Chapter 73: Pretending to be rich
It's just right to spend his money and take a photo for him.
The host asked loudly, "Mysterious ancient jade, priced at 600 million, is there any VIP who wants to bid?"
As if he had caught something, Shen Changfeng stood up and said loudly, "Boss Lu, isn't this Miss Shen you brought here to be photographed?"
"If she has the ability to take a picture of this mysterious ancient jade, I, Shen Changfeng, will call her sister in public!"
Lu Beichen's face was cold and tense: "Boss Shen, please forgive others when you can!"
Shen Changfeng sneered, "She said she would rely on her own abilities to do charity. Now you know what it feels like to be rich and powerful, right?"
Others were talking about it.
"Which fool is willing to donate 600 million?"
"That's right. Money is hard to make these days. If it weren't for the fact that I can deduct part of my tax from charity, I wouldn't be willing to donate a large sum of money every year. It hurts!"
"I heard that this girl is Shen Changfeng's adopted sister, and the adopted daughter of the Shen family a year ago."
"For an adopted girl from the countryside, it is a great blessing for her to be able to see the world at such an occasion."
"Six hundred million? Even if the richest man like Shen Huaian came, he wouldn't be willing to pay."
"Shen Changfeng let her go from the beginning. She wanted to stay. It's really embarrassing now."
"What's there to be ashamed of? An adopted daughter is an adopted daughter, not the real daughter of the Shen family. She is the one who is embarrassed."
Listening to others' discussion about Shen Wan, Lu Beichen's face darkened and he was about to say something.
I saw Shen Wan slowly holding up the sign of 001.
Lu Beichen was horrified: "No!"
"Is she crazy?"
"The ancient jade is worth 600 million. How dare she raise the placard?"
"Once the hammer falls, if she can't come up with the 600 million, she will definitely be expelled from Jiangcheng and become a disgrace to the upper class!"
"Hahahaha, we are from the mountains. Even if we are expelled, we can still go back to the countryside to farm~"
"Will Shen Changfeng be asked to pay for these 600 million later?"
For a moment, the gallery was filled with endless mocking sounds.
Shen Changfeng was so angry at her brainless behavior that he laughed and said unceremoniously: "Shen Wan, you'd better put the sign down now."
Shen Wan glanced at him calmly: "Why, is Young Master Shen scared?"
"What am I afraid of?" Shen Changfeng said with disdain: "If you can't come up with 600 million later, don't kneel in front of me and beg me!"
"You are just trying to be rich. I'm afraid you don't even know how much money six hundred million is."
"How can there be someone as stupid as you in this world?"
Lu Beichen was angry: "Shen Changfeng, please be gentle with your words!"
Shen Changfeng changed his aloof image and burst into laughter: "Didn't I warn her just now? She was the one who overestimated her own abilities and insisted on making a bet with me."
"It's too late to play now."
Shen Wan turned his head and looked at him with contempt and disdain.
"Mr. Shen, why are you in such a hurry?"
"The auction continues."
The host came back to his senses, with a slightly intriguing expression on his face, and almost lowered his voice to ask Lu Beichen next to him.
"Mr. Lu, what do you think?"
Do you want to continue?
Before Lu Beichen could speak, Shen Changfeng said sarcastically, "She's already holding up the sign, why are you hesitating? Let her take the photo."
“Master Shen, are you serious?” Lu Beichen had no choice but to ask Shen Wan in a low voice.
Shen Wan smiled and said, “Yes.”
Lu Beichen winked at the host.
The host held the microphone and shouted: "001 once!"
"Any other VIPs to follow?"
"Competitors will verify their financial resources, and those with higher financial resources can bid for the mysterious ancient jade."
The whole place was silent, and everyone was looking at Shen Wan with eyes that showed they were enjoying the show.
Lu Beichen clenched his fists, thinking that he might as well grit his teeth and take the photo. Even if it would cause a temporary shortage of funds, he couldn't let his savior suffer such humiliation!
He slowly raised the sign.
Who knew that Chen Wan would push him back.
Lu Beichen looked at her in surprise, his eyes full of worry.
However, Chen Wan gave him a warm smile, which looked very reassuring.
Lu Beichen was startled.
Could it be that Master Shen really has a way to resolve the current predicament?
Or, should he try to believe her?
Or did he take a picture of the mysterious ancient jade regardless of the consequences? Even if Shen Changfeng was going crazy, he couldn't humiliate Master Shen in this way anymore?
Just when Lu Beichen was hesitating.
Shen Changfeng urged the host impatiently: "Why are you standing there? It's time out."
The host had no choice but to continue: "001 twice."
"Any other VIPs to follow?"
Still no one.
Lu Beichen tried hard to raise the sign, but Chen Wan held his wrist firmly, preventing him from lifting it.
"001 three times!"
"Mysterious ancient jade, the bid was successful!"
As the host's voice fell, everyone looked at Shen Wan with more mockery.
Shen Changfeng would not miss any opportunity to humiliate her, and said on the spot: "The mysterious ancient jade is the main collection of the auction, and it took ten years to be auctioned. I think it is necessary to verify the funds in public to see if some people who are pretending to be rich can really come up with 600 million to buy this ancient jade."
"Yes, we also want to see if she has money. Don't just talk big and ruin the reputation of the auction. Then anyone can come in and cause trouble."
“That’s right, I agree with Mr. Shen’s opinion. The people who come to the auction are either celebrities or powerful people. There has never been someone of Shen Wan’s status.”
"Who knows if she will cheat? I think it is necessary to verify the capital!"
Lu Beichen was so angry that his temples hurt. "Chen Changfeng, do you have to be so sarcastic?"
"Chen Wan, she is your sister!"
Shen Changfeng sneered: "Really? She herself doesn't even admit that she is a member of the Shen family. Why is Mr. Lu rushing to help her get married?"
"You!" Lu Beichen was very angry.
Shen Wan didn't say anything, he just stood up, walked in front of Shen Changfeng, and slowly raised his hand.
Shen Changfeng said coldly: "I am not like my fourth brother who will indulge you. If you dare to touch me, I will let you know how painful the belt is."
The corners of Shen Wan's mouth slightly raised, revealing a contemptuous smile: "I'm not going to beat you up, Mr. Shen, there's no need to do this."
She reached out, took the pen from his suit pocket, and took out the check.
Lu Beichen had sharp eyes and immediately noticed that Li Hanting’s name was written on the blank check.
When he saw the name, his heart was at ease.
Shen Changfeng only saw the check but not the name, and his stern face was full of sarcasm.
"You even know how to find a fake check. Chen Wan, you've never been to this kind of place before. Do you know that there are bank staff here who specifically verify the funds?"
"You think you can get away with it by showing me a fake check?"
"Naive to the point of being stupid!"
Shen Wan ignored him, but quickly wrote down the number on the blank check and handed it to the bank staff who were professionally verifying the capital.
