The most poisonous female supporting role in the end times
Chapter 40 Private Room
Along the way, Meng Huo briefly told Su Tang about the auction.
He only said a few words, but Su Tang felt that they contained a lot of information.
Basically, since the construction of the Dead City and the situation stabilized, the Upper District would hold such an auction every once in a while.
The organizer, on the surface, is the largest auction house in the Dead City, but in reality it is a direct descendant of Meng Liangguang. Su Tang guessed that he did not come forward directly to avoid someone using connections to interfere. As for whether Meng Huo and Meng Xiang were included, it was unknown.
Furthermore, Meng Liangguang's purpose in holding auctions was not just to exchange goods and activate the market. Perhaps more importantly, in auctions, through the items he liked and the prices he bid, he could often find out the details of certain forces in the city or outside.
Su Tang conspired, so, the auction is a means for the city lord to more tightly control the power of the Dead City!
She was thinking deeply when Meng Huo suddenly said expressionlessly, "Actually, you don't have to expect too much. Do you think that truly good things will have a chance to flow into such an occasion?"
Su Tang nodded vigorously in understanding.
She knew that it must not exist! It must have been divided up by the privileged class long ago!
"So, just take a look. Of course, if you like something, just snap it up. Don't worry about the price."
Su Tang was suddenly embarrassed.
Are you going to pay for me? But it's really inappropriate for you to say such ambiguous words with a cold face, Mr. Meng!
But then, Meng Huo continued, "If nothing unexpected happens, your current wealth should be enough to pay for the most expensive item at the auction."
Spit blood!
Su Tang felt that this was the coldest joke she had ever heard! But she had to say that she felt much more at ease. There is no such thing as a free lunch, and others will not treat you well for no reason.
Although I thought so, I still felt unhappy.
Did this guy Meng Huo do it on purpose or on purpose?
Seeing her expression changing constantly, Meng Huo couldn't hide the smile in his eyes. (No pop-up ads) Well, he admitted that he was teasing her on purpose, because her reaction was always so interesting. However, he also knew when to stop.
"I'm just kidding." He cleared his throat. "I'll pay for the auction."
Su Tang was about to refuse, but he said sincerely, "The crossbow is very well made, amazing, this is a thank you in addition to the reward. In addition, the incident with Meng Xiang was my mistake, this can be regarded as an apology, I hope you don't mind."
Now Su Tang felt proud but also embarrassed.
It is necessary for the bow and crossbow to be praised!
But Meng Xiang knew about this and came to her house. She later thought that it was probably because he guessed it. After all, this was the only value she could bring to him.
Meng Huo apologized so solemnly and offered to make amends, it was really... But before she could say anything, the car had stopped.
"We're here, come on down."
Su Tang looked at the buildings outside and got out of the car quickly. Forget it, he didn't necessarily want to take pictures anyway.
The address of the auction was public, in the backyard of the "Everything" auction house. But after entering, Su Tang discovered that not everyone could participate. One had to hold an invitation and pay a certain amount of crystal cores... What a way to make money! Moreover, the actual auction venue had only one entrance, standing in the backyard, similar to the entrance of an air-raid shelter.
I have to admire Meng Liangguang for being so well prepared.
Being underground would undoubtedly greatly improve safety. Those who wanted to cause trouble from the ground would first have to face a large number of supernatural security personnel.
The "air-raid shelter" was also very solidly built. Under the bright light, Su Tang touched the wall on one side. The stone was very dense, and it would take a lot of bombs to break it. Obviously, the possibility of being breached was too small.
The tunnel spiraled downward and turned several corners, and they finally arrived at the real auction venue.
The bright lights made the wide hall look like daylight. The auction table at the innermost part was slightly higher than the ground. At this time, there was only a wooden table in the center to display the auction items. There was also a machine next to it, corresponding to the white wall behind. Needless to say, it would play images of the auction items later.
At this time, many participants have arrived.
Among them were men and women, young and old, some young people dressed very gorgeously, and some women even wore dresses that were rarely seen in the apocalypse. They held wine glasses in their hands, gathered in twos and threes, and laughed from time to time while talking.
The waiters shuttled back and forth, diligently serving everyone's needs.
At first glance, this doesn't look like an auction, but more like a cocktail party.
The feeling of disharmony in Su Tang's heart came up again.
She didn't understand why people still wanted to make such a scene when it was the end of the world and supplies were extremely scarce. If she wanted to relax, wouldn't it be faster to go home and have a good sleep?
If Meng Liangguang did this to show off his financial resources and strength, then what about these people? Instead of wearing a huge diamond ring on your hand, it would be better to use it to make weapons to fight against the mutant beasts outside the city!
