Attack of the Adorable Kid: President Daddy’s Infinite Pampering Chapter 1628 - Meeting

Chapter 1628: Meeting

In order to get the jade hairpin back, Ling Hui headed to the auction a day earlier.

Before she arrived, she contacted the auction organizer.

The organizer arranged a luxurious hotel for her.

The hotel’s decor was exquisite. After Ling Hui arrived at the lounge, she lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling for a while.

She looked slightly dazed.

She had some feelings for this city.

When something happened to her family, she had come here to work and set up a jewelry company.

She had been forced to sell her company while it was at its peak because of Ling Motian’s coercion.

Ling Hui could not sleep and went to the bathroom to take a bath.

Her wet and long brown hair lay on her shoulders. There were no chemicals on her face, and she looked clean and pure. As her eyes moved, she inadvertently revealed her feminine charm.

Although she had taken good care of her face, she was no longer a young girl in her twenties.

Ling Hui dried her hair, tied it into a ponytail, put on a sweater and headed out.

There was a reception banquet for the auction organizer tonight but Ling Hui wanted to be alone and did not go over.

Ling Hui walked around the streets by the hotel and ate some snacks before returning to the hotel an hour later.

When she arrived at the entrance of the hotel, she heard someone calling her and turned around.

Her beautiful eyes constricted slightly when she saw him.

A Rolls-Royce had stopped in front of the hotel. The waiter went forward and opened the door, and a man and woman got out of the car.

The man was wearing a custom-made sapphire blue suit with a white s.h.i.+rt inside. He was not wearing a tie and his top three b.u.t.tons were unb.u.t.toned, revealing his exquisite collarbones.

His short black hair had clearly been meticulously styled, looking fluffy and stylish. His forehead was covered by his fringe, making his facial features look even more handsome and charming.

After getting out of the car, he waited by the side until the woman got out of the car before he walked toward the hotel.

Before Ling Hui could look away, their eyes met.

There was a lazy smile on his lips. When he saw her, his smile did not change, but his eyes turned colder.

In just two seconds, he looked away from her face.

Ling Hui stood still and could not help but glance at the woman beside him.

The woman had exquisite makeup on her face and her red lips were like fire. Her long wavy hair was draped over her shoulders and she was wearing a short skirt that wrapped around her hips. She was wearing high heels and a trendy coat. She looked exquisite and fas.h.i.+onable.

The woman had the aura of a mature woman in the workplace and was the type of woman that people would remember with just a glance.

Ling Hui’s mind was in a mess.

But she knew that Tang Xi had changed girlfriends again.

There was never a lack of women by his side. Moreover, each one was more charming than the other.

Ling Hui looked away and walked towards the hotel first.

But another voice came from behind. “Junior Ling Hui?”

Ling Hui confirmed that someone was calling her and she turned back again.

A man got out of another luxurious car.

The man was about the same height as Tang Xi and looked to be in his thirties. He was wearing a suit and leather shoes, and looked exquisite, mature, steady, and handsome.

He was the steady type of man that Ling Hui had liked in the past.

Ling Hui looked at the man who looked a little familiar. She thought for a moment and remembered that the man was another well-known figure from school and was also Ling Hui’s senior.

If she remembered correctly, the man was called Han Chen!

The man strode toward Ling Hui.

“Junior, do you still remember me?” Han Chen reached out his hand to Ling Hui, looking calm and gentlemanly. “I’m Han Chen.”

Ling Hui stretched out her fair hand and shook Han Chen’s hand. Her red lips curled into a polite smile. “How would I not remember the famous Senior Han?”

“What a coincidence. I didn’t expect to meet you here.” Han Chen looked at Ling Hui. She was wearing a low-profile outfit today. It consisted simply of a white fitted s.h.i.+rt, black pencil pants, and a long knitted jacket. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail and her face was not made up. She looked like she was in university.

“You haven’t changed much all these years. You’re still the G.o.ddess in the hearts of men like before.”

“Senior, you flatter me.”

Han Chen was about to say something when a lazy male voice trailed over. “Senior Han, long time no see.”

When Han Chen saw Tang Xi, he was slightly embarra.s.sed. He had been focused on chatting with Ling Hui earlier and had not noticed Tang Xi, who was also an alumnus.

Han Chen shook hands with Tang Xi and greeted him. When he saw the woman beside Tang Xi, he asked, “Your girlfriend?”

Tang Xi did not admit or deny it.

Lin Yanyan greeted Han Chen graciously, a smile on her red lips. “The Lin family and the Tang family are old friends. Although the two families want us to be together, I’m still working toward Mrs Tang’s goal.”

Ling Hui glanced at Tang Xi. After hearing Lin Yanyan’s words, he did not say anything, but the smile on his lips deepened.

Ling Hui also roughly understood that Lin Yanyan was probably Tang Xi’s marriage partner.

Tang Xi was not young anymore. It was normal for his family to want him to get married early.

Han Chen invited Ling Hui to have supper with Tang Xi and Lin Yanyan. Ling Hui did not have much of an appet.i.te and found an excuse to reject them before returning to her room.

…

This time, there were many well-known figures from both the domestic and overseas business circles and famous stars present. Every guest that came was dressed to the nines.

Ling Hui walked down the red carpet alone. She did not care about other people’s gazes as she entered the venue and found her seat.

The venue was very large, with almost a hundred round tables.

Because of her aunt’s return, Ling Hui’s status had increased tremendously and she sat in the front seat.

After entering the venue, Ling Hui looked down at her phone until someone sat down beside her and took the initiative to hit on her. “Hi, pretty girl, have we met before? You look a little familiar.”

It was an old-fas.h.i.+oned way of hitting on someone.

Ling Hui glanced at the man and her red lips curled up slightly. “I’m sorry, I have no impression of you.”

Ling Hui was about to look down at her phone again when she saw Tang Xi and Lin Yanyan walking in from the corner of her eye.

When she met the two of them at the hotel last night, Ling Hui had already guessed that they were also coming to attend the auction.

The man beside her saw Ling Hui looking at Lin Yanyan and asked with a smile, “Beauty, do you know Miss Lin? She’s Martin. The one who’s been in the limelight in the jewelry industry recently. I heard that her father bought a jewelry company for her and she spent a lot of money to poach several famous designers over. The jewelry designs of her company are now the most popular in the market.”

Ling Hui frowned.

Her company had also been bought by a Mr Lin.

She also knew Martin, but she had not expected that person to be Tang Xi’s new girlfriend.

Ling Hui pursed her lips and said nothing.

Soon, the auction began.

The jade hairpin was the third item to be auctioned. Ling Hui had come for this and the starting price was one million. Ling Hui immediately called for five million. She thought that no one would s.n.a.t.c.h it from her, but she heard Lin Yanyan, who was sitting at the next table, say to Tang Xi, “This jade hairpin is quite unique.”

Tang Xi raised his eyebrows and smiled devilishly. “You like it? If you like it, I can buy it for you.”
