Why are you all trying to win over me, the male supporting character?

As the saying goes, "It's a tangled mess that can't be untangled."

He tried to calm himself down and stood up.

"No matter what means you use, take that land."

"If you can't win, I'll fire you all!"

"Did you understand?"

He swept his gloomy gaze over everyone in front of him.

The members of his team looked at each other.

There was a hint of fear hidden in each other's eyes.

Lin Chen put on his coat, took his keys, and went downstairs.

When he's in a bad mood, all he thinks about is having a couple of drinks.

There's a newly opened bar right across from this building.

With something on his mind, Lin Chen didn't look where he was going as he went downstairs. He bumped into someone who was also not looking where he was going, and the two of them stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Who?!"

"Phew, you hit someone, and you still have the nerve to complain?!"

Lin Chen frowned as he looked at the little brat.

The child glanced at him and was immediately frightened by his gloomy eyes. He got up and ran away as fast as he could.

"Monster! Daddy, there's a monster!"

The word "monster" ultimately hurt Lin Chen's pride.

No matter how bad he was, he was still the son of the former richest man in Yicheng, a sunny and handsome man.

How could someone be described as a "monster"?!

Lin Chen stood up, holding onto the railing, and stumbled downstairs.

He stumbled and staggered toward the bar.

"Lu Chengzhou, it's all your fault."

"It's all your fault."

"It's your fault..."

He blamed all his misfortunes on Lu Chengzhou alone.

However, while blaming Lu Chengzhou, he couldn't help but recall the small acts of kindness Lu Chengzhou had shown him, such as coming to his rescue, supporting him, and helping him pursue Su Qiaoman.

This plunged him into extreme anguish.

If someone is simply unkind to you, it's easy to hate them. But Lu Chengzhou has always been quite nice to him, and he always keeps his word.

So, how is he supposed to make a choice?

……

In the bar.

The place was brightly lit and the music was deafening.

Lin Chen kept drinking one glass after another, his eyes gradually becoming hazy.

Under the influence of alcohol, he became more impulsive and irritable. He would get into fights with people over the slightest disagreement, and even had to call in security guards.

Not far away, a group of people were sitting watching the play.

Su Qiaoman was among them.

When Lin Chen was under attack from all sides and was about to give up, her innocent and pure heart began to overflow again.

"Stop hitting him."

Su Qiaoman sent someone forward to stop the brutality.

She then crossed the dance floor and the narrow passageway to stand in front of Lin Chen.

Lin Chen looked up at her.

A wave of dizziness washed over him, making it impossible for him to see clearly who was in front of him.

Su Qiaoman picked up a glass of ice water and poured it over his head.

"Are you awake?"

She looked at him coldly, as if he were a bag of unsightly garbage.

Lin Chen shivered and became more awake.

“Su Qiaoman…”

"If you're awake, you should leave."

"Su Qiaoman, I..."

"Stop talking, or I'll look down on you even more."

Lin Chen stood up in a daze, opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak.

Laughter rose and fell in waves.

Seeing that he was unsteady on his feet, Su Qiaoman sighed, reached out, and helped him up.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone who was about to laugh at him, she helped him up and escorted him to the bar entrance.

In a secluded corner, Lin Chen broke down in tears.

Su Qiaoman stood beside him, looking down at him.

"Now that things have come to this, do you realize where you went wrong?"

"It's all Lu Chengzhou's fault!"

Lin Chen lost control of his emotions and started shouting.

"If it weren't for him, if it weren't for him... I would still be the son of the richest man in Yicheng! I wouldn't lose any bets, I wouldn't lose any of my wealth! And I, I wouldn't... I wouldn't lose you..."

Lin Chen clutched his hair in anguish, his voice growing softer and softer.

Su Qiaoman gave a cold laugh.

"The only wrong path you've taken is to become enemies with Lu Chengzhou."

Lin Chen looked up at her in disbelief.

“You should admit that without your father’s help and without the good fortune you were born with, you are no match for Lu Chengzhou.”

"Lu Chengzhou gave you too many opportunities, which made you think you were really that great!"

"Actually, you are nothing."

Su Qiaoman's voice, however, grew louder and louder.

It was like one heavy hammer blow after another, striking Lin Chen's heart.

"If you continue to fight for the Old Street project, you will lose everything."

"If you continue to be enemies with Lu Chengzhou, you will only lose more miserably."

"Lin Chen, it's time for you to wake up."

After saying these words, Su Qiaoman turned and left.

Lin Chen slumped onto the dirty cement floor, staring blankly at her receding figure, unable to recover for a long time.

……

A few days later.

The former owner of Yicheng Winery, carrying an empty money box, eagerly disembarked from the port.

A bald bodyguard came down with him.

"Quickly, take me to the winery, I need to see Boss Lu."

The bald bodyguard couldn't help but sneer at his manic behavior.

Gamblers are hopeless.

No matter what time it is, they always think about making a comeback.

"Please come in, the car is ready."

The former owner got into the car with excitement and headed straight for Yicheng Winery.

395. A red dress, and a haunted house adventure.

"Boss Lu!"

"Hey, Mr. Lu!"

"Mr. Lu, I'm here!"

The former owner kept calling out as he walked towards the winery's villa area.

Lu Chengzhou took off his sunglasses, got up from the recliner, squinted, and looked at him.

"What are you shouting for? Can't you be quiet?"

The former owner chuckled and very eagerly moved closer to him, then casually pulled up a chair and sat down in front of him.

"Tell me, what good news have you called me here for?"

Lu Chengzhou sized him up.

It had been a while since I'd seen him, and the former owner of the estate seemed to have become completely addicted to gambling, looking utterly haggard.

Lu Chengzhou didn't sympathize with the gambling addict, but he felt sorry for his son.

Where is your son?

"My son has a nanny to play with him, what good news is there?"
