Chapter 143: The Auction

Su Zhenhe and Chen Yurong kept giving Su Mingyue ideas.

Although Su Mingyue was incredibly shy, Chen Yurong's suggestion made her heart race.

At the same time, Lin Wei was also relentlessly interrogating Lin Feng.

"Brother, how did it go that night? Did you and sister-in-law make it happen?"

"Why aren't you saying anything? Could it be you got cold feet at the last minute and didn't make a move?"

"Brother, can you stop being so useless? Sister-in-law is such a wonderful person, how could you let her go? Not only is she the daughter of the Su Family, but she is also gentle, considerate, shrewd, and capable. If you miss out on a woman like this, you might never meet another one."

Lin Wei was like a little sparrow, chirping incessantly in front of Lin Feng, leaving him with no heart to eat.

"Xiao Wei, stop talking. I just had something come up that night and was delayed, that's all. There will definitely be more opportunities." Lin Feng said with a smile.

"Next time you have to be more mindful. You know, he who strikes first gains the advantage; he who strikes later suffers." Lin Wei said solemnly.

"Stop talking about me. Xiao Wei, do you have a boyfriend?" Lin Feng countered.

Lin Wei's pretty face instantly turned red, and she stomped her feet in annoyance: "We were clearly talking about your business, why are you dragging me into it?"

"Xiao Wei, you've reached this age too. Mom and Dad are no longer with us, so as your older brother, I naturally have to care about your life's major events." Lin Feng said jokingly.

"You aren't even married yet, what are you rushing for? Get your own family settled first." Lin Wei said, then glared at Lin Feng.

It was at this moment that Su Mingyue's call suddenly came through, and Lin Wei immediately asked: "Whose call is it?"

"Your future sister-in-law's." Lin Feng said.

"Then what are you waiting for? Pick it up!" Lin Wei urged hurriedly.

After finishing the call, Lin Feng put down his phone and said: "See, didn't the opportunity just come? Mingyue invited me to attend an auction. It probably won't end until very late, so I'll likely not be back tonight."

Lin Wei was overjoyed to hear this and hurriedly said: "Brother, you have to be bold tonight. When it's time to make a move, make it. Don't hesitate at all."

"Got it, got it."

As he spoke, Lin Feng stood up and went upstairs to change his clothes.

At 7:30 in the evening, Lin Feng and Su Mingyue got out of the car together and stood outside the main entrance of the Jinlong Trading Company in Jiangbei City.

This high-end auction tonight was being held on the top floor of the Jinlong Trading Company building, and the host was naturally the company itself.

"The Chairman of this company is Yang Jinlong, who is very familiar with my father. My invitation was sent to my father by his people." Su Mingyue said.

"Is there only one invitation?" Lin Feng asked.

"Don't worry, one invitation is enough. This is a VIP invitation, which allows bringing a partner to enter." Su Mingyue said with a smile, and even took out the exquisitely crafted invitation to show Lin Feng.

Suddenly, Su Mingyue looked at Lin Feng's pants pocket in confusion and asked: "Lin Feng, why is your pocket bulging? What did you put in there?"

"It's just a pack of chewing gum."

As Lin Feng said this, he took out the chewing gum, but the moment he pulled it out, he was stunned.

He saw several conspicuous large characters on the dark blue packaging box: Ultra-thin! Ultra-pleasure! Ultra-stimulation!

"You... you... you actually prepared so thoroughly?"

Su Mingyue's pretty face instantly turned red, and she said shyly: "However... it's fine even without preparing this stuff. I actually don't like scratching an itch through a boot."

Lin Feng's hands were trembling, and he was so angry he could explode.

Because this thing wasn't prepared by him at all; it was something Lin Wei had suddenly stuffed into his pocket when he was leaving.

At the time, when Lin Feng asked what she had stuffed in there, Lin Wei smiled and said it was chewing gum!

This couldn't be blamed on Lin Feng's carelessness; how could he have predicted that his own sister would backstab him!

This girl Lin Wei is truly becoming more and more in need of a lesson.

When I get home tonight—no, tomorrow morning—I must give her a sound spanking to let her taste the bamboo-strip barbecue she hasn't tasted in over a decade!

"Mingyue, don't misunderstand. My sister stuffed this into my pocket; I didn't know it was this thing." Lin Feng coughed awkwardly.

"Stop explaining. The auction is about to start, let's go in quickly."

As she spoke, Su Mingyue took Lin Feng's hand and they entered the lobby on the first floor of the Jinlong Trading Company together.

A female staff member wearing a light green cheongsam immediately came to meet them and asked with a smile: "May I ask if you are here to attend the auction? Please show your invitation."

Su Mingyue then took out the invitation, but the woman checked it over and over, then suddenly frowned and asked: "Miss, I don't mean to doubt you, but this invitation shouldn't be yours, right?"

"The invitation is my father's. He is quite busy, so I am attending this auction on his behalf." Su Mingyue explained.

"This... I'm sorry, I have to confirm this. After all, this is a VIP invitation, and we must be cautious." the female staff member said.

"I understand. Go ahead and confirm it." Su Mingyue was not angry; she knew this was the normal procedure.

However, to everyone's surprise, a young man wearing a silver-gray suit suddenly came down from upstairs and asked with an arrogant expression: "Xiao Li, what happened?"

The female staff member called Xiao Li immediately explained, and the man in the suit walked over in large strides and snatched the invitation from her hand.

"Since the invitation is not held by the person it was issued to, then you cannot enter. Do I still need to teach you such a simple principle?" the man in the suit said coldly.

"Who are you?" Su Mingyue asked displeased.

"I am the manager of Jinlong Trading Company, Chen Mingjie. Are you satisfied now? Are you going to say you want to report me? Go ahead." Chen Mingjie sneered, with an attitude of looking down on everyone.

Although Su Mingyue was very unhappy, she still patiently said: "This invitation is my father's. I am here to attend the auction in his place."

"That is just your side of the story. How do I know if what you said is true? What if this invitation was picked up or stolen by you?" Chen Mingjie countered.

"Then why don't you go and confirm it!" Su Mingyue said angrily.

"No need to confirm. There is no such necessity."

Chen Mingjie looked at Lin Feng with disdain, pointed at him and said: "Look at the suit this guy is wearing; it's obviously cheap street-market goods and doesn't even fit well! To dress like this and still want to impersonate a VIP to attend our auction, you really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"

"If we really let you sneak in, wouldn't our company be ridiculed by our peers and become a laughingstock?"

"The two of you, get out of here now! Our company does not welcome you!"

Su Mingyue gritted her teeth in anger, and Lin Feng was also feeling quite displeased at this moment.

Lin Feng had bought designer suits before, but he had fought with people several times, and no matter how good the suit was, it couldn't withstand the wear and tear.
