Chapter 849 866: Tycoon Ball
"Ten times? Was it that many?" Sophie looked puzzled and then muttered to herself, "But ten times isn't a lot, right?"Lin Mu couldn't help but give Sophie a thumbs up, "Girl, you're amazing! You look like you could go another ten times. It's already twelve o'clock, and we haven't even had lunch yet!"
"Okay, let's have lunch first. After lunch, we'll wander around some more!" Sophie nodded enthusiastically.
"Oh my, girl, you want to shop in the afternoon too?" Lin Mu felt a bit of sorrow.
"Yes, I still have a lot of things I haven't bought yet." Sophie said, a bit unwilling, like a little girl.
"Uh... alright, girl, you win. Let's eat first, let's eat!" Lin Mu was resigned, hoping to rest a bit.
Lin Mu and Sophie found a beautifully decorated snack bar and grabbed a bite. It must be said, the food on Xiang Island is really delicious, just like the city itself, with an unusual flair.
After lunch and a brief rest, Lin Mu was helplessly dragged up by Sophie again for another boring long march!
This afternoon, they retraced several streets they had already visited that morning, shopping till after four. Finally, Lin Mu used the excuse of needing to rest and prepare for the evening party to reluctantly dissuade Sophie from continuing her spree!
However, by the end of the day, Sophie had amassed quite a haul—cosmetics, food, drinks, clothes, shoes, handbags—nothing was missing. Lin Mu, carrying all these things, was puzzled. Logically, Sophie shouldn't lack any of these items, right? Could it be that buying them herself was the only way to feel satisfied? It seemed like having them tucked away at home was already pleasurable!
Lin Mu had to admit, for the first time, he felt he didn't understand women well enough. Of course, after this, his understanding of women would be profoundly enhanced!
Back at the hotel, Lin Mu collapsed onto the sofa, realizing for the first time how incredibly exhausting shopping could be, even more tiring than the old man's early years of training. Damn that beautiful CEO, she completely wore him out!
Turns out the best way for a woman to deal with a man isn't by hitting or scolding him, but by making him accompany her shopping!
Lin Mu lay on the sofa for a while, took a shower, and changed into a suit. Sophie, too, changed into a qipao dress, getting ready for the evening party! This time, Lin Mu no longer found wearing a suit awkward; compared to shopping, this was a relief!
When Lin Mu saw Sophie walk out of the room, he couldn't help but pause, not knowing how to express her alluring beauty. Her classical qipao perfectly complimented Sophie's figure.
It was flawless, and this was no exaggeration. Sophie naturally possessed a classical beauty, and wearing the qipao enhanced this grace perfectly.
"Well, how do I look?" Sophie stretched her sexy waist and asked with a smile.
"Not bad? Hey, it's beyond not bad, it's stunningly beautiful!" Lin Mu praised.
"Hehe, talkative... well, you look good too!" Sophie smiled and said.
"Of course, a perfect couple!"
"Oh, stop it!" Sophie laughed, then said, "It's about time, the car Zhou Runze sent to pick us up is waiting downstairs. Let's go down!"
Lin Mu nodded, and together with Sophie, went downstairs. Sure enough, a stretch Lincoln was parked outside. When Sophie and Lin Mu walked out of the lobby, a man in a suit by the car opened the door, "Miss Su, please."
Sophie nodded, and she and Lin Mu got into the car, which soon drove away from the hotel. The party was at the first-floor hall of the Jewelry Mansion. In just over ten minutes, the stretch Lincoln stopped at the mansion entrance!
By then, various luxury cars were parked outside the mansion. This was Zhou Runze the jewelry tycoon's party, and known figures from all walks of life on Xiang Island naturally wouldn't miss it!
Although Lin Mu didn't know much about Zhou Runze, the jewelry tycoon, given that he's called a tycoon, and Sophie was willing to travel all the way from Wancheng, this guy must be a big shot, a super rich guy!
The car stopped, the driver got out and opened the door, allowing Sophie and Lin Mu to step out. Lin Mu glanced at the mansion, which was lavishly decorated with guests mingling inside, some chatting and drinking in small groups!
"Let's go!" Sophie confidently hooked her arm around Lin Mu's, giving him a face-saving gesture.
Lin Mu nodded. In his suit, he looked particularly handsome as they elegantly made their way towards the mansion with small graceful steps. But at the entrance, Lin Mu saw a familiar figure!
"Haha, look, who's that?" Lin Mu said to Sophie beside him.
"Is that Wang Jianlin?" Sophie frowned, "How did he become security here?"
"Haha, isn't it obvious? Showing off to impress the ladies!" Lin Mu laughed and walked over.
At that moment, Wang Jianlin, dressed in a suit, was busy directing the security personnel beside him. Turning his head, he noticed Lin Mu and Sophie approaching!
Wang Jianlin looked at the pair, frowned, and rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had mistaken them, "Could they really be here for the party? Impossible, right?"
Wang Jianlin muttered, certain he hadn't recognized the wrong people, yet he couldn't believe Lin Mu and Sophie would receive an invitation to a rich folks' party!
After all, those who came here were all notable figures, right? But on Xiang Island, he seemed never to have seen them before? Xiang Island isn't big, so in its circle of bigwigs, Wang Jianlin had seen them all. He was sure there were no such people!
And those entering were obviously older, a sign of deep experience, whereas Lin Mu and Sophie, barely in their twenties, clearly weren't at that level, right? This reinforced Wang Jianlin's belief that Lin Mu and Sophie were definitely not invited!
"Ha, who's this? Is this a place you can come to?"
Lin Mu hadn't spoken yet, but Wang Jianlin, with a mocking expression, said. This was Zhou Family's territory. Although Wang Jianlin was just a minor bodyguard, he could barely be considered part of the Zhou Family, even if at the lowest rank. It was his domain, so naturally, he'd want to mock Lin Mu a bit.
