Chapter 90: Don’t Want To Cause Trouble
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At 2 o’clock in the afternoon, a taxi stopped in front of the entrance to the Millennium Hotel in River City.
The car door opened and Ye Chen, who was dressed in a suit, stepped out.
He was not stupid enough to wear his normal attire to the auction, or he would be messed with wherever he went.
“Since I’m wearing this today, nothing should happen, right?”
Ye Chen walked toward the main door and soon saw the worried-looking Zhu Zixuan standing at the door in a daze.
Today, Zhu Zixuan was dressed very casually. Moreover, she had dark circles under her eyes and looked haggard.
He walked over and said, “Why are you in such a daze? Let’s go.”
…..
Zhu Zixuan came back to her senses and quickly said respectfully, “Mr. Ye, you’re here…”
This time, she did not dare to be disrespectful to Ye Chen. After all, her master and grandfather had reminded her about this many times. From their tone, she now knew how terrifying Ye Chen was. Moreover, with so many things happening in the family recently, she had gradually learned to restrain herself.
Ye Chen and Zhu Zixuan handed their invitations over to the security guards and successfully entered the auction venue.
The Millennium Hotel was different from the generic high-end hotels; it was more like a private club. The overall interior decor seemed to have been inspired by Huaxian-styled architecture, with elements of flowers and flowing water all around. This gave the place a different look and feel.
The two of them found a sofa and sat down.
“Mr. Ye, now that we’ve entered the auction venue, there is some time allocated for social interaction. The real auction will be held upstairs in two hours. Let’s sit here for a while and have some snacks.” Zhu Zixuan said in a serious tone.
Ye Chen’s eyes swept across the entire hall. Most of the people present were gathered in groups of five or six, drinking red wine and chatting amongst themselves. The men were dressed in suits and leather shoes, while the women were dressed in formal dresses, looking rather alluring.
Ye Chen had never been interested in such high-class banquets. This was also one of the reasons he was such a loner.
Zhu Zixuan saw that the atmosphere had become a little awkward, so she said, “Mr. Ye, do you know anyone here? If you do, you can go over and chat with them.”
Ye Chen shook his head. “There’s no need, but if you have friends present, you can go look for them.”
After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and seemed to be preparing to rest.
Just as Zhu Zixuan was about to say something, a few boys and girls holding wine glasses sauntered over. One of the girls even held Zhu Zixuan’s hand and said in surprise, “Zixuan, you’re here!”
When Zhu Zixuan saw the girl, she put on a forced smile. This girl was River City’s famous ‘social butterfly’, Lu Siyu.
Lu Siyu was recognized as a beauty in their social circle. Her family background was not bad, she was familiar with almost everyone, and her ability to socialize was excellent. Basically, wherever she was, there would be a crowd of boys around her.
Lu Siyu had dressed up meticulously today. This was clearly in preparation to get to know more young talents at the auction venue.
“Eh, why are you the only one here? That’s right, your Zhu family can’t even protect itself now.” An untimely voice suddenly chimed in.
Zhu Zixuan turned around and naturally noticed the man who spoke.
Liu Weicheng was the only son of the Liu family. The Liu family’s status in River City was not low, and their family’s financial strength was very high. If they could recruit a martial arts master, they would definitely become one of the top families in River City.
There was a huge difference in the statuses of the Zhu family and the Liu family and, because the two families often clashed in business, conflict often erupted whenever members of the two families met each other.
There were also a few young men and women who were from high-status families in River City present here.
Due to their similar age, these people formed their own little circle at the auction venue.
Zhu Zixuan glared at Liu Weicheng and did not say anything. She just drank her wine.
Lu Siyu naturally noticed Ye Chen, who still had his eyes closed, and asked curiously, “Zixuan, who is this…”
Zhu Zixuan knew that Ye Chen did not like to be disturbed, so she could only explain, “He’s a guest of our Zhu family. He’s interested in the auction today, so he came to take a look. He’s resting now, so let’s not disturb him.”
Lu Siyu looked at Ye Chen with interest. For some reason, she felt that he looked familiar, so she said, “Zixuan, since he’s your guest, he’s also part of our circle.”
“Then… Handsome, are you really not going to introduce yourself?”
Her last sentence was obviously meant for Ye Chen.
