Chapter 778: Chapter 778 My Hand is a Bit Itchy
Zhaonan courteously said, “Sir Shang, you jest. My skills are limited and can’t be improved overnight; I might have to disappoint you.”
“Come on, we’re here to have fun, don’t be so modest.” Shang Hui beckoned the people beside him, “Everybody, why don’t we switch partners and race again? It’s rare that we’re all free. How can we not enjoy it to the fullest!”
As soon as Shang Hui made the suggestion, everyone laughed and agreed enthusiastically.
Lin Gantang glanced at Shang You, who was leaning against a sports car watching, and noticed that Song Jinwen said something to him. Then Shang You looked at Lin Zhaonan without stopping his brother.
Shang Hui’s intentions were clear, as he occasionally glanced over at Lin Gantang.
Lin Zhaonan had nodded in agreement to join the game, hoping to use the fun to bridge a closer cooperative relationship with the others. But he couldn’t stand it when others had designs on his sister.
The polite smile on Lin Zhaonan’s face gradually disappeared, “My sister is the treasure of our family, not something to be exchanged for your fun. Continue without me, I won’t join.”
Lin Zhaonan grabbed Lin Gantang’s arm and headed towards the car, ready to leave. Seeing that he was not giving face, Shang Hui said displeasedly, “It seems that President Lin is not interested in cooperation. If you can’t handle a game, why bother showing up?”
Lin Zhaonan’s face turned cold.
“Shang Hui, you’ve gone too far this time.” It was then that Shang You stepped in. He sauntered up to Lin Zhaonan, “My apologies, President Lin. Shang Hui loves to have fun too much and has upset you.”
Lin Gantang had heard similar words before, and she scrutinized both Shang You and Shang Hui, feeling that they were deliberately collaborating: good cop, bad cop.
She didn’t believe that Shang You would keep someone around who only knew how to cause trouble.
Lin Zhaonan did not accept his apology, “If you also think he’s in the wrong, then why isn’t Shang Hui the one apologizing?”
“Apologize? Fine, if you can beat me, I’ll apologize to you.” Remembering Lin Zhaonan’s speed in racing, Shang Hui sneered, “The esteemed heir of the Lin Corporation, afraid of losing? If word gets out, it’ll be a laughingstock.”
Lin Gantang bit back her irritation, but finally couldn’t help herself, “Brother, my hands are itching.”
Lin Zhaonan had intended to figure out how to take Shang Hui down a peg. Hearing Lin Gantang’s words, he replied with a twitch of the eye, “You’re not allowed to hit anyone.”
“I’m not hitting anyone.” Lin Gantang stepped forward and sneered lowly at the deliberately difficult Shang Hui, “Did you want to race again?”
“That’s right.” Seeing her step up, Shang Hui laughed, “Miss Lin has such delicate skin. Why not consider changing your partner? Either my brother or I can drive steadier and faster than yours.”
“Since we’re racing, we should set a reward for first place, right? Sir Shang, what would you want if you win?” asked Lin Gantang.
Shang Hui stroked his chin, his eyes narrowing, “I want you to be my companion for a day. How about that?”
“And if we win?”
“Gantang!” Lin Zhaonan scolded her.
But it was Shang You who clapped his hands at that moment, “Miss Lin, such courage. Let’s make it a big play: if you win, Shang Corporation will concede another two percent profit to Lin Corporation. What do you think?”
“It seems like you gain no advantage from this condition,” Lin Gantang scrutinized him.
“We’re just looking for some fun. Do you dare to play, Miss?”
“Why wouldn’t I dare,” Lin Gantang agreed.
Lin Zhaonan’s face grew stern, “Gantang, leave the business matters to me,” he said, fearing Lin Gantang would be at a disadvantage.
“Great! Miss Lin, you’ve got guts!” Shang Hui, not giving the other side a chance to back out, laughed with determination, “Since Miss Lin has agreed, let’s have another round!”
Lin Gantang forcibly pushed Lin Zhaonan into the passenger seat.
Shang Hui, watching as Lin Gantang took her place behind the wheel, looked astonished.
“What’s wrong? Did I agree that this round would be my brother’s turn?” Lin Gantang sneered coldly.
