Chapter 335: Comparing
Of course, today Gu Pan had exchanged quite a few grain tickets, so they would also place bids if there were good items. However, before the auction even started, two more people arrived nearby. The reason Gu Pan noticed them was because, if she wasn’t mistaken, the woman was Wen Zhu from the same dormitory in the Underground City. She was accompanied by a bald man who didn’t walk very gracefully and seemed to be quite old, at least in his sixties. The two of them, hand in hand, were obviously a couple.
Previously, when Wen Zhu was living in the Underground City, she was single. She didn’t go out much and emphasized her vulnerability as a woman alone in the apocalypse, but now it was clear she had latched onto a wealthy older man.
Lu Ruisheng also recognized it was Wen Zhu because his profession made him very sensitive to recognizing people. When someone he knew came close, he could feel it almost immediately.
Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng exchanged glances but said nothing. As they were now the auction hosts and the others were customers, this was not the place to teach her a lesson, even if they wanted to.
Wen Zhu looked towards the pair. At first, she didn’t recognize them, but after sitting down, something felt familiar. Looking from the side, she suddenly guessed it was Lu Ruisheng.
This wasn’t because she was particularly perceptive or good at recognizing people, but because she used to secretly watch Lu Ruisheng every day when she was living in the dormitory at the Underground City, and she was very familiar with every angle of him.
Indeed, she still had a liking for someone like Lu Ruisheng, who was handsome, well-built, capable, and well-connected. But since Lu Ruisheng wasn’t responsive to her advances, not even for a fling, what could she do? She too needed to survive, so she had turned her attention to someone like this old man, who typically adored younger women.
At that moment, Wen Zhu saw Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng holding hands. Looking at her own hand intertwined with Old Zhang, she felt a bit embarrassed.
She hoped they hadn’t recognized her, because if they had, Gu Pan would surely look down on her and possibly even humiliate her.
