Chapter 21 Two Hundred Million
Chapter 21 Two Hundred Million
Ye Feng squinted at Shen Jianguo.
There are too many people in the arena right now, so he shouldn't reveal his strength to the enemy, lest they become aware of it and prepare accordingly.
After the engagement ceremony, I'll definitely grab that old guy and give him a good talking to.
"Shen Jianguo, as everyone knows, my son and three grandsons had an accident."
"You say it's my Ye family who offended someone? What do you know?"
Ye Dingtian remained seated and asked calmly.
"this..."
Shen Jianguo's expression froze: "I just suspected that I was trying to help the Shen family avoid risks in advance."
"Ha ha!"
Ye Dingtian laughed loudly: "Then I suspect that you old codger will become a serial rapist and murderer in the future. From eighty-year-old women to three-year-old children, they will all fall victim to your poisonous hands."
"Should I also take care of everyone's risks and kill you off beforehand, you old bastard!"
"you..."
Shen Jianguo was speechless for a moment after being rebuked.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. My son and the others just had an accident. My Ye family hasn't offended anyone."
Ye Dingtian addressed the crowd.
Although he had some doubts, he did not know who the enemy was.
If we indicate that we want to investigate, the other party will inevitably take action again.
The most important thing now is to bide our time and wait until Ye Feng has fully matured before making any other plans.
"Old Master Ye is right, let the ceremony continue," Shen Lang said.
Today is his daughter's engagement ceremony. If it ends badly, he will be the one who loses face.
Moreover, he suspected that Shen Jianguo had come for this purpose.
Saying that the Ye family has enemies and that they are afraid of being implicated is just an excuse.
"Wait!"
At this moment, a woman standing next to Shen Jianguo suddenly spoke up.
"Even if nothing else happened, the Ye family is really treating the Shen family with utter contempt, isn't they?"
"Ye Feng and Shen Luoyi got engaged, but they didn't even have a decent betrothal gift. Aren't they afraid of being laughed at?"
She is Shen Bilian, the granddaughter of Shen Jianguo.
He had always disliked Shen Luoyi, and when he heard that Shen Jianguo was going to cause trouble at the engagement banquet, he also took the initiative to come along.
"Who said the Ye family didn't offer a betrothal gift?"
Shen Lang could tell that the other party was deliberately causing trouble, and with a stern face pointed to the table where the betrothal gifts were placed.
"Shen Bilian, are you blind? The betrothal gifts are right there!"
Everyone looked over and saw a large gift box containing 1.01 million yuan in cash on the table, surrounded by some smaller red gift boxes.
"Is this what you call a betrothal gift?"
Shen Bilian scoffed, "Do you think our Shen family is some insignificant household that we can be satisfied with such a paltry gift?"
To be honest, these betrothal gifts weren't stingy, just average and nothing particularly outstanding.
"Yes, the Ye family looks down on people so much, and you still want to marry your daughter to them? You're a disgrace to our family!"
Shen Jianguo, who had been rendered speechless by Old Master Ye's rebuke, seized the opportunity to lash out.
As he spoke, he slammed the table where the betrothal gifts were placed over on the floor.
"you..."
When Shen Lang saw him make a move, he was furious and realized that Shen Jianguo had come to embarrass him.
Just as I was about to speak, my eyes caught sight of two things rolling out of the gift box.
A bright green necklace and a small bottle of clear liquid.
"This is?"
He walked over and picked up the necklace, a look of confusion in his eyes as he glanced at Ye Feng beside him.
Shen Lang had checked the gift list beforehand, and this item wasn't on it.
"Imperial Green Jadeite Necklace"
Ye Feng replied calmly.
After being framed and imprisoned by Jiang Ruotong, he lost faith in women and even considered never dating again.
When his master found out, he advised him to think more positively, saying that there are not only bad women in the world, but also good women.
I specially gave him this necklace so he could give it to someone he likes in the future.
Despite Ye Feng's constant clashes with Shen Luoyi, he is actually very grateful to her for taking care of his grandfather over the years.
