After surviving my ordeal, I learned that the school beauty had given birth to twins for me.

Chapter 34 The slap from 3 days ago, have you forgotten so quickly?

Jiangcheng International Convention and Exhibition Center.

This summer's top-tier art auction is the most prestigious event in Jiangcheng this year, attracting top collectors from all over the country, all of whom are wealthy and influential.

Upon arrival, Chen Limin personally opened the car door for Shen Yu and Jiang Xinlan with utmost respect, leading them towards the exclusive VIP passage.

Qian Long, who was standing at the door, happened to see this scene.

Surrounding Qian Long were several building material suppliers and real estate developers from Jiangcheng, all wealthy individuals who were on good terms with the Qian family. Each of them was quite rich and was currently flattering Qian Long.

Seeing Chen Limin's respectful attitude towards Shen Yu, Qian Long's face instantly darkened, his eyes filled with resentment.

Three days ago at the antique market, he was publicly humiliated by Shen Yu, losing all face. When he got home, his father scolded him severely and he was confined to his home for two days.

He hated Shen Yu so much he wanted to grind his teeth. When he learned that Shen Yu would also be at the auction, he immediately made up his mind to make Shen Yu suffer a big humiliation at the auction and regain all the face he had lost!

He had already made arrangements with several wealthy people around him, and no matter what Shen Yu bid for, they would all work together to maliciously inflate the price.

Even if they don't get the item, they should make Shen Yu waste several times the amount of money. Ideally, they should embarrass him in public, make him unable to pay after winning the bid, and completely ruin his reputation!

"Brother Long, is this the Shen Yu you were talking about?"

A bald, wealthy man standing nearby glanced at Shen Yu with disdain.

"Doesn't look like much at all? Do these nobody commoners even deserve to attend such a top-tier auction?"

"Yeah, Brother Long, is Old Chen getting senile? Why is he being so respectful to this poor, penniless kid?"

"Don't worry, Brother Long, we'll all listen to you today. Whatever he films, we'll do the same. We'll make sure he embarrasses himself in public!"

Several wealthy men echoed this sentiment, their tone full of disdain and mockery.

Qian Long's expression softened considerably, and he let out a cold snort:

"Some wild brat who popped up out of nowhere, relying on some medical skills to curry favor with the Lu family, thinks he's something special? Today I'll teach him a lesson: in Jiangcheng, not just anyone can step on the Qian family!"

Just then, Shen Yu and Jiang Xinlan arrived at the door.

Qian Long immediately led his men to meet them, blocking their path, and spoke in a sarcastic tone:

"Hey, isn't this Shen Yu? I didn't expect you to actually dare to come. I thought this kind of top-tier auction was not something a nobody like you could get into."

Shen Yu didn't expect that Qian Long would forget the pain so quickly. It hadn't been long, yet he still dared to appear in front of him and provoke him.

His gaze instantly turned cold, and he looked at Qian Long with an icy tone:

"You've already forgotten the slap from three days ago? Or do you want to get it again?"

Qian Long subconsciously touched his face, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

It has to be said that Shen Yu's incredible skills three days ago really frightened him.

But then he thought again, this wasn't an ordinary occasion, so he calmed down and arrogantly said:

"Shen Yu, this is an auction. Everyone here is a prominent figure in Jiangcheng. If you dare to make a move here, do you believe that the entire elite circle of Jiangcheng will not let you off the hook?"

"Oh? Is that so?" Shen Yu's lips curled into a cold smile. Just as he was about to speak, a majestic voice came from behind him.

"Qian Long! What are you shouting about here?!"

Everyone turned around and saw Lu Zongming, with several bodyguards, walking quickly towards them with a livid face.

Qian Long's expression changed instantly when he saw Lu Zongming.

Although they were reluctant to admit it, after so many years of rivalry, the Lu family was indeed slightly stronger than the Qian family.

If Lu Zongming were still as terminally ill as before, the Qian family would still have a chance of winning. But now that Lu Zongming has recovered, if Lu Zongming really wants to harm him, even his father might not be able to protect him.

This is why he hates Shen Yu so much.

If Shen Yu hadn't suddenly appeared and saved Lu Zongming, the Qian family would be the next one to take the lead.

But with so many people in front of him, he couldn't back down, so he could only stubbornly say:

"Mr. Lu, I'm just having a chat with Shen Yu. It's none of your business, is it?"

"Mr. Shen is a distinguished guest of mine, Lu Zongming. Your actions in causing him trouble are tantamount to opposing the Lu family!"

Lu Zongming shouted sternly.

"Get out of here right now! Otherwise, I don't mind starting a full-scale war with the Qian family!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Long's face instantly turned ugly.

The reason why the Qian family, despite being slightly inferior to the Lu family, was able to contend with the Lu family for decades was because they only engaged in minor skirmishes and never truly went to war.

After all, if a full-scale war were to break out and escalate to the death, it would be a huge loss to Jiangcheng's economy.

Therefore, they have always been very restrained.

But if Lu Zongming really goes crazy and starts a full-scale war with them, the Qian family will definitely suffer heavy losses!

Fine, I'll bear it!

Qian Long gritted his teeth, glared venomously at Shen Yu, and dared not say another word. He then led the several wealthy men around him and slunk into the venue.

Lu Zongming then turned around and bowed respectfully to Shen Yu:

"Mr. Shen, I'm sorry to have bothered you."

"It's nothing." Shen Yu waved his hand dismissively.

"Just a minor character, not worth my attention."

Chen Limin quickly smiled and said, "Mr. Shen, Mr. Lu, let's go in quickly, the auction is about to begin."

The group walked into the auction hall together.

The venue was decorated in a luxurious and grand style. The front row had independent VIP booths with a private tea room and rest area, while the back had regular VIP seats and audience seating.

Chen Limin arranged for Shen Yu to have the number one VIP seat in the very front row, with the best view and the closest position to the auction stage, and tea and snacks were also provided.

Jiang Xinlan sat in the booth, looking at the densely packed crowd below the stage, and whispered:

"Shen Yu, I didn't expect so many people to come."

"This auction is the highest-level one in Central China, so naturally everyone attending is a prominent figure." Shen Yu smiled and poured her a glass of warm water.

"Don't be nervous. We're just here to get what we need. Don't worry about the rest."

Jiang Xinlan nodded, leaning against him, feeling incredibly at ease.

As long as Shen Yu is there, she is not afraid of anything, no matter what happens.

Soon, the auction officially began.

In the VIP booth, Shen Yu held a teacup, his fingertips gently stroking the inside of the cup. His divine sense had already swept across the entire room, and he saw clearly Qian Long's intention to trick him.

Jiang Xinlan also noticed that Qian Long's group had been watching them with ill intent, and somewhat worried, she leaned close to Shen Yu's ear and whispered:

"Shen Yu, Qian Long has been watching us closely. He'll definitely try to drive up the price when we bid on the jujube wood heartwood and jade seeds. What should we do?"

"Don't rush." ​​Shen Yu put down his teacup, a faint, cold smile playing on his lips, and whispered in her ear,

"Isn't he the type to steal whatever I photograph? Well, I'll let him steal as much as he wants first, until he runs out of money and loses his temper, then we'll take what we want."

Jiang Xinlan's eyes lit up, and she instantly understood what he meant, and couldn't help but smile:

"You're so mean! Qianlong is going to be in big trouble because of you this time."
