Chapter 159 The Woman's Inquiry

As soon as these words were spoken, the people around were somewhat disappointed.

They had originally thought a God of Gamblers had arrived and wanted to see him continue his winning streak,

but they didn't expect him to quit while he was ahead.

The Croupier was also secretly surprised and even felt a bit more favorability toward him:

This young man was handsome and had such self-control; it was truly rare.

She had stayed in this casino for so long,

and had seen plenty of people who made millions or tens of millions at the start,

only to become so arrogant they didn't know their own limits,

eventually not only losing everything they'd won but also ending up millions in the hole.

Someone like Lin Chen, who could control his gambling desires, was truly rare.

Lin Chen toyed with the chips in his hand.

After a moment,

he took out two chips worth five hundred thousand each and handed them to Chen Feng.

His tone remained calm,

yet it carried a force that was impossible to refuse:

“Uncle Chen, this is our first meeting, and I didn't bring a gift.”

“Since we met at the gambling table, let me give you two chips. Please don't take offense.”

Chen Feng looked at the two heavy chips before him,

then looked up into Lin Chen's unfathomable eyes.

His whole body shuddered, and he instantly snapped back to his senses.

The gambling madness from moments ago

was ruthlessly shattered at this moment, vanishing without a trace.

He remembered his behavior just now—cold, dismissive, and disdainful—

and then looked at the young man in front of him.

He felt both ashamed and guilty; those negative emotions

now all turned into burning passion and heartfelt admiration.

He instantly regained his mindset as a high-ranking official,

his mind racing:

“This young man, so quiet and unassuming,”

“gambled two million in one go and hit the mark precisely,”

“yet he isn't greedy after winning. Instead, he gives me a million in chips.”

“He's clearly pulling me out of the mire!”

“His perspective, courage, vision, and methods...”

“none of them are things I can compare to.”

“I'm afraid even those old foxes in my government office who have been around for over a decade”

“don't understand the ways of the world as well as he does.”

“I didn't expect that Qianqian would have”

“such a classmate at school. He's truly extraordinary.”

Chen Feng slowly raised his head, and the way he looked at Lin Chen

no longer held any perfunctoriness or contempt; it was full of sincerity:

“Alright, no more playing today!”

“It's just in time for a meal. Let's go eat!”

Pan Fen quickly walked to Lin Chen's side, her voice still trembling.

Her tone was full of lingering fear and gratitude as she took Lin Chen's hand,

not letting go for a long time:

“Xiao Chen... thank you, really, thank you so much.”

“If it weren't for you today, I don't know how long your Uncle Chen would have kept gambling.”

“He might have even lost the entire family fortune.”

At this moment, in the eyes of the Chen couple,

Lin Chen was no longer just an ordinary junior,

but their family's benefactor,

and a young man worth befriending deeply.

Chen Qian also walked over quickly, subconsciously leaning close to Lin Chen.

Her firm softness lightly pressed against his arm,

and her tone carried a hint of coquettishness and gratitude:

“Thank you, Lin Chen. It's a good thing you were here.”

“Dad, look at how you were at the gambling table just now.”

“You didn't look like a leader at all!”

In their home, only Chen Qian dared to say such things.

Chen Feng scratched his head and chuckled,

his face full of guilt:

“Yes, yes, yes, my fault, my fault.”

“This gambling table is truly harmful; once you sit down, it's easy to lose your mind.”

“Thinking back on it now, I'm still scared.”

“I won't play anymore. Small bets are for fun, but big bets harm the body. That saying is absolutely right.”

As he spoke, he proactively extended his right hand

and looked at Lin Chen, his eyes full of approval:

“Lin Chen, well done!”

“With my daughter having a classmate like you, I can rest easy.”

“Come on, let's go to the restaurant. It's my treat today!”

Everyone present understood the meaning behind those words.

The Chen couple did not object to Chen Qian and Lin Chen being together.

Lin Chen secretly rejoiced, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly:

“Is this the equivalent of meeting the parents and passing the test?”

“Without spending a penny, just giving away a million in chips at the casino,”

“I've won over the hearts of my future parents-in-law.”

“And I still made a net profit of nine hundred thousand. It's an absolute steal!”

“Thanks to the great system. It's been so useful since the last upgrade.”

“Not only can it scan women, but it can also scan men who pose a threat nearby. It's awesome.”

Then he had another thought:

“Since I'm already at the casino, the Ten-second prediction function still has six days left. Might as well use it!”

“This speed of making money is much faster than trading stocks!”

“However, I can't just make money at this one casino,”

“otherwise, I'll eventually be targeted by the casino, and that would be troublesome.”

“It's better to use it once or twice at each major casino,”

“make a big score, and leave. That way, I won't attract attention.”

His mind made up, the smile on Lin Chen's face deepened, though his gaze was a bit vacant.

“What are you thinking about?”

Chen Qian gently tugged at his hand and said coquettishly,

“Look at you, grinning like an idiot with that blank stare.”

“Did winning money go to your head?”

Lin Chen snapped out of it and ruffled her hair,

saying with a smile:

“It's nothing. I was just wondering what you all would like to eat.”

“Tonight's my treat. Order whatever you want, don't be polite!”

They entered the restaurant.

“Waiter, find us a seat by the window.”

“Certainly, sir. This way, please.”

The Waiter led them to a table with a very good view.

“Gentlemen, ladies. Here is the menu.”

The Waiter gave everyone a menu.

“What do you want to eat? You order.”

Chen Feng immediately replied with a smile.

“Hey, this meal is on me today.”

Lin Chen: “How can that be?”

“Uncle Chen, let me treat you this time. You can treat next time!”

Lin Chen wanted to ensure there was a next time; otherwise, how could he fully win over Chen Qian!

Chen Qian's favorability toward Lin Chen increased once again.

[Detected Chen Qian's favorability increased by 20, currently 85].

“Mm, quite good. This series of actions today has increased favorability very quickly.”

“A little more effort and it'll reach 90. Then I'll be able to...”

“Hehe...”

Lin Chen was secretly happy.

Chen Feng: “Alright, you're a good young man.”

“You know when to advance and retreat, you have a sense of propriety, and you're modest and polite!”

“I see an unlimited future for you.”

“Then we won't be polite.”

They ordered some of their favorite dishes.

Chen Qian's eyes were full of Lin Chen.

How could Pan Fen not notice this?

Since her husband had already given his tacit approval, she naturally needed to look into Lin Chen's situation.

Pan Fen: “Lin Chen, are you here for a vacation too?”

“I heard from Qianqian that you're going to Hong Kong to handle some business and register a company?”

Chen Qian said shyly, “Mom, why are you asking in such detail!”

Chen Feng listened silently.

As a man, it wasn't easy for him to ask these things.

This was the understanding between the couple.

What I can't conveniently ask, you ask.

Pan Fen: “We're just chatting over dinner!”

How could Lin Chen not know she was vetting him for her daughter?

Getting a clear picture of his situation.
