n128 It’s Not My Fault That I’m Pretty

nWhen Ye Feng and Xu Jingxin arrived at Sotheby’s auction house, it was already bustling with people.

nAfter showing the invitation card that Chen Qiushan had given him, even if Ye Feng was disheveled, the security guards immediately let him through.

nAfter all, Chen Qiushan had given him a Diamond VIP invitation card.

nWith this invitation card, Ye Feng could get the auction house to arrange a top-tier private room.

nHowever, it would be too high-profile to enter a top-class private room.

nYe Feng came here today to bid for the treasure map fragment. He did not want to cause any more trouble.

nTherefore, he brought Xu Jingxin to a corner and sat down.

nHowever, Xu Jingxin’s attractiveness was too strong. Although she was sitting in the corner, she still attracted many people to look back.

n“Sigh, I shouldn’t have brought you here,” Ye Feng could not help but complain.

n“You’re blaming me? It’s not my fault that I’m pretty.” Xu Jingxin felt wronged.

n“Is that still my fault? I’m not your dad,” Ye Feng replied.

n“You dare to take advantage of me? Are you looking for a beating?” Xu Jingxin raised her little fist and was about to hit him.

n“I’m sorry, I was wrong. Haha…” Ye Feng quickly dodged.

nJust as the two of them were fooling around, a handsome man suddenly walked up to them.

n“Miss, have we met before?” When the man came over, he stared at Xu Jingxin with a frivolous look.

nXu Jingxin regained her composure. “Your way of hitting on people is 800 years old, isn’t it?”

nThe man revealed a smile that he thought was charming. “So I tried to hit on you 800 years ago. No wonder you look so familiar.”

n“Hello, I’m Li Hongyi. Nice to meet you again.”

nAs he said that, he took the initiative to reach out his hand.

nXu Jingxin did not shake his hand, but looked at him coldly. “What’s the matter? If there’s nothing else, please leave. Thank you.”

nThe smile on Li Hongyi’s face did not diminish.

n“I just feel that I can’t bear to let such a beautiful lady like you sit here.”

n“I have a VIP room on the second floor. We can drink red wine while attending the auction. What do you think?”

nXu Jingxin held Ye Feng’s arm on purpose. “I think this is a good place.”

nLi Hongyi looked at Ye Feng with disdain. “A beautiful woman like you should find a man who is worthy of you. You shouldn’t just randomly find some trash to be your boyfriend. He’s not worthy of you.”

nXu Jingxin’s pretty face darkened. “Who are you calling trash?”

nLi Hongyi looked at Ye Feng with a sneer. “If you can let your girlfriend sit here, what are you if not trash? I’m willing to bet that he won’t be able to bid for a single item tonight.”

nYe Feng was wearing a tattered suit, and he did look a little embarrassed.

nXu Jingxin snorted coldly. “You’re looking down on us.”

nLi Hongyi did not get angry. Instead, he looked at her provocatively. “Then do you dare to make a bet with me?”

nXu Jingxin did not back down. “What are we betting on?”

nA lecherous smile appeared on Li Hongyi’s face. “Let’s bet on whether he can successfully bid for an item tonight. If he can’t even bid once, then you’ll come with me tonight.”

nXu Jingxin’s lips curved into a smile, and she looked straight at him. “What if he manages to take an item?”

nLi Hongyi looked at Ye Feng contemptuously. “If he can get one, then I will kowtow to him in front of everyone and admit my mistake. I will also go out and run naked.”

nAfter that, he quickly added, “But the premise is that he must buy it with his own money. If you pay for it on his behalf, it’s your loss.”

n“How is it? Do you dare to bet?”

nThe smile on Xu Jingxin’s face gradually bloomed. “Alright, I’ll agree on his behalf.”

nHer smile was so beautiful that Li Hongyi immediately fell into a daze.

nAnd this also strengthened his confidence in getting her.

n“If that’s the case, then let’s have President Chen of Sotheby’s auction house, Chen Qiushan, be our witness.”

nAfraid that Xu Jingxin would go back on her words, Li Hongyi hurriedly asked his men to find Chen Qiushan backstage.

nWhen Chen Qiushan saw Ye Feng, his face was filled with joy and he was about to greet him.

nHowever, Ye Feng had already understood Xu Jingxin’s plan, so he shook his head slightly at him.

nChen Qiushan immediately understood and turned to Li Hongyi. “Are you sure you want to make this bet?”

nLi Hongyi nodded firmly. “This matter concerns my reputation. I hope President Chen can be our witness.”

nChen Qiushan looked at him as if he was an idiot. “Okay, then I’ll be your witness. If anyone dares to refuse to fulfill the bet, then don’t blame me for being impolite.”

n“Of course!”

nLi Hongyi smiled proudly and sat down next to Ye Feng.

nChen Qiushan did not say anything more. He turned around and went backstage.

nThe auction officially began at 8 o’clock sharp.

nThe first item was a Qing Dynasty enamel and the starting price was 100,000 yuan.

nA battle immediately began.

nIn the end, it was bought by a wealthy businessman from another city for 2 million yuan.

nThe auction had just begun, and there was already such a fierce competition. It immediately ignited the atmosphere of the venue.

nThe next few items were also sold at high prices.

nBut Ye Feng remained calm, and he did not have any intention of making a move.

nLi Hongyi looked at him with a sneer. “Kid, the things in the future are getting more and more expensive. If you don’t make a move now, you won’t have the chance anymore.”

nYe Feng chuckled, and he ignored him.

nAt this moment, another item was put up on the stage.

nIt was a purple clay teapot from Yixing.

n“The starting price is 200 thousand.”

nAs the auctioneer’s words fell…

n“2 million,” someone immediately called out.

nWhoosh…

nThe entire venue immediately became noisy.

nThe starting price of this Yixing clay teapot was 200,000 yuan, but it was raised to 2 million yuan.

nWhere did this hothead come from?

nWho would bid like this?

nEveryone turned around to look.

nYe Feng raised his hand with a smile.

nHe looked determined to win.
