Chapter 500: Chapter 528: You give it to me first and I will let you... (Second update)
"Alright, Master!" Uncle Fu’s slightly clouded eyes flashed with a sharp light.
Lin Xi happened to notice this and couldn’t help but think to himself, "This Uncle Fu actually has the strength of the King of Soldiers. It seems that this family, which has been around for hundreds of years, has its reasons for existing."
The faces of Shangguan Xiong’s three brothers didn’t look good either. Even though they competed fiercely with each other, they stood united against outsiders.
This was also their tradition. If anyone violated it, no matter who you were, you wouldn’t just face severe punishment but would also be expelled from the family.
At this moment, Lin Xi suddenly felt the old man’s gaze resting on him alone.
Or rather, at this moment, the gaze of most people present followed the old man and looked at Lin Xi.
Even Shangguan Nishang, who was beside Lin Xi, looked at him curiously. She didn’t expect that the man Bai Bing found had not only a good eye but could also fight!
Does being able to fight mean he’s physically strong?
Does being strong mean he’s good in that aspect?
"Hahaha, she turns out to be this kind of person!" Shangguan Nishang couldn’t help but laugh as she thought.
However, thoughts aside, she actually understood Bai Bing well. Bai Bing was not that kind of superficial person!
So what other differences does this little man have?
"This Nichang’s boyfriend doesn’t seem to be an ordinary person, either!" the old man thought to himself. Because he had been watching him for a while without saying anything, but his demeanor was very calm, very natural, not like someone pretending.
If it were other members of the Shangguan family, even his three sons, they’d be uneasy being watched this way.
Indeed, to be able to spot a fake at a glance, to fish these two treasures from a pile of junk, and to buy them at a meager price, this person couldn’t be ordinary!
Although the little grandson said it was a coincidental discovery by his brother-in-law, such words could only fool children.
Moreover, being able to fight well, such a young man with both brains and brawn is extremely rare in Chuzhou City!
"Surname Lin? There are no big families or influential people with the surname Lin in Chuzhou City!" the old man thought to himself. "Could it be the capital?"
"There is indeed a family there with overwhelming power, even the Shangguan family can’t compare to a tenth of them!"
The atmosphere in the hall was somewhat different as the old man remained silent.
Suddenly, the old man spoke to Lin Xi, "Thank you, Xiaolin, for your hard work tonight. If it weren’t for you, my little grandson wouldn’t have been able to buy this treasure and would most likely have been in danger!"
The others, especially Shangguan Xiong and Fan Xia, looked at Lin Xi with extreme satisfaction.
Shangguan Nishang, however, was a bit troubled. She didn’t dare to say now that this guy wasn’t actually her boyfriend.
"Old man, you’re too kind. It’s what I should do!" Lin Xi didn’t lie, "Besides, I’m Xiaohong’s brother-in-law!"
Shangguan Hong nodded like a pecking chick, agreeing wholeheartedly!
The old man was very satisfied with Lin Xi’s attitude. As for his background and the Antique Street incident, there was no need to ask any further!
No matter who Lin Xi was, as long as he treated Nichang wholeheartedly, he had nothing against it here.
As for the other treasure, the Jade Pendant, although he was tempted, he couldn’t shamelessly ask Lin Xi since it wasn’t mentioned.
Next, everyone started eating and chatting.
"Can I take a look at your Jade Pendant?" Shangguan Nishang asked Lin Xi softly.
But Lin Xi shook his head, "No, what if you don’t return it?"
Shangguan Nishang was momentarily speechless, angrily replying, "Do I look like that kind of person to you?"
"No!" Lin Xi said.
"Then why won’t you let me see it?"
"No, because although you don’t seem like it, I worry you’ll want it once you see it!"
"..."
"I’m planning to give it to Bai Bing!" Lin Xi continued, as if deliberately provoking Shangguan Nishang.
Mind you, the two of them were arch-enemies, the kind where whatever one had, the other wanted to take away.
So when Lin Xi said this, Shangguan Nishang couldn’t help but grin mischievously, "You could give it to me too, after all, I’m your girlfriend!"
"Really?" Lin Xi retorted.
"Really..." Shangguan Nishang nodded.
But what Lin Xi said next made her want to hit him. He said, "It doesn’t count if you haven’t been with me!"
"Have you been with Bai Bing?" Shangguan Nishang probed.
Lin Xi didn’t fall for it, "You guess!"
"..."
"Or we could give it a try, and I’ll give it to you. It’s worth 2.5 billion, with beauty-enhancing effects..."
"...Then give it to me first!"
"Let me be with you first!"
...
Shangguan Yin wasn’t feeling great, glancing at Lin Xi occasionally, thinking to himself, "A 2.5 billion Jade Pendant, with effects similar to a porcelain cup, I must get it!"
PS: Thank you for your recommended votes and monthly tickets. Yesterday, the character ’Fan Xia’ was actually suggested by a student in the supporting role building. The student said it was the name of their homeroom teacher. It seems like this homeroom teacher is quite a nice person...
