Ms. Lin fell silent; she did indeed need to discuss it with that person.

Lin Le seemed to have expected this, so he said, "Don't put on an act in front of me anymore. I can support myself now, and I'm not going back."

Lin Le had long known that his parents were selfish people who didn't care about or love him much.

Afterwards, Ms. Lin left, but she left behind several bank cards, Lin Le's identification documents, and her business card, saying, "You can call me if you need anything in the future."

Ah Li looked at the year information on Ouyang Le's ID card and realized that he really was a boy.

A boy who has just turned eighteen years and eight months old.

He was kidnapped at the age of sixteen and wandered around for more than a year. When he returned at the age of eighteen, he learned that his parents had divorced.

Ah Li, however, was relieved: thank goodness, she didn't hire child laborers.

Lin Le casually shoved the bank card into Ali's hand, as if he didn't care, "You can keep it for now."

Ah Li was confused. "What do you mean?"

"Just leave it with you."

Lin Le was still holding her ID card, looking at the name on it, and whispered, "I still want to change my name."

"Changing your name is quite troublesome."

Ali glanced at the ID card in Lin Le's hand and comforted him, "Actually, Ouyang Le is quite good too, her voice is nice."

"But I don't want to be called Ouyang Le anymore."

Lin Le's tone was somewhat low.

Ah Li raised her hand and patted his head. "Alright, don't be sad. You can stay here from now on. I... no, Auntie will protect you."

The thought that she had graduated for many years, while Lin Le was only eighteen, made Ali think that she was really old.

But Lin Shuishui is quite old, yet she still wants Lin Le to fall in love with her?

Lin Le looked at Ali unhappily, "Auntie? Are you sure?"

Ahri touched her face. Actually, she wasn't that old. "Never mind. I like being called 'sister.' Being called 'auntie' makes me feel old."

Lin Le, however, stared at Ah Li's hand and reminded her, "You just touched my head."

"Yes, I know." Ah Li was still thinking about whether to ask Lin Le to stop calling her aunt and call her sister instead.

However, Lin Le said, "Then touch your face now?"

"Is it not allowed?" Ahri looked at Lin Le.

Lin Le smiled, a slight curve to her lips. "Sure, of course."

At this moment, Lin Le's smile was as bright as the sun, radiating unparalleled handsomeness that captivated everyone.

Ahri quickly looked away, "Let's go, let's go back to the shop and get busy."

Lin Le followed behind Ah Li, saying happily, "Do you like the way I smile? Don't you think I look really handsome?"

Ahri quickly denied it, "I didn't."

“Boss, you did. I saw you blush just now.” Lin Le followed closely behind Ah Li.

He also noticed that Ahri had put all the bank cards he had just given her into her pocket.

That's great.

"Boss, you've taken my card, so you have to take responsibility for my future."

Lin Le followed behind Ah Li, speaking in a low voice.

Ahri touched the bank card in her pocket. "I don't even know if there's any money in it yet. It's too early to say."

"The password is my birthday."

After listening to Lin Le's words, Ali turned her head and thought for a moment. She decided to check if there was any money in the card, so she took her people to the bank.

Watching the two figures walk further and further away, Tangtang could only call her lover, "Honey, come and help me quickly, I'm too busy here."

As soon as Lin Le came back, she called her over and said, "Ali went upstairs to talk with a woman. That woman looks a lot like you."

To everyone's surprise, as soon as she finished speaking, Lin Le dashed upstairs to the second floor.

Tangtang exclaimed, "It's great to be young, this speed is impressive!"

Ali then took Lin Le to check the money in his bank card, and then said to the boy next to her, "Don't work anymore, you can't spend all this money in your lifetime."

There's a lot of money in the card, over 300 million.

Lin Le hadn't expected Ms. Lin to give him so much money, especially since it was all from a single card.

Actually, the card contained scattered bits and pieces, some of which were Lin Le's New Year's money over the years.

After thinking for a moment, Ali returned the bank card to Lin Le, saying, "I dare not take it anymore. It's too much money; it's too hot to handle."

Lin Le simply took Ali's bag and put his card inside, saying, "I told you I'd give it to you, so here you are."

Then, carrying the Ali bag and holding Ali's hand, they left.

Ahri was still saying, "Seriously, why don't you go back to school?"

"I've been reading it all along."

Lin Le has been studying on his own and has even taken self-study exams, with pretty good results.

Ahri said that school is better because she can meet more people there.

Lin Le said he needed to think about it, but Ah Li wouldn't let him think about it any longer and forcefully made him go to school.

Lin Le had no choice but to come to the store to help out whenever he had time, both on and off school.

When I took the college entrance exam, I only considered universities in my own city; I never even thought about going to a university further away.

On the day of Tangtang's wedding, Ali, Lin Le, and the store's employees all received invitations.

Ali even prepared a pair of gold bracelets weighing about ten pounds as a wedding gift for Tangtang.

Lin Le also wanted to prepare, but Tangtang rejected her idea.

Tangtang also said, "Since you're considered part of Ali's family, you don't need to send a gift or give a monetary contribution. However, you'll have to help fend off some of the drinks later."

Lin Le was already happy because of the mention of Ah Li's family, so he agreed without thinking.
