Chapter 502: Chapter 498: Unbearably Vulgar (First Update, Please Subscribe)
In Xia Jinsheng’s eyes.
It must be because Ye Chen is handsome, that’s why Su Wanyi is with him.
He sneered, "Wanyi, look at your boyfriend, attending a gala and still needs connections. Society today values strength, not looks. Don’t be happy for a moment and regret it for a lifetime."
Su Wanyi coldly glanced at Xia Jinsheng and snorted, "I just like DiDi drivers, it’s none of your business, and my life doesn’t need your concern."
Xia Jinsheng sighed, his expression full of regret.
A group of celebrities walked into the museum together.
This time, the museum specially opened several exclusive galleries that are usually never open to attract the elite to attend.
Entering the museum, a tour guide dressed in a cheongsam provided explanations to the celebrities.
"Honored guests, we have also prepared some rare antiques for you, like the Ming Dynasty’s Blue and White Porcelain and ancient Han Dynasty swords, which are usually not on display. The value of these treasures is around two billion; I believe you will feast your eyes."
Hearing the explanation, everyone on-site gasped.
Worthy of the big shots, having such a collection.
The owner of this museum received even more amazement from the crowd.
Although these celebrities have money, collecting so many rare treasures is virtually impossible.
Xia Jinsheng snorted, "Boy, did you see that? The world of the rich is beyond your imagination."
Ye Chen calmly said, "Who are you trying to impress? Are these treasures yours?"
"You!"
Ye Chen continued, "These are treasures of Chinese heritage; it’s not about money. Only shallow people link these treasures with money."
"What did you say?" Xia Jinsheng was instantly furious when he heard Ye Chen call him shallow.
Beside them, Bi Tingting also started shouting: "What does a DiDi driver know about artifacts, pretending here?"
Ye Chen continued, "Please be quiet. Appreciating these Chinese treasures requires viewing their historical value with reverence, not discussing their price, understand?"
Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Xia Jinsheng and Bi Tingting were left speechless.
They wanted to retort, but Ye Chen’s words were irrefutable, giving them no chance to argue.
The celebrities beside them also began to look at Ye Chen with newfound respect.
Even though Ye Chen is a DiDi driver, what he said was quite reasonable.
After all, none of the people here lack money, but Xia Jinsheng and Bi Tingting constantly bringing up money indeed seemed too vulgar.
"What’s wrong with talking about money? These treasures are just very valuable!" Bi Tingting argued.
At this point, Xia Jinsheng felt disgraced and shouted at Bi Tingting, "Enough, shut up for me."
Having been put in his place by Ye Chen, Xia Jinsheng was also feeling humiliated.
Especially comparing Bi Tingting’s unsophisticated manner to Su Wanyi’s, the difference became increasingly stark, leaving Xia Jinsheng quite vexed.
Bi Tingting’s face was full of grievance, "What’s wrong with what I said? These treasures are indeed very valuable."
She even squeezed out a few tears in her grievance.
The other guests who witnessed this scene all looked on with disdain.
It’s obvious to everyone that Bi Tingting is just a yokel who hasn’t seen the world.
Su Wanyi sighed as she looked at the treasures, "The loss of these treasures overseas is such a pity. Thankfully, Elder Lu brought them back with his life’s work, giving us a chance to appreciate these Chinese treasures."
The celebrities present all nodded at Su Wanyi’s words.
"Miss Su is right; these treasures represent the culture of Hua Country and cannot be measured by money."
"Some people are really unbearably vulgar, not having the qualifications to attend this exhibition at all."
"Exactly, so uncultured; only Miss Su’s insights are deep and meaningful."
Hearing these words, Bi Tingting was about to explode with anger.
The tour guide continued the explanation, and the celebrities were greatly impressed.
Though these treasures couldn’t compare with some countries’ museums, there were many rare treasures on display.
Leaving these celebrities extremely satisfied.
"I heard there’s an auction tonight, really looking forward to it."
"Haha, I heard all the money from this auction will be donated to the Hope Project. This is doing good deeds; we should have more such auctions," a celebrity sighed.
"Indeed, I really admire this museum’s owner, so noble-minded, truly our model."
Hearing all this praise, even Ye Chen himself felt a bit embarrassed.
These big shots are not lacking money, and their eyes shine when they see these exhibits.
The tour guide smiled faintly, "Ladies and gentlemen, don’t get any ideas about these treasures; they are our museum pieces, not for sale."
The celebrities were somewhat disappointed.
After the tour, the auction began.
Xia Jinsheng glanced at Ye Chen, a look of excitement in his eyes.
He had been waiting for a chance to put Ye Chen in his place, and now the opportunity had come.
Xia Jinsheng had already planned to donate more money at the auction and then ridicule Ye Chen harshly.
Bi Tingting also sat excitedly next to Xia Jinsheng.
Her peripheral vision was fixed on Ye Chen.
Wait and see, watch how my man crushes you.
Ye Chen sat with Su Wanyi in an inconspicuous corner.
Xia Jinsheng spoke pompously, "Being able to contribute to the Hope Project is our responsibility as rich people, yet some people here have no money and still have the gall to sit here. If I were him, I would have left already."
The celebrities present all knew Xia Jinsheng was referring to Ye Chen.
Everyone turned their gaze towards Ye Chen.
However, Ye Chen remained indifferent, whispering with Su Wanyi.
Xia Jinsheng felt like he was punching a soft cushion, getting no satisfaction.
Especially seeing Ye Chen and Su Wanyi behaving intimately made his face turn livid with anger.
At this time, Elder Lu walked onto the auction stage.
He stood on the stage, about to speak, when he noticed Ye Chen sitting in the corner.
Elder Lu paused: "Didn’t the boss say to keep a low profile and not come?"
Ye Chen also saw Elder Lu noticing him, then winked.
Elder Lu, being a clever man, understood.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please be patient as we still have some preparations to make; just wait a moment."
Saying this, Elder Lu stepped down from the auction stage.
Meanwhile, Ye Chen also told Su Wanyi he was going to the restroom and left his seat.
"Boss, do you really want to do this?"
Ye Chen nodded, "Rest assured, I think contributing to the Hope Project is a responsibility we should fulfill."
Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Elder Lu nodded, "Alright, Boss Ye, we’ll do as you say."
Elder Lu returned to the auction stage, and the auction officially began.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have decided to auction off two rare treasures today, both of which are usually not for sale from our collection."
Hearing Elder Lu’s words, the place was in an uproar.
All the big shots’ eyes lit up, especially Xia Jinsheng, who was particularly excited, turning his gaze towards Su Wanyi.
