Chapter 507: 202 Jiang Ge’s birthday, playing against the wind to turn the tables (second update)_1
Pu Xiaohan had tightly wrapped the outside of the box, and Xu Nanjing had to exert some effort to cut it open. Inside, there was something that resembled a book, which was also wrapped in a protective film.
One could not see clearly through the protective film.
Xiao Bingwen greeted Xun Feng on the other side, “Did she send you… a book?”
This seemed like something Bai Lian could do.
Xu Nanjing exerted some more effort to cut open the protective film, finally revealing a red background with golden letters that read “Invitation,” and below it, there was an imposing white tiger.
“An invitation?” Xiao Bingwen picked up the red wine that was put aside, stood up to prepare to attend to the group that had come today, and glanced at it casually, “What kind of invitation is this, a white tiger, from the White Tiger Auction House, huh.”
He said it offhandedly.
In mid-sentence, his steps abruptly came to a halt.
Then, with a “snap,” he set down the wine glass, his gaze fixed unblinkingly on the invitation.
There had never been a moment where he felt the sound of his heartbeat so clearly. His throat tightened, and his voice trembled: “This, this is…”
They didn’t have invitations, but they had seen them before.
The White Tiger Auction House was a place where they could buy almost everything they wanted. Occasionally, certain items were too precious, making the invitations hard to get, but in most cases, the Xu and Xiao families were still able to get one through official channels.
So at just one glance, they recognized that this was the invitation they had been seeking this time.
“Did Miss Bai send this to you?” Xiao Bingwen looked at the tattered box beside him and then at the understated and mysterious invitation in Xu Nanjing’s hands, finding it absurdly comical.
Xu Nanjing immediately took out his phone to call Bai Lian.
She picked up after one ring, “Little sister Bai Lian, what did you send over?”
Bai Lian had just finished school, and she was at a milk tea shop ordering a milk tea, while Chi Yundai was passing a plate of cake to her.
“An invitation,” she took the cake that Chi Yundai offered and turned to walk inside, her voice calm and unhurried, “Haven’t you been looking for it? What’s the matter?”
Xu Nanjing: “No, no.”
“Oh,” Bai Lian’s tone was casual, “Is there anything else?”
Her tone suggested, “Don’t disturb my studies.”
The two hung up the phone.
“She,” Xiao Bingwen had listened to the entire conversation, finally came back to his senses, and murmured: “Where did she get that invitation from?”
He and Xu Nanjing had been busy for half a month, and these last few days they were really about to give up, then this invitation had fallen from the sky? ƒгeewёbnovel.com
