Chapter 190: Chapter 190 Regret
“Aunt!”
Ling Guihai hurriedly greeted, “These are all my friends.”
All the elites showed their respect, “Vice President Chen.”
Chen Luoyue frowned.
She had asked her nephew to come alone, so why did he invite so many friends?
With such noise, what if they disturbed Jiang Fan?
“Guihai, you weren’t making noise here, were you?”
She carefully glanced at Jiang Fan and noticed his displeased expression, causing her heart to skip a beat.
Ling Guihai found it amusing.
Wasn’t Jiang Fan supposed to be untamed?
Retribution came just in time!
He maintained a serious face, “Aunt, my friends are very well-behaved and did not make any noise.”
Chen Luoyue felt relieved.

Then she became perplexed again.
If that was the case, why did Jiang Fan look unhappy?
Ling Guihai’s next words left her cold as ice.
“The one making noise is this person named Jiang Fan!”
Ling Guihai sneered and glanced at Jiang Fan, “It’s bad enough that he shamelessly followed me in.”
“He wouldn’t listen to instructions!”
“I told him not to touch things, and he kept touching everything!”
“And he had the audacity to sit on the jade-carved bench! Does he have any self-awareness?”
Hearing this, Chen Luoyue’s heart sank.
But the next words made her feel even worse.
“Do you know what’s even more ridiculous, Aunt?”
Ling Guihai couldn’t help but laugh, “I told him to get out, and guess what?”
“He said we were the noisy ones and told us to get out!”
“Isn’t that ridiculous?”
The elites around laughed out loud.
“Vice President Chen, I can testify that Junior Brother Ling is telling the truth.”
“This person is indeed absurd, acting as if he owns the private box.”
Liu Qingxian looked apologetic.
She hurriedly said, “Vice President Chen, my junior brother is not usually like this. Please…”
Her plea was interrupted by Ji Ruyue’s cold sneer, “Why waste so many words?”
“Why not just kick him out?”
“Is this a place he can stay?”
However.
No sooner had she finished speaking than Chen Luoyue’s sharp gaze fell upon her, and she slapped her furiously!
“Shut up!” Chen Luoyue was infuriated.
She had painstakingly arranged for the top private box just to treat Jiang Fan well.
And yet, these people with no discernment had the audacity to mock Jiang Fan!
Utterly outrageous!
Ji Ruyue was stunned, covering her cheek, and looked at Ling Guihai in confusion.
Her eyes were filled with grievance.
Ling Guihai was also astonished, “Aunt, why did you hit my friend?”
“The one who deserves to be hit is that scoundrel Jiang Fan…”
Slap—
A slap, several times fiercer than the previous one, landed hard on Ling Guihai’s face!
Chen Luoyue gritted her teeth in anger and scolded, “Ling Guihai! You’re a good-for-nothing!”
She had wanted to give him a chance since he was her nephew.
If Ling Guihai performed well, perhaps Ling Jia could climb up like Wen Shengnan and latch onto a Great Soul Master!
But what had this brat done?
Bringing along a bunch of dubious friends to disturb Jiang Fan’s enjoyment was bad enough.
And he even led the slander!
Calling Jiang Fan a scoundrel?
“Aunt, you…” Ling Guihai covered his face in disbelief.
How could his aunt hit him too?
Chen Luoyue was furious, “Young Master Jiang is a distinguished guest I invited!”
“I asked you to serve him tea, to take good care of him!”
“What have you done?”
Her voice echoed in the empty private box, reverberating continuously.
Everyone stood as stiff as wooden stakes, unable to believe their ears.
The distinguished guest Chen Luoyue mentioned was really Jiang Fan!
Earlier, Wen Shengnan had allowed them to enter not because Ling Guihai was in trouble, but because Jiang Fan had given permission.
And Jiang Fan could act freely here.
Because the private box belonged to him.
After scolding her niece, Chen Luoyue nervously approached Jiang Fan and apologized, “Young Master Jiang, I apologize for my nephew’s behavior.”
“I’ll have Wen Shengnan come to serve you.”
Jiang Fan waved his hand, “No need for special attendants.”
“Just have them all leave.”
