This Shen Zhui is a friend of Lin Wan and also a second-generation rich.

However, Shen Zhui's family is wealthier than Lin Wan's, and Shen Zhui had wanted to pursue Ye Jingyi for a long time, constantly asking Lin Wan to introduce them. Initially, Lin Wan did not agree to help, but this time, she really wanted to help Ye Jingyi, so she thought of introducing Shen Zhui to Ye Jingyi.

Of course, knowing each other is one thing, whether they'll be together is up to Shen Zhui's capabilities. Lin Wan also understood that Ye Jingyi was not the type to sell herself for money, otherwise, she would not have shouldered the company's financial issues alone without accepting her family's help.

"Shen Zhui, can't you have a little more self-respect? As a man, you should at least have some restraint," a young man beside him looked at Shen Zhui's elated expression and rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction.

Shen Zhui boasted unrestrainedly, "I have no restraint, so what? Jealous? Let me tell you, when I marry Jing Yi, I will definitely invite you all, and you will die of jealousy then! Haha..."

Lin Wan rolled her eyes, Shen Zhui had already considered Jing Yi his girlfriend, his possessiveness was too strong.

But this was good, as long as he treated Jing Yi well, this assertiveness could definitely bring him closer to Jing Yi faster.

Soon, Ye Jingyi called, she had arrived at the bar and afterward asked for the private room location.

"Jing Yi is here, Shen Zhui, it's all on you now!" Lin Wan put away her phone and glanced at Shen Zhui.

Shen Zhui flashed Lin Wan a confident smile, brushed up his clothes, and even smoothed his hair, assuming a cool and handsome pose.

The door of the private room was soon knocked on.

"I'll get it." Shen Zhui rushed over and pulled open the door quickly, and a graceful figure entered his view.

But before Shen Zhui could be happy, his face instantly turned ashen.

Because by Ye Jingyi's side was a young man, what's the meaning of this?

"Jiang Chen, you big liar, how did you get here too!"

At that moment, Lin Wan also saw and jumped up cursing in frustration, then turned to Ye Jingyi with a look of disappointment, "Jing Yi, how did this guy deceive you again? What kind of love potion has he given you?"

Lin Wan's words made Shen Zhui and the others pause, and they all looked at Lin Wan.

Even Shen Zhui's expression became puzzled.

Lin Wan didn't wait for them to ask, she pointed at Jiang Chen angrily and said, "This liar is the son-in-law of the Li family, and now he's here bothering Jing Yi!"

"What? The son-in-law of the Li family? I've heard of him, he's Li Liyun's husband."

"Damn, have you no shame?!"

"It's already shameless enough to be a stay-at-home son-in-law, and now, being one, he still pesters others, that's utterly shameless."

Everyone in the private room started cursing at Jiang Chen, their eyes brimming with contempt.

Shen Zhui looked at Jiang Chen arrogantly, his gaze filled with disdain, "Kid, you dare to step onto our turf, living off a woman's income? Scram! Jing Yi isn't someone you can set your sights on. I know Li Liyun, and we have some dealings with the Li family. Be careful, or I will have the Li family kick you out."

This cold taunting made Jiang Chen's face tense, but he didn't offer any explanation.

"Enough!" Ye Jingyi couldn't bear it anymore, already annoyed, she became even more upset, "Jiang Chen is my friend, I brought him here. If you want him to leave, then I'll leave too."

As she spoke, Ye Jingyi glanced apologetically at Jiang Chen. She felt somewhat guilty inside; he was already pitiful enough, and now had to put up with being humiliated in silence, truly pitiful.

Shen Zhui's expression darkened, his eyes conveying displeasure.

Only Lin Wan understood that Ye Jingyi was once again showing her kindness, and she hurriedly came out to smooth things over, "Let it be, let it be, if Jing Yi wants him to stay, then let him sit here. We aren't lacking just one more seat."

As she spoke, she pulled Ye Jingyi into the private room, no longer bothering with Jiang Chen.

Shen Zhui coldly raised his head to glance at Jiang Chen and, with a snort, turned and went inside.

The others didn't say any more, all surrounding Ye Jingyi as if Jiang Chen didn't exist.

Jiang Chen curled his lip and quietly followed them in, taking a seat to the side.

"Jing Yi, let me introduce you to..."

Lin Wan began introducing people to Ye Jingyi, highlighting Shen Zhui with an obviously very clear intent.

"Miss Ye, since our last encounter at Lin Wan's birthday party, I've been utterly captivated by you. Miss Ye, would you be my girlfriend?"

Not one for beating around the bush, Shen Zhui got right to the point. He found some flowers from who knows where, and by the time Lin Wan finished introducing him, Shen Zhui had knelt on one knee, nearly shoving the flowers in Ye Jingyi's face.

"Sorry, Young Master Shen, I..."

Ye Jingyi frowned and gave Lin Wan a glare, about to reject him outright.

Shen Zhui's eyebrows twitched as he cut her off, thumping his chest with self-assurance, "Miss Ye, if you become my girlfriend, your problems become my problems. Aren't you in need of money lately? Rest assured, leave it all to me, I can solve it all for you!"

"Pfft!"

Before he could finish, a snicker came through.

Everyone was taken aback before frowning and looking at Jiang Chen to the side. He was the one who had just laughed.

Shen Zhui glared at Jiang Chen furiously, "What are you laughing at?"

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, "Nothing much, just heard someone blowing hot air, quite amusing."

Shen Zhui scoffed, "Blowing hot air? You useless piece of trash probably haven't seen the world. Don't think that just because you got yourself mixed up with the Li family you can blend in with our upper echelon. I'm telling you, in our eyes, you're nothing but a dog. Don't spout nonsense when you know nothing."

Jiang Chen's eyes turned cold as he chuckled, "Ha, Young Master Shen is full of hot air? Jing Yi's Liying Cosmetics is short of fifty million, with another fifty million credit line being called in by the bank. Add them up, that's a total of one hundred million. Young Master Shen really spares no effort chasing after a girl, throwing a hundred million for this pursuit. I suppose in the entire Flame Dragon Kingdom, only that 'set a small goal' Young Master Wang could stand shoulder to shoulder with Shen."

"..."

Holy shit, one hundred million?

Shen Zhui was dumbfounded and involuntarily turned to look at Lin Wan.

How could the financial gap be this big? You didn't tell me it was this much! I was only sure about having a few million, but spending a hundred million to chase a girl? My parents would kill me.

They really think I am that 'set a small goal' Young Master Wang!

Lin Wan's face changed as she realized Shen Zhui had been frightened by the one hundred million.

She thought Shen Zhui would not care about the money for Ye Jingyi's sake, especially since Shen had seemed so enamored with Ye Jingyi. However, Shen Zhui's current response was a huge letdown and made her even more certain: men, not a good one among them.

Shen Zhui, affected by Lin Wan's gaze, had a shiver down his spine, and snapped back to his senses, he couldn't show weakness now.

Then, forcing his pride, he turned and sneered at Jiang Chen, "What would trash like you understand? Some things can't be solved with just money. I, Shen Zhui, know plenty of people in the high society of Jinhai, I know everyone who is someone. Having them say a word to help, that's as easy as it gets. Not to mention one hundred million, even ten billion would just be a matter of opening my mouth."

Boasting doesn't cost a tax. At that moment, Shen Zhui was full of bluster with no intention of making good on his words.
