Let s Squander A Billion First! Chapter 221 – Chapter 221: Chapter 221: The King's Return (18)

Chapter 221: Chapter 221: The King's Return (18)
 

Chuzheng asked the bodyguard to get the invitation, not planning to pay any more attention to Sheng Ting and his group.

“We're together.”

The bodyguard's invitation hadn't come out yet when an invitation was passed to the front.

Chuzheng, who was about to take action, withdrew her movement.

“Miss Sheng, you don't have a male companion, do you?”

The young man casually put one hand in his pocket, his nonchalant gaze sweeping over, a faint smile hooked at the corner of his mouth.

“No.”

“Would I have the honor of being Miss Sheng's male companion?” the young man asked elegantly, holding out his hand.

Chuzheng thought for a moment before placing her hand in his, and the young man lightly held it.

Jiang Ye hadn't planned to step forward, but with the appearance of Sheng Ting, he changed his mind.

With Chuzheng's hand in his, the young man looped his arm around her slender waist and looked carelessly toward Sheng Ting, nodding in greeting, “Mr. Sheng, a pleasure to meet you.”

“Who is that guy?”

“Second Master Jiang, Jiang Ye.”

“The Second Master Jiang of Hei Jin?”

“So young?”

Having greeted them, Jiang Ye then led Chuzheng towards the yacht. Sheng Ting blocked their path.

“Mr. Jiang, please let go of Zhenzhen.”

Sheng Ting's entire being was radiating a sharpness, with a dark gloom in his eyes that made one feel very uncomfortable.

Jiang Ye was much more casual, his lips still bearing a faint smile, “Mr. Sheng, Miss Sheng has chosen me. How could I let go of my companion? That would be very impolite.”

Without waiting for Sheng Ting to speak, Jiang Ye added, “Mr. Sheng, your companion is watching you. Making a girl feel so embarrassed is not what a man should do. Do be careful not to desire the pot while eating from your bowl.”

Sheng Ting frowned.

Zhuang Yi's eyes were tearful, and she looked at Sheng Ting pitifully.

Jiang Ye called her out, and Zhuang Yi seized the opportunity to softly call out to him, “Brother Ting.”

Sheng Ting clenched his fists, unwillingness evident in his eyes.

That girl should have been standing by his side…

But indeed, causing a scene now would be inappropriate.

He stared at Jiang Ye as if trying to discern something from him, and after half a minute, he stepped aside.

Sheng Ting said in a low voice, “Mr. Jiang, a pleasure to meet you.”

Jiang Ye smiled lightly.

“It's a private party; bodyguards can't follow.”

The bodyguard was stopped below, and Chuzheng said nothing, following Jiang Ye inside.

The yacht transfers people to the cruise ship, where a thorough check is performed upon boarding to ensure no dangerous items are being carried on board.

Even mobile phones had to be stored away.

The cruise ship's deck was bustling, filled with a mingling of scents and shadows, and the clinking of glasses and toasts.

Jiang Ye still had his arm around Chuzheng's waist, leaning in close to her, “Miss Sheng, what are you here for?”

Chuzheng glanced over the crowd, her tone indifferent, “Looking for someone.”

Jiang Ye was somewhat pleasantly surprised that she would reveal this to him so straightforwardly.

He then asked with a hint of confusion, “Looking for whom?”

Chuzheng took out a phone, unlocked it, and showed him a photo.

“…Miss Sheng, I'm curious where you hid your phone?” Jiang Ye's focus wasn't on the photo.

Just now, with such a thorough check, how did she manage to get it through?

“…”

That question was somewhat complex.

Chuzheng found it a bit troublesome to explain.

But Jiang Ye, thinking she didn't want to talk about it, shifted the topic, “Is this person related to those who attacked you before?”

“Somewhat,” Chuzheng nodded.

Jiang Ye handed the phone back to her, “Who have you offended? Those people are mercenaries. How could someone want to pay such a high price for a young lady like you?”

