Chapter 50 Lotus
This was Shi Jingyuan's first time entering the residential complex where Lin You lived.
It was an ordinary old residential community with sparse green belts, half-dead plants, and narrow distances between buildings. In short, nothing caught his eye.
Lin You walked in front, and Shi Jingyuan followed behind her holding Hu Baoer.
Ever since Shi Jingyuan appeared, Hu Baoer has been sticking to him and completely abandoning Lin You, her real master.
I happened to meet a few old men practicing Tai Chi on the road. When they saw Shi Jingyuan, they looked at him a few more times.
Even in casual clothes, Shi Jingyuan's aura was out of place in this neighborhood.
Shen Yi lives on the sixth floor.
Lin You got out of the elevator and went straight to his house, raising his hand to knock on the door.
Then, she thought again, if Shen Yi was unable to move after falling, how could he open the door for her?
Before she could figure it out, the door opened.
Shen Yi leaned on a cane and stood in front of her on one foot.
"Senior..."
Before Shen Yi's smile could even creep onto his eyelids, he saw Shi Jingyuan appear holding Hu Baoer.
His visibly smiling face froze.
"Mr. Shi?" Shen Yi still remembered Shi Jingyuan's last name. He was always impressed by people who were threatening.
Shi Jingyuan nodded. "Xiaoyou and I were having dinner. When we heard you fell, we rushed over to check on you. Is your leg okay?"
“You guys…” Shen Yi’s expression almost broke. He cleared his throat and said, “I don’t know what’s going on, but my leg feels numb and I can’t move it.”
Lin You prepared to step forward to support Shen Yi.
Shi Jingyuan stuffed Hu Baoer into his arms and said, "Let me do this strenuous work. You hold Hu Baoer."
"Meow~"
Hu Baoer seemed reluctant to leave Shi Jingyuan's arms, struggling and trying to pounce on him.
Shi Jingyuan raised his hand and pressed its head, "Stop making trouble and stay still."
Hu Baoer rubbed his palm as if he understood, and soon calmed down.
The roots of Shen Yi's teeth felt a little itchy, and a sharp light flashed in his pupils unconsciously, but quickly disappeared.
"Hu Baoer really listens to Mr. Shi." He still remembered that the cat hid away in fear before his hand even touched it last time.
Lin You sighed, "There's nothing I can do. He saved its life. In front of it, I'm not as popular as him now."
After a pause, she said, "Shall we take you to the hospital now?"
Shen Yi didn't bother to be polite with her at all, and nodded in agreement, "Then I'll trouble you, senior sister."
He was talking to Lin You, but his hand was on Shi Jingyuan's arm.
Shi Jingyuan's arms sank, and he felt as if Shen Yi had pressed down on him with the weight of his entire body, almost making him lose his balance.
He glanced at Shen Yi meaningfully.
Shen Yi pretended not to notice his gaze, and only smiled at him provocatively when Lin You wasn't paying attention.
Shi Jingyuan was stunned for a moment.
How many years has it been since he met someone who had the courage to challenge him?
This Shen Yi was actually braver than he expected.
Judging from Shen Yi's attitude, this leg injury might be his way of attracting Lin You's attention?
Interesting, this is a encounter with a male lotus.
*
Shi Jingyuan's car was parked at the entrance of the community. Although he drove a relatively low-key urban off-road vehicle today, low-key for him was still worth several million.
Lin You sat in the back seat with Shen Yi, and Shi Jingyuan completely became the driver.
On the way, Shen Yi glanced at the car's configuration calmly, then leaned over to Lin You's ear and asked:
"Senior, Mr. Shi's car is so luxurious. Is it something that an ordinary person like me can't afford even if I work hard all my life?"
His eyes were dim as he spoke, as if he had suffered a great blow.
How could Lin You have ever seen a passionate and warm-hearted young man whose enthusiasm for hard work was dampened by the material gap?
She immediately encouraged me: "Don't think like that. Each of us has our own way of life. If we work hard, we will get what we want in the future."
Shen Yi nodded and said with a gentle smile: "Senior sister, don't worry, when I get a promotion and a raise in the future, I will buy you a nice car."
Lin You blinked, unable to react, feeling that what he said sounded strange.
She was about to think in a wrong direction when he added:
"After all, Senior is the only person I know in this city, my only friend. When I become successful, of course I will think of you."
Lin You breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, so he was talking about friends, that’s good.
Shi Jingyuan suddenly slammed on the brakes, scaring Lin You into screaming.
Due to inertia, Shen Yi also leaned forward and almost hit his nose on the front seat.
Shi Jingyuan explained calmly, "The traffic light was green, and I almost couldn't stop."
Lin You was still frightened and reminded him, "Drive slowly, don't be in a hurry."
Shi Jingyuan raised his eyebrows, "Why not rush? Shen Yi's leg is still injured. If treatment is delayed, lameness, amputation, infection, and death are not impossible."
This didn't sound like a worry, but more like a curse.
Shen Yi looked up and happened to meet Shi Jingyuan in the rearview mirror.
The two men refused to give in, and both heard a sarcastic tone in the other's voice.

Twenty minutes later, the car stopped at the main entrance of Liang Hospital.
The back door opened, and Shen Yi took the initiative to reach out to Shi Jingyuan, "Mr. Shi, please help me."
Are you really using him as a crutch?
Shi Jingyuan raised his eyebrows, and when he saw Lin You looking over, he hesitated for a moment and took Shen Yi’s arm.
Lin first went into the hospital, ready to borrow a wheelchair to pick up Shen Yi.
As soon as she left, Shi Jingyuan let go of Shen Yi's arm.
Shen Yi's figure swayed, and the corner of his mouth raised, "Mr. Shi... looks familiar. Is he a member of the Shi family? The one who just took over the KSH Group?"
In Jinggang City, there is only one Shi family.
When he asked this, Shi Jingyuan was even more surprised.
Shi Jingyuan originally thought that Shen Yi didn't know his identity, so he dared to provoke him again and again.
But now, Shen Yi obviously knew who he was.
Knowing it and still daring to do it is intriguing.
Shi Jingyuan asked coldly, "Since you know who I am, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to stay in Jinggang City by provoking me?"
Shen Yi had a calm expression, seemingly completely unaffected.
He laughed and said, "Why, a big shot like Mr. Shi is afraid of losing to me and needs to use this method of suppressing his rival to win?"
Shi Jingyuan remained noncommittal. "I'm a businessman. As long as I can achieve the desired result, whether the means are honorable or not is not important to me."
What this means is that he will not give his opponent a chance to breathe just because he is too weak.
Shen Yi understood, but didn’t care at all.
"Mr. Shi, do you know why I'm not afraid of you? Because..."
His eyes were filled with gloom, and he gritted his teeth and whispered:
"Because you will never be able to defeat me. I can sacrifice everything for her, but you... can't give up the Shi family for her."
