Chapter 638 The Real Young Master of a Wealthy Family 12

"Yuxi, Yao Yuxi."

After the banquet, Lin Chen stopped Yao Yuxi who was about to leave.

"Are you okay?"

Yao Yuxi's voice was low and cold, which made Lin Chen frown immediately. "Are you angry with me? Why? Just because I asked about you and Yun Yi?"

"Lin Chen, we are just ordinary friends. Why do you care so much about my affairs? What happens between Yun Yi and me is our own business and has nothing to do with you. Why do you have the guts to question me so confidently?"

Most of the guests at the banquet had left, and there was no one else around them, so Yao Yuxi went straight to the point and asked.

Yao Yuxi's words made Lin Chen's brows furrow even more tightly, and there was a hint of complicated emotions in his eyes when he looked at her.

But it was only a flash, Yao Yuxi did not catch his emotion, nor was she interested in exploring it.

"You like Yun Yi." Lin Chen said affirmatively.

"What does it have to do with you who I like?"

Yao Yuxi already felt very embarrassed after being rejected by Yun Yi just now. Now that Lin Chen pointed it out directly, she felt even more annoyed.

Yao Yuxi stopped discussing those boring topics with Lin Chen and turned away.

It was normal for her to have a crush on a boy with good looks and temperament, but since Yun Yi clearly rejected her, there was no point for her to keep nagging about it. After all, feelings were something that could not be forced.

What's more, Yun Yi didn't keep her hanging like those scumbags, so Yao Yuxi didn't feel anything other than feeling a little embarrassed.

Instead, it was Lin Chen's tone of questioning that made her very uncomfortable. He looked as domineering as if he had caught his cheating wife.

They were clearly just ordinary friends, not even boyfriend or girlfriend or ambiguous objects. Lin Chen was completely confused.

"Xiaochen, did you have a fight with Yuxi? She doesn't look very well." Mother Lin came over and asked.

"No." Lin Chen paused and said.

Mother Lin could tell at a glance that Lin Chen was lying. After thinking for a while, she said, "Yuxi is a good child. It's normal for her to have a bit of temper since she was spoiled since she was a child. As a man, you should know how to be polite. You need to coax a girl when you chase her."

Mother Lin said this earnestly, but her words took on a different meaning in Lin Chen's ears.

In the past few months since he returned to the Lin family, he knew that although the Lin family had some assets, they were not omnipotent.

Lin Dong has always been diligent in pursuing Yao Yuxi's father.

So now they want him to pursue Yao Yuxi, what is their intention?

Did they take him back because they felt guilty for abandoning him, or because they knew that he and Yao Yuxi were classmates in high school and saw his value?

"Xiaochen, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing her son's face becoming increasingly grim, Mother Lin couldn't help but ask worriedly.

"Nothing, I'm tired, I'm going to go back and rest first."

Lin Chen said this and left directly. He didn't want to stay with this pair of parents who disgusted him.

If he hadn't used the Lin family to get closer to Yun Yi faster, he wouldn't have recognized them.

The new basketball league is about to start. As the captain, Zhou Jiheng is busy with training every day, and he has also pulled Yun Yi, a substitute player, to the court.

"Didn't you say before that you wanted to poach people? Have you found them?" Yun Yi asked after changing his clothes.

"No, they are concentrating on their studies and don't want to come to watch the team. There is nothing I can do about it." Zhou Jiheng said with some regret.

The main reason why their basketball team lacks talent is that Zhou Jiheng has high requirements. They finally meet a player with potential, but the player is unwilling to come.

There is no other way. Yun Yi, the substitute player, also has to train in case of emergency.

Yun Yi has plenty of time recently and has no other urgent things to do, so he plays ball to relax.

After training together for a few days, the game between the two universities officially started in the stadium on Monday morning.

Players from both teams came on the court, and Yun Yi saw Lin Chen among the opposing players.

Lin Chen also saw Yun Yi, and at that moment a fiery light burst out from his eyes.

Yun Yi smiled silently and sat quietly in the waiting area under Lin Chen's burning gaze.

It has to be said that the training Zhou Jiheng led with other players during this period was very effective. He scored two goals in a row right at the start to gain the upper hand.

After that, they became more and more courageous, winning the game effortlessly and advancing to the semi-finals without any need for Yun Yi as a substitute.

"Lin Chen, what's wrong with you? You were absent-minded when I asked you to pass the ball. What on earth were you thinking about?"

"There were several times when you could have made the shot, why didn't you shoot?"

"Keep looking off the field, who are you looking at?"

In the locker room, Yun Yi stood at the door and heard the continuous questioning of Lin Chen from inside.

Just when he was hesitating whether to go in, Zhou Jiheng and others had already pushed the door open.

"It's just a game, Captain Li, please don't be so angry."

"That's right. Friendship comes first and competition comes second. Don't worry too much about the ranking."

Zhou Jiheng and others said this with a smile, but to the other team members, these words sounded like Versailles show-off, and their faces, which were already ugly due to the loss, became even gloomier.

"Next time, I will make sure you lose so badly that even your own mother won't recognize you."

Captain Li snorted coldly, said some harsh words, and then left with his team members.

Zhou Jiheng and others obviously did not take his harsh words seriously. They were just trying to save face after losing the game.

In sports competitions, food is the original sin.

However, Lin Chen's condition was indeed not right. Zhou Jiheng met Lin Chen in a friendly match last month, and he played much better at that time than he does now.

It's only been over a month, how come it has deteriorated so badly?

But none of this matters anymore. What matters is that they won the preliminary round today, which is something worth celebrating.

"I'll treat you tonight, you choose the address." Zhou Jiheng waved his hand and said generously.

All the team members cheered upon hearing this.

Young people nowadays are more concerned about enjoying life in the moment. Although it is just the preliminary round, it does not count as opening champagne at halftime.

Focus on the process rather than the result. As long as you try your best, you can accept it calmly even if you don’t advance to the semi-finals.

Zhou Jiheng booked a large private room, which was big enough for more than a dozen people to eat and drink for celebration.

It was not until late at night that a dozen drunken young people prepared to go home.

Yun Yi didn't drink much and remained sober the whole time.

But after all, he was drunk, so Yun Yi called a designated driver.

"Sir, do you recognize the car behind us? It has followed us for several intersections." Seeing that Yun Yi was still sober, the designated driver asked.

Yun Yi looked through the rearview mirror and saw that the car, which was nothing special, was not conspicuous in the dark.

If you don't pay special attention, you really won't notice it.
