Chapter 108: For The Sake of Chen Family’s Fortune (2)

Later, although the post was deleted, Ye Sui couldn’t let the matter go. She had to think up a way to deal with Chang Ying and Chen Xiu to give Chen Shu some relief.

A few days later, Ye Sui learned that Chang Ying had taken a fancy to something and was going to the charity auction. Ye Sui smiled; how could she let Chang Ying get what she wanted?

Soon, it was the charity auction. This evening, the sky was dotted with stars. Cars were parked at the door, and the auction hall was brightly lit. Although it was dark, it seemed like daylight.

Chang Ying had already arrived at the venue. She was sitting with her agent.

Chang Ying knew that the last item at auction would be a jadeite bracelet. She had always liked such things, and whenever there were high-quality jade items, she would collect them.

Moreover, after giving the evil idea of defaming Chen Shu, the public opinion on the Internet had shifted toward Chen Xiu.

Although the post had inexplicably disappeared, Chen Xiu was about to become the heir to the Chen Family, so she was still in a good mood.

After a while, Chang Ying sensed that someone was sitting next to her. She turned her head and looked over. Unexpectedly encountering Ye Sui here, Chang Ying’s face suddenly darkened. “What are you doing here?”

Ye Sui didn’t even look at Chang Ying. She just gently caressed her cuff and said carelessly, “If you can come, why can’t I?

“From what you’re saying, have you bought the entire auction hall?”

Chang Ying turned pale. She was not prepared to greet Ye Sui. Although Chang Ying didn’t want to sit with her, if she just stood up and left, it would seem that she had yielded to Ye Sui.

Therefore, Chag Ying remained in her seat.

Ye Sui still did not look at Chang Ying, and her side face was icy. “You are the one who put the news on the Internet.”

Ye Sui did not beat around the bush, wording it calmly as if it was a fact.

Chang Ying was startled. Even though she had understood Ye Sui’s meaning, she still showed a gloating smile. “So what?”

Anyway, she and Ye Sui had long been at odds, while Chen Xiu and Chen Shu also had a poor relationship. The two of them were destined to be enemies.

Chang Ying added, “What I said is all true, though.” As long as Chen Shu’s image was ruined, his chances of being an heir would drastically decrease.

Ye Sui finally turned her head, her icy gaze staring at Chang Ying. Her voice was so cold, it was like thousand-year-old snow. “The truth? In your eyes, you can just slander people to get what you want?

“Is your bottom line so low?”

Chang Ying: “There will only be one heir to the Chen Family.”

Ye Sui sneered. “We couldn’t care less about the Chen Family’s properties. Since you’ve decided to provoke me, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

Chang Ying was just about to ask Ye Sui what she meant by not caring about the Chen Family’s fortune when the auction began.

The items were auctioned off one after another. Finally, it was the finale of the auction. The model walked onto the stage with the jadeite bracelet, which had an excellent texture and glowed under the light.

Chang Ying’s eyes lit up. She had wanted this bracelet for a long time, also the whole reason she had come here today. From the side, Ye Sui caught a glimpse of Chang Ying’s reaction and sneered.

‘I’ll see if you can get this bracelet today.’

The auctioneer announced on the stage, “The final item is a jadeite bracelet, with a starting price of 4 million. Bidding starts now!”

When the bidding began, Chag Ying was the first to say, “6 million!”

As soon as Chang Ying opened her mouth and added 2 million, everyone looked in her direction. It was only then that they found that the original popular campus belle had also come here.

Wait, who was sitting next to Chang Ying? It was Ye Sui! Weren’t the two of them always in conflict?

Chang Ying didn’t care what they thought; she just wanted to take the bracelet. While she kept staring at the bracelet on the stage, a cold voice suddenly sounded next to her.

“7 million.”

Chang Ying looked to the side in surprise and met Ye Sui’s smirking eyes. She suddenly understood the purpose of Ye Sui coming here. Chang Ying got angry and said, “Are you planning to fight me today?”

Ye Sui bent her lips, but her eyes remained cold. “Do you like this jade bracelet? Coincidentally, I like it very much, too.”

Ye Sui’s tone was firm. “I will get this bracelet today.”

Chang Ying choked up with anger. She knew why Ye Sui was doing this: Ye Sui was furious that she and Chen Xiu were slandering Chen Shu. Thus, she wanted to fight her.

Chen Xiu had already lost the right to inherit the Chen Family. If she didn’t get the item at the auction today, it meant she would lose, too.

How could she lose face?!

Chang Ying immediately raised the bid. “8.5 million.”

