The Crippled Boss Loves Me

Chapter 147: Flames of Jealousy

Wei Yong wanted to continue bidding, but a fair hand suddenly stopped him. Shen Hanxing said calmly, “This price has already far exceeded the original price of the pair of earrings. CEO Wei, don’t waste any more money. You should look at other things instead.”

Wei Yong’s heart shook. He smiled as he put away the paddle and said, “Alright then, I’ll listen to you, Ms. Shen.”

The others did not raise their bidding paddles as well. This intense competition had finally come to an end. They allowed this pair of earrings that had agitated everyone here to be snatched away by an unknown boss of a small company.

“Phew,” Ji Mei held her chest and let out a long breath. Her face was filled with a sense of relief. In just a few short minutes, she actually felt as if she had survived a disaster. However, after this matter had come to an end, she painfully realized how much money she had to fork out. But it didn’t matter. The money was still hers after they completed a couple of procedures.

“Id*ot!” Cheng Songyang looked at his stupid mother and sister with an ambiguous glint in his eyes. Then, he got up and left.

After Cheng Songyang left, Cheng Liu finally couldn’t hold back the dissatisfaction in her heart. She said angrily, “Mom, look at Brother. Does he still treat us as his family?”

“Xiao Liu, your brother has been under a lot of pressure recently.” Ji Mei’s face did not look too good either. However, she still helped to find an excuse for Cheng Songyang. “You should be more sensible. Don’t disturb him too much.” Today, it was because of her daughter’s words that there were so many twists and turns. She thought that she would be able to earn another 26 million dollars. However, with the words Cheng Liu uttered today, all the money was gone. Ji Mei also lost her usual patience with her daughter. Ji Mei simply gave a few words of advice and left to socialize, leaving a dissatisfied Cheng Liu sitting where she was.

The items that were to be auctioned next were all auctioned as per normal. There was nothing attractive about them. Ji Yan’s current status naturally did not need to be displayed by the price of the item he had offered for auction. After his watch went through the procedures and was auctioned off, the ordinary auction was also coming to an end.

Cheng Dong walked over to Shen Hanxing with the wrapped earrings. When his gaze fell on Ji Yan, he timidly crouched. Then, he obediently handed over the earrings with an apologetic smile. He said, “A gentleman does not snatch away what others love. I’ll return this pair of earrings to the original owner now.”

“This is not appropriate, right?” Shen Hanxing’s eyes flashed. “After all, you spent a lot of money to buy these, CEO Cheng.”

“I am an uncultured person. I am unable to appreciate this jewelry,” Cheng Dong smiled and said, “So it is also a waste to put these things with me. Only when it is in your possession can it be considered to be worth more than what it is valued. Ms. Shen, please accept them as a small token of my appreciation.”

Shen Hanxing smiled and declined a couple of times before taking it with a smile. Because of his guilty conscience, Cheng Dong did not dare to stay in front of Ji Yan any longer. After exchanging a few simple pleasantries, he left in a hurry.

After the banquet ended, everyone was talking about how Shen Hanxing had not paid anything. And yet, that pair of earrings had triggered a fight between the big shots, and in the end, the earrings had fallen back into Shen Hanxing’s hands. It could be said that she had gained both fame and fortune in this auction. How could such a good thing happen in this world?!

When Ji Mei heard these discussions, she gritted her teeth. She had spent a lot of effort organizing the banquet and the auction. But in the end, she had actually given Shen Hanxing the opportunity to shine here. Now that everyone had remembered Shen Hanxing, how many people still remembered her?

The Shen family.

Shen Sisi saw the news about the auction. When she saw Shen Hanxing, who occupied an important page in the auction article, she threw the newspaper angrily. “Mom, look at what these news are blindly reporting! Shen Hanxing is just a b*tch from the slums, a b*tch who didn’t even graduate from high school. And they think she deserves so much attention!”

All this attention should have been hers! Looking at the photo of Ji Yan putting earrings on Shen Hanxing who was squatting in front of him, Shen Sisi was so jealous that her eyes were red.

This man, the one that should have been her husband... The rumors said that he had become depressed because of his handicapped legs and was a useless man who did not dare to face anyone after the incident. However, the rumors were completely wrong. Instead, in that photo, he looked handsome and dignified like a god from the skies.

But now, this man was no longer hers!

If...if she had not run away from the marriage back then... if she had not asked Shen Hanxing to marry in her place, and Shen Sisi was the one who married him instead... then this man who all the socialites wanted to marry... would he pamper her to the heavens?

At this moment, jealousy had completely consumed Shen Sisi’s rationality.

“She simply married a cripple,” Jiang Jingqiu curled her lips in disdain. “Cheng Songyang is managing the Ji Corporation now. When the Ji Corporation is completely in Cheng Songyang’s hands, do you think Shen Hanxing will still be arrogant?”
