Chapter 616: Chapter 643: Stone Gambling Festival (1)
"A big deal?" Lin Xi looked at Shangguan Nishang, somewhat puzzled.
In total, he and Shangguan Nishang had met less than three times altogether.
Similarly, the two had never been alone together, let alone had any deep conversations.
If there was any relationship between them or anything that could connect them, it might be his younger brother Shangguan Hong. Or, in the eyes of the Shangguan family, he was Shangguan Nishang’s boyfriend.
After all, that naughty kid Shangguan Hong had insisted that Lin Xi was his brother-in-law at his grandfather’s birthday banquet, and Shangguan Nishang hadn’t refuted it at the time.
So he continued to ask, "What big deal?"
Shangguan Nishang looked at Lin Xi with deep affection, completely ignoring Bai Bing’s murderous gaze from beside Lin Xi, and said, "You must have heard of our Chuzhou City’s stone betting festival!"
"I came this time to invite you to attend!"
Lin Xi was taken aback, "Sorry, I really haven’t heard of it!"
Moreover, he didn’t understand anything about the stone betting business.
Hearing such a response from Lin Xi, Shangguan Nishang was momentarily speechless, not knowing what to say.
She had researched Lin Xi’s identity again during this period, and found that he was not just a simple student; he was actually the leader of the underground forces in South City.
Finding out this information was quite unexpected for her.
Even though her Shangguan family was among the top families in Chuzhou City, one of the oldest families with a history tracing back to the Qing Dynasty, and always engaged in legitimate business, one could say it’s the ’white way’.
But, since ancient times, black and white have been interconnected, and there is no entirely white or entirely black.
Otherwise, with such a huge family, it would be difficult to survive long in this society.
So she not only understood the ’white way’ of Chuzhou City but also knew quite a bit about the ’black way’.
At this point, she thought, being a leader of an underground force, even a force that their Shangguan family could not underestimate, didn’t know about our Chuzhou City’s renowned stone betting festival!
This was really quite funny!
You should know that our Chuzhou City’s stone betting festival is far more famous than Antique Street.
And every day, Antique Street attracts tourists or players from all over the country to hunt for treasure or to exchange.
So naturally, the more famed stone betting festival attracts even more people, even experts from all over the world.
One could say that the stone betting industry is one of the economic pillars of Chuzhou City.
And now Lin Xi says he doesn’t know, which made the previously confident Shangguan Nishang a bit embarrassed.
She stared at Lin Xi for a while, really doubted whether he was lying, but his expression didn’t seem like it, which left her a bit at a loss for words.
"Don’t know, huh. Then you can have your wife, President Bai, explain it!" After a while, Shangguan Nishang glanced at Bai Bing and said to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi looked at Bai Bing, could stone betting really be so famous?
But Bai Bing snorted coldly, not bothering to look at the two of them, and seriously watched a Korean drama with Lin Mengmeng.
"You better tell me!" Lin Xi said to Shangguan Nishang.
Shangguan Nishang couldn’t help but laugh, teasing, "It looks like your status at home is quite low!"
Lin Xi couldn’t be bothered with her. If Lin Mengmeng weren’t here, would you believe I’d spank you until your butt swelled after you said that!!!
Seeing Lin Xi like this, Shangguan Nishang stopped joking, "Our Chuzhou City’s stone betting festival originated from the late Qing period, and even during wartime, the festival was held once a year!"
"At this festival, you can see stones from all over the world!"
"If you have a good eye, maybe with one right choice, you can go from having nothing to becoming a billionaire. Such things happen to several people each year!"
"Do you want to go with me?"
In her view, faced with such a temptation, who would resist it!
