Chapter 500: Chapter 528: You give it to me first and I will let you... (Second update)
"Alright, Master!" Uncle Fuâs slightly clouded eyes flashed with a sharp light.
Lin Xi happened to notice this and couldnât 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 Xiongâs three brothers didnât 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 wouldnât just face severe punishment but would also be expelled from the family.
At this moment, Lin Xi suddenly felt the old manâs 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 didnât expect that the man Bai Bing found had not only a good eye but could also fight!
Does being able to fight mean heâs physically strong?
Does being strong mean heâs good in that aspect?
"Hahaha, she turns out to be this kind of person!" Shangguan Nishang couldnât 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 Nichangâs boyfriend doesnât 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, theyâd 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 couldnât 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 canât 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 werenât for you, my little grandson wouldnât 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 didnât dare to say now that this guy wasnât actually her boyfriend.
"Old man, youâre too kind. Itâs what I should do!" Lin Xi didnât lie, "Besides, Iâm Xiaohongâs brother-in-law!"
Shangguan Hong nodded like a pecking chick, agreeing wholeheartedly!
The old man was very satisfied with Lin Xiâs 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 couldnât shamelessly ask Lin Xi since it wasnât 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 donât 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 wonât you let me see it?"
"No, because although you donât seem like it, I worry youâll want it once you see it!"
"..."
"Iâm 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 couldnât help but grin mischievously, "You could give it to me too, after all, Iâm 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 doesnât count if you havenât been with me!"
"Have you been with Bai Bing?" Shangguan Nishang probed.
Lin Xi didnât fall for it, "You guess!"
"..."
"Or we could give it a try, and Iâll give it to you. Itâs worth 2.5 billion, with beauty-enhancing effects..."
"...Then give it to me first!"
"Let me be with you first!"
...
Shangguan Yin wasnât 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 âFan Xiaâ 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...
