Chapter 173: Lin Ruoxue's Little Scheme
The clown sensed that sharp look and couldn't help but shudder.
He knew exactly where that intensity was coming from and hurriedly looked up, laughing,
"...completely forgot to bring anything, I didn't expect the resources over there to be so scarce, not even food to eat!"
It must be said, the clown's adaptability and acting skills were top-notch; feeling that sharp gaze, he instantly changed the word "kill" to "fool" and perfectly rounded off his sentence.
After speaking, both the clown and Su Chen couldn't help but sigh in relief.
However, they ultimately underestimated Lin Ruoxue's observational skills and intellect!
In fact, right when she first met him, Lin Ruoxue had noticed the clown utter a "dian," but he quickly corrected himself, so Lin Ruoxue didn't know what it was supposed to mean.
However, Lin Ruoxue silently took note of this sound, and now hearing another "sha," although the clown quickly covered it up with "foolishly foolish," Lin Ruoxue instinctively felt that he meant to say something else.
Yet at the moment, Lin Ruoxue still pretended to be oblivious, smiling cheerfully,
"No worries, eat slowly, we can order more if it's not enough."

"It's enough, it's enough!" the clown quickly waved his hand.
"Brother Clown, is your accommodation arranged?"
Today, Lin Ruoxue was truly playing the gracious host, brimming with enthusiasm. In fact, this was all because she was eager to learn about Su Chen's past.
And the clown's arrival gave her hope!
"Sister-in-law, I've already booked a hotel."
Feeling privileged by Lin Ruoxue's warmth, he hurriedly responded.
"That's good, just let me know if you need anything."
"Okay, thanks, sister-in-law."
The clown's repeated calls of "sister-in-law" were very endearing, allowing Lin Ruoxue's inner joy to feel fully appreciated.
Afterward, they exchanged phone numbers, and of course, the number the clown gave her was just a regular one, not the heavily encrypted one.
Su Chen silently observed all this, always feeling that Lin Ruoxue might be plotting something...
As Su Chen and the others were dining, suddenly, a young man walked in from outside, followed by several burly men who clearly looked like bodyguards.
The young man's walk was incredibly arrogant, causing other diners to turn and stare!
The moment the female manager saw these people come in, she quickly went up to the young man in the middle, smiling,
"Young Master Pan, welcome."
"Hmm," the young man nonchalantly nodded.
"Young Master Pan, I'm sorry but it's peak dining time and all our tables are full. Could you please wait a moment on the chairs over there?"
The female manager said uneasily, knowing that Young Master Pan was not known for his patience.
Sure enough, as soon as the manager asked him to wait, he immediately became displeased:
"What kind of lousy restaurant is this that even makes me, Young Master, wait?"
"Give you two minutes, hurry up and clear a table for me,"
said the young man, waving his hand impatiently.
"This..." the manager immediately became troubled, "Young Master Pan, other guests are still eating, it's difficult for me to ask them to leave!"
"That's your problem!"
A guest, upon seeing the young man being so unreasonable, was about to scold him when someone nearby pulled him back.
"Don't act rashly, this is the son of the richest man in the Pan family."
Hearing that this was the son of the Pan family's richest man, the guest immediately backed down.
The young man arrogantly swept his gaze over the diners in the restaurant who dared not speak their anger and sneered disdainfully.
Just then, a figure suddenly caught his eye, and a dark smile appeared on his lips as he walked straight over.
"Well, if it isn't the race car god?"
As Su Chen was eating, a sarcastic voice rang out beside him.
"Young Master Pan, do you need something? If not, don't disturb my meal with my friends."
Su Chen said indifferently without even lifting his head.
Su Chen had noticed Pan An, the arrogant young man who had walked in, as he was the same person he had encountered last night, but he hadn't expected him to come specifically to cause trouble.
However, Su Chen didn't really take him, a profligate scion, seriously and continued eating.
Pan An was always the center of attention wherever he went, surrounded by flattering people. He couldn't stand being ignored by Su Chen like this!
Just as he was about to lose his temper, he suddenly glanced to the side and abruptly realized that the woman sitting next to him was Lin Ruoxue. He immediately said,
"Oh, isn't this President Lin of Belle Corporation?"
Earlier, all his attention had been taken by Su Chen, which was why he did not notice Lin Ruoxue's presence.
Once Pan An saw Lin Ruoxue, his eyes couldn't be pulled away from her, especially since she was wearing a silver business suit that perfectly showcased her figure.
It was impossible for Pan An not to have any thoughts about Lin Ruoxue, as she was recognized as the number one beauty in Jiangnan!
However, it was merely wishful thinking, as everyone in Jiangnan knew that the eldest young master of the Liu Family was particularly fond of Lin Ruoxue!
Even though his father was called the richest man in Jiangnan, he didn't dare to act presumptuously in front of the eldest young master of the Liu Family.
But what he never expected was that the dream goddess of all men in Jiangnan would be having lunch with some minor driver, and this same driver was also his enemy!
Lin Ruoxue knew of this young master from the Pan Family's reputation, so she ignored him completely, which she might not have done if his father were present.
"Why are you still here? Waiting for me to invite you to lunch?"
Su Chen glanced at him disdainfully; the fellow was standing besides like an annoying fly.
"Lucky brat, enjoying the company of beauties. Yesterday it was Tang Yun, and today it's President Lin. You really have some skills!"
Pan An said with a darkened face, his anger rising as this guy consistently disregarded him.
As soon as Pan An finished speaking, Su Chen's heart skipped a beat as he saw two pairs of eyes staring straight at him.
Lin Ruoxue's gaze was full of cold frost, while the jester nearby looked at Su Chen with a gleeful expression.
That gaze seemed to say, "Boss, you're in trouble!"
"Get lost!"
Su Chen was infuriated and yelled at Pan An; this jerk was just ruining his relationship with Lin Ruoxue!
"You telling who to get lost?"
Pan An's face turned so dark it was nearly dripping, infuriated by Su Chen's repeated disrespect, which was intolerable.
Pan An's temper had been completely provoked by Su Chen, and without thinking twice, he swung his fist at Su Chen.
However, Su Chen just sat there, not moving at all, still casually picking up food!
"Take that, you poser!"
Pan An saw that Su Chen was not dodging and smirked coldly.
After all, he had trained in Taekwondo and even held a blue belt; he believed that his punch would definitely turn this guy into a mess!
Just when he thought his fist would smash into Su Chen's head the next second, he suddenly couldn't swing it down anymore.
Because, unknown to him, a pair of big hands had already grabbed his neck, lifting him off the ground…
