Chapter 27 Buying Gold "You can't have everything"
Chen Lin didn't want to be hugged by him, his eyes flushed, but he still reached out and took out the five hundred yuan, holding the paper envelope tightly.
"Here's the money." He lowered his eyes and handed over the money.
Her eyelashes were frizzy and her eyes were dull. Her other hand was resting on Lu Yuting's shoulder, like an unfriendly cat.
Lu Yuting was silent for a moment. Could he be here just to rob money? Chaotic and complicated emotions surged in his heart.
"That's what Lin Ye gave you. Take it."
The person in his arms glanced at him reluctantly, but was still not appeased and shook his head.
"No more." The voice was very low, like a mosquito.
Shen Lin stopped crying, he got the red envelope, it was okay without money.
This isn't home after all.
The original rental house is home.
"I--" Lu Yuting had never experienced such a feeling of being dominated by emotions. It was as if he took the time to take a look at a cat, but was completely rejected because he stepped on its tail.
The isolated emotions instantly returned to normal levels, and normal communication reactions appeared.
In a way, Shen Lin's reaction to the dialogue was not like that of an "adult", which caught him off guard.
It's just a red envelope.
Of course Lu Yuting didn't say that, he just raised his eyes and glanced at the servant's thin chin.
Don't look at him anymore.
Chen Lin wanted to get down. He didn't want to sit on Lu Yuting's arm. He didn't like himself, which meant he didn't have any good feelings towards him. In fact, he just hated him.
"Can you put me down?" The voice was still weak.
Lu Yuting was silent for a while, then asked, "Are you still crying?"
Because the tone of voice was habitually flat, Shen Lin thought that this meant she disdained him, and immediately raised his hand to wipe his face again, rubbing away the tears anxiously, with red circles around his eyes.
The corners of his lips pursed.
Lu Yuting put the man down.
Shen Lin sat on the edge of the bed, holding the red envelope in one hand and the five hundred yuan in the other. He lowered his head, just thinking blankly.
Must divorce.
Marriage is a grave, no wonder no one gets married.
What the books say about being of one mind and one body after marriage is all lies. In the end, it’s still yours and mine.
He wants his own house.
"Why do you say it's the first time you received it?" Lu Yuting asked, looking a little empty in the room.
Shen Lin didn't want to talk to him, he just kept handing over the money and kept his head down from beginning to end.
“…”
Lu Yuting grabbed the man's wrist and felt his pulse. When he found nothing was wrong, he whispered, "Speak."
He just knew that Shen Lin was not Shen Ning'an, and he didn't ask any other questions in depth.
In fact, very little is known.
Shen Lin couldn't pull his hands free and was forcibly pulled forward, with his legs resting on the edge of the bed without wearing shoes.
He could only look up at him. His eyes had just been crying, and staring at him seemed unconvincing.
"Orphan, I am an orphan. Is it strange that I have never received any response?" The voice was a little sobbing, but more of it was angry.
In fact, Shen Lin never felt inferior because of this identity. He was very optimistic and contented with his life.
I just feel envious when I see other people having happy families occasionally.
So I had such unrealistic fantasies when I was traveling through the book, but now... they have all been dispelled one by one.
Lu Yuting frowned slightly, said nothing, and just let go of Shen Lin's hand.
"?" Shen Linxin suddenly felt weak again. Was his voice too loud?
But before he could finish his bluff, his other arm was picked up and his pulse was felt again.
Shen Lin was stunned. He could read pulses? It wasn't mentioned in the book.
"Okay."
Shen Lin was a little confused, thinking what was going on?
But the next sentence.
"All the pent-up energy of half a month was released towards me."
“…”
Shen Lin swallowed, turned his head away, and slowly reached out to give the money.
There was a chuckle from above.
Lu Yuting simply half-knelt down and asked softly, "I came here just to steal your five hundred dollars."
"Isn't that right, wife?"
