Invincible Urban Evil Doctor

Chapter 477: Chapter 505 Shangguan Hong (Second Update)

This person is Shangguan Hong, Shangguan Nishang’s younger brother, the kid who had a conflict with the Lu family at Zhou Yan’s classmate’s wedding gate last time.

As soon as he sees Lin Xi, he shouts ’brother-in-law,’ while also being a chatterbox of a brat.

The shop he’s in is about 20 square meters, lavishly decorated, and the antiques inside seem to shine as if they were extraordinary at first glance.

Actually, this type of shop is exclusively for beginners.

Don’t be fooled by the appearance, there’s really nothing valuable in here, and even if there is, it’s hard to find, plus the prices are outrageously high.

There are currently five people in this shop including Shangguan Hong: a middle-aged male owner and three customers, two men and one woman, who don’t know each other.

Just as he entered, Shangguan Hong shouted, "Owner, show me the most expensive item in your shop."

The owner first scrutinized Shangguan Hong and immediately felt this kid was not an ordinary person.

His outfit alone costs at least over ten thousand, and more importantly, he exudes an aura like ’I’m awesome, I’m not a normal person.’

"Alright, young friend, please wait a moment, I’ll go get the treasure of my shop!" The owner replied with a flattering face, convinced that the kid in front of him was a big catch.

However, before he could go fetch it, Shangguan Hong’s little face turned angry, "Who are you calling young friend, you’re the young friend, your whole family are young friends."

"Haha, my apologies." The owner smiled apologetically, but internally decided not to bother with the big catch.

Shangguan Hong’s face softened a bit and he directly said, "Just call me Young Master Hong, it’s the ’Hong’ in ’magnificent.’

"Alright, Young Master Hong, please wait!" The owner walked aside, hopping to get his shop’s treasure.

Shangguan Hong had nothing to do, looking around and knocking here and there like a little adult, almost making the three people nearby burst into laughter, thinking to themselves, this naughty kid is out and about again.

However, he looks good, or rather, pretty enough that if you’re not careful, you’d mistake him for a girl.

Lin Xi, passing by outside, didn’t even know what to say.

He didn’t want to go in; this little punk was a complete brat and a chatterbox at that.

Whether he gets scammed or not didn’t matter much, since his family likely isn’t short on money; if he gets scammed, it’s just a lesson learned.

He planned to leave immediately to avoid being pestered by this kid.

Unfortunately, this brat had sharp eyes and noticed Lin Xi just as he took a step.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, it’s me!" Shangguan Hong exclaimed excitedly, "Brother-in-law, what a coincidence to see you here!"

With no choice, since he was being called out like that, Lin Xi reluctantly walked into the shop.

Though he called ’brother-in-law’ so freely, one can only imagine the stress it might cause his sister.

"I’m just looking around, are you here on your own?" Lin Xi asked as he entered the shop, unable to help himself.

After all, Shangguan Hong looked only about ten years old, wandering into this mixed-bag of an antique market; didn’t his family worry about him getting into trouble or being kidnapped?

Or maybe this brat snuck out again!

Hmm, he probably snuck out.

"Yeah, I’m here alone, but not anymore since you’re here, right?" Shangguan Hong said confidently, "I was worried about encountering bad people; after all, I want to take a treasure home."

"..." Lin Xi was speechless at first, thinking, "So you know about safety, you little punk!"

"If you buy something worth hundreds of thousands later, you’ll easily become a target for robbers."

"Do you have any ability to resist?"

But Lin Xi didn’t bother saying these things because the kid probably wouldn’t listen; otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone out alone.

So Lin Xi continued with another question, "You want to take a treasure home?"

"Yes, yes, my grandpa’s seventieth birthday is coming up. I wanted to buy him a gift, so I came to the antique market to find something," Shangguan Hong said seriously, "After all, grandpa loves antiques."

"Oh." Lin Xi pondered, "What kind of antiques does your grandpa like?"

"Ah, isn’t any antique fine?" Shangguan Hong looked puzzled.

"Of course not, for example, some people like jade, some prefer ceramics, and others might be into paintings and calligraphy..." Lin Xi explained, although he wasn’t very knowledgeable about these things, everyone’s tastes are different for sure.

"..." Shangguan Hong was completely bewildered; he never considered these details.

Seeing his confusion, Lin Xi couldn’t help but smile and continued to ask, "Do you know anything about antiques, like identifying real from fake or valuing them?"

"..." Shangguan Hong was already embarrassed.
