When the two returned home, the two women at home were not at home.
Mother-in-law Ma Lan has not returned from playing mahjong in the chess and card room, and Xiao Churan has not gotten off work either.
So Ye Chen went back to the bedroom first and took out the lightning strike wood from the box.
A strong spiritual energy emitted from the lightning strike tree.
Ye Chen sat cross-legged on the ground, put the Lightning Strike Wood in the palm of his hand, closed his eyes slightly, and started running the "Nine Mysterious Heavenly Scriptures" in his body, slowly inhaling the spiritual energy into his body.
When he opened his eyes, they were gleaming, and his whole body's aura had changed dramatically.
The Blood Dragon Lightning Strike Wood in his hand was already a little dim.
But even if it loses its spiritual energy, it still retains some strong and upright thunderous aura, which can be regarded as a treasure.
With the help of other treasures, 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 snort coldly and said: "Now that you are so busy, you don't even have to cook anymore. You are waiting for me to serve you, right?"
Ye Chen laughed sarcastically and explained: "I'm sorry, Mom, I was too tired in the afternoon and fell asleep."
"Hey, going to the auction will tire you out? Or will cheating Xiao Hailong tire you out?" Ma Lan said angrily.
Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "I didn't cheat Xiao Hailong, where did you hear this news..."
Ma Lan snorted coldly and said: "Of course it was the old lady who called me to say that it doesn't matter if you are embarrassed, it also caused Xiao Hailong to be kicked out. The old lady called me to scold me! You said you are a waste,
Can you save some worry and cause less trouble for the family?"
Xiao Churan said from the side: "Mom, I think Xiao Hailong was kicked out because he must have caused some trouble himself. It has nothing to do with Ye Chen. Ye Chen is not that kind of person."
"Why doesn't it matter?" Ma Lan angrily threw her chopsticks: "Xiao Hailong filed a complaint after he came back, saying that because Ye Chen obtained the invitation letter by improper means, he was found out and angered the Zhenbao Pavilion, which affected him as a member of the Xiao family.
One of them was also kicked out, and the master of the Zhenbao Pavilion even warned that if the Xiao family is not allowed to go there in the future, his legs will be broken if he does! The Xiao family will be completely embarrassed this time!"
Only then did Xiao Changkun say: "Huh! There's something wrong with that invitation letter. I think it was Xiao Hailong who must have caused the trouble himself. He was afraid that his mother would punish him, so he deliberately passed the blame on Ye Chen...
..”
"You are still here talking to this loser. If you hadn't wanted to go to that auction, what would have happened?" Ma Lan glared at Xiao Changkun and cursed.
Xiao Changkun quickly shut up and ate, not daring to say anything.
Ma Lan said impatiently: "He is a loser. How can he get an invitation letter? Now he has offended Xiao Hailong. I'll see how he ends up..."
Before she could finish speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door, followed by a deep voice.
"Excuse me, is Mr. Ye at home?"
Ma Lan's face became tense and she glared at Ye Chen angrily, "Oops, it must be the old lady who has come to punish me. Look at the good things you have done!"
"Let's take a look first and then talk." Xiao Churan also looked solemn, stood up and walked towards the door.
There was silence in the living room. Ma Lan and Xiao Changkun both stood up nervously, thinking about how to deal with it.
Ye Chen's face darkened. If the old lady confuses right and wrong and brings people to the door to ask for guilt, then he doesn't have to give the old lady face anymore!
Xiao Churan carefully opened the door a crack and asked vigilantly: "What's the matter with you?"
Ye Chen frowned, walked to the door in a hurry, pulled Xiao Churan behind him calmly, and said coldly to the people outside the door: "Are you looking for me?"
A middle-aged man in a neat suit saw him and immediately smiled respectfully: "You must be Mr. Ye Chen. I am the new manager of Zhenbao Pavilion. I just took office this afternoon. The master felt that you left Zhenbao Pavilion in the morning.
I'm very sorry, and I was specially ordered to come to your door with a gift to apologize."
Ye Chen looked at several people in surprise: "Are you from Zhenbao Pavilion?"
"Jumbo Pavilion?"
Xiao Churan, who was standing behind him, was also stunned.
The man hurriedly said: "Our pavilion master felt deeply guilty for Mr. Ye's departure. He kicked out Xiao Hailong, who was causing trouble, on the spot, and also stopped the auction. The reception of Zhenbao Pavilion was not good. This is our fault.
We made a mistake. I hope Mr. Ye can forgive us regardless of the past grudges."
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he waved his hand behind him.
Several strong men in black immediately carried the gifts and placed them at the door.
Ye Chen took a glance and saw that there were quite a few gifts!
A box of limited edition "Yellow Crane Tower" and a box of limited edition 30-year-old Moutai Feitian wine!
In addition, there is a pair of Ming Dynasty antique vases and a tortoiseshell Go set!
These gifts are worth over one million!
"Mr. Ye, this is Zhenbao Pavilion's mistake. The master is currently preparing for a new auction with Miss Song and is unable to come here, so he asked me to come and apologize on his behalf. He said that he will apologize to you in person 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 your things down."
The middle-aged man then took out two golden invitations from his pocket, handed them to Ye Chen respectfully, and continued: "This is an invitation to the new auction. Please make sure you and Mr. Xiao go there. I promise this time
We will not let you down again, please give us a chance to make amends!"
After speaking, he explained: "There is also a special Zhenbao Pavilion Imperial VIP Card. We have only issued ten of these cards, which are valid for life. When you come to Zhenbao Pavilion, you can enjoy the highest privileges!"
Ye Chen glanced at the VIP card. The card surface was golden and made of gold foil and diamonds.
He said calmly: "I'm not very interested in auctions. You should ask my dad what he means."
"Okay." The middle-aged man quickly held the card in front of Xiao Changkun and said with an apologetic smile: "Mr. Xiao, I'm really sorry for today. Please be sure to attend the day after tomorrow."
"This..." Xiao Changkun had already calmed down from the shock, glanced at the VIP card, and couldn't help but swallow.
He recognized that this was Zhenbao Pavilion's limited-edition VIP card, which was only issued to high-status members of the cabinet and was not sold to the public at all!
People with this VIP card can enter and exit the Treasure Pavilion freely, and they also enjoy the highest treatment. They can enjoy all the antiques and antiques in the pavilion at will, and they can also buy them at a high discount.
Xiao Changkun couldn't refuse such a temptation.
Just as he was about to take it shamelessly, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side and snatched away both VIP cards.
I saw Ye Chen's mother-in-law, Ma Lan, grabbing two VIP cards with a smile on her face. She was beaming with joy and said, "Since you are here to apologize, I will reluctantly accept these gifts and VIP cards. There will be an auction the day after tomorrow."
