The King of Urban Mercenaries
Chapter 445 - 445 445 Accidentally Became the Beloved

445: Chapter 445 Accidentally Became the Beloved 445: Chapter 445 Accidentally Became the Beloved Zhonghai, an upscale women’s wellness center.

A corner of the grand lobby.

Su Qinglan, flushing faintly with anger and embarrassment, stared blankly at Lin Fei, looking rather dazed.

It wasn’t her fault, as Chairman Su, for having poor psychological endurance; Lin Fei’s words simply exceeded her expectations and, to some extent, challenged her understanding of life.

Initially, as the alluring chairman, Su Qinglan came at the invitation of the wellness center’s owner to discuss acquisition matters.

Being dragged to a corner of the lobby by Lin Fei for a private chat was test enough for her mental resilience.

After all, she was the chairman of Red Valley Group, known as the “savior of women” in Zhonghai.

The way Lin Fei treated her in public was humiliating!

If it had been something urgent, the dragging would have been tolerable.

But after all that, he just wanted to borrow money!

Borrowing money was one thing, but he made it sound so grand, as if she was lonely and desperately seeking a date!

Did he really think that just because of a one-night fling, she would eagerly throw herself at him?

With her figure and looks as Chairman Su, what kind of man couldn’t she find?!

There was no need for her to actively seek out men—the men wanting to date her were already lining up all the way to Tai Man Ocean!

It was just his luck to have taken advantage of her for one night; he must’ve thought he was irresistible, to the point where she needed to invite him and throw herself at him!

“Who do you think you are?!”

Once she regained her composure, Chairman Su immediately snapped at Lin Fei.

“Your booty call.”

Lin Fei’s casual response to Chairman Su’s outburst almost gave her a heart attack!

“Fine, fine, I admit I misspoke.

Since I’m here, and you know where I work, you can’t say I can run off.

In any case, considering our past association, you have to help me this time.”

Encountering Chairman Su, like striking the jackpot while trapped by a debt of 220,000, Lin Fei knew he had to grab this lifeline.

If he accidentally drove her away, he’d have nowhere left to cry.

“When did we ever have a special bond?!”

Compared to Lin Fei’s attempts to cozy up and appease, Chairman Su was clearly more embarrassed and indignant!

Although there was some “intimate past,” it was, at most, a misunderstood one-time incident.

How could that count as having a special bond?

She, Su Qinglan, known as the “savior of women” in Zhonghai, was the idol in the hearts of countless adult women of Zhonghai.

If a rumor of a special bond with a married man like Lin Fei spread, where would she put her face?

“A bond can be nurtured; just because it doesn’t exist now doesn’t mean it can’t in the future.

For instance, if you help me this time, then we’ll have a bond.”

“Your wife is richer than I am; why don’t you call her?!”

“That, you know, men have their pride.

Asking her for money would hurt my pride.”

“A man who values his self-respect shouldn’t be seen in a place like this during broad daylight, should he?!”

As someone who had been through similar situations and somewhat familiar with Lin Fei’s nature, how could Su Qinglan, this enchanting chairwoman, believe Lin Fei’s nonsensical talk about male pride?

“In a word, are you going to help or not?!”

Seeing that Su Qinglan, this enchanting chairwoman, seemed to see through everything and was mercilessly attacking him, Lin Fei, not wanting to waste words with a woman only to be struck mercilessly again, simply made his intentions clear and gave her an ultimatum!

Seeing that Lin Fei seemed displeased, Su Qinglan, this enchanting chairwoman, did not continue to strike at him.

She spoke seriously, “I’m not against helping you once, but first, you need to explain the situation to me clearly.

I can’t help you blindly.”

“How about you pay first, let me get my card.

Maybe later when there’s time—”

“I gave you a chance.”

Seeing that Lin Fei had no intention of explaining the situation clearly, and already somewhat resentful about Lin Fei being in this upscale women’s health spa, Su Qinglan threw him a sentence and then turned to leave.

“Wait a minute, it won’t hurt to tell you now.

It’s like this…”

Seeing that his lifeline, Su Qinglan, was about to leave, Lin Fei hurriedly grabbed her.

After briefly pondering, he began to explain to her his “painful experience” of being swindled by Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei, those two beautiful ministers.

Of course, Lin Fei automatically filtered out some unnecessary details in his mind.

“That’s the situation.

They are just too hateful.

If you don’t help me, I’m afraid I’ll have to stay here and do hard labor today.”

Lin Fei portrayed a pitiful tale to Su Qinglan, the enchanting chairwoman, about being schemed by Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei.

With a face of grievance, he genuinely looked like someone heartbreakingly wronged and tear-inducing.

How could he not feel wronged?

Even now, his temples were throbbing in pain!

“Wait!”

After listening to Lin Fei’s complaints about Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei, Su Qinglan, this enchanting chairwoman, with a chilling expression, coldly threw two words at Lin Fei.

The woman turned and stepped towards the crowd that was waiting for her to enter this upscale women’s health spa.

…

“Chairman Su seems to be preoccupied.”

Noticing that Su Qinglan was distracted, Ding Minfang, the behind-the-scenes owner of the women’s health spa who was considering selling the spa due to her planned immigration, couldn’t help but speak up thoughtfully.

“Ah?

No, I’m just a bit, a bit tired recently.”

Caught off-guard by Ding Minfang’s question, Su Qinglan, who was anxiously waiting in the lobby, hurriedly responded in an insincere tone and quickly lowered her head.

She was fearful of Ding Minfang seeing through her thoughts.

“I’m tired too, so maybe we’ll stop here for today.

Next time you’re free, Chairman Su, we can continue.”

Confirming that Su Qinglan was distracted, Ding Minfang, understandingly, ended the preliminary inspection regarding the purchase and proposed to reschedule.

“Ding sister, I—”

Su Qinglan, touched by Ding Minfang’s understanding, wanted to express her gratitude but was instead comforted by Ding Minfang who took her hand, “We’ve known each other for more than a day or two.

How could I not see that you’re troubled?

Rarely do you find someone you care about, I should be happy for you instead of holding you back.

Go on, don’t keep them waiting.”

With those words, Ding Minfang patted Su Qinglan’s hand reassuringly, gave her an encouraging look, and then led the others away.

Leaving only Su Qinglan behind, suddenly coming to her senses and blushing intensely with deep embarrassment…
