Chapter 312: Chapter 229: Lin Chu, Do You Want to Be Famous?

Now that he was at the bar, Lin Chu had no desire to order the Divine Dragon Set. When he was short on cash before, ordering it was a decent way to front. But with his current net worth, where a single piece of land could bring in a return of several hundred million, ordering it now felt a little low-class.

He just ordered a random cocktail to wet his whistle.

"What’s your relationship with this An Yunzhi?"

Zhou Luan hadn’t returned yet. Lin Chu casually lit a cigarette, deciding to sound out Xiaokangkang first.

Any goddess—especially a young, beautiful one from a prominent family—would never lack suitors. Claiming the line of them stretched from here to France might be an exaggeration, but a line from Che Kung Temple to Shawei would be no problem at all.

When it came to handling this sort of thing, Lin Chu’s approach was always consistent. ’Garbage.’

’The ones you have to chase—I’m not saying it’s an absolute rule, but at least 99.99% of them—aren’t into you.’

’If they were into you, you’d know just how forward a girl can be when she takes the initiative.’

Kang Hao glanced at him, once again feeling that "love rival" vibe. However, he also figured that Lin Chu couldn’t possibly be serious. How could a scumbag playboy like him ever settle down for one person?

But this very thought, paradoxically, made him a little nervous.

It was like seeing something he treasured being coveted by a thief, a bully, a scoundrel.

"Don’t you go getting any ideas about her. I’ll help you sort out that United Youth Association business, I swear."

Kang Hao was thinking like he was in a negotiation.

Hearing this, Lin Chu couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Tsk.

"But what if she gets ideas about me?"

Kang Hao: ...

He secretly clenched his fists. After staring at Lin Chu for a few seconds, he let out a long sigh. "She won’t. How could she possibly be interested in you? You’re overthinking it."

Although he said that, Kang Hao still felt a little insecure.

However, a thought of something else quickly bolstered his confidence. He leaned close to Lin Chu’s ear and said, "An’an’s dad is the third-youngest minister in the country. She has a cousin in the military and another in state security. If you really dare to try anything with her, well, I’ll hand it to you."

’Holy shit!’

Those words made Lin Chu’s heart skip a beat, and he subconsciously rubbed his nose.

’Damn. If I don’t want to die, I should definitely stay far away from her.’

"You know, I suddenly think Xiaoluan is prettier, actually," Lin Chu said, as if nothing had happened.

Seeing him back down, Kang Hao couldn’t help but let out a cheerful laugh.

"So you’re a sly bastard, huh? A rich kid, and you want to be a damn kept man, too? That’s a bit much, don’t you think?"

Lin Chu continued to tease him.

Kang Hao pursed his lips and said with a determined tone, "I’m serious about her. This isn’t being a bootlicker, it’s pure love."

Lin Chu: ...

’Another shining warrior of pure love.’

"Then why don’t you chase her? You can’t even catch her. Isn’t that still being a bootlicker?"

"You don’t get it. I’m waiting for her to graduate from college, then her master’s, then her doctorate. She said she needs to focus on her studies right now and isn’t dating. If she’s not married and I’m not married before she turns thirty, then we’ll naturally get together."

Kang Hao said, his eyes full of yearning.

’Damn!’

Lin Chu felt a mix of contempt and a pang of envy.

"That’s assuming your family’s fortune hasn’t collapsed by the time you’re thirty. And it’s also assuming her family elders haven’t been brought down."

Kang Hao: ...

He shot him a resentful look.

That stung.

But what he said was, in fact, the truth.

Although their families were currently a good match and both sets of parents had hinted at the possibility, if either side were to suffer a major setback, the balance would be shattered, and the whole thing would instantly fall apart.

Lin Chu looked at him and smiled again.

’Of course, at this level, things just get more damn complicated. More and more complicated.’

The old saying is right: every family has its own Hard-to-Recite Scripture.

It’s so true.

’To hell with it!’

’In this flashy world, being happy is all that matters.’

...

While the two men were busy pushing each other’s buttons... ℯℯ𝑙.

「Meanwhile.」

Zhou Luan had just come out of the restroom and was standing at the sinks, messaging her dad.

"Dad, Lin Chu secretly kissed me today, he said he’s going to transfer some of the club’s shares to me, and now he’s brought me to a bar."

She bit her lip lightly, a wicked, wild smile playing on her lips as she sought help from her off-site think tank.

Going head-to-head with Lin Chu, she really did end up on the losing end every time.

Zhou Luan had learned to be smarter now.

When in doubt, ask Dad.

After all, her dad would definitely, firmly be on her side.

The moment she sent the message, Zhou Ming, who had been in the middle of work, instantly dropped everything and replied in seconds: "What’s the situation now? Which bar? How much have you had to drink?"

"Hee hee, Dad, don’t be so nervous. We haven’t had anything to drink yet. He kissed me secretly during dinner, and we just got here. It’s me, Kang Hao, Lin Chu, and Lin Chu also invited a young starlet we met at the club last time."

"Dad, what do I do now? How do I make him willingly submit to me? Be completely crazy about me?"

Zhou Luan typed, her face blushing a little.

’So what if it’s embarrassing!’

’It doesn’t matter!’

’Anyway, there’s no need to worry about saving face in front of my dad.’

’As long as I can get that man wrapped around my finger, I’ll get all my pride back and then some.’

Zhou Ming: ?

Seeing this message, he felt his blood pressure start to rise. But he quickly calmed down and began to assess the situation.

’It seems my daughter has developed some feelings for Lin Chu.’

’There’s nothing wrong with that.’

’But Lin Chu is clearly still young, his heart isn’t settled, and he’s proud. He probably just wants to flirt without taking any responsibility.’

’That’s pretty normal, too.’

’For a young and wealthy man, that is.’

’Why did you have to get involved with him!’

Zhou Ming sighed. He felt as if his daughter had fallen for some punk. Although Lin Chu wasn’t a punk, a philandering man was even worse! At least when it came to matters of the heart.