She didn't understand them, and they looked at her just as strangely.
Although the girl who just came in was indeed good-looking, her unfamiliar face, unattractive hairstyle, and ordinary combat uniform all showed that she was definitely not from a famous family in the city. But the strange thing was that she was standing next to Meng Huo, and the two seemed to have a good relationship?
Most of those who could participate in the auction were from well-known families in the upper class area, so they naturally knew Meng Huo. Many people had also heard rumors that Meng Huo was not interested in women, so it was not surprising that he brought his own female companion when he made his first public appearance after his return!
Meng Huo, however, paid no attention to the gazes of the crowd. After briefly greeting a few men he was considered to be friendly with, he led Su Tang to the staircase on one side, whispering as he walked, "The four major families in the upper-class district have all sent their elite children here. It seems that there are some good items for the auction this time. You can be more careful in choosing when the auction starts."
Su Tang blinked and responded softly.
She was so absorbed in calculating whether she had enough crystal cores that she didn't notice that when Meng Huo glanced at the men and women in gorgeous clothes, there was deep disgust hidden in his eyes.
There are indeed many elite children in the four major families. The far-sighted ones will constantly hone themselves and even recruit potential supernaturals from the other two districts. However, there are also many people, like these guys who dress themselves up like male and female peacocks. There are many supernaturals among them, but they don’t think about how to advance all day long, but focus on the city, either seeking pleasure and living a life of drunkenness, or building nepotism and engaging in internal fighting.
How stupid!
The two of them were thinking about their own things and didn't speak for a while.
After going up to the second floor, Su Tang slowly realized that there were VIPs in the auction. The second floor was different from the lobby below. It was full of separate small rooms, which were obviously prepared for those people with important status in the auction.
The waiter smiled at them and said, "Mr. Meng, Miss, your rooms are ready. Please follow me."
Su Tang followed Meng Huo with a smile on her face. The private room was good because it gave her privacy. But her good mood soon turned into slag.
When the waiter opened the door of the private room in the middle, she suddenly found a man and a woman sitting inside, chatting. The two figures made her feel a little sad without even seeing their owners' faces.
The plot master really harbored deep ill will towards her!
The drama of "We meet each other everywhere in life" is so bad that it can't be any worse!
Meng Huo's eyes narrowed, and he was obviously surprised and dissatisfied with this arrangement. He turned to the waiter and said, "I remember that I wanted a private room."
The waiter made a bitter face and was about to explain, but Meng Xiang and Lu Nuan turned around after hearing the voice and quickly glanced at the two people standing at the door.
Lu Nuan smiled, seemingly oblivious to the awkward situation. Meng Xiang raised his lips strangely, "Why, big brother, don't you want to share a room with me? I came all the way here for nothing. Or... Su Tang, are you dissatisfied with my arrangement? You know, before, we brothers all shared a room..."
Su Tang secretly rolled his eyes, with a brotherly look, I just want to destroy your love and affection, how much you want to perform! Everyone knows that Meng Huo left for several years and just came back. Don't you think I'm blind and can't see the truth that you are getting more and more distant?
She looked at Meng Huo, wondering what he would do...
At this moment, Meng Huo's eyes flashed and he suddenly smiled.
Su Tang shuddered suddenly.
In the eyes of the waiter, this smile represented acceptance, and in the eyes of Meng Xiang and Lu Nuan, it represented weakness, but Su Tang inexplicably realized his true meaning.
Absolutely, definitely someone is being plotted against!
But she quickly realized why she was shaking. It must not be her, and it had nothing to do with her... Wait, Su Tang was surprised to find that her hand was taken up by another big hand and led into the private room. At the same time, Meng Huo's familiar voice sounded in her ears, "I didn't expect you to still remember the past. It's okay to share a room. But I thought that since you came with Miss Lu, you naturally wanted to be alone, just like Tang Tang and I."
What's the point of being alone? What a joke! Su Tang was pressed into a chair, and his hair stood on end!
Meng Huo, you villain!
Even if you want to make things difficult for Meng Xiang, do you really have to include me in your calculations?
We are innocent, you are destroying my reputation!
Su Tang managed to hold back his anger and not do anything in front of the two men. He looked up and met Meng Huo's meaningful eyes. It seemed to be saying, this is not bad, isn't it?
Not bad...
She couldn't help but relax her shoulders and think.
It seems... indeed.
She noticed that they seemed to be "looking at each other affectionately". After Meng Xiang's gaze turned cold, he turned around and whispered to Lu Nuan.
Although Meng Huo's method is bad, if Meng Xiang will give up his inexplicable entanglement, perhaps it is a way out.
