"Just because of that mere 2 million?" Yang Meixi still couldn't believe it.
For a rich young lady like Yang Meixi, even though she has just come of age, she can easily come up with a few hundred thousand yuan.
Lin Chen's voice carried a hint of incomprehension and sarcasm as he looked sharply at Yang Meixi.
"Do you know that your eldest sister had already laid a trap to push your second sister's company into the abyss? However, because of your money, it came like a timely rain, pulling her back from the brink of life and death."
Now that the throne of heir is still vacant, how could your eldest sister not resent you? In fact, eliminating you would undoubtedly be of great benefit to her.
Lin Chen's words struck Yang Meixi's heart like a machine gun.
Yang Meixi's eyes gradually brightened, and she finally realized that everything was as she had imagined.
"What's more, your parents had already paved the way for you to study abroad, intending to keep you away from this turbulent family struggle and protect you from your eldest sister's clutches. But you, you just didn't appreciate their deep affection and insisted on staying in this city, choosing to study at Haizhou University. Aren't you just courting death?" Lin Chen's tone revealed a hint of helplessness and regret.
Upon hearing this, Yang Meixi gave a bitter smile. "You think I don't want to leave? But... of course I can't bear to part with Ruo..."
Her words came to an abrupt halt; she dared not mention that name again, for fear of attracting unnecessary trouble.
"Whom can't you bear to part with?" Lin Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.
Yang Meixi's heart tightened, and she naturally dared not utter Lin Ruoyue's name. Otherwise, let alone anyone else, Lin Ruoyue herself would be enough to make her suffer.
In fact, a significant portion of the money she used to help her second sister, Yang Meilin, was borrowed from Lin Ruoyue!
"Damn Yang Meinan! I'm her own sister, how could she be so heartless and ungrateful! I'm going to complain to Grandpa and let him judge!" Yang Meixi stomped her foot angrily, her heart filled with dissatisfaction and grievance.
However, she quickly came to her senses and looked sharply at Lin Chen. "Wait a minute, how do you know so much about our family's affairs? Who exactly are you?!"
...
After all that fuss, Lin Chen's stomach started rumbling; he was hungry and wanted to find something to eat.
Looking at the bustling students and parents around him, Lin Chen couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion. Today was the first day of school registration, and almost all the students were accompanied by their parents, but he was all alone, ignored by everyone.
He recalled the message Ning Jiaqi had sent him earlier, saying that the conflict with Ning Tao was still unresolved, which led to Ning Tao refusing to let her out on the first day of school, causing her to miss the opening ceremony.
"Sigh, I'm all alone and ignored; while some people have their fathers with them every day, yet they're still not satisfied." Lin Chen shook his head and sighed.
He found a small beef noodle shop near the school, and soon after he sat down, someone sat down opposite him with a "thump".
It's that persistent ghost, Yang Meixi, again!
"What are you trying to do now?" Lin Chen frowned in displeasure.
“It’s lunchtime, of course we’re here to eat, what else can we do?” Yang Meixi retorted sharply.
"Are there any other seats in this restaurant?" Lin Chen tried to persuade her to sit somewhere else.
"I just like sitting here, what's it to you?" Yang Meixi looked at him defiantly.
Lin Chen was incredibly frustrated. He had just been lamenting that no one was interested in him, and now a beautiful young lady had come knocking on his door so quickly. The problem was, this young lady was also his "brother-in-law"! It was practically the same as having nothing at all!
"Your seat is taken," Lin Chen tried to remind her again.
"Who is it?" Yang Meixi asked curiously.
"Of course she's my girlfriend," Lin Chen casually made up a lie.
"Haha, you're kidding me! Someone like you, you think you can have a girlfriend? That's hilarious!" Yang Meixi acted as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, deliberately shaking her head and laughing at Lin Chen.
"If someone like you can have a girlfriend, why can't I?" Lin Chen wasn't angry; instead, he smiled slightly and retaliated.
These words instantly froze Yang Meixi's smug expression, replacing it with anger and resentment. "You bastard, say that again!"
"Did I say something wrong? Oh, so she's not your girlfriend, she's your boyfriend? Why don't you find her and let me meet her?"
Lin Chen's words carried a hint of mockery and provocation, which made Yang Meixi even more furious.
Lin Chen's happy expression returned, but this change didn't seem to satisfy Yang Meixi. She angrily clenched her small fist and pounded it against Lin Chen's arm. After a barrage of blows, Lin Chen could only manage a wry smile.
"Who exactly told you all this?" Yang Meixi questioned, while observing Lin Chen's reaction.
But Lin Chen deliberately kept him in suspense, asking, "Why should I tell you?"
He raised his eyebrows playfully, looking completely unconcerned.
Just then, the beef noodles finally arrived. Lin Chen eagerly picked up his chopsticks and began to eat heartily. The moment the noodles entered his mouth, a satisfied expression appeared on his face. However, this only made Yang Meixi angrier, because she felt that Lin Chen was deliberately trying to provoke her, appearing so nonchalant.
"You bastard, don't think I can't do anything to you!" Yang Meixi said through gritted teeth, a flash of anger in her eyes.
Not long ago, a car accident occurred at the gate of Haizhou University. Many freshmen and seniors gathered around and witnessed the incident. As a result, someone quickly recognized Lin Chen and Yang Meixi and found the beef noodle restaurant where they were.
Soon after, two school doctors in white coats arrived at the scene, causing a small commotion inside the store. The doctors looked around, their gaze settling on Yang Meixi, and asked with concern, "Were you almost hit by a car at the entrance? Are you injured?"
Everyone cast concerned glances at Yang Meixi, but apart from her slightly dirty clothes, there were no obvious injuries. This relieved the doctor somewhat, but his doubts only deepened.
Just then, a senior student spoke up, describing the scene in detail, especially emphasizing how Lin Chen bravely stepped forward to protect Yang Meixi. After listening to her description, everyone could only marvel at how she must be from the Chinese Literature department! She described the whole incident like a perfect essay!
"I saw the car was heading straight for this student, and her boyfriend must have saved her. Doctor, let's have her boyfriend checked," the senior student said, then looked at Lin Chen, who was sitting opposite her, heartily eating beef noodles.
However, if Yang Meixi was not injured, then Lin Chen, who was eating with relish, seemed to be even less injured.
Most importantly, how did Lin Chen inexplicably become the boyfriend of this lesbian third young lady?
Lin Chen was about to explain when he saw Yang Meixi across from him. Her eyes darted around, and she immediately changed her expression, saying with great concern, "Yes, yes, my darling almost got hit by a car while saving me! Doctor, please examine him quickly!"
Upon hearing Yang Meixi speak, the doctors and nurses immediately took out various instruments and surrounded Lin Chen, as if they were going to put Lin Chen on a stretcher and carry him away!
"Hey, hey, hey, don't listen to his nonsense, I'm fine," Lin Chen hurriedly explained. "Besides, I'm not his boyfriend..."
"Please cooperate, we're doing this for your own good."
The doctors and nurses nearby must have thought Lin Chen was trying to show off in front of his girlfriend, so they immediately stopped him, preparing to forcibly give him a full-body examination.
Meanwhile, the senior student was chatting with Yang Meixi, saying that she was still envious of Yang Meixi for having such a brave and loving boyfriend!
Yang Meixi, with a nonchalant expression, said, "Actually, it's not so bad. Senior, don't be fooled by his seemingly protective attitude; he's actually making it up to me! Because his skills in that area are just too weak. He's short-lasting and small; you have no idea how uncomfortable I feel every time..."
The moment she finished speaking, the senior student burst into laughter!
