The appearance of Yang Ting and Jiang Siyin caused the atmosphere to tense up.
Shen Jing looked at the two people beside her and furrowed her brows. She wondered if coming to the auction tonight was the wrong choice.
"Young Master Jiang, is your face better now? I'm really sorry. I was rash this morning and hit you too hard. The next time you come, choose a better time. Maybe I'll be in a good mood and hit you more lightly.
Mo Wen didn't seem to feel the tense atmosphere at all. He smiled at the injured person beside him and extended his hand to pat Jiang Siyin's shoulder. It was as if the two of them were close brothers.
Mo Wen's pat was not a big deal, but it gave Jiang Siyin a shock. His body trembled and he almost slid off the chair. He thought that Mo Wen was going to beat him up again. He still remembered what had happened in the morning.
"Don't f * cking touch me. Brat, remember this. Sooner or later, I will let you know what regret is."
After realizing that he had lost his composure, Jiang Siyin's face turned red. He glared at Mo Wen with a vicious look in his eyes.
"Brother, you are still not calm enough. In such a serious occasion, how can you speak so childishly? You don't have the bearing of an adult at all. No wonder my wife thinks of you as a wishful thinking toad. You deserve it!"
Mo Wen continued to pat Jiang Siyin's shoulder as he said this with a serious look.
"F * ck you."
Jiang Siyin couldn't hold it in anymore. Anger rose in his heart and evil grew in his guts. It seemed that he was no longer afraid of Mo Wen's ferocity. He raised his fist and punched towards Mo Wen's face.
However, it was unknown if Jiang Siyin had used too much force or if he was too angry, but he lost his balance when he punched. Not only did he not hit Mo Wen, but he also staggered and fell to the ground with a thud. His face was facing downwards and he had a heavy "kiss" on the ground. He was lying on the ground like a dead dog and couldn't get up for a long time.
"Young Master Jiang, don't be so agitated. Let's talk this out. Just now, I said that you were not calm enough. Why are you so agitated? Are you hurt from the fall? Are you dead? "
Mo Wen kicked Jiang Siyin, who was lying on the ground. He said calmly.
"Mo Wen … you and I … are irreconcilable …"
Jiang Siyin slowly crawled up from the ground. His eyes were bloodshot, and it seemed as if they were about to spit out flames. On his face, two streams of blood flowed out of his nose, and his mouth was filled with disgust. His image was extremely battered and exhausted.
"Young Master Jiang, please pay attention to your image. You look neither human nor ghost. Be careful, the security guards might ask you to leave."
Mo Wen reminded her "kindly".
Shen Jing looked at Jiang Siyin's sorry state and wanted to laugh. However, she resisted the urge to laugh. She rolled her eyes at Mo Wen. This guy's mouth could really anger people to death.
"Idiot!"
Yang Ting's face turned ugly as she cursed in her heart. It was embarrassing to work with such a fool. Jiang Siyin wasn't the only one who felt embarrassed. Even she felt embarrassed. Working with this idiot. He really didn't know if it was right or wrong.
"Wipe?"
Mo Wen took out a packet of tissues from his pocket and handed it over to Jiang Siyin as he looked at him.
Jiang Siyin had blood on his face, so he instinctively extended his hand to take it. However, Mo Wen retracted his hand and kept the tissues. Then, he took out a piece of tissue and handed it to Jiang Siyin.
"Brother, don't mind me. You know that we are not close. I was afraid that you would not return it to me after using it," Mo Wen said with a smile.
"Mo Wen …"
Jiang Siyin clenched his fists tightly. He clenched his teeth and wished he could pounce on Mo Wen and bite him. He had actually fallen into Mo Wen's trap once again.
Yang Ting's mouth twitched. At least one thing that Mo Wen had said was right. This Jiang Siyin was really an idiot.
"Mo Wen, you will regret this. You will definitely …"
Jiang Siyin used his sleeve to wipe off the blood on his face. He suppressed his anger and sat down again. He didn't bother with Mo Wen anymore, as he knew that if he caused trouble at the auction, he would definitely be asked to leave. He would definitely be asked to leave by the security guards.
"Idiot!" Mo Wen smiled and shook his head.
Jiang Siyin clenched his teeth and resisted the urge to kill. He knew that he couldn't lose his rationality at this time.
After another quarter of an hour, more and more people had gathered in the auditorium. About 80% of the seats were occupied. The more people there were, the quieter the auditorium was. Those who had come to participate in the auction were all people of a certain status. They knew that they had to pay attention to their image in public. Even when they were conversing, they would purposely lower their voices.
A host appeared on the high platform in front of them. After giving a brief speech, the auction officially started.
As for what the host had said, Mo Wen still didn't understand. He had mentioned that this auction was a charity auction and that a portion of the processing fees would be used for charity. However, he didn't mention who the charity was for. At the same time, he didn't mention how much of the processing fees would be used for charity.
In short, he had been very vague from the beginning to the end. He was afraid that the charity auction was fake and that the commercial auction was the real deal. It was a classic case of selling dog meat under a sheep's skin.
