Zeng Hua looked up, intending to scold Zhu Ling'er.
However, before the scolding words could be uttered, he was captivated by Zhu Ling'er's beauty!
He had thought that Su Yu Yan, with her goddess-level beauty, was already the pinnacle.
Who knew that the woman before him was no less beautiful than Su Yu Yan!
It was just that Su Yu Yan exuded an air of dignified grace.
While Zhu Ling'er, with her sparkling black eyes, appeared lively and ethereal.
"May I know who this young lady is..." Zeng Hua gulped hard, his heart filled with ecstasy!
It seemed coming to this auction was truly the right decision!
To actually encounter such a stunner!
And unlike Su Yu Yan, this woman before him must have been brought by Su Yu Yan.
This implied her family background was not even second-rate.
Making her even easier to handle!
Zhu Ling'er naturally saw through Zeng Hua's thoughts at a glance, but she didn't bother to shatter his illusion.
What fun was there in making someone give up immediately?
When killing, one must first destroy their spirit!
So, Zhu Ling'er's eyes darted around, and she smiled, "Does it matter who I am?"
"I just heard you wish to marry Miss Su, and I wanted to tell you that Miss Su is already married!"
Upon hearing this, Zeng Hua smiled with renewed confidence.
He already knew that Su Yu Yan had registered her marriage.
After all, everyone in Yun Hai City knew about the commotion between Su Yu Yan and Zhou Yu.
Everyone knew that Su Yu Yan had rejected Zhang Shao Hua for a live-in son-in-law who was a good-for-nothing!
But Zeng Hua was certain that the rumors surrounding this matter were not that simple!
After all, Su Yu Yan had been married for so long, yet her husband was never seen accompanying her.
At social gatherings, it was usually Su Yu Yan attending alone.
Either her husband was not recognized by the Su family, or Su Yu Yan had simply found someone as a shield because she had no intention of marrying Zhang Shao Hua.
Zeng Hua believed the latter possibility was more likely.
However, Zeng Hua's desire to marry Su Yu Yan did not preclude him from having designs on Zhu Ling'er.
Men, after all.
Who didn't wish for the blessings of multiple women?
One, graceful and dignified, perfect as the main wife.
While Zhu Ling'er seemed sharp and intelligent, she could be a charming concubine, understanding and considerate!
Thinking this, Zeng Hua said with a wicked grin, "Why are you so concerned about whether Miss Su is married?"
"Could it be that you're interested in me?"
Zhu Ling'er now felt a sense of empathy for Su Yu Yan's predicament.
She had never met such a shameless person!
Yet this man was like a sticky candy.
A smile from you, and he'd think you liked him.
A little bit of kindness, and Zeng Hua would probably be planning names for their children in his head!
Zhu Ling'er let out a scoff, scrutinizing Zeng Hua from head to toe with a dismissive gaze.
Then she said indifferently, "Do you think you are worthy?"
Zeng Hua, who had been standing tall and confident, allowing Zhu Ling'er to examine him.
Who knew Zhu Ling'er would say such a thing?
Enraged, he retorted, "How dare you!"
He, the esteemed young master of the Zeng family, had countless noble ladies eager to curry favor with him.
Why should a woman who could only enter the auction through Su Yu Yan look down on him?
Besides.
Zeng Hua was quite confident in his own appearance.
Not exceptionally handsome, perhaps, but he stood out among a crowd of fat, oily rich second-generation heirs!
Zhu Ling'er's simple rhetorical question had completely broken Zeng Hua's composure.
He couldn't deal with Su Yu Yan, but surely he could deal with a powerless woman?
With this thought, Zeng Hua directly turned his gaze to Su Yu Yan, a menacing look on his face.
"Miss Su, the female companion you brought has severely damaged my reputation!"
"Now, tell me what you intend to do about it!"
Although Zeng Hua did not say it directly, his words clearly implied that he expected Su Yu Yan to severely punish Zhu Ling'er.
Su Yu Yan glanced at Zhu Ling'er, a hint of surprise in her eyes.
She genuinely hadn't expected Zhu Ling'er, who always seemed to be at odds with her, to speak up for her at this moment.
"And what does Young Master Zeng propose?" Su Yu Yan asked with a half-smile.
"Expel her from the auction!"
"Miss Su, don't say I didn't warn you. You know the current situation of the Su family very well!"
"As the saying goes, when a wall falls, everyone pushes it. Our Zeng family doesn't want to be the first to push."
Zeng Hua threatened.
Su Yu Yan was instantly rendered speechless.
Although Su Yu Yan was displeased with Zhu Ling'er, she was still the person she had brought. How could anyone insult her?
Otherwise, what would become of the Su family's reputation?
More importantly, the Su family had not reached the point where they had to be wary of a mere Zeng family!
After a moment's thought, Su Yu Yan immediately refused, "It seems I will disappoint Young Master Zeng. This is someone I brought with me, and her words represent mine."
Zeng Hua hadn't expected Su Yu Yan to dare defy him for the sake of a powerless female companion.
The anger in his heart burned even more fiercely!
He said angrily, "Miss Su, you should think carefully. I'm not joking with you."
Unexpectedly, this statement caused Zhu Ling'er beside him to burst into laughter.
Zhu Ling'er looked at Zeng Hua with amusement, as if he had landed on his head when he was born.
His words clearly lacked any thought!
These past few days, Zhu Ling'er had been staying at the Su family's residence.
To be fair.
The Su family was not as powerful as the Zhu family.
But at least in Yun Hai City, they were still a reputable family!
The number of second-rate families seeking an audience with them daily was like clouds crossing the river.
What right did Zeng Hua have to threaten Su Yu Yan?
"Young Master Zeng, if your family still has some money, I advise you to get your head checked. Don't delay treatment," Zhu Ling'er said with pity.
This made Zeng Hua's veins bulge, his eyes widening like bronze bells.
Seeing this, the few sycophants following Zeng Hua immediately jumped out to defend their master.
"A mere lowly woman clinging to the Su family dares to speak to Young Master Zeng like this?"
"Even the Su family wouldn't dare offend Young Master Zeng, so who do you think you are!"
"Watch your attitude, or don't blame us for being ruthless!"
These lackeys' synchronized remarks finally made Zeng Hua feel a little better.
He stared coldly at Zhu Ling'er, and after a moment, his gaze fell on Su Yu Yan.
He said meaningfully, "Miss Su, I hope you won't regret today's matter!"
Although Zhu Ling'er had spoken disrespectfully,
She was brought by Su Yu Yan.
Su Yu Yan herself had stated that Zhu Ling'er's attitude represented her own!
Therefore, Zeng Hua's target would only be the Su family, and Su Yu Yan!
As for this Zhu Ling'er. Heh.
Just a piece of trash relying on the Su family.
When he brought down the Su family, a mere Zhu Ling'er would have no choice but to crawl and beg him!
At that time, with two exquisite women, he could do whatever he pleased!
Thinking of this, Zeng Hua's face broke into a sinister smile.
It sent shivers down one's spine!
If only Zeng Hua knew Zhu Ling'er's true identity,
He would likely be so terrified that his soul would fly out of his body at this very moment!
