Chapter 1298 That Damn He Chen! (Day 21, Saturday, Requesting Monthly Tickets!)

Do I still need to give a gift?

He Chen smiled reservedly.

Leaving aside the abstract concepts of supporting dreams and helping to maximize their pursuit, even just considering Mi Lai's greatly improved riding skills, she understands that the benefits of being with He Chen are countless.

These are things that are not easy to talk about with outsiders.

But in Yang Xiaoyun's eyes, even without these unspeakable benefits, He Chen's face and his billions in assets alone were enough to make it impossible to refute this simple yet Versailles-like statement.

If He Chen is willing to be friends with them... then he really doesn't need gifts!
They can give gifts in return!
After the party ended.

Hua Zi told Lulu to go back first, while he stayed behind to talk to He Chen alone.

"He Chen, don't worry about it. I'll definitely have a good talk with Lulu when I get back and tell her not to interrupt! What does she know!"

He's always been a bystander, enjoying the spectacle, and he certainly doesn't want to become part of the spectacle himself.

He Chen neither confirmed nor denied this, but instead asked with a smile, "How did Lulu sleep when she came to visit?"

"It was my fault for not being generous enough before!" When Hua Zi heard He Chen ask about this, he felt that He Chen was standing up for him, so he quickly reflected on himself to reduce He Chen's aversion to Lulu.

"They're here now. As long as we don't give up, there's always a way out! I was originally planning to go home or rent another place for the siblings to live in!"

But Lulu insisted on staying at the hotel by herself. I told her it wasn't safe, but she insisted and didn't want to waste the money!

In the end, those who persevere will be rewarded!
She found a small hut behind the shop, fully equipped with a small bed and everything else!
It’s really another village where everything is bright and clear!
Now her brother and I sleep on the sofa in the shop outside, while she sleeps in the small room inside!
Good!"

"Hua Zi, you!" He Chen shook his head.

"What's wrong with me?" Hua Zi asked, puzzled, scratching his head sheepishly.

"You're someone who hangs out on the streets all the time, and you even took over this barbershop from some nodding acquaintance. You shouldn't lack this common sense!" He Chen reminded him.

"The secluded little house behind the barbershop, which you two didn't even discover immediately after taking over, is so hidden, yet it's fully equipped with a small bed and all that. You're telling me you don't know what that place is?"

“I’ve heard of it, but it has nothing to do with our barbershop. We don’t do that kind of thing!” Hua Zi chuckled. “Besides, the friend who took over the business didn’t do that kind of thing, so he didn’t make much money. He only made enough for beer and found it boring, so he sold it to me.”

How could he possibly be completely oblivious to the little hut and small bed hidden behind the barbershop?

Isn't that the key to how many barbershops make big money?

"Of course you can't do it!" He Chen glanced at him. "The reason I brought this up is not only to remind you not to have such wicked thoughts, but also to remind you of something else. Even you didn't remember this matter and didn't look for this kind of hidden hut. How come Lulu found it all at once?"

"He Chen, you can't just say things like that!" Hua Zi's face immediately darkened. "I know Lulu shouldn't have interrupted like that, but she's really not that kind of person!"

"I didn't say she was that kind of person!" He Chen said calmly. "I was just reminding you of some details you should pay attention to!"

She used to sing at Charlene's Club, and she still sings in places like that. It's not surprising that she knows the secret to making quick money behind the scenes at the hair salon!
If you're just kidding, then pretend I didn't say anything!
If you want to be serious, pay close attention to these details before you invest more emotion and effort!

As a friend, I don't want you to come to me one day and drink away your sorrows over these things!

I don't drink alcohol, and I certainly don't drink alone when I'm feeling down!

I'm always quick-witted; if I foresee something, I'll say it directly.

“I know you mean well, but…” Hua Zi sighed, then smiled and said, “Okay, I’ll remember that! If I really get into trouble because of this in the future, I won’t come to you to drink alone and let you listen to my complaints. I’ll go to Lu Tao and Xiang Nan!” “No, you won’t!” He Chen said bluntly, “Because if you go to them, all they’ll do is laugh at you and make fun of you, or they’ll make you choose to forgive and accept it! Especially Lu Tao!”

"..." Hua Zi was taken aback, thought for a moment, and still had no answer.

Because he felt that what He Chen said might be right.

Given their somewhat mischievous circle of friends, it's unbelievable that he'd actually mess up in something like this. Lu Tao and Xiang Nan are really capable of doing something like this!

Especially Lu Tao!
If Lu Tao could do that kind of thing with Xia Lin, his ego must be crooked.

Although he didn't believe Lu Tao would do such a thing to him, he wasn't surprised at all that Lu Tao's ego was tilted towards Lulu instead of him, his buddy.

Thinking about it this way, He Chen's foresight of the risks and his frank warnings, even though they didn't want to hear them, truly showed that he considered them friends.

He Chen dared to say this not because he was making things up, but because he had evidence for it.

In the original storyline, Hua Zi gave so much, only to be betrayed and cheated on by his buddy. Afterwards, his buddy Zhu Tou and Lulu cornered him at home, insisting that he forgive them and wish them well. He could only shut himself off and drink alone.

Lu Tao came over and, half-jokingly and half-seriously, asked him to choose to forgive, saying that the couple who cheated on him had it tough, and that they were quite sincere.

If no one reminds me, then so be it.

Now that He Chenyi has reminded him that Lu Tao is acting differently, Hua Zi can figure out after a little thought that Lu Tao would definitely do this, and why he would do this!
"What did you say to He Chen?" Lulu immediately questioned Hua Zi after he said goodbye to He Chen and returned to the barbershop.

"It's nothing." Hua Zi, of course, wouldn't say those things aloud.

"What is it if there is nothing?" Lulu became even more anxious when she saw that Hua Zi was looking at her with a more scrutinizing gaze and that Hua Zi was unwilling to speak.

"I know he doesn't like me! Are you the same way he is?"

"That's not true!" Hua Zi quickly denied. "If you really want to know, I'll tell you! It's all the same old story!"

I already told you, if we go there and happen to see He Chen confronting Lu Tao and the others, we'll just watch the show and have some fun.

You wouldn't listen; you insisted on getting involved.

Last time wasn't enough, so let's do it again!
Is He Chen a good-tempered person?
How could he not argue with you?
If he hadn't held back out of consideration for me, do you think it would have ended there?

You didn't see how Lu Tao and the others were driven to the brink of collapse by He Chen's retorts!

What did I say to him?
All I did was explain to him, assure him that I wouldn't cause trouble again, and ask him not to drag you into any more attacks!

"I didn't mean anything by it." Seeing that Hua Zi's voice was getting louder and more self-righteous, Lulu felt guilty and lowered her voice to explain in a low voice.

"I was just asking! I won't say it again."

While saying this, Hua Zi carefully observed the foundation of her current struggle, her eyes and expression revealing her resentment towards He Chen.

If it weren't for He Chen, Hua Zi, a kind and honest person who is also a local with a family and a career and a willingness to work hard, would definitely be her best support at this stage.

She was confident she could control him.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to bring her younger brother over so soon, even though Hua Zi was unwilling.

They were absolutely certain that Hua Zi was a good person!
If Hua Zi becomes more suspicious and wary of her because of He Chen... she'd be furious!
