The system looked at Su Chen, who was happily eating a bag of potato chips, and had a black line on its face...
He said with mixed feelings, "You've prepared quite thoroughly."
Su Chen said smugly, "Of course!"
Do you think I'm praising you?
"What else?"
"..." Calm down, calm down, I'm a well-mannered system.
"Wait a minute... is the female lead among that group of people?" Su Chen frowned, pointing to a group of people dressed in colorful clothes surrounding a girl with a worried expression.
"Congratulations, host! You guessed right!" The system emitted the sound of a group of people clapping and applauding.
"Shut up! We're doing a mission!" Su Chen interrupted him.
"..."
Looking at his wife's ever-changing face in the rearview mirror, Mr. Chen felt very strange. Although his wife was always strange... she was even stranger today!
"Master Chen, I'm getting off to meet a friend. You can wait for me here." Su Chen decided to tell Master Chen before getting off the bus, otherwise he would definitely think she was trying to run away if she got off silently.
"Okay." Master Chen didn't say a single unnecessary word.
Su Chen nodded in satisfaction, got out of the car, and closed the door.
"Hey, system! How should I start a conversation with the female lead?"
"Beep beep beep..."
A vein bulged on Su Chen's forehead.
Fine! But when it really matters, this damn system just pretends to be mute!
The female lead, Lin Nuo, is currently very depressed.
She was utterly fed up with being flattered like this every day; in the past, she would have gladly accepted it.
However, she had experienced days when she had nothing, and the ridicule of some people and the indifference of others gradually made her realize the reality.
Right now, to the group of people in front of her, she was nothing but a pile of money. They all thought that by getting close to her, they could squeeze some gold out of her…
"You guys go sing first, I'm not feeling well today, so I won't go," Lin Nuo said with an apologetic smile.
"No!"
"Yeah! Lin Nuo! Weren't you fine when you were drinking just now?"
"Are you drunk?"
"Oh dear, Miss Lin has a high alcohol tolerance! What's with all this talk about getting drunk! Even if she does get drunk, she can just go sing some songs!" The key question is, if she doesn't go sing, who's going to pay the bill?
Lin Nuo suppressed the urge to push these people away, forced a smile, and was about to say something more...
"Hey? Nono!" Mou Chen smiled and took her arm.
A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Nuo's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
"Huh? Who's this?"
"Lin Nuo, you're not being fair! You didn't even introduce us to your friend!"
Su Chen curled her lips into a sarcastic smile: "There's no need for you to know all the people around her, is there?"
The group of people immediately got angry when they heard her speak.
"Hey? How dare you talk to me like that?"
"How could Lin Nuo have a friend like you?"
Just as the group was getting indignant, one of the more sensible people quickly tugged at their sleeves and said in a low voice, "Stop talking."
The group exchanged glances and quickly shut up.
Who is Lin Nuo? The people he knows must be incredibly wealthy, powerful, or even influential. It's best they don't offend him.
"Okay, we're relieved now that a friend is here to pick you up."
"Okay, go home and rest!"
Only then did the group of people feign a few words of "concern" before reluctantly and dawdling away.
After everyone had left, Lin Nuo pulled away from Su Chen's hand, looked up and said calmly, "Thank you for earlier."
