“See, our boss still loves me the most. He chose to borrow my phone instead of yours.” Xia Shangzhou turned to Lu Benlai with a proud look on his face and boasted gleefully. At the same time, he unlocked his phone and deferentially presented it to Lin Jiage.
Lin Jiage didn’t respond to his statement.
He took the phone, tapped on a number, and acted as if he was making a call, speaking seriously on the phone.
Xia Shangzhou didn’t stay by Lin Jiage’s side to wait for his call to end. Instead, he picked up his towel and headed to the bathroom, humming a melody.
The moment he closed and locked the bathroom door, Lin Jiage immediately took the phone away from his ear and tapped into Xia Shangzhou’s WeChat.
Xia Shangzhou had pinned his chat with [Yao Loves Ice Cream] at the top, and Lin Jiage tapped into it unabashedly. Following which, he saw a series of very familiar words.
In the end, the insults used by the white and chubby Big Bun had all come from Xia Shangzhou?
And as if that wasn’t enough, Xia Shangzhou even used ‘more virtuous than Xiaolongnü’ to describe him?
The heck, did Xia Shangzhou learn literature from a physical education teacher?
On top of that, Big White Chubby had even earnestly replied with a ‘Xiaolongnü was tainted by Yin Zhiping’!
…
When Xia Shangzhou walked out from the bathroom, Lin Jiage was nonchalantly watching a movie on his laptop, as if nothing had happened at all.
Xia Shangzhou ran up to Lin Jiage, pointed to his phone on the table, and asked, “Boss, can I take back my phone now?”
Lin Jiage nodded and replied with an “Mm”.
By the time Lu Benlai was done bathing and came back from the bathroom, Lin Jiage—who had been attentively watching his movie without saying a word—suddenly beckoned the duo over, “Come here for a moment…”
Lu Benlai and Xia Shangzhou immediately rushed over.
Lin Jiage pointed to the words on his computer screen, Golden Resplendence 1, and asked,
“Have you heard of it?”
Xia Shangzhou replied, “I’ve heard of it. It’s one of the best clubs in Beijing. They say that there’s only one word to describe the place, and that’s ‘money’.”
Lin Jiage clicked on his mouse, and another photo appeared. Pointing to the row of beautiful waitresses in the photo, he asked, “Are they beautiful?”
Lu Benlai: “Beautiful! I keep hearing that the beauty of the waitresses at Golden Resplendence is off the charts, and they definitely don’t disappoint!”
Lin Jiage changed the photo once more, and a luxurious spread of delicacies came into sight. “Hungry?”
Lu Benlai and Xia Shangzhou: “Yes!”
Lin Jiage changed the photo yet again. It was one of the suites at Golden Resplendence, and the sheer extravagance of it was blinding. “Would you like to experience it?”
Lu Benlai and Xia Shangzhou’s eyes were glowing. “Yes!”
This time, Lin Jiage didn’t change the photo. Instead, he reached for his wallet by the side and fished out a Golden Resplendence VIP card. “Call me Daddy.”
Without any hesitation, Lu Benlai and Xia Shangzhou cried, “Daddy!”
As if relis.h.i.+ng in their response, Lin Jiage nodded and stood up. He patted Lu Benlai’s shoulder and said, “Come, I’ll show you what heaven looks like in this mortal world!”
Lu Benlai excitedly replied “Oh, yes!” before quickly changing his clothes.
Xia Shangzhou: “Daddy, what about me?”
As if he hadn’t heard Xia Shangzhou’s words at all, Lin Jiage opened his wardrobe, took out a white hoodie, and put it on. After which, he grabbed his wallet and headed for the door.
Right when Lin Jiage and Lu Benlai were just about to walk out from the door, Xia Shangzhou pitifully asked once more, “Daddy, what about me?”
