After the ambulance left, Hua Yong and Qiao Han were taken away by the police, and the onlookers gradually dispersed. Only then did Lin Tingyue remember to check Ying An's hand.
Ying An opened his palm and saw that Lin Tingyue was checking his hand inch by inch. He smiled and said, "My hand is fine."
"That's not necessarily true," Lin Tingyue, still carefully examining the area. "Hmm, there seems to be some redness here."
"Yeah?"
Ying An examined it carefully. "It does look a little red, but the skin isn't broken, so it's fine."
Lin Tingyue looked up. "I didn't expect Mr. Ying to be so fond of doing good deeds."
Ying An said seriously, "As a celebrity, one should still have a sense of social responsibility."
Lin Tingyue was amused.
Ying An stared at Lin Tingyue, "Back in the car? That little red mark disappeared after a while."
Lin Tingyue accidentally brushed against that patch of skin, Ying An's fingers curled up. Lin Tingyue didn't notice Ying An's discomfort, and she finally let go of Ying An's hand, "Okay."
Lin Tingyue walked ahead, while Ying An stared at his palm, lost in thought for a moment.
Lin Tingyue hummed a song as she returned home, only to find everyone sitting in the living room. Surprised Lin Tingyue, "Aren't you asleep yet?"
Lin Shengyan: "If you don't come back, will Mom and Dad dare to go to sleep?"
Mr. Ying isn't a thief, why would he steal me?
Bai Yaxin and Lin Rusong exchanged a glance. It was indeed a thief; they had stolen all their cabbages.
"Perfect timing, I had some incredibly delicious dessert today." Lin Tingyue shook the box in her hand.
"Second Miss, give it to me."
Mama Zhang took the food, and the two portions were cut into six pieces. Even Lin Yuhuan and Lin Xiawan, who don't usually like sweets, gave it a thumbs up.
Lin Xiawan asked, " Tingyue, which restaurant is this?"
Lin Tingyue smacked her lips. "I don't know, it was ordered by Mr. Ying."
Lin Xiawan: "..."
I suddenly realized how unnecessary my question was.
"Alright," Bai Yaxin patted Lin Xiawan and Lin Tingyue on the shoulders, "Go upstairs to sleep."
Okay.
The two obediently agreed and went upstairs hand in hand.
Lin Shengyan, "I'm not sleeping, I'm going to stay up all night!"
They received a heavy blow from Ms. Bai Yaxin.
Lin Shengyan became obedient.
Lin Rusong, Lin Yuhuan, and Bai Yaxin remained in the living room.
Bai Yaxin asked Lin Tingyue how she was doing at the company, and Lin Yuhuan replied, "Mom, don't worry, Tingyue is adapting very well."
Lin Rusong said worriedly, "But they have to talk to President Zhang about the project tomorrow, and that President Zhang is notoriously difficult to deal with."
Even the most difficult clients, Lin Tingyue should be able to handle them, right?
Despite his thoughts, Lin Yuhuan said, "I'll go with them tomorrow and keep a close eye on things."
Lin Rusong and Bai Yaxin nodded in satisfaction.
Lin Yuhuan: "...?"
So, you kept him around purely for this reason, right?
This older brother of his is such a tool!
The next morning, Zhang Qiuhuai to meet Lin Tingyue, Yao Aoyun, Lin Yuhuan at his manor.
The estate covers a vast area and also has a huge horse farm. When Lin Tingyue met Zhang Qiuhuai, he had already changed into riding clothes.
Lin Tingyue: "?"
Are we going to ride horses today?
Has she finally had the chance to become a real ox or horse, galloping across the vast grasslands?
Looking at Lin Tingyue's shining eyes, Lin Yuhuan and Yao Aoyun slowly uttered a question mark.
What is Lin Tingyue so excited about?
"The horses in the horse farm are all gentle in temperament. Mr. Lin and Mr. Yao, you may go and choose one."
Lin Tingyue together. "Really? Is that okay?"
Zhang Qiuhuai smiled and said, "Of course, it seems President Lin is also a horse lover."
Lin Tingyue smiled shyly; what she truly loved was the vast grassland.
Although there are no grasslands here, there is grass.
Lin Tingyue chose a white horse that seemed very friendly. When Lin Tingyue walked over, the horse started to nuzzle against her.
[Wuhu.]
Zhang Qiuhuai paused in his mounting motion. What was that sound? Could a horse make such a noise?
"Don't be nervous, everyone. It's okay if you can't ride; we'll have someone accompany you."
Therefore, Chapter
Is he just trying to promote his horse?
Zhang Qiuhuai: A kindred spirit!
Lin Yuhuan, still worried, reminded Lin Tingyue and Yao Aoyun, "Be careful."
Don't worry.
Lin Tingyue couldn't ride a horse, so she didn't dare to run around the riding arena like crazy. She walked around the arena once and came back to see a chestnut horse that was particularly beautiful.
Zhang Qiuhuai said, "That's my son's horse; no one else can ride it."
Just as Zhang Qiuhuai finished speaking, his assistant rushed over. "Something terrible has happened, Mr. Zhang! The young master is vomiting blood in his room!"
