Chapter 178: Chapter 198: Are You So Pessimistic About Love? _1

"Alright!"

Lin Chen leaned on the glass railing of the shopping mall, took out his mobile phone, and brushed through short videos while he waited for Chu Jiaxue.

"Cough cough..."

A violent bout of coughing caught Lin Chen’s attention.

Lin Chen turned his head and saw a sixty-something-year-old man in a Tang suit covering his mouth and coughing violently. His face was red, and he looked very uncomfortable, as if he was going to suffocate and die at any moment.

Standing beside the old man was a sexy young woman with a curvy figure, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. She was patting the old man’s back, and as she bent down slightly, more than half of her ample cleavage was exposed, drawing attention to her chest.

Lin Chen took a glance at the old man’s face and frowned slightly, thinking that the old man must be seriously ill.

As Lin Chen’s gaze fell on the young woman, she seemed to notice him, looked at him, and scolded: "What are you looking at? Haven’t you seen a woman before?"

Lin Chen was speechless - this woman was too aggressive.

With the way she was dressed and half of her chest exposed, who wouldn’t look at her?

If she didn’t want people to look, she shouldn’t dress so revealingly.

Crazy!

Lin Chen calmly replied, "This must be your father, right? He has a serious lung problem, and you should take him to the hospital for a check-up. A cough like this could be dangerous."

The young woman’s face changed, and she shouted angrily, "This is my boyfriend! It’s none of your damn business, you busybody!"

Boyfriend?

This old man is quite fashionable.

For a moment, Lin Chen also felt a bit awkward, touched his nose and said, "Ahem, sorry... "

The young woman looked Lin Chen up and down and sneered, "With that poor and shabby face of yours, you have the time to care about others? You should work more and earn more money. Otherwise, not even a village girl would marry you."

Lin Chen frowned, "I’m just reminding you out of kindness, were you really necessary to be so sarcastic?"

The old man’s coughing subsided, it seemed like he had recovered a little, but he still appeared frail. The young woman helped the old man sit down on a seat nearby and mocked, "I’m kindly reminding you too - mind your own business."

Lin Chen didn’t want to argue with this woman and was about to leave when the sound of high heels hitting the ground caught his attention. The elegant and queen-like Chu Jiaxue approached and naturally held Lin Chen’s arm, "What happened, hubby?"

Lin Chen smiled slightly, "It’s nothing. I just tried to help but got treated like a joke. They said I look poor and even a village girl wouldn’t want to marry me."

Chu Jiaxue glanced at the woman opposite and chuckled, "Well, if you didn’t dress so casually all the time, others wouldn’t underestimate you. Don’t be angry. There are many people who judge others by their looks... Let’s go and have dinner."

Lin Chen laughed, "Sure."

The young woman nearby watched the scene, her face turning red with embarrassment. After all, Chu Jiaxue outshined her in looks, figure, and temperament, crushing her in every aspect. Judging by her attire, she was definitely wealthy - the embodiment of the rich Northern beauty.

She had just mocked Lin Chen for not being able to marry even a village girl, but she was slapped in the face by the turn of events.

It stung.

"Hubby, are you feeling better? Let’s continue shopping. That store is just ahead..."

The old man hummed in agreement, his gaze falling on the woman, his eyes deep with disgust.

When the itch in his throat returned, he began to cough violently again.

The woman’s footsteps paused for a moment before she quickly walked towards the LV store up ahead, as if she had completely ignored the violent coughing behind her.

The old man coughed violently, the disgust in his eyes turning fierce.

...

"Thank you for helping me out."

Chu Jiaxue withdrew her hand from Lin Chen’s arm and smiled slightly, "It’s a small thing; I just couldn’t stand her sarcastic attitude."

Lin Chen laughed, "A sixty-year-old man with a twenty-something girlfriend - the heart stays young even while the body ages."

Chu Jiaxue pursed her lips and laughed, "Men never seem to grow up – from eighteen to eighty, they all like young and pretty women. It will never change. Judging from the situation, I guess it’s just a rich man playing around, not real love."

Lin Chen laughed, "In today’s society, people are very practical. There isn’t much real love. Some people look at looks first, then family background. Others look at family background first, then looks. Some just look at family background and don’t care about looks... "

Chu Jiaxue smiled, "As long as they have money, right?"

Lin Chen laughed, "When a poor couple struggles, who doesn’t want to live a good life? Good looks are also a kind of capital. It’s a mutual exchange of resources."

Chu Jiaxue stared at Lin Chen and pursed her lips, "Are you so pessimistic about love?"
