Chapter 1211: A gentleman should perfect the beauty of others

~8 min read 1,416 words

Chen Zekai didn't expect that Ye Chen, who had been waiting for a long time and was determined to get the old house, would give up just like that.

He couldn't help but worry for Ye Chen and blurted out, "Young Master, you have wanted to buy this house for so long. Now that you are only one step away, you must not give up! Otherwise, if you regret it in the future, there will be no medicine for regret..."

Ye Chen sighed and waved his hand, saying seriously, "No, no. Now it seems that this Aunt Du needs this house more than I do."

Saying that, Ye Chen sighed softly, "This is the old house where I lived with my parents, but I don't have the courage to stand out and participate in the bidding in person. On the contrary, this Aunt Du can sit outside and bid openly. From this point alone, she is much stronger than me and more qualified to get this house."

Ye Chen admired Du Haiqing from the bottom of his heart.

Now, most people don't know that he is the young master of the Ye family, don't know that he is the bloodline left by Ye Changying in this world, so out of caution, he didn't publicly participate in this auction, and even signed up in the name of Chen Zekai's driver.

From this point alone, he admired Du Haiqing's courage.

As the saying goes, a gentleman should perfect the beauty of others, so Ye Chen decided to give up the competition and let this house to Du Haiqing.

Although he didn't know Du Haiqing, he also knew that Du Haiqing had loved his father deeply for many years, but she hadn't been able to get any substantial results.

Perhaps this house could give her some comfort for the thirty-odd years she had loved his father.

This could also be considered his thanks to her for her feelings for so many years on behalf of his deceased father.

At this time, the bidding outside was still continuing.

Chen Zekai's driver hadn't received the instruction to give up. After Du Haiqing called 60 million, he raised his hand again and called out the price of 61 million.

Ye Chen recalled the old house in his mind, sighed deeply, stood up and said to Chen Zekai, "Tell your driver not to bid anymore."

After speaking, he put on his mask and turned to leave the box.

Meanwhile, Du Haiqing raised her card again without hesitation and said, "62 million!"

Seeing this, Chen Zekai hurriedly chased after him, and while walking quickly, he hurriedly sent a voice message to the driver, "Give up the bidding, don't bid anymore!"

His driver had just raised his hand when he suddenly received the message. He hurriedly clicked to play, and the speaker played what Chen Zekai had just said, so he immediately put down his hand that had already been raised.

The auctioneer was already a bit incoherent with excitement. Seeing him raise his hand and then put it down, he hurriedly asked, "Bidder No. 22, are you bidding or not?"

The driver said, "I give up."

Hearing these three words, a burst of joy suddenly surged in Du Haiqing's heart, and a big stone finally fell to the ground.

Immediately after, the auctioneer said loudly, "62 million once! 62 million twice! 62 million three times! Sold!"

Subsequently, the auction gavel in his hand knocked heavily on the table.

With this "thud", Du Haiqing burst into tears of joy instantly.

For the past few days, she had been unable to sleep or eat because of this residence, determined to buy it, yet worried that some unexpected trouble might arise.

Now, it was finally settled.

Although the price far exceeded the original value of the house, for Du Haiqing, this house was priceless.

From her youthful and ignorant years, she fell in love with Ye Changying, and until Ye Changying married and passed away, her love for Ye Changying had never faded even a bit.

Thirty-odd years had passed, and apart from some old photos, Ye Changying had left her nothing but indelible memories.

Let alone leaving any tokens of remembrance for her, even going to worship at Ye Changying's grave was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Now, she had finally bought the old house where he once lived, and the feelings she had for him for more than thirty years finally had a place to rest.

Seeing her mother in tears, Su Zhiyu felt a mix of flavors in her heart.

She felt sorry for her mother's infatuation for so many years, and also sympathized with her father for trusting the wrong person all these years.

However, thinking of her father's physical infidelity and having an illegitimate daughter only one year younger than herself, she felt that her father didn't deserve sympathy.

Immediately after, she thought of her benefactor.

Looking at her mother's infatuation for a lifetime, she couldn't help but ask herself in her heart, "Su Zhiyu, Su Zhiyu, if you can't find your benefactor, will you be like Mom and get stuck for a lifetime? If that's the case, you are not as lucky as Mom. At least she knew that Ye Changying and grew up with him, and had many common experiences and pasts. You don't even know what your benefactor, whom you are thinking of, is called..."

At this very moment, at the back door of Treasure Pavilion, Ye Chen, wearing a mask, walked out of the passage quickly.

Out of the door, he looked up at the somewhat gloomy sky, his eyes already filled with tears.

Since his parents passed away when he was eight years old, Ye Chen, like Du Haiqing, had nowhere to place his feelings for his parents all these years.

He was even worse than Du Haiqing, because Du Haiqing at least had some old photos, but Ye Chen couldn't even save a single photo of his parents.

After the accident with his parents, along with their bodies and all the items in the old house, they were all air-shipped to Yanjing in a very short time. Ye Chen was equivalent to entering the welfare home in just one set of clothes. From that moment on, he lost almost all items that could be used to cherish his memory.

For all these years before Gu Yanzhong took him to Ye Ling Mountain to worship his parents, he didn't even know where his parents were buried.

So, this house carried all his longing for his parents.

Just a minute ago, Ye Chen was also determined to get this house.

He even felt that even if he spent hundreds of millions, or even several hundred million, he must buy this house.

However, just at that moment, he suddenly decided to fulfill Du Haiqing.

Now, he didn't regret his decision, he just felt a bit desolate and sad for losing this house.

Chen Zekai chased out, and seeing Ye Chen's eyes filled with tears, he was shocked!

Having known Ye Chen for so long, this was the first time he saw Ye Chen with tears in his eyes.

He couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "Is this still the Master Ye that countless people respect? Is this still the Master Ye who buried the Eight Great Heavenly Kings of the Wu family with a thunderbolt under Changbai Mountain and walked out of the avalanche facing the rising sun? At this moment, he is like a child who can't find his way home, painful and helpless."

At this moment, while Chen Zekai felt sorry for his young master, he also had a bit more respect for him.

Ye Chen was not just enduring the pain of giving up love, he was leaving all the regrets to himself and leaving the psychological redemption and rebirth to Du Haiqing.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, stepped forward, and asked in a low voice, "Young Master, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Ye Chen waved his hand, forcibly holding back his tears, and said, "Old Chen... drive me to the old house to take a look. Since Aunt Du still has to stay to handle some procedures, I want to go over and take a few more looks. After she finishes the handover, it won't be so easy to see it again."

Chen Zekai said hurriedly, "Okay Young Master, please wait a moment, I'll go drive!" ===== CHAPTER 1212 =====
