Invincible Urban Evil Doctor

Chapter 617: Chapter 644: Grand Gathering (Part 2)

"Are you saying it can make money?" Lin Xi suddenly asked with great interest.

This caught Shangguan Nishang off guard. She had just mentioned it casually, and in her view, how could there be a lack of money!

Moreover, during the two days of the gambling festival, at least hundreds of thousands of people would participate.

And a few people turned from having nothing to becoming billionaires overnight. Just thinking about it, you know the odds are low, just like buying a lottery ticket.

Of course, this is not the same as buying a lottery ticket. If someone is very skilled in this area, it’s not false that they could get rich.

But for people like that, money isn’t really that important.

However, since Lin Xi asked this way, she still replied, "It’s definitely possible to make money, for those with good luck or a good eye."

She didn’t give a definitive answer because if she said the probability was very low, she was worried it might scare Lin Xi.

After all, the gambling festival is organized by their Shangguan family every year, responsible for arranging related matters and holding some auctions, etc.

This gambling business is also the core business of their family.

Lin Xi was definitely worth their invitation.

As for whether or not one can make money, she just said it depends on eyesight and luck, and didn’t guarantee that you can make money.

So she continued to ask, "What do you think?"

This time, Lin Xi nodded without hesitation. If there’s money to be made and you don’t make it, wouldn’t that be foolish?

Besides, he’s currently short on money.

At this moment, Bai Bing, who had been watching a drama with Lin Mengmeng, turned her head and glanced coldly at Shangguan Nishang,

"Some people can indeed make money at the gambling festival, but for the vast majority, they’re just there for the spectacle."

"And how come you didn’t mention that every time, there are hundreds or thousands of people who lose everything? Some even jump into rivers or off buildings!"

After saying this, she looked at Lin Xi again, "Think it over yourself. If you don’t know what you’re doing, don’t go!"

"Moreover, many businesses within the gambling festival are run by their Shangguan family. They make a huge profit every year."

Lin Xi instantly understood; Shangguan Nishang had approached him because she saw him as wealthy.

After all, he’s the leader of the Dark Night Sect, which shouldn’t be a secret to families like theirs.

Plus, with the large sum of money he recently acquired, totaling billions, well-informed people would all know about it.

Besides, the more than two billion porcelain vase he gave to Shangguan Hong last time would likely be seen as very generous, and people would think he has a good eye for these things.

Considering all these reasons, it’s no surprise Shangguan Nishang would come to him.

At this moment, Shangguan Nishang had nothing much more to say. She and Lin Xi didn’t have much of a relationship, and her purpose was pretty much as Bai Bing had hinted.

Lin Xi looked at Shangguan Nishang and asked, "When?"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Nishang was elated inside and quickly said, "Tomorrow evening."

"I’ll come to pick you up at six o’clock then!"

"Okay." Lin Xi nodded.

Shangguan Nishang beamed with a smile, glancing at Bai Bing with a sense of satisfaction.

This is a big client; every year at this time, the Shangguan family sends people to all the wealthy households in Chuzhou City to extend invitations.

Traditionally, she wouldn’t personally go out to invite people; it’s usually a man’s job.

But now she’s rather interested in Lin Xi, and given her constant rivalry with Bai Bing, she felt more compelled to come.

Ah, women are really strange creatures!

It was indeed getting late, so Shangguan Nishang got up to say goodbye. Tonight was quite satisfactory for her.

Lin Xi walked her to the door, while Bai Bing and Lin Mengmeng didn’t pay any attention to Shangguan Nishang at all, treating her as if she were invisible.

Bai Bing’s reaction was quite normal, but Lin Mengmeng’s reaction—he figured she might have sensed Bai Bing’s hostility towards Shangguan Nishang, hence acting that way.

Actually, it could be said that children’s behavior and habits are mostly imitations of their parents.

When Lin Xi closed the door and returned to the living room, Bai Bing glared at him with a stern face, looking very displeased.

It was the first time he saw President Bai react like this, and he couldn’t help but feel a bit playful inside.
