Chapter 76 The Pheasant and the Phoenix

Six o'clock on weekends.

Lin Xi's cold has improved, so she went out for a stroll in the afternoon during the weekend.

Bai Xu arrived half an hour earlier than the agreed time, and Lin Xi hadn't changed yet.

In the living room, Bai Xu propped his head on one hand, looked sideways at the direction of the master bedroom, and urged again: "Lin Xi, are you alright?"

"immediately."

Hearing the familiar answer, Bai Xu snorted, "You're all here soon."

"You women are such trouble."

"Fortunately, I came here early."

Amidst his complaints, Lin Xi finally pushed open the door of the cloakroom and came out from the master bedroom.

Bai Xu lazily raised his eyelids, then paused.

Compared with the usual serious and elegant business attire, Lin Xi's attire today is more aggressive.

The burgundy tube top dress perfectly outlines her good figure, like a piece of red velvet cake, which makes people want to come forward and taste it.

Today's dress was specially brought by him. When he saw it, he thought it was suitable for her.

Although Lin Xi is not easy to control, she doesn't like to be in the limelight, and she doesn't like to be the center of attention, especially after being ill.

Today's outfit really surprised him.It's like going back to when she was a teenager. At that time, her parents were loving and her brother was still there. She was recognized as a little princess in the elite circle of Beijing.

All good words could be used about her.

Bright and flamboyant, she never deliberately restrains her edge.

Staring at her for a while, Bai Xu pressed the tip of his tongue to his cheek, and there was an unknown emotion in his eyes under the lens.

"What are you looking at? Isn't it the clothes you picked out? What's there to look at?" Lin Xi raised her foot and adjusted the straps of her high heels, and it was her who urged him: "Aren't you leaving?"

"My eyesight is not bad." Bai Xu smiled, stood up, "Let's go."

A word, when it came out of his mouth, was inexplicably more playful.

Lin Xi didn't know what he was laughing at, but only knew that he was in a good mood now.

Usually he is like this, probably he is playing some bad idea.

Lin Xi looked him up and down, and met his gaze.The latter smiled at her, "What are you doing looking at me like that?"

"What do you want to do tonight?" How could Lin Xi be unprepared.

When she knew that Qin Yu would also attend tonight's dinner, she knew that the decision was not that simple.

Did Bai Xu find her because he lacked a female companion?
He attended events before, but he was always alone. When did he need a female companion?

She knew there was a ghost in it, as for why she agreed...

Of course, I also have the mentality of watching a movie.

She wants to see what tricks Bai Xu can play.

"You'll know when the time comes."

Bai Xu smiled mysteriously, "Don't worry, the one who took you to the theater, can I still sell you?"

Lin Xi kicked up the hem of the skirt with her feet and hooked it into her hand, strode out and threw him four words: "You are the best."

-

This charity dinner and auction.

Basically, big shots who can be called by name in the Beijing circle will be present tonight.

From five o'clock in the evening, traffic jams began in the nearby roads, and the entrance was like a luxury car exhibition, one after another stopped.

It was just past seven o'clock when Lin Xi and Bai Xu arrived.

After getting out of the car, Bai Xu threw the car keys to the staff, and knelt down to signal to Lin Xi.

Lin Xi glanced at him and took his arm.

As soon as Bai Xu appeared on the stage, he was Wang Zha. He was recognized as the little overlord of Beijing, who wouldn't know him.

Along the way, Lin Xi could feel the gazes coming from all around, most of the people here didn't know her.Two doubtful voices could be vaguely heard, but the movements were very small.Probably because he was afraid that Bai Xu would hear it.

After all, if he was angry, he would not care about the occasion, let alone a charity dinner.Even if it's his old man's birthday banquet, which makes him unhappy, he can still turn his face without giving face.

After entering the arena, the two went up to the second floor and sat down in front of the fence.

Downstairs are all the bigwigs in the business world pushing glasses and changing glasses. Neither of them likes social conversations, so there is no need to go down to join in the fun.

Taking the champagne from the waiter, Lin Xi took a sip and put it by his hand.

"Look?" Bai Xu handed her the auction brochure.

Today's auction is all from the private collections of some of the bosses downstairs. Lin Xi is not interested in jewellery, but rather a picture of a chess game.

"Why did you choose this one?" Bai Xu glanced at it, not understanding.

He is not interested in these calligraphy and paintings at all.

"Take it back and give it to grandpa." Lin Xi set his sights on the starting price, which was 800 million.

Bai Xu asked: "How much do you estimate? 3000 million?"

"It's about the same." Lin Xi calculated, "The transaction price should be within 3000 million. If it exceeds this amount, you won't want it."

"Okay." Bai Xu wrote it down silently.

The auction will officially start at 07:30, and many bigwigs have already arrived at the scene one after another.

Lin Xi turned the sign in her hand and was ready to bid.

When the auction opened near 07:30, the door of the auction hall was opened by waiters from left to right.Qin Yu entered the arena with two special assistants.

Many people downstairs got up one after another and stepped forward to greet and strike up a conversation.

There was a lot of movement, and it was hard for Lin Xi to ignore it.

Seeing this scene, Bai Xu curled his lips, motioning her to look at the other side, "Hey, over there."

Looking in the direction he pointed, Lin Xi found a familiar figure standing downstairs.

The woman was wearing a long wine red dress, with a delicate face, standing obliquely behind Qin Yu with a smile on her face.

Song Ning.

They didn't come together, but Song Ning's eyes were on Qin Yu all the time, and the smiling Yanran obediently following behind Qin Yu seemed to be no different from the one who came with him.

Lin Xi looked away calmly, and looked at Bai Xu: "You did it on purpose."

Her tone was slightly cold, not a question, but an affirmative tone.

Bai Xu smiled and said nothing, acquiesced.

Thinking that the two of them were wearing the same clothes again, Lin Xi clenched the wine glass tightly, with deep displeasure flashing across his eyes.

She was about to get up, but Bai Xu's eyes were quick, and he pressed her hand, "What are you running for?"

"You are sick." Lin Xi stared at him.

"As the saying goes, it's not scary to bump into your shirt, and it's embarrassing for whoever smokes. What are you afraid of?" There was a deep smile in Bai Xu's eyes under the lens, "She doesn't deserve to be compared with you."

"..."

Lin Xi didn't expect to run away, but she didn't want to continue wearing this dress.

On the way here, she also thought about what Bai Xu would do, but she never expected that he would actually play this trick.

She didn't feel embarrassed, but she didn't want to be mentioned and compared with Song Ning.

"You want to punish me? Or Song Ning, or third brother?"

Bai Xu turned his head and leaned close to her ear, "I can't afford to offend you and third brother. But this Song, it's much easier to move."

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"Don't worry. I just want her to understand a truth." Bai Xu smiled inscrutablely, "A pheasant is a pheasant. If you put two feathers on it, you think you are a phoenix? Oh, it's so simple."

"Today, I will pluck these two hairs from her tail and send them to you."
