Chapter 251: Chapter 271: Can You Eat Soft or Hard Food? _1

She’s actually angry!

Lin Chen explained with a smile, "I was helping Xu Bin with something, so I happened to take care of this favor in passing. Why bother you with it again?"

Zuo Yingying hummed, "You’re really being reserved with me, huh."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "I have to maintain my independent and outstanding character so that I can have manly charm. If I come to you for help whenever I encounter a problem, wouldn’t I become someone who can only depend on others? At that point, forget liking me, we probably wouldn’t even be friends, right?"

Zuo Yingying laughed, "You just keep praising yourself. But if someone like you has the ability, I can totally tolerate them being a bit of a moocher."

"Dream on!"

Lin Chen joked around for a bit and then half-seriously, half-jokingly glossed over the topic.

Zuo Yingying was amazed, "You’re really something. You just arrived in Linhai not long ago, and you’ve already established good relationships with so many people- the Leng family, Xu Family... "

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "This is the advantage of being a good doctor. No matter how powerful your family is, as long as you are human, you will encounter birth, aging, sickness, and death and need a doctor’s help. This gives us opportunities to establish relationships."

Zuo Yingying asked curiously, "Did Xu Bin come to you for treatment?"

Lin Chen naturally wouldn’t reveal Xu Bin’s privacy and casually made up a story, "He had some problems with his body due to his cultivation, so I gave him acupuncture to adjust it."

Zuo Yingying asked, "Nothing serious, right?"

"No problem, a few sessions of acupuncture and taking some medicine will do the trick."

Lin Chen laughed and brought the topic back, "Since you offered to help with this, I owe you a favor. You can make a request of me, and as long as it’s within my ability, I’ll help you with it. How about that?"

Zuo Yingying was quite satisfied, "That’s pretty proactive of you. Alright, let’s do that."

Lin Chen tentatively asked, "How’s the relationship between the Zuo family and the Chu family?"

Zuo Yingying replied, "It’s just average. There’s no deep enmity or strong alliance involved. Why, are you thinking of going against the Chu family?"

Lin Chen asked with a smile, "How did you get your brother involved with the raw materials?"

Zuo Yingying laughed, "I just said I was helping a friend with a small favor, it wasn’t a big deal. My brother solved it with just a phone call."

Lin Chen chuckled, "Your brother really helped a lot with this. Why don’t you set up a meal with your brother sometime? I’d like to thank him."

Zuo Yingying huffed, "He doesn’t even know you, and he only helped because of me. What do you care about him for? If you want to treat someone to a meal, why not treat me?"

Lin Chen joked lightly, "I can treat you whenever! I want to expand my circle of friends, so I’ll have people to ask for help when I run into trouble."

Zuo Yingying was very smart and immediately realized Lin Chen’s insistence on inviting her brother to dinner, "Do you have something you need from my brother?"

Lin Chen admitted, "Yes, on one hand, I want to express my gratitude, and on the other hand, I have a collaboration I want to discuss with him."

Zuo Yingying asked, "Are you serious?"

"Yes, I’m serious."

Zuo Yingying readily agreed, "Okay, I’ll ask him. Are you free tonight?"

Lin Chen didn’t have any plans recently, so he replied, "Not tonight, but I’m free any other time."

"Alright, I’ll let you know when I’ve asked."

During the dinner that night, everyone didn’t talk about any collaboration. They just drank and bragged. The collaboration would have to wait until both parties had discussed it with their families and made an agreement.

...

Chu Family.

Chu Tianyu hung up the phone, his face showing a hint of heaviness.

He walked into the living room, where his father Chu Songfeng was sitting on the sofa watching TV. Chu Songfeng glanced at him and asked indifferently, "What’s the matter?"

Chu Tianyu sat down opposite Chu Songfeng, "I cut off the raw materials for Chu Jiaxue’s pharmaceutical factory, but just got a call that Zuo Lin suddenly intervened and bought all the raw materials. As I expected, he should be buying it for Chu Jiaxue and has solved her problem."

Chu Songfeng frowned, "How does Chu Jiaxue know Zuo Lin? Did Zuo Lin take a liking to Chu Jiaxue?"

Chu Tianyu shook his head, "Lately, Chu Jiaxue has been busy with the pharmaceutical factory. She probably doesn’t have time to expand her social circle. Besides, they didn’t originally belong to the same world, and it’s not easy to connect with each other. Zuo Lin isn’t someone who would be blinded by a pretty woman..."

Chu Songfeng smiled, "Since we don’t know, why not call and ask? See what they have to say and decide what to do."

Chu Tianyu nodded, "Alright!"

Chu Tianyu took out his mobile phone and called Zuo Lin. After a brief exchange, he hung up.

"He said he doesn’t know Chu Jiaxue, and it was his sister Zuo Yingying who asked him to help a friend, but he doesn’t know exactly who it was for. He also said he didn’t know the Chu family was involved. Obviously, it’s nonsense..."

Chu Songfeng laughed, "Since he doesn’t want to confront us directly, at least leave some room for maneuver. Now that the Zuo family is involved, let this matter go, and find another way to deal with it."

Chu Tianyu pondered, "It seems all the key issues still lie with Lin Chen. Without Lin Chen’s help, Chu Jiaxue is nothing. As long as we get rid of Lin Chen, cleaning up Chu Jiaxue would be a simple matter."

Chu Songfeng nodded, "I wanted to remind you earlier. Even if you ruin Chu Jiaxue’s factory, it won’t matter as long as Lin Chen is still around. This approach was wrong in the first place. Now that you understand the key point, go solve the problem. Think of a way to see how you can set up Lin Chen in a deadly trap and dispose of him once and for all!"
