Wait, why is this blond guy a lolicon?

The old Lin family residence in Beijing.

"Young Master Qifan, we have just received reliable information that Miss Song Ruyu has returned to the Song family."

The servants' respectful voices came from outside the medicinal bath room.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qifan, who was soaking in the medicinal bath, had a glint in his eyes and suddenly stood up from the large wooden tub filled with pale green medicinal liquid.

The warm medicine dripped down his smooth muscle lines, falling back into the bucket with a soft, sparse sound that was particularly clear in the quiet room.

"Okay, okay!"

He laughed three times, his joy barely concealed. "Where's Father? I'm going to see him right now! Prepare the betrothal gifts immediately; I'm going to the Song family to propose marriage!"

The servants quickly stepped aside, having already prepared clean clothes for him, and bowed, saying:

"The old master is already waiting for you in the main hall. However..."

He hesitated for a moment, then added:

"We received word from the Song family that Miss Ruyu will personally pay a visit at 3 PM today."

Lin Qifan's hand suddenly stopped moving, and a look of surprise flashed across his face.

Song Ruyu had always been cold and distant towards him.

He never even accepted an invitation from her, let alone visited her.

Who would have thought that she would come to the Lin family in person today?

He pondered for only a moment before being overwhelmed by immense ecstasy.

—Could it be that…

After so many years of persistent pursuit.

Has Song Ruyu finally fallen for him?

That's really good!

Lin Qifan made a decisive move, quickly putting on his clothes while giving a deep, resonant order:

"Go and inventory all of the Lin family's liquid assets, fixed properties, and rare medicinal herbs. Take 70% of them as betrothal gifts and prepare them immediately to send to the Song family!"

"As long as the Song family and the Lin family become in-laws, with Song Ruyu's help, our Lin family will surely rise to a new level!"

The servants nodded hurriedly, praising him repeatedly, and exclaimed loudly, "Young Master is wise!"

Lin Qifan couldn't wait any longer.

He straightened his clothes and strode quickly toward the family's main hall.

At this time, Lin Batian, the head of the Lin family, was Lin Qifan's biological father.

They had already gathered all the clan elders and had been waiting in the main hall for a long time.

Lin Batian was genuinely shocked to learn that Lin Qifan was going to offer 70% of his family's wealth, orders, and businesses as a bride price.

But then I thought about it again, and the fact that the Lin family has come this far, becoming a top-tier family in the capital, second only to the most powerful and wealthy families.

It was all thanks to Lin Qifan's extraordinary business acumen and decisive mind.

This vast Lin family was like the once-prosperous Tang Dynasty; he was Li Yuan, and his beloved son was Li Shimin.

The Lin family's current success is entirely due to the hard work of his son.

After a moment's thought, he made his decision.

We fully support Lin Qifan's decision.

The clan's eldest elder, second elder, and others.

Although I was unwilling.

However, after several arguments...

Ultimately, they couldn't resist Lin Qifan's absolute authority within the clan, and they all relented, producing orders, shares, and transfer documents for their respective businesses.

After all the receipts and documents were neatly collected and organized, an astonishingly valuable dowry was placed on the table in the main hall.

at the same time.

In preparation for Song Ruyu's arrival at 3 PM.

Lin Qifan even gave a death order.

We must spare no expense to decorate the Lin family's old house according to the highest international standards for engagement banquets.

He also sent out invitations widely, showcasing the connections he had built with influential figures from various sectors over many years in the business world.

They invited almost all of them.

He wanted the whole capital to see how much he valued this marriage.

Looking at the mountain of wealth contracts in the hall, the servants bustling about in the courtyard, and the extremely luxurious decorations in the banquet hall—a full 100,000 bottles of 1982 Lafite alone were prepared.

Standing on the second-floor terrace, Lin Qifan suddenly felt a sense of grandeur, as if he were looking down on all the mountains.

His thoughts involuntarily drifted back to more than ten years ago.

At that time, he was just a thin, timid boy.

As a scion of a third-rate family in the capital.

He came from one of the poorest families in the elite school and was often bullied and humiliated by his classmates.

He wanted to resist, but he was powerless to do so.

At one point, I even thought that this was probably all there was to my life.

He had read Jiang Nan's novel "Dragon Raja" and always felt that he was just like Lu Mingfei in the book, a complete loser.

But then he smiled bitterly, realizing that he was not even as good as Lu Mingfei.

At least Lu Mingfei has dragon blood flowing through his veins, and he was born with an extraordinary destiny.

But what about him?

There was nothing there.

In the eyes of the scions of first- and second-rate families.

He's an insignificant, invisible person, someone you can easily step on.

He vaguely remembered that it was a rainy autumn day, and the autumn wind, carrying a bleak chill, swept through the sycamore trees on campus.

Golden sycamore leaves fell softly, carpeting the ground. The students all said it looked beautiful, like a road paved with gold.

But in Lin Qifan's eyes, those bright yellow leaves looked like piles of dried dog poop.

His life was probably just like these fallen leaves scattered all over the ground.

In the end, it will only be trampled into the mud, become smelly, and be ignored by everyone.

That day, several older boys blocked the door of his classroom, waving at him with smiles.

He had no choice but to go outside and, with a heavy heart, move in front of them.

Even though he was extremely unwilling, he dared not refuse.

He knew that if he didn't go today, they would ambush him in the alley after school tomorrow and beat him to death.

As for why he was bullied?

There is no other reason.

It was simply because, among all the younger students, his family had the weakest backing.

