There were all kinds of strange things in the world.
Shen Xi smiled and said, "If there really is one, I would like to see it for myself."
She had gotten her hands on a few hundred years old snow lotus and used it to make medicine for her brother. At that time, Situ had used all of his power, but he still couldn't find anything about it.
However, Huaxia was so big, so it wasn't surprising that there would be a thousand-year-old snow lotus.
"Shen Xi, are you going?" A boy wearing glasses in front of her heard her words and turned to ask her.
Shen Xi knew him, but they hadn't spoken much. She hadn't come to school that many times, but she remembered his name. It was Lu Ning. She nodded and smiled at him. "I want to see it. Where is it on display?"
"It is said that this snow lotus is a treasure that the Qing family has been guarding for a thousand years. It will be auctioned at Baoxuan Pavilion today. I happen to be going there today. If you don't mind, I can take you there. You don't need an invitation." Lu Ning was very approachable.
He knew Shen Xi's identity, so he naturally knew that if she wanted to go, she could directly ask for an invitation. However, he just casually mentioned it to her.
"Thank you." Shen Xi didn't stand on ceremony. However, she was still a little surprised that he had an invitation from Baoxuan Pavilion.
Baoxuan Pavilion was one of the top auction houses in China. Appraising and auctioning treasures were all on the level of national treasures. They wouldn't open their doors easily unless there was a heavyweight item that could make them open their doors.
"You want that snow lotus?" Lu Ning was a little surprised by her straightforward reply.
Now everyone knew that Shen Xi was the eldest daughter of the Fu family. The Fu family was one of the top families in the world. If she wanted to bid for it, money wouldn't be a problem.
Shen Xi smiled and said, "I just want to see it."
This snow lotus was the best medicinal herb that was hard to come by in thousands of years. People who wanted it must have racked their brains to fight for it. She knew that she didn't have the ability to compete with others.
Lu Ning glanced at her and did not continue to say anything, but the look in her eyes darkened for a moment.
Ever since his family found out that Shen Xi was in the same class as him, they had been persuading him to pursue Shen Xi. If he could win her favor, it would be a blessing for the Lu family.
He knew his own strength best. How could he be worthy of her?
But even if he could recognize himself, the people at home could not. How could the Lu Family compare with the Fu Family? What could they use to curry favor with the Fu Family?
Yan Xiaoxiao and Jiang Xuanxuan loved to gossip. At this moment, they were whispering to each other about Lu Ning.
Lu Ning was also a rich second generation. His family was very rich. He was from the Lu family in the capital. Although the Lu family was not a well-known big family, it was still a small family with some foundation.
Lu Ning was handsome, outstanding, and humble. He was their class monitor and the pride of their class.
Last month, with a huge gap of a thousand votes, he crushed the senior who was in the same class as him. As a freshman, he secured his position as the president of the student union. Everyone was talking about him.
Right now, he was the talk of the town in school. If not for the fact that Yu Qiubai had completely crushed him in terms of looks and took away the title of 'school hunk', he would have been even more impressive.
"What does Lu Ning's family do?" Shen Xi asked the two gossiping people curiously.
"He's from the Lu family." Yan Xiaoxiao knew this and answered quickly, "His family is very rich. Of course, they can't compare to your family."
Shen Xi was a little speechless. In the whole of Huaxia, in the whole world, how many families could compare to the Fu family? But she was still sensitive to the words Lu family. After all, Lu Li was from the Lu family.
She didn't know if Lu Ning's Lu family and Lu Li's Lu family were the same family.
She didn't think too much about it. After class in the afternoon, Lu Ning walked up to her and said, "It's time to go now."
Yan Xiaoxiao and Jiang Xuanxuan also wanted to go with him to see what the best auction in Huaxia was like. But they weren't stupid enough to ask someone to take them there.
Shen Xi followed Lu Ning to the parking lot. The car he drove was very low-key. He had a very clean temperament and looked like a bright and cute boy. He didn't have any of the bad habits of a rich second generation. It was obvious that he had a very good upbringing.
But Lu Li's family, judging by their attitude towards Lu Li, were not good people. They probably weren't from the same Lu family as him.
The number of small clans like the Lu Clan could not even be counted with ten fingers.
Lu Ning kept a gentlemanly distance from her. The two of them didn't speak on the way to Baoxuan Pavilion.
At this time, Baoxuan Pavilion was already very lively. After taking a seat, people were chatting in twos and threes about the treasures that would be auctioned today.
Lu Ning's seat was very far away. He was at the back left. He was a little nervous as he observed her reaction. He was relieved when he didn't see any disdain on her face.
On the way here, he was worried that she would dislike or be angry at him. He said he would take her to Baoxuan Pavilion, but the seat wasn't good.
After Shen Xi sat down, she glanced at the people present. Those who were qualified to enter were either rich or respectable. Those who could sit in the best seats were all big shots.
When she looked over, someone looked over as well. It was Situ Zhangyou. The moment he saw her, surprise flashed in his eyes. He nodded and smiled at her before leaving his seat.
Soon, it was Shen Xi's turn. When he heard that she was brought in by Lu Ning, he took a second look at Lu Ning and smiled humbly. "Mr. Lu, can I trouble you to change seats with me? I'm sitting in row 10. My name is on it."
If the boss found out that Little Mistress came to the auction with a guy, it would be terrible. As a qualified subordinate, he had to think for his boss at all times. He couldn't let anyone take advantage of him and steal his boss's woman!
Lu Ning nodded calmly and gave up his seat. After informing Shen Xi, he went to Situ Zhangyou's seat in the front row.
Situ Zhangyou asked her, "You want the 1,000-year-old snow lotus?"
He didn't tell her about the snow lotus because Kunlun warned him that this was the honeymoon period between the boss and Little Mistress. No one was to disturb them.
Shen Xi smiled. "I'm just here to take a look and feast my eyes. There must be a lot of people who want to buy the snow lotus today!"
Situ Zhangyou pointed at the people in the auction hall. "Ninety percent of them."
The 1,000-year-old snow lotus was rumored to be able to bring the dead back to life. Even if it couldn't make people immortal, it could still prolong their lives.
Shen Xi's gaze swept to the last row on the right. She paused for a moment and happened to see that person looking over. That person even nodded and smiled at her.
Lu Li.
She recognized her.
