Chapter 69: So This Is What It Feels Like to Be Misunderstood
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Qin Zhen was well aware that he could not delay any longer. “Five hundred million!”
The host said, “This gentleman offers 500 million. Is there a higher bid? 500 million once!” “500 million twice!”
“500 million…”
“600 million!”
The doors of the auction were pushed open, and a soft yet powerful female voice rang out.
Shen Qingyue stepped forward in front of everyone’s eyes.
Qin Zhen’s heart, which had been clenched, finally relaxed.
The most excited one was the host; this bid was a full one billion higher than the estimated price.
Because everyone else had their budgets, in their view, buying this piece of land for 600 million was simply being cheated, so naturally, no one made any more bids. It was eventually won by Shen Qingyue.
Shen Qingyue naturally did not care about their thoughts. After the suburban area was planned, those people wouldn’t be able to laugh anymore.
The auction ended, and everyone left one after another.
Wei Jiu’er walked out with Qin Zhen.
Shen Qingyue stopped Qin Zhen and asked directly, “Were you the one who sent people to capture me today?”
Although she thought Qin Zhen would not do such a thing, considering how easily he had been fooled by Wei Jiu’er, she did not know if he had any bottom line left.
Qin Zhen suddenly smiled, realizing that in Shen Qingyue’s eyes, he was the kind of person who would resort to despicable means to win.
When he touched Qin Zhen’s complex gaze, Shen Qingyue thought she had guessed wrong.
But the next second, Qin Zhen said, “Yes! What about it?”
Shen Qingyue was briefly stunned. So, he had really stooped to this level? “Why?”
“What else could it be for? For today’s auction, of course. Since you can ask me like that, haven’t you already had an answer in your heart?” Qin Zhen sneered.
Shen Qingyue looked at him, thinking about what those people wanted to do to her. Even if Qin Zhen did not give the order, he did not mind. Since he dared to do such a thing, he should know what she would face. Although she had given up on her feelings for Qin Zhen, they had known each other for so many years. After their divorce, she did not want to get entangled with him anymore, but he kept getting more and more disgusting. “Yes, I have an answer, but I didn’t expect you to go this far.”
Qin Zhen laughed, “Consider it a lesson for you, Shen Qingyue. It’s not wrong to use some means in business. There are many things you need to learn if you want to do business. Be smarter, or you won’t be so lucky next time.”
After speaking, he left with Wei Jiu’er.
After leaving the venue, Wei Jiu’er could not help but ask, “Why did you say it was you?”
“Shen Qingyue won’t give up easily. If she wants to investigate, she will definitely find out that it was Bing’er who did it. Since Bing’er has done so much for me as a younger sister, what will she do if I don’t help her? But if I say it was me, Shen Qingyue won’t investigate further. She won’t confront me for now! She can’t bring down the Qin Group yet.” Qin Zhen concealed his emotions and spoke very clearly.
“That’s true. You’re right. Bing’er is young and impulsive. She might leave evidence…” Wei Jiu’er did not say anything else.
Qin Zhen responded with a sound, not admitting that there was a trace of stubbornness in his actions just now. Because of Shen Qingyue’s questioning, she did not trust him? He was genuinely angry. So, this was what it felt like to be distrusted? Well, he was the reason for what happened this time, and Shen Qingyue suffered as a result. Let this piece of land be compensation.
After hearing about the incident from Wei Jiu’er, Ling Bing’er smashed a cup in anger! She had finally allowed Shen Qingyue to get that piece of land. That woman, next time, she would not be so lucky. Once she caught her, she would first disable her hands and feet. Let’s see how she would run then?
While she was throwing a tantrum, she heard the maid saying that Qin Zhen had come. Instantly, Ling Bing’er had a bad feeling. She waited for Qin Zhen to enter, and that look in his eyes gave her an inexplicable chill. She walked over and obediently called out, “Brother.”
Qin Zhen coldly said, “Why did you kidnap Shen Qingyue? Just for a piece of land?”
Ling Bing’er still wanted to argue, “It wasn’t me! That kind of person like her must have offended many people. Who knows who kidnapped her?”
“Still trying to lie!” Qin Zhen sternly interrupted her, “Didn’t you start trouble with Shen Qingyue before? Wasn’t it you who provoked her first that time? You envy that the Shens are wealthier than the Ling family, that Shen Qingyue has a higher status, and that she is more popular than you. You kept finding trouble with her time after time! Do you think I don’t know? I didn’t pursue it before because I didn’t want to be laughed at. But now that I’ve divorced her, if you provoke her again, don’t blame me for ignoring family ties! I’ll clean up this mess for you this time, but this is the last time..”
