When the two returned home, neither of the women in the family were at home.

Mother-in-law Ma Lan went to the chess and card room to play mahjong but hadn't come back yet, and Xiao Churan didn't get off work either.

So Ye Chen first returned to the bedroom and took out the lightning-striking wood from the box.

A rich spiritual energy came out of the lightning-striking wood.

Ye Chen sat cross-legged on the ground, put the lightning-striking wood in his palm, closed his eyes slightly, and operated the "Nine Profound Heavenly Sutra" mental method in his body, slowly sucking the spiritual energy into his body.

When he opened his eyes, his eyes were shining and his aura changed drastically.

The blood dragon and thunder strike wood in his hand was already a little dim.

But even if it loses spiritual energy, it still retains some of the most powerful and upright thunderous aura, which is considered a treasure.

If there are other treasures to assist, Ye Chen can now use it to refine some simple magic weapons.

When I came out of the room, it was already evening.

As soon as he arrived in the living room, Ye Chen heard his mother-in-law snorting coldly and said, "Now he is so arrogant that he doesn't have to cook anymore. I'll wait for me to serve you, right?"

Ye Chen smiled embarrassedly and explained: "I'm sorry, mom, I was too tired in the afternoon and fell asleep."

"Yeah, will you exhaust you when you go to the auction? Or will you exhaust Xiao Hailong?" Ma Lan said angrily.

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment before shook his head and said, "I didn't cheat Xiao Hailong, where did you hear the news..."

Ma Lan snorted coldly and said, "Of course it was the old lady who called to say it. It would be fine if you were embarrassed, but Xiao Hailong was driven out. The old lady called me and scolded me! You said, "Can you save some time and cause less trouble for the family?"

Xiao Churan said from the side: "Mom, I think Xiao Hailong was driven out. It must be because he caused some trouble. It has nothing to do with Ye Chen. Ye Chen is not that kind of person."

"Why is it okay?" Ma Lan blew his chopsticks angrily: "When Xiao Hailong came back, he complained, saying that because Ye Chen used improper means to get the invitation letter, he angered Zhenbao Pavilion after being found out, and implicated him as one of the Xiao family members, and was also driven out. The owner of Zhenbao Pavilion even made a statement, and he would not let the Xiao family go in the future, and if he went there, he would break his legs! The Xiao family was embarrassed this time!"

Xiao Changkun said at this time: "Hmph! That invitation letter is fine at all. I think it must be that Xiao Hailong caused trouble himself. He was afraid that his mother would punish him, so he deliberately blamed Ye Chen..."

"You are still here to help this cowardly. If you didn't want to go to that auction, could these things happen?" Ma Lan glared at Xiao Changkun and cursed.

Xiao Changkun quickly shut up and did not dare to speak.

Ma Lan said impatiently: "He is a coward. He can get an invitation letter if he has any ability. Now he offended Xiao Hailong. I see how he ends..."

Before she could finish her words, a knock on the door suddenly rang out, followed by a low voice.

"May I ask, is Mr. Ye at home?"

Ma Lan's face was nervous and she glared at Ye Chen angrily, "Oh no, it must be the old lady who came to ask for punishment. It depends on your good deeds!"

"Look first, let's talk about it." Xiao Churan also looked solemn, and stood up and walked towards the door.

There was a silence in the living room, and Ma Lan and Xiao Changkun stood up nervously, thinking about how to deal with it.

Ye Chen's face was slightly dark. If the old lady turned black and white and led someone to the door to ask for guilt, then he would no longer have to give the old lady face!

Xiao Churan carefully opened the door a crack and asked vigilantly: "What's wrong with you?"

Ye Chen frowned, walked to the door with a quick glance, pulled Xiao Churan behind him without hesitation, and said coldly to the person outside the door: "Are you looking for me?"

A middle-aged man in a well-suited suit suddenly smiled respectfully when he saw him, "You are Mr. Ye Chen. I am the new manager of Zhenbao Pavilion. I just took office in the afternoon. In the morning, the owner of the Pavilion was very sorry for your departure from Zhenbao Pavilion. He specially ordered me to come to the door with a gift to apologize."

Ye Chen looked at the people in surprise: "Are you from Zhenbao Pavilion?"

"Treasure Pavilion?"

Xiao Churan, who was standing behind him, was also stunned.

The man hurriedly said, "Our pavilion master was deeply guilty of Mr. Ye's departure. He drove Xiao Hailong, who was in trouble, out on the spot and stopped the auction. The Zhenbao Pavilion was not well-received, which was our mistake. I hope Mr. Ye can forgive us without any grudges."

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he waved his hand behind him.

Several strong men in black immediately took gifts and placed them at the door.

Ye Chen glanced at him and saw that there were quite a lot of gifts!

A box of limited edition "Yellow Crane Tower", a box of limited edition 30-year-old Moutai Feitian wine!

In addition, there is a pair of antique vases of the Ming Dynasty and a set of tortoiseshell Go!

These gifts are worth over one million!

"Mr. Ye, this is a mistake in Zhenbao Pavilion. The owner of the Pavilion is now preparing for a new auction with Miss Song and cannot come with him, so he asked me to apologize on his behalf, saying that he will apologize to you personally when he has the opportunity. Please forgive me!"

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he bowed deeply in front of Ye Chen.

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Okay, put down the things."

The middle-aged man then took out two golden invitation letters from his pocket, respectfully handed them to Ye Chen, and continued: "This is an invitation letter for the new auction. Please and Mr. Xiao must go there. This time I promise not to disappoint you again. Please give us a chance to make up for it!"

After saying that, he explained: "There are also special Treasure Pavilion Emperor-level VIP cards. We only sent ten cards, which are valid for life. When you come to Treasure Pavilion, you can enjoy the highest gift!"

Ye Chen glanced at the VIP card. The card surface was golden and it was decorated with diamonds inlaid with gold foil.

He said lightly: "I'm not very interested in auctions, please ask my dad what he means."

"Okay." The middle-aged man quickly held the card in front of Xiao Changkun, and said with a pity, "Mr. Xiao, I'm really sorry today. Please be sure to attend the meeting the day after tomorrow."

"This..." Xiao Changkun had calmed down from his shock, looked at the VIP card, and couldn't help swallowing his throat.

He recognized that this was a limited-level VIP card from Zhenbao Pavilion, and it was only sent to members of the cabinet with status and was not sold to the public at all!

Those who own this VIP card are free to enter and exit in the Treasure Pavilion and enjoy the highest treatment. They can enjoy all cultural and antiques in the Pavilion at will, and there will be high discounts if you buy it.

Xiao Changkun couldn't refuse such temptation.

Just as he was about to take it with a thick face, he suddenly stretched out a hand from the side and snatched away both VIP cards.
Chapter completed!
