Although an hour had passed since the auction ended, there were still a large number of guests in the manor who had not yet left.
After all, in such a high-end social occasion, how could they be willing to leave early?
Xiao Yun and others found a place on the first floor to sit down and chat. Soon, among the passing guests, some sharp-eyed people recognized the necklace around Lin Xueer's neck.
"Oh my God, isn't that Queen Mary's necklace that was just photographed?"
"Yes! Three hundred and fifty million! I didn't expect it to be taken by such a young and beautiful lady."
"What are you thinking about? Didn't you hear the harsh words spoken to the boss in the front row at the venue? Was it a man's voice?"
"Could it be the young man next to her who took the photo? My God, she is so young and promising..."
After a while, the area around a few people gradually became lively.
Many female guests pretended to pass by with wine glasses in their hands, but in fact they just wanted to see this priceless necklace up close and personal, because this luxurious necklace has a fatal attraction for all women!
Some male guests came up to talk to Xiao Yun with smiles, and even took the initiative to hand over their business cards. It seemed that everyone wanted to get acquainted with the "mysterious man" who took the necklace.
After all, someone who is willing to spend 350 million to buy a necklace and dares to shout about the boss in the front row in front of so many people must have considerable financial resources and strength!
Zhou Lixin, who had not yet left the scene, quickly noticed the movement here.
"Uncle Wu, I heard that the person who took the picture of Queen Mary's necklace showed up. He's over there. Should we go over and have a look?" Zhou Lixin also wanted to take this opportunity to expand his network of contacts.
Wu Yong thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go and have a look."
Zhou Lixin straightened his collar and combed his hair, and then walked in that direction with his head held high, obviously wanting to leave a good impression on the other party.
At this time, the seat of the "mysterious man" was already surrounded by men and women.
Zhou Lixin recognized several of them at a glance. They were local wealthy businessmen in Zhongyang City. They were handing out their business cards with nods and bows. At the outermost part of the crowd, there were many beautiful ladies who kept exclaiming in admiration.
"Sorry, I borrowed it, I borrowed it." Zhou Lixin pushed aside the crowd arrogantly and shamelessly squeezed to the front.
"Hello, sir, my name is Zhou Lixin, and I am one of the Four Great Masters in Jiangzhou..."
However.
Before Zhou Lixin finished speaking, he saw that the person sitting on the seat was Xiao Yun, whom he hated so much!
For a moment, he felt that all the muscles in his body were frozen, and the hand holding the business card that he handed over made him feel even more ashamed!
Looking over again, I saw the beautiful Lin Xueer sitting next to Xiao Yun, and in front of her chest as white as snow, she was wearing the necklace that everyone was talking about!
"Buzz!"
Zhou Lixin suddenly felt a ringing in his ears, and his eyes felt dizzy. He took two steps back, pointed at Lin Xueer with astonishment in his eyes and said: "Xueer, Xiang Xiangxiang... why are you wearing the necklace on you?!"
Hearing this, Lin Xueer frowned, her face instantly turned cold, and she asked angrily: "Young Master Zhou, what do you mean by this? In your eyes, am I not worthy of this necklace?"
Zhou Lixin had previously found someone to cast a bewitching spell on Lin Xueer and controlled her like a puppet for more than a month. After Lin Xueer recovered, he had a ghost in his heart and did not dare to face her directly. Now he was attracted by Lin Xueer.
He asked with a cold face, which immediately made him tremble with nervousness.
"No...no, no!"
Zhou Lixin quickly shook his head, smiled and said to please: "Xue'er, for a beautiful and noble woman like you, this necklace is simply tailor-made for you!"
Lin Xueer gave him a cold look and said nothing.
"Hey! Can't you see that this lady is Mr. Xiao's girlfriend? She actually has the nerve to come up and strike up a conversation. What do you think..."
At this time, a guest next to him pushed Zhou Lixin away suddenly, squeezed forward, got in front of Xiao Yun and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao, this kind of person is just a toad who wants to eat swan meat, you don't need to pay attention to him!"
The toad wants to eat swan meat?!
Zhou Lixin was angry and confused. He suddenly raised his head and stared at the man, his eyes were scarlet.
With his image of being tall, rich and handsome, in the local rich circle, wouldn't he be chased and praised by a group of famous ladies everywhere he goes?
It's a good thing tonight, I was directly told that the toad wants to eat swan meat!
Will this make him less angry!?
However.
Taking a closer look, he found that the other person's face did not belong to the local wealthy circle, and the accent seemed to be from the Magic City.
For a moment, Zhou Lixin was not sure about the strength and background of the other party's family. Even though he was angry, he did not dare to retaliate rashly, so he could only retreat from the crowd with clenched fists and gritted teeth.
…
"Damn, this little bastard!"
In the courtyard, Zhou Lixin punched the tree trunk in anger.
Wu Yong followed him, curling his lips in disdain.
Damn it, I thought that by hugging Zhou Lixin's thigh, I could take the opportunity to give that brat Xiao Yun a good beating!
Who would have known that before Xiao Yun's tragic appearance could be seen, Zhou Lixin broke his defense first and actually ran into the courtyard of the manor to hide and sulk alone.
What a coward!
However, even though he was thinking this, considering Zhou Lixin's identity, Wu Yong still stepped forward and pretended to comfort him.
"Young Master Zhou, why are you doing this? That guy is just a nouveau riche and a country bumpkin. Why are you being serious with him?"
"Think about it, a normal man would spend 350 million to buy a broken necklace to coax a woman? With so much money, he can sleep with one a day without wearing another one!"
Seeing Zhou Lixin with his back turned to him, holding on to the tree trunk and breathing heavily without saying a word, Wu Yong could only shrug his shoulders, step aside and smoke a cigarette.
After a while, Zhou Lixin almost calmed down.
He turned to look at Wu Yong who was following him, rolled his eyes, and sighed heavily, pretending to be helpless:
"Alas! Uncle Wu, we can be regarded as brothers and sisters. We have suffered at the hands of this boy, and we can only endure it! What do you think this is?"
"Looking at the entire Jiangzhou Province, I'm afraid no one can really control him! Let's just admit defeat!"
When Zhou Lixin said the last sentence, he rolled his eyes in his heart.
Admit defeat?
He will never admit defeat in this life!
Xiao Yun, a brat like Xiao Yun, has ruined so many of his good deeds. How could he just let it go!?
As expected.
Wu Yong's anger immediately ignited when he heard Zhou Lixin's sarcastic words.
"Haha, admit defeat? Mr. Zhou, this little bastard sent my son to jail, pulled my brother down, and finally fanned the flames in front of my dad and forced me to resign!"
"Do you think these things can be overcome by just admitting your fault? Humph!"
Wu Yong was talking to himself, getting more and more angry. He smashed the cigarette in his hand on the ground and said angrily: "Damn it, I don't care if he is from the Huo family in the capital or not tonight, I have to have him."
Your reputation will be ruined!"
Hearing this, Zhou Lixin was so happy that he almost laughed out loud.
This stupid son of the Wu family is too easy to be used as a weapon, right?
But that's fine, if you kill someone with a borrowed knife and trample that little bastard Xiao Yun to death, you don't have to get your hands dirty!
"Ahem." Zhou Lixin coughed twice, suppressed the smile on his lips, and said angrily: "Okay! Uncle Wu, I just like to deal with bloody people like you! Tell me, what do you want?
