Chapter 69

Lin Qinghuan turned her head and caught Ye Fengyun staring at Yun Mengxi’s legs. She said sourly, “Do you like them? Should I take you over to touch them?”

“No way, I’m not that kind of person,” Ye Fengyun replied, looking serious, as if to say, “I’m not like that.”

Lin Qinghuan shot him a glare, retorting, “When you act casually, you’re not even human.”

Just then, Tang Yilin and Lin Lei spotted Ye Fengyun.

“Well, well, isn’t this the ugly husband of Tang Shihan?” Tang Yilin mocked, her face full of disdain.

Ye Fengyun replied, “Oh, isn’t this the homewrecker my wife kicked out of the game?”

“You—”

Tang Yilin glared at him in fury.

Ye Fengyun continued, “Honestly, I hadn’t planned on paying any attention to you, but you insisted on sticking your face out so I could slap it. Isn’t that just pathetic?”

Tang Yilin flushed bright red, her chest heaving with anger.

Lin Lei sneered, “Ye Fengyun, all you can do is talk big. With your status, you couldn’t even get into the auction!”

Lin Qinghuan interrupted, “So you think I can’t get in either, is that it?”

Lin Lei was startled by Lin Qinghuan’s words. He’d thought Lin Qinghuan was only here by chance with Ye Fengyun, but he didn’t expect her to actually stand up for him.

“No, no, Miss Lin, what are you saying? If someone of your status can’t get in, then we wouldn’t even have the right to take a peek,” Lin Lei rushed to flatter her.

Lin Qinghuan smirked contemptuously, insulting him, “Worthless mutt.”

Lin Lei didn’t dare argue, only grinned obsequiously. “You’re right, Miss Lin. I am a worthless mutt. If I upset you, I deserve to be cursed.”

Lin Qinghuan laughed, “Curse you? Did I curse you? I’m just stating the truth.”

“Yes, yes, Miss Lin is only telling the truth. I am a worthless mutt. Woof, woof, woof.” Lin Lei immediately imitated a dog’s bark, terrified of provoking Lin Qinghuan.

Lin Qinghuan was famous in Yunchuan City for her temper. Anyone who dared to offend her would face dire consequences. Once, someone who didn’t know better angered Lin Qinghuan, and ended up beaten to disability. Lin Qinghuan paid all the medical bills, but warned she’d do it again if he dared annoy her. Ever since, that person avoided her at all costs—he wouldn’t even dare glance at her, let alone speak.

Lin Qinghuan looked at Lin Lei with disdain, snorted, and dragged Ye Fengyun into the auction hall.

Lin Lei was left stupefied.

What was going on with Ye Fengyun? Why was Lin Qinghuan so close to him? Was I losing my mind, or was she?

Suddenly, Tang Yilin snapped, “Lei, what are you doing? Why are you barking like a dog? Don’t you care about your dignity?”

“Dignity? Are you stupid? Which is more important, dignity or life? Do you know how terrifying Lin Qinghuan is? She’s famous for her temper in Yunchuan City. If you cross her, not just me—the whole Tang family could get dragged down.”

Tang Yilin was shocked, her heart racing. “Is it really that serious?”

“Are you kidding?” Lin Lei rebuked her. “Do I look like I’m joking?”

Tang Yilin dared not say another word.

Inside the auction hall, Lin Qinghuan led Ye Fengyun to their seats.

All around them were people of extraordinary bearing—some were scions of Yunchuan City’s most powerful families, some wealthy businessmen from outside the city, and some foreign merchants.

“Don’t say anything reckless. Everyone here is someone important,” Lin Qinghuan reminded him.

Ye Fengyun yawned, clearly indifferent to it all.

Lin Qinghuan stamped her foot in frustration. “I’m talking to you!”
