Chapter 109: The Foreign Ghost (1)

President Chen of Huarui had unexpectedly bid for a jadeite bracelet at a sky-high price of 30 million! The way everyone looked at Wang Chuan was a little complicated.

They all know that President Chen had high standards. If he didn’t take a fancy to the items at auction here, he wouldn’t take part in the bidding.

But this time, President Chen had participated in the bidding, and the amount was also enormous.

Furthermore, Ye Sui had also participated in the bidding war. It was uncertain whether President Chen had really taken a fancy to the jadeite bracelet or he was only helping Ye Sui because she was a Huarui artist.

No one knew the answer.

When Ye Sui saw that Chen Shu was about to bid, she was stupefied for a few seconds. Then, a smile floated in her eyes. She knew that Chen Shu was going to help her.

Ye Sui pretended to inadvertently glance at the VIP seat upstairs, knowing that the person who cared for her and didn’t want her to suffer in any way was sitting behind that door.

Chang Ying clenched her fist with anger. Before, Ye Sui had deliberately increased the price again and again, which had made her nervous. As time passed, she had no idea how high the final price would be.

And now that President Chen was interfering, it proved his attitude.

In this auction, he won’t allow anyone else to buy this jadeite bracelet, particularly her. Ye Sui was his wife, so Chen Shu would make Ye Sui look good in front of everyone.

Chang Ying wanted to continue bidding; after all, everyone was watching them. However, this was President Chen of Huarui. She couldn’t compete with him in terms of money.

The top resources in the entertainment industry were all in Huarui’s hands. Not only could she not offend President Chen, but she must also please him. She was a little afraid to provoke even Ye Sui now.

She was destined to lose face at this auction.

Finally, the auctioneer said, “Is anyone else bidding?”

Everyone looked at Chang Ying. Because of President Chen’s move, Ye Sui no longer needed to bid. Only Chang Ying was left.

Chang Ying’s body stiffened, and she didn’t bid anymore.

Auctioneer: “First call for thirty million.”

The hall was silent, and no one made a bid.

The auctioneer repeated, “Second call for thirty million.”

There was no voice.

The auctioneer yelled one last time, “Last call for thirty million.” The hammer fell, and the auctioneer’s voice resounded in the hall. “This bracelet belongs to President Chen.”

Bang! The final auction item was bought by President Chen of Huarui.

Tonight’s auction was about to come to an end, so Wang Chuan got the jadeite bracelet. Everyone thought that President Chen would just leave with the item. After all, that was what he did at every previous auction.

Get what he liked and leave, not staying half a second longer. But this time, his actions were bound to shock everyone.

Not only did Wang Chuan not return to the VIP room, but he also took the bracelet and walked up to Ye Sui. He looked at her and opened his mouth.

“Miss Ye Sui, please stay.”

The departing people all stopped in their tracks and stared at Ye Sui, puzzled. Why didn’t Wang Chuan give the bracelet to President Chen directly?

Wang Chuan’s actions reflected President Chen’s intentions. What was he planning to do now? Once again, Ye Sui was also stunned like others. Even she couldn’t figure out Chen Shu’s thoughts.

Wang Chuan remembered his boss’s instructions. He remained composed as he handed the bracelet to Ye Sui, his voice sounding clear, “Miss Ye Sui, this bracelet is a gift from President Chen. Now, it’s yours.”

Ye Sui was dumbfounded. She understood Chen Shu’s purpose. He was doing this to let Chang Ying and everyone know that Huarui would protect her.

An unspeakable emotion floated in Ye Sui’s heart. However, she restrained it and accepted the bracelet. “Thank you.”

After Wang Chuan completed the task, he left with satisfaction.

The hall was silent. Everyone was so shocked that they could not speak. Tonight, President Chen had participated in the bidding, and now he even gave the high-profile jadeite bracelet to Ye Sui.

President Chen had acted in an unusually flamboyant manner. President Chen didn’t hide his intentions at all: he was clearly supporting Ye Sui.

Tonight, Ye Sui had been glorious, but what about Chang Ying, who opposed her?

