The Beautiful CEO's Dragon Blood Bodyguard-Chapter 572: Brother Is Just So Surprising

Long Fei released Li Zhenni’s arm and glared at her, saying, "Give me an explanation!"

Lin Yingying stared at Li Zhenni too, with a hook at the corner of her mouth, "Jenny, I treated you like a sister, and you try to steal my husband?"

Li Zhenni let out a dry laugh, pulled them out of the crowd to a deserted spot, and apologized, "I’m sorry, it was just a stopgap! When I was studying abroad, I attended the same school as Jiang Yunyi. He chased after me for years, but I never accepted. I’m just borrowing Long Fei to make him give up hope!"

Long Fei realized, no wonder she was so familiar with the Jiang Family, she was an old flame!

Lin Yingying teased, "Jiang Yunyi is quite handsome, how come you didn’t fall for him? Could it be because of Chu Feng?"

Li Zhenni shook her head, "No, we were not compatible. I’m not like you; I never took the marriage arrangement seriously. Jiang Yunyi may seem cultured, but he’s actually very domineering. He wouldn’t let other men come near me before I had even accepted him, and even told me not to chat casually with men. How could someone like me live by looking at his face all the time?"

"A domineering CEO, huh?"

Lin Yingying laughed a little, her eyes involuntarily glancing at Long Fei.

Although the young girls these days are into that, she didn’t like that type either.

She thought to herself that her own husband was better; a bit timid perhaps, but so warming!

Soon, the stage set up in the venue started to bustle, with the sounds of microphones checking.

A dapper middle-aged man took the stage, dressed in a suit and looking very impressive. He bowed slightly to the audience and said, "Thank you, dear friends and honored guests, for attending the Jiang Corporation’s Wine Night party. Today, we have prepared a special gift for all of you to auction. If you’re interested, please take a seat. We guarantee you won’t be disappointed."

"Let’s go have a look!"

Li Zhenni, excited, pulled Long Fei and Lin Yingying towards the stage and found a place to sit down at the front.

A crowd of wealthy individuals began to gather, the elder ones sitting in the front, while the younger ones mostly at the back.

In a moment, the hundred seats were all filled.

There were also many people standing at the back, not daring to come and sit down inside.

Long Fei scanned the crowd, and a young man in a corner caught his attention. The man wore a baseball cap and was dressed casually.

On a closer look, damn, wasn’t this guy Wuu Xudong?

In the past, whenever he had seen Wuu Xudong’s younger brother, Wuu Yaodong, he was always surrounded by a group of people.

But this older brother was quite low-key, sitting alone with not even a friend beside him.

Long Fei remembered last time in the canyon, Daoist Wang Kun had clearly sprinkled some powder on Wuu Xudong.

The powder was full of the foul smell of death; definitely not something good.

Despite that, there sat Wuu Xudong, seemingly fine. Could it be that the powder’s toxicity had not taken effect?

Long Fei remained skeptical, adopting an attitude of not making a move unless the enemy did, choosing not to take action right there.

His eyes were soon drawn to the beautiful auctioneer on the stage.

She wore a floral cheongsam that showcased her long, fair thighs, which peeked out as she walked, eliciting whistles and screams from the younger audience.

She tapped the Copper Hammer, smiled sweetly to the audience, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the treasures for today’s auction are of great value. We will distribute number plates to everyone, and you can simply raise them when you wish to make a bid. As you know the rules of Divine Dragon Auction House, if you do not have the funds, please refrain from bidding maliciously, to avoid disturbing the harmony."

There was a murmur of discussion among the crowd, all wondering what treasures the Jiang Family might present today.

Someone at the back pointed towards Long Fei and whispered, "How can that poor guy sit there? Does he think he’s wealthy?"

"Yeah, my family is worth millions, and I wouldn’t dare to sit there; yet he has the nerve to do so," another person added.

"No wonder he managed to snag two beauties, he’s got such thick skin."

"Just you watch, he’s definitely just here to look around. It’ll be a wonder if he actually makes a bid," concluded another.

Long Fei rubbed his head, thinking to himself who he had offended to receive such unfavorable glances.

He glanced at the beauties on both sides and guessed the reason.

It was definitely these two dames attracting animosity, making it impossible for him to keep a low profile.

On the stage, quickly, three tall and attractive cheongsam-clad beauties stepped up, each holding a tray as they took their places behind the auctioneer. ƒгeewebnovёl_com

The auctioneer tapped the Copper Hammer, signaling everyone to quiet down.

The first auction item was placed on the table, and as the red cloth was pulled away, a bottle of red wine was revealed.

The audience chuckled, as they were familiar with such banquets from previous years and some had already guessed what it was.

The auctioneer said with a smile, "As everyone might have guessed, this is one of the essential auction items of our annual Wine Night. This bottle of red wine is the first batch of this year’s wine production. It tastes exceptionally fresh, with a market value of one hundred and eighty yuan. The starting bid for this auction is at this price. The proceeds from the auction will, as usual, be donated to the thirteen orphanages in Binhai City. I hope everyone will offer their love and help these homeless children find a warm home."

The Copper Hammer sounded, and the bidding started.

With each raised paddle, the price increased by ten thousand.

All the wealthy people present started the bidding as a friendly gesture, giving face to the Jiang Family.

Ten thousand,

Twenty thousand,

Thirty thousand.

When the bid reached one hundred thousand, applause filled with flattery echoed through the room.

The people willing to bid were all tycoons, spending money for the Jiang Family to do charity work; spending money without any benefit to themselves, only a fool would make a bid.

By the time the bid reached two hundred thousand, no more voices were raised from the crowd.

The auctioneer tapped the Copper Hammer and looked around, asking, "Is there any gentleman who would like to raise the bid?"

A middle-aged man laughed and shouted, "No more, who would top Old Wang in supporting charity?"

The people all laughed, and the auctioneer also smiled, ready to strike the Copper Hammer to end the auction.

This outcome was expected as in previous years, and this year the amount had even increased by fifty thousand, which was beyond the auctioneer’s expectations.

Just as she was about to bring the Copper Hammer down, Long Fei suddenly raised his paddle high.

Lin Yingying and Li Zhenni both smiled; they had guessed early on that this guy would make a move.

The auctioneer, excited, addressed Long Fei, "Wonderful, this gentleman is willing to raise the bid by ten thousand, I thank you on behalf of the children."

The crowd turned to look at Long Fei, thinking who this fool was to spend two hundred and ten thousand on a bottle of domestic red wine.

Old Wang stroked his Mediterranean-haircut and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally finding a sucker to take over.

Long Fei spoke in a not-so-loud voice, with a faint smile, "Wrong, I’m not raising by ten thousand, but by one million."

The crowd was suddenly abuzz, thinking they had misheard.

Those who had mocked Long Fei were now stunned, shouting in disbelief, "Is this bastard just showing off on purpose?"

"Definitely, with his street vendor clothes, how could he possibly have a million!"

"Just wait and see. If he can’t come up with the money, let’s see how the Jiang Family deals with him!"

Sitting in the front row, Jiang Yunyi and Jiang Yunlan, the siblings, along with their father, couldn’t help but turn their heads in surprise at Long Fei.

Although the auctioneer was accustomed to large events, she too couldn’t help but stutter, "Sir, are you sure you want to bid one million two hundred thousand and take this bottle of red wine?"