Shen Lin got goose bumps on his back, and couldn't help but move back with his hands, but the other party leaned forward.
A slipper was put on his feet.
"Where is the Buddhist beads I gave you?" Lu Yuting pinched the person's ankle, measured it slowly, and asked without raising his head.
Shen Lin felt uncomfortable. Why did he have to put shoes on himself? His feet unconsciously wanted to hide.
But as soon as he moved, he was pinched even tighter.
Lu Yuting looked up at him. There was a shadow in his eye sockets and no light in his pupils. Instead, he looked a bit careless.
"I, I'll give it back to you." Shen Lin's mood had calmed down a lot. He leaned over to take the beads from under the pillow and hung them on his slender hand.
He didn't realize that the atmosphere was wrong, and he reached out his hand with a serious look on his face and pursed his lips.
"Who asked you to pay it back? Shen Yunxiao?"
I guessed it right the first time.
*
When Lu Yuting came down from upstairs, he had changed his clothes and his brows and eyes looked a little gloomy.
How can it be so troublesome like a child.
The housekeeper was just about to go upstairs to deliver some fruit when he ran into them.
"Master..."
Lu Yuting walked down and said calmly, "Come here."
After about thirty minutes of delay, Shen Lin finally got to eat the fruit plate, sitting cross-legged and eating with a fork.
It was hard for the housekeeper not to notice the red marks on the wrists and ankles, and he couldn't help but feel distressed.
What's wrong with that?
Shen Lin put the string of Buddhist beads around his wrist again, and ate a piece of watermelon at a time, inexplicably feeling a sense of resentment.
Until the butler handed over a black card.
Shen Lin was stunned for a moment, “Uncle Lin, I said no.”
"It's not mine, Xiao Shen."
Shen Lin was silent for a moment, raised his hand, took it, and looked at it carefully.
A black card is a credit card that allows unlimited overdrafts and is a certificate of the cardholder's wealth and credit rating.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be used so often in novels to improve the quality of the characters.
Shen Lin forked another piece of fruit, a little puzzled, "Didn't he give me one before? Why did he give it to me again?"
This was when he first entered the Lu family. At that time, Shen Lin was still very reserved, and the housekeeper gave him a similar card as soon as he entered the door.
About the same, this one looks better?
The cards are all black.
Shen Lin was somewhat bored. What was so good about this kind of credit card? It was not opened in your own name, and it just allowed you to make unlimited purchases.
The debit card is yours.
Shen Lin just said "Oh" and then put the card under the pillow.
Then eat fruit.
He didn't want to go out shopping at all. If he bought online, Lin Jingshan had a lot of authority and the items would have to be transferred several times by people from the Lu family, which was very troublesome.
To put it nicely, this place is a private scenic area. To put it bluntly, no one would notice if he died here.
The housekeeper couldn't help but laugh when he saw the man's mediocre performance. Xiao Shen was indeed not a vain person.
Chen Lin just felt that he might have really become the mistress kept by the old domineering president in the literature. He felt a little funny and bored.
The black card is of no use, and it will be frozen if they say so.
It would be better to break it into gold.
Shen Lin was listless and didn't think about anything else. He went to bed early at night.
He just buried his face in the blanket, looking at the string of Buddhist beads that were glowing with warm light, feeling a little confused.
He curled up, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
——"Chen Lin, why do you smile at everyone? Do you know that you are annoying like this!"
——"He did it on purpose, just to attract attention. He relies on that face."
The confused dream flashed by, and little Shen Lin was squeezed into the corner, his cheeks were covered with dirt and there were scratches on his chin.
——"Are you jealous that I don't smile at you?"
The sarcastic face on the opposite side was stunned for a moment, and then became angry.
Shen Lin frowned in his sleep, his breathing became a little rapid, and his fingers suddenly retracted.
Because he was throwing punches when he was young.
After a while, Shen Lin gradually calmed down, and a victorious smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
The next morning.
