The Crippled Boss's Outstanding Substitute Wife

146.Slapping Her Face In Public

Bae Dong was also present at the charity gala. Since Lisa had said so earlier, the earrings must not be sold to anyone else. Mei had just informed Bae Dong to bid for the earrings at all costs to please Lisa. However, Mei did not expect that the price of an ordinary pair of earrings would continue to rise like this. Every time the bidding paddle was raised, it felt as though Mei’s flesh was being cut off as well. Her heart ached terribly.

“Mom,” Chanyeol lowered his eyes and looked at Mei with a deep and cold gaze. “Let’s bid separately.”

Chanyeol felt his blood boiling and his heart beating faster than usual. This woman, Lisa, was different from other women. She was not water, she was a rose that grew among thorns, enthusiastically displaying her beauty to everyone. And everyone who wanted to pick this rose was destined to shed blood all the way to where she was. They would kneel in front of her with wounds all over their bodies as they are pierced by her.

When he thought about how he could conquer such a rose, Chanyeol felt his adrenaline surge. His wolf-like eyes were locked on the stage. He did not know if he was looking at the diamond earrings or the person sitting in the front row.

Jackson’s lips twitched, “Five million.”

“Six million!” Chanyeol raised his paddle.

The two of them continued going back and forth and the price quickly rose to ten million. The people in the audience watched the two of them fight with numbness. It was as if the numbers they were uttering were not money at all.

“15 million.” At this moment, Jungkook raised his paddle again. It was hard to tell what he was feeling.

“16 million,” Chanyeol raised his paddle and nodded at Jungkook with a smile. “Thank you for letting me win, Cousin.”

Jungkook looked at him indifferently without saying a word.

“Bae Chanyeol!” At that moment, Joy finally could not hold it in anymore. She stood up, stepped over a few people, and bit her lips as she looked at him. “What is the meaning of this?”

The Bae family and Chanyeol had already clearly shown their intentions to form an alliance through marriage. However, Chanyeol had spent so much money on another woman in public. Had he ever considered Joy’s feelings?

Joy felt her cheeks ache, and the gazes of the crowd made her feel even more humiliated.

“Miss Park,” Chanyeol nodded gracefully and smiled. “As you can see, I really want to bid for this pair of earrings. Is there a problem?”

He actually asked her if there was a problem? Of course, there was a problem! She hated Lisa so much. As her fiancé, it was fine if Chanyeol did not help, but how could he personally help Lisa slap her in the face?

Even though they were supposedly fiancés, their engagement had in fact not been formalized yet. Thus, she did not have the rightful status to question him like this now. For a moment, the eyes of the people around her pierced her like sharp thorns. Joy was embarrassed and angry. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she stomped her feet angrily. She screamed, “Lalisa, you b*tch!”

Lisa sneered, “Miss Park, I’m not the one who embarrassed you. Isn’t it inappropriate for you to vent your anger on me?”

However, if it was not for Lisa, how could Joy be embarrassed like this?! Joy was used to being unruly. When she was going to make a scene again, she saw Jungkook. He was sitting in front of her, and he turned his head and cast a sinister look at her. That look was as cold as ice and snow, freezing Joy into silence.

Chanyeol also frowned and said disapprovingly, “Miss Park, you are too rude.”

Everyone was protecting Lisa! After realizing this, Joy was both jealous and looked unsightly, her jealousy had consumed her rationality. Finally, she could not bear the gazes of the people around her anymore. She covered her face and ran out crying.

“16 million going once, 16 million going twice, 16 million…” the host on the stage blushed and tried to continue controlling the scene. Just as he was about to announce who the final owner of the pair of earrings was, he saw someone raise a bidding paddle below the stage.

“20 million.” It was Kai’s first bid. When he saw that everyone’s eyes were on him, he smiled and said, “Seeing that everyone is fighting so noisily, I also want to join in the fun.”

Sehun’s eyes were gloomy as he also raised his paddle. “23 million.”

Mei gritted her teeth and anxiously looked up at Bae Dong, who was nearby. The price could not get any higher. This price was already reaching the maximum amount she could bid for with all the cash she had on hand. If it went any higher, they could only give up. But if Lisa gave up investing in them because of this…

Mei’s entire body trembled. Bae Dong clearly understood this as well. There was a hint of madness in his eyes. He raised his board and shouted, “26 million!” This was the highest price he could offer.

Even if the money was invested into the fund in the end, it would only be a one-sided transaction for them. However, there were still many details that could not be revealed to outsiders. It was not as simple as they thought.
