Chapter 471 Selling the Ancestral Ancestral Hall
At this moment, a faint voice broke Chen Xuan's thoughts.
"Mr. Chen, we've arrived."
Chen Xuan then withdrew his thoughts.
He turned his head and saw Huo Yuhao already out of the car, opening the door for him and respectfully awaiting him.
Chen Xuan nodded and got out of the car.
"Mr. Chen, this way, we'll take the elevator, which can directly reach the auction hall. It can reduce one-third of the journey and is the fastest way. Most people don't know about it."
Huo Yuhao, with a look of familiarity, strode ahead to lead Chen Xuan.
As they walked, Huo Yuhao also introduced to Chen Xuan, "Mr. Chen, this exhibition hall ranks among the top three in the provincial capital, and its rent is worth millions. Those who can hold auctions here are not ordinary big companies."
"Just like the Boda Auction, it is an auction organized by Boda Group, which ranks among the top three in the provincial capital and top five in the entire province."
At this moment, Huo Yuhao stopped in front of a closed hall and smiled, "An auction was also held in this hall once, and a rather embarrassing incident occurred. An antique that was identified as genuine by eight appraisers was later identified as fake, causing a sensation throughout the city. It is said that the company lost hundreds of millions."
"By the way, and here..." After walking a few steps, Huo Yuhao pointed to another hall.
Chen Xuan nodded indifferently.
Seeing Huo Yuhao's familiarity with the place, Chen Xuan couldn't help but feel a little curious, "Yuhao, you seem very familiar with this place?"
A hint of gloom flashed across Huo Yuhao's brow, but he quickly recovered and laughed, "Mr. Chen, don't look down on me. I was also a young master of the provincial capital back then. I often came to places like this."
Chen Xuan smiled faintly.
Since he didn't want to say, so be it. Everyone has their own privacy.
Just then, a burst of laughter sounded.
"Hahaha, of course. Our young master Huo was a regular at auction houses back then. It was precisely because of an auction that brought ruin to the Huo family. He's not just familiar with this place; he should be familiar with it to the bone!"
Upon hearing this voice, Huo Yuhao stiffened, slowly turned his head, and his face immediately froze.
Chen Xuan followed the sound and saw a group of people surrounding a bright and handsome young man, as if he were the center of attention.
The young man was in his thirties, with effeminate eyes, a tall and slender figure, dressed in designer clothes, and a handsome face full of arrogance. He looked at people with a condescending attitude.
The people around him looked at the arrogant young man with fawning expressions.
The young man was named Tang Chen, from the Tang family in the provincial capital. The Tang family was a first-class family, second only to the four major families, so it was natural for everyone to curry favor with him.
In the crowd, Chen Xuan also saw a familiar person, Huo Yuhao's ex-girlfriend Ding Yu.
Chen Xuan had seen this woman in Jiangzhou and had some impression of her.
"Mr. Chen, let's go."
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, turned around, and was about to lead Chen Xuan away from the side.
"Where are you going? Haven't you seen Young Master Tang? Don't you know to greet him? So uncivilized!"
At this moment, someone blocked Huo Yuhao, their face full of mockery.
"Greet him? Humph, why should I?"
Huo Yuhao snorted coldly, "A good dog doesn't block the way!"
"Are you looking for a beating?" The man's face darkened, and he raised his fist.
However, he was stopped by Tang Chen, who narrowed his eyes and stared at Huo Yuhao, "You say why, right?"
Tang Chen sneered a few times and looked at someone in the crowd, his tone full of questioning, "Your Huo family people are so impolite. Don't you, as an elder brother, manage them?"
Huo Yuhao's cousin, Huo Xin, walked out of the crowd, staring at Huo Yuhao with disgust, "Huo Yuhao, how did our Huo family produce someone like you? Hurry up and pay your respects to Young Master Tang!"
"Cousin? Why are you with them?"
Seeing this person, Huo Yuhao's eyes widened, filled with surprise.
The Huo family perished because of the Tang family, and the Huo family was irreconcilably opposed to the Tang family!
He really couldn't understand how his cousin Huo Xin could be involved with Tang Chen.
