239: Chapter 239 Thoughtful Brother-in-Law - 2
Jiang Ye glanced at the three women in the elevator lobby again. As if suddenly remembering something, he adopted a tone of "I didn't want to get involved, but you are my brother-in-law after all" and added:
"Of course, if you're not familiar with Shengtian and can't find any fun spots... I could ask a friend for you and see if there are any... interesting Shengtians."
Lin Haoxuan heard this and almost jumped with excitement.
When going out to play these days, what's the most important thing?
Not money, but information!
With reliable channels, five hundred yuan can have the effect of three to five thousand! Not to mention he now has twenty thousand in cash!
Besides, for a big boss like his brother-in-law, could the Shengtians his friends recommend be ordinary?
They must be top-tier!
He quickly reached out and grabbed Jiang Ye, who was about to walk away: "Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! Wait!"
Jiang Ye was pulled into a stumble, frowned, and shook off his hand, sounding displeased:
"What are you doing? Pulling and tugging like this, where is the decorum!"
Yet his feet still followed him to the shadows of the corner.
Lin Haoxuan looked around like a thief, and after confirming no one was watching, lowered his voice:
"Brother-in-law! Then help me ask! Please! I'm new here and completely in the dark. I want to go out but don't know which Shengtians are reliable, safe, and have a lot of variety..."
Jiang Ye acted as if he were badgered into having no choice, frowned, and gave a "reluctant" "Oh":
"Fine... then what exactly do you want to play? Karaoke? Dance halls? Pool halls?"
At the mention of these three, Lin Haoxuan almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Looking at Jiang Ye's serious expression, as if he were truly recommending entertainment projects, he even felt a bit bad for his brother-in-law.
Just goes to show that Lin Wanxing's character is no good, right?! Look at how she's managed such a great overbearing ceo.
Rich? What's the point of being rich?
As soon as he opens his mouth, he's still living in middle school; he's not an adult at all.
He hesitated, thinking that if he talked in circles with this "innocent" brother-in-law, the other party probably wouldn't understand, so he had to be more direct:
"Brother-in-law... those are for kids... I mean... the kind... you know... for example... KTVs with 'services', some exciting bars, or... um... those... clubs! Yes, clubs and such..."
He emphasized the word "club," winking and nudging, trying to wake up his brother-in-law's "sleeping" male instincts.
"What?!"
Hearing this, Jiang Ye's face suddenly darkened, and his voice rose sharply: "Lin Haoxuan! Those kinds of Shengtians areβ"
"Oh, my dear brother-in-law! Keep it down! Keep it down!"
Lin Haoxuan was scared out of his wits. He reached out to cover Jiang Ye's mouth but didn't dare to actually do it, only hovering his hand and whispering urgently:
"I just... I just simply want to see the world! Broaden my horizons! Really! I've lived this long and never been to a high-end Shengtian like that..."
Jiang Ye pursed his lips and stared at him with an extremely disapproving look, saying nothing.
Lin Haoxuan felt uneasy under his gaze, his back sweating. He quickly continued, trying to convince this "old fogey":
"Brother-in-law! Calm down! Look, we're all adults, right... You do such big business, you must have plenty of social engagements. You... you should be able to understand this... It's just playing a part..."
Jiang Ye stared at him for several more seconds until Lin Haoxuan's scalp tingled, then he sighed helplessly, his tone full of disappointment:
"Forget it... everyone has their own ambitions. I can't hold you to my own standards. Since you insist on going... I can't stop you. Suit yourself."
"Thank you for understanding, Brother-in-law! Thank you!"
Lin Haoxuan felt as if he had been granted a general amnesty. He beamed and quickly struck while the iron was hot: "Brother-in-law! Then hurry up and ask about a Shengtian! It has to be reliable!"
Jiang Ye rubbed his brow, thought for a long time, and then spoke hesitantly:
"Before... I think I heard a business friend mention that in the Dadong District... a new club opened, called something like... 'Piaopiao Yuxian' or 'Sizu'? They said it's pretty good, quite high-end... Cough, I just happened to overhear it..."
He frowned as he spoke, as if mentioning such a Shengtian defiled his mouth.
"'Piaopiao Yuxian'? 'Sizu'? My god! Sounds awesome! A club is great! That's the one!"
Lin Haoxuan slapped his thigh excitedly: "Brother-in-law! How about... we go together? You should relax too? My treat!"
Jiang Ye immediately shot him a look of extreme "disgust" and "repulsion," as if he had heard something filthy, and refused righteously:
"What kind of person do you take me for? Nonsense! Lin Haoxuan, I'm warning you, I will never set foot in such a Shengtian!"
Looking at his stiff and serious manner, as if he wanted to distance himself from such "filth," Lin Haoxuan cursed "poser" in his heart, but still waved his hands with a smile:
"Yes, yes, yes, Brother-in-law, you are an elegant person, different from us commoners! It's my fault for speaking too much! Then... Brother-in-law, send me the specific location, I'll go by myself, I definitely won't tarnish your reputation!"
Jiang Ye "hesitated" for a while longer before nodding extremely reluctantly and saying deeply:
"Fine. Add me on WeChat, and I'll send you the address later."
Fearing he would regret it, Lin Haoxuan quickly took out his phone and swiftly scanned Jiang Ye's QR code to send a friend request.
He stared intently at the screen until he saw 'I have accepted your friend request', then he breathed a long sigh of relief, his face breaking into a grin.
Jiang Ye glanced at Lin Haoxuan, who was rubbing his hands in excitement beside him, and was about to remind him to stay "low-profile" and "not cause trouble," especially "you absolutely cannot let your sister know, I don't want to ruin my image in her heart," but before he could speak, Lin Haoxuan sneakily glanced at Sun Na and lowered his voice first:
"Brother-in-law! This matter! Heaven knows, Earth knows, you know, and I know! Don't tell anyone! Especially my mom and Nana! You can't say a word even if you're killed! In the future... I'll definitely say more good things about you in front of my sister! I'll definitely treat her well from now on! I swear!"
"..."
The words Jiang Ye was about to say were swallowed back. After a moment of silence, they turned into a long sigh full of "helplessness" and "frustration":
"Fine... you... take care of yourself."
Having said that, he no longer looked at the excited Lin Haoxuan, turned, and strode toward the elevator lobby, his back looking particularly "lonely."
