Chapter 431: Uninvited Guest!!

"What is this about one hundred yuan?"

Lin Feng held Xiaoxue and sat down at the table with Lu Bailing, asking nonchalantly.

"It's nothing, really, I just made a bet with her," Lu Baihui said, feeling a little embarrassed.

Lu Bailing then said, "Oh, what's there to be embarrassed about? My sister wanted to invite you to her birthday party, but she felt you were too cold and aloof to be invited, so I said I could get you to come."

"My sister didn't believe me, so we made a bet."

So that was it.

A look of realization appeared on Lin Feng's face.

Lin Feng then looked at Lu Baihui and said, "Why were you so insistent on inviting me to your birthday party? I'll say it upfront: I haven't prepared a birthday gift for you."

"How could I dare to ask you for a birthday gift? Mr. Lin, you've misunderstood. I'm just... just quite grateful to you. After all, you helped me a great deal and did our family a kindness," Lu Baihui said earnestly.

A woman with willow-leaf eyebrows asked, "Who exactly is this man?"

"Could he be your boyfriend, Baihui?"

"No, no, no, I think he looks more like Bailing's boyfriend."

"How could that be? Didn't you see the little girl he's holding in his arms? That's nine times out of ten his daughter; he must be married already."

"But that little girl doesn't look like him at all. I don't think she's his daughter."

The women in white lab coats around the table all began to discuss it curiously, and the cheeks of both Lu Baihui and Lu Bailing turned a little red.

Lu Baihui hurriedly said, "Don't guess blindly. This is Mr. Lin Feng. He is from Jiangbei, and he is not my boyfriend or my sister's boyfriend."

"He's not?"

"What is this about then?"

"So disappointing."

Those women had originally wanted to gossip and watch the fun, but now that there was no fun to be seen, they all looked like deflated balloons.

Lin Feng suddenly noticed that Lu Baihui didn't seem very energetic and had dark circles under her eyes, so he asked, "Did you not rest well last night?"

"It's not that I didn't rest well, it's that I didn't sleep at all! I was working on an experiment with them last night. Our luck wasn't very good; we worked all night and didn't succeed, and the data we got was all wrong," Lu Baihui sighed.

"Don't be anxious. Doing experiments is something that sometimes depends on luck," Lin Feng said.

"That's right, it must have been bad luck. Once I get a good night's sleep and recover my energy, I should be able to succeed," Lu Baihui said.

Suddenly, Lu Baihui saw that Xiaoxue, sitting in Lin Feng's arms, had grabbed a chicken leg from the plate without anyone noticing, and she couldn't help but laugh: "Come, come, everyone pick up your chopsticks, don't be polite. And don't worry about whether it's a birthday or not; everyone just treat it as a normal meal. As long as we eat and drink well, that's enough."

"Then let's toast!"

"Cheers!"

Those women all stood up in high spirits to clink glasses. Lin Feng was holding Xiaoxue and it wasn't very convenient, so he simply didn't stand up.

Lu Bailing asked with a smile, "Xiaoxue, do you want to try a sip? This is beer, it's very tasty."

"Beer? I'm not drinking that, it's like horse urine," Xiaoxue shook her head repeatedly, looking disgusted.

Lu Bailing laughed, "You say that as if you've actually drunk horse urine before."

"I haven't drunk horse urine! Sister Bailing, if you keep making jokes like that, I'll... I'll have my daddy spank your bottom!" Xiaoxue said in a milky voice.

Lu Bailing and Lu Baihui both laughed, and those few women also burst into laughter.

But just then, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open, and a young man walked in with long strides, holding an exquisite gift box.

"Baihui, you're having your birthday here, why didn't you invite me?" the man smiled.

But as soon as she saw this uninvited man, the expression on Lu Baihui's face became very unpleasant.

"Ouyang Ming, it's you!" Lu Baihui said angrily.

"Of course it's me," Ouyang Ming said.

"Did I invite you? You're here to cause trouble on purpose, aren't you!" Lu Baihui said furiously.

Lu Bailing said even more directly, "Get out, we don't welcome you!"

"Don't be like that. I specially prepared a gift, Baihui. No matter what, you can't just chase me away."

As Ouyang Ming spoke, he walked over, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

The next moment, Ouyang Ming looked at Lin Feng: "So you're the one who protected Baihui from the people of the Black Wind Hall before? Thank you so much."

The people from the Black Wind Hall were clearly hired by this guy Ouyang Ming, which is why they went to deal with Lu Baihui.

Yet now this guy actually had the nerve to say thank you; his skin was truly thicker than average!

So Lin Feng said faintly, "It's a real pity you aren't acting in movies."

"Is that so? People often say that, saying I look a lot like a certain male star, I think his name is Wu something Fan..." Ouyang Ming said with a smile.

"I meant that your skin is so thick, you definitely wouldn't feel awkward acting in movies," Lin Feng said.

The smile on Ouyang Ming's face froze instantly.

"Mr. Lin is right!"

"I also think Mr. Lin makes a good point!"

Lu Baihui and Lu Bailing said one after the other, casting sarcastic and mocking looks at Ouyang Ming.

Ouyang Ming did not lower himself to their level, but the look he gave Lin Feng became much colder.

However, Lin Feng didn't even glance at the guy.

More than ten minutes passed without anyone noticing. Ouyang Ming picked up the gift box and placed it in front of Lu Baihui, saying, "Baihui, this is a birthday gift I specially prepared for you. Open it and take a look."

"I'm not interested in your gift, you should take it away," Lu Baihui said.

The women nearby, however, began to egg her on.

"Oh, Young Master Ouyang is already here, Baihui, don't be so stubborn."

"Yeah, it's so awkward for you to be like this."

"Come on, I'll help you open it!"

Ouyang Ming's gift box was quickly opened, and a diamond necklace was immediately presented before everyone.

"Wow, what a beautiful diamond necklace!"

"How much must a diamond this big cost!"

"It's so gorgeous!"

Inside the private room, the women's exclamations came one after another.

Ouyang Ming said very smugly: "This diamond necklace was custom-made by someone I specifically entrusted; it cost me three million in total."

"Three million!"

"My god!"

"Baihui, why are you still frowning? It's a three-million diamond necklace; don't you want it? If you don't want it, then give it to me!"

"I want it too!"

Lu Baihui glared at those few women, and only then did they finally restrain themselves quite a bit.

Then Lu Baihui turned her head to look at Ouyang Ming and said: "This gift of yours is truly too expensive; I cannot accept it."

"Expensive?"

Ouyang Ming chuckled and said: "To others, a three-million gift is indeed very expensive, but for family backgrounds like ours, what does three million count for? Baihui, just accept it; this is also a token of my sincerity."
