Life Changing System

“I’ll pick you up at six in the evening tomorrow. Where do you want me to go?” Long Xu In asked.

“In front of the Xing Seng Business District,” Bai Chen answered without hesitation. It was the place where his house was, so it was the most convenient for him to meet there.

“In front of the Xing Seng Business District?” Long Xu In frowned suspiciously. “Don’t tell me your house is inside the business district?”

“Yes, my house is there.” He had nothing to hide from her, so he answered sincerely.

Hearing that, Long Xu In’s face showed a momentary sign of surprise. Her beautiful brown eyes blinked with incredulity.

All this time, she had thought he was the son of a rich family whose wealth had reached its second generation. Why did he live there?

‘Or is he trying to live the life of the ordinary to understand commoners?’ She could not help but wonder this.

Looking at the outfit he was wearing, the cost of it could not exceed 100 yuan, so Long Xu In thought that must be it.

The woman clearly still believed that Bai Chen was the son of a rich family whose wealth had reached its second generation.

That was because he had given her the glasses with frames made from pure gold.

It was quite a reasonable conclusion because someone from the lower or middle class definitely could not afford to have glasses custom-made from gold.

“Do you have a suit?” Long Xu In asked.

She came to a realisation that if he really was trying to live as a commoner, he would wear normal, inexpensive clothes like what he was wearing right now.

If things were like this, him having a suit would be out of the question, which was why she had to blurt this question out.

Bai Chen shook his head quickly. How could a person like him have a suit? There was no way.

One of those cost many thousands of yuan. He was still in school and his financial situation at home was modest. How could he afford to buy one?

“I don’t.”

“I’ll take you out shopping then.” Long Xu In felt really smart that she had asked that question. Otherwise, he would definitely have worn a normal outfit to join her at the party tomorrow.

“But I don’t have money,” Bai Chen quickly said when he heard that she was going to go suit shopping with him.

Long Xu In did not even frown. She thought he was really resilient in trying to live as a commoner.

“Don’t worry. I’ll buy one for you. Let’s go now. I’m free.”

“We’re going now?”

“Yes.” Long Xu In nodded. “I’m free all day today. I’m gonna take you out shopping. All right, let’s get going.”

After that, Bai Chen was dragged away by Long Xu In. She took him to her BMW and drove to Xing Yuan Department Store.

..................................................

Inside a luxurious house, three people were inside a vast living room decorated extravagantly and with great care.

The first person was a middle-aged man. The second was a middle-aged woman. And the last was an 18-year-old girl.

The faces of these three people were tense. They were sitting face-to-face on an expensive white luxury sofa. The middle-aged man and woman were seated on the same side.

“How could you do this? I’ve never once told you that I want to get married!” the 18-year-old girl said fiercely. She was none other than Li Lin.

“Little Lin, why are you behaving like this? We have already decided this. Your fiancé is Xi Dong from the Xi family. He’s a young entrepreneur, who has just graduated from the US and has now taken on a management role. It’s only been half a year and the Xi family’s companies are growing exponentially.”

The middle-aged man said this. His name was Li Cong Tian, a self-made entrepreneur and the founder of the Li Group. He was the richest man in Xing Zhou City right now. No one else could compete with him.

“Little Lin, I’ve met Xi Dong before. He’s very polite and kind, not to mention very handsome as well. This man has it all, from wealth, family background, personality, and manners. He’s good enough to be the Li family’s son-in-law. Most importantly, he’s the most suitable for you.”

The middle-aged woman who was sitting next to Li Cong Tian spoke up. She was Li Lin’s mother and the businessman’s wife. What she said clearly communicated her contentment with Xi Dong.

She undoubtedly wanted him to marry Li Lin, her daughter.

Li Lin’s face turned red with anger. She had never dreamt that her parents would matchmake her with a total stranger like this.

“I’m not getting engaged!” she shouted.

“No!” Li Cong Tian felt that he had to be firm with her. “You have to! I and your mum have always given you whatever you want. If you don’t get engaged to this man now, then don’t even call us mum and dad again!”

Tears streamed down Li Lin’s face. She felt extreme pain in her chest when she heard what her father said as if she had been struck by lightning.

She had never thought that her father would say this to her, just to force her to get engaged to and marry Xi Dong—a total stranger.

“So be it. From this day onward, the two of you are not my parents anymore!” Li Lin shouted, in tears.

She had her own stubbornness. Li Lin would never let anyone determine who she was going to marry, not even her parents.

After saying that, she wiped tears off her face and ran out of the living room.

Li Cong Tian and his wife could only sit there in shock. They had never dreamt that their daughter would say something like this.

“Cong Tian…” Li Lin’s mum wanted to say something.

“Don’t. Just let her go. She’ll calm down eventually.” Li Cong Tian took a deep breath and said this. He anticipated that Li Lin would accept this after a while.

It was such a shame that his evaluation of his daughter was wrong. A man in a butler’s uniform entered the living room with a panicked expression on his face.

“M… Master! Miss… Miss Li has left home. She said she would run away from home and never return again!”
