Chapter 647: Chapter 647

Emon rolled his eyes at Lin Chen, "You're quite lucky. The Xia sisters' father, Xia Qingtian, is the president of the T Country Chinese Chamber of Commerce and has a very strong influence in both the Chinese community and the business sector in the whole of T Country."

As they were chatting, suddenly a figure hooked Lin Chen's arm, "Lin Chen, it's so great to see you here of all places."

Lin Chen was startled when he saw the figure, "Pan Jing, you're attending the banquet too."

At that moment, a middle-aged man behind Pan Jing came up smiling, "Mr. Lin, I didn't expect to see you at this banquet. You helped cure my father's illness last time, and I've been wanting to thank you."

Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Uncle, you're too kind. Pan Jing and I are friends; it's what I should do."

"Alright, you two chat, I'll go socialize over there," Pan Qiang said with a smile.

Lin Chen nodded, and Emon suddenly realized this guy was indeed popular with the ladies; knowing the Pan family in Man City was also very influential, he certainly was no small fry.

Emon said to Lin Chen, "You go mingle on your own, I'm going to meet some friends too."

Saying so, Emon took his wine glass and left.

Sitting at the table eating desserts, Pan Jing looked dissatisfied, "Lin Chen, I called you several times, why didn't you pick up!"

"Yeah, I've been a bit busy lately, sometimes I don't have time to check my phone," Lin Chen said with a smile.

"Then, you have to make it up to me," Pan Jing said with a smile.

"How can I make it up to you?" Lin Chen asked, puzzled.

Pan Jing leaned in close to Lin Chen and whispered, "You have to go on a date with me!"

"A date?" Lin Chen couldn't help but pause.

Just then, suddenly a cold voice rang out, "At such a high-class banquet, how did a little bar owner even sneak in?"

"Haha yes, did this guy just sneak in himself?"

"Exactly, kid, know your place and get out, everyone here belongs to the noble circle," the other rich second generations said coldly, mocking him.

Turning her head, Pan Jing's face slightly changed as she looked at the rich second generations, "Neil, what nonsense are you talking about? Lin Chen is my friend; please be respectful when you speak."

"Pan Jing, your taste in men is really poor. Instead of going after someone like Neil who has both looks and capability, you choose a loser," one of Neil's followers joked.

"That's right, I heard that Lin Chen is Emon's illegitimate son, who came back wanting to inherit his fortune, only to find that the Emon family had been wiped out, how pitiful!"

"Now it makes sense, a bereaved dog dares to compete with our Brother Neil for a girl, he's really tired of living," the rich second generations mocked Lin Chen one by one.

Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Do you guys think you're so noble? The clothes you wear, the accessories you flaunt, which hasn't been given to you by your rich daddies? You're just rich second generations living off your fathers, way too green to compete with me."

"What did you just say?" Neil said, color draining from his face.

Just then, two beautiful silhouettes approached, one of them visibly angry, "Neil, what are you doing? Lin Chen is our esteemed guest. If you keep causing trouble, I'll have the guards throw you into the sea," the person said.

Hearing Xia Qingqing's words, the group was stunned; none of them had expected Xia Qingqing to stand up for Lin Chen, even at the risk of offending them.

"Qingqing, have you been deceived? This guy is just a nobody, he doesn't even qualify to attend this banquet," Neil said with an awkward laugh.

Then Xia Ruoyu also came over, "Neil, please show some respect when you speak. If you dare to insult my friend again, watch how I will not be polite to you."

"You!" Neil was even more dumbfounded upon hearing Xia Ruoyu's words.

Xia Ruoyu, who is she? She's known as one of the two ice queens of Manchester, the other being Sophina from the Sophina family.

"What abilities does Lin Chen have to make all these beauties speak for him?"

Knowing he was at fault, Nell glared fiercely at Lin Chen before leaving with his followers.

The three beauties were gathered around a table, laughing and talking with Lin Chen.

This scene made all the rich heirs envious.

Not far off, a group of rich heirs sat together, drinking and looking for targets to charm.

In this group, everyone was clustered around a young man dressed in international designer brands.

This young man was named Curry, the son of the entertainment tycoon Cook from Country T, and he was the center of this group of rich heirs.

Curry, watching the three beauties surrounding Lin Chen, felt annoyed, thinking such treatment should be reserved for him.

He was infuriated to see that the most beautiful women in the entire hall were all gathered around Lin Chen.

"Who is that guy? Rimmer?" Curry asked.

A furious look appeared on Rimmer's face, "This kid is named Lin Chen, the illegitimate son the Emon family left in China. I don't know how he managed to hook up with Pan Jing and the Xia sisters."

Hearing Rimmer's words, a sneer appeared in Cook's eyes, "Isn't Pan Jing your woman? And you just watched her being taken away by that loser? Are you even a man?"

Cook's words elicited a chorus of jeering laughter from the surrounding crowd.

Rimmer's face turned ugly at once, but since he couldn't afford to offend the Xia sisters, he could only stew in silence, yet his eyes quickly devised a plan.

"Young Master Curry, I've heard that the Emon family and the Sophina family are supposedly engaged. Sophina will also be here later. That kid might be aiming for Sophina!"

"He dares! If he dares to compete with me, Curry, for a woman, he must have a death wish," Cook said coldly.

"Exactly, what right does that poor loser have to compete with Young Master Curry for a woman?"

"Haha, unless Sophina is blind, how could she choose that pretty boy."

The group of rich heirs immediately started flattering Curry.

At another table, Xia Qingqing sipped her juice and smiled, "Lin Chen, what made you interested in attending this party?"

Lin Chen smiled lightly, "I'm here at this party to look for Sophina, she's my fiancée."

As soon as Lin Chen finished speaking, Xia Qingqing accidentally sprayed out her juice.

Both Pan Jing and Xia Ruoyu looked at Lin Chen in astonishment.

"Lin Chen, Sophina is a very proud woman. Even the son of Country T's wealthiest man, Cook, pursued her and got nothing but cold shoulders!" Xia Qingqing said.

"So what? We have an engagement," Lin Chen said lightly.

"Engagement, now that your Emon family no longer exists, who would care about that intangible agreement?" Xia Ruoyu also sighed.

"Besides, I've heard Curry is extremely jealous. Last time a rich heir chatted with Sophina for a few minutes, that rich heir got beaten up by Curry each time he went out. You better be careful!" Pan Jing also advised.

Lin Chen smiled confidently, "Don't worry, she'll fall in love with me!"
