Chapter 439: Chapter 273: The Wise Do Not Fall in Love

Bai Fengshou suddenly looked helpless and resigned.

...

They left the private room and went to their separate cars.

Bai Fengshou’s expression was grim. He watched Lin Chu get into his daughter’s car and was tempted to go over and say a few more words, but he forced himself to hold back.

Going over would just lead to another argument, and it wouldn’t accomplish anything.

Duan Wuzhuang chuckled, draping an arm around his shoulder. "Alright, it’s fine. The kid knows his limits, don’t worry."

"Knows his limits, my ass!"

"He threw a party by Erhai and got himself thrown in a police station!"

As he was pulled into the car, Bai Fengshou was still grumbling indignantly.

’I just don’t get it. How can a young man with a personality like that, so reckless, build such a huge business?’

’He has no class, either.’

’He’s just finished drinking with a few guys, ready for the after-party, and hey, he gets whisked away by a woman?’

’I’ll have to add another point—ditching his friends for a girl.’

’Even if that girl is my own daughter.’

Duan Wuzhuang told the driver to go, then laughed. "If we had that much money, I guarantee we’d party way harder than him. Calm down, calm down. He’s from the big city, not so chauvinistic. See how he listens to Weiwei? She’s got him wrapped around her finger, hahahaha..."

Bai Fengshou shot him a glare, lit a cigarette, took a sullen drag, and fell silent.

...

Meanwhile.

Bai Weiwei was driving fast, speeding out of the restaurant’s parking lot. Only then did she speak, her tone full of exasperation. "Are you stupid? Couldn’t you tell? My dad and his friend want to get some money out of you!"

Lin Chu started to lower the window. He’d barely opened it a crack when he heard her voice again. "No smoking in my car!"

Tsk.

"Aren’t you being a little hypocritical?"

"A bunch of people were smoking in the private room just now, weren’t they?"

"When did your dad quit smoking for you? I must have missed that."

Lin Chu ignored her, continued to lower the window, and lit up.

Driving, Bai Weiwei was powerless to stop him. She opened her own window and cranked the AC to max.

"He definitely doesn’t smoke at home! This was a gathering! It’s all his good-for-nothing friends, they’re a bad influence!"

"And that Uncle Duan, he’s no good either. He sells Jadeite jewelry and tea, preying on tourists. I bet he wants you to help him move his products. Are you really that naive? How did you even make so much money?"

Lin Chu chuckled.

He teased her deliberately, "Making money is all about swindling and scamming, isn’t it? What else did you think it was?"

"Are you trying to stop them from scamming me? Or are you trying to stop me from going out to party with them?"

"If it’s the former, your good intentions are messing up my business. You’re cutting off my path to riches."

"If it’s the latter, that’s just mean. We’re not even dating, and you’re trying to control my nightlife? It’s not like you’ll keep me company."

Bai Weiwei: "..."

She slammed on the brakes, stopping the car by the side of the road.

"Get out!"

"Get out right now!"

Seeing that she was genuinely angry, Lin Chu just chuckled, naturally not getting out. "Whoa, look at you. Where’s the calm aura of the genius girl? Relax."

"Let’s go. Back to the guesthouse."

"Honestly, it’s no big deal if I let them make a little money. Consider it paying back a favor. For your sake, tossing them a few million is nothing."

"You spend money to gather people, after all."

Bai Weiwei turned to look at him. After a dozen seconds of silence, she started the car again and headed toward the guesthouse.

The cool night wind blew against her face but couldn’t blow away the frustration in her heart.

’So annoying!’

’Annoying!’

’What was that saying about a wise person never falling in love?’

’This isn’t even love yet!’

’I just dipped my toes in the water and I’m already a complete mess.’

...

「Back at their place.」

After taking the little dog out to do its business, Lin Chu and Bai Weiwei walked into the guesthouse and were surprised to see that the small bar was once again packed with people.

The wild party from yesterday had probably generated a lot of organic traffic for today.

The person at the front desk looked at him with a grin. "A few of our old friends from yesterday are here. They’re all looking for you."

"Where did you two go?"

"Weiwei, you didn’t... right?"

Bai Weiwei’s face flushed red. She tried to act nonchalant and said haughtily, "No, nothing happened. I spent the afternoon evaluating him. He’s not good enough for me. Hmph!"

She walked toward the small bar with her hands behind her back, a smile she herself didn’t notice appearing on her lips.

Lin Chu shook his head with a smile and followed her in.

Inside the small bar, a male singer was performing a folk song. He had a world-weary look, with long hair draped over his back, giving off a very artsy vibe.

His voice was pretty good, too—raspy and sexy.

The atmosphere in the whole place felt lively.

Just as Lin Chu walked in, a song ended. The crowd was applauding, and some people were shouting and cheering. A girl in a baseball cap saw Lin Chu, immediately stood up, and waved.

"Whoa! Brother Chu!"

she shouted.

Her shout was like a stone dropped into a calm pond, and suddenly, men and women from several tables looked over.

"Brother Chu, you’re out!"

"Oho! Hahaha, are we going again tonight?"

"We thought you had already left! The front desk said you hadn’t checked out, so we waited, and it actually paid off!"

"Come on, come on, sit with us."

This kind of treatment, like a big shot in the underworld, made Lin Chu smile. He shook hands with each person who came over, then raised his hand and announced with a laugh, "Waiter, same as always! I’m paying for everyone tonight!"

After saying that, he laughed at the people next to him, "But we can skip the partying by the sea. Don’t even think about getting me thrown in jail again."

Hearing this, everyone burst out laughing. ℴ

The entire bar was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Bai Weiwei glanced back at him, her eyes holding a trace of annoyance.

’He’s not even ashamed of it, he actually seems proud!’
