Zhou Chengjun wanted to treat Lin Fan to a meal to make amends.

However, Lin Fan only wanted to get some medicine now to apply to Lin Xiaoyao's still somewhat swollen cheek.

Therefore, he directly refused.

In the Lamborghini Aventador.

Lin Xiaoyao seemed to snap back to her senses at this moment, saying excitedly, "Brother, when did you learn to fight? Your moves just now when you were teaching those people a lesson were simply too handsome!"

Lin Xiaoyao spoke with such big movements that she accidentally tugged at her swollen cheek, causing her to gasp in pain.

Lin Fan said, "Stop talking for now, I'll go buy you some medicine."

Lin Xiaoyao said, "What medicine do we need? Just apply some ice to it."

In the end, Lin Fan both bought Lin Xiaoyao some medicine and got an ice pack.

With the two methods working together, the effect was exceptionally good.

When they returned to Qing City Central Hospital, the swelling on Lin Xiaoyao's face had completely disappeared.

At this moment, Lin Fan's phone rang with a brisk tune.

"Mr. Lin, I am truly sorry about today. I will definitely deal severely with the relevant personnel at Qing City Yinshan Mall," Song Zhifeng said cautiously.

Lin Fan said, "No need, Zhou Chengjun did pretty well. But in the future, I don't wish for similar things to happen again."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Lin, please rest assured!" Song Zhifeng let out a long sigh of relief.

After hanging up the phone.

Lin Xiaoyao couldn't help asking, "Brother, you really are the largest shareholder of that Yinshan Mall?"

"Yeah, so in the future whenever you like clothes, don't worry about the price, just buy them directly. Your brother here is not strapped for cash," Lin Fan said.

Lin Xiaoyao happily kissed Lin Fan on the cheek and said, "Brother is the best!"

When the two arrived at the VIP ward, Lin Tao was pacing back and forth inside.

Meanwhile, Dai Weixue was folding clothes one by one into a suitcase.

"Dad, Mom, what are you guys doing?" Lin Fan asked.

Lin Tao said, "Staying in the hospital all this time is really stifling. Over the past two days, several regular customers have called to ask when our clothing store is going to open... We're planning to be discharged today."

"Discharged today?" Lin Fan worriedly said, "Dad, you just had surgery not long ago, you should still stay for a few more days."

Lin Tao said, "What's there to stay for? The doctor already agreed to discharge me. If I stay any longer, just as this illness gets better, I'll suffocate myself into another illness."

Lin Fan thought it made sense, pondered for a moment, and said again, "Being discharged is fine, but you don't need to open the clothing store anymore. I'm planning to buy a villa in Qing City or Jiangbei for you to live in..."

"No, no... The house we have now is just fine to live in, why change to a villa?" Lin Tao waved his hands repeatedly. "The clothing store isn't hard work either, it's nice to keep it running."

Dai Weixue said, "Xiaofang, we know you're doing well now and want to be a good and filial son to us."

"However, your dad and I have lived on Si Tiao Street our whole lives, and all our acquaintances are right there. If we suddenly moved to some other place, we wouldn't get used to living there at all."

"Besides, your dad and I aren't that old yet. If we really stayed at home every day doing nothing, it would be way too boring."

"So, we're not moving, and the clothing store will still stay open just to pass the time."

Lin Fan helplessly said, "Alright then... But you guys must not overwork yourselves, and don't skimp on food and clothing either."

"Rest assured," Dai Weixue smiled.

For the next three days, Lin Fan stayed with his parents on Si Tiao Street.

Over these three days, the cash red envelopes Lin Fan opened every single day at 12 noon were all cash, plus the cash he earned from sleeping, breathing, and walking over the three days, in total brought Lin Fan over 3 million more.

At this time, the balance in Lin Fan's card returned to 13.2 million.

Today, urged by his parents, Lin Fan drove the Lamborghini Aventador and set out on the road back to Jiangbei.

