When the crowd looked at Chang Ying again, her face was ashen. There was not a trace of blood on her lips, which were even paler than the light.

  The crowd couldn’t help but remember the antique vase that Chen Xiu had presented to President Chen before but was rejected by him. They then looked at Chang Ying with a bit of sarcasm in their eyes.

  Chang Ying’s boyfriend had lost to President Chen, and now, in order to support his artists, he was spending a lot of money to buy the final auction item.

  President Chen had once slapped Chen Xiu in the face, and Chang Ying was Chen Xiu’s girlfriend. Now, she was also slapped in the face by President Chen. After Chang Ying came here today, ever since she tried to compete with Ye Sui, she had been a joke!

  With everybody watching her, Chang Ying’s face reddened with shame. She really wanted to dig a hole and hide.

  Chang Ying regretted coming here tonight. She didn’t get any benefit and was laughed at by others instead.

  Still, Chang Ying’s thoughts were not messed up. She was puzzled when she thought of President Chen’s behavior. Why did President Chen give Ye Sui a high-priced jadeite bracelet?

  What was his relationship with Ye Sui?

  Suddenly, Chang Ying’s heart welled up with fear and panic.

  Many different thoughts flashed in Chang Ying’s mind. Chen Shu, President Chen, their last names were the same, they were concerned about Ye Sui, and they were very low-key……

  There were too many similarities, and Chang Ying’s heart hid a most frightening suspicion.

  She remembered Ye Sui saying that Chen Shu had a private jet. What kind of financial resources would be able to afford to buy a private jet?

  She and Chen Xiu had speculated about Chen Shu’s investment. Why was he rich beyond all of their wildest dreams?

  Chang Ying also recalled one more thing: Chen Xiu had once mentioned to her that when he went to Huarui one day, he had seen Qin Xin talking to a person whose figure was familiar.

  They had thought of countless possibilities but never once linked Chen Shu with Huarui’s President Chen.

  Today, all of their impossible conjectures were vaguely clustered together, and finally, they all converge into the most incredible and incomprehensible result.

  Chen Shu, Chen Xiu’s ill-fated uncle, a useless person, and someone they had always looked down on, turned out to be Huarui’s low-key, never-showing president, President Chen!

  This incident was like a bolt from the blue for Chang Ying, and it had slapped her right on the face.

  Recalling what she had done to Chen Shu and Ye Sui, Chang Ying arrived at a desperate conclusion: she was finished.

  The auction was over, and the crowd left one after another. Ye Sui was also about to get in Xiao Liu’s car and leave. At this time, her cell phone rang; it was a call from Chen Shu.

  Ye Sui’s lips curved into a smile as she picked up the call. Chen Shu’s voice sounded from the speaker. “Miss Ye, are you satisfied with the bracelet I gave you?”


  The last few words were said in a slightly raised tone, as if smiling.

  Ye Sui also smiled. So, Chen Shu also had this side to him. Her eyes brightened in response. “There’s nothing I am unsatisfied with.”


  Chen Shu’s breathing was gentle, as if brushing Ye Sui’s ear across the phone.

  He smiled softly. “I’ll wait for you at an intersection up ahead.”


  At this time, the people in the auction hall were all gone. Ye Sui walked out of the hall and asked Xiao Liu to drop her at the next intersection.

  Xiao Liu did as instructed and drove away. As Ye Sui took a few steps forward, she saw a black car parked there. She immediately recognized that it was Chen Shu’s car.

  At this time, the driver’s door opened, and Chen Shu got out of the car. He walked towards Ye Sui, step by step. His legs were long, and with every step he took, his feet cast a long shadow.

  Seeing Chen Shu, Ye Sui’s mood unconsciously became pleasant. She raised her head and seriously stared at Chen Shu.

  In the silent winter night, the leaves rustled.

  Light and shadow flickered across Chen Shu’s face. From his deep eyes to the straight nose bridge, the light finally converged on the corners of his perfectly curved lips.

  Chen Shu stood in the dark, yet he seemed to brighten up the darkness around him. Light and shadow poured from everywhere, and he was the brightest of them all.

  His every subtle movement, even if it was just a squint, was reflected in Ye Sui’s eyes. It was so clear and vivid.
