"We've arrived at my home!" Lu Siyao said, pointing to a three-story villa in front of her.
Lu Siyao's house was beautifully decorated and enclosed by a wall. There were fruit trees planted in the yard, including pomelo, peach, and jujube trees, and a grape trellis was also built with a wooden frame.
"Would you like to come in and have a seat?" Lu Siyao invited.
Liu Xiaoyuan had no right to go to Lu Siyao's house, so he naturally refused.
"I'll go in first then. Be careful on your way." Lu Siyao waved to Liu Xiaoyuan, looking a little reluctant to part.
"Good night!" Liu Xiaoyuan waved goodbye to Lu Siyao.
Back at the hotel, Liu Xiaoyuan saw that it was almost eight o'clock, so he was too lazy to go upstairs and sat at the front desk chatting with Yang Zihan.
However, Liu Xiaoyuan noticed that Yang Zihan seemed to have something on her mind, looking quite preoccupied.
"What's wrong, Zihan? Why do you look unhappy?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked.
Yang Zihan turned her head to look at Liu Xiaoyuan, forced a smile and said, "I'm fine, General Manager!"
After saying that, Yang Zihan turned her head away and stopped talking to Liu Xiaoyuan.
Holy crap! What happened? I was perfectly fine this afternoon!
Little did Liu Xiaoyuan know that Yang Zihan was in a bad mood because she was unhappy to see Liu Xiaoyuan and Lu Siyao together.
After work, Liu Xiaoyuan asked Yang Zihan to get in his car, but Yang Zihan, just like the first time, refused. Only after Liu Xiaoyuan's repeated requests did she finally get in.
After getting on the bus, Yang Zihan remained silent. When Liu Xiaoyuan asked her a question, Yang Zihan would either say "hmm" or "no," but nothing else.
What's the point of chatting like this? Liu Xiaoyuan simply stopped talking. After dropping Yang Zihan off at home, Liu Xiaoyuan said goodnight and drove away.
The next day at work, Liu Xiaoyuan ran into Yang Zihan. Although Yang Zihan greeted Liu Xiaoyuan, Liu Xiaoyuan could clearly sense that Yang Zihan was keeping her distance from him.
Well, Liu Xiaoyuan isn't the type to fawn over someone who doesn't reciprocate, even if that person is a beautiful woman.
"Ring ring..."
Liu Xiaoyuan was practicing Tiger Fist in his office when the landline on his desk rang. He answered and heard it was Yang Zihan who said that the old man he had treated the day before had come looking for him.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately ran downstairs and saw Lin Dayou standing in the hotel lobby, looking energetic. There were two men standing next to Lin Dayou, one of whom looked very familiar. After thinking carefully, Liu Xiaoyuan suddenly remembered who he was.
The middle-aged man standing next to Lin Dayou was actually Lin Xin, the chairman of Yuanda Group!
Lin Xin, a wealthy man, was someone Liu Xiaoyuan knew, but Lin Xin didn't know Liu Xiaoyuan. Now that he was standing right in front of Liu Xiaoyuan, Liu Xiaoyuan was incredibly excited.
Wait a minute... Lin Xin is standing next to Lin Dayou... They both have the surname Lin, could it be that Lin Dayou is Lin Xin's father?
Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoyuan was so excited that he couldn't even describe it. If that was true, then the old man he saved yesterday was the father of the chairman of Yuanda Group!
Holy crap! What a coincidence!
I saved a rich man's father. How will he thank me? Just thinking about it makes me a little excited. If he just says thank you in person, Liu Xiaoyuan will definitely hit him with a brick.
Standing behind Lin Xin was a strong man wearing sunglasses, whose aura was restrained, clearly indicating that he was a trained martial artist, perhaps even a master of the Dark Force realm.
Liu Xiaoyuan couldn't understand why these bodyguards wore sunglasses. Was it just to look cool?
Upon seeing Liu Xiaoyuan, Lin Dayou immediately rushed forward to greet him with great excitement.
After guessing Lin Dayou's identity, Liu Xiaoyuan was incredibly excited. Being greeted by the father of the chairman of Yuanda Group was such a wonderful treatment; he felt absolutely thrilled.
"Dad, slow down!" Lin Xin immediately went to help his father.
Lin Xin's calling him "Dad" undoubtedly confirmed Lin Dayou's identity as Lin Xin's father.
"My benefactor!" Lin Dayou walked to Liu Xiaoyuan's side, excitedly grabbing Liu Xiaoyuan's right hand with both of his, his hands trembling with excitement.
"Grandpa, don't get excited, it's not good for your health," Liu Xiaoyuan quickly said. It's common sense that extreme joy or sorrow is bad for one's health.
Lin Dayou still held Liu Xiaoyuan's hand tightly, and said excitedly, "My benefactor, thanks to you yesterday, otherwise this old body of mine would have gone to see the King of Hell. Also, my benefactor, you cured my long-standing ailment. I feel so young now, and my energy is much better..."
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "Old man, please don't keep calling me your benefactor. Just call me Xiao Liu or Xiao Yuan!"
"Old man, let's talk in my office!" The hotel lobby is crowded and noisy, and Lin Xin is a public figure, so it will definitely attract attention, which is something Liu Xiaoyuan doesn't want to see.
"Good, good, good!" Lin Dayou said three times in a row.
Upon arriving at the office, Lin Xin had his bodyguards wait outside while he helped Lin Dayou into the office with Liu Xiaoyuan.
After they sat down, Liu Xiaoyuan brewed a pot of tea and poured it for Lin Dayou and his son.
"Mr. Liu, thank you so much for saving my father yesterday. To express my gratitude, please accept this small token of my appreciation," Lin Xin said, handing over a bank card with both hands.
In ancient times, those usurpers who ascended the throne would pretend to decline three times before accepting the invitations from their ministers.
Although Liu Xiaoyuan wouldn't actually resign three times, he still had to put on a show.
"Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, not to mention that helping others is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. I think anyone would have stepped in to help without hesitation yesterday..." Liu Xiaoyuan said this, but in his heart he couldn't wait to accept the bank card.
Because for a wealthy person like Lin Xin, the thank-you gift he would give himself would probably be at least several hundred thousand, if not a million.
Right now, Liu Xiaoyuan's biggest problem is money; as the saying goes, even a hero can be brought down by a lack of funds. If he had money, Liu Xiaoyuan wouldn't let his parents work so hard farming anymore.
In the sweltering summer heat, facing the loess soil with their backs to the sky, their clothes were never dry all day long. For the two elderly people, such a life was indeed too tiring.
So, Liu Xiaoyuan just wanted to earn more money so his parents could live a better life. His mother would chat with the village aunties about everyday matters, while his father would play cards with his friends, boast, cook a simple dish, and have a drink…
Lin Dayou immediately interjected, "My benefactor, you must accept this. If you don't accept this small token of our gratitude, my son and I will not be at peace with ourselves!"
"Yes, Mr. Liu, we hope you will accept this small token of our father and me." Lin Xin said sincerely.
Liu Xiaoyuan then said, "Since the old man and Chairman Lin have both said so, it would be too much for me to refuse. Alright, I'll accept it, thank you!"