Chen Luoyue turned to the dazed Ling Guihai, her frustration growing.
“Are you deaf? Take your friends and get out!”
“You’ve ruined everything, and from now on, don’t call me your aunt!”
“I don’t have such a disappointing nephew!”
Ling Guihai’s throat felt blocked, and he couldn’t utter a word.
Like a piece of wood, he stiffly moved to leave.
The other elites also left in disgrace.
It turned out they were in there because of Jiang Fan.
Yet they had mocked him repeatedly.
Ji Ruyue bit her red lip, looking at Jiang Fan. She wanted to approach him, but Chen Luoyue’s glare stopped her.
Reluctantly, she had to leave for now.
She was extremely annoyed, what was she thinking?
How could she be wrong about the same person twice?
She wished she could slap herself!
After clearing everyone out, Chen Luoyue apologized profusely again.
Jiang Fan said, “Forget it, it wasn’t your fault.”
“Moreover, you had good intentions, so how can I blame you?”
Saying this, he took out three Revitalizing Pills.
“If these pills can be auctioned, extend my thanks.”
Chen Luoyue, with her keen gaze, immediately recognized the unusual quality of the spirit pills and accepted them with joy.
“Very well, I’ll have them appraised first.”
“If they are valuable, I’ll ensure they go to auction for you.”
When the room finally only had two people left.
Liu Qingxian could no longer suppress her immense curiosity.
“Jiang Fan, how come you’re the owner of the top private box?”
Jiang Fan took out Chen Luoyue’s invitation, smiling in exasperation, “How would I know?”
“I was suddenly given this top private box.”
“Had I known it would cause so much trouble, I wouldn’t have come.”
Liu Qingxian examined the invitation, equally puzzled.
“It doesn’t make sense, even if you offered the Gale Pearl as an auction item, you should be considered just a significant client.”
“Why are they giving you such special treatment?”
“This high level of honor is almost like that for a sect master.”
She glanced at the top-grade spiritual tea on the table, commenting.
Jiang Fan smiled and patted the seat next to him, “Well, since we’re here, let’s just enjoy it.”
Liu Qingxian gave Jiang Fan a deep look.
Deciding not to overthink, she picked up her skirt and happily sat on the jade-carved bench.
Through the crystal glass at the front, she had a clear view of everything on the auction stage.
Backstage.
The auction staff were busy with the final preparations.
President Tian Shijun was checking the auction items that were about to go up.
Su Xiangquan and Chen Luoyue’s collected items were separate, as they would host the auction themselves later.
After a quick assessment, Tian Shijun said, “It seems Vice President Su’s auction items will fetch a higher total this time.”
Accompanying him, Su Xiangquan stroked his beard and smiled, “Vice President Chen just happened to have a client with good stuff this time.”
“How can that compare to my extensive network?”
Tian Shijun nodded slightly in approval, “The older, the wiser.”
“Your pre-prepared Healing Pills will be the hot items at this auction and will fetch a good price.”
Su Xiangquan boasted, “I had planned for this day long before the Beast Tide appeared.”
“So I collected the best third-grade Healing Spirit Pills from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.”
“Now, anyone who wants to buy them can only get them from me.”
Tian Shijun was very pleased.
Although Su Xiangquan was domineering, his abilities were undisputed.
Compared to him, Chen Luoyue seemed a bit too inexperienced.
She would find it hard to compete with Su Xiangquan.
Before long, when he retired from the presidency, Su Xiangquan would undoubtedly be the best candidate for the position.
At that moment.
Chen Luoyue came running in excitedly, “President! I obtained three spirit pills. Could you appraise them?”
Oh?
Tian Shijun frowned, “The auction is about to start.”
Every auction item was meticulously selected.
Including these three pills into the auction would mean excluding an item.
Su Xiangquan laughed confidently, “President, let’s take a look at them.”
“I’d like to see what quality pills she found at the last minute.”
“Appraise them and let her give up.”
Tian Shijun sighed, “Alright, let me see.”
“But I must say, if they aren’t top-level pills, there is no need to auction them. We don’t want to disrupt…”
He couldn’t finish the sentence.
Seeing the three green pills in Chen Luoyue’s palm, he froze.