Lin Tao and Dai Weixue's reason was very simple: Lin Fan had finally managed to be specially recruited into Jiangbei University to study, and he absolutely must not leave a bad impression in the teachers' hearts due to asking for leave for too long.

If that led to getting expelled, he would truly regret it beyond redemption.

Lin Fan couldn't win against his parents, plus his father's body really had no major issues anymore.

Therefore, he had no choice but to head back to Jiangbei.

A few days ago, when Lin Fan came to Qing City, he could be said to be burning with anxiety, driving at maximum speed the entire way and arriving in Qing City in a very short time.

Now returning to Jiangbei, he drove at a steady speed the whole way, which naturally required a longer amount of time.

Driving the Lamborghini Aventador for a short time didn't make Lin Fan feel much.

However, after driving for a long time, he began to feel his lower back gradually ache.

Lin Fan couldn't help muttering, "When I have time, I definitely have to buy a bigger car."

When Lin Fan returned to the Hilton Presidential Suite in Jiangbei, the time had just reached exactly 12 o'clock.

His phone vibrated slightly, and a red envelope immediately appeared.

Ding! Congratulations, you have received 5,000 yuan.

Ding! Congratulations, you have received 10,000 yuan.

Ding! Congratulations, you have received 5 yuan.

Ding! Congratulations, you have acquired the skill Eye of Truth.

At this time, the time had already reached 12:01.

Lin Fan thought quizzically, When I was in Qing City, all I got was useless cash, and I got a skill the moment I arrived in Jiangbei? Could it be that Jiangbei is my lucky place?

While speaking, Lin Fan cast his attention onto the Eye of Truth.

Eye of Truth: 1. Can discern a female's true physical attractiveness (full score is 100. Note: appearance is affected by outfits and lifestyle); 2. Can discern a female's favorability toward the host (full score is 100.). Choosing truly beautiful beauties and winning their sincere hearts is something every handsome man ought to do.

Lin Fan said, "Eye of Truth? Somewhat interesting."

On the other hand, Qiao Shiya expended a great deal of effort and finally moved all of her younger brother's things into Wanjia Huafu.

Then, she dragged her fatigued body back home.

At this time, her old mother Chen Minfen walked over eagerly and said, "Shiya, hurry up and tidy yourself up, you're going to meet a young man in a bit."

Qiao Shiya helplessly said, "Mom, a blind date again?"

Seeing that her daughter seemed somewhat unwilling, Chen Minfen said, "This young man is totally different from that Lin Fan last time! Lin Fan's family is poor as a church mouse, but this young man's family runs a factory, and his family even has two Mercedes-Benzes!"

When Chen Minfen reached this point, her entire face crinkled into a ball with a smile.

Qiao Shiya muttered, "Lin Fan's family is poor as a church mouse? Then there are no rich people left in this world."

"Rich people? Shiya, what are you saying? How could Lin Fan's family possibly be rich people?" Chen Minfen said.

Thus, Qiao Shiya roughly recounted the events that had happened a short while ago.

Chen Minfen immediately said, "Shiya, you got tricked by that brat Lin Fan! How could he possibly have a luxury car and an entire building of apartments in Wanjia Huafu? I know their family situation way too well."

"You have no idea, Lin Fan's father fell ill the other day, and his mother even called to borrow money!"

"If Lin Fan's family really had that much money, how could they still come asking me to borrow money?"

Listening to her mother's words, Qiao Shiya couldn't help freezing somewhat.

After a long while, she said in disbelief, "Lin Fan's mother... really asked you to borrow money?"

"Could that be fake?" While speaking, Chen Minfen took out her phone and pulled up the call log.

Sure enough, Dai Weixue's phone number was among them.

Qiao Shiya understood immediately.

That Lamborghini Aventador was indeed rented by Lin Fan.

Moreover, Lin Fan didn't have any apartment in Wanjia Huafu either; he was simply having that employee help him put on an act.

Lin Fan wasn't any super-rich prodigy at all, but a thorough-going poor zero-assets loser!