When the crowd looked at Chang Ying again, her face was ashen. There was not a trace of blood on her lips, which were even paler than the light.

The crowd couldn’t help but remember the antique vase that Chen Xiu had presented to President Chen before but was rejected by him. They then looked at Chang Ying with a bit of sarcasm in their eyes.

Chang Ying’s boyfriend had lost to President Chen, and now, in order to support his artists, he was spending a lot of money to buy the final auction item.

President Chen had once slapped Chen Xiu in the face, and Chang Ying was Chen Xiu’s girlfriend. Now, she was also slapped in the face by President Chen. After Chang Ying came here today, ever since she tried to compete with Ye Sui, she had been a joke!

With everybody watching her, Chang Ying’s face reddened with shame. She really wanted to dig a hole and hide.

Chang Ying regretted coming here tonight. She didn’t get any benefit and was laughed at by others instead.

Still, Chang Ying’s thoughts were not messed up. She was puzzled when she thought of President Chen’s behavior. Why did President Chen give Ye Sui a high-priced jadeite bracelet?

What was his relationship with Ye Sui?

Suddenly, Chang Ying’s heart welled up with fear and panic.

Many different thoughts flashed in Chang Ying’s mind. Chen Shu, President Chen, their last names were the same, they were concerned about Ye Sui, and they were very low-key…

There were too many similarities, and Chang Ying’s heart hid a most frightening suspicion.

She remembered Ye Sui saying that Chen Shu had a private jet. What kind of financial resources would be able to afford to buy a private jet?

She and Chen Xiu had speculated about Chen Shu’s investment. Why was he rich beyond all of their wildest dreams?

Chang Ying also recalled one more thing: Chen Xiu had once mentioned to her that when he went to Huarui one day, he had seen Qin Xin talking to a person whose figure was familiar.

They had thought of countless possibilities but never once linked Chen Shu with Huarui’s President Chen.

Today, all of their impossible conjectures were vaguely clustered together, and finally, they all converge into the most incredible and incomprehensible result.

Chen Shu, Chen Xiu’s ill-fated uncle, a useless person, and someone they had always looked down on, turned out to be Huarui’s low-key, never-showing president, President Chen!

This incident was like a bolt from the blue for Chang Ying, and it had slapped her right on the face.

Recalling what she had done to Chen Shu and Ye Sui, Chang Ying arrived at a desperate conclusion: she was finished.

The auction was over, and the crowd left one after another. Ye Sui was also about to get in Xiao Liu’s car and leave. At this time, her cell phone rang; it was a call from Chen Shu.

Ye Sui’s lips curved into a smile as she picked up the call. Chen Shu’s voice sounded from the speaker. “Miss Ye, are you satisfied with the bracelet I gave you?”

The last few words were said in a slightly raised tone, as if smiling.

Ye Sui also smiled. So, Chen Shu also had this side to him. Her eyes brightened in response. “There’s nothing I am unsatisfied with.”

Chen Shu’s breathing was gentle, as if brushing Ye Sui’s ear across the phone.

He smiled softly. “I’ll wait for you at an intersection up ahead.”

At this time, the people in the auction hall were all gone. Ye Sui walked out of the hall and asked Xiao Liu to drop her at the next intersection.

Xiao Liu did as instructed and drove away. As Ye Sui took a few steps forward, she saw a black car parked there. She immediately recognized that it was Chen Shu’s car.

At this time, the driver’s door opened, and Chen Shu got out of the car. He walked towards Ye Sui, step by step. His legs were long, and with every step he took, his feet cast a long shadow.

Seeing Chen Shu, Ye Sui’s mood unconsciously became pleasant. She raised her head and seriously stared at Chen Shu.

In the silent winter night, the leaves rustled.

Light and shadow flickered across Chen Shu’s face. From his deep eyes to the straight nose bridge, the light finally converged on the corners of his perfectly curved lips.

Chen Shu stood in the dark, yet he seemed to brighten up the darkness around him. Light and shadow poured from everywhere, and he was the brightest of them all.

His every subtle movement, even if it was just a squint, was reflected in Ye Sui’s eyes. It was so clear and vivid.
