60: Chapter 59 is Hopeless
“Ah, Xiao Yu, let’s go check out the situation first!”
Liiu Yingying sighed, pulling Huo Xiaoyu into the elevator, and said, “Your Brother Xiaotian has it tough.
His family is in dire straits, your Uncle Lin is paralyzed in bed, and Aunt Xiao Lin is single-handedly holding up the entire family!”
“And to enable your Brother Xiaotian to go to school, his younger sister, Lin Xiaoqing, even dropped out of school to return ho!
It’s tough for your Brother Xiaotian too.
Thinking about him being alone outside, he must have faced a lot of sneers and ridicule.
He might just be trying to make a good impression on you, and to fight for so respect.
You’ll need to watch what you say later!”
“If he speaks honestly later, I naturally won’t say anything that will make it awkward.”
Huo Xiaoyu showed a face full of impatience, shaking her head, “But Mom, you mustn’t protect him too much!
If he could lie to you today, he will continue to in the future.
If he could be down-to-earth, he might be able to establish so small success in Bin City, even if just becoming a company white-collar worker, that would be considered a success.
But if he keeps this up, in this city dominated by the powerful, he is bound to run into trouble!”
“Alright, Xiao Yu, Mom understands!”
Liiu Yingying held her daughter’s hand and patted the back of her hand, “Look at you, naggier than your mom!”
Second floor.
Lin Tian and Dongfang Qu Ling were waiting by the elevator.
Ding~
The elevator doors opened, and two female figures, one tall and one small, walked out.
Liiu Yingying walked in front, Lin Tian recognized her imdiately.
Today, she seed to have brought Huo Xiaoyu along to see Jiaan Tiantian’s concert while also negotiating a contract in the booth.
Therefore, Aunt Liiu dressed quite attentively and didn’t look like a woman nearing forty at all.
At that mont, Lin Tian’s gaze fell on the young girl who followed and stepped out.
In a black knee-length pleated dress, tall figure, long hair draped over her shoulders, and a delicate face that resembled Liiu Yingying by seventy to eighty percent, full of youthful vigor and stunning beauty.
Indeed, girls change so much when they grow up!
Although it was just the mory of his forr self, after fully integrating into this body, his mories of childhood were profoundly clear.
The girl in front of him used to be the little snot-nosed kid chasing behind him, and in a blink of an eye, ten years had passed and she had beco so graceful!
Seeing Lin Tian looking dazzled and infatuated, Huo Xiaoyu couldn’t help feeling slightly proud, lifting her chin.
She was extrely confident in her appearance; any boy would take a few extra looks.
However, this ti, Huo Xiaoyu felt inexplicably impatient with Lin Tian’s gaze, and her expression also showed a trace of contempt and disgust.
She thought to herself that he had indeed changed completely; a boy from the countryside just couldn’t help but stare when he saw a girl, far inferior to people like Yang Herong.
“Aunt Liiu, did the contract talks go smoothly today?
But you coming over to see Jiaan Tiantian’s concert and also negotiating a contract, that’s really cultivating elegance!”
Lin Tian withdrew his gaze, greeted Aunt Liiu, and then looked at Huo Xiaoyu again.
Although he saw impatience and contempt in the girl’s expression, he still smiled and extended his hand, “Sister Xiao Yu, after so many years, you’ve beco so beautiful.
If I saw you on the street, I wouldn’t dare recognize you!”
At Lin Tian’s complintary words, Huo Xiaoyu secretly felt pleased, but her face was ice-cold.
She briefly shook hands and said indifferently, “Brother Xiaotian, what are you doing here?”
“I ca with a friend to celebrate a birthday and incidentally watch Jiaan Tiantian’s concert.
But I just ca out from the Black Card booth, I was discussing so matters with Huang Juun, and we’ve resolved it!”
Lin Tian smiled and said, then turned to Aunt Liiu, “What about you, Aunt Liiu?
Did your negotiations go smoothly?”
“Our company has just started a new business in Bin City, and the branch office was recently established.
The cooperative project talks with Sea City Group are going smoothly for now, but there are still so other issues, so we haven’t finalized the contract.
But it’s almost done.
Watching the concert with the other party tonight, the mood is quite good!
Should be able to wrap it up smoothly!”
Aunt Liiu patiently explained to Lin Tian, then after a slight hesitation, she spoke earnestly, “Xiaotian, tell
honestly, how co you are here?”
“Ah…”
Seeing sothing unusual in Aunt Liiu’s tone, Lin Tian hesitated and said, “Aunt Liiu, I just told you, I ca to attend a friend’s birthday party and watch Jiaan Tiantian, and incidentally talked about so issues with Huang Juun, whom you may know considering he’s quite a notable figure in Bin City.”
