Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1557 - 1531: A Friendly Reminder

Zhou Jun’s body trembled slightly as he spoke.

"Young Master Xu, none of this has anything to do with me."

Xu Kai glared at him fiercely and said.

"Young Master Zhou, you didn’t play any good role in this either."

Xu Kai vented all his anger on the three people in front of him.

Zhang Shuang was never the type to just take things lying down, and neither Wu Tong nor Zhou Jun had ever been scolded like this by someone.

All three of them looked at Xu Kai, who had lost his mind, and abandoned him.

Xu Kai was already feeling frustrated after being schemed against at the auction, and now seeing his girlfriend and buddies unable to tolerate his temper and leaving him.

He had always been a proud person, and although he wanted to ask them to stay, he was too embarrassed to say anything.

Watching the three of them walk away, Xu Kai felt his blood boil and even spat out a mouthful of blood.

Then he collapsed to the ground, though Zhang Shuang, Zhou Jun, and Wu Tong didn’t see this.

Fortunately, a waiter noticed and dialed 120.

Soon, an ambulance arrived and took Xu Kai away.

On the other side, after the auction ended, Lin Shiyin approached Ye Chen with a smile.

"Ye Chen, I took the liberty of putting your calligraphy up for auction. You’re not mad, are you?"

Ye Chen knew that he had originally given the piece to Lin Shiyin, so it belonged to her, and whatever she did with it was none of his business.

So how could Ye Chen be angry?

"Of course not. In fact, thanks to you, I now know how valuable my writing is."

The two chatted for a few more moments before Lin Shiyin left.

Just then, Yang Mimi also came over with a smile and said.

"Ye Chen, you’re amazing! The calligraphy is almost indistinguishable from the real thing."

Ye Chen was surprised to see this girl come over and felt a bit awkward.

It’s important to know that Su Wanyi was still here, though she was chatting with others and not standing by Ye Chen’s side.

"Mimi, you’re flattering me. I just scribbled something casually."

Perhaps others thought Ye Chen was being modest, which might upset some people.

But Ye Chen, who grasped the true essence of the Two Wangs’ calligraphy, knew he was just stating the facts.

Yang Mimi didn’t say more and just smiled and said.

"Ye Chen, we haven’t seen each other in ages. Let’s have a meal together sometime."

Ye Chen felt it was impolite to refuse in such a setting, especially when the girl was such a big star.

He looked a bit embarrassed and said.

"Okay, I’ll wait for your call."

Of course, Su Wanyi saw all of this, and seeing so many girls taking the initiative to greet Ye Chen made her quite jealous.

If they were ordinary people, it might have been different, but one of them was Lin Shiyin, the eldest daughter of the Lin Family, and the other a top film star.

She couldn’t understand how Ye Chen managed to be involved with these two beauties.

Su Wanyi even wondered in her heart if Ye Chen had been flirting around.

After the two girls left, Ye Chen heaved a sigh of relief.

Then came Sun Bolin, who looked at Ye Chen with resignation and said.

"Mr. Ye, I’m really ashamed I couldn’t get that piece."

Ye Chen knew Elder Sun was telling the truth; otherwise, he wouldn’t have placed a bid at the beginning.

Seeing Elder Sun’s frustrated expression, Ye Chen said.

"It’s okay, Elder Sun, when I have time later, I’ll write you another one."

Sun Bolin smiled upon hearing this.

That was precisely the effect he wanted, to gain sympathy in front of Ye Chen.

According to his understanding of Ye Chen, if he asked directly, it wouldn’t work—only if Ye Chen volunteered.

One has to admit, older folks are indeed wiser.

"Mr. Ye, thank you so much. Once you’ve finished, call me, and I’ll pick it up myself."

Sun Bolin said with a smile.

Ye Chen nodded silently.

After Sun Bolin left, Yan Peng came over.

"Brother Chen, I didn’t expect you to attend today’s charity event. I recall you don’t like crowded places."

Yan Peng looked at Ye Chen and asked.

Ye Chen pointed behind him at Su Wanyi and said.

"That’s the reason."

"Oh, I see, bro."

Yan Peng replied with a knowing smirk.

Since he couldn’t see Su Wanyi’s face, he thought Ye Chen had found a new girlfriend.

Ye Chen didn’t understand why Yan Peng reacted that way, but he didn’t bother to ask.

Su Wanyi turned her head to Ye Chen and said.

"Ye Chen, shall we go?"

When Yan Peng saw Su Wanyi, he was surprised and said.

"Brother Chen, it’s sister-in-law, huh?"

Su Wanyi smiled at Yan Peng and said.

"Young Master Yan, who else did you think it would be? Seems like your brother Chen has quite a few women around him, huh."

This comment made Ye Chen a bit awkward; he glared at Yan Peng, thinking this guy really doesn’t know how to talk.

"No, sister-in-law, I meant you look even more beautiful now. I didn’t recognize you at first."

Su Wanyi glanced at Yan Peng and said.

"Oh, so I misunderstood your words."

"Yes, sister-in-law, you definitely misunderstood. Brother Chen doesn’t have any other women around him."

Yan Peng quickly said.

Su Wanyi said nothing more; she knew Yan Peng would certainly take Ye Chen’s side.

"Ye Chen, you carry on chatting with Young Master Yan. I’ll wait for you outside."

Su Wanyi said, looking at Ye Chen.

"Okay, sure."

Ye Chen nodded with a smile.

After Su Wanyi left, Yan Peng looked at Ye Chen and said.

"Brother Chen, is sister-in-law mad?"

"What do you think? You really don’t know how to talk, do you?"

Ye Chen replied, not too pleased.

"Brother Chen, I’m sorry, I messed up. Will you have to kneel on a washboard when you get home?"

Yan Peng said with a mischievous smile.

Ye Chen was speechless at his words; this guy just doesn’t know how to speak properly.

But since he had supported him just now, Ye Chen didn’t have much to say.

"Yeah, yeah, I really got into trouble because of you."

Ye Chen said with a blank expression.

Then he looked at Yan Peng with gratitude and said.

"Young Master Yan, thank you so much for bidding such a high price."

"Brother Chen, why are you so polite with me? I can’t stand people like Xu Kai. Just because they have some money, they think they’re something. You and I earn our money through hard work, whereas Xu Kai just relies on his dad, and that’s the most contemptible."

Yan Peng expressed his opinion about Xu Kai.

Then he continued with a serious face.

"Brother Chen, I know Xu Kai too well. You embarrassed him in public; he won’t let this go easily. You’d better be careful these days."

Ye Chen knew Yan Peng wasn’t exaggerating, but Ye Chen was no pushover either.

If Xu Kai dared seek revenge, Ye Chen wouldn’t be afraid and certainly wouldn’t show mercy.