"What?"
Zhang Qiuhuai hurriedly dismounted, and Lin Tingyue other two followed. The family doctor had not yet arrived, and Zhang Qiuhuai's wife was on the verge of collapse.
"What should I do? What should I do? Is my son going to die?"
"No, it won't happen," Zhang Qiuhuai reassured his wife.
Seeing this, Lin Tingyue other two left the room.
[Why would someone suddenly vomit blood? Could it be some kind of business war?]
Vomiting blood... This must mean someone was poisoned!
Zhang Qiuhuai looked grim in the room.
[That scared me to death! I was wondering how things suddenly escalated from a business war like the "sandwich" game to a matter of life and death. Turns out it wasn't a business war after all.]
Zhang Qiuhuai's expression alternated between good and bad. If it wasn't a competitor, then what was it?
[Hmm... but this is way more absurd than business warfare... believing he could ascend to immortality, he drank a whole bowl of talisman water... where did that come from?]
Lin Tingyue wasn't the only one who was confused; everyone was confused.
Chapter 121
Inside the room, Zhang Qiuhuai asked with a stern face, "Tell me honestly, what have you been doing?"
Zhang Changyi didn't look at Zhang Qiuhuai, and stammered, "I... I didn't do anything."
"Still not telling the truth? Do you want me to cancel your card and throw you onto an island to grow potatoes?"
Zhang Changyi's eyes widened. He pitifully tugged at Yang Xin's hand, and Yang Xin said, "Don't touch your mother. If you don't confess honestly, even I can't save you."
His dad really dared to throw him onto an island.
Zhang Changyi had been there once before, and he was on the verge of death when his father pulled him back. Zhang Changyi's mind was blank, and his fear of the island prompted him to tell the story.
"That young Daoist priest said that drinking this talismanic water would transform me... I know I'm not very smart, I just wanted to do my part for my family..."
He said innocently, "Maybe my current vomiting of blood is a sign of a complete transformation."
Enraged, Zhang Qiuhuai slapped Zhang Changyi on the back of the head. "A complete transformation, my foot! To me, it's a sign of going to the underworld."
Zhang Changyi realized, "Dad, am I really going to die?"
Zhang Qiuhuai snorted, "If you die, I'll just have another one."
"Dad--"
"I heard you wailing as soon as I got back, what's wrong?" Zhang Yingyue came in from outside, grabbed Zhang Changyi's chin and looked him up and down, slightly disappointed, and said, "Didn't they say you vomited blood? How come you're still jumping around like a madman?"
Zhang Changyi, with tears in his eyes, said, "Sister, didn't I already say I wouldn't fight you for the inheritance?"
One by one, they were like this. Zhang Changyi broke down and was about to cry when Zhang Yingyue threw her coat over his face.
"Wait until Doctor Song arrives before you cry."
Doctor Song was the Zhang family's usual doctor. After he arrived, Zhang Qiuhuai went downstairs.
Lin Tingyue and a few others were drinking tea on the first floor.
[Seriously? A middle school student scammed a college student, and the college student actually believed it?]
Zhang Qiuhuai: "..."
Without a doubt, this is referring to his son.
[Now we're drinking talisman water, should we take pills next time?]
[Talismans are easy to find, but medicinal pills are not. Are you going to use Maltesers as a substitute?]
The more Zhang Qiuhuai listened, the more he felt his son was a fool.
But what can you do? He's his son after all. I guess all the family's intelligence was passed down to his sister.
Zhang Qiuhuai, "Sorry to keep you all waiting."
"Not at all," Lin Tingyue said, "It's good that your son is alright."
Zhang Qiuhuai: "..."
Wasn't it this Mr. Lin who was talking the most enthusiastically just now?
"It's just kids being silly."
Cinnabar is still poisonous.
Zhang Qiuhuai's expression changed. Zhang Yingyue came downstairs and, seeing her father's state, asked in confusion, "Dad, why do you look so pale? Did Zhang Changyi anger you?"
What did Doctor Song say?
"He's alright, we're explaining things to him right now."
Doctor Song was speechless at Zhang Changyi's antics.
Zhang Yingyue looked at Lin Tingyue and the others, "Dad, are these your business partners?"
"These are people from the Lin Group."
Zhang Yingyue shook hands with each of them and praised them, "You are all very promising young people. If I didn't have something urgent to attend to, I would have sat down and had a good chat with you all."
Zhang Qiuhuai frowned and asked, "What's the urgent matter?"
"Don't worry, Dad, I'll handle it."
Zhang Yingyue patted Zhang Qiuhuai on the shoulder and walked outside. She took out her phone and made a call, "How is it...? They've arrived, so let's begin... What if I wronged him? I'll definitely apologize to him, and while I'm at it, I'll officially announce him as our newest spokesperson..."
[If the result is good, they become a spokesperson; if the result is bad, they become someone who catches their partner in adultery.]
Zhang Qiuhuai's pupils dilated in shock.
[It has to be Zhang Yingyue! She's practically the leading lady, using the company's account for a live stream. The sheer volume of traffic is staggering; I wonder if that minor celebrity can handle it.]
