CHAPTER 445: CHAPTER 445: LIN YARU’S RESENTMENTS AND GRATITUDE

No matter what kind of goods came up after, Ye Chen actually lost interest. He had been carefully observing Yang Wenyu.

"What’s wrong? Look at this necklace; it’s pretty lovely, isn’t it? Moreover, it’s said to have come over from England during the 18th century."

Lin Yaru nudged Ye Chen, and at this moment, he looked back and saw that the auction item now should be the last one.

Moreover, he saw that it was adorned with a red gemstone.

The starting bid was still 5 million.

In the end, it also sold for 10 million, successfully here.

But really, for these antiques and jewelry, Ye Chen has never been particularly interested.

When he looked back again, he found that Yang Wenyu had already disappeared from here.

Probably skulked off in defeat.

Ye Chen could only helplessly shake his head as there was nothing he could do about this matter.

The entire auction has ended smoothly. He stood up and then saw Li Fu with a smile at the exit.

"Congratulations, Mr. Li. This time, you’ve got what you wished for."

"Haha, I’ve said that it could indeed fetch a hundred million, but I didn’t expect it would go for so much more. It seems we’ve reaped a bountiful harvest this time."

"Indeed, by the way Mr. Li, do you know that Yang Wenyu?"

Yang Wenyu? I know him, haven’t we met him before? What’s up?"

"Is he very interested in your vase?"

"Not that he’s interested in my vase. Let me tell you, anyone who sees this vase would definitely be very interested. After all, it’s a real treasure, and anyone who knows a little would recognize its value."

"No, I mean, for him, does this vase have any special significance? Or would he have to get it back no matter what?"

"I’m not sure about that, but do you know Yang Wenyu’s family background?"

"I’m not sure, didn’t you say he was just a rich second generation?"

"He shouldn’t be called a second generation. We should strictly refer to him as a third generation since his family business is controlled by his grandfather."

"Controlled by his grandfather? Then where is his father?"

"His father is just acting as a deputy, and he doesn’t really have any say. The whole family is entirely under the old man’s control."

"That old man, he must be pretty capable. I guess he’s about 30-something years old, right? If that’s the case, the old man must be quite old at this time, right?"

"This year, he must be in his 70s, nearly 80."

"My goodness, that’s impressive. To control the whole family business at the age of 80... Is their family business really that big?"

"They are in the real estate business, so the family enterprise is very big. Moreover, they are now a listed company, holding 57% of the shares in the company."

"They must be the largest shareholder then."

"Yes, they should be. But as far as I know, among the third generation, Yang Wenyu has the highest reputation, and many people think he is determined to inherit the position."

"Then do you think he wanted to take this opportunity to put on a good show for his grandfather?"

"I guess so, but this time, he obviously failed. Alright, let’s not worry about that now. Tonight, I’ll treat you two to a good dinner."

"Haha, no need. I know you’re happy to have made so much money, but after all, it’s what you deserve."

"What, you’re being polite with me?"

Just then, Ye Chen suddenly saw two people running over there in a panic.

The observant Ye Chen quickly realized that something must have happened.

So, Ye Chen quickly grabbed one of them.

"What’s wrong? Is something the matter?"

"Over there, it seems someone is robbing something, and they are fighting,"

"Robbing something?"

Ye Chen only slightly frowned as he said that.

What could there be to rob in an auction house? Nothing but those auction items, all of which are priceless.

"You wait here for a moment; I’ll go have a look."

Ye Chen has always been a person who cannot stand seeing injustice, and at this time, he would definitely not ignore any trouble that arose.

"Haha, this habit of standing up for others seems to be showing itself again. Forget about it, leave him alone."

Li Fu just turned around, then explained to Lin Yaru.

"Mr. Li, I wanted to ask, why did you arrange for him to come and be my personal bodyguard?"

This was a question Lin Yaru had been particularly eager to know, but since she started interacting with Ye Chen, she hadn’t had a chance to meet Li Fu.

"Miss Lin, how come, are you not satisfied with this arrangement?"

"Not dissatisfied, definitely quite satisfied indeed. Plus, his prowess is remarkable. He has saved me from danger time and again, and his skills have indeed amazed me."

"That’s right. If that’s the case, then there shouldn’t be any problem."

"It’s just, I feel that there’s something special about him, and I can’t quite put my finger on it."

"Haha, special? Which aspect do you find unique? Could it be that he has attracted you in some way? Miss Lin, you haven’t fallen for him, have you?"

"No, not at all. How could that be? It suddenly felt like having such an ace from heaven beside me, which really made me feel very secure."

"Miss Lin, we must consider your safety, after all, as the sole legal heir to Lin Group, you cannot have any mishaps."

At that moment, Lin Yaru suddenly turned her head, and the previously joyful face suddenly became serious.

If it were any other topic, Lin Yaru could accept it, but whenever the issue of succession was raised, she simply could not stand it.
