The Crippled Boss Loves Me Chapter 146 - Slapping Her Face In Public

Chapter 146: Slapping Her Face In Public

Cheng Dong was also present at the charity gala. Since Shen Hanxing had said so earlier, the earrings must not be sold to anyone else. Ji Mei had just informed Cheng Dong to bid for the earrings at all costs to please Shen Hanxing. However, Ji Mei did not expect that the price of an ordinary pair of earrings would continue to rise like this. Every time the bidding paddle was raised, it felt as though Ji Mei’s flesh was being cut off as well. Her heart ached terribly.

“Mom,” Cheng Songyang lowered his eyes and looked at Ji Mei with a deep and cold gaze. “Let’s bid separately.”

Cheng Songyang felt his blood boiling and his heart beating faster than usual. This woman, Shen Hanxing, was different from other women. She was not water, she was a rose that grew among thorns, enthusiastically displaying her beauty to everyone. And everyone who wanted to pick this rose was destined to shed blood all the way to where she was. They would kneel in front of her with wounds all over their bodies as they are pierced by her.

When he thought about how he could conquer such a rose, Cheng Songyang felt his adrenaline surge. His wolf-like eyes were locked on the stage. He did not know if he was looking at the diamond earrings or the person sitting in the front row.

Wei Yong’s lips twitched, “Five million.”

“Six million!” Cheng Songyang raised his paddle.

The two of them continued going back and forth and the price quickly rose to ten million. The people in the audience watched the two of them fight with numbness. It was as if the numbers they were uttering were not money at all.

“15 million.” At this moment, Ji Yan raised his paddle again. It was hard to tell what he was feeling.

“16 million,” Cheng Songyang raised his paddle and nodded at Ji Yan with a smile. “Thank you for letting me win, Cousin.”

Ji Yan looked at him indifferently without saying a word.

“Cheng Songyang!” At that moment, Bai Youyou finally could not hold it in anymore. She stood up, stepped over a few people, and bit her lips as she looked at him. “What is the meaning of this?”

The Bai family and Cheng Songyang had already clearly shown their intentions to form an alliance through marriage. However, Cheng Songyang had spent so much money on another woman in public. Had he ever considered Bai Youyou’s feelings?

Bai Youyou felt her cheeks ache, and the gazes of the crowd made her feel even more humiliated.

“Miss Bai,” Cheng Songyang nodded gracefully and smiled. “As you can see, I really want to bid for this pair of earrings. Is there a problem?”

He actually asked her if there was a problem? Of course, there was a problem! She hated Shen Hanxing so much. As her fiancé, it was fine if Cheng Songyang did not help, but how could he personally help Shen Hanxing slap her in the face?

Even though they were supposedly fiancés, their engagement had in fact not been formalized yet. Thus, she did not have the rightful status to question him like this now. For a moment, the eyes of the people around her pierced her like sharp thorns. Bai Youyou was embarra.s.sed and angry. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she stomped her feet angrily. She screamed, “Shen Hanxing, you b*tch!”

Shen Hanxing sneered, “Miss Bai, I’m not the one who embarra.s.sed you. Isn’t it inappropriate for you to vent your anger on me?”

However, if it was not for Shen Hanxing, how could Bai Youyou be embarra.s.sed like this?! Bai Youyou was used to being unruly. When she was going to make a scene again, she saw Ji Yan. He was sitting in front of her, and he turned his head and cast a sinister look at her. That look was as cold as ice and snow, freezing Bai Youyou into silence.

Cheng Songyang also frowned and said disapprovingly, “Miss Bai, you are too rude.”

Everyone was protecting Shen Hanxing! After realizing this, Bai Youyou was both jealous and looked unsightly, her jealousy had consumed her rationality. Finally, she could not bear the gazes of the people around her anymore. She covered her face and ran out crying.

“16 million going once, 16 million going twice, 16 million…” the host on the stage blushed and tried to continue controlling the scene. Just as he was about to announce who the final owner of the pair of earrings was, he saw someone raise a bidding paddle below the stage.

“20 million.” It was Zhuang Hengyu’s first bid. When he saw that everyone’s eyes were on him, he smiled and said, “Seeing that everyone is fighting so noisily, I also want to join in the fun.”

Zhuang Li’s eyes were gloomy as he also raised his paddle. “23 million.”

Ji Mei gritted her teeth and anxiously looked up at Cheng Dong, who was nearby. The price could not get any higher. This price was already reaching the maximum amount she could bid for with all the cash she had on hand. If it went any higher, they could only give up. But if Shen Hanxing gave up investing in them because of this…

Ji Mei’s entire body trembled. Cheng Dong clearly understood this as well. There was a hint of madness in his eyes. He raised his board and shouted, “26 million!” This was the highest price he could offer.

Even if the money was invested into the fund in the end, it would only be a one-sided transaction for them. However, there were still many details that could not be revealed to outsiders. It was not as simple as they thought.