Shen Lin went downstairs in a daze, paused when he reached the restaurant, and rubbed his eyes again.
The table was covered with red envelopes, scattered here and there.
The butler stood nearby with a smile on his face.
Shen Lin took a step back, feeling so embarrassed, his heart was in turmoil.
But the butler pulled him over and said to him, "The money the young master gave you was cash obtained through a channel."
Shen Lin's entire body was on fire.
What is he doing!
Shen Lin's brain twitched, thinking that it couldn't be that all of them were practice tickets? Humph.
But this situation...
Didn’t he do it on purpose? Shen Lin could only call him.
"Hello." A muffled voice sounded, with a hint of stubbornness.
After hearing this, Lu Yuting raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the figure on the screen, and asked casually, "Are you still angry?"
Shen Lin was so confused that his earlobes were burning. He asked bluntly, "You don't like me, so don't do this."
There was a pause on the other end of the line.
The housekeeper was also stunned. Should he ask directly?
Shen Lin really hated this kind of behavior, he just did it without saying anything, and no one wanted to guess.
He didn't provoke him, and he doesn't want to kill you. He just keeps me as a yo-yo.
The more I think about it, the more frustrated I feel.
"We are married."
Shen Lin wanted to argue at that time, but when he heard the other party's next words, he suddenly stopped.
“You can’t have everything.”
The tone was light, as if he was giving a reminder.
Shen Lin understood it all at once, his half-dead heart froze at once, he pursed his lips, thinking that he wouldn't let him take the initiative to divorce anyway.
It would be better to get some compensation for mental damage.
Kissed by a dog.
"Then is the money you gave me mine?" Shen Lin raised his hand and scratched his neck, leaving a series of red marks. He sat back on the chair at the dining table and asked with a gloomy look.
The other side seemed stunned.
Chen Lin lay on his arms, looking at the pile of red envelopes, and said in a muffled voice, "I don't want anything, just the money, okay?"
The housekeeper broke out in a cold sweat.
Lu Yuting stared at the person on the screen, his Adam's apple rolled, "Do you like money?"
"Yeah, I like it."
The voice was muffled and sincere.
Lu Yuting seemed to find it incredible, as if a feather had passed through his heart. How honest he was...
Good boy.
"Okay, they're all yours."
Shen Lin waited until the other party hung up the phone, stretched his body, drank milk and counted the money, he found that there was 5,000 yuan in a red envelope, and there were... more than 50 here?
So rich.
He sighed, then went upstairs carefully to get out his larger schoolbag and stuffed everything in.
The housekeeper didn't know what to do for a moment, he just supervised the people to finish their breakfast. Later, he learned that the people were going out, so he asked Lu Yuting for instructions.
——Let him go.
Shen Lin was almost growing hair on Linjing Mountain, and was ready to go out for some fresh air and enjoy the scenery from the back seat of the car.
The wind from the car window blew his hair into the air. The boy opened his mouth to let the air in. He thought it was fun, but his tongue was pulled and it hurt so much that his eyes were filled with tears.
The housekeeper still couldn't understand.
What is this bag of money for?
The first thing Shen Lin did when he landed was to go to the gold shop. There was no other way, his ID card was still at Shen's house, and it was difficult to apply for a bank card, so he bought gold first.
He doesn't want to be a love-struck victim if he can't make some money after being arranged to marry.
When getting off the car, the housekeeper couldn't help but persuade, "Do you really want to buy it? Xiao Shen, this is too... ostentatious, right? It's also quite heavy."
Shen Lin got out of the car with his schoolbag on his back, turned around, and said seriously, "It's okay."
Money is never a burden.
Uncle Lin felt very complicated for a moment. If the child likes money, let him like it.
Quite exciting.
Shen Lin thought for a moment and said, “Uncle Lin, please wait for me here. Someone might laugh at me later.”
The expression is very serious.
The housekeeper didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "That's not what I meant. You can actually pay with a card instead of cash."
Shen Lin shook his head, "It's different."
