“Thanks, but I do not think they are that dangerous.” Luo Chen lit a cigarette and leaned on the railing.
He had already planned to seek trouble with these people, and now that they had willingly come to him, it was perfect.
It saved him a lot of trouble.
Hearing Luo Chen’s words, Li Jiayi was instantly so angry she wanted to stamp her foot.
“Luo Chen, sigh, never mind, you will learn your lesson after you suffer a setback.” Li Jiayi had wanted to advise him a bit more, but seeing Luo Chen’s attitude, she shook her head.
Li Yingying strongly expressed her wish for Shen Yuelan to stay overnight at their home, but Shen Yuelan still refused.
The Shen family had a house for Shen Yuelan, but it had not been lived in for a long time. It was probably already covered in dust, and would need cleaning before anyone could stay there.
Seeing Shen Yuelan was so insistent, Li Yingying had to give up.
Luo Chen took his mother directly to a hotel.
Li Yingying, meanwhile, took Li Jiayi out to see them off.
On the way, Luo Chen looked at the houses around him.
“Mum, in this part of Yanjing, which area do you like for a house?” Luo Chen asked. He did not plan to let Shen Yuelan stay at the Shen family home, so he might as well buy a property in Yanjing.
How expensive were houses in Yanjing?
There had once been news that a basement of over one hundred square metres cost twenty million.
A basement, not even on the ground floor, a genuine basement!
“Alright, son, when you have money, we will go and buy one.” Shen Yuelan simply took Luo Chen’s words as an expression of filial piety.
“No need, Mum, we can do it now.” Luo Chen smiled.
“Houses in Yanjing are not like those in the county town, where you can get one for several hundred thousand or even one or two million.” Li Jiayi shook her head and spoke from the side.
“I know, but houses here are actually not that expensive.” Luo Chen replied. With his current account balance, he certainly had the right to say that.
But others did not think so.
“Not that expensive?” Li Jiayi rolled her eyes. As expected from someone from a county town.
“With the little money you have, you would struggle to buy even a basement, unless it is beyond the Fifth Ring Road.” Li Jiayi retorted.
Shen Yuelan also gave an awkward smile from the side, signalling to Luo Chen to stop talking.
“Jiayi, how can you speak like that? Apologise to him at once.” Li Yingying said.
“Mum, I meant no harm, I just wanted to remind him to see reality clearly. With the little money he has, he really cannot afford to buy a house here.” Li Jiayi explained.
Everyone knew the situation with property prices here, and sometimes people online even said they were not that high.
But if you actually tried to buy a place here, it would scare you to death.
Li Jiayi was clearly unconvinced, and huffily muttered quietly again, “What can you buy with over ten million?”
Luo Chen did not bother to argue or dispute. If he could not afford a house in Yanjing, then probably no one in the whole country could.
And Li Yingying just gave an awkward smile.
At the hotel, after arranging the rooms, Luo Chen let Shen Yuelan rest first.
After all, Shen Yuelan had just been discharged from hospital and was indeed tired.
In another room, Luo Chen had just sat down after returning to his room, then made a call to Xue Hu, asking him to supervise everyone to work harder recently.
After all, the martial competition was coming up soon.
After doing all this, Luo Chen was just about to meditate.
Suddenly, his phone rang again, but this time it was not a call, it was a WeChat message.
A standard internet celebrity face, with a voluptuous profile picture, added him.
On the other side, a group of people gathered together.
“Juntao, are you sure he will fall for it?” someone asked.
“It should not be a big problem, I specifically observed him, he definitely does not have a girlfriend.” Shen Juntao said proudly.
“She has been accepted.” A girl in the room said, the very person who had added Luo Chen on WeChat.
Moreover, the girl was indeed beautiful. Although she did not have the country-toppling, city-destroying beauty of Lan Beier and the others, she was definitely goddess level.
This girl was called Tao Niannian. Not only was she beautiful, she was also Shen Juntao’s girlfriend. Clearly, to be on the safe side, Shen Juntao planned to let his girlfriend personally take the lead.
“Someone from a county town, presumably he did not grow up wealthy, and his looks are average. In other words, he is just a poor loser. At a time like this, if a goddess suddenly comes to him, he will definitely be tempted.” Shen Juntao analysed with a grin.
“By the way, chat with him like this.” Shen Juntao suddenly said.
“Just ask him if he has just arrived in Yanjing?” Shen Juntao pointed at the phone.
Seeing the confused looks on the others’ faces, Shen Juntao suddenly began to explain.
“He has just arrived here. Even though he has his mother, according to normal human reactions, when arriving in a strange environment, psychologically there will be some unease and anxiety.”
“So, you tell him you have also just arrived, and you are also from out of town. This will easily create an emotional resonance, make him feel you are the same kind of person, and then quickly bring your relationship closer.” Shen Juntao analysed.
“Handsome guy, I have also just arrived in Yanjing not long ago, I am a bit scared.”
“Many of my friends are not here, this huge city feels rather lonely and desolate.” Tao Niannian sent this message, along with a pitiful emoji.
And in the hotel, Luo Chen, with a cigarette in his mouth, looked at the bewildered waiter in front of him and gave him a wink.
“You reply to her.”
“No, big brother, what am I supposed to reply to her?” The waiter was somewhat speechless. You are trying to pick up a girl and you want me to help reply?
“If it were me, I would definitely just reply with the word ‘scram’.” Luo Chen smiled.
“Then I reply?” The waiter looked at Luo Chen helplessly.
“Just reply according to your own thoughts.” Luo Chen looked at the waiter.
With Luo Chen’s mindset, he truly did not know how to make small talk with people.
But he knew this was a trap, so he directly called the waiter over to help.
“Then I am replying?” The waiter said, then began typing.
“Me too, I also feel this huge city, I am so lonely.” The waiter replied.
On Tao Niannian’s side.
“Hahaha, look, oh my, I am lonely too.” Shen Juntao said in a sarcastic tone, staring at the phone screen.
Instantly, it caused the whole room to burst into laughter, people laughing until they could barely stand.
“Our poor little brother really should be given some care.”
“Reply to him, ask if he wants to come out and sit together?”
On Luo Chen’s side.
“Go, why not go?” Luo Chen smiled.
“Big brother, I feel this woman is not right.” The waiter frowned.
But as soon as he finished speaking, a reply came from the other side.
The content was, “Then shall we go to a bar and sit?”
“Big brother, you have definitely encountered a bar scammer.” The waiter said.
These days, it was easy to encounter such bar scammers. If you went today, you would be waiting to bleed money dry.
But Luo Chen was not worried at all, and instead said.
“Ask her to send the address.”
“Big brother, you already know she is a bar scammer, and you still?” The waiter was completely bewildered.
“It is alright. By the way, are there any flower shops still open now?” Luo Chen suddenly asked.
“Yes.” The waiter replied helplessly.
But inwardly he thought, could this person be a fool? He already knew the other party was a bar scammer, yet he still wanted to go, and even wanted to send her flowers?
