Daily synopsis: My superpowers are updated every season.

Chapter 1239 Below Yuan Yi, all are ants! That's how sheepdogs are!
"Thank you for your kind words. Xia Lin and I will definitely stay together forever and never be separated!"

Although Lu Tao was unhappy with how He Chen said those words, he was still willing to accept the result and expressed his opinion while hugging Xia Lin.

Regardless of the future, just looking at the present, he truly wants to be with Charlene forever.

Ah!
As long as someone like Huang Yimei, a celestial beauty, doesn't try to seduce him.

He felt he could do it.

As long as He Chen doesn't follow his path and leave him with nowhere to go, he believes Xia Lin will always stay with him.

"That's right!" Hua Zi clapped his hands and cheered, "We all support you and Xia Lin being together! Cheers to Lu Tao and Xia Lin!"

As he spoke, he raised his beer to toast.

Xiang Nan and the others joined in the commotion, finally dispelling the tense atmosphere from before. At Xiang Nan's signal, Hua Zi pulled Lu Tao and Xia Lin aside, while Xiang Nan chatted with He Chen along with Yang Xiaoyun.

When there are many people at a gathering, it's not necessary for everyone to stay together. They will naturally form small groups, which is normal.

Previously, it happened naturally.

Now, because of the discord between He Chen, Lu Tao, and Xia Lin, this seems to be a deliberate act.

As the middleman, Hua Zi naturally had to be more proactive, but he soon regretted it.

Because he was with Lu Tao and Xia Lin, all he could do was listen to Lu Tao complain about him calling He Chen over, and watch Lu Tao and Xia Lin being all lovey-dovey. What made him even more restless was He Chen's side.

Originally, it was always him and He Chen who were chatting, but now, for some reason, Xiang Nan not only gestured for him to give up his seat, but Xiang Nan is also chatting happily with He Chen, along with Yang Xiaoyun, whom both he and Xiang Nan envy.

As he watched, he realized what was happening and cursed Xiang Nan for being cunning!
Previously, he either avoided her or remained silent. Now that he discovered Yang Xiaoyun was not only interested in He Chen, but also in He Chen's friends, he took the initiative to become friends with He Chen in order to attract Yang Xiaoyun.

This was unbearable for him; he was He Chen's only friend in this circle of friends!
So he gave the space to the lovey-dovey Lu Tao and Xia Lin, moved closer to He Chen, and took the initiative to participate in the peacock display.

With Hua Zi gone, Lu Tao felt relieved. He noticed that Xia Lin's expression had returned to normal, and she didn't mention leaving, as if He Chen's humiliation hadn't bothered her much. This was something he couldn't understand.

"Charlene, aren't you angry? Don't hold it in. Just say the word and I'll go up there and get justice for you right away!"

"Lu Tao, stop making a fuss!" Xia Lin shook her head: "We'll never win an argument with him by just talking nonsense!"

Do you know why?

Because we haven't succeeded yet!

And he has succeeded!
Therefore, our words are empty, our speech lacks conviction, and we cannot even convince ourselves, let alone persuade others.

These words immediately aroused Lu Tao again. He vowed that he must fight hard, make Xia Lin happy, and defeat He Chen so that He Chen would have nothing to say!

Ah!
That's right!

Compared to the original storyline, he now has an added determination and goal to strive for.

Because He Chen had given him too much stimulation and frustration, he had to fight and win.

Below the billionaires, all are but ants!
He wants to make money, to make a small fortune, and become a billionaire!
Xia Lin looked at her boyfriend with a calm expression. He Chen had indeed repeatedly humiliated her, and she was indeed angry, but that was all.

He Chen wasn't wrong!

She just didn't want to admit it in public; it wasn't that she disagreed with He Chen's words.

In the original storyline, after she broke up with Lu Tao and went to Paris for a year of further studies, she returned for a holiday and talked to her best friend Yang Xiaoyun about her year. She boasted that although many people pursued her, especially a wealthy old man in his sixties who was particularly attentive, she was proud that she had not made any mistakes.

Therefore, her definition of "falling into a trap" is actually broader than He Chen's.

He Chen's mistake was at least a financial transaction, but her statement clearly defines her relationship with Lu Tao as a mistake.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have used that word. And if she hadn't said that her relationship with Lu Tao was a mistake... then Guan Peng and Lu Tao would be heartbroken, because Xia Lin, who frankly admitted that she had loved dating since she was a child and especially liked actively seeking excitement, it's hard to say whether she had already made a mistake before.

Ah!
It was the kind of slip-up that He Chen mentioned!
Therefore, when Xia Lin was implied to have made a mistake by He Chen, she was simply unwilling to accept this definition in public, but deep down she didn't feel embarrassed at all.

Of course, this is also because it was He Chen, not someone else, who was subtly mocking her.

If an ordinary person were to speak such blunt truths, it would be like killing someone by attacking their spirit; she would be broken down by the sharp blade of truth.

But for someone as good-looking, talented, and powerful as He Chen, it's impossible for her, who admires strength and has a special longing for foreign countries, to be as excited as Lu Tao, who is always ready to fight He Chen to the death!
It’s impossible!
She only lacks a tail, and He Chen doesn't give her the chance; otherwise, she would have wagged her tail long ago.

That's what sheepdogs are like!

If your boyfriend won't allow it, the strong will do whatever they want!

Where would you get the money to send it thousands of miles away? That's just basic stuff!
As for the original storyline, she doesn't seem to be like that. No matter how successful Lu Tao becomes, she wants to distance herself and break up with him. She seems very self-reliant, but there's actually no conflict between them.

Because she later took the initiative to tell the truth, but as soon as she said it, Lu Tao broke down and couldn't accept it.

What she said was: "To put it bluntly, you're just relying on women and your father, what the hell are you striving for!"

Therefore, Lu Tao is not a strong person, at least not in her eyes.

If she really wanted to curry favor, she could have just done so with Lu Tao's biological father.

This is already a consensus in society, with countless individual examples!
Instead of dating a rich second-generation heir who can't control the wealth for the time being, it's better to become the rich second-generation heir's stepmother right away, and all the wealth will be yours after the old man dies.

Throughout the process, the old man was definitely more caring than the rich kid!

When He Chen watched the TV series "Struggle", his first reaction when he saw Xia Lin drinking with Lu Tao's biological father at the club was, "No way, no way, is the exciting plot about to begin?"
Fortunately, TV dramas need to pass censorship and so they weren't scheduled to air, but it's not impossible.

Afterwards, Xia Lin continued to go to Lu Tao's biological father, inviting him to dinner and asking for his help, without wanting to act as Lu Tao's girlfriend... It's really hard to say whether all of this was a deliberate hint.

Even more outrageous is that Lu Tao's biological father isn't a good person either. He stole his friend's girlfriend back then, and when he talked to his son Lu Tao about the past, he said that Lu Tao's biological mother looked a lot like Xia Lin, and that he just liked that type...

Lu Tao was unaware of these things. He was feeling extremely distressed because he vaguely knew that Xia Lin's reaction to He Chen's humiliation was completely different from his own, which was likely because something was wrong with Xia Lin.

Otherwise, how could a normal person, especially a woman, remain so calm after being repeatedly humiliated in public, as if nothing had happened, and continue to get along with the person who humiliated her?
Something is wrong!
Something is very wrong!
