Lu Lin then told him the new information he had received, " Yan Shengbing bought a used car."
Two hours earlier, Yan Shengbing looked up cautiously and saw the dazzling array of wine bottles on the coffee table. He licked his lips a few times.
Cheng Jian, holding a wine glass, chuckled softly, "Pour Mr. Yan a glass."
Zhao Weifang immediately poured a glass of wine for Yan Shengbing, smiling warmly, " Mr. Yan, please."
Yan Shengbing knew it was good wine just from the smell. He swallowed hard, still somewhat wary, and didn't take it. "I don't know you."
Zhao Weifang opened his mouth, Cheng Jian tossed a card in front of Yan Shengbing, took a sip of his drink, and said, "There's 5 million in this card."
Like a switch being flipped, Yan Shengbing's eyes never left the bank card. "You... you're..."
"I've checked. Your current state of destitution, being chased by loan sharks every day, is all thanks to Lu Muchi." Cheng Jian's teeth were clenched so tightly they almost broke when he mentioned Lu Muchi.
Yan Shengbing, however, became unusually wary. "I don't understand what you mean."
Having suffered several losses, he was terrified of Lu Muchi.
"I don't have time to waste with you!" Cheng Jian slammed down his wine glass and stood up abruptly. "Go and deal with Lu Muchi, and the 5 million is yours."
Yan Shengbing was so frightened that he fell to the ground with a thud, waving his hands repeatedly, "No, no, I wouldn't dare to hurt Young Master Lu even if I had a thousand lives..."
"You have to dare, even if you don't dare!" Cheng Jian glared fiercely.
Zhao Weifang quickly tried to smooth things over, squatting down to persuade Yan Shengbing, " Mr. Yan, you'll never be able to pay back those high-interest loans in your lifetime, why not take a gamble? It's 5 million."
Yan Shengbing looked at the bank card again, feeling both wanting and fearful. Fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his temples. "I'm just a nobody, I don't know anything..."
"You can drive, right?" Zhao Weifang interrupted him.
Yan Shengbing's pupils dilated, Zhao Weifang laughed a few times, "Drunk driving is only three years, and besides, with our Young Master Cheng around, three years can be reduced to one year, and one year to probation. Isn't that worth 5 million?"
This is the plan that Cheng Jian and Zhao Weifang came up with.
A piece of trash like Yan Shengbing can't even get close to Lu Muchi. If he does manage to get close, Lu Muchi can take care of him without bodyguards.
The only solution is to cause a car accident.
Moreover, Yan Shengbing is an alcoholic, so drunk driving is perfectly normal for him.
However, the idea of reducing three years to one year and even probation is just Zhao Weifang trying to fool Yan Shengbing. With the Lu Family's power, Yan Shengbing won't get away with injuring Lu Muchi.
However, Zhao Weifang would not remind Yan Shengbing of this.
Cheng Jian wanted Lu Muchi and Yan Heqing to break off their relationship.
Isn't Lu Muchi supposed to be a great lover? Didn't he try to kill Yan Heqing for a worthless toy? He'd like to see how Lu Muchi can still be a great lover after being run over by Yan Heqing's family.
Cheng Jian's eyes were filled with deep-seated hatred.
Yan Shengbing was persuaded and repeatedly asked, "I really won't get into trouble?"
Zhao Weifang patted his chest and guaranteed, "At most a year in jail. Besides, your son is practically an idiot now, and everyone looks down on you. This is all Lu Muchi's fault. Don't you want to vent your anger?"
He picked up the bank card and handed it to Yan Shengbing, saying, "Just nod, and the 5 million is yours."
Yan Shengbing kept swallowing, his hand slowly reaching for the bank card, then suddenly snatching it away and gripping it tightly in his palm.
Zhao Weifang and Cheng Jian exchanged a glance and smiled silently.
Yan Heqing wasn't sure if a car accident would happen, but now that he heard Yan Shengbing went to buy a car, he was pretty sure.
He composed himself, rubbed his shoulders, and said, "I'm hungry. I missed the congee hot pot last time. How about we go get some later?"
Lu Lin knew he was changing the subject, so she went along with it and patted his hair. "It's your decision."
*
The next morning, when Lu Lin got up, he saw Yan Heqing busy in the living room.
They returned to their downtown apartment last night.
It rained all night, and the air was incredibly fresh this morning. The apartment was located at the highest point, with no obstructions on any side and natural light from three sides. The morning sun shone into the living room through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Yan Heqing, wearing a white shirt and light-colored jeans, sat cross-legged on the carpet wrapping gifts.
Yan Heqing didn't have the shop pack it up; he chose the wrapping paper and ribbon himself.
He also tied the ribbons into different shapes according to the girls' preferences.
Some are bows, some are roses.
He was so focused on his work that he didn't notice Lu Lin squatting down beside him.
"You like children that much?" Lu Lin looked at him.
At the orphanage, Yan Heqing got along very well with all the children.
If Yan Heqing likes it, he can increase his interactions with relatives who have children.
Yan Heqing tied the last rose, "They are your nieces."
Just then, Lu Lin called.
It's Lu Ruchan.
Lu Changcheng went to her villa last night and vented his anger for quite a while because of Lu Muchi's matter.
However, Lu Ruchan didn't call because of this.
She knew that Lu Lin had successfully proposed, and given Lu Lin's personality, he would definitely bring Yan Heqing to the Lu Family banquet today, so she made a special call to remind him.
"Your dad has a bad temper, so take good care of Xiao Heqing."
Lu Lin looked at Yan Heqing, who was packing the gifts, and his expression softened considerably. "I know."
"Also, Xiao Heqing is still young. It's understandable that she'll feel awkward meeting relatives for the first time. You can leave after you finish eating; you'll have plenty of time to spend with her in the future."
"Know."
Lu Ruchan gave several more instructions before smiling and saying, " Xiao Heqing, stay next to me. I want to talk to him for a bit."
Lu Lin handed the phone to Yan Heqing, saying, "Mom wants to talk to you."
I went to the kitchen to make breakfast myself.
Upon hearing "Mom," Yan Heqing paused for a second or two, and gripped the phone tightly, unsure of what to say next.
Lu Ruchan also heard the word "Mom" and was particularly pleased with Lu Lin's efficiency. However, she understood that young people are shy and might not be able to say it right away. She smiled kindly and said, "No rush, you can change it next time you meet after giving him a red envelope to change your address."
Seeing how considerate Lu Ruchan was of him, Yan Heqing's eyes softened.
