Chapter 79: I See You’re Tired of Living
Xiao Hailong acted quickly, but Ye Chen easily dodged.
Then, he grabbed Xiao Hailong’s wrist and gave it a gentle shake, sneering, “What’s wrong? Is your hand healed? Have you forgotten the pain now that the wound has healed?”
Xiao Hailong immediately felt a surge of immense strength, causing him to involuntarily take two steps back, both angry and shocked.
This kid has quite a bit of strength!
Knowing he was no match for Ye Chen, Xiao Hailong coldly cursed, “Damn it, you worthless piece of trash, just wait! I’ll call the manager to have you thrown out!”
With that, Xiao Hailong turned and shouted for the manager nearby.
Soon, a middle-aged man in a suit hurried over, followed by two security guards.
The middle-aged man had an extraordinary demeanor and smiled at Xiao Hailong, saying, “Mr. Xiao, how can I assist you?”
“Manager, check their invitation letters,” Xiao Hailong pointed at Ye Chen and disdainfully said, “I suspect their invitation letters are fake.”
For the sake of guest privacy, each invitation letter did not include the names of the guests, only a string of codes.
By entering the code into a specific app on his phone, he could verify the names of the attendees.
Seeing Xiao Hailong dressed lavishly, the manager recognized him as a member of a prominent family. In contrast, Ye Chen was dressed quite ordinarily, prompting a contemptuous smile from the manager as he said to Ye Chen, “Please show me your invitation letter for verification.”
Although his tone was polite, his eyes held a hint of disdain.
Because of Ye Chen’s ordinary appearance, he did not seem like someone who could enter the Treasure Pavilion as a distinguished guest.
Ye Chen sensed the contempt in the manager’s gaze and felt a surge of anger, coldly replying, “What if I refuse?”
The manager cleared his throat, his expression turning cold as he continued, “May I ask which family in Jinling City you belong to?”
Before Ye Chen could respond, Xiao Hailong jumped in, “He’s from our Xiao family. No, he’s just a live-in son-in-law of the Xiao family, not even worthy of being called a member of the Xiao family. At most, he’s just our dog!”
The term “live-in son-in-law” made the manager realize the situation.
People of status in Jinling City would never become live-in sons-in-law.
The manager’s expression darkened as he said, “So, how did you get in here?”
Faced with the scrutiny of this group, Ye Chen was already impatient and felt disappointed with the Treasure Pavilion’s practice of categorizing guests into ranks.
He coldly replied, “Of course, I walked in.”
The manager, knowing Ye Chen’s low status, stopped probing and coldly stated, “If you do not comply with the rules and show me your invitation letter for verification, I will have to ask you to leave.”
With that, he waved his hand, and the two security guards moved forward, glaring at Ye Chen.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Changkun became a bit flustered.
He feared that the invitation letter might really be problematic, so he hurriedly said to Ye Chen, “Ye Chen, I think we should avoid trouble and leave quickly.”
Ye Chen frowned, surprised, and asked, “Dad, aren’t you going to watch the auction?”
Xiao Changkun shook his head and said, “No, we shouldn’t be here in the first place. If we get thrown out later, it would be embarrassing…”
Seeing that his father-in-law had made up his mind, Ye Chen stopped arguing, nodded, and led Xiao Changkun toward the exit.
It was just an auction; he had never cared much for it. Since his father-in-law didn’t want to stay either, there was no need to linger and get entangled with these people.
As for Song Wanting, if she asked about him, he would just say, “Your family’s event is beyond my reach!”
Then, he turned with his father-in-law to leave.
Behind them, Xiao Hailong laughed loudly, “Hahaha, two losers, scared? Feeling guilty? How dare you sneak into the Song family’s auction, truly seeking death!”
Ye Chen ignored him and stepped outside.
At that moment, the crowd suddenly erupted in commotion.
People parted to create a path as a man and a woman stepped into the venue.
The woman wore a black evening gown, her beauty striking and her figure exquisite.
Under the bright lights, her appearance was stunning, and her elegant demeanor made every movement, even her walking posture, exceptionally graceful.
This beauty was truly exceptional, leaving Xiao Hailong momentarily mesmerized.
Song Wanting entered the venue, her beautiful eyes scanning the room. Upon seeing two empty seats in the front VIP area, she asked, “Have my two VIP guests not arrived yet?”
Bao Fugui glanced at the guest information, frowning as he said, “Miss Song, the entrance shows that these two distinguished guests’ invitation letters have been verified, which means they have entered our auction. We just don’t know where they are now.”
After saying this, he immediately instructed someone nearby, “Go get the manager.”
Soon, the manager approached and asked, “Master Bao, how can I assist you?”
Bao Fugui pointed to the two empty seats in the VIP area and asked, “Two distinguished guests have had their invitation letters verified; why are they not in their seats?”
“Two distinguished guests?” The manager immediately thought of the old man and young man he had just kicked out.
Could it be…
That shouldn’t be the case…
Since they had invitation letters and were VIPs, why didn’t they let him verify?
Could it be they were angry?
Oh no…
Seeing the manager’s panicked expression, Bao Fugui shot a glance at the nearby security guard and said, “You explain.”
The security guard, not daring to hide anything, quickly recounted what had just happened.
After hearing this, Song Wanting frowned and looked at Bao Fugui, saying, “Master Bao, I’ll go find Mr. Ye. You handle this here. I hope you can give me a satisfactory result regarding this matter.”
Bao Fugui nodded repeatedly, and after watching Song Wanting leave, his expression darkened as he glared at the manager, “Are you tired of living? You dare offend guests personally invited by Miss Song?!”
The manager’s legs went weak, and he immediately knelt on the ground, pointing at Xiao Hailong in the distance, crying out, “Master, I didn’t mean to! It’s all this bastard’s fault!”
Bao Fugui kicked the manager hard in the face, knocking him to the ground, and scolded, “Damn it, Xiao Hailong, right? You dare offend our Miss Song’s guests? I see you’re tired of living!”
