Chapter 90: Private Room Zero and Wen Jingxuan's Ex-Girlfriends

The bodyguard’s demeanor immediately softened, even becoming somewhat obsequious.
“Gentlemen, I didn’t recognize who you were. Please, come in.”
At this moment, Lin Xiao suddenly remembered that although he held a Supreme VIP card, he hadn’t reserved a private room in advance. Judging by the lively scene, the rooms must be fully booked by now.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t make a reservation for a private room earlier. If there aren’t any rooms left, we can just go to the main hall. I just didn’t want to stand in line, so I thought we could get in a little early.”
“There’s no need to worry about that, sir. We always keep a few rooms available for our clients. As a distinguished Supreme VIP, there is certainly a place reserved for you. Xiao Wang, escort these gentlemen to Room Zero.”
“Of course! Leave it to me.”
Lin Xiao expressed his thanks to the bodyguards. Whatever else might be said, the level of service here was certainly impressive.
While Lin Xiao remained calm, Hu Yu and the others were visibly excited.
It was the legendary Room Zero. The three of them had attended quite a few auctions at the Treasure Pavilion, but never had they seen anyone occupy Room Zero.
Room Zero was a true symbol of status; money alone couldn’t buy entry there.
They never imagined they’d actually set foot in Room Zero this time. Just this alone would give them plenty to brag about to their friends for a long while.
“Damn! Brother Xiao, you’re incredible! We’re really riding your coattails this time!”
With Xiao Wang leading the way, the group departed, and as soon as they left, the head bodyguard immediately called the manager in charge of this auction.
The moment the manager heard that a legendary Supreme VIP had arrived, he couldn’t stay calm either.
Though he was busy, he decided on the spot to set everything aside and see for himself which notable figure had graced the Treasure Pavilion’s auction with their presence.
…
With Xiao Wang guiding them, everything went smoothly. The group went directly to the second floor of the auction house.
This was where the private rooms were located. Upon arrival, Xiao Wang took his leave; two dedicated attendants would now guide the group to Room Zero.
One had to admit that the Treasure Pavilion’s service was top-notch. The two attendants assigned to receive them were both strikingly beautiful.
They had alluring figures and wore maid outfits.
Were it not for knowing exactly what kind of establishment this was, Lin Xiao might have suspected he’d stepped into somewhere of questionable repute.
Once the attendants realized their charges were the guests of Room Zero, their attitude became exceptionally respectful.

They quickly abandoned any unrealistic hopes in their hearts; guests of such status were far beyond their reach.
Room Zero was the best private room of them all, positioned directly in front of the auction stage. From here, one had the finest view, able to see all the lots clearly, as well as the entire hall.
To reach Room Zero naturally meant passing by some of the other private rooms.
There was still some time before the auction began, and many of those who had arrived early were lingering in the corridor rather than entering their rooms right away.
Everyone who could enter this area was someone of note, and most of them knew each other.
They chatted idly in the corridor—who knew if a single conversation might lead to a new partnership?
As a result, Lin Xiao and his friends had to pass through their midst to get to their room.
Lin Xiao felt nothing out of the ordinary, but he noticed that ever since entering, Wen Jingxuan had been nervously hiding behind Sun Bin.
“Jingxuan, what’s wrong? Is there someone here you’re afraid of?”
Before Wen Jingxuan could answer, Sun Bin couldn’t help but interject.
“Brother Xiao, what else could it be? He must have run into one of his ex-girlfriends.”
Lin Xiao understood at once. The world really was small—fancy running into this guy’s ex here.
Their sudden appearance naturally caught the attention of those around them.
Soon, some people recognized Hu Yu and his friends. Those three were notorious in the capital, even known as the Three Terrors of Jingdu.
Sun Bin was famous for his love of fighting; many younger men had been beaten up by him at some point. If not for the Sun family’s considerable influence in the city, and their infamous protectiveness, he would have been taught a lesson hundreds of times over.
Hu Yu was the brains of the Three Terrors, always scheming. Most people would rather cross Sun Bin than provoke Hu Yu, lest they fall victim to some unknown revenge.
As for Wen Jingxuan, he was the oddest of the trio—he only ever picked fights with girls. The strange thing was, the girls in his own circle were all completely smitten with him, leaving their families helpless.
Although Wen Jingxuan was trying to hide, he was still spotted.
A woman with a fiery, voluptuous figure was the first to speak up.
“Wen Jingxuan, you actually dared to break up with me? How could you! I’m always the one doing the dumping—no one’s ever dumped me before! You’d better explain yourself today, or you’re not leaving!”
Before Wen Jingxuan could reply, another young woman with a gentle, delicate face approached.
“Brother Jingxuan, why did you break up with me? Did I do something wrong? If I did, just tell me and I’ll change, okay?”

Lin Xiao hadn’t even had time to be surprised before several more young women appeared.
Without exception, they were all there for Wen Jingxuan.
Lin Xiao was at a loss for words. These women all had distinctly different styles, but they were all undeniably beautiful.
The fact that Wen Jingxuan had been involved with so many of them—he truly was a scoundrel.
If he weren’t so uninterested in women himself, he’d be tempted to ask Wen Jingxuan if he planned to write a book about his exploits.
Wen Jingxuan himself was completely flustered, never expecting that simply accompanying Lin Xiao to an auction would result in being surrounded by so many ex-girlfriends.
He definitely hadn’t checked the almanac before leaving the house today.
With all these women appearing, the corridor was thoroughly blocked, leaving Lin Xiao with a headache.
Fortunately, Hu Yu seemed well-versed in handling such situations.
“Ladies, if you have any grievances, take them up with the man himself. Please don’t block our path.”
Sun Bin, for his part, made a point of distancing himself from Wen Jingxuan.
Lin Xiao also decided that it was best not to be associated with Wen Jingxuan at this moment.
Wen Jingxuan: ∑(°口°?)
“Come on, you guys are supposed to be my brothers! You can’t just abandon me like this!”
Wen Jingxuan’s ex-girlfriend squad had no interest in Lin Xiao and the others; they immediately stepped aside, allowing the attendants to lead Lin Xiao’s group through.
As for Wen Jingxuan himself, unless he clarified a few things, there was no way they’d let him leave.
Lin Xiao gave Wen Jingxuan a look that said, “Good luck—you’re on your own,” and headed toward the private room.
He also noticed that the family elders present made no move to stop their daughters from confronting Wen Jingxuan. Many of them, in fact, were watching Lin Xiao closely.
Perhaps they were trying to guess his identity, since he was the only stranger among them.
