I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 350 Deflated
As soon as Xu Chuan saw Wei Lin, he immediately realized that the person who had clashed with Li Yao must be Wei Lin.

There weren't many men in the private room to begin with; besides the owner Qi Fu and An Xin, only Wei Lin and Li Yao remained.

As the restaurant owner and an old acquaintance of Li Yao, Qi Fu would never cause trouble in his own restaurant.

Besides, he didn't dare.

An Xin looked flustered, with obvious fear in his eyes; he was clearly not the type to cause trouble.

Only Wei Lin sat upright at the dining table, a mocking smile on his lips, watching Li Yao, who had grown bolder. Who else could it be but him?

"Xu Chuan! You've finally arrived!"

Li Yao stood up abruptly again, pointed to Wei Lin who was standing motionless in his seat as if no one else was around, and said, "It's him!"

Li Yao was also drunk, and because Zhang Jiajia and Xu Chuan exchanged a few words at the door, he didn't seem to hear Xu Chuan call out "President Wei".

Upon hearing this, Xu Chuan's face immediately turned bitter.

The two younger brothers he brought were as tall and strong as him, with their bare forearms adorned with dragons and phoenixes. They were also acquaintances of Li Yao.

Li Yao, with a cold expression, gestured to the two men with his eyes, signaling them to make their move.

However, Li Yao didn't hear Xu Chuan say "President Wei" clearly, but the two of them heard it very clearly.

Neither of them dared to act rashly, and both looked at Xu Chuan with questioning eyes.

Xu Chuan shook his head slightly, sighed, and then smiled brightly at Wei Lin, saying, "President Wei, why did you and Li Yao get into a fight?"

He and Li Yao had known each other for many years; they were not only drinking buddies but also had some vested interests.

If the person in the private room today wasn't Wei Lin, he would naturally be willing to help Li Yao. But since it was Wei Lin, he would never dare to act recklessly.

He had been drinking with Hong Mo recently and had even inquired about Wei Lin's situation.

Hong Mo held Wei Lin in high esteem and told him some things he knew after drinking, which made Xu Chuan understand Wei Lin's situation.

“I wasn’t making a scene, he was the one making a scene.”

Wei Lin remained calm and composed.

Xu Chuan chuckled dryly, took a few steps past Wei Lin, and stood in front of Li Yao.

He grabbed Li Yao and pulled him to a corner, whispering in Li Yao's ear, "Brother, whatever happened between you two, listen to my advice."

At this moment, Li Yao realized what was happening and asked with a gloomy face, "Do you know him?"

Xu Chuan nodded slightly and continued in a low voice, "Brother, believe me, I won't harm you. Brother Wei... you can't afford to mess with him."

Li Yao was taken aback: "He just runs a small hat factory, right? Xu Chuan, are you afraid of him?"

"To be honest, I'm really scared." Xu Chuan's smile became even more bitter, and his voice lowered even further: "Hong Mo is my sworn brother, and he's Boss Hong Mo's little brother. Brother, you have to believe me, don't cause any trouble! From what I know, let alone you, even the two of us combined probably can't beat him."

Li Yao was horrified.

He certainly knew who Hong Mo was, and even more so who Hong Mo's current boss was.

So, Li Yao, who had been shouting loudly, suddenly fell silent.

The atmosphere in the private room was strange.

An Xin, Lin Ping, Feng Yuzhi, and Liu Yue, who were filled with fear and anxiety, saw that the saviors Li Yao had summoned actually advised Li Yao not to act impulsively, and they immediately knew that the conflict would not escalate any further.

Restaurant owner Qi Fu also breathed a sigh of relief.

What exactly is going on between you two?

Xu Chuan continued to ask in a low voice.

Li Yao hesitated for a moment before recounting what had happened, and then said, "It wasn't a big deal. I just thought they were being noisy, so I reminded them through the screen."

He didn't mention that he had provoked Wei Lin online, but Wei Lin barged in immediately, and the two even had a physical altercation.

"That's all?"

Xu Chuan chuckled in surprise, thinking that Li Yao had really been beaten up by Wei Lin, and said, "Alright, why make such a fuss over such a trivial matter? Just shut up and leave this to me, okay?"

Li Yao nodded.

After subtly revealing Wei Lin's background, and seeing that Li Yao had calmed down, Xu Chuan smiled calmly and said, "President Wei, we've become friends through this misunderstanding. How about you give me some face and let this matter drop?"

Wei Lin nodded with a smile: "Since you've brought it up, Mr. Xu, then let's leave it at that."

As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't bother to linger in Li Yao's private room any longer. After waving goodbye to Xu Chuan, he walked outside first.

"Mr. Wei, let's have a chat!"

Xu Chuan abandoned Li Yao and went to meet him alone. He pulled Wei Lin all the way to the door of Chuanxiangju before saying apologetically, "Li Yao and I are friends. He's usually very generous, but his tone is a bit harsh when he speaks. He's not a bad person, so don't take it to heart."

He took the initiative to talk to Wei Lin because he was worried that Wei Lin would cause trouble for Li Yao afterward, making things very difficult for Li Yao.

