Chapter 50 Dragon Seven's Match - Part 2 (V-list) - Second Update
Lin Xingmian: [Where's my sister? Do you want to see her?]
Xu Zhiyu paused for a moment; she really couldn't muster any enthusiasm. "Maybe next time. I won't play today; I have some things to do tonight. You guys have fun."
After speaking, she left the room without waiting for a response from the person inside.
As soon as she left, Lin Xingmian followed without lingering for a moment.
After exiting the game, he suddenly slumped onto the sofa. The incandescent light from the ceiling was dazzling. Lin Xingmian shielded his eyes with one hand and let out a shallow, weary breath.
Yu Xuan, lying on the hospital bed, looked at him: "Finished? Finished so early tonight? But it's good that it finished early, you haven't had a proper rest while taking care of me here lately."
After finding Yu Xuan in the back mountain of Beiqiu last time, Lin Xingmian felt extremely guilty. Yu Xuan had a broken left leg and a ruptured brow bone. The doctor said that even if he recovered, he would have lingering health problems.
Especially around the eyebrows, it will leave a scar.
He was furious and decided to settle the score with Yan Ting, but his enemy's two older brothers had already avenged him.
The person Sun Yichuan mentioned who filed a formal complaint against Yan Ting for cheating on his exams was Qiu's elder brother. Therefore, Yan Ting would naturally have to pay Lin Xingmian double the amount, 26 million, which was much more than the 8 million he had expected.
But if this money requires trading his friend's health, how can he feel at ease accepting it?
Besides compensation, Yan Ting bullied the weak and feared the weak, beating Yu Xuan to this state. The Qiu family, who were present, naturally couldn't stand by and watch. Putting aside the question of justice, they knew Lin Xingmian, so it was only natural for them to intervene and help.
The enemy was incredibly efficient; by the next day, the scandal of Yan Ting's assault had spread throughout the business world, and news of the enemy's feud with the Yan Group also spread like wildfire in the business community.
It is common knowledge that no one in the business world with any standing wants to stand against the Qiu family. Therefore, many investors within the Yan Group withdrew their investments, fearing that people would find out that they had a past relationship with the Yan family.
Qiu's consistent approach is that those who break the law and commit crimes should go where they belong.
Yan Ting, relying on his wealth, did many unscrupulous things, and President Qiu could send him to jail with a flick of his finger.
But Lin Xingmian thought that was letting him off too easily! Beating someone up and then washing his hands of it? There's no such thing as a free lunch.
He had held a grudge against Yan Ting ever since he was beaten last time, so he spent money to hire some people to beat Yan Ting back twice as badly before Yan Ting went to jail!
He only reluctantly let the matter rest after seeing the video of Yan Ting being beaten and howling in pain.
This whole affair has been a hardship for Yu Xuan from beginning to end. It had nothing to do with him, but he ended up taking the blame for him.
Yu Xuan's second uncle hadn't dared to tell Yu Xuan's parents about his injury yet, and only made up a lie saying that he was going to play in Shanghai for a while. During this time, Lin Xingmian took care of him personally every day.
Xingmian has been troubled by this matter. Yu Xuan is such a sporty person, and this leg fracture is no small matter. It is very likely that he will never be able to run or jump again, which could be a lifelong problem!
So after Yu Xuan woke up from the surgery, Lin Xingmian discussed with him, saying that she would give him half of the 26 million she won.
He only needs to raise enough money for the necklace; the rest is of no use.
The man with his head wrapped in gauze on the hospital bed looked at his good brother's tired eyes and said nonchalantly, "Brother, this is what I'm paying for with my youth. Standing up for you was my own choice. I believe that if it were you, you would have done the same thing! This money is what you earned through hard work, and you deserve it. You've been taking care of me in the hospital for a while, so let's not be so polite with each other."
Yu Xuan's words were so moving that he was even touched by his own words. He imagined that Xing Mian must also be deeply moved!
However, Mr. Lin simply joked, "Instead of impulsively rushing over to find Mr. Sun, I would probably choose to call first, as it would be more convenient."
Yu Xuan: "..."
Lin Xingmian: "Isn't it funny? It's a joke I told."
Yu Xuan: ",".
.
For Lin Xingmian, this summer vacation was the most free summer vacation he had ever had, compared to his previous vacations in Shanghai.
Perhaps because he only went to the court every day to play basketball in order to win the game, his whereabouts were transparent, so his father did not restrict his actions too much.
He knew about the time he took care of Yu Xuan afterwards, and there was nothing to criticize. Thus, the long summer vacation passed by amidst one ups and downs after another.
If we only consider the results, his summer job went fairly smoothly, after all, he earned a total of 38 million.
Thirty-eight million.
It might not sound like much, but in reality, he's only in high school. In some families, this amount of money would take generations of hard work to achieve.
That's an astronomical sum.
It is said that one cannot earn money beyond one's understanding. This money was not obtained legitimately, so it is impossible to publicize it. However, this was undoubtedly a risky move by the young man.
In addition, the three million he had saved had been invested in Uncle Yang's ski resort project according to the contract, and it should be able to make a profit by this winter.
That's all I lost, except for about 45 days of my time and a good friend.
what else?
Oh right, I owe my enemy an enormous favor.
I just hope they can keep my secret from my father.

Mushui City, Huainan Lane.
Soon, autumn, which is Ah Yu's favorite season, will arrive.
