"What else do you want?" Ye Lin asked impatiently.

“This young girl doesn’t have to pay compensation, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have to, so you have to stay,” the middle-aged man said.

"It's not like I broke it, what does it have to do with me? Someone offered to pay for it, but you refused. Why are you trying to pin it on me?" Ye Lin said disdainfully.

Middle-aged man: "..."

He didn't really want the money; he just disliked Ye Lin's attitude, especially seeing that even a young girl like Wang Gang stood up while Ye Lin backed down, showing no courage whatsoever. Ye Lin was a complete scoundrel.

"Heh, this ice sculpture was a tribute to my wife's beautiful past, and it has great significance and value. Now that it has collapsed, and you were right there, shouldn't you take responsibility for this?"

"What a joke! Why should I take responsibility? You've been demanding exorbitant prices, and now that someone has lost money, you're trying to cling to me? Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"

Ye Lin's face turned angry, as if he was about to start a fight at the slightest provocation.

His actions were so outrageous that even the onlookers, including Mu Xiaoxiao and others, couldn't stand it anymore.

Cai Jingya happily sipped her drink through the straw, while Han Zhiqing rarely showed a hint of disgust.

Luo Chen observed the middle-aged couple, and suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something.

"What, you want to fight?"

Several plainclothes bodyguards who had been following the middle-aged man stepped forward and joined the security guards in surrounding Ye Lin.

"hehe."

Ye Lin smiled dismissively, showing no sign of panic.

The middle-aged man, who was usually mild-mannered, could no longer contain himself and became somewhat angry. This Ye Lin really didn't know what was good for him.

Mu Xiaoxiao and the others have already distanced themselves from Ye Lin and are very disgusted with his character.

Wang Gang had already lost his affection for Mu Xiaoxiao and stood quietly beside her, watching her.

Several bodyguards stepped forward, and Ye Lin also displayed his imposing presence, showing no sign of backing down.

He didn't care about a bunch of ants, worthless trash that could be destroyed with a flick of the finger.

Just as tensions were running high, Luo Chen's voice rang out.

"Wait a minute."

Luo Chen walked between the two, a smile on his face.

Cai Jingya watched in shock as Luo Chen went up, not understanding why he had stepped forward.

Han Zhiqing was curious, not understanding what Luo Chen wanted to do, as were the others.

Ye Lin looked at Luo Chen with a gloomy expression, harboring deep hatred and resentment towards him.

"Young man, what brings you here?" the middle-aged man asked curiously.

Luo Chen smiled and said, "Of course I have something to do, otherwise I wouldn't have come out."

"Oh?" The middle-aged man didn't understand what Luo Chen wanted to do, but he knew that Luo Chen was here to stand up for him.

Luo Chen cursed Ye Lin as an idiot, calling him a guy with a shit-filled head.

[This doesn't make sense. He's the main character, and the Dragon King no less! Didn't he recognize this couple? His intelligence gathering is terrible.]

[If it weren't for the need to follow the plot and ensure smooth progress, I wouldn't bother with you at all.]

"Sir, you just said that this ice sculpture has meaning and value for you, recording the beauty of your wife's past. Does that mean that the beautiful woman depicted in the ice sculpture is your wife's appearance when she was young?"

"Yes," the middle-aged man admitted.

Luo Chen continued, "Actually, I know that you don't care about compensation at all, and you don't need much money. What you care about is that this beautiful memory has been shattered, and that you feel sorry for it. Am I right?"

"Haha, it seems you've noticed." The middle-aged man looked at Luo Chen curiously.

Not only was he handsome, but he was also very well-mannered, and his clothes showed that he came from an extraordinary family. Compared to Ye Lin, Luo Chen made him like him even more.

"If I say I can bring back the beautiful memories you once had, wouldn't that mean the problem is solved?"

"What!"

Luo Chen's words stunned not only the middle-aged man, but also everyone else, who seemed to have misheard.

Ye Lin's expression was even more gloomy.

"Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?" the middle-aged man asked back.

“Yes, you heard me right,” Luo Chen said.

The middle-aged man couldn't help but look at Luo Chen again, noticing his confident smile. He asked in confusion, "Young man, do you know how to carve?"

The middle-aged man's words drew everyone's attention to Luo Chen, and they all looked on with suspicion and disbelief.

This person is clearly from a wealthy family, born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and exudes the scent of money. How could someone like this be a sculptor?

Looking at his long, calloused hands, they couldn't help but shake their heads, thinking Luo Chen was joking.

"Sir, there's no point in me saying more. Please arrange for someone to prepare ice. We'll know soon enough whether it's right or not."

Luo Chen spoke with complete confidence and without any panic. The middle-aged man was also curious and wanted to see if Luo Chen could create what he wanted, just as he said.

Upon hearing that Luo Chen wanted to carve, the lobby manager immediately perked up, gave Luo Chen a friendly smile, and asked how big of an ice block Luo Chen needed.

He didn't actually believe Luo Chen could carve it, but since Luo Chen said he could, the lobby manager naturally wouldn't slack off, even if it seemed hopeless.

If Luo Chen really manages to pull it off, he might have to rely on Luo Chen to leave a good impression on the middle-aged people.

When the lobby manager heard that Luo Chen only needed to be the same height as the ice sculpture, he immediately ordered someone to fetch it, and turned to see Ye Lin's gloomy face.

The lobby manager sneered.

Mu Xiaoxiao and the others did not expect Luo Chen to be so amazing, that he could even carve. Moreover, Luo Chen's impression of him improved even more after he stepped forward.

Wang Gang was also very grateful to Luo Chen and said, "Thank you."

Luo Chen shook his head. If Ye Lin hadn't been such an idiot for not knowing who this middle-aged man was, he wouldn't have bothered with him at all.

He finally managed to secure the West District project and entrusted it to his loyal subordinate, Chen Jian, the young master of the Luo family. If something were to happen to Ye Lin, the plot would be completely ruined.

Can't we just follow the storyline properly?

Han Zhiqing sat back down in her chair. This time, her gaze was no longer fixed on the table. She simply looked at Luo Chen calmly. Seeing the smile on Luo Chen's face, Han Zhiqing couldn't help but smile back.

She knew that this person's inner self was completely different from his outward appearance.

Cai Jingya bit the straw with some displeasure, as if she had some deep-seated grudge against it.

However, no one paid attention to the two of them. When they saw a two-meter-tall block of ice being pushed over, everyone was curious about how Luo Chen would handle it.

Luo Chen took the carving knife given to him by the lobby manager, reached out and touched the large block of ice in front of him, and a surge of experience from a master carver entered his mind.

Luo Chen glanced at the middle-aged man's wife, and the scene was already in his mind. He knew exactly where to cut the ice and how deep to cut it.

Just when everyone thought Luo Chen needed to make plans, Luo Chen took action.

The carving knife in his hand was like an extension of his body, moving with lightning speed, sending ice shards flying.

Although they still didn't believe Luo Chen could carve, especially after seeing that Luo Chen started without much planning, some people couldn't help but shake their heads.

But when Luo Chen quickly carved out an outline, everyone was astonished and their mouths dropped open.

Click click click!

Ice shards continued to fly, and the temperature in the restaurant began to drop, but no one noticed anything amiss as they were all focused on watching Luo Chen's carving.

The artistic atmosphere made them realize that carving could be so beautiful.
