Chapter 593: Chapter 0595: Let’s Understand
Liu Yue thanked everyone for a good while before returning to her seat.
She looked at Chu Ge with a smile on her face and quietly nudged Lin Dong with her elbow, whispering, “It’s really such a coincidence, we were actually able to et our benefactor here.”
Lin Dong nodded. Honestly, he never expected to run into Chu Ge here.
Liu Yue curiously asked Chu Ge, “Mr. Chu, are you heading to Beijing?”
Chu Ge humd an affirmation, “I’ve got so business to handle in Beijing.”
“That’s great, then. Lin Dong can show you around Beijing, he knows every street and alley there like the back of his hand.”
Liu Yue was particularly excited to see Chu Ge, and she slapped Lin Dong on the shoulder so hard that he hissed in pain.
He rubbed his shoulder and gave Liu Yue a complaining look, “Sister Liu Yue, be gentle, you’re about to break my shoulder!”
Liu Yue chuckled sheepishly, glancing at Lin Dong—can’t he give her so face in front of Chu Ge?
The siblings bantered back and forth, making for a lively scene that Chu Ge seed to enjoy watching.
After a while, they stopped.
Liu Yue let out a sigh, saying in a sowhat dreamy tone, “It’s not a solution to always be like this. Wouldn’t it be great if we could get to know soone from the upper-class society?”
Lin Dong shook his head slightly. What difference would it make even if they knew soone from the upper-class society?
Shao Gang was simply abusing the power of the Nangong Family to do whatever he pleased, but who in Beijing could compete with the Nangong Family?
The other Five Great Families? Forget it, they each mind their own business and never interfere with one another, the lines are clearly drawn.
Lin Dong sighed. Talking about this issue felt harder than reaching Heaven.
Liu Yue was no stranger to this thought, but what other options did they have now?
Liu Yue felt a mont of sorrow, then suddenly raised her eyes, her gaze landing on Chu Ge.
Abruptly, a flash of insight crossed her mind—didn’t she vaguely rember that during the Public Sea Banquet Chu Ge was with Miss Man Sha?
Liu Yue raised her hand, nudging Lin Dong with her elbow, “Hey! Hey!”
“What’s up?” Lin Dong looked up at her, puzzled.
Liu Yue motioned with her chin toward Lin Dong, “Doesn’t Mr. Chu know Miss Man Sha?”
Lin Dong chuckled, “I know Miss Man Sha? But does she know who I am?”
Lin Dong had apparently forgotten the fact that Chu Ge and Nangong Man Sha were together at the Public Sea Banquet. He only thought that Nangong Man Sha was from Beijing and Chu Ge was from Shanghai; one from the North, one from the South—how could they possibly be connected.
Chu Ge overheard their conversation and his lips slightly curled, “I do indeed know Miss Man Sha.”
Before Lin Dong could say anything more, he heard Chu Ge add, “I’m here to treat Old Master Nangong in Beijing this ti.”
Lin Dong struggled to find the words, his eyes widening in shock as he looked at Chu Ge, “Is everything you said true?”
Chu Ge nodded, “So if you have anything you want to convey, you can tell .”
After Chu Ge finished speaking, Lin Dong stood up excitedly, grabbing Chu Ge’s hand and spoke sowhat incoherently, “I… I… Mr. Chu, thank you, thank you. Those children can be saved now.”
Liu Yue also beca excited, her eyes filled with joy as she looked at Chu Ge. In her heart, Chu Ge was now a god who could do anything and was high above all.
Chu Ge shook his head slightly; he really didn’t want to give Lin Dong and Liu Yue any false hopes because the promises he made without certainty could not be guaranteed.
It was just that monts ago, when he saw the desolate expressions on Liu Yue and Lin Dong’s faces over the small amount of money, he couldn’t help speaking out without thinking.
“Don’t get your hopes up too high because I haven’t reached Beijing yet, and I’m not sure if I can persuade the Nangong Family to get involved.”
Lin Dong was, of course, aware of this. During the Public Sea Banquet, he had witnessed Chu Ge’s capabilities. Now that Chu Ge had made a personal commitnt, a belief seed to have ford in his heart that Chu Ge would fulfill the promise.
The two hundred yuan he had just received from Chu Ge for the information was still clenched in his palm. He squeezed the money, steeled his heart, and returned it to Chu Ge.
“Mr. Chu, I’m giving you back these two hundred yuan,” said Lin Dong, holding the money tightly, his heart filled with reluctance.
They were in dire need of money right now. To them, two hundred yuan might not seem like much, but for those children, it could provide a week’s worth of als.
Liu Yue, puzzled, looked over at Lin Dong, “What two hundred yuan?”
Lin Dong smiled apologetically with a slight blush on his cheeks as he explained, “Just now, Mr. Chu wanted to inquire about so matters in Beijing, so I…”
Upon hearing this, Liu Yue slapped Lin Dong’s shoulder at once, “Have you lost your mind! How could you even think of taking money from our lifesaver!”
Lin Dong made a face of injustice, “Sister Liu Yue, can you not hit ? It really hurts! You have a heavy hand; it’s painful when you hit soone!”
Liu Yue, at this mont, couldn’t care less. All she wanted was to smack Lin Dong hard again. She snatched the two hundred yuan from Lin Dong’s hand and handed it to Chu Ge, “Mr. Chu, please don’t mind him, Lin Dong just has a professional habit, here’s your two hundred yuan back.”
Chu Ge hadn’t expected Lin Dong and Liu Yue to return the money to him, but he had no intention of taking it back.
Chu Ge gently shook his head, “Keep it, you don’t need to return it.”
For him, earning two hundred yuan was easy, but for Lin Dong and Liu Yue, it ant selling one and a half travel cards and enduring much disdain and contempt from others.
However, Liu Yue insisted on not accepting the money, “Mr. Chu, please take it. Otherwise, we’ll feel guilty. You are our savior, yet we can’t be taking your money on such matters; we simply can’t reconcile it with our conscience.”
Chu Ge glanced at Lin Dong impassively; he just looked at him, without any other intention.
Lin Dong, feeling ashad, lowered his head. At this mont, in front of Liu Yue, the rascal and street-wise deanor he usually displayed had faded, and now he was just like a younger brother who had done sothing wrong, waiting for his older sister’s reprimand.
Chu Ge remained firm in not accepting the money, saying, “Consider this money as a gift I bought for those children, it’s not much, don’t mind it.”
With those words from Chu Ge, Liu Yue hesitantly withdrew her hand. She smiled gratefully at Chu Ge, “We don’t mind at all, how could we? I thank you on behalf of those children, Mr. Chu.”
Chu Ge smiled faintly and gave a slight nod. He turned to Lin Dong, “I have so other things I’d like to know from you.”
Lin Dong hurriedly lifted his gaze to Chu Ge, and said earnestly, “Ask away, I’ll tell you everything I know without leaving out a single detail, and I won’t charge you anything.”
