Bai Chen was eating with Li Lin. He did not feel the malicious gazes full of vengeance from Ao Suan and Ao Song even a little.
It was not strange that he did not notice those gazes as he did not look around the hall. His eyes were fixed only on Li Lin, the girl who was as cute as a doll. She was now chewing on a piece of fried beef.
“What are you looking at?” Simply feeling that she was being stared at, Li Lin looked up and blushed right away.
She had never been stared at when eating in such close proximity. Not to mention she was being stared at by Bai Chen, the person she fancied.
“Nothing...” Bai Chen answered with a smile.
But he had not yet finished his sentence when he saw Li Lin’s parents walking towards their table.
He saw all the people at the tables in their path get up to cordially greet them.
‘So, this is the richest family of Xing Zhou.’
Bai Chen could not help but think that.
When he thought that, he turned to see Lin Lin, who had a blushing face, looking at him with slight annoyance.
‘I will have to get richer!’
This thought appeared in Bai Chen’s mind quickly. If he wanted to become Li Lin’s boyfriend and marry her, he needed to become wealthier and more well-known.
If he could not do that, there was no way Li Cong Tian and Li Yu would allow their only daughter to marry him.
‘I can do this!’ Bai Chen believed that with the power of the Life Changing System in his hands, he would be able to accomplish that goal for sure.
This could be considered another goal aside from killing Wang Chengye and completely destroying the Wang family, one of the five largest families in Beijing.
“Little Lin.”
At that time, Li Cong Tian and Li Yu arrived at the table where Bai Chen and Li Lin were sitting.
When she heard her father’s voice, Li Lin turned away from Bai Chen to look at her father. “What is it, dad?”
“We have something we need to talk to you about,” Li Cong Tiang opened his mouth to say. He then turned to smile at Bai Chen. He seemed politer and friendlier than before. “Bai Chen, I would like to borrow my daughter for a minute.”
Bai Chen fell silent for a second. He did not understand why they needed to take her away like this.
But he nodded then replied shortly after, “Of course. Feel free.”
In reality, Li Lin also shared his thoughts. She did not understand, so she wanted to ask about it.
But she saw her mother’s eyes which were telling her that she should just follow them.
Li Lin turned to Bai Chen then said, “I’ll be right back.”
“Okay,” Bai Chen responded. He watched as Li Lin got up and walked away alongside her parents.
Before they left, Li Yu smiled at him warmly. Her smile was almost identical to that of Li Cong Tian.
Bai Chen was wondering what was going on with Li Lin’s parents. They had changed their behavior into all smiles with him. It was quite different from how they had been before.
Bai Chen furrowed his brows. But the more he thought about it, the more confusing it got. In the end, he stopped caring.
The young man had no idea that now many pairs of eyes were fixed upon him. All of them belonged to people at the party.
They had just seen Li Cong Tian and Li Yu walking towards Bai Chen. And they then suddenly realized the cute little girl in the yellow dress was Li Lin, Lis’ only daughter.
She hardly ever appeared at any social gatherings, so it was quite possible for these people to not remember her.
Even though she had been seen welcoming guests earlier with Li Cong Tian and Li Yu, the guests did not see her when she walked back inside with Bai Chen because they were busy greeting other guests. Some of them, however, saw Li Lin and Bai Chen, but they thought they were just friends.
But now, with Li Cong Tian and Li Yu walking over to him themselves, the other guests could not help but wonder who Bai Chen was and what his relationship with the Li family was like.
That caused a lot of eyes to look at him curiously.
In any case, no one dared to ask him even though they were curious about Bai Chen and the Li family’s relationship. They could only watch with interested and curious eyes.
At the same time, in the control room next door, Li Cong Tian and Li Yu stood in front of Li Lin. Their faces were serious.
When she looked at them, Li Lin frowned. She then asked, “What have you called me here for, mom and dad?”
“Little Lin, you must have already seen Zi Cheng apologizing to Bai Chen. But he would not forgive him. Zi Cheng asked me to ask you to help him,” Li Cong Tian said. He only spoke of this issue.
The other information Tang Zi Cheng had told him, he did not say it, because he thought Li Lin likely already knew.
It was not odd that he thought so was because Li Lin seemed rather close to Bai Chen. Their relationship was out of the ordinary in his eyes.
“You want me to go speak on their behalf?” Li Lin pointed at herself, her face confused. “Why me?”
“Are you not close to him? Is he not your boyfriend?” Li Yu, who was standing beside Li Cong Tian, said.
“W... what boyfriend?!?” Li Lin blushed instantly. Her voice sounded anxious.
When they saw their daughter act like that, Li Cong Tian and Li Yu exchanged a glance, smiling. Judging from the way she acted, they must already be boyfriend and girlfriend!
They thought the two were already dating. But because Li Lin was shy and was afraid they would not accept Bai Chen, she denied it.
“Little Lin, I won’t prohibit from dating him. But please talk to him for Uncle Zi Cheng. Think of it as a favour to me,” Li Cong Tian said.
When she heard her father’s words, Li Lin wanted to deny them again. She really was not dating Bai Chen at the moment.
In any case, she realised that they would get together in the future anyhow. The thought of her parents not getting in the way made her drop the will to resist.
Li Lin considered hard for a moment then nodded. “All right, I will speak on behalf of Uncle Zi Cheng!”End of Chapter 140