"I didn't suffer any losses. As long as Li Yao doesn't provoke me, why would I have time to deal with him?"

Wei Lin laughed nonchalantly.

Xu Chuan quickly replied, "That's good, that's good."

……

After Wei Lin left, An Xin and his group also left in a hurry. They went next door to get their clothes and handbags, and then took out their phones to find a designated driver on the platform.

"Jiajia, is that your second uncle? How does he know my brother?"

An Xin asked in surprise.

"How would I know?" Zhang Jiajia was equally incredulous. As she walked away with her bag, she stuck out her tongue and said, "My second uncle isn't a good person. He messed around in society when he was young. Isn't Brother Wei a legitimate businessman? How would he know my second uncle?"

Xu Chuan showed Wei Lin a sense of respect, which she could sense.

In her mind, her second uncle was a prominent figure in Linjiang City. Only when he met elders much older than her second uncle would he act as he did today.

Wei Lin was too young. What she learned from An Xin was that Wei Lin and An Xin's father were business partners.

She had recently visited Xinlin Hat Industry and heard An Xin boast about the company's business, but she didn't really believe it, thinking that An Xin was exaggerating to pursue her.

Consequently, from the very beginning, she felt that Wei Lin's company was not large in scale and his personal network of resources was also average.

In her eyes, her second uncle was the real big shot.

Xu Chuan's unusual behavior when he met Wei Lin surprised her, and she couldn't help but look at An Xin with more respect.

……

"Brother Wei is indeed impressive. He not only has great courage, but also has such a strong network of connections."

In VIP room 122, Feng Yuzhi and Lin Ping were holding hands behind each other.

She glanced at Lin Ping silently and said softly, "That woman next door should know Brother Wei. In my opinion, their relationship is probably more than just ordinary."

Lin Ping gave a soft snort: "I can see that."

When Wei Lin and Li Yao had a conflict, Liu Yue hurriedly pulled Wei Lin away and even blurted out Wei Lin's name. What else could the two be but old acquaintances?
She had always known that Wei Lin had many women around him, and naturally assumed that Liu Yue was one of them, so she couldn't help but secretly compare herself to Liu Yue.

"That woman looks ordinary. Wei Lin is probably just playing around and hasn't developed any real feelings for her."

Lin Ping made a comment, then she and Feng Yuzhi took their bags and left.

……

Next door, room 121.

After Xu Chuan left, his two henchmen also went out to the lobby to smoke.

So, only Li Yao and Liu Yue remained inside.

Li Yao, who had called Xu Chuan and the others over but not only failed to regain face but also received a cold shoulder, was seething with anger but had nowhere to vent it.

He smoked in silence.

Liu Yue remained silent as well.

Before Lin Ping left VIP room 122, she spoke to Feng Yuzhi in a low voice, which Feng Yuzhi happened to overhear.

Liu Yue's face twitched, and she was about to go over and demand an explanation when Li Yao, who had nowhere to vent his anger, suddenly said coldly, "Did you hear that? Wei Lin and you were just playing around, but you still can't forget him! Years have passed, and you haven't even had a new boyfriend. Can't you forget him that much?"

Li Yao couldn't control Wei Lin, and he couldn't find an opportunity with Liu Yue either. He was also provoked by Lin Ping's words.

Inside the private room, only he and Liu Yue were present, and he could only vent his anger on Liu Yue.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yue, who had intended to say a few words to appease him, immediately flew into a rage.

"Li Yao!"

Liu Yue shouted angrily, glaring at him and yelling, "How many times have I told you? Wei Lin and I have nothing going on! What do you think I was trying to persuade Wei Lin for? I was afraid you'd get hurt!"

"You can't beat them! You called people over, but weren't the people you called just telling you to stop causing trouble?"

"Let me tell you the truth, I know Wei Lin's background better than you do! Not to mention you, Li Yao, even my uncle, Tong Jianlin, has suffered at Wei Lin's hands!"

“Wei Lin’s two companies are both more profitable than your sand and gravel business, and he even owns a Cullinan!”

"Li Yao! You are no match for Wei Lin at all, not in any aspect!"

In the past, when she talked to Hua Hongshan about that Cullinan, she always said it definitely didn't belong to Wei Lin, and that Wei Lin had borrowed it from a friend to show off.

At this moment, in an attempt to undermine Li Yao, she actually claimed that the Cullinan belonged to Wei Lin.

"Hahaha!"

Li Yao smiled without getting angry: "Liu Yue, Liu Yue! I've finally figured it out today. You're just after his money, aren't you? Oh, so he drives a Rolls-Royce Cullinan! No wonder you're still so hung up on him!"

Liu Yue was so angry at his words that she almost fainted.

"Your case is void! Li Yao, don't bother me with any more lawsuits! I'm not going to serve someone as petty as you anymore!"

"Wei Lin and I may not have anything going on, but someone like you isn't even worthy of being compared to him!"

"goodbye!"

Liu Yue slammed the door and left.

……

Parking lot outside Chuanxiangju Restaurant.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Xu Chuan, Wei Lin found a designated driver and was about to get into the car.

"Wei Lin! You stop right there!"

Liu Yue walked over quickly.

……
