Chapter 493: Isn’t She Afraid That It Will Backfire
Mu Donglin’s expression darkened.
Lin Kerou stomped in anger.
Alas, she couldn’t spill profanities in the presence of all these people.
Eventually, she could only say, “You’re too evil!”
Li Beinian acted as though she wasn’t aware that Lin Kerou was berating her, smiled, and nodded slightly, saying, “Thanks for the compliment.”
Her attitude drew even more attention.
“She’s bold.”
“Is this for real? Isn’t she afraid that it will backfire?”
“Hahaha, given what has happened, Eldest Young Master Mu is not going to just let it go. Just watch!”
…
Li Beinian ignored all these comments as though she had heard nothing. She picked up the cup of coffee that had been sitting by her side for some time and took a sip.
The auctioneer officially assigned the new ownership of the necklace to Mu Donglin.
Only, the scowl refused to leave his face.
It seemed he displayed none of the joy normally associated with successfully winning a bid.
Having observed Mu Donglin’s reaction, Shi Yishen stared dumbfounded at Li Beinian. Pointing at her, he said, “You’re one hell of…”
Li Beinian’s smile broadened as she feigned innocence. “What?”
Shi Yishen’s sparkling peach blossom eyes twinkled with laughter. He asked, “Was that really just to fool him?”
Li Beinian giggled and stood up. Without answering his question, she said, “I have to go to the restroom.”
“Do you need company?”
In a good mood, she smiled and said, “No, it’s okay.”
Shi Yishen gentlemanly nodded and watched as she walked off to the restroom.
The auction continued. Having stirred some dirt, Li Beinian was feeling quite happy.
But she had had a few glasses of wine and needed to go to the restroom.
She exited the auction venue and asked a service staff member for the way to the toilet.
Upon entering the restroom, she went into the innermost cubicle.
Shortly after, she heard soft footsteps outside.
She wasn’t quite sure if it was her imagination, but she thought that the person who had just entered had walked right up to the door of her cubicle.
Her first reaction was to think that it was probably the cleaning lady.
Hence, she didn’t take too much notice.
When she was done, she reached out to open the door.
The cubicle door should swing open, but now, it wouldn’t budge!
Her heart skipped a beat. She gave it a forceful push and found that, indeed, it would not open.
Her heart sank. She shouted, “Hi, there! Is there anyone out there!”
Silence.
Feeling a little angry, she put down the toilet bowl cover and climbed up to look through the gap above the door.
She realized the door was jammed shut by the handle of a mop, one end of which was wedged tight against the wall.
The mop handle, the door, and the floor now formed a tight unyielding triangle.
“F***!” Li Beinian was almost speechless. “This is freaking childish!”
Little tricks like these were things she did a long time ago!
But the freaking disgusting person!
Furious, Li Beinian shouted at the top of her lungs, “Is anybody out there!”
Silence.
There was only dead silence.
Li Beinian calmed herself and picked up her cell phone intending to call CEO Yang.
He was the one who brought her here, and apart from Mu Donglin and Lin Kerou, he was about the only person she knew here.
Now, she could only ask his help to get a female to come into the restroom to undo this trick. Or she would have to wait for the next person to come in and ask for help then.
However, as she was looking through her contacts, a call came in.
Before she could react, her finger had hit the connect button reflexively.
There were no remarks against the string of numbers displayed on the screen.
However, Li Beinian recognized it.
Very quickly, a cold voice spoke over the line. “Where are you?”
