Madam Is A Sensational Figure In The City Chapter 165 - 165: A Bangle From Black Cloud Fortress

Tang Qing stood up from the sofa and spat the cigarette in his mouth into the ashtray. "Did you just say that Huo Xishen's wife is here too?"

"Yes, I just passed by Shen Yan and I heard her introducing the lady beside her as Second Young Mistress Huo."

'The women of the Huo Family really don't take me seriously anymore, do they? How dare they e running to my territory?'

There was still more than half an hour to go before the auction would begin so Yan Jinyi and Shen Yan were resting in the lounge.

"Jinyi, the items that are being put on auction this time are special. They were all sent here by the wives and daughters of affluent men, but most of them are treasured paintings and calligraphy. Grandpa is quite interested in those things."

'Auction items sent over by the wives of affluent men?'

Yan Jinyi thought about it and asked, "Sister-in-law, am I considered the wife of an affluent man?"

Shen Yan did not expect Yan Jinyi to suddenly ask that question. With a nod of her head she answered, "The Huo Family is the top wealthy family, you are naturally the wife of a wealthy man."

In fact, she was considered one of the top few wives.

Yan Jinyi was glad to be part of the upper class society.

"Can I put something up for auction too?"

"Of course you can, it shouldn't be too late to register now."

Soon, the person in charge was called over.

Tang Qing came down from upstairs just in time to see the manager of the auction walking over with a tray.

"Wait, what's that?"

Upon sight of Tang Qing, the person in charge immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Hello, Mr. Tang, this is an item that Second Young Mistress Huo is putting up for auction."

"Huh?"

'Second Young Mistress Huo's auction item?'

Tang Qing raised his brows curiously and lifted the silk cloth on the tray without uttering another word, only to see a wooden bangle.

"What on earth is this?"

"Mr. Tang, Second Young Mistress Huo said that this is a magical bangle that was produced in the Black Cloud Fortress and can ward off evil spirits to ensure peace of the wearer. She hesitated for a long time before deciding to put it up for auction."

'Since she can't bear to part with her bangle, don't put it up for auction!'

"How much is she asking for that lousy thing?"

The person in charge coughed and answered, "The starting bid is 200,000 yuan."

'It's just a wooden bangle and she's asking for 200,000 yuan?'

"Is it made of some rare wood?"

"Second Young Mistress Huo said that this bangle is made of wood that contains the essence of the sun and moon after a full hundred years of absorption in the Black Cloud Fortress. Since it's from Second Young Mistress Huo, it's definitely an extraordinary item."

'So, what exactly is the Black Cloud Fortress?'

Tang Qing looked at the tightly closed door of the lounge.

Yan Jinyi and Shen Yan happened to be getting ready to go out. The moment they pulled open the door, they almost knocked into Tang Qing. With a frown on her pretty face, Yan Jinyi hollered, "Which lunatic is this? Don't you know this is a place for women to rest?"

???

Tang Qing was bewildered.

'Since when has the room that I use to receive VIPs, bee a resting place that is exclusive to women?'

Shen Yan had already recognized Tang Qing. She pulled Yan Jinyi up, and nodded at him with a dignified smile on his face. "Mr. Tang, it's been long since we met."

Tang Qing had been keeping his gaze fixed on Yan Jinyi.

He recognized that woman to be the female lead of 'Female Fortress Leader' and he had even watched the video of her hitting Lin Chenggong!

That was the film that caused him to feel the most humiliated he had ever been in his life.

A failed investment in a film was not a novel thing but the idiotic netizens pared 'Islander' to 'Female Fortress Leader', thus making the entire crew and Tang Qing himself a laughing stock!

'What is this woman doing with Shen Yan?'

Tang Qing subconsciously looked into the room to see that there was no one else, so...

Was this woman, who indirectly caused him to be mocked by others, Huo Xishen's wife whom he married some time ago?
