Chapter 368: Something Fishy's Afoot (2)
This brief interlude pa.s.sed quickly. Shen Jingbin led Black Kite and the rest of them to meet up with Qi Mu and the members of Jade Sea Pavilion before they continued their tour of the exhibition. By the time they were through, most of the morning had gone by. As there were quite a few people in their group, and all of them were either a beauty or a hunk in their own right, they quickly drew the attention of players attending the event. When they found out that Shen Jingbin's group was from Jade Sea Pavilion, many of them secretly decided that they'd leave their guild and join Jade Sea Pavilion instead! Regardless of whether they'd manage to get in or not, they were going to send in their application first before thinking about anything else!
In the afternoon, several other members from Jade Sea Pavilion who didn't receive an invitation, but happened to be in B City, dropped by. They decided by a unanimous vote to have an official gathering at night.
As the second day of the event fell on a Sunday, although the event was still ongoing, it was about time for those who'd come to B City from other parts of the country to get ready to leave. So, this was their only chance to have a gathering.
As Jade Sea Pavilion's Leader and Vice-leader, along with the fact that they were locals and were loaded, the task of hosting the dinner naturally fell on Zhao Chengning and Next Week Is Unlikely's heads. Seeing as Zhao Chengning was romantically involved at present, Xia Qihui resigned himself to being the one who did the legwork and made the booking. On the other hand, Shen Jingchen couldn't stand seeing how his sister had suddenly turned into a cute and helpless-looking girl. So, based on the principle of 'see no evil', he decided to go along with Xia Qihui.
When a man acts, the extent of his wealth can easily be seen.
Xia Qihui booked a table for dinner at Blooming Flower Pavilion. As there were many of them, he even specifically requested Chen Yi to provide them with a large private room. Unfortunately for him, Zhao Chengning was on the verge of throttling Xia Qihui when he found out about it.
Although there wasn't any secret relations.h.i.+p between Zhao Chengning and Chen Yi, he was still afraid that his wife would be upset!
In spite of his fears, Shen Jingbin took it in her stride and didn't look the least bit unhappy.
It takes two hands to clap, so Chen Yi didn't pose any threat whatsoever. She wasn't worth losing sleep over.