They have no worries about being bullied.

The tall boy in the lead, with a face full of acne, patted him on the shoulder and laughed:

"Qifan, we're brothers, aren't we?"

Lin Qifan dared not say no, and could only nod stiffly.

"That's right, we're best buddies!"

The boy laughed heartily, "My bro's in a bit of trouble now, you should lend him a hand, right?"

They're trying to extort money from me again.

Lin Qifan thought to himself silently.

He had been extorted by these three people countless times, and his mind was already numb. He just wanted to pay up and avoid further trouble today.

Just as he reached for his wallet, the boy suddenly frowned and said viciously, "Do you know Li Qiangbin from the sports department? That bastard dared to steal my girlfriend, he's a damn scoundrel!"

"I heard he started a martial arts club. Come with us and let's challenge his dojo!"

The two men next to him immediately chimed in, "Yeah, yeah! We're brothers, how can you just stand by and watch your brother's woman get stolen?"

Without saying a word, they grabbed him and headed towards the martial arts hall.

Upon arriving at the location, a loud shout of "Challenge the establishment!" rang out.

The three of them then gave Lin Qifan a sudden shove, sending him flying.

Lin Qifan stumbled and fell to the ground, landing right in front of Li Qiangbin, a tall and burly man with a ninth-degree black belt in karate.

The three boys stood at the door, shouting encouragement in a mocking tone: "Go Lin Qifan! Help your brother get his woman back! Give Li Qiangbin a good beating!"

He had just raised his head when a large, sweaty foot stomped hard on his face.

Lin Qifan is petite.

Facing off against Li Qiangbin, who was as strong as an ox.

The ending was already predetermined.

He was beaten black and blue.

The three troublemakers had already vanished in a flash.

Lin Qifan's vision gradually blurred with blood.

He was lifted up by the collar and punched repeatedly in the face and stomach.

It hurt so much that he had difficulty breathing, and his mouth was filled with a strong rusty taste.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the continuous drizzle outside the window and the sycamore leaves falling.

The golden leaves fell onto the damp ground.

In the end, he turned into a pile of mud, much like his life at this moment.

Am I going to die?

Lin Qifan had only one thought left in his mind.

Suddenly, a loud bang.

The door to the martial arts hall's storage room was kicked open.

The fists that were about to land on him suddenly stopped.

Lin Qifan turned his head with difficulty and looked towards the door.

Dark clouds pressed down on the sky, and in the gloomy, rainy weather, a petite girl with snow-white hair stood at the doorway.

Her face was expressionless, faint, like a thin autumn mist.

Standing next to her was a girl with blue hair.

The blue-haired girl, hands on her hips, shouted loudly into the building, "You filthy Japanese traitors, we're here to challenge us!"

After shouting, he immediately shrank behind the snow-haired girl, only peeking out half of his head.

Enraged, Li Qiangbin roared and lunged at the two men.

But it only took a moment.

He was punched and sent flying.

He smashed through the wooden floor of the martial arts hall.

The remaining people rushed forward, but they were all taken down by the snow-haired girl.

He was knocked to the ground with three punches and two kicks.

There was no further movement.

Finally, the snow-haired girl slowly walked up to him, looking down at him with her voice still indifferent:

"You're Lin Qifan from the next class, right? I know you."

"Let's hurry, the rain will get heavier and it won't be easy to get to the hospital."

Lin Qifan stared at her blankly.

At that moment, the rain stopped and the wind calmed down.

The fallen leaves all over the ground had lost their color.

The snow-haired girl before him was like a beam of light that suddenly broke through the dark clouds, shining directly into his life, which had been so dark that he could hardly see the light of day.

He didn't know where the strength came from, but he pushed himself up from the ground, looked at her back, and blurted out:

"I want to become stronger too! I want to be as strong as you!"

Upon hearing the words "become stronger," the girl suddenly stopped in her tracks.

She turned around and gave him a faint but beautiful smile, like the sudden sunshine in an autumn day.

"Then good luck."

She lowered her head and said, "I'll be waiting for you at the summit. I also hope to fight someone even stronger."

After saying that, she and the blue-haired girl turned and walked into the gentle autumn rain, their figures gradually disappearing at the end of the road.

Lin Qifan stood still.

The words "I'll be waiting for you at the summit" still echoed in my ears.

An indescribable force.

It surged wildly from his chest, engulfing his limbs and bones.

Many years later, he read a sentence that finally made him understand what that surging power he felt in his youth really was.

The saying is: "Love makes people brave."

The emotion he felt at that time was the purest and most ardent courageous love unique to young people.

He spurred himself on to become stronger and stronger.

Until one day, I can stand at the same level as her.

Then, openly and honestly, marry her and bring her home.

The memories come to an end.

Lin Qifan stood on the terrace, gazing at the cloudless sky.

The bright, dazzling sunshine of Beijing shone down on him, warming him gently.

He curled the corners of his lips into a confident smile, and muttered to himself:

"Today will surely be a good day, won't it?"

……

Meanwhile, at the Song family's old residence.

Song Ruyu dealt with the remaining members of the Song family swiftly and decisively, killing those who deserved to be killed and exiling those who deserved to be exiled.

This massive purge that swept through the entire Song family lasted until noon.

Only then did things finally calm down completely.

Later, it became lunchtime break—perhaps I got addicted.

She took the initiative to pull Jiang Linggan along for a good time, and they didn't finish showering together until 2:30. After getting dressed, they got into the extended Bentley and headed to the Lin family mansion.
