Chapter 293: Just the Feng Family
He looked at Lin Yang, coldly smiling as he spoke.
"If I lose, I'll leave it to you to handle!"
Lin Yang said: "If you lose, just strip off your clothes and run home."
Feng Tang heard this and his face darkened.
"You're really ruthless!"
"But I agree to your terms, because I cannot possibly lose!"
Lin Yang looked at him and said.
"How should we compare? Directly compare bank card balances?"
Feng Tang gave a dismissive smile and said.
"That would be boring; tonight is a charity gala, so we'll compare who does more charity!"
He was very confident; tonight his family produced fifty million to let him join the charity gala.
To them wealthy people, this charity gala is just about gaining a reputation.
Someone like Lin Yang, at a glance, is not someone who could produce fifty million.
He looked at Lin Yang smugly and asked.
"How about it, are you scared?"
"Scared?"
Lin Yang nodded and said: "Sure."
Feng Tang snorted triumphantly and turned to leave.
After he left, Wu Shiya said with a worried expression.
"Lin Yang, you're acting impulsively!"
"The Feng family has plenty of money, and I heard they're cooperating with a mysterious person to sell Longevity Elixir again!"
"The Feng family are major magnates of Jinling!"
"Selling Longevity Elixir?"
That actually caught Lin Yang off guard.
It seems the spokesperson Xiao Fangfang arranged in the southwest was actually the Feng family.
In that case, the Feng family could be considered half-working for me.
He thought, is this not a bit bad?
Dealing with one's own subordinates.
Seeing Lin Yang lost in thought, Wu Shiya thought he was scared.
She sighed and said to Lin Yang.
"It's all my fault; I should have stopped you earlier!"
Feng Tang, standing not far away, heard this and curled the corner of his mouth.
Since Wu Shiya said that, Lin Yang is surely going to lose.
Thinking of this, he was very pleased.
Not long after, the charity gala officially began.
There was a dedicated auctioneer auctioning items on stage.
It started with jade, pearls, jadeite and such.
Feng Tang had made several bids, spending roughly a few million.
He looked smugly at the calm Lin Yang.
"Are you scared?"
"If you now admit defeat, kneel on the ground and apologize, I can let you stay in Jinling!"
Lin Yang ignored him and instead looked at the auction stage.
He sensed that among the items just brought out, there was a fluctuation of spiritual energy.
"This is a Bodhi bead over a hundred years old, rumored to have been blessed by an eminent monk."
"Wearing it has the effect of warding off evil and avoiding misfortune."
"Ladies and gentlemen, please place your bids."
Lin Yang narrowed his eyes; this Bodhi bead would benefit his cultivation, and he must obtain it.
At this point, many people placed bids.
The price was raised all the way to six million.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I want this string of Bodhi beads; I bid eight million, hoping you'll give me face."
A youth wearing white cloth robes chuckled and spoke.
Seeing him, many bosses changed expression.
"It's the White-robed Li Xuancen of the Association!"
"I didn't expect him to make a move!"
Hearing everyone's discussion, Li Xuancen smiled triumphantly.
He clasped his fists and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you'll give me face."
"I, Li Xuancen, am deeply grateful!"
Upon hearing this, everyone hesitated.
This Li Xuancen is the heaven's pride of the Xuánmén (Mysterious Gate) Association.
To offend him over a string of Bodhi beads seems not worthwhile.
When everyone was calculating, someone spoke up.
"I bid ten million."
Everyone was startled and turned their gaze over.
They saw Lin Yang looking at the crowd without changing his expression.
Hearing that, Li Xuánchen's face turned somewhat ugly.
I had thought that after announcing my name, no one would contend with me.
I never expected that someone would still contend with me!
Could it be that someone truly doesn't care about the Xuánmén (Mysterious Gate) Association?
"I bid thirteen million!"
The sudden voice made everyone look over.
They saw Feng Tang with his hands behind his back, full of arrogance.
Seeing everyone looking over, he proudly said.
"I originally didn't want to contend with Brother Xuánchen, but outsiders have jumped out to provoke us Jinling people!"
"If I don't make a move, others will think we Jinling are poor!"
It must be said, Feng Tang is very clever.
Right from the start, he raised a big flag for himself.
He framed this deal as Jinling people versus outsiders.
Even Li Xuánchen couldn't say anything.
Lin Yang listened to his words and decisively said.
"Thirty million."
This directly more than doubled it, causing many to suck in a breath of cold air.
Whether it was Li Xuánchen or Feng Tang, their faces turned ugly.
Lin Yang looked at Feng Tang without changing his expression.
"Still bidding?"
Feng Tang gritted his teeth and said.
"Thirty-one million!"
"Fifty million!"
At this moment, everyone was shocked.
As soon as he made a move, he added nearly twenty million more!
Everyone began to discuss what Lin Yang's background really was.
Wu Shiya beside him felt somewhat anxious inside.
She feared that Lin Yang was saying this deliberately out of spite.
Lin Yang then turned his gaze toward Feng Tang and said.
"Fifty million is my limit; if you keep bidding, this thing will be yours."
Lin Yang laid his cards on the table against Feng Tang, making Feng Tang's face even uglier.
This is tantamount to looking down on him—aren't you very rich?
Now, with an extra hundred, this thing is yours.
But can you come up with it?
Feng Tang's face was ugly; each time he raised his hand, he lowered it again.
Seeing this, some people whispered boos.
The esteemed young master of the Feng Family was actually outdone by an outsider.
Just as he finished speaking, a tall girl in a white shirt and white canvas shoes, head down, hands shielding her face, came running over with small quick steps.
Seeing the girl, Nannan smiled and walked under the eaves.
"Nannan is here waiting for Mom again; let's go home."
Hearing that familiar voice, Ye Fei froze and involuntarily turned his head.
"It's raining; I have an umbrella you can take back."
Luo Xin had wanted to refuse, but seeing the rain growing heavier, she could only turn and take the umbrella.
"Thanks."
That turn left both Ye Fei and Luo Xin stunned.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Luo Xin's pupils shrank; she spoke with three parts fear and seven parts hatred, gritting her teeth.
"It's you!"
In this familiar place, she encountered the person she feared most and also hated the most.
It was he who shattered her life, turning her from a heavenly beauty into an ordinary person.
The Luo family felt she had brought shame upon them; the school expelled her, destroying her future and dreams.
And the culprit behind all this, she thought she would never see him again in this lifetime, never expecting to meet him today.
Looking at Luo Xin's gaze, Ye Fei didn't know how to speak for a moment.
He lowered his head to look at himself hiding behind Luo Xin, at his own Nannan, and then recalled what she had said before.
Ye Fei said in a low voice: "Sorry, it was I who hurt you back then; please give me a chance to make amends, and give Nannan a home."
Nannan, hiding behind Luo Xin, blinked her eyes, looked at Ye Fei, and asked in a childish voice.
