Chapter 626: Chapter 653: Revenge (Part 4)
When he opened the door, it was indeed Shangguan Nishang.
Today, her style was more minimalist, and the seductive charm was greatly subdued, making her appear more like an upper-class elite.
Lin Xi guessed it was probably because it was the Stone Gambling Festival today.
She didn’t come in when invited, saying only that Bai Bing wasn’t home and asking if he was alone in the house.
If he was alone, she wouldn’t dare to come in, worried about getting eaten!
He told Lin Mengmeng to wait for her mother Bai Bing to come back, as he had something urgent to do.
Lin Mengmeng didn’t take her eyes off the TV and just nodded in agreement.
This left Lin Xi speechless. Is Boonie Bears really that good to watch? Why do all kids love it so much!!!
Outside, Shangguan Nishang heard someone inside, her wary expression softened, and she stepped inside.
"..." Lin Xi.
Afterwards, he got into Shangguan Nishang’s silver sports car and headed towards the venue of the Stone Gambling Festival.
The Stone Gambling Festival in Chuzhou City lasts for two days.
It actually started at 8 o’clock this morning, but it was mostly people browsing or trading some items.
It’s much like an ordinary day, but there are way more people than usual.
After all, stone gambling enthusiasts from all over the world have come, so it’s no wonder there are crowds.
Around 6:30, Shangguan Nishang’s car stopped at the dedicated parking lot of a five-star hotel.
This hotel belongs to the Shangguan family and is also the most important venue for the annual stone gambling event. Naturally, the security is extremely tight.
At this time of year, ordinary people simply cannot enter the hotel.
The entire area, with the hotel as the center, is surrounded by stone gambling shops and stalls.
This shows how prestigious stone gambling is in Chuzhou City.
After getting out of the car, they reached the lobby and saw many well-dressed people holding invitation cards, undergoing strict security checks before being allowed inside.
Seeing this, Lin Xi couldn’t help but ask, "Has the auction started?"
The reason he and Shangguan Nishang came to the hotel was to attend this top-tier auction, hoping to make a great profit.
Hearing this, Shangguan Nishang smiled sweetly, her demeanor seemingly returning to her true nature, exuding an enchanting charm in every gesture.
Then she said with apparent pride, "It’s still early. The auction starts at eight, so there’s still an hour and a half!"
"..." Lin Xi was taken aback and asked again, "Then why did you bring me here so early? Is there something else?"
Shangguan Nishang smiled again, "No other reason. You can wander around first, or go to the venue on the fifth floor and find a seat to rest."
"I’ve got a lot to do now, so I won’t disturb you."
With that, she left.
Lin Xi, "..."
It took him a while to react; she did it on purpose, didn’t she!
Because as he watched the people coming in, he realized he didn’t know anyone.
So, was Shangguan Nishang taking revenge on him?
Yes, definitely.
But by then, she had already left, so he couldn’t retaliate. Besides, he’s not the petty type; at most, he’d just make her ... take some pants off and give her a small lesson.
Feeling bored, Lin Xi headed out of the hotel.
The bunch of security guards at the entrance didn’t stop him; after all, he was brought by the young lady herself and she had given instructions.
Once outside and walking a few steps, he found it hard to move.
Because there were simply too many people, it was a sea of humanity.
Everywhere, from stone gambling shops to stalls and eateries, was filled with people.
"Huh?" Passing by a stall, he suddenly stopped, a light exclamation in his mind.
