NOVEL NEXT Chapter 18
Chapter: 018:
Sun Zhentian couldn’t bear it anymore.
His toes dug into his shoes as he addressed the crowd, “Sorry, everyone. My daughter-in-law just gave birth. I need to leave now. The Sun family will offer a formal apology later for today’s event!”
With those words, he briskly walked out without looking back, swiftly entered his car, and drove off.
The crowd’s anger was directed directly at Ye Chen.
The person who had just defended Ye Chen was the most aggressive in his curse; he was almost ready to vomit!
“What absurdity is this? This man has no sense of dignity or manners! He’s merely a fraud!”
“Being a mere security guard, why does he pretend to be a university official?”
“How can the auction be managed like this? How could such an individual be permitted here?”
“In addition to his arrogance, he has the audacity to bid without money? How disgusting!”
For so long, these high-class figures, all family patriarchs, were flattering a security guard? If this matter got out, where would they put their faces?
Those who initially disdained other for flattering behavior toward Ye Chen, they couldn’t help but laugh now.
“This is getting exciting!”
“I didn’t expect so many twists and turns at today’s auction!”
“All these family patriarchs, each with a net worth of over a hundred million, actually kneeled and licked a security guard for so long!”
“Hahaha! These guys, who steer with the wind, actually got fooled by a security guard!”
Soon, a cold voice came from the second floor.
“This person is intentionally disrupting public order. Call the police and have him arrested!”
Following Jiang Mengyao’s instructions, the staff immediately surrounded Ye Chen, while someone notified the police.
Soon the police arrived and took Ye Chen away.
As Ye Chen was taken away from the premises, a glint of fury flashed in his eyes as he gazed at Chen Lang.
“Chen Lang, all the humiliation I suffered today is because of you! I, Ye Chen, will remember this grudge! I shall repay it a thousandfold!”
With that, he was driven away in a police vehicle.
Until Ye Chen was taken away, Chen Lang hadn’t fully recovered from his shock.
The plot was that Ye Chen rose to fame in the upper class through this auction and left a deep impression on Jiang Mengyao.
Was this considered a successful?
Or perhaps an extraordinary performance?
The auction resumed, but the people were clearly distracted. They couldn’t wait to tell friends who hadn’t been to the auction about it. One poor fellow dare to bid nineteen billion for a painting!
The series of events left them itching to meet friends for drinks and brag!
Though Ye Chen had indeed become famous in high society, he was taken away by the police. The phrase, “If I don’t open the gate, none of you can get in!” became a long-standing joke among upper class society
After the auction, the crowd left.
Jiang Mengyao personally escorted Chen Lang out, leaving a strong impression.
As Chen Lang’s wheelchair passed through the hall, he shouted, “The painting I liked the most was snatched by Ye Chen. I won’t let it go!”
Now, Chen Lang didn’t have time to worry about so much; he needed to play his part well. He had to be very angry because the next plot would unfold.
After everyone left, Xiao Mingyue and Cheng Jinjin exchanged meaningful glances from their corner. They had witnessed the entire spectacle and their expressions were filled with meaning.
Initially, they were shocked!
Chen Lang’s diary was partly correct, but not entirely! Ye Chen had gotten involved just as described in the diary, but but with Ye Chen as the unfortunate victim in the end!
The only explanation was that Jiang Mengyao also had Chen Lang’s diary! She knew about these things in advance!
Then they realized another thing!
They were even more sure they had to stay away from Ye Chen, this idiot!!!
The outcome was clear. Just like Sun Zhentian, not only would they be humiliated on the spot, they would even force their daughter-in-law to give birth prematurely!
…
In the car, Chen Lang threw the ‘Heart of the Red Whale’ that he had bought to the butler Xiao Zhang.
“Sell this diamond necklace on the black market!”
The butler Xiao Zhang was puzzled.
Chen Lang had just spent two billion yuan on it. Why sell it on the black market? It was sure to lose money.
“Young Master, this…”
“Don’t ask so many questions. Selling it for tens of millions will be enough.”
“Understood, Young Master.” Butler Xiao Zhang respectfully accepted it without saying more.
Chen Lang decided to sell it because he knew this diamond necklace was fake. And he knew Ye Chen’s plan to crush this diamond and expose it, so it was better to sell it beforehand and replace it with another fake.
After returning to his villa, Chen Lang lay down on the soft bed and began to rant while taking out his diary.
[Today’s weather is half cloudy and half sunny, just like my mood.]
[Just passing by a kindergarten on the way back from the auction, the loudspeaker was playing]
[Children, do you have many questions?]
[I immediately lowered the car window and shouted, “I, Master Brat, have many questions too!”]
[I just want to ask!]
[Did the beautiful lady banging the hammer was in a hurry to get off work and go home?]
[You started to rap on the stage, and it was all sold off just like that?]
[You didn’t give me any time to react at all!]
[I was ready to be the scapegoat! I can’t spend this twenty billion. I’m depressed!]
