I Really Didn’t Want to Increase My Favorability!

Chapter 34

Just as Xu Lin finished speaking, the young man briskly approached, wearing a smile and intentionally avoiding eye contact with Chu Qingchan. Instead, he extended his hand towards Xu Lin.

Is there something you need? Xu Lin didnt shake his hand, inwardly thinking, Whatever, and began to get into character.

Pretending to be somewhat nervous, he glanced at the young man, then positioned Chu Qingchan slightly behind him, portraying a lack of confidence vividly.

No, no, I sat with your girlfriend on the plane. After getting off, I saw her hailing a taxi. Coincidentally, my friend is picking me up, and we can give her a ride along the way.

Thanks, but well just take a taxi. No need to trouble yourself.

In the car, its just my friend, also a girl. There is no need to worry about safety.

By the way, my name is Jin Linquan, and the newly opened Jin Haohan Mall is owned by my relatives.

We were actually planning to buy some things to take back to our parents. How about going there together?

Xu Lin glanced at Chu Qingchan, who nodded.

We happen to be passing by there. How about we give you a lift?

Xu Lin immediately nodded. On the side, Chu Qingchan tugged at him and whispered, making sure the other person could hear a bit, No, take a taxi.

Buddy, things can get messy with taxis for out-of-towners. Ride in my car. Do you think Im the type to scam you?

He gestured a bit arrogantly, and a black Mercedes-Benz slowly approached. Xu Lin also joined in persuading.

Chaner, I think he means well.

Do you want to ride?

I havent been in a Mercedes before! Lets give it a try. Wow, the paint on this car is really shiny.

Xu Lin, seeing the car approaching, sparkled with excitement, revealing an expression of someone who hasnt seen much of the world.

Chu Qingchan, wearing a mask, almost burst into laughter. I knew this guy was a drama king. Letting him shoot short films was indeed the correct decision.

On the side, Jin Linquan was delighted. Its nice that he likes cars. But your dream car now belongs to me.

Lets go; get in the car.

He beckoned and then opened the rear car door for the two to enter. He took the front passenger seat himself, not wanting to appear too obvious, playing the long game.

This time, if I can add her on WeChat, she can see the content in my moments. Ill lead her slowly. Then how can she not fall into the trap?

Buddy, what do you do?

Sophomore, not working yet.

College student, nice! Look at me. I graduated from high school and started working in the family business. My education cant even be taken out!

Originally, you thought your boyfriend was some wealthy person, but it turns out hes a greenhorn. Better be careful not to mess things up.

At this moment, the woman in heavy makeup and a leather jacket sitting in the drivers seat leaned over, greeted them, and casually threw a flirtatious glance at Xu Lin.

Xu Lin smiled, glanced seemingly cautiously at the neckline of her clothes, then instantly turned his head away.

The woman smiled faintly, intentionally adjusted her collar, and Xu Lin immediately swallowed saliva. But the next second, a hand pinched his arm.

He winced in pain but quickly endured it, giving Chu Qingchan a glare. Acting, acting, you really pinched me.

In the front, Jin Linquan secretly glanced at the two. And seeing their eyes filled with anger, he instantly felt happy. Good teammates are indeed reliable.

Later, Jin Linquan took the initiative to start a conversation, chatting about daily life. However, his ordinary life seemed exceptionally magnificent.

So, dont collaborate with small-minded people. I lost $2 million in one go. Jin Linquan chatted away, and Xu Lin occasionally joined in.

But his tone became less confident, showing more respect towards Jin Linquan.

Chu Qingchan, who had been indifferent, softened her tone a bit, and Jin Linquans enthusiasm increased.

After driving for about ten minutes, they stopped in a parking lot, and a conspicuous square building appeared in their sight.

Thats the mall over there.

Oh, thanks, Brother Jin. We wont delay you; well go on our own.

No problem; I happen to need to buy something too. The woman driving, named Qiao Shanshan, added. Jin Linquan, on the side, also chimed in.

Lets go together.

After getting out of the car, Chu Qingchan and Xu Lin, who had been holding hands tightly, didnt continue holding hands. It seemed like Chu Qingchan was still angry because of what happened earlier.

So, Jin Linquan slowly approached and stood on the left side of Chu Qingchan, while the woman in black stood on his right side.

They walked into the mall like this. Although the mall looked ordinary from the outside, inside it was quite spacious, and the decoration was very beautiful.

Brother Jin, is this really your relatives mall?

Of course. But they are really rich. Its different from my moderate wealth. They dont consider a few hundred million dollars to be money. I struggle even with a few million.

With another round of showing off, Xu Lin nodded frequently, making him feel pleased.

What do you want to buy?

Qiao Shanshan subtly rubbed her arm against Xu Lins, and Xu Lin sneakily glanced at her, pretending to be innocent.

Were buying some nutritional supplements for our elders.

Oh, those are on the third floor. Lets eat something downstairs first; its my treat.

No, no, Brother Jin, how can we let you treat us? It should be me treating you for helping us with the ride. Xu Lin waved his hand quickly, but Jin Linquan became serious.

How can that be? How can I let Brother Xu treat us? Sister, what would you like to eat?

He glanced at Chu Qingchan, and she looked around before pointing to a nearby steakhouse.

Jin Linquan was surprised. Oh my, a chain Western restaurant! Itll cost over $2,000 for four people. But this might reveal my weakness. If I back down now, all my previous efforts will be in vain.

Xu Lin quickly shook his head. Why eat steak? Its too expensive. I can cook for you at home.

Your cooking isnt tasty, and youre reluctant to take me out. Chu Qingchan complained.

But just this sentence made Jin Linquan firm in his belief. Whats 2k? He can earn it back.

He wasnt just here to pick up girls; he collaborated with Qiao Shanshan to find potential targets on trains and planes. Then, using various methods, he made them believe in his rich second-generation identity. Finally, he booked a hotel room, secretly filmed, and sold the videos for profit.

He and Qiao Shanshan had already deceived 4 or 5 people, both men and women. Just the videos alone earned them nearly a hundred thousand, not to mention the money they obtained by threatening the victims with the videos.

Moreover, none of the victims dared to report to the police. So they became more sophisticated, dressing more expensively and renting a luxury car to make their targets believe them more easily.

Today was not a hunting day; they were actually on a plane when they coincidentally encountered this girl. Although he hadnt seen her face yet, he believed her figure would be a big hit!

So, even though she had a boyfriend, he decided to give it a try. If it didnt work, it was just a small loss, and he could try again later. Especially since her foolish boyfriend had already shown signs of wavering.

By showcasing his wealth even more, he believed he could break through the icy facade of this beautiful woman.

In this way, the group of people arrived at the restaurant and sat in a private room.

Ill go to the restroom first, Chu Qingchan said as soon as she sat down.

Go ahead, Xu Lin nodded, sending a message on his phone: What are you planning?

Makeup. Im afraid theyll recognise me. I cant have dinner with a mask on, right?

Ok.

But these two are a bit strange.

Yeah, I thought it was just a pickup at first. Now it seems like theyre scammers. Leave it to me; Ive figured out a way.

Xu Lin maintained his innocent smile, glancing around somewhat nervously. After all, he had to act like someone unfamiliar with high-end restaurants.

Seeing his behaviour, the other two secretly sneered. They thought it might even be possible to film two videos in one go.

Qiao Shanshan gave Jin Linquan a side glance, and both felt they had already won the game. Little did they know that the battle had just begun.
