Chapter 146: Give Me Some Face

Ye Qinghan stood there proudly, like a noble white swan; countless female guests at the scene felt inferior when they saw her!

And the two women who had just been arguing fiercely were now all silenced.

"I didn't expect Miss Ye to be interested in this diamond bracelet as well. Since that's the case, I won't compete for it; after all, I must give Miss Ye some face," that Boss Liu said with a smile.

"Miss Ye is beautiful, and she matches this diamond bracelet very well," Boss Wang even started buttering her up.

Seeing this, Ye Qinghan nodded with great satisfaction, then looked at the female auctioneer on the stage and said, "I bid 35 million."

The price offered by Ye Qinghan immediately surpassed those two women, and no other female guest at the scene dared to bid to compete, so the female auctioneer Li Hongyu shouted out.

"The lady in seat 14 bids 35 million. Is there anyone higher than her? 35 million going once! 35 million going twice! 35 million going—"

Seeing that it was about to be sold, a smile curled at the corners of Ye Qinghan's mouth.

However, just at this moment, Lin Feng suddenly stood up, held up his bidding paddle, and said, "I bid 36 million."

And so, in this instant, everyone in the hall was stunned.

"Who is that guy, daring to go against Miss Ye!"

"What nerve!"

"Is he not afraid of Miss Ye's retaliation?"

"He's really looking to die!"

The guests in the hall whispered among themselves, and even sneered at Lin Feng.

And Ye Qinghan was currently looking at Lin Feng with a look of surprise: "You... you also want this diamond bracelet?"

"Mingyue wants it, so I have no choice but to bid. Qinghan, can you give me some face?" Lin Feng said with a smile.

Ye Qinghan immediately looked at Su Mingyue beside Lin Feng.

She saw that Su Mingyue's cheeks were so red they were almost dripping blood.

Looking at the shy and bashful Su Mingyue, a sour feeling actually arose in Ye Qinghan's heart, but after hesitating for a moment, she finally said, "Lin Feng, you have helped our family so much; since you've asked, how could I not agree? I give up on this diamond bracelet; I won't compete with you."

Having said that, Ye Qinghan sat down.

The guests at the scene were all about to turn to stone!

They had thought that since Lin Feng was going against Ye Qinghan, this eldest daughter of the Ye Family, he surely wouldn't have a good ending.

As it turned out, the two of them knew each other, and the one who backed down was actually Ye Qinghan!

This result greatly exceeded their expectations!

"So he is Lin Feng!"

"Who is Lin Feng?"

"He's the orphan of the Lin Family; he is now the fiancé of the Su Family's daughter, Su Mingyue!"

"Look, Miss Su is sitting right there; they came together!"

"Damn it, why didn't I notice just now!"

Lin Feng naturally heard the discussions of these guests, but he didn't care at all.

Lin Feng turned his head to look at the female auctioneer on the stage and said, "What are you still standing there for? Proceed with the process."

And so Li Hongyu hurriedly said, "The gentleman in seat 7 bids 36 million for the Shining Star. Is there anyone higher than him? Once the opportunity is missed, it won't come again; everyone, please cherish it!"

After asking several times in a row, no one offered a higher price.

Li Hongyu had no choice but to say loudly, "36 million going once! 36 million going twice! 36 million going three times! Sold!"

Lin Feng prepared to take out his bank card, but staff members had already gone up on stage and carried the Shining Star diamond bracelet to the backstage area.

It looked like the transaction wouldn't happen on the spot.

Lin Feng then sat down and asked curiously, "If the transaction isn't immediate after the sale, aren't they afraid I'll go back on my word and refuse to pay?"

Su Mingyue explained, "Even if you go back on your word and refuse to pay, they won't suffer any loss; at most, the transaction is voided, but your reputation will definitely be ruined, and you will be mocked by the upper-class circles."

"Moreover, most of the guests who came to attend this auction have paid a deposit, which should be one million. If you go back on your word and refuse to pay, they won't return the deposit."

Lin Feng asked again, "Then did you pay a deposit too?"

"I didn't; we are VIPs, and the treatment for VIPs is still different from that of ordinary guests," Su Mingyue said with a smile.

"So that's how it is." Lin Feng suddenly understood.

Su Mingyue asked, "Lin Feng, is this your first time attending an auction?"

"I really don't have much experience in this regard," Lin Feng said.

While they were talking, the second auction item appeared on stage.

This auction item was a piece of calligraphy and painting, passed down from the Ming Dynasty; it was both a work of art and an antique.

But compared to the Shining Star, it was far inferior, with a starting price of only five million.

Neither Lin Feng nor Su Mingyue had any interest in antique calligraphy and painting, so they did not bid, and instead watched the wonderful performance of the guests present with great interest.

Suddenly, Lin Feng turned his head sharply to look in a certain direction.

Su Mingyue was startled and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I just suddenly felt like someone has been staring at me," Lin Feng said.

"Did you find any suspicious person? It wouldn't be a killer again, would it?" Su Mingyue asked hurriedly.

The matter of Zhao Ziyang hiring a killer to assassinate Lin Feng had already left a psychological shadow on Su Mingyue, and she didn't want to experience it again.

"No," Lin Feng shook his head.

Su Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Maybe it was just an illusion."

"You're right, maybe I was being overly vigilant," Lin Feng nodded and said.

But was it really an illusion for Lin Feng?

In the corner of the auction hall, a man and a woman were sitting.

That man looked handsome and dashing, dressed in a white suit, and was styled like a Prince Charming.

The woman was dressed in ordinary, common sportswear, looking clean and fresh.

"Just now, that Lin Feng glanced over this way; it seems he has already sensed us spying on him," the man said.

"His sensory ability is too sharp," the woman frowned slightly, the expression on her face not looking very good.

The man said again, "It could also be a coincidence."

"I don't think so; for a guy like Lin Feng to be able to carve out a path for himself in Jiangbei, he must have some real skills," the woman said seriously.

"It's a pity we still don't know his strength," the man sighed slightly.

"I'm a bit regretful now that I helped Senior Sister Han; we really shouldn't have gotten involved in this muddy water for her sake," the woman said.

"Let's put dealing with Lin Feng aside for now and finish the matter at hand first. Senior Sister Han gave us sixty million to bid on a Dharma Treasure, and this matter must be done well," the man said.

"How did Senior Sister Han know that a Dharma Treasure would appear at this auction?" the woman asked with some confusion.

The man shook his head and said, "How would I know? But no matter what, Senior Sister Han is the eldest daughter of the Jinling Han Family, and she is the actual person in control of the Han Family; it is perfectly normal for her to have very deep connections and to have inquired about inside information through some special channels."
