??
Lin Yi rubbed his chin after settling the plan to go to America.
âIâm such a smart boy.â
Lin Yi put his phone in his pocket, bought some fruit, and drove to the hospital.
He had just reached the entrance of the high-security ward when he heard the chattering inside before he opened the door.
The voices sounded a little familiar.
He pushed the door open and saw a few people standing inside. Apart from Wang Ran and her mother, Lin Yi only knew three people.
Inside were Wang Ranâs first aunt, first uncle, and second uncle. He didnât know who the other young couple was.
âTeacher Lin, youâre here.â
Wang Ranâs furrowed brows relaxed when she saw Lin Yi enter. She welcomed Lin Yi in with joy.
Even Wang Ranâs mother, who was lying on the bed, nodded at Lin Yi with a smile as a form of greeting.
âThereâs a lot of people here. I should have come earlier.â
âYo, Teacher Lin is here. Come in, come in.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Unlike the first time, Wang Ranâs aunt welcomed Lin Yi in with a warm smile.
âCome, son, let me introduce you.â Wang Fang pulled the young man over and said.
âThis is my Wang Ranâs teacher, Lin Yi. Your auntâs surgery fees was paid for by Teacher Lin.â
After the introductions, Wang Fang introduced her son to Lin Yi. âTeacher Lin, this is my son and Wang Ranâs cousin, Chen Yongxin.â
âCome, come, Teacher Lin, let me introduce you as well.â
Wang Ranâs uncle, Dahai, pulled the young girl over.
âTeacher, this is my daughter, Wang Tong. She just graduated from university and is in the civil service. She hasnât been in a relationship in all these years.â
Wang Tongâs face showed a hint of shyness. âDad, What are you talking about?â
âAh, whatâs there to be embarrassed about? Itâs just a simple introduction, nothing special.â
Wang Tong looked at Lin Yi shyly, feeling like her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
Wang Ranâs teacher was way too handsome!
Dahai laughed as he looked at Lin Yi. âTeacher Lin, what do you think of my daughter?â
âIs there something wrong with her?â
âTeacher Lin, what are you talking about?â Dahai was a little angry, but he didnât show it.
âDidnât you say that you have never been in a relationship? You havenât pursued her for so many years, so there must be something wrong.â
âUh...â
Dahai smiled awkwardly. âNo, no, Teacher Lin, please donât misunderstand. Itâs definitely not what you think. My daughter is very healthy.â
âSince sheâs healthy but no one has pursued her yet, then itâs a matter of her looks,â Lin Yi commented.
âSave some money for the future. Youâve raised her for so many years. If she ends up alone and broke, itâll be a huge loss.â
âYou!â
Wang Tong was about to flare up when she was stopped by Wang Dahai.
This Lin Yi was able to take out 500,000 dollars in one go. His family background must be pretty good. They couldnât fall out with him just yet. They still had to get some benefits out of him.
âSon, say hello to Teacher Lin.â
Chen Yongxin nodded indifferently and extended his hand.
âCall me if thereâs anything you canât solve in Zhonghai. I have a good big brother who is the boss of this area. He can help you with anything.â
âYo, are you serious? Is your big brother that powerful?â
Lin Yi held Chen Yongxinâs hand tightly, his expression excited.
âWhy would I lie to you about something like that?â
Even though his conditions werenât as good as Lin Yiâs, Chen Yongxin had always put on airs.
He was well-off, but he and Lin Yi were on two different paths, and his connections might not be any worse than Lin Yiâs.
âThatâs great.â Lin Yi said as he gripped Chen Yongxinâs hand tightly.
âThereâs something else thatâs giving me a headache.â Lin Yi said.
âSure, go ahead.âC hen Yongxin said with a smile:
âI can help you with most things. Even if I canât do it, I can look for my good big brother and help you settle it.â
âItâs like this. A few days ago, I borrowed 500,000 dollars from a loan shark and gave it to Wang Ran. In just a few days, the interest has increased by 100,000 dollars. Can you think of a way to help me plug the hole for 600,000 dollars?â
Chen Yongxinâs expression froze.
âYou want me to help you pay back the money?â
âYeah,â Lin Yi said. âDidnât you say that youâre capable and that you know a good big brother? Itâs just a few hundred thousand dollars. Itâs nothing to you.â
âAre you kidding me?!â
âYouâre the one who started it.â
âAlright, alright, letâs cut it out.â Wang Fang stepped out to smooth things over. Theyâd be wasting their time if they started arguing.
Lin Yi ignored the others and looked at Wang Ran. âHowâs Auntieâs condition? There shouldnât be any problems, right?â
âYeah, yeah. The doctor said the surgery was a success, but sheâll have to stay in the hospital for observation for a week. She wonât be able to do any heavy work after sheâs discharged.â
âThatâs how heart disease is. You canât get angry or tired. You have to slowly recuperate.â
âThe doctor said the same thing. Iâll pay attention to it after Iâm discharged.â
âWas the money I gave to you enough?â
âYes, yes. Thereâs still more than 200,000 dollars left,â Wang Ran said. âAfter sheâs discharged, Iâll return the rest of the money to you.â
âAiyo, Little Ran, what are you talking about?â
Wang Fang interrupted, âAfter sheâs discharged, youâll have to pay for the medicine, and youâre still in school. You donât even have a source of income, so you should at least keep some for safety.â
âBy the time my mom recovers, there will be no need for so much money. I can work part-time, and when I finish my internship in my senior year, Iâll be able to go to Teacher Linâs company. In doing so, Iâll be able to support my family.â
âHe... He has a company? !â
Wang Fang and the others were surprised. Lin Yi was just a university teacher, so how could he have a company?
Could it be a family business?
If that was the case, then he was definitely a rich second generation?
âTeacher Lin, may I ask the name of your company?â Wang Fang asked.
âThatâs a very presumptuous question.â
Wang Fang was a little embarrassed. âYouâre Wang Ranâs teacher, and I thought you were an outsider, so I asked.â
âItâs just a small company thatâs not worth mentioning.â
âHaha, doesnât a small company need a name too?â Chen Yongxin put his hands in his pockets, his expression calm.
He hadnât swallowed his anger from being toyed with by Lin Yi just now.
âThatâs not good, right? You make it sound like Iâm showing off.â
âAlthough youâre well-off, my social connections arenât bad either. Youâre thinking too much.â
âThatâs right,â Wang Tong said. âYouâre too self-satisfied.â
âTell me the name. I might even know it,â Chen Yongxin said.
âAnd my good big brother works in engineering. I might be able to introduce you to a few projects when I go back and talk to him.â
âItâs the Lingyun Group on Century Avenue. Itâs that big and only consists of two buildings. Itâs a little hard to manage.â
