Chapter 333: Wasn’t She Quite Proud of Herself Before?

Chapter 333: Chapter 333: Wasn’t She Quite Proud of Herself Before?

Shen Huan didn’t need to think too hard to feel that the other person was leading him by the nose.

But Shen Huan had no evidence.

Su Yike said weakly, "The money I spent on treating you to dinner yesterday, half of it was on credit."

Shen Huan: "..."

Watching him, Su Yike slowly revealed a smile, "Don’t misunderstand, I’m not asking you for money. I said I would treat you, and I will definitely keep my word."

Shen Huan scratched his head, "Why didn’t you say you had no money earlier?"

He had ordered such expensive items because he thought Shen Huan was as wealthy as he was.

Now Su Yike was telling him that he was out of money.

After treating him, Su Yike didn’t even have money for breakfast.

How was Shen Huan supposed to deal with this?

All he had in mind was to fleece a rich guy.

And now, fleecing this one had backfired.

Thinking of this, Shen Huan felt a headache coming on.

He looked at Su Yike irritably, wanting a solution.

Seeing his mood, Su Yike said weakly, "I’m not blaming you. It was my choice to treat you, no matter the cost, and you shouldn’t feel any burden."

Looking at Su Yike’s sincere expression, Shen Huan scratched his head, feeling a vague sense of guilt deep inside.

"You say I shouldn’t feel burdened, but does that mean the burden will just go away? Do you realize that by doing this, you’re actually adding to my burden?"

"This..." Su Yike looked bewildered and said helplessly, "I didn’t mean that..."

Shen Huan snorted coldly, "What do you mean you didn’t mean it? Are you saying you didn’t do it on purpose?"

Su Yike showed a wronged expression, "I didn’t do it on purpose."

He looked utterly lost.

Shen Huan had no choice but to believe him.

Su Yike, seeing his expression, said weakly, "I know you think I’m not a good person, so you’re reluctant to believe me. I understand, it’s okay."

With that, he sniffled, "I’m not trying to impose on you. I’m an adult already, and I must take responsibility for my actions. Don’t worry, I won’t trouble you, no matter what happens, it’s all my own doing."

Shen Huan: "..."

If Su Yike had been more overbearing, Shen Huan might have been firmer, deciding it was none of his business.

But with Su Yike like this, how could he not get involved?

If he chose not to help, he’d feel like he was leaving someone to die.

Shen Huan was supposed to be the next generation of socialists; he was not that cold-blooded.

With that thought, he had no choice but to tell Su Yike, "Alright, alright, consider it a debt I owe you, okay?"

"Aren’t you hungry? I’ll take you for breakfast."

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope flashed in Su Yike’s eyes, "Really, really?"

"Nonsense." Shen Huan rolled his eyes, quite speechless, "Hurry up, don’t waste time."

Su Yike nodded repeatedly, quickly got up from his seat, and followed Shen Huan out.

Gao Wenlan couldn’t help but shake her head as she watched the backs of Shen Huan and Su Yike.

She had already warned Shen Huan.

Su Yike was dangerous.

It was Shen Huan’s own choice not to listen.

They say nobody can stop a person hell-bent on their own destruction, and Gao Wenlan felt that way about Shen Huan.

Now it was just a matter of seeing who would outsmart the other between Shen Huan and Su Yike.

If Shen Huan ended up being steamrolled by Su Yike, tsk tsk...

Gao Wenlan sighed to herself, silently hoping for the best for him.

She could only hope that he would endure.

Mu Tiantian, looking at Gao Wenlan’s odd expression, couldn’t help but ask, "Gao Wenlan, what are you looking at? Why do you look so strange?"

"I’m looking at the poor little guy," Gao Wenlan said without thinking.

Mu Tiantian didn’t quite understand, "Poor little guy?"

"Which little guy in our class?" Not to mention a poor little guy, there doesn’t seem to be a good one either.

If you really want to talk about it, there is a ferocious little guy.

Gao Wenlan gave her a "cannot tell" look and then ignored her.

Mu Tiantian pouted and muttered, "It doesn’t make any sense."

Gao Wenlan didn’t bother with her.

Some things, the less you know, the safer you are.

...

Time flew by, and another half a month passed.

A lot happened during this half month.

First and foremost was the business of Lin’s real estate.

The projects of Lin’s real estate were targeted, resulting in a dramatic downturn in business.

But that wasn’t the most important issue.

The biggest problem arose with a brand new project.

This project was a commercial area that Lin’s had just opened not long ago.

This commercial area, originally a desolate old town district, had been discussed for reconstruction for over a decade, but had been delayed until now without implementation.

Lin’s father had caught wind of the government’s intention to develop that area and decided to take over the project to open up the commercial area.

In business, having the psychological capacity to take risks is essential.

The reason Lin’s real estate had grown so big was closely related to Lin’s father’s boldness.

This time, Lin’s father was equally bold, hoping to secure this profitable major project before others could react.

However...

He indeed secured the project, but no more than half a month later, problems were discovered.

To beat the policy change, he expedited the development of the land to gain more profit, significantly increasing the workforce and naturally, the efficiency.

It was precisely because of this efficiency that the land’s shortcomings were quickly exposed.

The information Lin’s real estate had gathered was indeed true.

The authorities did plan to develop that piece of land, but not with the idea of turning it into a commercial district.

They had other plans.

Lin’s father stepped in at this moment, taking over the mess.

No sooner had he developed the abandoned old town area than someone came knocking to "check the meter."

You don’t know until you check.

And once checked, it was over.

It turned out that underneath this old town area, a burial tomb was hidden.

Based on preliminary estimates, the size and scale of this tomb were not consistent with ordinary importance.

In other words, the owner of the tomb might very well have been a royal or noble, or even an Emperor.

In our country, there’s an unwritten rule that certain ancient relics must be handed over to the state.

As luck would have it.

The tomb hidden under the old city area developed by Lin’s was one of the most significant.

Lin’s had invested a great deal of manpower and resources to develop what turned out to be a tomb that had to be surrendered to the authorities.

As you can imagine, the losses were tremendous.

On top of that, Lin’s had become closely involved with the Bai Family, becoming somewhat arrogant. In the bid for the old town area, they offended many, leading to even more hardship on top of hardship.

This string of mishaps also affected Lin Ruixue, causing her to miss two days of school.

"Why has Lin Ruixue taken time off? Wasn’t she very proud before?"

During the break, Mu Tiantian couldn’t help but bring up the topic with Shi Yaoguang.
