Chapter 239 Not As Expected
Chapter 239 Not As Expected
Bai Chen was standing still, speechless. He did not expect that a beautiful foreigner such as her would come to Xing Zhou city to find a casino to gamble at.
“I’m sorry. I don’t know one.”
He eventually shook his head. He only knew places running small card games around Xing Seng business district, not casinos.
“That’s a shame.” Lu Zhi Yun made a sad face. Of course, she was pretending.
Actually, she was not in town to gamble. She’d just wanted to find a safe place because she’d just run away from a meeting with her so-called future husband.
Yes, it was a meeting with a man. Her family wanted her to end up with Wang Chengye, the youngest son of the current head of the Wang family, one of the five big families in Beijing.
Lu Zhi Yun had not wanted to go on the matchmaking date, so she had run away. She did not care about what people in the family would say.
Actually, she had been moving here and there for over a month now. She had been to a great many places in China before coming here.
She was obviously the very same Lu Zhi Yun that Wang Cheng Yong had been talking about when he was talking with Wang Chengye before he was murdered. And the murderer was none other than Bai Chen.
Bai Chen felt a little guilty that he could not help her. However, he brushed it off because he did not personally know her in the first place.
He thought a little about what to do next.
He finally had an idea. “Why don’t you call and ask Xu In? I’m sure she knows.”
“Call and ask Long Xu In?” Lu Zhi Yun blinked several times. She did not expect Bai Chen to suggest this.
‘He’s a very interesting person. Aren’t you afraid I’d tell Long Xu In that you were pursuing me?’
Lu Zhi Yun smiled while she was thinking over this in a playful manner. She kept these thoughts to herself.
“Yes.” Bai Chen nodded.
“Okay. Thank you very much.” Lu Zhi Yun pretended to thank him to see his reaction. She thought that he would not leave her and would follow her around for sure.
The reason why she was so confident was that she thought she was beautiful!
Lu Zhi Yun was obviously very narcissistic and highly confident in her beauty.
However, what she thought was wrong. Bai Chen nodded in understanding. “Then, I’ll take my leave. I have a business to attend to.”
He waved goodbye and walked away immediately after he finished speaking.
“Wha…?” Lu Zhi Yun’s eyes widened. Her face clearly showed incredulity.
She felt uneasy because she had not expected that. To be more accurate, she had not thought that Bai Chen would not stay with her and that he would choose to walk away like this.
A moment later, Lu Zhi Yun finally gathered her senses and smiled.
‘Interesting! He’s surely an interesting person.’
It was only normal for her to think that Bai Chen was interesting because she had never met any man like him before. All of the men whom she had met in the past had always clung to her, and she found that very annoying. They would not go anywhere even if she tried to shoo them away.
Bai Chen was different. He did not crazily pursue her like everyone else. That was the reason why she thought that he was interesting.
“Wait,” Lu Zhi Yun called after Bai Chen.
Bai Chen suddenly stopped walking and turned back. “What is it?”
Lu Zhi Yun spoke up with no hesitation, “Do you know a good hotel? Can you take me there?”
Bai Chen blinked several times. It was unexpected, but he did not plan to refuse. He might not know a casino, but he did know a good hotel or two.
“I know some. How much do you have as your budget?” he asked.
It was obvious that he did not refuse to help because, at the very least, she was Long Xu In’s friend. If he did not help her, it would be inappropriate, even though he had to quickly complete more missions from the Life Changing System.
“The price isn’t a problem.” Lu Zhi Yun waved like she did not care. For her, the amount of money did not matter. She had won so much from gambling, the amount was enough for her use throughout her whole life!
She did not depend on her family at all since she had been out here living alone. She had hopped between casinos to accumulate money, and now she had so much, she did not even know if she could use it up.
“I see.” Bai Chen laughed a little.
He was laughing at himself. He forgot that everything she was wearing was expensive. Why would she be worried about how much the hotel cost?
“Then, let’s go,” Bai Chen said and walked towards her suitcase. “Is this yours?”
“Yes.” Lu Zhi Yun nodded and smiled. Of course, Bai Chen would want to help her with her transport her suitcase.
Bai Chen did not say anything more and led the way with the suitcase in hand.
“Follow me.”
“Thank you very much,” Lu Zhi Yun thanked him. She was enjoying this a lot.
She’d started to get the feeling that she wanted to tease Long Xu In a little. She would tell her that Bai Chen had flirted with her and wait to see the reaction from Long Xu In, who was his girlfriend.
She put her sunglasses back on before following Bai Chen cheerfully.
..........................................
Half an hour later, a taxi was driven along the main road. Bai Chen sat in the passenger seat. The taxi driver was a middle-aged man. At the back sat a beautiful blonde-haired foreign woman, Lu Zhi Yun.
In the past half an hour, Bai Chen had called a taxi to take Lu Zhi Yun to a hotel, and that hotel was the Grand Xing Feng hotel.
The Grand Xing Feng hotel was the best hotel in Xing Zhou city.
“You sure got yourself a very beautiful girlfriend. And she’s a foreigner too, heh.” The taxi driver suddenly spoke up.
Bai Chen went quiet for a moment before laughing softly. “You have it wrong. How can I be her boyfriend? Look at my clothes.”
“She’s not?” The taxi driver was surprised. He truthfully thought that Bai Chen was Lu Zhi Yun’s boyfriend.
However, when he saw how Bai Chen dressed, he nodded. It seemed that he had been wrong because Bai Chen was wearing cheap-looking clothes, but the beautiful foreign lady was wearing a very expensive outfit.
“I’m just here to lead her to the hotel,” Bai Chen said.
“I see.” The taxi driver nodded. He did not say anything more.
Lu Zhi Yun blinked. She did not expect Bai Chen to say what he just had. She thought that he would take the chance to boast that he was her boyfriend.
‘He’s something of a gentleman, I see,’ Lu Zhi Yun thought.
Normally, a man who thought that she did not understand Chinese would have gone ahead and said that he was her boyfriend.
