Chapter 71: Poor Taste
Lu Beichen frowned: "Miss Shen is my honored guest, Mr. Shen, please be careful with your words."
Shen Changfeng sneered: "I know better than you what kind of person she is, just don't regret it."
The atmosphere between the two was somewhat tense.
Shen Wan said indifferently: "Young Master Shen, if you don't speak to me, no one will know the relationship between you and me."
"You stuck to me like a dog-skin plaster, and now you blame me for affecting your reputation?"
"I didn't expect that you like to be as cheap as Shen Yunyi."
Shen Changfeng didn't expect that she would actually talk to him in this way, and his face turned gloomy and ugly on the spot, "You——"
Shen Wan shrugged and said with a smile: "If Young Master Shen continues to talk to me, others will start to doubt you, and then you will be the one who loses face. Anyway, I don't care."
Seeing that others were indeed paying attention to this side, Shen Changfeng had to lower his voice: "Okay, Shen Wan, with Lu Beichen backing you up, your wings are really strong."
"Today is a charity auction. All the people present are celebrities and dignitaries. No one can go home empty-handed."
“Chen Wan, I’ll just see how much money you can donate out of your pride.”
After Shen Changfeng finished speaking, he turned and walked to the other side of the gallery, no longer paying attention to her.
Lu Beichen whispered, "Master Shen, don't take his words to heart. As long as it's something you like, I can get it for you within eight figures."
"Don't worry, I'll pay for it."
"Thank you then." Shen Wan smiled slightly.
Afterwards, under the arrangement of the concierge, Shen Wan and Lu Beichen sat in the C position in the first row.
Shen Changfeng was also in the first row, three seats away from her.
Shen Changfeng looked coldly at Shen Wan who was sitting in the C position, looking calm and unhurried.
He frowned, feeling a little surprised.
Chen Wan has always rejected such elegant occasions. She is self-aware and knows that she is incompatible with such occasions.
Every time there was a party at home or she had to attend a dinner party, she would always shake her head and refuse, frantically making excuses not to go.
However, now looking at her sitting there, calm and composed, Shen Changfeng found it very strange.
There is a glass display table in the center of the gallery, and every collection will be displayed and auctioned by guests, and all the proceeds will be donated.
Lu Beichen handed her a sign with number 001 written on it.
Shen Changfeng saw it and snorted coldly: "A pheasant wants to become a phoenix, wishful thinking!"
Lu Beichen's eyes darkened, and he wanted to stand up and kick the man out.
Shen Wan said calmly: "It's okay, it's just a dog barking."
Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for Shen Changfeng, who was three seats away, to hear.
Shen Changfeng's expression became even uglier. If it weren't for the fact that everyone present was a noble and influential person, he would have taught her a lesson long ago.
As a younger sister, she actually dared to say that her elder brother was barking like a dog.
Too much!
The auction time has expired.
The host came on stage, picked up the microphone and began to introduce the first lot.
"The Angel Wing Brooch is inlaid with precious gemstones and diamonds, and looks like a dream. The starting price is 8 million, and the single bid starts at 1 million. The auction begins."
Soon a boss held up a sign: "I want it, 10 million!"
"I'll give you 11 million!"
Chen Wan had no interest in jewelry and flipped through the auction brochure aimlessly.
Lu Beichen originally thought that she would like shiny things, so he wanted to buy one for her.
It turned out that she was not interested at all.
Several collections were uploaded one after another, all of which were jewelry.
Later on, there will be auctions of famous antique paintings and artifacts.
Lu Beichen bought a famous painting for 25 million.
Not to be outdone, Shen Changfeng spent 28 million to bid for an antique vase.
It's halftime.
Shen Changfeng came uninvited again, looking at Shen Wan, who had nothing in his hands and didn't take any pictures, with a mocking look on his face.
"This is not an ordinary auction, it's a charity auction. You came empty-handed and left empty-handed. Don't you feel ashamed?"
Lu Beichen was a little angry: "Boss Shen, don't jump to conclusions too early. I will donate the famous paintings I just photographed in the name of Miss Shen, so that she will not be left empty-handed."
Shen Changfeng ignored him and looked at Shen Wan with sarcasm.
"This isn't the place you should be at, Chen Wan, why do you have to humiliate yourself?"
"Before the auction ends, you still have time to escape with your tail between your legs."
Lu Beichen was really angry: "Boss Shen, Miss Shen is your sister after all, is it necessary for you to speak so harshly?"
Shen Changfeng sneered: "People do what they do. This kind of occasion is not what she should come to."
"Mr. Lu, you shouldn't have brought her in from the beginning. Look for yourself, everyone present is a celebrity."
"And what about Shen Wan?"
"She is just a peasant from the mountains. Does she understand the meaning of charity?"
"Does she have the money to buy the things here? I'm afraid she can't even afford the cheapest things."
Shen Changfeng sneered: "No, I still overestimated her. Let alone one million, even if I asked her to take out ten thousand, she couldn't come up with it."
"A poor and mean person like this shouldn't be here in the first place!"
"I'm her brother, I understand her."
Shen Wan was amused by his words.
"Mr. Shen, did I hear you right?"
"Who are you to me?"
The corner of Shen Changfeng's mouth twitched slightly, and he deliberately lowered the volume so that only the two of them could hear it.
"Whether you admit it or not, I am still your big brother in name only."
"I'll give you the car keys. Go to my car first. I'll talk to you after the auction is over."
He just took out his car keys.
Shen Wan directly pushed his hand away, with an indifferent look on his face: "The auction is not over yet, Mr. Shen, don't jump to conclusions."
"You are not my big brother. I don't have a big brother like this who would trample his own sister into the mud."
"Also, I have never felt that giving charity requires competition. If charity is done with a purpose and a price tag like Young Master Shen's, you will not be able to accumulate good karma."
“People without money donate less, does that mean it’s not considered charity if the amount is small?”
Shen Changfeng's face changed, "I obviously didn't mean that, you deliberately misinterpreted it."
Shen Wan smiled faintly and said, "Now that I'm here, I'll donate whatever I can, so you don't have to worry about it, Mr. Shen."
Shen Changfeng stared at her up and down, with a hint of sarcasm on his stern face: "Okay, then I'll see how much money you want to borrow to donate!"
“Chen Wan, if you have the ability, don’t ask others for help, just donate with your own ability.”
Lu Beichen knew that he was implying something, and just as he was about to speak, Shen Wan spoke first.
"Well, I will use the money I earn with my own ability to donate to charity."
She came out of the Shen family alone, and now every penny she has is earned by herself.
