Chenghai, a beautiful city, was worlds apart from Beijing, yet Xiao Yufan still resolutely boarded the high-speed train heading there, because he couldn’t bear to see Qin Menglu walk alone…
“Master, could you…lend me some money?”
After that birthday, Xiao Yufan made the first call to his master. Perhaps wanting to avoid certain things, he had kept his distance from the old man, but now he truly needed help.
“How much do you need? I’ll transfer it directly to your card. Did you run out of money again chasing girls?”
On the other end of the line, the master sounded extremely excited after answering the call. Xiao Yufan couldn’t help feeling a bit guilty. While he had been avoiding things, he had left so much worry behind for his master.
“About…ten million…” Xiao Yufan almost forced himself to say it. If it were the old him, even thinking about such an astronomical figure would have been impossible. But now, for that girl, he had clearly gone all out.
“Ten million? Give me an hour; I’ll get it into your account quickly…”
There wasn’t a hint of hesitation in the master’s voice. Xiao Yufan knew that for the master, ten million probably wasn’t even a big deal. From the snippets of conversation from his parents and grandfather, he understood just how extraordinary that family was.
“Thank you, Master!” A surge of emotion welled up in Xiao Yufan’s heart. No matter how long it had been since he last spent time with the old man, the master’s feelings for him had never changed, still indulging his every whim.
“Is it still…because you can’t accept the truth? I really hope one day you could call me ‘Grandpa,’ not ‘Master’…”
There was a slight tremble in the tone. Xiao Yufan could even imagine the aged and longing look in the master’s eyes at this moment.
“I…” He hesitated, and finally said nothing. Even though he now believed in his true identity, it didn’t mean he had accepted it. In his heart, there was still an insurmountable emotional barrier.
“Never mind. We’ll talk about it when you’ve adjusted your feelings. Take good care of yourself for now, and stay calm when facing any problems…”
The master trailed off. Xiao Yufan didn’t know what else he wanted to say, but that deep concern warmed his heart. Having a grandfather who always regarded him as the center of his life was actually quite nice!
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yufan once again recalled some of the beautiful memories from his past, and couldn’t help but smile unknowingly. When life becomes helpless, thinking about those beautiful moments can gradually dispel the negative emotions.
In Xiao Yufan’s heart, thoughts about his biological parents kept surfacing uncontrollably. Twenty-five years had passed—had they ever thought about him? But why had his grandfather stayed by his side all along?
He shook his head hard, trying his best to control all emotions. Xiao Yufan knew that thinking too much now was useless. Sometimes, the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment. He truly didn’t expect a miracle, like a carp leaping over the dragon gate.
“Better think about how to solve the girl’s problem first. Although this money could cover the deficit in her father’s company, considering the company’s long-term interests, her father might not necessarily let her go…”
Thinking about Qin Menglu’s situation, he already had a clear understanding of the entire matter from Yu Yihan. If it weren’t for the massive deficit in the company, her father probably wouldn’t have fallen into such a desperate situation.
“I’ll just take it one step at a time. If it really doesn’t work out, I guess I’ll have to sacrifice a bit and pretend to be that girl’s boyfriend…”
Xiao Yufan thought mischievously. If Qin Menglu’s father found out that his daughter actually had a boyfriend, who knew how he’d react? Probably he wouldn’t be too harsh anymore.
…
After spending about a day on the high-speed train, Xiao Yufan was so bored he didn’t know what to do. Fortunately, the journey was only a day long—if it had been any longer, who knows if he would have gone mad.
While Beijing was still in the cold winter, Chenghai was completely different—warm and pleasant. This place was actually a great choice, at least with spring-like weather all year round. As soon as Xiao Yufan stepped onto this land, he already had the thought of never wanting to leave.
“I hope this trip will bring some results. Bringing back a beauty wouldn’t be bad either…”
Xiao Yufan casually put on his sunglasses. His stylish outfit highlighted his flamboyant demeanor vividly. Many flirtatious women had already begun showing interest. In every city, there would always be such a group of people.
Compared to two years ago, Xiao Yufan almost didn’t recognize himself anymore. His aloof aura gave off a sense of distance, and his devilishly charming face appeared even more flirtatious. This transformation had happened too quickly, so fast that he himself found it hard to accept…