The auctioneer was a Caucasian woman in her thirties. She had a voluptuous figure and a beautiful appearance. Her voice was soft and charming, causing people to involuntarily feel excited. This caused many people to spend a lot of money in a moment of impulse.
There were many different kinds of items in the auction. Generally speaking, they were divided into antiques, jewelry, calligraphy, and paintings … All of them were expensive items. They had both aesthetic value and collectible value.
"It's actually a painting by Da Vinci."
Shen Jing looked at the ancient painting on the display stage. A look of surprise flashed in her eyes. Every painting by Da Vinci was priceless. It had already risen to the level of a cultural relic. It was almost impossible to take it out to be auctioned. However, such an item had actually appeared in this auction. Was it real or fake?
"The items in this auction have all been cross-examined by a few top-notch appraisal masters. It is impossible for there to be any fakes."
Yang Ting seemed to have seen through Shen Jing's doubts. Her mouth curled into a mocking smile. She lifted her chin slightly, as though she was superior to others. She was far more familiar with such an occasion than Shen Jing. It could be said that her purpose of appearing on the Sword of the Seas was not to travel, but to attend this auction.
This auction had tens of years of history. It was only held once every three years. There had never been any problems with its credibility. That was why it could attract so many wealthy people.
It was said that anything could appear in this auction. The things that one thought would never appear might appear in front of one in the next moment. To exaggerate, it was not impossible for a nuclear bomb to appear in the auction.
"They are actually auctioning a cultural relic." A look of contemplation flashed in Shen Jing's eyes.
"Shen Jing, are you interested in this painting? Why don't you bid for it? This painting is worth a lot. If you bid for it, not only will you be doing charity, but you will also get a treasured painting. "
Yang Ting rolled her eyes and instigated her. The starting price of that painting by Da Vinci was as high as 30 million USD. If there were people competing for it, it would cost at least 50 million USD. If she wanted to bid for it, she would have to think twice. With Shen Jing's status, she might only be able to bid for this painting if she went all out.
Shen Jing directly ignored Yang Ting and ignored her. It was as though she had not heard what she had said.
"Pauper." Yang Ting snorted coldly and mocked her without concealing it.
"Woman, watch what you say."
Mo Wen raised his eyebrows. This was already the second time he had spoken to Yang Ting in such a manner. Although he was not interested in arguing with a woman, she had repeatedly targeted Shen Jing, so it was impossible for him to turn a blind eye. Perhaps Shen Jing did not mind, but he did.
"What's wrong with my words? Am I not allowed to speak the truth? All of you are poor, pauper. Mo Wen, you are also a pauper. Don't think too highly of yourself. Who doesn't know that you are a gigolo? Why are you pretending to be 13 when you are not doing anything? "
Yang Ting was instantly angered. This pauper actually dared to threaten her time and time again. He really thought highly of himself. Who did he think he was? If they were in Charm City, she would have dealt with him anytime.
"Mo Wen, she is just a crazy woman. Let's not lower ourselves to her level."
Shen Jing grabbed Mo Wen's hand. She did not want him to continue arguing with Yang Ting. Although Yang Ting's character was bad, her family was indeed rich. It was far from what they could compare to. She did not want to say much about this. After all, the world laughed at the poor but not at the prostitutes. There were too many despicable people like Yang Ting.
Mo Wen glanced at Yang Ting, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. However, he did not do anything. He turned his head and ignored her.
"You are poor, yet you refuse to admit it. It is just a painting. I will bid for it for you to see."
Yang Ting pouted and glanced at Shen Jing and Mo Wen disdainfully. She held the bidding machine in her hand and began to bid for the painting. Initially, she did not want to fight for this painting. However, she was determined to get it now. Once she had bid for the painting, she would ruthlessly slap Shen Jing in the face.
"Miss Yang is rich. You are indeed very generous. You are far from what some people can compare to …"
At this moment, Jiang Siyin naturally would not let go of the opportunity to add insult to injury. He wantonly praised how rich Yang Ting was and how generous she was. He used this to set off the "poverty" of some people. He had indeed spared no effort to attack Mo Wen and Shen Jing. Since he had fallen out with Shen Jing, he no longer cared about his face and image. This woman would sooner or later fall into his hands.
"No one can mock you, even if the mockery is insignificant to you. This is because you are my, Mo Wen's, woman."
Mo Wen held Shen Jing's hand and whispered into her fair and tender earlobe.
Shen Jing's face was slightly red. Mo Wen had actually done such a lewd action in front of everyone. However, Mo Wen's words made her feel a sense of warmth. Although this man was bad, domineering, and unreasonable, he did care about her sometimes.
"You better have the ability first before you speak such big words. However, I am willing … to wait for you …"
Shen Jing's face was red. She lowered her head and her voice became softer and softer.
"Remember, you don't have to wait for the future. I will protect you at all times. Even if I really don't have the ability, I will try my best to do so," Mo Wen said softly.
The more he interacted with Shen Jing, the more he discovered the beauty and purity of this woman's soul. At the same time, he was even more moved by her. (To be continued.)
