351 Meeting an Acquaintance; Collecting Debts
Lin Xiaoyao was now in her third year of high school, and her schedule was very tight. She only had a short half-day off every week.
After dinner, Lin Fan drove Lin Xiaoyao to Jiangbei High School.
Lin Xiaoyao looked at the dazzling starry sky above and touched the comfortable and soft seat. Her pretty face was filled with enjoyment.
“Brother, your girlfriend won’t be angry that I’m sitting in your passenger seat, will she?” she asked.
“Brother, I…”
Lin Fan smiled and interrupted, “She won’t be angry. Otherwise, your heart will ache, right?”
“Of course!” Lin Xiaoyao hugged Lin Fan’s strong arm.
After sending Lin Xiaoyao to the school gate, Lin Fan returned home.
The night gradually deepened.
Lin Fan lay on the big bed that was filled with the smell of sunlight. He slept very comfortably and soundly.
The next day, when Lin Fan opened his eyes, the sun was already hanging in the sky.
His parents left the house early as usual.
After Lin Fan washed up, he went to a stall not far away and ate a bowl of wontons.
Then, he strolled along the winding road.
Humans were such strange creatures.
If he always lived in the same place, perhaps he would not have any thoughts of wandering around at all.
Once he returned from other places, he would have an inexplicable urge to look around.
Lin Fan looked at the tall buildings, the roads that were being repaired, and the laughing students… He felt extremely relaxed.
When a slightly hunched figure appeared in front of him, Lin Fan could not help but shout, “Uncle Xue?”
The middle-aged man with slightly white sideburns said hesitantly, “Are you… Lil Fan?”
“It’s me!” Lin Fan said happily.
Back then, when Lin Fan was in his first year of high school, there were limited dorms, and Lin Fan’s house was quite far from the school.
Therefore, he chose to rent a room nearby, which was a room in Xue Baoguo’s house.
Xue Baoguo’s aged face was full of wrinkles. He said happily, “Lil Fan, it really is you!
“By the way, which university are you in?”
In the first year of high school, there were not enough dormitories, so the students could rent rooms outside.
However, in the second year of high school, the school built a new dormitory. Other than the students who lived within three kilometers of the school, the rest of the students were forced to live on campus.
Therefore, Lin Fan only stayed at Xue Baoguo’s house for a year.
Therefore, he did not know that Lin Fan had dropped out of school in his third year of high school.
“I’m studying at Jiangbei University,” Lin Fan said.
“Jiangbei University? Haha! As expected, I knew you would definitely get into a good university!” Xue Baoguo said happily, the wrinkles on his face deepening.
He looked even happier than when he heard that his son had been admitted to Jiangbei University.
Lin Fan did not explain in detail that he did not get in. He was about to say something.
At this moment…
Xue Baoguo seemed to be too happy that he could not breathe. His face was pale, and he lost the strength to stand upright. He fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Lin Fan reacted quickly and grabbed Xue Baoguo’s arms. He asked, “Uncle Xue, are you alright?”
However, Xue Baoguo only panted heavily. His whole body was covered in a layer of cold sweat, and his pupils kept rolling. He could not answer at all.
Seeing this…
Lin Fan did not hesitate at all. He spent 10,000,000 yuan to buy Medical Water from the system and poured it into Xue Baoguo’s mouth.
Gulp!
Xue Baoguo’s condition quickly improved after drinking the medicine. His breathing gradually stabilized, and his complexion returned to normal.
After a while, he asked in disbelief, “I think I’m fine.”
Over the past few years, Xue Baoguo had been worried and anxious because of his business. As a result, he suffered from heart pain, high blood pressure, and other diseases.
Therefore, he often looked tired and dispirited.
Just now… it was as if these illnesses had suddenly disappeared. He felt extremely relaxed right now.
“Lil Fan, what did you give me?” Xue Baoguo could not help but ask.
Lin Fan said, “A little medicine. Uncle Xue, it’s good that you’re fine.”
At this moment, a series of footsteps suddenly sounded not far away.
A middle-aged man with a beer belly slowly walked over from afar.
Seeing this…
Xue Baoguo hurriedly went up to him and said, “President Liu, I’ve finally found you, President Liu…”
President Liu raised his head and pointed his nose at Xue Baoguo. “Oh, Old Xue, what’s the matter?”
“President Liu, didn’t I deliver three carts of pork and two carts of beef to you last year? The money… You haven’t paid yet…” Xue Baoguo said carefully.
“It’s just a few carts of meat, isn’t it?” President Liu glanced at him and snorted. “You’re even blocking me on the street? Are you worried that I won’t give you the money?”
“No, no, I definitely didn’t mean that…” Xue Baoguo hurriedly said. “It’s just that I’ve been in urgent need of some cash recently, and I happened to meet you… So, I came to ask.”
This was a strange era. Those who owed money were always more arrogant than those who borrowed money.
“I’m working on a big project now and don’t have time to deal with this small amount of money. When my project is completed, I’ll settle the bill with you.”
Without waiting for Xue Baoguo’s reply, he turned around and prepared to leave.
“President Liu, I really need this money right now. Can’t you think of a way?” Xue Baoguo quickly shouted.
President Liu grunted and said impatiently, “Alright, alright, alright. You want money, right? I’ll call you when I get back! I can’t believe you’re nagging so much over money.”
Then, he prepared to walk forward again.
At this moment, a tall and handsome figure suddenly blocked in front of him… It was Lin Fan.
“You want to leave? Alright, you just have to pay Uncle Xue the money you owe him right now,” Lin Fan said.
From President Liu’s eyes, Lin Fan could easily tell that he was just being perfunctory. There was no way he would transfer the money to Uncle Xue right away.
A few carts of meat would only cost a few hundred thousand at most… It would not be a big deal even if Lin Fan gave that money to Uncle Xue.
However, it was only right and proper to repay debts.
President Liu raised his eyebrows and shouted, “What’s wrong, Old Xue? Are you worried that I won’t pay, so you found a young man to fight me?”
Xue Baoguo was about to explain when Lin Fan said, “Uncle Xue, leave it to me.”
Xue Baoguo saw a calm and collected look on Lin Fan’s face that was different from ordinary young people. He could not help but nod.
“Soft tactics didn’t work, so you want to use force?” President Liu said. “Old Xue, you’re really bold!”
Then, he said coldly to Lin Fan, “Brat, get out of my way! Otherwise, the consequences are definitely not something you can bear!”
Lin Fan’s expression did not change. He said calmly, “Is that so? I want to see what the consequences are.”
