Extreme Joy Begets Sorrow
But, the failure of the Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing shattered House Kang's fantasies. They could only try to form a relationship with House Xiao and slowly rise to the ranks of a low-tier house, but it was impossible to form a good relationship with House Yu or even the hidden house behind House Yu!
Now, Chentian's appearance made Zhaolong think again. If he applied to become a noble house after the auction, with House Wu's help, would it work?
Of course, this was just Zhaolong's thoughts. He wouldn't reveal it to Chentian right now. He needed to discuss it with his grandpa first before making a decision. All he needed to do now was to get closer to Chentian.
"What are you thanking me for? You're my follower, of course, I'll protect you!" Chentian said.
"Hehe, then I'll be counting on you from now on, boss. Don't bother me!" Zhaolong smiled.
"That's for sure!" Chentian felt that Zhaolong was really smart. He was much smarter than the two Xiao family brats!
The two of them parted at the hotel. Zhaolong wanted to go back and discuss the application with his grandpa, while Chentian wanted to see how his grandpa was doing.
Both of them had things to do, so they decided to contact each other on the phone.
Lin Yi and Xiaoxiao left the restaurant. When the Xiao family brothers left, Xiaoxiao couldn't hold it in anymore and started laughing.
"Hahahahaha! I'm dying of laughter! That Wu Chentian is really an idiot! He's still pretending! He's too stupid! Hahahaha! " Xiaoxiao clutched her stomach and squatted on the floor, laughing so hard that she couldn't catch her breath. "I've earned big this time! The vase and candlesticks on the table are worth at least a few million! I'll sell them and buy an Audi R8! Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter!"
Lin Yi looked at Xiaoxiao, who was laughing so hard that she was gasping for breath. He couldn't help but find it funny! Chentian must've suffered a lot during this meal, and he didn't even know it. This Xiaoxiao was quite the scammer!
"Hmph, how dare you go against me, Xiaoxiao? You've already gotten off lightly this time, but next time, I'll make you bankrupt!" Xiaoxiao said to herself.
Lin Yi shook his head. This Xiaoxiao really did hold a grudge. No wonder she kept trying to do something to him, it was just that she didn't get anything out of him. But, Lin Yi started to understand Xiaoxiao a little.
Growing up in a family like hers, she didn't have a mother, and her father was always busy with work. He didn't have time to take care of Xiaoxiao's life, and that was why she was rebellious.
Although Xiaoxiao had a part to do with herself, the main reason was her family environment.
"Are you done laughing? Is your father back yet? "Lin Yi waited for a while, but Xiaoxiao was still laughing. Lin Yi couldn't help but ask.
"Hahaha … Seriously, you're pulling a long face at something this funny!" Xiaoxiao couldn't stop laughing, almost unable to stop herself.
"There's nothing funny. He's not the only idiot in the world. If you laughed at every one of them for a while, you'd die a long time ago." Lin Yi said faintly.
"Ah?" Xiaoxiao paused, shaking her head. She sometimes wondered if Lin Yi was the same age as her. No matter how she looked at him, Lin Yi didn't seem like someone her age. Sometimes, he was terrifyingly calm. She couldn't help but curl her lips. "You're so boring. Why aren't you laughing with me at something this funny?"
"I think your name is right. Why aren't you laughing at something this funny?" Lin Yi shrugged.
"Hm?" Xiaoxiao paused. She remembered that her name was Xiaoxiao … Was Lin Yi praising or mocking her?
"Ha … Alright, I'll laugh. Where's your father?" Lin Yi was concerned about Tianlong. As far as he was concerned, an idiot like Chentian deserved to get screwed over. There was nothing funny about it.
"What's wrong with that!" Xiaoxiao wasn't happy. She hmphed. "My dad's coming back tonight. Let's go, we'll wait for him in our room."
"Go back to your room?" Lin Yi frowned.
"Yeah, where else?" Xiaoxiao just wanted to spend more time with Lin Yi and create a chance for Lin Yi to fall in love with her. She didn't think too much about it, but Lin Yi's question made her a little uncomfortable. A man and a woman alone in a room … Xiaoxiao had never experienced something like this before.
What if … What if Lin Yi's animal instincts kicked in? He seemed pretty strong, and she wasn't his match.
But thinking about it, so what if he kicked in? At most, he'd just do it to her. She didn't have long to live anyway, and she didn't know what it felt like … But wouldn't that be a huge loss for her?
That didn't seem to be the case. Looking at how uninterested Lin Yi was, he probably wouldn't push her down. Xiaoxiao was a little disappointed at the thought. Was her charm really that small?
"Let's go then," Lin Yi nodded, seeing that Xiaoxiao's expression was normal.
In truth, if it weren't for Tianlong looking for him, he wouldn't have gone to Xiaoxiao's room in the middle of the night.
"Hahahaha, let's go …" Xiaoxiao picked up the food boxes in her hands and started laughing again when she thought of Chentian's dumb face.
Lin Yi was a little speechless. This Xiaoxiao seemed to be born to be funny. Even the smallest things couldn't stop laughing.
Xiaoxiao laughed as they walked, and she didn't stop laughing even when they entered the hotel. People who didn't know would think that she picked up money.
In fact, that vase could be sold for a lot of money. Just thinking about it made Xiaoxiao happy. She picked up a few million for no reason! She wasn't someone who didn't know what was good for her. She could roughly estimate the value of that diamond.
"Hahaha …" Xiaoxiao started laughing again when she thought about it. But there was a saying, 'extreme joy turns to sorrow'. And so, Xiaoxiao's joy turned to sorrow. The hotel's marble stairs had just been cleaned, and there were still water stains on it. It was quite slippery, and Xiaoxiao was swaying left and right. She slipped and fell!
"Ahhh!!!" Xiaoxiao cried out as she slid down the stairs. Not only did she land on her butt, but she also got wet all over. It was really uncomfortable.
"Ha …" Lin Yi finally laughed. He didn't know what to say as he looked at Xiaoxiao.
Lin Yi could totally pull Xiaoxiao back, but he didn't. The stairs weren't high, and it would only hurt her butt a little. She'd get a little dirty, but it wouldn't be a big deal. It was good to teach her a lesson. She wouldn't be laughing all the time.
