Tomb Raider【Filling My Heart with Unresolved Feelings】
Chapter 323 Bet
Fatty Wang leaned over to the ears of several people and whispered, "Hey, it looks like you owe a debt of love."
Hei Xiazi immediately nodded in agreement: "I think what Fatty said makes sense."
Bai Mumu shook his head and sighed: "Oh my, the debt of love left by grandfather has to be repaid by his grandson now. It seems that the Wu family has a skill of cheating people that has been passed down from generation to generation."
When Fatty Wang and Hei Xia Zi heard this, they almost laughed to death. They held their stomachs and looked at Wu Xie with sympathy.
Wu Xie looked bewildered, not knowing how to respond to Huo Xiangu's request.
Xie Yuchen frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Mrs. Huo, Wu Xie's grandmother is old, so it may not be convenient for her to come. Do you think there is any other solution?"
Huo Xiangu snorted coldly: "Xie family boy, this is not up to you. Either let his grandmother come and ask me, or don't even think about getting any clues from me about this matter."
Wu Xie was anxious, but he didn't know what to do. Everyone fell silent, and the atmosphere became tense. The little brother still had no expression on his face, but there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
Hei Xia Zi said with a smile: "Mrs. Huo, your request is a bit difficult to fulfill. How about we discuss it further?"
Huo Xiangu remained unmoved and sat there, as if waiting for Wu Xie's decision.
At this moment, the bell downstairs rang, which also indicated that the auction officially began. Xie Yuchen didn't want to stay any longer. He wanted to ask Wu Xie to go back to the box first, but Wu Xie refused to do so and insisted on staying here to ask Huo Xiangu to speak. Fatty Wang and Brother also wanted to stay here with him, so Xie Yuchen had no choice but to take Hei Xia Zi and Bai Mumu to his box.
After Xie Yuchen, Hei Xiazi and Bai Mumu arrived at the box, Xie Yuchen sighed slightly, with a hint of worry between his brows.
Hei Xia Zi still looked cynical and said jokingly, "Hua Er Ye, don't be so sad, maybe Wu Xie can persuade Mrs. Huo to give in.
Xie Yuchen shook his head slightly and said, "Mrs. Huo has always been stubborn. I'm afraid it will be hard to get any results if Wu Xie tries to persuade her."
Hei Xia Zi shrugged and said with a smile: "That's not necessarily true. Wu Xie is a very lucky guy sometimes. Maybe a blind cat will meet a dead mouse."
Bai Mumu sighed softly and said, "I don't think he will be so lucky this time. That old lady Huo is obviously determined to show off her power to Wu Xie. No matter how much she tries, it will be useless. Don't let it backfire.
The box fell into silence for a moment, and the three people's minds drifted to Wu Xie and the others.
At this time, in Mrs. Huo's room, Wu Xie was still trying to persuade Mrs. Huo, but Fairy Huo still ignored him and just quietly drank tea and watched the auction that was about to begin below.
Wu Xie had talked until his mouth was dry, but there was no sign that Mrs. Huo was willing to give in.
Fatty Wang was scratching his head anxiously and couldn't help saying, "Mrs. Huo, please don't embarrass Xiao Tianzhen. There has to be room for negotiation, right?"
Mrs. Huo didn't even raise her eyelids and said coldly, "Humph, no room for negotiation."
Wu Xie sighed helplessly, he really had no way to deal with Mrs. Huo. Finally, he simply sat down on the chair next to Mrs. Huo, pretending to be unwilling to leave unless she said something.
When Huo Xiangu saw him sitting on the chair on the left, she shouted angrily, "Get up! Who allowed you to sit here?"
Wu Xie was startled, but when he thought of Huo Xiangu's previous silence, he didn't want to give up easily, so he stiffened his neck and said, "I can't get up. Unless you tell me the secret of Yangshi Lei, I will sit here."
Huo Xiuxiu was also very anxious. Just when she was about to remind Wu Xie that he was not allowed to sit in this position, she was interrupted by Huo Xiangu.
Huo Xiangu glared at him and scolded him, "How dare you play rogue with me, boy?"
Fatty Wang saw this and hurried forward to smooth things over: "Mrs. Huo, calm down. Little Tianzhen is also anxious. You are a magnanimous person. Don't bother with him."
The young man remained silent, but the vigilance in his eyes became more intense.
Wu Xie also knew that his actions were inappropriate, but he really had no other choice. "Mrs. Huo, I know that what I did was wrong, but we really need to know the secret of Yangshi Lei. This is very important to us."
Huo Xiangu narrowed her eyes slightly and sneered, "Do you think I don't know what you are thinking? You want to sit down, right? Sure, as long as you can sit here until half past four, I won't embarrass you anymore."
When Wu Xie heard this, he asked uncertainly, "You're just sitting here and you're telling me about Yangshi Lei?"
Huo Xiangu smiled and said, "That's right, as long as you can sit still."
Wu Xie didn't expect Huo Xiangu to agree so easily, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but he didn't want to miss this opportunity. He took a deep breath, sat firmly on the chair, and made up his mind to hold on until 4:30 no matter what.
Fatty Wang muttered quietly to the side: "What on earth is this old lady Huo planning? Is it really that simple?"
The young man remained silent, but his slightly furrowed brows showed that he also found this matter unusual.
In Xie Yuchen's box, Xie Yuchen couldn't sit still when he saw that silly boy Wu Xie was actually sitting in the position to light the sky lantern.
He said anxiously: "What is that stupid boy doing? Doesn't he know that he can't sit in that seat?"
Bai Mumu also slapped his head, looking hopeless. "This wasteful thing is really going to piss me off to death."
Hei Xia Zi said with some gloating: "It's okay. With the background of the Old Wu family, they can still afford to light a sky lantern. It's just that he may have to pay a heavy price when he goes there next time."
At this time, Wu Xie, who had no idea that he had been tricked, was still sitting there stupidly.
When the waiter came to the box to deliver the bell, he saw Wu Xie sitting in the position for lighting sky lanterns. He was surprised and asked Huo Xiangu softly, "Huo Xiangu, is your friend sitting in the wrong position?"
Huo Xiangu smiled and responded, "Are you enlightened? Ever since Zhang Dafoye sat in this position, no one has dared to sit here for a long time. However, the things we are shooting today are rare in a century, so it is appropriate for a few people to show up without regard for their lives."
After hearing this, the waiter nodded and left. Soon, under the gaze of everyone, the waiter lit the sky lantern and hung it diagonally above Wu Xie.
Everyone in the Crescent Hotel applauded when they saw the sky lantern. Wu Xie was so stupid that he didn't even know what was going on and started clapping as well.
When Bai Mumu, Jie Yuchen and others saw this situation, they realized that it was useless to say more, so they also started to give in.
