Chapter 1279: Scammed to Death
Chapter 1278 â Scammed to Death
âShit!â Only then did Jianwen realize that the entire thing was covered in something slippery. His hands still had the sticky stuff on them! He really wanted to explode- what the hell was this shit?
âMy apologies, a bottle of a smoothing agent, got spilled on it earlier, itâs abit slippery, but it slipped from your hands, itâs nothing to do with me!â Xiaoxiao said with a sly smile.
âI-â Jianwenâs eyes were glaringly wide as he held onto his chest. Smoothing agent? Why would a smoothing agent be on the sculpture, this Xiaoxiao was the one who put it on!
Fuck! This woman was the same as Yushu. They were scammers with no heart! He was still consoling himself that while it was some glass he bought for one million, it still had Mengyaoâs kiss on it. He could use that for something at home.
But great, now it was shattered! It was nothing, just a bunch of shattered glass!
âWow, An Jianwen, youâre so rich! One million for a loud bang!â Yushu said admirably.
âIâŠâ Jianwen wanted to say fuck, but he was on stage with Mengyao- she wouldnât like him if he seemed too petty, so he only smiled painfully. âIâm alright, hahaâŠâ
With that, he quickly left the stage with his head held down, returning to his seat.
The audience, however, didnât know about the smoothing agent- they thought that he was pissed he spent one million on some glass, so he broke it! He even made it look like he accidentally dropped it on the floor because he was too embarrassed to smash it.
As Mengyao breathed in relief, she found herself even starting to feel bad for him! What a tragedy of him to have met Xiaoxiao and Yushu! Not only did his one million get scammed, but the sculpture itself was also destroyed!
Naturally, she didnât think that the smoothing agent was anything other than purposefully applied by Xiaoxiao- this was completely avoidable. They wanted it to slip.
But this was good- who knew what Jianwen planned on doing with that. Those unhealthy things would trouble her a bit.
Xiaoxiao and Yushu looked at each other- pleased that their evil plan had succeeded.
Lin Yi looked at Jianwenâs sad face and felt speechless- these two girls really had no mercy. Jianwen couldnâtâ even voice his frustrations but swallow them.
After that little incident, the auction ended.
The total amount that was received from the donations was close to two million, but for the orphanage, it wasnât much. It was all they could do, but it would help soothe out some of their stress.
Lin Yi could tell Lingshan to hold back on how intensely she was sweeping the streets, but he didnât- Lingshan had her own principles, and he couldnât just ask her to change that.
Plus, what Xiaoke did wasnât legal in the first place. She would have to live in the dark and work hard.
She was happy enough already, even though it was just two million! If they kept up this very simple and money-saving life, this would last them quite a while.
After getting kicked down the stage by Lin Yi, Yufeng quickly went to his apartment and called his father. He couldnât take it anymore. He needed to punish Lin Yi!!
âFeng? Whyâre you calling now, arenât you in school?â Shuixing said, confused.
âDad, I got kicked by Lin Yi today- I canât take it anymore, I have to kill him!â Yufeng said right from the get-go, angrily psised.
âOh/â Shuixing paused. âLin Yi kicked you? What happened?â
âWellâŠâ Yufeng told his father what happened. âI only barked at his girlfriend a bit, one sentence, and he charged up and kicked me down! Thatâs what a bully is!â
âWith his personality, this isnât anything new. But itâs been so long, and you still donât have anything on her background, nor are we clear how strong his strength level is- Iâm worried something might go wrong!â Shuixing was a more stable man, looking at the bigger picture. âYu Feng, the meeting of the noble houses will begin soon, itâs best to avoid trouble at this critical time! House Zhao, being so powerful and all, along with the Xiaoâs who have House Piâs backup- neither of them are going to Lin Yi, why is that? There must be something we donât know about!â
âBut⊠I canât just let this go! Iâve lost all my face already. If I donât find some way to get it back, I canât stay in this school!â Yu Feng said.
âThis canât be helped. Great men know how to endure!â Shuixing said with a sigh .âHouse Yu was supposed to be the strongest of the common worldâs noble houses, but now that House Xiao has House Piâs support, theyâre not too far off from us. The hidden house Zhao is stronger than us too, but they donât do anything. Why should we be the ones to go test the waters? What if Lin Yi really has some power behind him we canât piss off? Itâd be the end of our house!â
âEnd of our house? Itâs not that serious, is it? We have the hidden house Yuâs support as well?â Yufeng jumped, calming down and thinking clearly.
âYes, it is that serious! The hidden house Yu only has a business based relationship with us- they can go sponsor a different house once itâs over for us, just like House Pi and House Xiao. Your uncle still isnât established in the hidden House Yu yet, let alone be in a position to be making talks!â Shuixing said. âPlus, hidden houses arenât the peak power in this world, there are ancient sects above them, and even more powerful ones above those ancient sects! Itâs just that these old people wonât come out to cause trouble for no good reason. But if you cross their bottom line, they donât care who you are!â
