Chapter 558 Settling the Matter
I know what Fatty Lin is thinking. If it's consensual, we won't interfere, just like with Wang Zixuan back then. We might offer a few words of advice, but whether she listens or not is her own business.
But what Zeng Xiaowei and his group did clearly crossed the line.
In addition, the Bai family mother and daughter were once our clients, spending several million yuan with us. Putting everything else aside, for the sake of the money, we have to look into this matter.
"Xiao Lin, thank you. How do you want the money?" Bai's mother was a little excited, tears welling up in her eyes, and she shook Lin Pangzi's hand.
"Auntie, forget about the money. We're all from the mainland. If I don't stand up for you, who will?"
"That's what Fatty Lin said in a very serious tone."
After he finished speaking, he gently patted Bai's mother's hand.
I pursed my lips and exchanged a glance with Long Nier; we both saw the knowing look in each other's eyes.
It must be said that Fatty Lin did provide excellent service to his female clients.
"Xiao Lin, could you examine Xiao Mei and give her some treatment? She hasn't been eating or sleeping well these past few days; her body is completely worn out!"
After thanking her, Bai's mother looked at Bai Yimei with a worried expression and said...
Upon hearing this, I felt a bit of admiration for Bai's mother.
She saw that Fatty Lin didn't want money, so she used the excuse of conditioning her body to give him money.
"Okay, no problem!"
Fatty Lin couldn't be happier to receive this request.
"Xiao Lin, I'm not feeling well either, could you take care of me a bit later?" Bai's mother said again.
Fatty Lin's eyes lit up, and he said, "Auntie, this is no problem at all, I'll give you a 30% discount!"
After saying that, he said to me, "Crazy, take Xiaomei's pulse and give her some acupuncture. I don't think she's in good condition!"
"Um!"
I nodded.
I could tell without Fatty Lin saying it.
Bai Yimei's condition is clearly not right. She is now somewhat withdrawn, and if this continues, she may develop depression and even attempt suicide!
Two hours later, the acupuncture treatment was completed.
The Bai family mother and daughter were in much better condition, especially Bai Yimei, whose eyes were now shining.
Fatty Lin is in better condition now.
For the past month, we've been busy with either gambling king Lui's affairs or exorcising evil spirits. He hasn't had a moment of free time and is getting restless.
This time, helping the Bai family mother and daughter to regulate their bodies was a great relief, and all the pressure was gone.
The Bai family, mother and daughter, ate lunch with us; I prepared the medicinal cuisine.
After lunch, the two of them took a nap at my place.
At 2 PM, Fatty Lin started making phone calls in front of the two of them.
"Mr. Huang, it's my treat tonight, how about we go out for drinks?"
Fatty Lin called Huang Dacheng first, and put the call on speakerphone after it was connected.
"Xiao Lin, you've been busy with Mr. Lü's matter lately, is Mr. Lü alright now?" Huang Dacheng asked.
"Everything's alright!"
Fatty Lin chuckled and said, "Mr. Huang, you'd better set aside some time for me tonight. I'll invite Zeng Xiaowei and Brother Long, and we'll book the place at your hotel. How about that?"
"Okay, no problem!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Huang Dacheng said, "Should I call a couple of people to keep us company?"
"No need. We're just trying to build camaraderie. What would we need women for?" Fatty Lin said.
"Okay, see you tonight!" Huang Dacheng agreed without showing any sign of anything amiss.
After calling Huang Dacheng, Fatty Lin then called his older brother Long and Zeng Xiaowei in turn.
Like Huang Dacheng, these two agreed without any hesitation.
After finishing the call, Fatty Lin put down his phone and said to the Bai family mother and daughter, "Auntie, Xiao Mei, did you hear that? These three know what's going on now. They know why I'm looking for them. We're going to dinner tonight. Don't come over yet. Wait for us outside the hotel until I call you!"
"It must have been Zeng Xiaowei who contacted them!" said Bai's mother.
"That's for sure, all three of them are shrewd people!" I said.
At first, Bai's mother called Zeng Xiaowei "Brother Zeng," but after Lin Pangzi backed him up, she started calling him Zeng Xiaowei directly.
After scanning the mother and daughter's faces, Fatty Lin said, "Auntie, I have a question for you!"
"Xiao Lin, ask away!" Bai's mother said with a smile, her voice carrying a sticky tone.
"What are you planning to do after you get the photos and videos back? Are you still going to stay in the Hong Kong entertainment circle?" Fatty Lin asked.
"I haven't decided yet!" Mother Bai's face stiffened. "Let's just take it one step at a time!"
"Auntie, there are some things I shouldn't be saying..."
Fatty Lin tapped the table, seemingly pondering how to continue. Seeing this, Mother Bai quickly said, "Little Lin, just say what you need to say. Without you, my son and I wouldn't know what to do!"
"My point is simple: stop thinking about going international or becoming an international superstar. Our skin color is what it is; they don't recognize us!"
Fatty Lin pointed to his face and said, "Your best option is to go back to the mainland. With Xiao Mei's fame, her career is bound to be successful!"
"I see!"
Bai's mother hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Seeing this, Fatty Lin didn't try to persuade me anymore, and I didn't say anything either.
Judging from Bai's mother's expression, she clearly hadn't listened to what Lin Pangzi said, so there was no point in saying anything more.
This kind of person won't turn back until they hit a wall, and even after hitting a wall, they still won't turn back.
I'm just a little confused. At this point, why hasn't she gone back to the mainland?
Although Huayi has great power, it is not a monopoly. With Bai Yimei's fame, there are plenty of people vying to sign her when she returns to the mainland.
After tonight, when we get the photos back, even if Brother Long and the others don't say anything openly, they'll have their own thoughts and will definitely try to make things difficult for Bai Yimei.
Under these circumstances, it's somewhat strange that Bai's mother still doesn't want to return to the mainland.
Thinking of this, a thought struck me: Could it be that she still has someone to rely on?
The more I think about it, the more likely it seems. If she has someone to rely on, why would she come to us? Is she using us as pawns?
At 6 PM, we set off for Huang Dacheng's hotel.
After arriving at the hotel, we went inside, while the Bai family mother and daughter waited downstairs for a phone call.
As we walked further in, I told Fatty Lin my guess. After listening, Fatty Lin smiled and said, "Crazy! If those mother and daughter really have someone backing them, and they're using us as pawns, we'll definitely remember this!"
As soon as we stepped out of the elevator, Zeng Xiaowei greeted us from a distance, saying, "Xiaolin, Shisan, Nier, the private room is up ahead!"
"Brother Wei, have you been waiting for a while?"
Looking at Zeng Xiaowei who was coming to greet him, Fatty Lin asked with a smile.
"Not long!" Zeng Xiaowei waved his hand, as if to say that he would do anything as long as they were happy.
It must be said that Zeng Xiaowei gave him plenty of face.
Upon arriving at the private room, Zeng Xiaowei opened the door and acted as our waiter.
The moment they entered the private room, Brother Long and Huang Dacheng stood up at the same time, greeting them with smiles on their faces.
