Only Su Chen seemed unfazed by the situation, even appearing somewhat pleased. He alone understood that Qin Luoyi was now facing significant issues. Su Chen had run out of options; otherwise, he wouldn't be focusing all his attention on Wang Bingbing, even though he recognized how dangerous she was. To ensure the smooth progression of his villainous plot, provoking Wang Bingbing was his best approach. He was desperately hoping to anger her.
Similarly, Su Chen's words caused much concern for Qin Luoyi. If Wang Bingbing dared to lay a hand on Su Chen, she would do everything in her power to protect him, even if it meant confronting her close friend. In her heart, Su Chen was now the most important person. However, Wang Bingbing's actions left the onlookers bewildered. They hadn't anticipated this turn of events. The explosive anger they expected never materialized.
Wang Bingbing nodded slightly with a hint of blush on her face, saying, "If Young Master Su wishes, I would be pleased to accompany him." She continued, "Given that this was our auction house's mistake, there's no need for Qin Luoyi to accompany you. Allow me to take care of you, Young Master Su!" Wang Bingbing's tone was seductive, entirely contrary to the domineering queen image she previously portrayed. Now she exuded the grace of a refined lady.
In her past life, Wang Bingbing had aimed to impress Su Chen with her domineering persona. However, this approach only distanced him. Therefore, she decided to adopt a gentler, more cultivated demeanor. The unexpected shift created a hush among the gathered crowd, with shock evident on their faces. Had they just witnessed Wang Bingbing, known for her ruthless behavior, apologizing with such politeness and grace to Su Chen? The murderous fiend was now bending to Su Chen's will and even agreeing to accompany him that night. What could this mean?
But inside, Su Chen was panicking. He was utterly confused about the current situation. Did Wang Bingbing, this madwoman, get crazier or did she actually become normal? She's always been so volatile. He had risked a beating by speaking provocatively to her, but the so-called underworld queen didn't seem angry at all. While maintaining a calm exterior, Su Chen was internally terrified, sensing that the events were deviating from the anticipated course. The onlookers were even more horrified, with many speculating that Su Chen's identity was the primary reason for Wang Bingbing's sudden change in behavior. The powerful identity of Su's family heirloom was enough to compel even the fierce Wang Bingbing to show deference.
Unbeknownst to them, Wang Bingbing was ecstatic, stealing glances at Qin Luoyi and silently scoffing at her. In her heart, she thought, "You got the better of me in our past life, but you won't succeed this time." She then said, "I'm honored by Young Master Su's invitation. Let's go then." As she spoke, her alluring figure moved closer to Su Chen.
Not to be outdone, Qin Luoyi interjected, "I think Young Master Su was just joking. After all, he's already engaged." The anger in Qin Luoyi's eyes was unmistakable. She thought, "This despicable woman is up to her old tricks again. You think you can replace me and dine with Su Chen? Dream on! I won't let you succeed." Qin Luoyi then smiled at Su Chen.
Exasperated, Su Chen thought, "Why did you smile so brightly? These two women are utterly vicious." Yet, this was precisely what he wanted. Laughing heartily, Su Chen said, "What does an engagement matter? Would Lin Qingyan dare to say anything? Let's spend a wonderful evening together!" Saying this made Su Chen somewhat nervous, but he felt compelled for the sake of the storyline. He was gradually understanding what was really happening.
How could he forget about his upcoming marriage to Lin Qingyan? Now, they are essentially set to get engaged. If Wang Bingbing pulls a stunt with him, the consequences are obvious: his wedding with Lin Qingyan will inevitably be called off.
So that's how it is. These people are indeed good at scheming, and they have allied together. Without realizing it, he would face severe criticism and disgrace. Calling off the wedding would be a given, but more than that, his reputation would be tarnished and his status as an heir would be out of consideration.
This also explains Lin Qingyan's earlier actions. She first portrayed herself as a virtuous wife, so that if Su Chen made any mistakes later, even if they broke off their engagement, the Su family couldn't say much. And the ultimate calculation was actually resting with Wang Bingbing. He chuckled to himself, thinking, as a supporting character, he should definitely contribute more. Su Chen laughed out loud, saying, "Bingbing, you don't have to bother about our engagement. Just come with me." The corner of Su Chen's mouth curled up, revealing a mischievous grin. According to the 33 storyline iterations, he had completely grasped the characteristics of these female leads.
Especially someone strong-willed like Wang Bingbing, an empress who hates when men get overly familiar; she's bound to get angry. At this moment, Qin Yu suddenly stepped forward, unable to suppress his laughter. He speculated similarly. This was a classic seduction trap! Wang Bingbing intended to sabotage Su Chen and Lin Qingyan's marriage to prevent the Su family from becoming more powerful. Meanwhile, Qin Yu saw this as a test from Wang Bingbing. If he could embarrass Su Chen this time, they might establish a partnership. With this thought, Qin Yu smiled confidently.
"Su Chen, you're shameless! Having already set an engagement and now wanting our Miss Bingbing? It's a downright insult!" Qin Yu sneered, "I despise men like you. Not all the wealthy in the world are just like you." Having said that, he pulled out a glittering VIP card from his pocket. The audience was instantly stunned. Those attending this auction were all affluent or noble, and they recognized the significance of what Qin Yu held. Many gasped. It was the Ruihang Supreme VIP card, a symbol of the highest status, only owned by those with tens of billions in deposits.
And Qin Yu had it! Many widened their eyes, staring at a smug Qin Yu. Everyone was curious about Su Chen's next move. It seemed difficult for anyone to recover the situation at this point. Whether or not money was involved, he was destined to be overshadowed by Qin Yu. Seeing Su Chen's enraged expression, there was an indescribable joy in the crowd's hearts. But what they didn't know was that Su Chen was even happier.
Heh, he was right. Given Qin Yu's character, he would definitely try to step on him. Watching Qin Luo and Wang Bingbing playing off each other, Su Chen couldn't help but admire their acting skills. They were incredibly clever, almost rivaling himself. Worthy of being the female lead, definitely more impressive than his role as the male antagonist. With that in mind, Su Chen, with a sinister expression, shouted, "You bastards! You think you can interfere in my business? Do you want to die?" He continued, "What's so special about Wang Bingbing? You may fear her, but I don't. The Wang family is nowhere near the Su family in comparison. Let me tell you, it's an honor for Wang Bingbing to have my favor!"
