When Shangguan Ding heard everyone’s curses, he couldn’t help but laugh.

His smile made him seem even more handsome and he mesmerized all the women present.

Shangguan Ding was like a domineering CEO from a romance novel.

Jian Xing’er regretted bringing Shangguan over. She should have just let him wait in the villa.

Shangguan Ding was indeed too handsome.

However, Jian Xing’er wasn’t interested in him at all.

The security guard at the door stopped the two of them and said, “Please show your invitation!”

The surrounding security guards also looked at Jian Xing’er.

The people who came this time were all famous figures in the Demon Province. They were either the CEOs of listed companies or prominent figures.

Jian Xing’er was dressed in ordinary clothes and didn’t have a car yet, so of course she was suspected.

Realizing what the security guard meant, Shangguan Ding said angrily, “How dare a mere security guard be so snobbish!”

When the security guard saw Shangguan Ding, he said respectfully with a smile, “Sir, we have no choice. This is the rule.”

Shangguan Ding was dressed appropriately and had a domineering aura. It was obvious that he wasn’t an ordinary person.

Shangguan Ding and Jian Xing’er were completely different.

Jian Xing’er took out the invitation and said calmly, “Here.”

The security guard snatched it away and said coldly, “If it’s fake, don’t blame us for punishing you. We’ll throw you out on the street.”

With that, the security guard opened the invitation.

He was instantly stunned.

The security guard examined it carefully in disbelief.

The other security guards were puzzled when they saw his expression, so they leaned over to take a look.

When the security guards saw the invitation, they were dumbfounded.

After a long time, they finally came back to their senses. All the security guards immediately looked much more respectful and even looked at Jian Xing’er cautiously.

The security guard immediately said, “Miss, I’m sorry for my rudeness. Please be magnanimous and don’t stoop to my level.”

Then, he returned the invitation to Jian Xing’er respectfully.

Jian Xing’er didn’t say anything and brought Shangguan Ding in.

Everyone looked at Jian Xing’er with confusion. Many of them didn’t have invitations and came here to wait before dawn, in hopes of having a chance to enter.

Jian Xing’er looked like an ordinary person, but she had an invitation in her hand, so the security guards were very respectful, as if she was a big shot.

Some people started to make a fuss and shouted, “It’s obvious that the girl is poor. She has no power or influence, so it’s impossible for her to have an invitation. Her invitation is probably fake.”

A security guard immediately said, “It’s real! Not only is it real, but it’s also not an ordinary invitation. It’s signed by Young Master Zhang and the Li family’s head. There are only ten such invitations. The woman just now was a VIP.”

The security guard’s words made everyone fall silent.

Jian Xing’er had already entered the charity banquet and discovered Hou Junlai and Hou Xiaoyu in the crowd.

There was one more person!

Liu Xin’er!

At this moment, Liu Xin’er was sitting beside Hou Junlai and talking to him.

Hou Junlai only nodded and didn’t say anything.

Hou Junlai hated Liu Xin’er very much, but he had no choice but to accompany her awkwardly for the sake of the company.

Hou Junlai decided to attend the auction because of what happened last night.

Last night, Liu Xin’er went straight to the Hou family’s home!

She told Hou Junlai that this auction was organized by the Zhang family, who were from the capital, and prepared by the Li family, who were from Shanghai. She told him that if he could curry favor with the Li family this time, the cooperation and investment between the Li family and the Hou family definitely wouldn’t be a problem.

This was a rare opportunity for Hou Junlai.

Hou Junlai spent a lot of effort to gather nearly 60 million yuan to participate in order to seize this opportunity.

Hou Junlai had basically invested all his money into the project. Being able to take out nearly 60 million yuan was already the max.

Liu Xin’er also noticed Jian Xing’er. Her eyes were filled with killing intent as she mocked, “Why did a beggar like Jian Xing’er come in too?!”

Liu Xin’er wished she could kill Jian Xing’er now.

She knew very well that she could only become the Hou family’s daughter-in-law after Jian Xing’er died.

Hearing that Jian Xing’er had also come in, Hou Junlai couldn’t help but look at her.

However, when he saw Shangguan Ding beside Jian Xing’er, a bitter look appeared in Hou Junlai’s eyes and he looked a little hesitant.

When Liu Xin’er saw Shangguan Ding, she almost drooled.

Because Hou Junlai was still beside her, Liu Xin’er reluctantly retracted her gaze.

Although her lustful gaze was very discreet, it was still discovered by Hou Junlai. This made Hou Junlai despise Liu Xin’er even more.

Hou Xiaoyu said, “Brother, don’t fall for it!”

“Jian Xing’er deliberately brought a handsome man here to make you jealous. If you get jealous, you’ll fall into Jian Xing’er’s trap!”
