Chapter 52:
Lin Chuan hung up the phone, tossed it onto the coffee table, and started humming a tune.
Ning Wenrou, who had been holding back for a while, finally couldn’t resist and spoke up. “Master, are you going gambling?”
“Yeah, is there a problem?” Lin Chuan turned to look at her.
“Gambling is wrong. I have a friend whose family used to be quite wealthy, but later, because they got involved in gambling…”
“Stop, stop, stop. Don’t make up imaginary friends. I know what you’re going to say. Don’t worry, if I’m daring enough to go, I’m confident I’ll win.” Lin Chuan cut off her lecture.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Ning Wenrou suddenly remembered he hadn’t given her a rating yet, so she hurriedly spoke up. “Master, how many stars do you give my massage service just now?”
Lin Chuan glanced at her strangely. “Is my rating that important to you?”
Ning Wenrou avoided his gaze guiltily. “I just want to know where I might be lacking so I can improve and provide you with better service in the future.”
Lin Chuan knew she wasn’t being completely honest but didn’t make things difficult for her. “I’ll give you five stars. Next time, if you dare to talk back to me again, I’ll leave a bad review.”
After saying that, he turned and went upstairs.
Ning Wenrou watched his retreating figure, a trace of disappointment flashing in her eyes.
Since yesterday, Lin Chuan had been acting differently than before.
Especially when he displayed his skills in the antique market and made tens of millions, she saw him in a new light.
She had thought that this spoiled young master had finally turned over a new leaf and changed his ways.
But who would have thought that after just one day of improvement, he was already planning to go to a casino?
Sigh… A leopard can’t change its spots. Some things never change.
Just then, she suddenly received a system reward—Basic Combat Mastery.
She no longer had the energy to worry about Lin Chuan. Instead, she hurried back to her room to test out her new combat skills.
…
The next day, Lin Chuan spent the entire day locked in his room, familiarizing himself with his mastery of gambling techniques.
It wasn’t until evening that he casually changed into a set of clothes and stepped out of his room.
Ning Wenrou, who was cleaning the living room, saw him and immediately bowed. “Master.”
Lin Chuan pulled open the coffee table drawer, revealing a pile of car keys.
Too lazy to pick carefully, he grabbed one at random, then waved at Ning Wenrou. “Come on, we’re going out.”
“Where to?” Ning Wenrou asked curiously.
“The casino.” Lin Chuan walked out without looking back.
Ning Wenrou couldn’t help but sigh. She had thought Lin Chuan’s interest in gambling last night was just a passing whim, but he was actually serious about going.
This guy was hopeless.
Even though she was silently complaining in her heart, she still quickly followed him.
Lin Chuan drove a black Range Rover, taking Ning Wenrou with him as they left the Qianlong Bay Villa.
However, he didn’t go straight to the casino. Instead, he made a detour to Zhonghai University—he needed to pick up Chen Yu first.
When he arrived, he saw a girl standing at the entrance of Zhonghai University from a distance.
She was very tall, around 1.7 meters.
She wore a black jacket on top, paired with ripped black jeans and a pair of Martin boots.
Her outfit was very boyish, giving off a cool and stylish vibe.
Especially with her short, tousled hair, she exuded a mysterious boyish beauty.
Her facial features were strikingly delicate, and her profile was absolutely perfect—like a character straight out of a manga.
With people constantly coming and going at the university gate, almost everyone who passed by would take a second look at her.
Some even stole multiple glances, reluctant to look away.
Among them, a small portion were men, but most were women.
Clearly, her boyish charm was even more attractive to women.
This girl was none other than the so-called ‘female demon’ Chen Yu—the very person the original host of Lin Chuan’s body had feared and avoided like the plague.
In the original host’s memories, this woman had bullied him countless times since childhood.
Once, she even set a trap, hanging him upside down from a tree for two hours.
By the time the Lin family’s servants found him, the blood had already rushed to his head, and he had to be rushed to the hospital.
Although he survived the ordeal, Chen Yu was severely punished by her father, Chen Jirong.
Because of that incident, even though the original host had played around with countless women, he never showed the slightest interest in this stunning beauty beside him—he even feared her like a venomous snake.
Chen Yu was chewing gum, looking impatient, checking her watch every now and then.
Lin Chuan knew that if he delayed any longer, she would probably leave.
So, he honked the horn twice.
Chen Yu noticed and immediately walked over.
When she opened the passenger door, she saw another woman already sitting inside.
She first stared at Ning Wenrou’s chest for a few seconds, then looked at Lin Chuan with disdain. “Not bad, Young Master Lin, your taste has improved.”
“Not bad,” Lin Chuan replied modestly.
“Big-boobed girl, move to the back.” Chen Yu pointed at the back seat, signaling Ning Wenrou.
Ning Wenrou didn’t say anything. She obediently got out of the car and moved to the back seat.
Chen Yu then got into the passenger seat. “Let me remind you again, that place is a bottomless pit. You could lose tens of millions in a single night. Are you sure you want to go?”
“Tens of millions? I can afford to lose that much.” Lin Chuan said as he started the car.
“Tch, stop pretending in front of me. Aren’t you competing with that illegitimate son? Your dad only gave you ten million—where did you get tens of millions? I bet you’ve already squandered that ten million by now.” Chen Yu didn’t hold back at all.
“I don’t like the way you’re saying that. What do you mean by ‘squander’? Can’t I make money?” Lin Chuan felt the need to change her perception of him.
“Make money? That’s hilarious, hahaha…”
Chen Yu burst into laughter, nearly doubling over. “Did I just hear Young Master Lin say ‘make money’? Since when did you become such a comedian?”
Lin Chuan was instantly annoyed. “Who’s joking? Why can’t I make money?”
Chen Yu smirked. “Have you ever heard this saying?”
“What saying?”
“It’s not scary for a rich second generation to squander money; what’s scary is when they start feeling ambitious. If you only wasted money, with your family’s wealth, you wouldn’t be able to spend it all in a few lifetimes. But if you start trying to make money, even ten Lin families wouldn’t be enough to cover your losses.”
“Am I really that bad in your eyes?” Lin Chuan was exasperated.
“It’s not just in my eyes—it’s in the eyes of everyone in Zhonghai who knows you. If you don’t believe me, go ask around and see what people think of you.”
Chen Yu never sugarcoated her words.
Lin Chuan looked at her seriously. “I’ll prove through my actions that you’re all wrong about me. I’m not the good-for-nothing you imagine.”
Chen Yu curled her lips. “I believe you. You’re far worse than we imagined.”
Lin Chuan really wanted to kick this sharp-tongued woman out of the car.
But considering he still needed her for now, he decided to hold back.
Forget it… No point arguing with her.
He’d deal with her after he got what he needed from her.
