Chapter 465: Broken Defense Again
Now, everyone present more or less smelled some tension. Thinking about the bidding process of the two jade bracelets just now, could it be that Mrs. Li and Miss Shen have a grudge against each other?
Shen Jingjing realized it belatedly. She looked at her daughter in confusion but said nothing.
However, Shen Ci always had a smile on his face, as if he was enjoying it.
She immediately quoted a price, raised her sign and said, "Three hundred yuan!"
After she finished speaking, she gave Mrs. Li a straight look. Seeing that she was looking at her, Shen Ci's smile showed provocation, and she raised her eyebrows slightly.
Having dealt with Li Xiao's mother a lot, Shen Ci had some understanding of her. She had the aura of a wealthy lady, but she was very narrow-minded. Her biggest shortcoming was her bad temper and impatience.
She has evil intentions but despicable means. I think she was spoiled in a wealthy and comfortable environment since she was a child. When she was young, she was a spoiled noble lady. Now that she is old, her bad habits still remain.
For such a person, she hardly needs to use any brains to teach her a lesson. She can make her suffer a loss with just a little trick!
As expected, seeing Shen Ci’s provocative smile, Mrs. Li was furious and raised her sign to continue raising the price: “Three hundred and two!”
Everyone was watching with great interest, but Chen Ci slowly put down the sign and stopped bidding.
"Boss Su, this vinyl record is overpriced again, right?"
Boss Su smiled and said, "More than that, it's more than double the price. If the other party hadn't continued to bid, Miss Shen would have lost a lot of money."
Shen Ci's smile widened, and it was obvious that this result was exactly what she wanted.
So for the subsequent lots, Shen Ci would wait until no one else continued to bid before starting to bid, and then Mrs. Li would follow suit.
Whatever Shen Ci wanted, she would deliberately disgust her.
As a result, Mrs. Li won every item at a super high premium.
How could anyone with a discerning eye not see that Shen Ci was deliberately raising the price? As a result, Mrs. Li was too obsessed and followed the price without thinking every time!
Li Wanchang's face turned pale. He was not short of money, but his wife's behavior was really stupid.
As everyone's attention was focused on his wife, he couldn't say much to stop them. He could only applaud with a fake smile on his face, pretending that his wife really liked these things.
The result was that both the husband and wife became clowns, and were trapped by Chen Ci and could not move forward or backward.
In the end, Mrs. Li won six out of ten lots, becoming the biggest "winner" of the auction and donating nearly three thousand yuan to the charity foundation with her own efforts.
"absurd!"
After the auction, Li Wanchang finally had the chance to scold his wife. His face flushed, his head pounded, and his blood pressure soared. "Do you know what you just did? Can't you see she was deliberately provoking you?"
"I just don't want her to get what she wants." Mrs. Li said gritting her teeth, her eyes filled with pure hatred.
"As you wish?" Li Wanchang laughed in anger. "You're really smart. You've already given them what they wanted. Calculate the cost of these things yourself. How much extra money did you spend?"
"That Chen Ci just moved his lips and made you spend nearly three thousand dollars. Only you didn't see it. Who among the people present couldn't see the clue? The two of us are a joke today!"
After hearing what Li Wanchang said, Mrs. Li's mind began to turn a corner.
"she……"
"Uncle Li, Auntie." At this time, Chen Ci suddenly came over, and the two of them were so frightened that they quickly fell silent.
Mrs. Li looked at her with hatred and said in a bad tone: "Chen Ci, did you just..."
"Yes." Before the other party could finish speaking, Shen Ci nodded in agreement.
The expression on her face was too glaring. Her eyes were smiling, but that smile was full of mockery. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised with contempt and disdain. Her face showed the arrogance and satisfaction of success.
"Congratulations, Auntie. You're still so clean and sweeping the floor with your face again."
Shen Ci said gently, and these few simple words instantly ignited Mrs. Li's irritable personality. She was about to pounce on him: "You little bitch..."
Li Wanchang and Su Zheyuan beside Shen Ci moved at the same time.
Li Wanchang grabbed his wife with one hand and covered her mouth with his other. He glared at her and growled, "That's enough. What kind of occasion is this today? Aren't you embarrassed enough?"
Su Zheyuan stood in front of Shen Ci, and as a man, his subconscious action was to protect the girl.
"Chen Ci, your Aunt Li lost her temper today. Don't argue with her, but don't provoke her anymore." Li Wanchang turned his head slightly and said to Chen Ci. He was naturally angry with Chen Ci in his heart, but he was patient enough and knew the situation.
What's more, Shen Ci's current identity and background made him a little wary, and he might not be able to afford to offend him.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ci nodded gently and kindly reminded, "I'd like to advise Uncle Li not to bring Aunt to such occasions in the future. You might run into me every time in the future. If her emotions are so unstable, I'm afraid she'll cause trouble sooner or later."
"I understand." Li Wanchang responded happily.
Mrs. Li's eyes were bloodshot, and she wished she could grind Chen Ci into ashes with her eyes.
Shen Ci laughed wantonly, but did not say anything more. He patted Su Zheyuan's shoulder, and the expression on his face changed instantly, revealing a look of gratitude: "Let's go, Boss Su, you can go home after donating the full amount."
Su Zheyuan nodded, stretched hard, and said with a lingering feeling: "Today is really wonderful, we will be together next time."
As they talked, they walked towards the donation area.
"Miss Shen Ci, right? How much would you like to donate?"
The staff asked with a kind smile, the last part of the charity dinner is free donation, the amount is not fixed, it all depends on your own wishes.
However, the details of the donations will be made public, so everyone’s donations will not be small, and basically start from 100 yuan.
Shen Ci smiled slightly and blurted out: “I will donate 10,000.”
The staff member was shocked, and everyone around who heard this was also shocked.
"Mr. Duo?" Su Zheyuan exclaimed, "Ten thousand?"
Even people not far away heard the shout and came over subconsciously.
Shen Ci nodded calmly: "Ten thousand, in my mother's name."
Money is just a number to her. With the amount of pension she receives every month, she can afford to lose everything she does.
What's more, she has never lost money in any of her current investments, so she doesn't care about money even more.
Fate has been kind to her, so she is willing to respond with the world's greatest kindness, as a way to create good karma and accumulate good results for her family.
Su Zheyuan couldn't help but whispered: "Miss Shen, I'm right behind you, it's very difficult for me to deal with you like this!"
The chapters about charity activities are mainly intended to bring some lighthearted and joyful plots to everyone, and to introduce Mr. Fei, a key figure in the later period.
But it is really tiring to write. I have almost used up all my brain cells in that idiom filling-in-the-blank game. I hope you will like the contents of these chapters. My purpose is to make you enjoy reading them.
Su Zheyuan's image has also been established in these chapters. In the later period, he will also be the happy pill beside Chen Ci, and his role will be relatively more among the male characters.
Because most of Chen Ci's friends are women, I have always wanted to write a character who is a conspicuous male best friend. I hope everyone likes Boss Su.