No, Ah Yu isn't the only one who loves autumn in Huainan Lane; there are many others.
Every autumn, the old locust tree in Huainan Lane turns yellow, and then its leaves fall in abundance, carpeting the clean street with a slightly yellow hue.
Along with the narrow Xingbei Alley next door, the elegant ginkgo leaves turn golden, dyeing the entire street the color of the sunset.
In early September, all schools in Mushui City should be starting the new semester.
After the five of them finished playing the game last time, Chen Siqing came to the store to find Ayu the next day.
They each had their own reasons, listing the other's faults and suspicious points, and had a big argument about it!
However, Ms. Xu is not one to hold grudges. If they had a fight one day, she would be fine the next day. Not only could she not be angry at all, but she even felt like she could go play mahjong that night.
She opened her phone. Since their argument, it seemed that A-Qing was giving her the silent treatment, because the next day she had messaged him asking—
Morning: "Have you eaten?"
Lunch: "Have you eaten yet?"
Evening: "Have you eaten?"
None of them replied.
So she decided to call Aqing that night.
However... in the evening, Su Ying kept calling her, saying she was saving a spot for her because they were short one person for mahjong!
She completely forgot about calling Aqing, saying she was in a bad mood, but fifteen minutes later she was already sitting at the mahjong table, banging the mahjong tiles loudly: "Hey—don't move, I'll go for a Kong!"
I worked until the early hours of the morning, then went home and slept until I naturally woke up.
The next day, remembering that her boyfriend hadn't comforted her yet, she looked at the chat interface, which was exactly the same as yesterday, and asked him a different question today—
Morning: "Have you eaten yet?"
Lunch: "Have you eaten yet?"
Evening: "Have you eaten?"
Ah Qing still hasn't replied. Oh my god, it seems he's really angry this time!
Mr. Xu sat behind the cashier, deep in thought, and wrote down the following in his memo:
Call Aqing tonight!!
OK, tonight.
Fengyun Teahouse —
"Sister Suying? Huh? I'm here! I heard someone's playing mahjong today? Wow, it's been so long since I played mahjong, my fingers are itching to play!! This is so much fun, come sit down!"
The third day...
Well. .
Morning: "Aqing, have you gone to work yet?"
Evening: "Ah Qing, are you off work yet?"
After the supermarket closed, we played mahjong.
Day four.
Morning: "Ah Qing?"
In the evening, we played mahjong.
Day 5.
Morning: "Are you there?"
Day 6.
Playing mahjong.
Seven: Playing mahjong, playing mahjong, playing mahjong...
...
A week has passed, and tomorrow is the first day of school at Mushuicheng No.1 Middle School.
Xu Zhiyu, dejected, reluctantly sent a message:
I've deleted Muffin from the game; I won't play games with him anymore. Please talk to me.
My phone vibrated slightly; the other person had finally replied: "Honey, I'll pick you up for dinner after work. Love you, baby."
Aqing replied to her message.
But Xu Zhiyu was still unhappy. She leaned on the cashier counter, feeling a tightness in her chest.
I'm not happy at all, I even feel like crying.
What... is going on here?
-
*From an orange-yellow letter*
To Lin:
Xingmian, you haven't been to the supermarket for a week now?
Are you still angry with me?
Okay, okay, since that's the case, let me state upfront that this is an apology letter!
I may be a bit wordy, but you must read it to the end!
I'm going to your parent-teacher conference soon, wow, I'm so nervous!
I spent a long time putting on my makeup today and wore my favorite outfit!
Damn it, I have to dress up nicely to support Lin, who comes every day!
Ahem, sorry, I got a little excited. Now, let's get to the point—
As the owner of this place every day, I am truly grateful to you from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you for visiting this little shop every day. It is because of this that our parallel lines, which would never have intersected, have now met.
Although I'm not very ambitious and am usually quite lazy, you might not know that I have a great advantage: I remember every customer who has ever been to my shop. And a handsome guy like you, who is quite rare, I remember at a glance.
At first, I didn't know you well, and I often complained to Aunt Wang about your personality, haha. I said you weren't very talkative and weren't very polite, cough.
But actually, after spending this time with you, I've found that you're a really great and outstanding kid!
So you just like talking to people you're familiar with.
You are diligent and hardworking, possessing an unwavering willpower that is unmatched by ordinary people, and you insist on arriving early every day.
You are kind and gentle. At an age when pride is paramount, you don't care about saving face at all and help Grandma Huang pick up the cardboard she dropped.
You're brave and smart. When I was in danger late at night, you stepped forward without hesitation! Honestly, you were so cool at that moment! If I had been born a few years later, I'm afraid I would have been completely smitten with you!
Lin Xingmian, it's a pleasure to meet you!
However, there's one thing I need to criticize you for: you were indeed a bit impolite.
How can you always have such a sour face?
People might think: "Huh? Is this boy unhappy with his life?"
My dear little darling, how can you not be happy?
I've accumulated a lot of happiness, and planted the seeds in Tian Tian Lai.
I'll make you a lovely breakfast with the fruit from the happy tree—
Not all children in this world have the love of their parents, but could you reluctantly accept the supermarket owner's kindness?
If you eat the food I cook, the seeds of happiness will be planted in your body.
From now on, smile more every day and tell everyone that you are happy~
If you believe there's nothing in this world that can bring you joy...
How about you being happy for me?
Oops, I've said too much again... Wait... what I really want to say is—
