Chapter 644: Chapter 671: You’ll Know Soon (Part 1)
Shangguan Hong indeed knows, but he has no chance to say it now.
As soon as the two of them entered the hotel, Shangguan Nishang happened to come down from the elevator and saw them from afar, walking towards them.
In fact, she was looking for Lin Xi.
After all, Lin Xi was invited by her, but she waited in the conference room on the fifth floor for a good while, and with the auction about to start, Lin Xi was nowhere to be seen.
So, she couldn’t help but come down to find someone.
And here she saw Lin Xi, and also, Shangguan Hong?
"Why is this naughty kid here?"
"Wasn’t he supposed to be at home?"
Instantly, Shangguan Nishang was in a headache. This naughty kid must have snuck out again, really giving her no peace of mind.
Before today, she and her parents had thoroughly instructed Shangguan Hong to stay quietly at home these days, not even thinking about running out, especially not coming to the gambling stone street.
Because, nowadays in Chuzhou City, there’s a mix of all kinds of people.
And their Shangguan family, being one of the oldest families, surely has many enemies, big and small. Plus, they are hosting the stone gambling festival these days, who knows how many shady people are eyeing them.
Shangguan Hong’s mood dropped the moment he saw his sister upon entering the door!
What a bad luck!!!
"I’m going to get scolded!" He immediately shrank behind Lin Xi, looking like he didn’t dare to meet Shangguan Nishang’s eyes.
As Shangguan Nishang approached, she ignored Shangguan Hong and asked Lin Xi, "What happened? Didn’t we agree you’d wait in the hotel? The auction is about to start, and you still haven’t arrived."
After saying this, she didn’t wait for Lin Xi to reply, instead, she continued, "Hurry up and follow me upstairs!"
Lin Xi nodded and followed her towards the elevator, but Shangguan Hong stayed in place, hesitating whether to follow.
At this moment, Shangguan Nishang turned around and glared at him, "Get over here now!"
Hearing this, Shangguan Hong chuckled sheepishly and scampered over, but before he could cozy up, he heard his sister say, "Wait until tonight, you’ll get what’s coming!"
"No time to deal with you now, just stay put later on!"
Shangguan Hong, "..."
Quickly nodded in agreement.
The three of them got onto the elevator, Shangguan Hong with a crying face, not daring to look directly at Shangguan Nishang.
Instead, Lin Xi asked at this moment, "Aren’t auctions about selling things? How do you make money?"
He was probably dazzled by the word ’money-making’ and just remembered to ask this question now.
After all, in the public eye, auctions are where everyone bids on some treasures, the highest bidder wins, and generally, the prices are significantly higher than the outside market.
Of course, the auction items are not something you’d usually see on the market, so being expensive is justified.
But, how to make money?
Could he have been tricked? Does he have to spend money?
As for spending money, Lin Xi doesn’t have the previous nonchalance, because lately, the spending has been really intense!
It’s not that he has something to spend on, the key thing is, such a big harem needs money!
Some people are willing to spend money on themselves, but when it comes to spending on parents or their wives, they are very stingy.
Such people are bound to be disliked!
For Lin Xi, parents give you life, raise you, and take care of you, what’s there to be stingy about, and as for your wife, she marries you, willing to give you children, why hesitate!
In life, you can’t just consider yourself, that would be too selfish!
Shangguan Nishang saw the confusion in Lin Xi’s eyes and couldn’t help but laugh, "You’ll know in a moment!"
And to ease Lin Xi’s worry, she continued, "As long as you have a good eye and courage, you can earn quite a bit!"
"Alright, I’ll believe you for now, but if it’s not like you said, I’ll teach you a lesson!" Lin Xi thought to himself as he saw the elevator doors open.
