Chapter 415: The First Night of Honeymoon is Worth a Thousand Gold (1)
Xia Shangzhou: “Have you gone senile?”
Lu Benlai: “A traitor like you has no right to say anything!”
Xia Shangzhou: “You’re the one who is a traitor! Your whole family is traitors!”
Lu Benlai: “Grandson, you sure are foolish! Why are you insulting yourself? Don’t you know that you’re part of my family too?”
“…”
It was too common a scene for Lin Jiage that he couldn’t be bothered with it. He simply coughed lightly, and the room fell back to silence.
Lu Benlai and Xia Shangzhou turned their gazes back to him.
Since they have already given in, they should at least try to get something out of it so that it wouldn’t look too bad on them… So, Lu Benlai spoke up, “Boss, is there anything we can get out of going to Mountain Changming?”
“The hell, Little Lailai! Do you have no decency? Do you think that it’s appropriate for you to expect to earn something out of helping a friend?” Xia Shangzhou berated Lu Benlai before he turned to Lin Jiage and said, “Boss, rest assured! I’m not as shameless as Little Lailai. All I ask for is ten days at Golden Resplendence!”
Lu Benlai: “Hah, as the saying goes, ‘the waves behind would always tear down on the waves in front.’ As expected of my grandson, you have truly reached the peak in the path of shamelessness.”
This time, before Xia Shangzhou could retort to what Lu Benlai said, Lin Jiage had already cut right in, saying, “Who do you think Yaoyao is? She’s Leng Nuan’s roommate. Since they are roommates, do you want to fathom a guess whether Shi Yao has her phone number or not? As long as I successfully woo Yaoyao, what she has will be mine too. Going by that logic, any phone numbers she has will be in my hands too…”
“Daddy, say no more. Putting aside a mere Mountain Changming, even if you ask me to scale a blade of mountains or descend into a sea of flames, I’ll do it without any questions!” Lu Benlai immediately changed his tune.
On the other hand, Lin Jiage turned to Xia Shangzhou and said, “As for you, who do you think I am? I am Lin Jiage, the successor to the Lin Family’s corporation. I’m about to graduate from school, and it won’t be long before I take over the family business. By then, who do you think will have the greatest say in the company? Needless to say, it’ll be me. To put it in other words, I’ll have the power to promote anyone I want and cancel anyone’s contract. Of course, if I just so intend to tie someone down to our company for life, it would also just be…”
“What a great place Mountain Changming is! I would love to fly there right here right now!” Feeling a shudder run down his spine, Xia Shangzhou immediately exclaimed with forced excitement. “I might look like I’m here in the dormitory right now, but my heart and my soul is already at Mountain Changming! Ahahaha…”
Lin Jiage leaned leisurely against the wall as he spoke calmly, “So, the two of you are agreeing to help me?”
Lu Benlai: “Of course! I have never rejected you in the first place. Boss, I have already decided to help you from the moment you opened your mouth. The one who was so reprehensible to turn you down was Old Xia!”
Xia Shangzhou: “Bullshit! You were the first one to say no, I was just going along with you. Boss, don’t listen to Little Lailai’s nonsense. You know that my love for you goes as deep as Romeo’s feelings for Juliet; even heaven would be moved by my sincerity! My determination to help you is no different from that of Lady Meng Jiang tearing down the Great Wall of China with her tears…”
What the hell is with these metaphors…
Putting aside the fact that I’m not interested in having Xia Shangzhou’s love, it really feels like he’s turning these classics into horror stories wit what he’s saying…
Lin Jiage couldn’t be bothered to go along with them, so he got straight to the point.
