Invincible Urban Evil Doctor

Chapter 1024: Chapter 1033: Where’s Third? (Part 1)

But Bai Bing knew that the lipstick Qiaoqiao took, from the KissKiss Cold&Diamonds series, was at least a few hundred thousand RMB, and the necklace on Mengmeng’s neck, a Swarovski’s classic piece, should be valued at over half a million RMB.

To be honest, what she usually wore wasn’t cheap either, all custom-made, and her jewelry was from international brands.

But something this expensive still felt a bit extravagant, even though she wasn’t short on money.

Nevertheless, deep down, she was genuinely happy.

After all, these gifts from her man, even when he’s away, showed he hadn’t forgotten about them.

"What’s inside this box of unknown brand?" she pondered secretly.

Beside her, Su Qiaoqiao and Lin Mengmeng were so busy admiring their gifts that they didn’t notice the expression on Bai Bing’s face.

Lin Xi sat to the side, smiling without speaking.

Gifts, naturally, should be opened by herself; saying it would ruin the surprise.

These gifts were purchased by him during his spare time in London while accompanying two women shopping.

Dili Bare and Xie Ziqi, in fact, didn’t know that Lin Xi had bought these things.

The reason lay with Lin Xi.

He bought a lot of gifts at the fastest speed during his spare time.

His standard was very simple: enter a store and ask the clerk where their most expensive items were.

Hmm, then just pay to settle it.

After all, for him, only the price could determine the quality.

Moreover, the stores he visited were reputable and famous, without counterfeit goods. Even if there were, Lin Xi could discern them; at most, they would just be a bit overpriced.

But regarding the price, he didn’t care.

Because what he lacked the least was money.

At that time, the shop owners he visited went wild.

It could be said that Lin Xi was the most forthright and straightforward customer they had ever seen.

Bai Bing didn’t hesitate and opened the box, revealing a pink star diamond ring inside.

This ring, with a very large diamond, weighed at least over fifty carats, almost looking naturally cut.

To the average person, this was just a ring with a large diamond.

But Bai Bing knew this ring was called the Pink Star Love Diamond Ring.

It had a history of hundreds of years, never having a definite owner since its debut, being too expensive, requiring at least tens of millions of dollars to acquire.

She also knew that this diamond ring was the treasure of the largest gemstone store in London, claiming it was not for sale to the public.

In fact, she knew that as long as there was enough money, it could be bought.

The price, of course, would be more than doubled.

"This..." Even the usually indifferent and composed Bai Bing couldn’t stay calm at this moment.

Every woman loves beauty and precious jewelry, which significantly enhances how others perceive them.

"This is too expensive!" she said.

Lin Xi shook his head, "It’s not expensive for you."

"And I think only it is barely worthy of you."

At this moment, Su Qiaoqiao and Lin Mengmeng were also drawn over, seeing the ring in Bai Bing’s box.

Suddenly, they were deeply attracted by the ring’s charm.

If their lipsticks and necklaces were stunning and undoubtedly expensive,

now, compared to this ring, the difference was exponential.

Qiaoqiao immediately said, "Sister Bai, put it on quickly; it must look amazing."

Mengmeng nodded in envy; it was just too beautiful.

Hmm, her necklace was beautiful too.

Bai Bing didn’t hesitate and put the diamond ring on her ring finger.

She admired it with a satisfied nod; it did look quite good.

"Let’s go, have breakfast!" Lin Xi, seeing the three women happy, felt content too.

Only then did the three women realize that the fragrance they smelled upstairs was from the breakfast Lin Xi made.

In an instant, they all moved to the dining table, eating as if they hadn’t had a meal in days.

For them, with Lin Xi away these days, they lived on takeout.

But let’s be honest, takeout isn’t healthy, and the taste isn’t that great.

But, to fill their stomachs, they had no choice but to order it.

Now, eating Lin Xi’s homemade breakfast was pure enjoyment for them.

Then Lin Xi asked, did something happen to the company?

Because on the plane, he received a message that his account had been deducted by ninety percent.

When Chen Bainan allied with other shareholders to try and swallow the Bai family, he only spent over a billion to settle it.

But now, over nine billion was spent, and he was naturally shocked.

"Acquired a company, ensuring in core areas we won’t face threats from others in the future!" she said.

Previously, the Chen family controlled core elements.

So, in the future, many things were restrained by them.

Alright, Lin Xi didn’t mind much. He fully trusted Bai Bing concerning the company’s matters.

"Using your money, give me some time, and I’ll repay you!" she said.

Lin Xi shook his head; it didn’t matter to him.

He felt making money was still easy, especially visiting a Secret Realm or Holy Land, encountering innate and King of Soldiers experts, and he could definitely earn a fortune.

But if those people knew about this idea, they’d be utterly irritated.

After breakfast, Lin Xi headed to school.

Today was Wednesday, and he had a lot of classes.

More crucially, he had missed two days, and he hadn’t notified Zhu Ying.

What was strange was that he hadn’t informed Zhu Ying, but why hadn’t she called him?

She surely would have noticed his two-day absence.

If she noticed, with her temper, she would surely be outraged and call him.

Did she really not notice?

Or noticed but didn’t care?

Or, was she unwell these last two days, with her condition acting up?

Thinking about it, this possibility seemed too small, almost zero.

In the classroom, his classmates didn’t care much about the sudden reappearance of someone who had been absent for two days.

In their minds, Lin Xi skipping class was a habit.

Having missed a few days wasn’t a big deal.

After greeting Gu Xiaoxian, Lin Xi sat beside Peng Bo and Cui Hua’s seats, asking with some curiosity, "Where’s the third?"

The third being Xiong Haitao.

Upon hearing the boss ask about the third, the expressions of both turned unpleasant, somewhat hesitant, as if something uncertain had happened.
