Chapter 78: Treasure Pavilion Auction

~7 min read 1,365 words

As soon as Ma Lan heard that a bracelet was given and it was worth five or six million, her eyes lit up!

"Bracelet? Where is it? Take it out and let me see!"

Ye Chen was vigilant in his heart and said: "Mom, the bracelet is in the bedroom, but I intend to return it."

"Return it?" Ma Lan couldn't help frowning: "Are you sick in the head? Five or six million things to return?"

Ye Chen said: "I just helped someone with a small favor, and they sent such a valuable thing, it's not appropriate."

"What's appropriate or not!" Ma Lan blurted out: "If he dares to send it, we dare to take it! Where is the bracelet? If you don't dare to take it, I will!"

Ye Chen knew that this mother-in-law didn't have any good intentions. The bracelet was actually prepared for Xiao Churan, but he hadn't found a suitable reason to tell her, so he shelved it for the time being.

Unexpectedly, his father-in-law was fast-mouthed and shook it out all at once.

It wasn't that Ye Chen was reluctant to part with a bracelet worth several million. After all, he had nearly ten billion in his card, what kind of bracelet couldn't he buy?

But the key was that he felt that his mother-in-law really didn't deserve to wear such valuable things. With her shrew temper and small-citizen personality of loving to take advantage of small things, wearing a bracelet worth twenty or thirty thousand was already very worthy of her.

However, mother-in-law Ma Lan didn't want to miss the opportunity now.

A bracelet worth five or six million, how much face would it be to wear it out?

So she urged repeatedly: "Where is the bracelet? Take it out and let me see!"

Xiao Churan on the side also knew that if this bracelet was really taken out and fell into her mother's hands, it wouldn't be able to be taken back.

So she also said: "Mom, since it's something prepared to be returned to others, let's not take it out to see. In case it's bumped, touched, or dropped, it's not easy to explain to others."

"Really returning it?" Ma Lan was anxious, stood up and scolded: "Are your brains kicked by a donkey?"

Xiao Churan also knew Xiao Churan's temper. If she insisted on returning it, she really couldn't stop it.

Thinking that a good thing worth several million was going to be returned, she immediately felt heartache and cried, saying: "It's enough to have a son-in-law who has no prospects, but my daughter is not on the same side as me. I might as well die!"

Xiao Churan picked up a piece of meat for her mother and said: "Okay Mom, I'll buy you a bracelet later."

"This is what you said!"

Auction day.

Ye Chen had just come out of the room and arrived at the living room early in the morning. Xiao Changkun was already waiting impatiently. Seeing him come out, he greeted him excitedly.

"Ye Chen, let's go quickly, don't be late."

Knowing that he could go to the auction, Xiao Changkun didn't sleep well all night and had been waiting here for a long time. Seeing Ye Chen come out, he immediately pulled him and left.

Treasure Pavilion is a cultural relic association spontaneously organized by a group of cultural relic enthusiasts in Jin Ling, with its headquarters in a manor in the scenic area on the outskirts of the city.

The president of the association has a great background. It is said that he is a real estate tycoon in the province, loves cultural relics, and took the lead in investing one hundred million to gather a group of business people who also love cultural relics to form "Treasure Pavilion".

Ye Chen and Xiao Changkun arrived at the gate of the Treasure Pavilion manor, parked the car, got off, and looked around.

The surrounding scenery was indeed unique and quiet, with a noble air, and the luxury cars parked outside the door were all Porsches at the worst.

And the 5-series BMW Ye Chen drove was like a pheasant that fell into a phoenix nest, which was particularly eye-catching.

The father-in-law got off the car and walked in.

Xiao Changkun was abnormally excited. This was his first time coming to such a high-end occasion, and he kept looking around, but he was still a bit afraid and couldn't let go.

At the entrance of the venue, Xiao Changkun showed the invitation letter a bit nervously.

He was a little worried in his heart whether the two invitation letters Ye Chen got were fake?

However, the security guard at the door verified it immediately and said respectfully to the two: "Two, please come in!"

Xiao Changkun was relieved and walked in with Ye Chen.

As soon as the two entered the venue, Xiao Hailong, dressed in a suit, also followed and walked in swaggeringly.

As soon as he walked in, Xiao Hailong frowned, and his face flashed with shock.

Ye Chen and Xiao Changkun were actually here too!

What are these two losers doing here? The whole Xiao family only had one invitation letter, and it was in his hand now. Could it be that these two losers wanted to sneak in?

Thinking of the loss he had suffered in Ye Chen's hands before, Xiao Hailong walked up angrily and shouted: "Ye Chen, how did you get in? Do you

Thinking of the losses he had suffered at Ye Chen's hands before, Xiao Hailong strode forward in a rage and barked, "Ye Chen, how did you get in? Do you know what kind of place this is?"

Ye Chen suddenly heard Xiao Hailong's duck-like voice and couldn't help but frown.

When Xiao Changkun saw Xiao Hailong, he smiled triumphantly, "Oh, Hailong, you're here too."

Xiao Hailong not only looked down on Ye Chen, but also looked down on his second uncle, Xiao Changkun, so he frowned and asked him, "What are you doing here? Do you have an invitation?"

"Of course we do!" Xiao Changkun blurted out.

Xiao Hailong asked aggressively, "You two can actually get an invitation? Where did you get it?"

Ye Chen glanced at him and said indifferently, "Xiao Hailong, where we got our invitation from is none of your business."

Xiao Hailong sneered, "With you two stinking losers, how could you possibly get an invitation from the Song family? I think you must have stolen someone else's invitation to sneak in, right?"

"You're sick." Ye Chen couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him at all, turned his head, and said nothing.

This dismissive attitude of his, however, made Xiao Hailong even more furious.

In his eyes, Ye Chen was just a spineless loser who had no status at all in the Xiao family; he was a lower-class person!

And now, Ye Chen could actually come to the Treasure Pavilion, which made Xiao Hailong feel very insulted!

A lower-class person who lived off a woman, why should he be allowed to stand side-by-side with him here?

Xiao Hailong glared at Ye Chen, pointed at his nose, and said, "Speak, how did you two sneak in?"

Ye Chen frowned and said to Xiao Changkun, "Dad, don't pay attention to this brain-damaged person. Let's go, don't bother with him."

"Stop!"

Xiao Hailong stepped forward, deliberately blocking his path, and looked at him with a provocative sneer, "Still want to run? You're feeling guilty, aren't you? You must have used some shameful means to sneak in! You have no right to enter such a high-end occasion! Let me see your invitation!"

Ye Chen was also angry. Even though he had been patient at every step, he could not let the other party provoke him repeatedly.

He said coldly, "Look at my invitation? You're not worthy! Get lost!"

Xiao Hailong's brows furrowed, and a wave of anger rushed to his head.

In his eyes, Ye Chen had always been a spineless coward, yet he actually dared to tell him to get lost!

Xiao Hailong grabbed at Ye Chen's arm and sneered, "You're not going anywhere today until you explain yourself clearly."
