The Jiang family's standing in Jiangzhou was second only to the Lu family's.
The admission requirements for tonight's auction were extremely strict. Everyone who had secured an invitation was rich, powerful, or famous.
Except Xie Lin.
He had gotten in purely through connections.
Why was he actually feeling a little smug about it?
Soon, the black Maybach came to a smooth stop outside a villa.
Lu Ye's license plate was distinctive. The moment Xie Lin stepped out, he drew everyone's attention.
"Whoa! Am I seeing that plate right? President Lu's?"
"Yeah. Who's that Omega? Riding in President Lu's car? And Executive Assistant Qin opened the door for him personally?"
"Tch, do none of you go online? Haven't you watched that dating show that's been blowing up lately, Heartbeat Time Difference?"
"Heartbeat Time Difference? What's that? Tell me more..."
"The man in charge of the Lu Group, an S-Rank Omega, 93% compatibility-could that be him?"
Xie Lin walked inside with a smile.
Once he rounded a corner where there were fewer people, he let out a long breath, his whole posture sagging.
This haute couture suit was fitted, with a tight waist. Walking felt like torture. It was terribly uncomfortable.
Sure enough, loose shirts and baggy shorts suited a slacker like him better.
Hearing footsteps ahead, Xie Lin reflexively straightened his back and put on that polite smile.
Rounding the corner, he came face-to-face with two people.
"Mr. Xie?"
"Xie Lin?"
Fu Yunxi and Wu Meibing.
Xie Lin's gaze moved back and forth between them.
Fellow sufferers under Lu Ye's suppression-had they teamed up?
Fu Yunxi's brows were tightly knitted, his tone condescending.
"Xie Lin, where did you get an invitation?"
Wu Meibing covered her mouth and chuckled.
"He must have come with President Lu, right?"
"I didn't see Lu Ye."
