I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier-Chapter 348: Young Master of the Li Family

"Well, well! Isn’t this the worthless Ye Chen? How does a loser like you have the qualifications to attend a charity auction?" Li Ling mocked.

"What’s wrong with me auctioning an antique?" Ye Chen said indifferently.

"Heh, how much can your antique be worth? I’m afraid you can’t even afford the value of a random jade necklace of mine, can you?" Li Ling mocked with ill-intent.

Ye Chen furrowed his brows, about to speak, when Lin Yuqing cut in ahead: "Li Ling, please show some respect. Ye Chen is not worthless. On the contrary, he’s a very impressive Fishing Master!"

"Fishing Master? Are you kidding me? With his poor and shabby appearance, how does he resemble a serious person?" Li Ling said with disdain.

"You!" Lin Yuqing was furious.

Just then, the auction manager came over from the stage and announced loudly, "Alright, everyone, let’s stop arguing. The auction is about to begin."

"First of all, I declare the start of the auction!"

With the auction manager’s words, a round of applause erupted at the auction venue.

Next, a stunning and sexy woman dressed in a cheongsam walked out from behind the auction, and the entire venue was enveloped in a wave of fragrance the moment she appeared!

Everyone’s breathing in the room quickened a bit!

"Wow! So sexy!"

"Yeah! I’ve lived for more than twenty years and have never seen such a level of beauty!"

Seeing the people at the auction site all buzzing with discussion, Ye Chen couldn’t help but shake his head and chuckle.

Lin Yuqing, apparently already accustomed to this, turned her gaze to the cheongsam-wearing lady on the stage: "Ye Chen, what are you laughing at?"

"Nothing much, just that I think this girl really suits the cheongsam," Ye Chen shrugged.

Lin Yuqing gave him a look and said with annoyance, "Are you having a crush again? This cheongsam lady is a staff member from Yunxi Villa."

"I remember, her name is Su Tong, she has a very sweet appearance, and a unique temperament. She’s one of the top beauties in our circle. You might consider it; perhaps you two will spark something."

Hearing her words, Ye Chen shook his head and said, "Heh, I have you, and that’s enough. As for the rest, I’m not interested."

Lin Yuqing’s cheeks flushed red, and she whispered softly, "Slick talker."

Just then, Li Ling walked over and gave Ye Chen a cold smile: "Ye Chen, do you know why you’ll never match up to me? Because you lack strength! Without strength, there’s no foundation, understand?"

"If one day, you meet my father, you’d definitely be scared out of your wits."

After saying that, Li Ling turned and left.

Watching Li Ling’s retreating back, Lin Yuqing clenched her teeth and said, "That bastard really goes too far!"

"Forget it, Yuqing, don’t bother with him. Let’s drink some tea," Ye Chen suggested as he picked up his teacup and took a small sip with a smile.

Seeing this, Lin Yuqing nodded, and the two sat on the sofa, sipping tea and chatting about family matters...

Time flew, and soon half an hour had passed, a slight commotion arose in the venue of the auction.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the auction is officially starting." The auctioneer on the stage called out with a smile on his face.

As the voice fell, the host brought out the first auction item, a jade bracelet valued at five million, which was sold!

Then one after another, auction items were presented consecutively.

Lin Yuqing and Ye Chen didn’t pay much attention to those auction items, instead, they took interest in a piece of stone material beside them.

"This thing looks pretty nice, how about we buy it?" Ye Chen pointed at the stone material and said to Lin Yuqing.

Lin Yuqing carefully observed for a moment and gently shook her head: "I don’t think this material is any good quality, it probably won’t sell for much, so don’t bother."

Ye Chen smiled, said no more, and quietly waited.

At this moment, that piece of stone material which had been placed in a corner caught his attention. He squinted his eyes, and his penetrating vision quietly activated, probing towards the stone...

The stone material was about the size of an adult man’s fist, pitch black all over with patterns covering its surface, looking very strange.

Ye Chen stared at the piece of stone for a long time before he couldn’t help but mutter to himself: "Could it be Black Rock Sand?" ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Black Rock Sand, also known as black wusha, is a top-quality jade in China’s antique world. This type of jade is extremely hard, considered the hardest in the world, not only does it have excellent maintenance effects, but most importantly, it’s incredibly rare!

Such jade is exorbitantly priced; this piece of Black Rock Sand alone is worth nearly one hundred million!

This is also why this piece of Black Rock Sand was placed in the most outer perimeter, not daring to be bid on.

"Regardless, it doesn’t hurt to try, if it is indeed top-quality Black Rock Sand, my attendance at this auction wouldn’t be in vain," Ye Chen murmured to himself, then stood up and walked straight towards the auction stage.

Seeing him standing up, Lin Yuqing was slightly startled: "Ye Chen, where are you going?"

Ye Chen turned his head and gave her a radiant smile: "To bid on this Black Rock Sand for you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuqing was dumbfounded, she couldn’t believe Ye Chen would say something like that!

You must know that his appearance before was quite shabby!

Even so, he still willingly accompanied her to the auction.

This made Lin Yuqing feel a warm current inside, pondering that perhaps, finding a husband like this for life wouldn’t be too bad.

Meanwhile, on the other side, contempt was written all over Li Ling’s face: "Haha, I thought he could produce something special, turns out he’s just puffing himself up at his own cost. A person like that simply can’t compete with me!"

At the same time, on the auction stage, the auctioneer continued: "Next, we come to the thirty-ninth auction item, which is also the most precious item of this auction!"

"This is a Dragon Stone Imperial Green Jade Pendant, said to be left by a member of the Royal Family at the end of the Qing Dynasty. After professional appraisal, this is a real Emperor Green Jade Pendant! The starting bid is eighty million!"

Following the auctioneer’s introduction, there was an immediate stir of exclamations below.

"Holy shit, it’s a Dragon Stone Imperial Green Jade Pendant, a true national treasure, I can’t believe it’s appearing here!"

"Tsk tsk, this pendant indeed is a national treasure, but the problem is it’s fake!"

"You’re talking nonsense, it’s clearly real, otherwise why would it appear here!"

While the crowd was in a heated discussion, Ye Chen chuckled to himself.

Although this pendant is an Emperor Green Jade Pendant, it’s poorly crafted leading to severe flaws, without careful examination one would definitely consider it genuine Emperor Green Jade!

"Such trash dare to be brought out and lose face, seems like Yunhai Group is really going downhill," Ye Chen shook his head and sighed, then said to Lin Yuqing beside him: "Yuqing, I’m going to use the restroom and will be right back."
