When Lu Nanchen finished hanging all the clothes, he noticed Yu Ting looking at him, a slight curve unconsciously raising at the corners of his mouth.
"Done?"
"Ah, there really wasn’t much to do." Yu Ting responded quickly. As the saying goes, if you’ve done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear. They might have endless accusations, but false claims can’t become the truth.
Besides, they have none.
"I’ve sorted out the clothes in your room."
"We’ll go out for dinner later, don’t just eat rich food at the hotel all the time, let’s have a balanced diet." Lu Nanchen’s voice came from the bathroom, he put the basin back and washed his hands.
"Okay."
Yu Ting responded, stretching her neck, and then leaned her upper body back a bit, resting one hand on the back of the chair, "So, what have you been busy with these past few days? You keep telling me to be careful. Weren’t you going to tell me in person? Tell me now, then we can go out to eat together."
Yu Ting remembered Lu Nanchen’s every word, surprisingly clearly.
Her words momentarily stunned Lu Nanchen, who was drying his hands with a towel. His usually gentle look was replaced by a more serious one as he stepped out of the bathroom and sat down next to Yu Ting.
The reason I asked you to be careful is because I had a couple of fights when I was in my first year of high school."
"At that time, they provoked me over and over, and even though I reported them to the teachers and the police on time, it did not help. They were underage, knew a lot of people, had significant influence, their parents were willing to foot the bill, so they were released after being detained for a few days."
With a serene gaze, Lu Nanchen recounted the past events.
"Later, I went into stocks, made some money, and when they came to provoke me again, I fought back."
Before this, their parents used money to resolve the issues many times. Following suit, Lu Nanchen covered up the matter after beating them by paying off the consequences.
Besides Lu Nanchen’s narrative, their hotel room was entirely silent.
The man told the story earnestly, and the woman listened closely.
...
The group, after being counter-attacked, called for others to join. They were mostly the idle rich second generation.
Then Lu Nanchen earned more money from his stocks and bet everything on another fight against them, later leveraging the resources and money of the Song Yue and Zuo Fugui families to suppress the matter.
Lu Nanchen glossed over the gore, retelling it lightly as if there was nothing severe about it.
However, this incident from eight or nine years ago truly had a profound impact on Jiangqi City. It was a struggle between the common class and the capitalist class, a cross-hierarchy food chain confrontation. The "made some money" Lu Nanchen mentioned were indeed millions or even tens of millions.
...
"Looking at the situation now, they probably still hold a grudge and are planning to seize the opportunity for revenge."
Lu Nanchen said, chuckling, "After all these years, they haven’t made much progress, and they love to play these petty tricks."
Then naturally, he took Yu Ting’s hand and sighed, "Nothing has happened yet, but I’m worried their petty tricks might affect you..."
"That’s why I’ve been reminding you to be careful."
His eyes hardened unconsciously as he finished speaking, after touching her hand a few times he changed his tone and asked softly, "Are my hands cold?"
Yu Ting, who had been listening very seriously, her face didn’t look good.
Nursing a grudge? Nursing a grudge against Lu Nanchen?
The offenders holding a grudge against the victim who fought back, they really have no shame.
Seeing Yu Ting maintaining her stern expression, Lu Nanchen said reassuringly, "But it’s okay now."
"I plan to resign and stay by your side."
