The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 387: Chapter 388: Jia Siqi Getting Slapped in the Face

No benefits at all, just spending billions for the sake of face. Even if he can swallow this anger, his father and grandfather wouldn’t let it slide. If they found out about this, they’d surely scold him harshly.

But now things have come to this point, he can’t afford to lose face in front of so many people.

“Brother, you weren’t shouting randomly, were you? If you can’t pay up later, the auction side definitely won’t let you off easily.” Jia Siqi said viciously to Su Changfeng.

Su Changfeng smiled at Jia Siqi and said, “It seems like that’s something the auction side should worry about, why are you meddling? Or are you scared now?”

“Me, Jia Siqi, scared? My wealth is beyond imagination for someone like you.” In his fevered state, Jia Siqi no longer cared about being reprimanded when he got back. Faced with a choice between face and money, he certainly picked face.

“250 million.” Jia Siqi bid again.

The money in their hands was like tap water, and the onlookers could no longer be more astonished.

“300 million.” Su Changfeng bid without hesitation, looking calm and collected.

“You…” Jia Siqi’s face turned liver-red as he glared angrily at Su Changfeng, who had bid again.

“Money is the least of my concerns, but certain things have a fixed value. Want to try again?” Su Changfeng smiled at Jia Siqi.

These words carried another meaning, hinting at a possible warning to Jia Siqi.

The fixed value of the Eternal Necklace — Jia Siqi couldn’t guess it, but he sensed from Su Changfeng’s words that if he bid again, this necklace would probably end up his.

Exceeding 300 million is already 10 times the starting bid, and even if he got it, it would undoubtedly become a hot potato. Moreover, he’d definitely face severe criticism upon returning, and the family might even freeze his bank card.

“I now require verification of his financial assets to see if this person is qualified to attend the auction.” Jia Siqi said to the auction representatives.

Outbidding was absolutely not an option. Jia Siqi had to factor in the elders in his family, so he resorted to another method to force Su Changfeng out.

Su Changfeng chuckled, feeling slightly relieved as well — if Jia Siqi continued bidding, he’d lose even more, though money meant nothing to him as long as Tang Qiulu was happy.

But if the price was too high, Tang Qiulu might feel uneasy. Plus, with such an expensive price, Su Changfeng worried Tang Qiulu might be reluctant to wear it — buying it only to leave it at home would render it worthless.

When Jia Siqi started to doubt, the onlookers also began whispering among themselves.

“This guy isn’t just joking around here, is he?”

“Perhaps, he indeed doesn’t look like a wealthy man. There’s no way he could fork out 300 million for a necklace.”

“It’s entertaining; does he think this auction is a place for reckless talk?”

“Damn it, if he really doesn’t have the means to buy the necklace, it’s embarrassing even for me.”

These people appeared eager to watch the drama unfold. Sun Chen and Qin Feifei were similarly excited — if Su Changfeng really was bluffing, they would rejoice. Being exposed at the auction would give them a chance to mock Su Changfeng.

But this hot scenario wasn’t going to fall into Sun Chen’s hands.

Su Changfeng’s assets had already been verified earlier, and it was the auction’s person-in-charge, Li Wenchen, who personally confirmed it.

“Where’s Li Wenchen? Get Li Wenchen out here.” Jia Siqi roared.

Li Wenchen walked from the auction’s backstage to the front. On Heaven Island, he was the only person unafraid of Jia Siqi, because his company’s boss was as formidable as the Jia family, otherwise their subsidiary wouldn’t have stayed on Heaven Island for such a long time.

“Young Master Jia, I personally verified Mr. Ye’s assets the day before yesterday, and there’s certainly no issue. Please rest assured.” Li Wenchen said.

“Can you be sure? I suggest you verify again to avoid any problems, because you can’t afford the consequences.” Jia Siqi threatened.

Li Wenchen responded with a calm smile, “Our group boss also recognizes Mr. Ye’s strength, and in fact, the boss is backstage right now. If Young Master Jia still has doubts, you can verify with the boss face-to-face now.”

Hearing this, Jia Siqi’s heart skipped a beat. He hadn’t expected even their boss to be present this time. Previously, his father and grandfather had already warned him: causing trouble on Heaven Island was permissible, but under no circumstance should he provoke the auction group, because even the Jia family couldn’t afford to underestimate their boss.

With their boss there, Jia Siqi had no choice but to abandon his plan to trouble Su Changfeng.

“If Young Master Jia has no other issues, the auction will continue.” Li Wenchen said.

Continue?

Jia Siqi dared not continue?

“You’ve got guts, going against me, Jia Siqi. I’ll make you regret this.” Jia Siqi furiously left the venue. This was the first time Jia Siqi had lost face, especially in front of so many people. Everyone understood that Jia Siqi wouldn’t let Su Changfeng off easily.

The Eternal Necklace unsurprisingly fell into Su Changfeng’s hands, though it wasn’t a surprise for him. However, for others, it undoubtedly looked like a major accident scene.

From Jia Siqi’s appearance, everyone assumed the Eternal Necklace was surely Jia Siqi’s possession, but they hadn’t anticipated that the final owner of the necklace would be a stranger.

“Mr. Ye, our group boss wants to meet you. Do you have some time to step backstage now?” After the auction ended, Li Wenchen approached Su Changfeng and said.

“Just me?” Su Changfeng asked.

“Yes.” Li Wenchen nodded.

Su Changfeng said, “Then wait a moment.”

Su Changfeng brought Tang Qiulu to Li Chen and the lady boss’s side, and said to Li Chen, “Could you take Qiulu back to the hotel for me?”

“Su Changfeng, Jia Siqi is a vengeful person. You better leave Heaven Island quickly, or he’ll definitely retaliate against you.” The lady boss said anxiously.

Li Chen also nodded and said, “You probably don’t know Jia Siqi’s reputation on Heaven Island. He’s extremely arrogant, and after offending him, he will surely find people to deal with you.”

Su Changfeng smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I can handle it. If you’re afraid of getting dragged into this, you should leave first.”

Li Chen frowned. Su Changfeng seemed entirely unconcerned about this matter. Did he really not take Jia Siqi seriously even here on Heaven Island?!
