Sky-blue Wings coffeehouse.
Liu Mingxin casually held a cup of coffee, legs crossed, and occasionally took a few sips. His appearance was full of grace, attracting the attention of the young females in the coffeehouse. Their face and noses were red and constantly peeked at him.
To outsiders, this guy seemed to be here purely to exude his charm. But in fact, he was actually pondering about Hong Dali.
“This Hong Dali, he’s much smarter than I thought.” Liu Mingxin slightly narrowed his eyes, fingers lightly tapping the tabletop in front of him. “Today’s plan was almost perfect, yet it didn’t succeed.
“Arranging my men amongst those excited fans, once that kid got off the car, and the crowd surged towards him, even if he weren’t stampeded to death, he would at least have to stay in the hospital for a few months to recuperate. I would never expect for the kid actually to stay on his car the whole time.” Liu Mingxin frowned and said to himself, “According to logic, since I appeared there, any other normal guy would definitely not be able to hold their calm if someone else tried to snatch away the celebrity they groomed. But Hong Dali didn’t panic at all, could it be that he saw through my plan? Or was it that he really was so confident in Li Nianwei, and really thought that I would not succeed in snatching her away?
“What a headache.” Liu Mingxin lightly rubbed his temple. “Where did his faith come from? In terms of family background, our families are on par with each other. In terms of looks, he’s indeed good looking, but I will not lose out to him either. As for capability, what capability does this prodigal have? It was only dog shit’s luck that he managed to groom Li Nianwei to fame. What capabilities can he possibly have?
“But a person such as him has so much confidence?” Liu Mingxin continued thinking. “Could it be that he and Li Nianwei were already in that kind of relationship? That’s unlikely. If they really were in such a relationship, he wouldn’t have spoken of keeping Li Nianwei as a mistress in public. That means that his words were meant for me. It was just a show.”
Puff… Liu Mingxin lightly said, “Looks like there’s a need for me to know the real him.”
As he thought of this, a young and beautiful girl nervously came up to him. Face red and heart pumping quickly, she asked, “Sir, may I sit here?”
This girl was very pretty. She was quite tall, her legs were long, her breasts were bulging, and her make-up was also very delicate. If she stood in a crowd, she would instantly stand out. The kind that a lot of people would keep turning around to see.
If it were some other man that met such a lady striking a conversation with them, they would most likely be happily shouting and heart pumping madly. But Liu Mingxin only lightly nodded, smiled and said, “You may, but please try to keep quiet, in case you break my flow of thought.”
Hearing Liu Mingxin’s approval, the lady was pleasantly surprised and quickly sat down. After that, she just lowered her head and only occasionally raised it to peek at him, then lowered it again.
Liu Mingxin seemed to have forgotten about the girl, so totally immersed was he in his own thoughts. “Only one who knows his enemies well can win every battle. My previous understanding of Hong Dali was indeed limited. Currently speaking, there is a need for me to know him better. Our family’s business areas are overlapping too much with each other. There will be a battle between the two families sooner or later. Since we’re on different sides, don’t blame me for being vicious.”
He took another sip of coffee, his elegant posture causing the girl opposite him to watch on enthralled. Liu Mingxin was thinking, En, there is an auction tomorrow night, why not invite him too. This kid likes to squander, he will most likely agree to go to an auction house. If he really attends, I can use the opportunity to observe him, especially to understand his characteristics and lifestyle attitude.
Having made up his mind, Liu Mingxin helplessly shook his head. “What a pity. If it isn’t because we’re on different sides, it would be interesting to have this little prodigal as a friend. At least, I heard that he’s quite amicable to those around him.
Since Yu was born, why Liang was born as well 1 . I can only account this to fate’s doing. What a pity.”
Making up his mind, Liu Mingxin put down his coffee, gradually stood up, and softly said to the girl, “I should go now, see you.” Then, he slowly left, leaving nothing behind.
The young girls in the coffeehouse were totally charmed by him.
…
“Ah, I’m tired.” Inside Caiwei Entertainment, after being done with telling the others the key points of the script, he stretched his body lazily, yawned and said, “Time to go home and sleep!” Actually, Hong Dali’s health attribute point was already maxed at 100 points. He didn’t really felt tired but was just acting like he was to not raise suspicions to himself.
“En, then we shan’t keep you behind anymore.” Zhang Cai and the rest of the people present all stood up. Li Nianwei, like an older sister, softly instructed: “Young Master, go to bed early when you reach home. After all, your body condition isn’t very well, don’t stay up too late.”
“Yep, I know that.” Hong Dali giggled and said, “Everyone, settle the theme song for Unexpectedly! first. Tomorrow, we shall go to Tianjing Mountain to shoot the outdoor scenes.”
After giving out his instructions, Hong Dali waved his hand. “OK, there is no need to send me away. Bye.”
Instantly, his nine lackeys led the way with their heads held high and created a path for him to walk. Hong Dali held Tang Muxin’s hand and followed behind.
After boarding the car and leaving, it was only a short while before the car stopped.
“Liu Mingxin?” Seeing a young man resting on a blue super-sports car, Hong Dali muttered. “What is this guy doing here so late at night? Shouldn’t he be looking for Sister Nianwei while I’m not around instead?”
Seeing Hong Dali’s convoy, his hair lightly flying in the night wind, the incredibly handsome Liu Mingxin slowly walked up towards him. His posture was full of grace, not a single flaw could be found. Very quickly, he reached Hong Dali’s car and knocked lightly on his window with a finger. He smiled and said, “Young Master Dali, can we have a word? En, you don’t have to alight, it’s just a few words.”
Rolling down the window, Hong Dali looked at his shockingly handsome face and gloomily said, “Do you know that whenever I see your face, I will think of how I can destroy it to pieces so that you will not be as handsome as me.”
“Hehe, Young Master Dali must be joking.” Liu Mingxin didn’t speak of a single word regarding the previous incident, but only softly said, “Since Lady Nianwei is your mistress now, I will naturally take her away from you. I’m waiting for you here today to ask if you’re interested in attending a small party tomorrow night, 7 PM, at Mingjing Building level 26, after which is followed by a charity auction.”
“An auction!?” At first, Hong Dali was still quite restless. But upon hearing that there would be an auction, his eyes immediately lit-up. “Will it require a lot of money!?”
Liu Mingxin nodded and said, “Somewhat. I heard that the value of the items ranges from a few hundred thousand to a few million, not very expensive.”
“I will go!” Hong Dali nodded decidedly.
An auction, hundreds of thousands or even millions worth of items. Oh my, this is definitely the best place to squander. This value is just nicely within my limit. If the items cost tens of millions, I will not be able to afford them!
There is finally hope for my little stick!
Speaking of which, Hong Dali had never seen an auction before in all these years. When he thought of the image of raising a card and increasing the bid, “One million!” “I add another one million!” “I offer four million!”
That’s what one calls imposing! And satisfying!
Hong Dali thought for a while and suddenly asked, “Speaking of which, why did you think of inviting me?”
Liu Mingxin said, “Young Master Dali, don’t you think that an auction is a very suitable place for a challenge?”
“Heh heh.” Hong Dali nodded. “Understood. In terms of squandering, I have yet to fear anyone.”
“En.” Liu Mingxin nodded, smiled and said, “Then, I shall be awaiting your arrival.”
