The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

Twenty minutes later, Ling Yun drove Yanzi out of his old residential area and headed straight for Financial Street.

As soon as the car left the residential area, Yanzi looked back at the entrance, then turned back and gently pinched Lingyun.

"You big bad guy, you're so rich now, why did you refuse Da Bin and his wife's request to lend you money? It wasn't much, only 800,000, it's just a drop in the ocean for you!"

"They're running a business, not trying to freeload. Not only do you refuse to lend them money, but you also claim to know a bank manager and can introduce them to low-interest loans. Isn't that incredibly stingy?"

She mentioned that Da Bin and his wife also lived in the same community; they were neighbors she knew, and they were a few years older than Ling Yun and Yan Zi.

When Lingyun brought Yanzi downstairs, the couple were already waiting by the car.

After exchanging greetings, Da Bin said he had something to discuss with Ling Yun and wanted to invite him out for a meal to talk about it.

Ling Yun declined Da Bin's invitation, saying that she had already eaten dinner and had something to do later.

Then they got the couple into the car, closed the door, and started chatting.

The reason Da Bin and his wife came to Ling Yun was because they had their eye on a restaurant in a good location nearby and wanted to take it over and run it.

However, they didn't have enough capital, so they approached Ling Yun, hoping to borrow 800,000 yuan from him to raise the necessary funds.

Ling Yun pretended to think for a moment, but ultimately refused to lend them money.

But he said he knew several bank managers who could introduce them to Da Bin and his wife so they could apply for low-interest loans from the bank.

Clearly, this was not the answer Da Bin and his wife wanted.

They thought for a moment, said they needed to consider applying for a low-interest loan from the bank, and then got out of the car and left.

The swallow witnessed the whole process, which is why it had this question.

Ling Yun glanced at her and shook his head in annoyance.

"Silly girl, it's true your man is rich, but we can't set a precedent for lending money to Da Bin. There are so many people in our neighborhood; what if they all follow suit and come to me for money?"

"More importantly, running a restaurant is hard work. Neither of Da Bin and his wife are the type to endure hardship. They just saw others making money from restaurants and were envious, so they wanted to open one too."

"I can guess the outcome even with my own eyes. If they take over this restaurant, it will probably have to close down in less than two years. Maybe it's a good thing that I'm not lending them money; it'll make them give up on that idea."

"Another reason is that the couple both love playing mahjong and often play all night long. It's okay when they don't have money, they don't dare to gamble too much, but once they have money, they might lose everything..."

"what!"

Yanzi was completely stunned and couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

After realizing what she had said, she quickly nodded.

"So there were so many twists and turns in this story. Da Bin and his wife are actually gambling addicts. You can't lend money to people like that."

"That's right, one of my principles is that I never lend money to any gambler."

Ling Yun smiled and nodded.

As he spoke, he had already driven to the vicinity of Zhongguancun South Street.

Just then, my dad suddenly called.

Ling Yun glanced at the car's LCD screen and casually pressed the answer button on the steering wheel.

After the call connected and we exchanged greetings, Dad asked in surprise:

"Old Fang just called and said you went back to the old house. What are you doing back there?"

Ling Yun glanced at Yanzi and responded with a smile.

"I went back to pick up Yanzi. We had some things to do tonight, so we went back."

Yanzi's pretty face immediately turned red. She pinched him lightly, annoyed, and then greeted her father.

"Hello, Uncle, I'm Yanzi."

Dad paused for a moment, then responded with a smile.

"Hello, Yanzi, you young people have fun together, I won't disturb you any longer!"

After saying that, he prepared to hang up the phone.

Just then, Ling Yun took over the conversation again.

"Dad, I can roughly guess why Uncle Fang called you. It's most likely about Xiao Wei's job."

"He was too embarrassed to bring it up with me, so he wanted to play chess with you and take the opportunity to bring it up, to see if there was any way to resolve Xiao Wei's job issue."

"When Uncle Fang brings this up again, tell him that if Xiao Wei is willing to work for the airline, he should give me a call, and I'll arrange it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dad burst out laughing.

"Haha, so that's what Lao Fang was planning. I understand. I'll talk to him about it later."

"Old Fang must be very happy to hear this good news; it will put his mind at ease."

After chatting for a couple more minutes, Dad finally hung up the phone.

The next moment, Yanzi asked in surprise:

"Why do you treat Uncle Fang's family differently from how you treat Da Bin and his wife? Can you explain why?"

Ling Yun chuckled softly and immediately gave his answer.

"It's simple, that's the difference between a normal person and a gambler! Don't let Xiao Wei's early twenties and playful nature fool you; he's definitely more reliable, trustworthy, and helpful than Da Bin and his wife!"

"Okay, I understand."

The swallow nodded gently.

Whether or not they truly understood is unknown.

Amidst laughter and casual conversation, Ling Yun drove back to his residential compound on Financial Street and headed straight into the underground parking garage.

From the moment she got off the bus, Yanzi became hesitant and timid, as if she had two heavy weights hanging from her feet, dawdling and refusing to enter the elevator.

In the end, Ling Yunsheng dragged him into the elevator and took him upstairs.

When she reached the door, she reverted to her old ways, blushing and fidgeting, keeping her head down as if she wanted to bury herself in the floor.

This time, Ling Yun didn't try to pull or drag her anymore; instead, she opened the door with a smile.

Then he raised his hand and pointed inside the door, smiling as he whispered:

"Yanzi, look up. Is there anyone else in this house? Tonight, it's just the two of us. This night belongs only to us."

"Leilei drove to her parents' house and will stay there tonight. Yuanyuan went to rehearse for her play and will go back to her villa afterward. Jingwen is the same; she'll sleep at her own home tonight..."

Before the words were even finished, the swallow quickly looked up, its eyes filled with delight as it gazed into the room.

But she could only see what was happening in the foyer; she couldn't see if anyone was in the living room.

It didn't matter; she just felt that no one was home.

"You big bad guy, why didn't you say so earlier? You just wanted to laugh at me."

Yanzi casually punched Lingyun.

He then straightened his head and walked in quickly, with a somewhat heroic air about him going to his execution.

Ling Yun smiled and then followed him in.

Just as he stepped into the hallway and closed the door behind him, Yanzi, who was bending down to change her shoes, visibly trembled.

From the side, her ears turned bright red, clearly indicating she was very nervous.

Seeing her shy and bashful appearance, Ling Yun was filled with smugness.

In a short while, they had changed into slippers and walked out of the foyer together toward the living room.

As soon as she turned the corner into the hallway, Yanzi was stunned by what she saw and stood frozen in place.

At the edge of the living room in front, a beautiful archway made of red and pink roses and other colorful flowers has appeared, decorated with colorful balloons and other pretty decorations.

Passing through this flower archway, in the center of the living room, there is a huge heart-shaped pattern made of 999 red roses.

In addition, the rest of the living room is filled with countless beautiful blooming flowers, creating a veritable sea of ​​flowers.

Of course, the swallow knew why all of this had happened.

But as always, she couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks.

"This plot is so clichéd, it makes me cringe just watching it."

Despite saying that, her eyes were full of joy.
