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

In comparison, emotional debts are much harder to repay.

Speaking of romantic entanglements, not only the faces of the two young ladies from the Meng family flashed through his mind, but also the face of Jiang Aiyu and the face of his junior schoolmate Xu Qian...

Yes, he realized that despite his utmost caution, he had still embarked on a path of no return.

I tried my best to control myself from falling in love, but it seems I still developed different feelings for them.

"This is such a hassle."

Lu Chengzhou sighed.

I used to always want to run away but couldn't. Now, I have the ability to run away at any time, but it seems like I'm being held back, and I don't really want to run anymore.

However, no matter how much he tries to avoid or evade, his love-hate relationship with these girls will likely come to a final conclusion after this duel with the male protagonist.

Mr. Lu, who is usually carefree and fearless, was a little uneasy at this moment.

In the end, who will emerge victorious?

……

at the same time.

On Lin Chen's side.

His subordinates brought him a lot of good news.

His business in the city is proceeding smoothly.

Some of his rivals, whether through legitimate or illegitimate means, were eliminated by him and never appeared in the city again.

"Young Master Lin, congratulations."

After the assistant finished reporting the good news, he handed over a thick folder.

Lin Chen glanced at them and found that they were all letters asking to get to know each other.

Among them were many daughters of prominent families in the city.

Lin Chen originally intended to just throw them all away.

But, in a split second, he slipped out a cherry blossom-colored letter.

"I refuse to believe that I can't fall in love with anyone other than Su Qiaoman!"

Lin Chen initially treated Su Qiaoman as nothing more than a beautiful appendage. It wasn't until this woman grew stronger and stronger, even to the point where she could occasionally step on him and surpass him, that he realized his feelings for her had changed.

This almost pathological possessiveness and desire to conquer is, in a sense, even stronger than his desire for the female protagonist in the original work.

Unfortunately, Su Qiaoman looked down on him completely.

Moreover, she was very wary of him and always had many bodyguards around her, so it was impossible for him to have someone kidnap her and bring her back.

The assistant was somewhat surprised to see Lin Chen accept the letter from this unfamiliar young lady from a prestigious family.

Everyone in the Lin family knows that Lin Chen harbors deep resentment towards Miss Su, and he speaks to her in a humble and subservient manner on many important occasions, like a sycophant.

Unexpectedly, he changed his mind today.

Are you not going to lick it anymore?

Have you figured it out?

That's a miracle.

"Go contact this person and have her come to see me." Lin Chen casually handed the letter to his assistant.

"Yes, Young Master Lin."

The assistant didn't ask why; he was just doing his job for money and didn't really know Lin Chen.

After Lin Chen met this young lady, he asked her directly, "What do you like about me?"

The young lady was a little confused by his question.

However, she still stammered out polite phrases like "I admire your looks and talent."

Lin Chen smiled.

Then, he deliberately asked, "Do you know someone named Lu Chengzhou?"

Upon hearing the name, the young lady paused for a moment.

Clearly, she also knew Lu Chengzhou.

However, despite her best efforts to create several chance encounters with Lu Chengzhou at the party, he still didn't remember her face.

He's surrounded by countless beautiful women, yet he treats them all with the same gentle words, consideration, and thoughtfulness, like a heartless playboy.

Clearly, that man was extremely difficult to win over.

Therefore, she abandoned her plan to win over Lu Chengzhou and instead sent a letter to Lin Chen.

These words...

Of course, she wouldn't be foolish enough to tell Lin Chen directly.

Lin Chen: "Alright, you can go now."

Heiress: "Huh?!"

Lin Chen read the answer from her dazed expression in those few seconds.

He chuckled self-deprecatingly.

At that moment, he felt with profound clarity that he was living in Lu Chengzhou's shadow.

"Between you and me, only one can survive."

Lin Chen stared at Lu Chengzhou's photo, gritting his teeth.

"I, Lin Chen, can never live in your shadow forever!"

410. Why are you so soft-hearted?

At this time, Yicheng was peaceful and calm.

No matter how much Lin Chen and Lu Chengzhou fight, the battlefield is only in the neighboring city.

The Meng sisters, who stayed at the winery, have been lounging in the garden sunbathing like salted fish lately.

Previously, this position belonged to Lu Chengzhou.

It's clear that spending too much time with lazy people can easily make you lazy yourself.

"Lately I've been feeling uneasy, as if something big is about to happen."

Meng Wanyu took off her sunglasses and slowly opened her eyes.

Sunlight filtered through the trees, casting dappled shadows that fell on her face.

I wonder what Lu Chengzhou is doing at this time?

This guy who only knows how to run away is really asking for trouble.

How dare they not contact them for so many days!

Sister Meng, on the other hand, seemed used to it...

She knew that it was basically impossible to make Lu Chengzhou take responsibility.

"Don't worry, that guy is ridiculously strong, what could possibly happen to him?"

That's what my sister said.

She truly trusted Lu Chengzhou.

Hearing her sister say this, Meng Wanyu frowned: "Sister, are you serious?"

So, what are you worried about?

My sister also took off her sunglasses, shifted to a more comfortable position, and continued lying down.

The small blanket draped over her fell off, and she quickly scooped it up.

Meng Wanyu pursed her lips and said, "Lin Chen is such a troublemaker. I've always looked down on him, and now I think I should have been more ruthless and just killed him..."

"Lin Chen?"

Sister Meng frowned.

"This kid is definitely not a good person."

Most people in this world cannot be simply defined as "good" or "evil".

However, Lin Chen does have quite a few annoying traits.

"Selfish, narrow-minded, two-faced, and jealous..."

Meng Wanyu summarized it for Lin Chen.

"Moreover, they are ungrateful."

Without Lu Chengzhou, Lin Chen would have died hundreds of times over.

Even now, Meng Wanyu doesn't understand why someone like Lu Chengzhou, who always acts out of self-interest, would have gone to such lengths to help Lin Chen back then.

Lin Chen has shown him malice on many occasions, yet he has been able to forgive and forget.

This is so strange!

Well, without God's perspective, she can only keep this mystery forever.

Sister Meng, however, pretended to understand, even though she was confused.

"Thinking too much will make you unhappy."

She looked at her sister and smiled.

"There's nothing we can do, let's just wait quietly."

Meng Wanyu sighed and remained silent.

She felt that Lu Chengzhou and Lin Chen would soon reach a conclusion.

Since it's supposed to be a "final reckoning," then, given Lin Chen's character, it'll most likely be a fight to the death.
