Not long after Chen Mo left the private room, he saw the door of the same private room open again. The beautiful woman in fancy attire from before walked out angrily.
Seeing the woman's expression, Chen Mo inwardly groaned, thinking, "Oh no."
Could this woman really disregard her own dignity and come to trouble him?
With this thought, Chen Mo frowned slightly.
Seeing the woman heading towards the crowd in the back, Chen Mo quickly moved to the front row. No one had taken these seats yet, and more importantly, there was no one around, which was perfect for him to lie low for a while.
Once the auction started, that woman would surely return to her private room, and it wouldn't be too late for him to find Xu Chengping then.
Having made up his mind, Chen Mo sat directly on the sofa in the middle of the front row.
This spot perfectly blocked the view of everyone behind him, and he figured the woman wouldn't be able to find him.
"Hey, who are you? Is this a seat you can sit in?" Just as Chen Mo was holding his forehead to avoid attention, a voice sounded in front of him.
Chen Mo frowned slightly and looked up.
He saw a man standing in front of him, staring at him with displeasure.
"What's wrong with me sitting here?" Chen Mo asked.
The man sized Chen Mo up and down, a look of disdain appearing on his face. "Kid, you look unfamiliar. You're probably attending an auction for the first time, aren't you?"
Chen Mo didn't hide it and nodded.
"What color is your membership card?" the man asked again.
"Membership card?" Chen Mo was confused. He hadn't heard that one needed a membership card to be here.
"Kid, you didn't sneak in, did you? You don't even know about Galen Auction's membership cards."
"I came with a friend," Chen Mo explained.
"No wonder. So you're just some trash here to see the world." Seeing that it was Chen Mo's first time, the man's tone immediately became impolite.
Chen Mo's face darkened. "Watch your tone. I haven't offended you."
"Polite? You think you're worthy of me being polite to you?" the man said disdainfully.
He then pointed to the sofa Chen Mo was sitting on. "These are seats only Platinum members are qualified to sit in. Someone like you, accompanying them, can at most sit in the chairs at the very back. Oh, and those Gold members also only have the qualification to sit there."
Chen Mo's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. He hadn't realized that the memberships here were tiered.
However, Chen Mo's gaze then shifted to a private room not far away.
Noticing Chen Mo's gaze, the man said mockingly, "Kid, don't even think about those private rooms. You probably won't have the chance to sit in them in this lifetime."
The scene here also attracted the attention of many people, and their gazes all shifted over.
Especially seeing this unfamiliar kid, Chen Mo, sitting in the middle seat of the front row, everyone was surprised and seemed somewhat bewildered.
Everyone knew that position was not something ordinary people could occupy.
"So you're here?!" Just as Chen Mo was about to get up and leave, a voice he really didn't want to hear sounded from the side.
"Miss Lin?" the man looked at the newcomer in surprise.
Chen Mo, knowing he couldn't avoid it any longer, looked at the woman with embarrassment.
The woman walked towards Chen Mo furiously.
Seeing the woman approaching them, the man quickly and enthusiastically stepped forward. "Miss Lin, I am Zheng Chen from Tai'an Group."
"Get out of the way!" the woman coldly replied with two words.
Zheng Chen was stunned, not understanding why the woman was so angry.
The woman's steps stopped in front of Chen Mo, her eyes seeming to want to skin him alive.
"Miss Lin, you know him?" Zheng Chen asked confusedly.
He was also very uneasy, thinking that if they knew each other, he had just offended a major figure!
"You scoundrel!" the woman cursed at Chen Mo.
Chen Mo could only explain awkwardly, "I really didn't mean it just now. I didn't know you were here."
Before Chen Mo could finish speaking, the woman's face flushed, and she glared at Chen Mo. "Shut up! Don't say another word!"
Chen Mo looked at her helplessly and then fell silent.
"Kid, did you offend Miss Lin?" Zheng Chen then questioned Chen Mo.
Chen Mo looked at Zheng Chen with annoyance. "Why are you everywhere? Does it have anything to do with you?"
Hearing Chen Mo dare to speak to him like that, Zheng Chen immediately got angry. "Kid, you dare to offend Miss Lin? You're simply courting death!"
Chen Mo, however, smiled. "You keep saying I offended her. Then ask her yourself, how did I offend her?"
Zheng Chen turned his gaze to the woman. "Miss Lin, please tell me how this kid offended you. I'll have security throw him out right now!"
The woman's face turned pale then green. How could she possibly say it!
"Miss Lin?" Zheng Chen asked again.
"My business is none of your concern. Go away!" The woman glared at Zheng Chen in shame and anger.
Zheng Chen hadn't expected the woman to say that.
Especially seeing Chen Mo's schadenfreude expression, Zheng Chen's face turned furious.
He had originally wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to the woman, but unexpectedly, he had only made her dislike him. Zheng Chen blamed all of this on Chen Mo.
"I'm so sorry, so sorry, Mr. Zheng, Miss Lin. There must be some misunderstanding."
At this moment, Xu Chengping, who had noticed the situation with Chen Mo, hurried over.
"Boss Xu?" Seeing Xu Chengping, Zheng Chen's expression darkened.
"This kid is someone you brought?"
Xu Chengping quickly nodded. "Yes, he came with me."
Zheng Chen sneered and pointed to the seat Chen Mo was occupying. "Heh, Boss Xu, since when did bringing someone into the venue allow them to sit in this position?"
"Director Chen, our seats are in the back," Xu Chengping whispered into Chen Mo's ear.
Chen Mo didn't want to make things difficult for Xu Chengping, so he stood up.
"Wan'er, why are you here?" Suddenly, a middle-aged man's voice rang out.
Seeing the newcomer, Zheng Chen quickly stepped in front of Chen Mo and Xu Chengping.
"Dad." Lin Wan'er saw her father and pouted, her eyes welling up with tears.
"Wan'er, what exactly happened?" As a father, seeing his daughter like this, he was naturally heartbroken.
"Miss Wan'er, what happened?" the man accompanying the middle-aged man also asked.
"Young Master Ouyang, it's this kid. This kid offended Miss Lin just now." Zheng Chen pointed at Chen Mo and Xu Chengping with an obsequious expression.
Seeing the newcomers, Xu Chengping's face suddenly changed drastically. He quickly stepped forward to explain, "Young Master Ouyang, Director Lin, I am Xu Chengping, the owner of Shenzhi Tang. This is all a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?" Ouyang Mu's eyes flashed with a cold glint.
"A mere Shenzhi Tang dares to offend Miss Lin? How audacious."
These words truly frightened Xu Chengping quite a bit.
However, before Xu Chengping could continue apologizing, Chen Mo suddenly asked, "Young Master Ouyang? What is your relationship with Ouyang Fuhua?"
