You all chase after the innocent school beauty, then I'll choose the rebellious female school b

It was already past 11 p.m., and it was extremely cold. The wind felt like knives cutting into your face, no exaggeration.

For people from the far south, eleven or twelve degrees Celsius is already bitterly cold.

On this cold night, Linna finally opened the door for Lu Yuan and let him in.

The room Linna rented was very small, just a single room. There was no place to cook, and apart from a bed, a table, and a chair, there was nothing else.

She had been eating instant noodles for several days, and tonight's instant noodles were still in their packaging; she hadn't had time to dispose of them.

After Lu Yuan came in, he couldn't find a suitable place to sit down, so he simply stood near the door and looked at her.

Lin Na didn't invite Lu Yuan to sit down, but instead sat on the edge of the bed herself, her face cold.

The two men stared at each other without speaking first, like two warriors poised to strike, waiting for the other to make the first move so they could find an opening and defeat the enemy in one blow.

Lu Yuan didn't want to drag this out any longer, so he smiled and said, "Sister Na, if I said this has nothing to do with me, would you believe me?"

Lin Na hates Lu Yuan so much because she believes that Lu Yuan is responsible for her being punished by Lin Jinfu, and that Lu Yuan is the one who orchestrated this outcome.

But Lu Yuan was truly innocent. Although he knew that Lin Na and Hu Chenghui had a connection, he only plotted to deal with Hu Chenghui and did not touch Lin Na.

Lin Na has only herself to blame; in order to achieve her goals, she was willing to cooperate privately with someone like Hu Chenghui.

Lin Jinfu must have told her what kind of people she shouldn't touch, but she deliberately went against the rules, so it's no wonder she was punished.

Lin Na's face was cold, her voice soft but filled with deep hatred, "But it also has to do with you, Lu Yuan. Don't think I'll forgive you. I will never forgive you in my entire life."

"Sigh!" Lu Yuan sighed and waved his hand helplessly. "Think what you want, there's nothing you can do about it now."

As soon as Lu Yuan finished speaking, Lin Na stood up abruptly, pulled out a utility knife from somewhere, and held it to his neck. It was just a hair's breadth away from cutting his flesh and ending his life.

Linna said coldly, "Who says I can't do anything to you? I could kill you right now."

To be honest, Lu Yuan was startled for a moment.

However, his fear didn't last long before he calmed down, and he chuckled, "Sister Na, would you really dare to use a knife on me?"

"Do you really think I wouldn't dare?" Linna said angrily.

She gripped the knife tighter, but it didn't cut. Her hand trembled more and more violently, and she could even hear the sound of the utility knife rattling.

"You wouldn't dare!" Lu Yuan said confidently, raising his hand to slap the utility knife in Lin Na's hand to the ground.

She took a few steps back, her legs gave way, and she collapsed onto the bed.

She covered her head with a pillow, pressing it tightly against her skin, and soon suppressed sobs could be heard.

After crying for a while, she said, "All the friends I know are afraid of my dad. Not one of them is willing to help me, not even secretly."

I can understand why she broke down.

She was the glamorous eldest daughter of the Lin family, a star surrounded by admirers. Wherever she went before, she was always the center of attention.

At that time, she thought all those connections were hers, but in the end, when Lin Jinfu gave the order, no one dared to help her. Even Yun Duo, who was her best friend, avoided her.

She was acutely aware that she had nothing left after leaving her family, and she couldn't bring herself to lower herself, so she could only live in this tiny rented room eating instant noodles.

This huge disparity left her feeling utterly helpless.

Lu Yuan walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, wanting to pat her to offer some comfort, but Lin Na was wearing a thin nightgown and lying down, so it seemed inappropriate to pat her from any angle.

Having no other choice, Lu Yuan could only say, "Actually, your father is just afraid that you will follow in his footsteps when he was young. He loves you as his daughter, so there's no need for you to be so sad."

Linna was still crying.

Lu Yuan continued, "At the peak, you'll be met with false support; only in the trough can you see true friends. Your father probably wanted you to understand that your friends are nothing special. You should be happy because you've seen through people's hearts, not here crying your eyes out."

With Lu Yuan's encouragement, Lin Na's crying finally subsided.

Lu Yuan continued, "Sister Ya and Brother Kai are both very good to us. They are so happy together, and I really hope they will become a couple. If they do get married in the future, as Brother Kai's sister, we will all be seeing each other all the time. So, it would be unwise to escalate the situation to the point of conflict."

Linna's crying had mostly stopped.

Lu Yuan glanced at her; she was still burying her face in her pillow, probably because she didn't want Lu Yuan to see her crying.

Knowing that his persuasion was effective, Lu Yuan said even more earnestly, "Your father just wants you to realize that it's not easy to build a family business, and it's even harder to maintain it. If you go to work and earn money yourself, you might understand why your father is so opposed to you associating with people like Hu Chenghui."

"To be honest, your dad wants me to train you properly, but I know your personality; you're unlikely to listen to my arrangements. So, how about we make a deal?"

silence.

After a long silence, Linna finally asked, her voice choked with emotion, "What kind of deal?"

"Listen to my arrangements. At the latest, by the end of this winter break, I guarantee you will be able to return to your family and reclaim all your wealth and honor."

Upon hearing this, she immediately threw back her pillow, looking at Lu Yuan with teary eyes, "Really?"

"Of course it's true. I'm a person of my word. Like I said before, I'll earn ten million with Lin Kai within two years. Do you think I can do it?"

Linna shook her head. "I don't believe it."

Well, Lu Yuan looked slightly embarrassed.

Yuanxian Wardrobe hasn't yet accumulated the foundation to earn ten million, but foundations are something that are built up over time.

Lu Yuan touched his nose and said seriously, "Anyway, I mean what I say. If you believe me, you can go back to being your rich heiress in less than two months. If you don't believe me, you'll have to figure it out yourself."

After saying that, Lu Yuan stood up and made a move to leave.

Linna quickly sat up and said impatiently, "I didn't say I didn't believe you."

Lu Yuan, with his back to her, revealed a smug smile, but when he turned around, his expression changed to serious. "So, you're going to make a deal with me?"

Lin Na looked at Lu Yuan warily. "I can do whatever you say, but you're not allowed to insult me ​​or beat me."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely treat you like a human being."

Lu Yuan smiled faintly, believing his smile to be very kind and approachable.

But for some reason, Linna felt that his smile was a veiled threat, that he had ill intentions.

Linna had no other choice. If she didn't do something, it would be like being sentenced to life imprisonment. Not to mention leaving the family forever, she wouldn't even be able to survive for six months.

"I'll come find you at nine o'clock tomorrow morning," Lu Yuan said.

Linna thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Now, she has no choice but to trust Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan smiled with satisfaction, "Alright, then you should get some rest. I'm leaving now, see you tomorrow."

As Lu Yuan spoke, he opened the door, and a gust of cold wind rushed in, making him lose his serious expression.

"etc!"

Lin Na called out to Lu Yuan, sounding very anxious.

Lu Yuan was puzzled and turned to look at her with a puzzled expression.

She immediately lowered her head and stammered, "Lend...lend me some money. I have no money for food..."
