Don't forget, who is Lin Wanyu's fiancé?
Those who drill for oil in the UAE must be oil tycoons.
Those families that Lin's International Bank uses for marriage alliances must be families that are well-matched with them.
So what happens when someone like that gets tricked?
If the other person is a decent person and doesn't like arranged marriages, that's better.
It was an amicable parting, and everyone tacitly agreed to let it pass.
There was no loss.
But what if the other party isn't a good person, or their family is concerned about saving face?
What will this lead to?
Terminating the cooperation is a relatively mild outcome; if there were any shareholding issues between them, it could directly lead to heavy losses for Lin's International Bank.
What banks fear most are users with very high transaction volumes.
And the oil tycoons of the UAE are among them.
However, this was just a guess, and Bai Tianyu wasn't sure.
I'm too lazy to find out, anyway, it has nothing to do with him.
"Okay, I'll call back and ask."
"I will tell them my thoughts."
Lin Wanyu was persuaded by Bai Tianyu and returned to her room with her phone in her eyes, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Tianyu, why are you telling her this!"
"Wanyu is crying!"
After Lin Wanyu left, Hu Yifei stopped trying to hide it.
Turning around, she grabbed Bai Tianyu's mouth and said irritably.
Bai Tianyu disdainfully pulled Hu Yifei's hand away and rubbed his mouth.
"And you're supposed to be Zhanbo's older sister? Your future sister-in-law is having a falling out with her family, aren't you going to step in and help ease the tension?"
"I'm really going to meet my future father-in-law, how can I possibly make a good impression!"
"Although I'm not very close to Zhanbo, I'm still his brother-in-law, so I'll put in a good word for him."
"If they reconcile, wouldn't that be a plus for Zhanbo when he meets his father-in-law?"
Use your brain!
Bai Tianyu said with a sense of disappointment.
These words caught everyone off guard, not only Hu Yifei but also Lu Zhanbo.
"Clap clap clap clap!"
Zeng Xiaoxian couldn't help but clap his hands.
"Wow, impressive! You're already giving advice to your future brother-in-law before you're even married?"
"This is a two-birds-with-one-stone strategy! It not only eased the tension between Wanyu and her family, but also left a good impression on Zhanbo's future father-in-law!"
"It's high, really high!"
Hu Yifei and Lu Zhanbo both nodded in agreement, expressing their admiration.
But Zeng Xiaoxian changed the subject.
"But when it comes to intelligence, I, Brother Xian, am still the best!"
"........."
Zeng Xiaoxian's narcissism successfully earned him three middle fingers in contempt.
"Okay, it's time for me to go."
"Honey, I'm going on a blind date."
I glanced at my phone and realized it was almost eleven o'clock.
Bai Tianyu got up, placed Hu Yifei on the sofa, and walked outside with a smile.
"Hey, don't rush, I made some fried rice, why don't you eat it before you leave!"
Seeing that Bai Tianyu was about to leave, Hu Yifei immediately called out reluctantly.
"No need, I'm going to a blind date at a restaurant, it's not good to eat too much."
"You guys eat, bye-bye."
Zeng Xiaoxian blinked and asked in surprise.
"Isn't he your boyfriend? Did we go on another blind date?"
"Yifei, are you just going to put up with this?"
"Yeah, sis, this isn't like you at all!"
Lu Zhanbo was also very surprised that someone would so openly have a mistress.
Why isn't my older sister angry yet?
Is this really my older sister?
"There was no other way; his mother insisted that he go on a blind date."
So he went.
Zeng Xiaoxian frowned, sensing that something was wrong.
"No, this isn't right."
"Aren't you his girlfriend? Did he hide it from you?"
"What do you know? His mother is a very traditional woman. If he says he has a girlfriend..."
"I'll definitely make him call me home to see for himself; he won't believe it unless he sees it."
"But I didn't dare to go, so I could only let him go."
"It's my problem!"
Upon hearing this, Zeng Xiaoxian immediately said in a cheeky tone.
"Oh, so the ugly daughter-in-law is afraid to meet her in-laws!"

Chapter Sixteen: Bar Waitress
"Killing two birds with one stone?"
"Wrong, it's killing three birds with one stone!"
As Bai Tianyu sat in his car after leaving the Love Apartment, he thought to himself.
There was another bird, which was Lin Wanyu's bank card.
Once her bank card is unfrozen, she won't have to worry about rent anymore.
Then Lin Wanyu wouldn't sell the gift that Lu Zhanbo gave her.
Of course, Lu Zhanbo, that dim-witted guy, giving away Transformers is something else entirely.
If the other person is a Transformers enthusiast like him, then there's nothing wrong with that.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with catering to their preferences.
But Lin Wanyu's thought process is normal; she's a normal girl.
It's impossible for someone to like Transformers.
But none of this concerns Bai Tianyu anymore.
Now all he needs to do is deal with some blind dates.
After a while.
The Lamborghini stopped in front of a bar.
Bai Tianyu looked at the familiar bar decor and the location on the map that was just across the street from Love Apartment.
Lost in thought.
This seems to be the second spawn point for the characters in Love Apartment 2, and also the second spawn point for all the characters in the later sequels, right?
That's right, Bai Tianyu has arrived at Ai Er's bar.
The bar is still the one downstairs.
Compared to the cramped downstairs bar, this bar is much larger.
But that's about it. There are still quite a few people who come here, mostly to drink and chat.
This is typical of music bars, also known as quiet bars.
This wouldn't be the case in a disco or a late-night bar.
Walking into the bar and seeing the familiar decor, Bai Tianyu headed towards the bar counter.
This person on a blind date seems to be a regular at bars.
She's probably not a good girl.
What good girl would choose a bar as the location for a blind date?
Even if it's not a disco, it won't work.
Curry Sauce: Who are you talking about?
"Handsome, what would you like to order?"
Bai Tianyu had just sat down at the bar when a familiar waiter came up to her.