Lu Siyu’s voice was very sweet and soft, and ordinary boys would not be able to resist the sound of her voice.
As expected, Ye Chen opened his eyes and swept them over the group, his expression indifferent.
“I’m not part of the same circle as you guys, so there’s no need for an introduction.”
As soon as he finished speaking, it was not only Lu Siyu who was stunned, but everyone else as well.
They had been in River City for so long and had never seen such an arrogant fellow.
Lu Siyu’s appearance and figure could be ranked among the top ten in River City. How could he reject the invitation of such a beautiful woman without hesitation?
This was too absurd!
Did he think it would take a long time to introduce himself?
More importantly, the other party’s tone of voice made it seem as if they were not worthy of knowing his name.
Liu Weicheng quickly stood in front of Lu Siyu and grabbed her white arm. He asked in concern, “Siyu, why are you paying attention to this guy? He’s clearly a shameless person.”
Lu Siyu laughed and pretended to grab the red wine, breaking free from Liu Weicheng’s grasp.
Liu Weicheng was a little upset. His gaze fell directly on Ye Chen and he said coldly, “Brat, who the f*ck do you think you are? Get this straight, we’re giving you face by asking you to introduce yourself!”
Ye Chen shook his head helplessly. He really did not want to argue with this spoiled young master. It would be unbefitting of his status to do so. He stood up, put his hands in his pockets, and turned around to leave.
From Liu Weicheng’s perspective, it was obvious that the other party had admitted defeat. He noticed from the corner of his eye that Lu Siyu was looking in their direction, and his desire to show off became even stronger.
He reached out and grabbed Ye Chen, who was about to leave, and shouted, “You want to leave? Did I f*cking let you leave?! You can leave, but first you have to apologize to Siyu!”
At this moment, Liu Weicheng felt that he was extremely cool. He even fantasized that Lu Siyu’s heart was already full of love, and perhaps he could even get Lu Siyu into bed tonight.
When Zhu Zixuan saw this, her expression changed drastically. She knew Ye Chen’s character very well! Even his own grandfather had to serve him attentively. Liu Weicheng’s status meant nothing to him!
However, the Zhu family was in a dangerous situation right now. At this critical moment, she definitely could not afford to make more enemies for the Zhu family. She could only attempt to persuade them with words, “Liu Weicheng, let go! Mr. Ye is not someone you can afford to offend!”
Mr. Ye?
Who in River City had the surname Ye?
The only family surnamed Ye had been destroyed five years ago!
What was there to be afraid of?
Liu Weicheng sneered, “This f*cking son of a b*tch…”
Before he could finish, Ye Chen decided not to hold back any more.
He did not want to cause trouble, so he had chosen not to mingle with these people.
He did not want to cause trouble, so he had chosen to leave immediately.
However, some people were destined to die, so there was no need for him to endure their repeated insults.
The very next second, Ye Chen’s right hand grabbed Liu Weicheng’s arm. Then, he pressed down hard!
Everyone heard a ’crack’ sound. Liu Weicheng’s arm had been broken!
It was sticking out at an absurd angle!
Liu Weicheng had not expected the other party to suddenly break his arm, and the intense pain made him howl!
Lu Siyu and the others covered their mouths in shock.
However, this was far from over. Ye Chen raised his right leg and kicked Liu Weicheng’s body!
Bang!
Liu Weicheng’s body crashed to the ground. His head was spinning, and his face was covered in blood!
“You son of a b*tch!
II
Liu Weicheng roared in anger, but Ye Chen did not give him the chance to continue.
“Your mouth is far too dirty. You should refrain from speaking at all in the future.”
The cold voice sounded almost like a death sentence.
Ye Chen grabbed Liu Weicheng’s neck and smashed his face into the tempered glass table!
Liu Weicheng’s mouth was the first thing that hit the table!
All of his teeth were broken!
He even spat out large mouthfuls of blood!
Zhu Zixuan’s face was pale. She quickly grabbed Ye Chen’s hand and pleaded, “Mr. Ye, don’t…”
…..
Ye Chen glanced at Zhu Zixuan, his gaze unmoved.
Not even the King of Hell could stop him from doing what he wanted to do!
He lifted up Liu Weicheng and once again smashed his face into the cracked glass table!
Clang! Clang!
With a loud bang, the tempered glass table shattered!
