Villain Marrying The Heroine Is Perfectly Plausible, Right?

Chapter 017:

At this moment, Ye Chen was completely dumbfounded.

He had inexplicably spent nineteen billion yuan and bought a painting?!

Although Ye Chen was a god of war in Africa, even he was sweating bullets at this moment!

What exactly went wrong?

Yes, it must be that announcing lady!

Her mouth suddenly became like a machine gun, rattling off bids before hammering down!

And at this moment, the lady on stage, smiled sweet  and said, “Thanks to Mr. Ye Chen’s generous bid, this transaction earned a super premium! According to the rules, the auction will donate ten percent of the final price to charity! Let’s applaud again for Mr. Ye Chen’s generosity!”

This wave of events was like rubbing salt in Ye Chen’s wounds and then stabbing him again.

Everyone around him all clapped, but what they said had nothing to do with what they were thinking.

“Ye Chen’s ability is unparalleled in history!”

“You’re truly amazing, Ye Chen, treating nineteen billion yuan like it’s nothing.”

“He’s so young and reckless, not even batting an eye at nineteen billion yuan.”

“To both acquire a beloved treasure and contribute to charity, you’re truly worthy of admiration, Ye Chen!”

Soon, a staff member approached Ye Chen with a card reader. “Mr. Ye Chen, due to the substantial transaction amount, please make the payment according to regulations first. After payment is completed, the auction will continue.”

Under everyone’s gaze, Ye Chen stiffened. He was sweating profusely, and his lips unable to form a smile!

Mainly because he simply didn’t have that much money at the moment!

His assets were all abroad, and he hadn’t transferred them to Nanjiang City yet.

Where would he get nineteen billion yuan from!

Ye Chen slowly looked at Sun Zhentian. “Old Sun, I was in a hurry when I left today, and I didn’t bring that much money with me. Can you cover me first?”

!!!

The surrounding people were suddenly speechless.

No money?

What was the point of pretending to be a big shot then?!

He wasn’t this low-key when you were loudly raising bids!

Wow, daring to raise bids without money, thinking the Jiang family didn’t eat meat?!

Everyone watched with sympathy, ready for the show.

Sun Zhentian was stunned for a moment. He instinctively avoided Ye Chen’s gaze and looked away. “I was in a hurry when I left today too, I only had five thousand yuan in my pocket. If you urgently need it, you can have it all!”

‘Ye Chen, you thoroughly offended the Chen family, and now you turn to me to pay, are you kidding me? Do you think I have a brain as big as yours?!

The security guards in the hall saw the situation wasn’t right and began to surround them.

“Mr. Ye, if you’re the one who bid the price, can’t you afford to pay?”

Ye Chen’s whole body stiffened, trying to think of a solution.

Then someone in the crowd suddenly started speaking up for Ye Chen.

“Don’t panic, Mr. Ye Chen is a leader at Nanjiang University, educated and with noble virtues! With such a high moral character, he certainly won’t be short of money for your auction!”

This person was also quite clever; he had flattered Ye Chen the most when he first arrived. He thought that since Ye Chen was in trouble now, helping him out would make it awkward to refuse when his son applied to Nanjiang University in the future.

The others who initially flattered him also began to speak up for Ye Chen.

After all, Ye Chen’s position as a university official still had some value to them.

At this moment, a young man with an earring suddenly appeared in the crowd and looked at Ye Chen with a pleasantly surprised expression.

“Hey?! Isn’t this the security guard from our university? How did you get in here?”

?! What? A security guard?

The people who had been flattering Ye Chen were suddenly angry!

Had they been bowing and scraping to a security guard for so long?!

Weren’t they being played fool?!

They shot angry gazes to Sun Zhentian.

“Old Sun, are you trying to deceive us? Did you say this security guard was a high-ranking official at Nanjiang University?”

Sun Zhentian at this moment was covering his face with his hand, his toes almost poking through his shoes, feeling extremely embarrassed!

He had just casually said it to smooth things over, but who would have thought Ye Chen would take it and start showing off?!

The current target of everyone’s criticism, Ye Chen, was already simmering in anger!

He, the mighty god of war, was made so embarrassed by these ants today!

So he countered, “Nobody ever said I, Ye Chen, was an official at Nanjiang University. You misunderstood, don’t blame others!”

“Then what about you saying controlling the flow of students in and out of Nanjiang University? And saying that as long as you nod, anyone can enter Nanjiang University?!”

The insults from the crowd only fueled Ye Chen’s anger.

He gave a smirk, took on the posture of engaging in a verbal battle with the masses, and uttered a phrase that had circulated in upper-class circles for a long time, “That’s because, if I don’t open the door, none of you can get in!!!”

Boom!

Suddenly, everyone woke up to reality.

What was said about controlling student entry and exit was just about the surface meaning of opening and closing the university gate?!

He wasn’t in charge of admissions but of being a security guard?!!