Huo Xin said coldly, "Don't worry about how I'm with Young Master Tang. As for you, why are you at this kind of auction again? Have you forgotten the trouble you caused a few years ago? Hurry up and apologize to Young Master Tang."
"No..."
Huo Yuhao shook his head firmly.
Huo Xin became angry and questioned Huo Yuhao in an elder brother's tone, with an imposing manner, "Do you want the Huo family to repeat its old mistakes, not even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain? Not even have the qualification to linger in the provincial capital?"
Huo Yuhao trembled, clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes turned red.
Back then, at an auction, it was in this same building, Huo Yuhao fought with someone over an antique vase, offending Young Master Tang. Young Master Tang not only retaliated fiercely against Huo Yuhao, but the entire Huo family was also plunged into abyss because of it.
This incident was unforgettable for Huo Yuhao.
"I would rather die than beg mercy from his executioner!"
Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth, and from between them, word by word, he spat out a few words.
Tang Chen's eyes turned cold, "Courting death..."
Seeing this, Huo Xin quickly smiled apologetically at Tang Chen, "Young Master Tang, this kid is just a cheapskate. Don't bother with him. I'll definitely make him apologize to you."
He wasn't pleading for Huo Yuhao; he was afraid Huo Yuhao would ruin his good deed.
Young Master Tang waved his hand, interrupting Huo Xin.
He turned his gaze to Chen Xuan and said, "Huo Yuhao, you want to know why your cousin is with me, right? Then I'll tell you, I'm planning to build a large amusement park similar to Disneyland. Your Huo family wants me to buy the land where your Huo family ancestral hall is located, to build the amusement park..."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao was struck by lightning.
That piece of land was the ancestral hall of the Huo family, and the ancestors of the Huo family were buried beneath it!
If it were to be built into an amusement park, the ancestors of the Huo family would probably not rest in peace in the underworld!
"How can you sell the ancestral hall of your ancestors? If you die, how will you have the face to see the ancestors of the Huo family?"
Huo Yuhao yelled angrily at Huo Xin.
He hated Young Master Tang, and he also hated the Huo family for their lack of backbone.
Huo Xin's face also turned pale upon hearing this.
He said unwillingly, "It's all because of you. If it weren't for you, how would the Huo family have reached this point? Blame yourself for offending Young Master Tang."
These words felt like needles piercing Huo Yuhao's heart, causing him excruciating pain.
It was his fault, all his fault, that the Huo family had come to this point.
But... but even so, the ancestral hall could not be sold! And it couldn't be sold to the executioner!
Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes, with a hint of mockery, "Huo Yuhao, if you kneel down and beg me now, I can consider buying your Huo family ancestral hall at the auction and not building it into an amusement park."
Upon hearing this, Huo Xin also breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Huo Yuhao, why don't you hurry up and kneel down to beg Young Master Tang."
He also felt ashamed of his ancestors to have the ancestral hall turned into an amusement park.
"Huo Yuhao, haven't you heard Young Master Tang? You haven't knelt down before, so hurry up and kneel down to beg Young Master Tang for mercy. In the future, you will have to thank Young Master Tang." Ding Yu also wanted to curry favor with Young Master Tang and advised.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao was pushed to the edge of a cliff, forced to kneel before Young Master Tang.
He took steps, his pace heavy, as he walked to Young Master Tang.
The disdainful gazes from all around converged on Huo Yuhao, instantly piercing him like a thousand arrows.
His expression was desolate, and his face was filled with despair.
Yes, he had knelt before Young Master Tang right here back then, and kneeling again was nothing... his dignity had been lost in the past few years...
Looking at the man in front of him, Young Master Tang's face was filled with a sinister grin.
And behind him, Ding Yu narrowed her eyes as she saw Huo Yuhao, her face full of disdain.
Fortunately, she had left this man, otherwise she would have been disgraced along with him.
Just as everyone thought Huo Yuhao was about to kneel and beg Young Master Tang again, recreating the scene from years ago!
But at this moment!
A faint voice sounded, "Yuhao, it's just a piece of land, I'll buy it!"