The credit card account belongs to Lu Yuting, not him. If Lu Yuting retaliates against him and involves him in a financial lawsuit in the future, he will not have enough lives to survive.
Besides, even though Lu Shen doesn’t appear now, the description in the book is extremely homophobic.
The other party will definitely make you leave the house with nothing and not get a penny.
It's no wonder Shen Lin thought so. After all, the Shen family is such a big family, but they didn't give him much.
A rich man may spend tens of thousands of dollars on a tie, but he may not be willing to give two hundred dollars to a beggar on the street.
I just feel unworthy.
Shen Lin thought that the Shen family also viewed him in this way, just as a tool, and a disposable one at that.
He waved goodbye to the butler and decided to buy the gold himself.
Lu Yuting didn't like him, so he probably kissed him out of his animal instincts, so there was no need for him to feel guilty.
Spend when you should.
Besides, red envelopes have the social nature of gifts and are safe.
Gold jewelry store——
There are all kinds of things inside, including various ornaments, which are very exquisitely made.
Shen Lin suddenly had an idea. How about buying a golden tongue stud? How cool!
But when I imagined that scene, I squinted my eyes and decided to just forget it.
A counter attendant came over and asked gently, "Sir, what style do you want? This is the main store, and we have most of the popular ones in stock."
In fact, Shen Lin had never bought any gold jewelry. When he glanced over, he saw that they were all necklaces, rings, etc., suitable for girls.
"I want gold bars." A crisp tone.
The waiter was slightly surprised. Firstly, he didn't expect the other party to want to buy it at such a young age. Secondly, the store didn't actually have enough stock. In fact, it was sold out.
But the words could not be left unsaid, the waiter said gently, "Gold bars are indeed the main choice of young people nowadays, but it may take some time for processing, because our store is made of fine products after all, in order to give customers a better experience."
Shen Lin understood, "Does that mean I can't buy it now?"
"Actually it takes time to process, about three days of expedited processing, and you can pay a deposit in advance."
Shen Lin didn't want to, and became a little depressed. He actually knew that it would be more cost-effective to buy gold bars in the bank, but there were too many procedures there, and he didn't have his ID card in his hand.
The waiter continued, "Sir, actually from a practical point of view, jewelry is more suitable. Boys can choose neutral bracelets, which look elegant. You can also buy necklaces for your girlfriend, and your family can also wear them. There are many choices."
Shen Lin: “…”
He was shot twice while lying down.
But he didn't care. He thought he might as well just buy some. Necklaces and earrings are more popular.
"Then I'll just pick some at random."
The waiter smiled and said as he took out the styles, "Sir, you are so young, and I guess you are not married yet. If you want something that is both practical and aesthetically pleasing, why not choose necklaces, earrings, and bracelets? There are different weights, and you can take a look."
Shen Lin checked the gold price in advance, made his choice, and then told the waiter that he wanted to pay in cash.
The waiter was a man who had seen the world. He immediately and kindly brought a money counting machine, and the transaction was completed within 20 minutes.
Shen Lin put the three things in his schoolbag, which he felt was very heavy, but much more convenient to carry.
But the waiter seemed to want to develop him into a long-term customer, and invited him to join as a member and draw a lottery for gifts, so Shen Lin sat on the chair for a while.
It seemed to be approaching noon, and more people came to the door. Shen Lin looked listless and leisurely looked at other styles in the glass cabinet.
There is indeed no tongue stud...
Just then, someone was talking behind me.
——Of course, Miss Chen, you can choose by yourself, which can be regarded as Shen’s apology.
——You are still so distant. It has been such a long time since I returned to China and you still haven’t come to see me. It seems that you have really forgotten me.
——How could that be?
The conversation came to an abrupt end.
Shen Lin's ears were pointed, and he thought the voice was very familiar, so he secretly glanced back, and ended up with a death stare.
“…”
Ha, I really didn’t check the almanac before going out today.
