Chapter 521 Charity Gala
He Guangzu, with an air of "I'll drink it all, you can do whatever you want," downed his drink in one gulp.
Seeing this, Fatty Lin didn't refuse him and also downed his drink.
Seeing this, He Guangzu immediately gave Wen Haichao a look. Wen Haichao understood, picked up the decanter, filled Lin Pangzi's glass, and said in a flattering voice, "Brother Zai, I'd like to toast you. I hope you'll take good care of me in the future!"
"Tides!"
Fatty Lin clinked glasses with Wen Haichao and then said, "Is it alright if I call you that?"
"What could be wrong with that?"
Before Wen Haichao could answer, He Guangxiu opened his mouth.
"Brother Zai, I'll be happy no matter what you call me!" Wen Haichao clinked glasses with Fatty Lin again, a blush rising on his cheeks, his eyes like hooks fixed on Fatty Lin's face.
I'm completely convinced.
This couple is a mess. One of them treats his wife like a bargaining chip, utterly shameless, while the other goes along with it, flattering and fawning over her.
The two of them, singing in unison, completely changed my understanding of shamelessness.
That's not the point. The point is, I couldn't see a single trace of helplessness on either of their faces.
Judging from their expressions, this wasn't the first time they'd done this; they seemed quite adept at it.
Long Nier and I didn't say anything; we just watched coldly.
Having been in the world of fame and fortune for so long, I've seen a lot, but I've never seen anything like this couple before.
Interestingly, Zhou Peiru was able to smile at first, but as soon as He Guangzu offered his wife and Wen Haichao tried to please him, the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
When Fatty Lin readily agreed, her expression stiffened for a moment.
I can tell, Zhou Peiru seems to be jealous.
Things are getting more and more interesting.
As the drinking party continued, He Guangzu kept toasting Fatty Lin, showering him with flattering words as if they were free.
Wen Haichao, on the other hand, snuggled up to Fatty Lin, occasionally saying a few flattering words, their intimacy like that of a married couple.
Zhou Peiru was the most interesting; her smile grew increasingly forced, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.
The happiest people were Long Nier and me; we ate and watched the show at the same time.
Xiao Ba was also very happy. Zhou Peiru specially arranged a small seat for her, and she ate and watched the show just like the two of us.
The meal lasted for more than three hours, and it didn't end until almost midnight.
After the party ended, He Guangzu went home, Wen Haichao helped Fatty Lin upstairs to the guest room, and Long Nier and I went home.
For the next three days, apart from a phone call every day, we didn't see Fatty Lin again.
Three days later, when Fatty Lin returned, he was noticeably thinner.
"Damn, what did you do?"
I was truly astonished.
In all the time we've been together, I've never seen Fatty Lin lose weight because of this. This is the first time ever!
"Fatty, you didn't run into a female demon, did you?" Long Nier asked suspiciously.
"Chirp?"
Even Xiao Ba came out to ask Fatty Lin what was wrong.
"Don't even mention it!"
Fatty Lin waved his hand and said, "Wen Haichao went to Japan for further studies in his early years, and I almost got caught in a trap there!"
"Oh, not easy! Even our Master Lin has his moments of misfortune!" I said sarcastically.
"The boat didn't capsize!"
Fatty Lin shifted his position, making the sofa creak. "I'll say it again, it almost capsized, but it didn't!"
"Didn't the boat capsize?"
I pointed to the scale in the corner and said, "Go weigh yourself and see how many pounds you've lost before you say you didn't capsize!"
"Fine, let's weigh it then!"
Fatty Lin cursed irritably and got up to weigh himself.
"Losing less than four pounds in three days, and you call that a failure?"
Seeing the numbers on the scale, Fatty Lin got excited again.
"Your medicine is gone!" I said casually.
With his body type that gains weight even from drinking water, how could he lose nearly four pounds in three days and tell me there was no mishap? Who would believe that?
"Brother, you're my brother!"
Upon hearing that there was no more medicine, Fatty Lin's expression changed instantly. He bowed and came to me, then reached out to massage my shoulders.
"Did it crash?" I asked.
"It crashed!" Fatty Lin grinned and nodded without thinking.
"Is it right or wrong?" I asked again.
"Wrong!" Fatty Lin changed his pinching motion to a hammering motion, tapping rhythmically.
"Chirp!"
Xiao Ba looked down on Lin Pangzi's behavior, pouted, snuggled back into Long Nier's arms, and seemed a little listless. The meaning was simple: there was no show to watch, and she was a little unhappy.
"Tell me, Wen Haichao served you for three days, what did you give him in return?" I pointed to my right shoulder, signaling him to move to another spot.
"I gave Fourth Aunt's phone number to He Guangzu!" Fatty Lin said.
"Did you inform Fourth Wife beforehand?" I paused, then turned around and asked.
"I already did, I'm not stupid, how could I not inform them about something like this?" Fatty Lin turned me back and continued massaging me, saying, "He Guangzu does have some influence, and Fourth Aunt is quite willing to get in touch with someone in the banking industry like him!"
"That's fine!" I said.
"These past three days, I haven't just been with Wen Haichao alone; I also met up with her two best friends, and I even gave those two best friends a little 'care'!" Fatty Lin said.
"Fine, fine, you're awesome, you're amazing, okay?" I said irritably.
This guy is deliberately trying to annoy me!
"You're crazy! What are you talking about? Aren't I just trying to make money too?"
Fatty Lin turned the tables and accused Lin of wrongdoing.
"Get out! Get out! Get out!"
The way he looks really makes me angry.
"That medicine?" Fatty Lin looked at me ingratiatingly.
"Stop, okay?" I impatiently pulled open the drawer, took out a pill, and threw it at him.
"Great, absolutely great!"
Fatty Lin took the medicine, broke the wax seal, and popped it into his mouth, swallowing it like a candy.
"what!"
After taking his medicine, he yawned and said, "I'm sleepy, I'm going to take a nap!"
"Brother, Fatty has really worked hard. He's earned over five million in these three days. You don't need to add any more flour!"
Long Nier felt a little reluctant after Lin Pangzi went upstairs.
"I'll do as you say, I won't add it!"
I laughed when I thought about how Lin Pangzi lost nearly four pounds in three days. He really worked hard.
For the next two weeks, Lin Pangzi's social gatherings never stopped. Guo Meiqi, Zhou Peiru, Wen Haichao and other women took turns introducing her to various socialites from their own small circles. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was living a life of unparalleled bliss.
That morning, Fatty Lin came back yawning and told us that there was a charity gala dinner that evening, and that Long Nier and I should prepare so we could go together.
"Another charity gala. Who's hosting this one?"
What I hate most are charity galas; they're so fake and empty.
"It seems to be someone named Luo Menghui!" Fatty Lin said after thinking for a moment.
"Luo Menghui? The Luo family of Hong Kong Island?" I asked.
"no!"
Fatty Lin shook his head and said, "It seems to be from Singapore!"
"From Singapore!"
I didn't take it too seriously, but little did I know that this dinner party would drag us into another storm.