“Alright, then tell us, what were you discussing with Huang Juun?”
At that mont, Huo Xiaoyu stared at Lin Tian, and coldly interrogated.
Hmm?
Lin Tian’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Observing the expressions of Aunt Liiu and Huo Xiaoyu and recalling the original circumstances of his forr self, and figures like Huang Juun, he suddenly realized it was a misunderstanding by Aunt Liiu and her daughter.
However, he did not explain.
Because what he said was the truth, if others didn’t believe him, any explanation would be in vain.
He then shook his head and said, “Sister Xiao Yu, just now a few friends had a conflict with Huang Juun, so it was settled in the Black Card booth.”
“Heh…
You say your friends had a conflict with Huang Juun and then you settled it?”
Huo Xiaoyu’s face was already full of mockery and disgust as she coldly said to Lin Tian, “Who is Huang Juun?
He is a powerful big shot in Bin City.
Your friends had a conflict with him and what did you use to settle it?
You can still stand here safe and sound?
Hmph, now tell , how did you settle it?”
Aunt Liiu was also frowning as she looked over, her expression clearly showing so displeasure and disappointnt.
“Huang Juun does have so power, but those thugs of his were no match at all; I defeated them all!
Naturally, he was afraid of , so he compromised in the end!”
Lin Tian thought for a mont and said so.
“You’re saying you defeated all his people, and then he was afraid of you?”
Huo Xiaoyu’s face turned completely cold as she mocked, “Lin Tian, could you make your bragging a bit more believable?
Besides, I don’t care how you lie to , but lying to my mother is a bit too much, don’t you think?
To put it harshly, you’re just a country bumpkin from a small town; would Huang Juun be afraid of you?
I think no one in Bin City would believe your words!”
Hearing this, Lin Tian’s expression slightly darkened as he coldly said, “Why do I need others to believe ?
Since you don’t believe , why bother asking?
My thods are beyond your comprehension because your vision is too narrow!”
“You…”
Huo Xiaoyu was infuriated to the extre.
Sigh~
I am no longer the Lin Tian I used to be!
How would you know the power that my path possesses?
Lin Tian sighed inwardly, offering no further explanation or defense, indifferent to Huo Xiaoyu’s anger.
Dongfang Qu Ling, who was standing beside him, was actually sowhat angry at Huo Xiaoyu, but after glancing at Lin Tian, she remained silent, not willing to overstep.
“Okay, Xiao Yu, we can talk about this later!”
Liiu Yingying hurriedly interrupted Huo Xiaoyu and said to Lin Tian, “Xiao Tian, Xiao Yu is a bit straightforward.
Aunt Liiu understands your family situation, so don’t take it too seriously.
I talked to your mother earlier, and Aunt Liiu has an apartnt near the school she wants you to move into, it’s a nicer environnt!”
Hearing this, Lin Tian was montarily stunned.
He thought they had co to question him about the Huang Juun incident, but it turned out to be about resolving his housing situation.
Lin Tian felt a warmth in his heart and gratefully looked at Liiu Yingying, “Aunt Liiu, thank you for caring so much about !
But I’m quite fine now…”
Saying this, Lin Tian had a thought and pointed to Dongfang Qu Ling beside him, “This is Sister Quu Ling, my landlord.
I helped her before, and she waived five months of my rent!”
“Aunt Liiu, hello!
My na is Dongfang Qu Ling!”
Dongfang Qu Ling also reacted by then, smiling and nodding, “Don’t worry, the apartnt I have is a two-bedroom with a living room, and it’s in a great environnt.
Lin Tian is doing quite well there!”
“That’s good to hear, I’m relieved now!”
Aunt Liiu looked at Dongfang Qu Ling in surprise and then smiled, “Thank you.
Please take good care of Xiao Tian!
There are many things in the company’s project that I need to handle personally, so I must hurry back.”
“By the way, Xiao Tian, rember to visit ho with Xiao Yu when the term starts!
Take good care of yourself while you’re out!”
As she was leaving, Aunt Liiu repeatedly reminded him, her care for Lin Tian evident in her words.
“Aunt Liiu, if the company’s project encounters difficulties and can’t proceed, you can find ; I can solve it!”
Watching Aunt Liiu enter the elevator, Lin Tian thought for a mont and then called out loudly.
However, Liiu Yingying just smiled, shook her head, and left with Huo Xiaoyu downstairs.
“He’s just a boastful egomaniac!”
Once they reached the car park under the opera house and got in the car, Huo Xiaoyu imdiately burst out, “Discussing matters with Huang Juun?
Getting Huang Juun to compromise with him?
Helping mom solve company projects?
It’s hopeless!”
