Chapter 651: Chapter 651: It’s Time for Him to Change a Target
Lu Yanxi was taken aback, very surprised that Chen Yuan hadn’t paid their bill.
She was barely acquainted with Xie Xingchen, today was only their second encounter, it should’ve been Chen Yuan who settled their account, not Xie Xingchen!
As a regular at this bar, she was well aware of its pricing. Between her, Qiao Yin, and Chen Yuan, they had consumed at least twenty thousand. She felt guilty letting Xie Xingchen cover all of it.
Nevertheless, she didn’t say much. She would just pay Xie Xingchen back another time.
She flashed Xie Xingchen a radiant smile, “Thank you, I owe you a nice meal!”
After finishing her sentence, she was about to get into Chen Yuan’s car when Lu Lingche stopped her.
“Lu Yanxi.”
Lu Yanxi turned back, “What is it, Second Brother?”
“You haven’t told me, who is he?”
Lu Yanxi thought Lu Lingche wasn’t going to get involved in her affairs, so she quickly responded, “He is my friend, his name is Chen Yuan, we have known each other for a long time.”Nôv(el)B\\jnn
“Your boyfriend?”
“No no no.” How could she dare admit that he was her boyfriend? Moreover, Chen Yuan had never asked her to be his girlfriend, so she had to emphatically deny.
“Since he isn’t, then you will go with Xie Xingchen’s car.”
“Huh?”
“What’s wrong? Hurry up, let Xie Xingchen take you home. You’ve had a fair bit to drink, it’s not safe for you to go home alone.”
Lu Yanxi stared blankly at him, hesitantly asked, “Second Brother, are…are you showing concern towards me?”
Lu Lingche’s countenance remained cold: “I am afraid that you are too naive, so naive that even if someone sells you, you’d still count money for them. Our home cannot afford such embarrassment.”
Lu Yanxi hastily defended, “Chen Yuan isn’t like that, he is really good, honestly!”
Lu Lingche cast a glance at Chen Yuan, then withdrew his gaze, “Let Xie Xingchen drive you. I do not wish to repeat myself a third time.”
“But I…”
Suddenly, Qiao Yin poked her head out from the car window, in a dazed state just muttered, “He’s not a good person!”
Her words were disjointed and non-specific, but everyone present knew clearly that the person she referred to as ‘not good’ was definitely not Xie Xingchen.
After all from the moment she saw Xie Xingchen today, her face was filled with gratitude.
Lu Yanxi was helpless, but she had no choice to argue with a drunk person, and certainly did not dare to disobey Lu Lingche’s command.
She could only walk over to Chen Yuan, apologize softly to him. Only after hearing Chen Yuan say it was fine in his gentle and understanding voice, did she heave a sigh of relief and get into Xie Xingchen’s car.
Upon seeing her get into the car, Lu Lingche finally rolled up the car window, shielding out the chill of the late night.
He then instructed his assistant to drive off, and swiftly disappeared into the dense night.
Xie Xingchen also got into his car, driving Lu Yanxi away.
Only Chen Yuan was left standing there.
Looking at Xie Xingchen’s Bentley, worth over four million, and then at his own BMW that cost just over a million, he felt a surge of sadness and indignation.
It took all his effort and scraping to manage the loan for his BMW, while people like Xie Xingchen, standing on a rich familial foundation, could casually buy cars worth millions, and even the watches they wore could buy several BMWs.
His fist enclosed tightly.
Money!
He needed money, more money!
He needed to expand and strengthen his business, so nobody would dare underestimate him again!
Initially, he thought that as a member of the Lu family, Lu Yanxi had abundant resources and connections which could be of great help to his business.
But he was wrong, Lu Yanxi was completely unhelpful!
When he tried to borrow money from her, she couldn’t even manage to lend him any money, she was as poor as a church mouse, hardly like the daughter of a wealthy family.
He used to be clueless, but now he understands, the second branch of the Lu family isn’t the same as the first branch. The first branch was rich, but the second branch didn’t have any money at all.
Perhaps, it was time for him to switch his target. He had already wasted too much time on her.
He should aim for a genuine heiress, not a fake one like Lu Yanxi, who appears to live in luxury but cannot even cough up a million.
