âWhat will you do when the time comes?â
âIâ¦â Li Yang was at a loss.
Perhaps feeling that he had spoken too harshly, Xu Qingyan sighed and said in a gentle voice.
âSince you donât know what to do, leave it to the adults. I can only help you this once, in hopes of resolving the matter permanently.â
âSo if itâs not just for old timeâs sake and you donât want to give up on your own, then just cooperate, thereâs no need for you to overthink it. Just be the child you are.â
Li Yang lowered her head, thinking about his comment âbe the child you are,â and told herself she was not a child.
âI understand.â
âSo what are you thinking now, are you dwelling on the past or just wanting to give up?â Xu Qingyan asked.
Although Li Yang had not met Xu Qingyan many times, through the few interactions they had, she knew that her âbrotherâ disliked dithering.
âNo, I want to get back what my father left behind.â
âThatâs good, this matter is not as difficult as you think it is.â Xu Qingyan placed his phone on the table and spoke softly, âThis society operates by the law.â
âThereâs not much going on during the New Year anyhow, so thereâs no question of any delay. If you hesitate and this matter isnât settled cleanly, any future recurrence would be the real delay.â
Hearing this, Li Yangâs eyes brightened, and she nodded firmly.
âMm.â
Just then, the restaurant began to serve the food, and Xu Qingyanâs phone on the table vibrated unceasingly.
âYou eat first, Iâll take a call.â
With that, Xu Qingyan walked out of the private room, and the moment he answered the phone, Gan Wenchangâs voice came through.
âHow come youâre asking about news from the Municipal Bureau? Have you run into some trouble?â@@novelbin@@
âNo, just asking casually.â Xu Qingyan went straight downstairs, pushed open the restaurant door, âI have a younger sister from my hometown who is studying at Xinghai Universityâ¦â
He briefly explained the situation, then heard Gan Wenchang curse.
âThatâs just too beastly.â
âItâs not too bad, I can manage it myself here.â Xu Qingyan said, âItâs not a big deal, just might waste a bit of time in the process.â
âIâll think of some way to help you, but Iâm far from the sky, far from the emperor.â Gan Wenchangâs voice transmitted from the other end of the phone, âIâm not sure how much itâll help.â
âBuddy, Iâve never been to such a remote place as yours, itâs only my fatherâs old comrade-in-arms. I call him uncle, just say heâs my half-brother from a different mother, and follow along.â
Xu Qingyan chuckled, âAlright, Iâll treat you to a meal when Iâm back.â
âHey, youâre coming back? Who would believe that?â Gan Wenchang snorted, âYou joker, are you issuing me a bounced check here, treating me to a meal when you fly to Capital City?â
âNot Capital City, itâs South Yunnan.â He said.
âHuh??? South Yunnan what the hell? Iâm not going there, Iâd be sick to go eat with you in South Yunnan!!â Gan Wenchang laughed in frustration.
âYouâll understand when the time comes, see you in South Yunnan.â
âDamn it! Speaking in riddles, huh!â Gan Wenchang cursed loudly on the phone, then, after cursing for a while, he realized, âFuck, donât tell me I have to go work there with you?â
Xu Qingyan didnât answer, vaguely muttered a few words, and hung up the phone.
Back in the private room, he could feel that Li Yangâs mood had improved a lot. He smiled, never speaking in front of her about how society is this or that.
It was meaningless.
After eating, Li Yang thought they were going back to the law firm, but instead, she found Xu Qingyan hailing a taxi to take her to a 4S shop.
âBrother, are you buying a car?â
They had come by car, and Xu Qingyan thought it might as well buy a car to take back. Though it wouldnât be driven much in a year, it was still necessary to have one at home.
The amount of money in his account had already exceeded his initial expectations, and buying a pedestrian vehicle worth a few hundred thousand yuan was not a pressure at all. In the next month, this deficit would be automatically covered.
âYeah, you want to ride back in a black car?â Xu Qingyan said, âJust casually buying one to have at home, the car used by our second uncle is too old, he can drive it too.â
In reality, he was thinking, just drive it casually, and when itâs not in use anymore, transfer it to the second uncle.
âNo, but it seems there is no one in the store.â Li Yang was a bit confused, impromptu car buying was somewhat⦠âThey must be on holiday.â
