Yida Mall, Lin Fan hid in a deserted corner and made a call to Anna.
In three days, he would be moving into Yunding Manor. For the housewarming, he needed to arrange a simple celebration party.
And the only guest for this party was Su Jinjin from the Su Family in Yun City.
Furthermore, Lin Fan didn’t want the Su Family to know his identity just yet, so the invitation should be under "Mr. Lin".
After giving these instructions, Lin Fan returned to Su Jinjin’s side.
Su Jinjin still looked sullen.
Lin Fan comforted her, "Jinjin, don’t worry. Everything will work out eventually. How about I take you to a movie to cheer you up?"
Su Jinjin gave a bitter smile, "Thank you for trying to cheer me up, but I don’t feel very hopeful."
Lin Fan asked, "Do you trust me?"
Su Jinjin said, "Hmm..."
Lin Fan was always the person she trusted the most, and even now, he was the one she was most willing to trust.
Lin Fan smiled, "If you trust me, then drop those worries and come watch a movie with me."
Su Jinjin realized her current situation wasn’t sustainable, so she agreed with Lin Fan.
So, they stopped shopping for clothes, and Lin Fan took the two ladies to the mall’s cinema to watch a movie.
In the cinema, it was mostly couples, with a few single guys scattered around.
Seeing Lin Fan with two stunning women made the guys green with envy.
The catch was, both women were exceptionally beautiful, absolute goddesses!
The single guys’ eyes turned red with jealousy. Damn, dude, you’re killing us!
Even those with girlfriends weren’t much better off. One guy glanced at his unattractive girlfriend, and lost all interest in the movie.
Comparing people can kill you with frustration.
The girlfriend was annoyed, and snapped, "Kneel!"
The guy shuddered and actually knelt down, quickly and perfectly. He seemed quite practiced, probably did it a lot.
Seeing this, the people around burst into laughter.
The guy’s face was flushed with embarrassment. Oh, it was so humiliating, but he couldn’t help it. Girlfriends aren’t easy to come by, and look at those single guys, watching a movie alone, how pitiful.
A few other guys with girlfriends gave him sympathetic looks, silently supporting him.
A look shared a world of understanding.
It seemed like they were all in the same pitiful boat.
The girlfriend scolded him, "Are you disgusted with me? Look at yourself in the mirror, do you deserve it? Are you thinking about breaking up?"
The guy quickly apologized, "I’m sorry, I was wrong. What can I do for you to forgive me?"
These days, women are so badass, threatening breakups at the drop of a hat. Guys struggle to find girlfriends and don’t want to be single, so they just grin and bear it.
Lin Fan observed and shook his head. Being a man was tough.
This wasn’t even about looks; Lin Fan was quite handsome, but when he had no money, Zhao Xin’er still despised him.
Money is a man’s strongest weapon.
Most men, due to lack of money, even when with an unattractive girlfriend, have to tread carefully.
The girlfriend got more aggressive, "So you want me to forgive you, huh? Buy me that necklace I liked. I sent you the link last night, and you played dead all night."
The guy smiled bitterly, "That necklace is 10,000 yuan. I’ve already borrowed a lot and can’t get any more money."
The girlfriend snapped, "So you’re saying you won’t buy it?"
The guy said, "I truly can’t afford it."
The girlfriend shouted angrily, "Break up, watch the movie by yourself then!"
The guy actually didn’t chase after her; instead, he felt a sudden relief.
Finally, he didn’t have to buy that necklace or take on another 10,000 yuan debt.
Lin Fan was embarrassed; he only brought Jinjin to watch a movie to lighten her mood. He hadn’t done or said anything, yet it caused a couple to argue and break up.
Could it be that he had an undiscovered skill, a breakup expert?
Just being present made couples split up, this is...
Call me the breakup master!
The guy who just joined the single crowd quietly got up, collected his movie ticket, and walked into the theater alone, his silhouette lonely yet heroic.
Lin Fan sighed, "Bro, better a short pain than a long one. You’ve grown, and, no need to thank me..."
Lin Shanshan couldn’t help but remark, "That’s how it is for men without money. If the guy were rich, it would be the girl worshipping him."
Lin Fan looked at Su Jinjin with a smile, "Jinjin, you wouldn’t do that to me, would you?"
Su Jinjin replied, "You think I’m like her... wait! I’m not your girlfriend now!"
Su Jinjin blushed furiously. What was Lin Fan doing, making her heart race !
She’d spent over a year convincing herself she’d let him go...
Lin Fan quickly skedaddled, "I’ll go get the tickets!"
The movie was a comedy, starring a recently popular comedian named Shen Teng, and it was hilarious.
After watching the movie, Su Jinjin felt much better and forgot about her troubles for a while. She couldn’t help but thank Lin Fan; his method was indeed effective.
When they left the theater, two hours had passed.
Just outside the cinema, they saw a middle-aged man being approached by an attendant, who respectfully bowed to Su Jinjin.
Su Jinjin was surprised to see this middle-aged man, "Uncle Cai, how did you find me here?"
Uncle Cai, the steward of the Su Family Mansion, had served the Su Family for thirty years. Everyone in the Su Family knew him, and he was held in high regard.
Uncle Cai said, "The old lady issued a bounty last night to find you. Today we received a tip and learned you were here, so she sent me to invite you back."
Su Jinjin was stupefied. What tip?
She didn’t know that the tip came from Lin Fan. The invitation from "Mr. Lin" had been sent, so the Su Family was eager to find Su Jinjin.
Lin Fan allowed them to find her.
Su Jinjin said, "Uncle Cai, I won’t go back. I refuse to marry Li Jianxing, even if it kills me."
Uncle Cai said, "The Third Miss misunderstood. The old lady has already canceled your engagement to Li Jianxing. You don’t have to marry into the Li Family. The old lady said she rescinded her previous words and won’t expel you from the Su Family. This time, she sincerely wishes to invite you home."
Su Jinjin was stunned, did she hear that right? Her grandmother had always pressured her to marry Li Jianxing, how could she suddenly change her mind?
"Uncle Cai, is this a trick from Grandma to deceive me into going back? Do you think I’ll fall for it?" Su Jinjin said angrily.
Uncle Cai quickly said, "No, Third Miss. The old lady truly canceled the engagement. There’s a reason; it’s because of that Mr. Lin. He wants to invite you to Yunding Manor as a guest."
Su Jinjin was very surprised, "Yunding Manor, Mr. Lin? I don’t know him, why would he suddenly invite me as a guest?"
She knew of Mr. Lin, a mysterious super-rich man, but she had no connection to him.
Little did she know, Lin Fan was Mr. Lin, right beside her...
Lin Fan chuckled, "Jinjin makes a good point. You say this Mr. Lin invited Jinjin. Do you have proof?"
Uncle Cai said, "The proof is with the old lady."
Lin Fan said, "So keen to invite Jinjin back, but I don’t see your sincerity. Since the evidence is with the old lady, she should personally come to invite her back!"
Uncle Cai was stunned. What, have the old lady personally come to invite Su Jinjin back? That demand was too much!