Ye Sui’s voice remained slow and leisurely. “9.5 million.”

Chang Ying said her next bid with some heartache, “11 million.” She didn’t believe that Ye Sui would keep up with her.

Ye Sui’s voice sounded from next to her. “12 million.”

Chang Ying: “14.5 million.”

Ye Sui looked at Chang Ying and said slowly, “15.5 million.”

Everyone else had stopped bidding by now as they enjoyed the bidding war between Ye Sui and Chang Ying. On the other hand, the price of the jade bracelet was getting higher and higher.

Ye Sui did not know that Chen Shu had also come to the auction. As soon as she arrived here, he had discovered her and kept an eye on her.

At the VIP table, Wang Chuan told Chen Shu, “President Chen, Ye Sui is bidding with Chang Ying below.” And the competition was fierce.

Chen Shu said faintly, “Hmm.”

Wang Chuan tried to probe, “What are we going to do?” Since Huarui’s Madam was interested in something, President Chen would give her a hand.

After thinking for a few seconds, Chen Shu calmly replied, “She has her own ideas. Let her do as she pleases. Unless necessary, I won’t interfere.”

He knew exactly what Ye Sui was thinking: She wanted to seek revenge for him.

The corner of Chen Shu’s mouth curled up into a smile. No matter what she did, he would indulge her.

Wang Chuan observed the scene for a while and sniffed out something unusual. “President, Madam’s bidding is very interesting.”

Chang Ying had increased the price once again, so Ye Sui followed her. But it was only 1 million higher than Chang Ying’s, no more, no less.

Chen Shu also found it rather intriguing. It was like a cat playing with a mouse; no matter what the mouse tried, it could never escape the cat’s palm.

Ye Sui was the shrewd cat, while Chang Ying was the mouse. Ye Sui gradually increased the price, leaving a glimmer of hope for Chang Ying.

However, the one-million-increase also gave Chang Ying a slight illusion that she would never win over Ye Sui.

In this way, Chang Ying would be full of hope at one moment, then frustrated in the other. Hopeful, frustrated, she was forever cycling between the two emotions.

Ye Sui would exhaust all of Chang Ying’s patience and hope bit by bit until the very end.

Chang Ying could not stand it any longer. She took a deep breath and said, “Ye Sui, are you crazy? Paying such a high price just to buy an emerald bracelet!”

Ye Sui glanced at her and slowly spat out three words, “I don’t mind.”

Ye Sui then looked askance at Chang Ying and said sarcastically, “The price is a bit high, but is it me who’s afraid now, or you?”

Chang Ying was once again provoked. She didn’t expect the situation to come to this. She kind of wanted to give up, but…

The auctioneer had also started feeling uneasy. He asked Chang Ying in a low voice, “Are you still bidding? This amount is too big…”

Chang Ying thought angrily, ‘Continue, why not?’ At this point, everyone was watching them, so whoever lost would lose face.

In for a penny, in for a pound.

Chang Ying: “17 million.”

Ye Sui: “18 million.”

Chang Ying finally noticed something amiss: Ye Sui’s price was only 1 million more than hers each time. She always felt as if Ye Sui was playing her. If she dragged on like this, when would it come to an end?

Chang Ying growled, “Are you really going to fight me to the end?”

Ye Sui glanced at Chang Ying, and she suddenly smiled before asking in a cold tone, “You think I’m not serious?”

Ye Sui said word by word, “If you can’t afford it, don’t waste my time.”

Although Chang Ying was furious, the price was too high. No matter how good the emerald bracelet was, she never thought she would spend so much money on it.

Chang Ying turned silent.

Everyone knew that Ye Sui and Chang Ying were going to fight to the end. Anyway, the jade bracelet would either be obtained by Ye Sui or Chang Ying.

Judging by the situation, it seemed that Ye Sui was more likely to get it.

At this time, the VIP room door suddenly opened, causing everyone to look at it. They knew that President Chen was sitting in the VIP room. Did he also intend to bid?

When Ye Sui saw Wang Chuan, she was delighted. Could it be that Chen Shu was also here?

The auctioneer saw Wang Chuan and asked, “Is President Chen going to bid?”

Wang Chuan nodded. He casually glanced at Ye Sui before withdrawing his sight, and then he said, “30 million.”

Wang Chuan’s voice reached everyone’s ears. They hadn’t imagined that President Chen would go so far as to raise the price by more than 10 million! It seemed that he had taken a fancy to the item.

However, everyone soon thought of another possibility: Chang Ying was now competing with Ye Sui, and Ye Sui was an artist of Huarui.

Was President Chen doing this to protect Ye Sui?