He had initially forgotten about the necklace, but remembered it before coming to the Shen family and added it to the betrothal gifts at the last minute.
He also set aside one-tenth of the Seven Sons Rejuvenating Liquid and placed it together with the necklace, thinking it would make Shen Luoyi look better.
"Imperial Green Jadeite Necklace?"
Before Shen Lang could speak, Shen Bilian scoffed, "You really dare to say that!"
"If it's a genuine imperial green necklace, it's worth at least two hundred million. Can your Ye family afford that now?"
"I bet it's made from the bottom of a beer bottle; they're just trying to fool people!"
Upon hearing this, those around him shook their heads in disdain.
If it were the Ye family of the past, they might have been able to offer a necklace worth 200 million as a betrothal gift.
However, the current Ye family would absolutely not do that.
Their company was burdened by a large amount of external debt and was almost on the verge of bankruptcy.
If they had anything valuable, they would have used it to cover the losses long ago; why would they have kept it until now as a betrothal gift?
It seems the Ye family has truly fallen on hard times; they're even resorting to counterfeit goods to save face.
Shen Luoyi's eyes flashed with surprise; she was very clear about the Ye family's situation.
In order to keep the company afloat, the old man had long ago had her exchange everything of value for money.
Could it be... that Ye Feng really got a fake just to save face?
That's so foolish! It will only make you look more embarrassed!
Shen Lang also realized that given the Ye family's current situation, it was impossible for them to come up with 200 million as a betrothal gift, and his face instantly darkened.
Shen Jianguo and his group came here to cause trouble and watch the spectacle. Now that they have a handle on them, they will definitely become even more unscrupulous in their mockery.
"Brother Shen, may I take a look at this necklace?"
At this moment, a middle-aged man stepped forward, staring at the necklace in Shen Lang's hand, and said.
"this..."
Shen Lang hesitated.
This man's name is Zhu Chaofeng. His family is in the jewelry business and also owns a pawnshop.
He was nicknamed "Big Strategist" by the locals!
He is an expert in antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry and jade, and can tell the authenticity of an item at a glance.
Shen Lang didn't want him to see it. Right now, everyone was just suspicious. If he saw it and it turned out to be a fake, it would be incredibly embarrassing.
"What are you still standing there for?"
Shen Jianguo sneered: "Hurry up and give the things to Mr. Zhu."
"He's helping you, so you won't get scammed without even realizing it!"
With everyone watching, Shen Lang couldn't find a reason to refuse, so he handed the necklace to Zhu Chaofeng.
Zhu Chaofeng did not take it, but gestured for him to put it on the table before carefully picking it up and examining it closely.
Just as everyone was paying attention to this side, a middle-aged man and a pretty young girl walked in through the gate of the Shen family.
It was Feng Zhen and his daughter Feng Jingjing.
Seeing that the ceremony hadn't taken place, everyone gathered around to look at something.
Feng Zhen asked the person next to him curiously, "What happened?"
"Oh, Patriarch Feng is here too. It's like this..."
When the person next to him saw it was Feng Zhen, he immediately smiled and told him what had just happened.
Of course, this person also thought Ye Feng's necklace was a fake.
Feng Jingjing listened from the side, her pretty face full of disdain.
"This guy not only committed engagement rape, but he also tried to scam people with counterfeit goods?"
"What a waste of such a good name, he doesn't deserve to be called Ye Feng!"
She said to the person next to her, "Where is that swindler? I want to see what he looks like."
"That one in the red wedding robe is him."
The person next to him raised his hand and pointed to Ye Feng, who was standing calmly in the hall.
"Nice physique, and kind of handsome, looks a bit like that guy... Holy crap!"
She was commenting on Ye Feng when she suddenly exclaimed in surprise, her eyes widening instantly.
"Dad, it's him, it's him, it's definitely him!"
Feng Jingjing grabbed Feng Zhen's sleeve and shouted excitedly.
