I'm Not Interested in Money

When the plane Lin Yuan was on landed in New York, it was already past one in the morning.

The first-class experience was indeed much better than economy. With good rest conditions, the 15,000-kilometer journey and 16 hours of flight time weren't as exhausting.

The temperature in New York was much lower than in Hong Kong Island, and it had just snowed.

Lin Yuan had been wearing a thin jacket before boarding, but by the time he deplaned, he needed to put on a thick down jacket.

After exiting the airport, Lin Yuan dragged his heavy suitcase, heading towards the taxi stand.

The next second, he saw that sturdy figure.

Lin Yuan walked up with a smile, "Uncle, how did you know my flight?"

Vin Diesel gave him a hug. "The sister you recognized in Hong Kong told me. She was worried it would be too late for you to get back easily."

"Uncle, thank you for the trouble."

The concern from both Vin Diesel and Zhang Ziyi made Lin Yuan feel very warm.

"You never need to be so polite, we're family. Let's go, my car isn't parked far away." Vin Diesel reached out to grab Lin Yuan's suitcase.

"Damn! How is this suitcase so heavy? And why does it feel effortless for you to carry?"

Vin Diesel didn't know that Lin Yuan's strength had far surpassed that of ordinary people. He was even stronger than Vin Diesel, the muscular hunk.

"Hong Kong Island is a shopping paradise, so I just bought a few extra things to bring back."

"I'm asking how you got so strong? I work out every day to build this muscle, and I can't even compare to you?" Vin Diesel clearly couldn't accept this fact.

"Because I know kung fu!" Lin Yuan didn't know how else to explain, so he just used that to brush it off.

"Can you be my coach? I want to learn this."

"Sure, I'll teach you another day, starting with the basics."

Lin Yuan genuinely wanted to teach Vin Diesel some practical techniques, as he was also on the path of an action star.

When the two of them got into Vin Diesel's Hummer SUV, Lin Yuan took a box out of his carry-on bag and handed it over.

"Uncle, this is a gift for you."

"A Rolex gold watch? This isn't cheap, I can't accept it." Vin Diesel refused.

"Wasn't it more expensive than this when you paid to film 'Jurassic Park 3' for me? Don't worry, I made a lot of money on this trip to Hong Kong Island. See, I have a Rolex on my wrist too."

The watch on Lin Yuan's wrist was also a Rolex, but it wasn't the ostentatious gold watch that screamed nouveau riche. It was a Rolex Daytona, a gift from Zhang Ziyi in Hong Kong.

"But..."

"You never need to be so polite, we're family." Lin Yuan used Vin Diesel's own words to shut him down.

"Alright, this watch has a strong flashy vibe, but it suits me perfectly! I've wanted to buy one for a long time."

At this time, Vin Diesel's career had just begun, and he wasn't considered very wealthy.

It would have been difficult for him to spend seventy or eighty thousand dollars on a Rolex gold watch himself.

However, when he took out his entire savings of 1.3 million dollars without a second thought to support Lin Yuan in filming 'Jurassic Park 3', he didn't hesitate.

Although Lin Yuan ultimately didn't need the money, as he solved the funding problem through Mr. Eisen's investment, he had always been very grateful to his uncle in his heart.

Lin Yuan's parents passed away when he was nine years old. For the past nine years, Vin Diesel had been like a second father to him, taking care of him.

When he had the ability to repay Vin Diesel, he wouldn't hesitate either.

"Let's go, we're going home."

"Okay, we're going home."

Even now, Lin Yuan and Vin Diesel still lived together. They owned a three-story wooden house in District 26, New York.

Lin Yuan lived on the third floor, and Vin Diesel lived on the second.

"Oh, right, I've got a girlfriend. We might be adding a new member to the family soon, you don't mind, do you?" Vin Diesel said with a smile.

How could he not mind!

Upon hearing this, a surge of anger shot straight to Lin Yuan's head.

He would never forget the venomous heart hidden behind that beautiful face.

In his previous life, she was the reason he and Vin Diesel fell out and never spoke to each other again.

Otherwise, with an uncle like Vin Diesel, a big Hollywood star, Lin Yuan wouldn't have ended up destitute and died alone.

Now, she had arrived right on schedule. This time, Lin Yuan would definitely teach her a lesson she would never forget.

So, Lin Yuan said with a smile, "Of course I don't mind, we'll get along wonderfully."

At this moment, she hadn't revealed her true colors yet, so Lin Yuan couldn't target her directly. But ugliness couldn't be hidden forever.

Soon, Lin Yuan would make Vin Diesel see her most disgusting side.

"Then I can rest assured." Vin Diesel didn't suspect anything.

The next day, Vin Diesel accompanied Lin Yuan to visit Director Cohen, Director Johnston, and Paul Walker.

They were all people who had shown Lin Yuan kindness and help over the past period.

Director Cohen needed no further introduction; he had helped Lin Yuan start his career without regard for personal gain.

During the filming of Jurassic Park 3, Director Johnston increasingly admired and took care of Lin Yuan. After the film was completed, he did his best to highlight Lin Yuan in the editing process, trying to help him become a big star.

Paul Walker had also once offered $700,000 to help Lin Yuan film Jurassic Park 3.

A debt of gratitude could not be repaid with money, only with a lifetime of friendship.

Visiting them often was the best way to show it.

Lin Yuan had prepared gifts for them in Hong Kong, all chosen with Zhang Ziyi's help.

The gift for Director Cohen was Romanée-Conti wine, a wine that is said to be affordable for millionaires but only consumable by billionaires.

A bottle of top-tier Romanée-Conti wine often sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars at auction.

Director Cohen was an avid wine enthusiast. While the bottle Lin Yuan prepared for him wasn't quite that expensive, it still cost nearly $90,000.

Director Johnston enjoyed fishing, so Lin Yuan prepared a set of masterfully handcrafted fishing gear for him. The craftsmanship was extremely luxurious and exquisite, and the set cost $30,000.

The gift for Paul Walker was an Hermès Birkin bag...

Aside from racing, Paul didn't have any particular hobbies. Lin Yuan knew about his future misfortune and didn't want to encourage his passion for racing.

The Hermès bag was for Paul's wife, and it would also effectively convey his good intentions.

The prices of the three gifts varied slightly depending on the closeness of the relationship, but the thoughtfulness behind them was something the recipients could directly feel.

As a result, all three men were delighted and satisfied upon receiving their gifts, expressing their thanks with smiles.

After visiting the three, Vin Diesel, who had accompanied him, said, "Including the gift you bought for me, you didn't spend a little money this time. You should be more frugal in the future. When you have money, think about when you didn't."

Lin Yuan smiled. Vin Diesel's view on money was truly like that of the older generation in China.

He was of mixed Black and White heritage, with not a trace of Chinese blood. Where did he get this mindset?

Perhaps the answer was: from his good brother – Lin Yuan's father, who had passed away young.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan's mood became a little heavy.

So he made a joke: "I'm not interested in money. If I don't spend it, what's the point of keeping it?"
