Zhao Huilin also looked over expectantly.
Yes, that rich young master likes Yan Heqing so much, if he asked, 5 million wouldn't be a problem at all!
Yan Heqing, of course, knew they would react this way.
He neither confirmed nor denied it, only saying, "We'll talk about this later. I have to go back now. I'll come back tomorrow."
Upon hearing there was hope, Yan Shengbing's eyes darted around several times before he reluctantly and slowly loosened his grip on Yan Heqing's trouser leg. Still feeling uneasy, he came up with a clever idea, "I'll take you back."
He needed to know where Yan Heqing lived.
Yan Shengbing's reactions were all within Yan Heqing's plan, and he agreed.
He then walked over to Zhao Huilin, took out two 100-yuan bills from his wallet, and said, "Go buy some medicine and daily necessities."
Yan Heqing only remembered it later.
He actually still owed Zhao Huilin 200 yuan.
That was his first New Year at her home. Zhao Huilin gritted her teeth and bought him a pair of new shoes for 200 yuan. They were so shiny when he walked in them, and every child had a pair back then.
Zhao Huilin covered her mouth and nodded, then took the money, sobbing uncontrollably.
Yan Heqing left, Yan Shengbing followed closely behind him.
Yan Heqing took a taxi back to the city.
Yan Heqing was sitting in the passenger seat, not because Yan Shengbing hadn't changed his clothes and reeked of alcohol, but because he was looking in the rearview mirror.
The white sedan with license plate E6439 was followed closely, neither too close nor too far.
Yan Heqing looked away.
The car ride only took 40 minutes. When they arrived at the apartment building, Yan Heqing got out and turned to Yan Shengbing, saying, "You can take this car back; I'll pay for the fare."
Yan Shengbing quickly got out of the car, beaming, "I'm not in a hurry, and I have nothing to do. I'll walk you to the door."
Yan Heqing smiled and said nothing more, letting Yan Shengbing escort him to the third floor.
Yan Shengbing looked around at the even more dilapidated surroundings than his own home and deliberately said, "Oh dear, this place is terrible! Why don't you move back home and not stay where you are? Xiaofeng can sleep with us, and you can stay in his room!"
Yan Heqing took out his keys. "It's close to the school."
"Yes, yes, it's convenient because it's close to the school." Yan Shengbing immediately agreed with a smile, and only left after seeing Yan Heqing turn the key and the door open.
Yan Heqing sent a message to Lu Lin as soon as she entered the house. "I'm back at my place. I'm not going out today, it's safe. You should go back and rest."
I had just finished sending it when someone knocked on the door.
Yan Heqing's expression changed slightly. He turned off his phone before turning around and opening the door.
The result was Lu Lin.
He carried several plastic bags into the house; he had even taken the time to go to the supermarket to buy some things. Closing the door, his eyes were full of smiles. "They left with Yan Shengbing."
He changed into slippers and was about to go to the kitchen when Yan Heqing hugged him from behind, pressed his face against his back, and inhaled his scent. " Lu Lin, how many relatives do you have?"
He wasn't asking about all of Lu Lin's relatives, but rather the number of people attending the Lu Family banquet.
Lu Lin announced a number, "41."
Half an hour ago, Cheng Jian received about ten photos.
Zhao Huilin hugged Yan Heqing and cried. Yan Shengbing and Yan Heqing got into a taxi, and Yan Shengbing went to Yan Heqing's place...
Cheng Jian has become so thin lately that she's almost unrecognizable; her eyes are sunken, and her gaze is murderous.
The second trial is basically hopeless.
The lawyer also brought bad news: the opposing side submitted more evidence, and the second trial might take longer than 12 years.
But more painful for Cheng Jian than going to jail was his inability to get an erection.
He must kill Lu Muchi!
Cheng Jian's eyes were sharp and ruthless, and Zhao Weifang didn't dare to meet his gaze. She asked in a low voice, " Young Master Cheng, what's the next step?"
Cheng Jian gave a sarcastic laugh, then made a phone call without saying anything. "Where is Lu Muchi?"
The reply from the other end was, "I don't know... His bodyguards follow him 24 hours a day, we dare not get too close, we lost him right after the bar..."
Cheng Jian cursed and hung up the phone. He then dialed another number, "Stop dealing with Yan Heqing for now. Monitor the Yan Family. Give me information on Yan Heqing's entire family in No. 1 Primary School!"
Chapter 122
Over the next few days, Yan Heqing would visit the Yan Family every day.
The day before the Lu Family banquet, Yan Shengbing bought several pounds of crayfish and several bottles of wine to please Yan Heqing. Zhao Huilin smiled and invited Yan Heqing to stay for lunch, where she made spicy crayfish.
The room was filled with a delicious aroma.
Since seeing the prospect of 5 million yuan, Zhao Huilin has regained her hope. These past few days, she has kept her house spotless, waiting to welcome her new life.
Yan Shengbing kept his eyes on Yan Heqing. Zhao Huilin brought out a bowl of crayfish, and the two exchanged a glance. Zhao Huilin then called out to Yan Heqing affectionately, " Heqing, dinner's ready!"
Yan Heqing is on the balcony.
The wooden planks on the balcony had been removed, and the newspapers pasted on the windows had been torn off. Sunlight streamed in, as if nothing had happened. Yan Heqing lowered his eyes, glanced indifferently at the white sedan below, and opened the window.
The summer wind carries the scent of fire.
Yan Heqing turned around and went into the living room.
Yan Shengbing was in high spirits over the happy occasion. He skillfully bit open the bottle cap and poured Yan Heqing a full glass. "Good son, have a drink with Dad."
Zhao Huilin unconsciously flinched. She was terrified of Yan Shengbing's beatings lately and was especially afraid of Yan Shengbing getting drunk. But he was easier to Yan Heqing when drunk, so she forced a smile, put down a plate of fried peanuts, and rubbed her apron with the back of her hand, agreeing, "Yes, yes, you two have never sat down and chatted before. Drink more, and Mom will go cook a few more snacks to go with the drinks."
Yan Shengbing secretly glared at Zhao Huilin. Why bring up something that shouldn't be brought up? He's trying to get closer to Yan Heqing right now, and saying these hurtful things is just asking for trouble!
Zhao Huilin realized she had misspoke and gave an awkward laugh, "You guys drink, I'll go cook some dishes."
He hurried back to the kitchen.
Yan Heqing waited calmly until the couple finished their performance, then Yan Shengbing happily downed his drink in one gulp. He said unhurriedly, "I won't be coming tomorrow."
Yan Shengbing poured himself another glass of wine, which he eagerly downed in one gulp. He loved to drink but had a low tolerance for alcohol; after two glasses, he started to feel lightheaded, only thinking about the 5 million yuan. He couldn't wait to inquire, "Go see Young Master Lu tomorrow? Go see him! He thinks so highly of you, you should keep him company. Your mother and I are home every day, come visit us when you have time."
