1990s: Spring Water Family

Chapter 65 Partners have the right to know.
"Oh, I understand."

Wang Fan, being his childhood friend, knew him well and understood him perfectly. After only a few seconds of stunned silence, he grasped his meaning: "You want Zhang Xiaoqian to throw a tantrum on Friday, further provoking Director Du and making him lose his temper."

"clever."

Gu Bin raised an eyebrow and gave him an approving look.

"Wow, that was brilliant! Your move to cut off the enemy's supply lines was absolutely brilliant."

Wang Fan was full of admiration: "With her making such a fuss, even if she were the mayor's daughter, no one could stand it. If she didn't get rid of this plague, she would go crazy."

"She brought this on herself, so she has no one else to blame but herself."

Gu Bin didn't want to waste his breath on the mayor's daughter, so he used this as an excuse to change the subject: "How much profit does the internet cafe have left? Give me ten thousand yuan, I need it."

"I have the money."

Wang Fan stopped laughing, his upturned peach blossom eyes revealing a hint of fox-like cunning: "But you have to give me a reason for what you want to do. No matter what, we're partners in this internet cafe, and as your partner, I have the right to know how the money is spent."

"It's not a flower, it's a loan."

Gu Bin bluntly stated, "Xi Yu's family has an urgent need for the money. Please keep a record of this, and I will pay you back when she finishes filming the documentary and receives the prize money."

"What are you talking about? What else is there to say?"

Wang Fan grinned slyly: "What kind of relationship do we have? We're best buddies, we grew up together like brothers. Your wife is my wife. If you two break up in the future, I won't mind taking her in."

"Screw you!"

Gu Binjun's face darkened, and he kicked him in annoyance: "What nonsense are you talking about! Xi Yu is my person, so all of you better watch yourselves and stop talking nonsense in front of her. Also, tell Qu Peng and Li Liang that no one should even think about making a move on her."

"Wow, so aggressive?"

Wang Fan couldn't dodge and took a solid kick: "What, are you serious? Didn't you say you were putting on an act, using your grandfather's name to protect her for outsiders to see? You don't actually want her to be your girlfriend, do you?"

"if not?"

Gu Bin raised an eyebrow and glared at him.

"Gu Bin, you're finished." Wang Fan stared at him for a few seconds, then burst out laughing: "You're already hooked. I never realized before that the class monitor had such a great charm that he could turn the unruly young master Gu back to the right path."

"Stop nagging."

Gu Bin, impatient with his nonsense, said, "Go to her house this afternoon and deliver the money."

Why don't you go yourself?

Wang Fan was a little unhappy: "In this sweltering heat, all they do is order me around doing chores."

"I promised her grandmother."

Gu Bin paused in his work repairing the wiring, then sighed with a hint of helplessness: "You have to be restrained when you're in a relationship. You can't cross the line. I can't go to her house to see her before my family gives their approval, or the neighbors will gossip."

"puff."

Wang Fan spat out a mouthful of saliva.

Soon after, unrestrained laughter filled the internet cafe.

"What do you mean by 'can't cross the line'? Can't hold hands, or can't kiss? Are there really such bizarre requirements? You two are only eighteen years old, in the prime of your youth, full of energy. Aren't you going to get sick from holding it in?"

He laughed so hard he almost cried, and after he finished laughing, he glanced provocatively at a certain private part of Gu Bin's body.

Gu Bin, unable to bear it any longer, gritted his teeth and uttered a single word in response.

"roll!"

At midday in the sweltering summer heat, the flowers and plants in the courtyard were wilted, their branches drooping listlessly. Only the cicadas continued their tireless chirping on the treetops.

After finishing lunch, Lin Xiyu took a short nap. Seeing that it was almost two o'clock, she took a small stool and went to the front gate, where she sat under the eaves to wait for someone.
