Chapter 395: Chapter 395: Young Master Chen
"It’s no fun if you’re like this. Nothing happened between us, and even if I did flirt with you, it was just a joke, so don’t take it seriously."
"Not take it seriously? You’ve already played with my heartstrings, I’ve even started to like you, this damn thing, and now you’re telling me it was just a joke?"
"If you’re going to be like that, then let’s not contact each other in the future."
"You’re not going to Guyi Auction Center anymore?"
"Of course I’m going, get in the car!"
Qin Feng didn’t hesitate and plunked himself into the passenger seat of the Lamborghini.
"Shameless!"
Shangguan Yan cursed him, then stepped on the gas and the Lamborghini roared away with a thunderous vroom.
Guyi Auction Center was a garden-style ancient building located in the heart of Zhonghai. Not to mention the value of the architecture, just the land itself was worth a fortune.
Originally, Shangguan Yan was following behind Qin Feng, but just as they walked through the main gate, Shangguan Yan, who had been trailing him, dashed forward and hooked her arm through his.
This move took Qin Feng by surprise. Then, looking up, he saw a guy dressed in Armani, with slicked-back hair gleaming with oil, clearly some rich kid.
Qin Feng turned his head and asked with a smile, "Who’s that rich kid? Is he trying to pursue you? So you’re using me as a shield again?"
"Chen Group’s young master, Chen Hongbo."
"Chen Group? What do they do?"
"Chen Group is involved in some shady businesses that make a lot of money. On the surface, they deal in antiques. Antiques are typically highly profitable and money-making.
"Some treasures from Dragon Country, after being dug up from our ancestors’ graves by local scholars, can’t leave the country through legal channels, but Chen Group has ways to smuggle them out.
"Even some national treasures, which are considered priceless, they smuggle overseas to make money.
"Anyway, I despise the business Chen Group is in. As a Dragon Country citizen, they’re making a profit by smuggling our national treasures and cultural relics overseas!"
Just then, Chen Hongbo came over.
When he walked up and saw Shangguan Yan clinging firmly to Qin Feng’s arm, Chen Hongbo’s shiny face instantly darkened.
Pointing at Qin Feng’s nose, Chen Hongbo asked Shangguan Yan, "Is this unsophisticated kid your cousin?"
He asked this because he hoped Shangguan Yan was not more intimately involved with Qin Feng than mere cousins.
"He’s not my cousin, he’s my boyfriend."
"Your boyfriend? You’re saying this country bumpkin, who’s clearly a bumpkin from the hills, is your boyfriend? Which part of him is worthy of you from head to toe?"
Chen Hongbo was incredulous, and after shooting Qin Feng a fierce glare, he suddenly realized something. He remembered a detail.
When he spotted Shangguan Yan, she had been following behind Qin Feng. It was only after she saw him that she quickly stepped forward and hooked onto Qin Feng’s arm.
So, Chen Hongbo concluded that Shangguan Yan claiming this guy was her boyfriend was definitely a lie.
She must be using this country bumpkin as a shield to ward off his own pursuit of her!
Having understood this, Chen Hongbo gave a cold sneer.
"Heh!"
Then, with a look of absolute certainty as if he had seen right through her, he said indifferently to Shangguan Yan, "You think you can use this country bumpkin to pretend to be your boyfriend and fend off my pursuit of you? You think these little tricks can deceive me? Try fooling a three-year-old!"
Having spoken to Shangguan Yan, Chen Hongbo turned his attention to Qin Feng.
He didn’t speak directly but pulled out a check from his pocket and wrote a number on it.
The amount wasn’t huge, just one hundred thousand yuan.
But he believed this sum was enough to buy off the country bumpkin in front of him.
After all, a country bumpkin from the hills, working in a big city like Zhonghai as a migrant worker, wouldn’t make one hundred thousand in a year.
Whoosh!
Chen Hongbo waved the check in his hand a couple of times, then pointed at it asking Qin Feng, "Do you know what this is?"
Qin Feng definitely knew it was a check, and being sharp-eyed, he had already seen it was for one hundred thousand when Chen Hongbo wrote the figure.
Thus, he answered cheerfully, "I know, just a piece of trash paper!"
This response shocked Chen Hongbo.
However, he quickly recovered.
This country bumpkin was from the hills, where would he have seen a check? Even hundred-yuan notes were probably rare for him to come across.
Instantly, Chen Hongbo felt that offering one hundred thousand yuan straight out might have been too lavish.
But in front of the goddess, he couldn’t appear stingy.
One hundred thousand would be it then, even if it felt like feeding it to a dog.
"You country bumpkin from the hills really don’t know anything! This is not trash paper, this is a check, a check worth one hundred thousand yuan. Just take this check to the bank, and you can instantly exchange it for one hundred thousand yuan in cash."
Chen Hongbo proudly explained to Qin Feng as if he were enlightening him.