Chuzheng replied with a serious face, “I'd really like to know that myself.”

That's why I'm here.

Jiang Ye was silent.

–

The cruise ship had several floors, each offering different amusements.

Jiang Ye didn't follow Chuzheng, and the two separated rather tacitly.

Chuzheng searched floor by floor but didn't see the person she was looking for.

She stood on the second-floor corridor, looking down at the deck.

Sheng Ting was speaking with people, Zhuang Yi by his side. They appeared to be a handsome couple made by the heavens, perfectly matched.

Sheng Ting clearly already had his Sweetheart.

So why was he still clinging to the original owner?

“`

Is it more fragrant in the pot?

Have you ever considered the feelings of the bowl?

Jerk!

[Main Mission: Spend a billion within one hour.]

Chuzheng: “…”

I was wrong.

I shouldn't have called him a jerk.

[…??] What is Miss busy imagining now?

You're the jerk!

[…] King's Account was infuriated, how could it be the jerk? How long has it been since it issued a mission?! Why is Miss so unreasonable when speaking!!

Forcing me to squander a billion, aren't you a jerk!?

[…] King's Account ground its teeth, [Main Mission: Spend two billion within one hour!]

Having said that, King's Account disappeared.

Chuzheng: “…”

Chuzheng was flabbergasted.

No… No way!

Is this even allowed?

Bastard, this dog thing!

–

There are many places to spend money on the cruise ship.

All the entertainment here costs money.

On top of that, there's gambling, but of course, Bastard says gambling is an illegal way to squander and will be considered a mission failure, with a penalty of starting over with double the amount.

Starting over with double the amount…

Starting over with double the amount…

To hell with starting over with double the amount…

Chuzheng grabbed a waiter: “Excuse me, do you have anywhere here that's good for squandering money?”

Waiter: “???”

The other party sized up Chuzheng and cautiously replied, “Madam can go to the third floor, where there are many jewelry items.”

Girls should like these things, right?

“Do you have anything expensive, like the kind that costs one or two billion?” How much jewelry do I have to buy to spend two billion?

“…”

Five minutes later, the waiter took Chuzheng to an auction.

The auction was already in full swing, and the front seats were packed. Chuzheng got a bidding number and sat at the back.

Chuzheng watched for ten minutes and realized that some of the items being auctioned were legal, some were in a gray area, and as for others, she had no idea where they came from.

“The starting bid is ten million.”

Where's the expensive stuff you promised?

Ten million is expensive for what?

“Mr. Sheng bids fifteen million!”

Chuzheng looked up to the front, where Sheng Ting was sitting with Zhuang Yi in the first row.

The item on auction was a necklace, presumably being bought for Zhuang Yi.

Chuzheng raised her bid number.

“This lady bids sixteen million!”

Sheng Ting didn't look back but simply raised the bid.

When Sheng Ting raised his number, Chuzheng followed with hers.

In no time, the whole auction was left to just Chuzheng and Sheng Ting.

“Who is that? Contending with Sheng Ting, do they have a death wish?”

“It seems to be Sheng Chuzheng…”

Those who had seen Chuzheng before the cruise were whispering quietly.

The words “Sheng Chuzheng” reached Sheng Ting's ears, and he turned to look back.

The young girl was sitting in the last row, her elegant and dignified presence unmistakable even amidst the crowd.

Sheng Ting's brow furrowed slightly, but he did not continue.

In the following auctions, as long as Sheng Ting raised his bidding paddle, Chuzheng was sure to follow.

Anyway, her stance was straightforward: she would not let Sheng Ting win anything.

Zhuang Yi was furious.

Sheng Ting had come here at her request.

Sheng Ting was always generous with money, and she could have anything she wanted as long as she was obedient; he was never stingy.

But who would have expected Sheng Chuzheng to show up!!

She sneaked a glance at Sheng Ting's darkened expression, daring not to even think, just silently fuming inside.
