Chapter 23: The Eyes of Truth; Lin Fan’s True Identity
Zhou Chengjun wanted to treat Lin Fan to a meal to apologize.
However, Lin Fan just wanted to get some medicine to apply on Lin Xiaoyao’s still red and swollen face.
Thus, he rejected her directly.
In the Lamborghini.
Lin Xiaoyao seemed to have just snapped back to her senses and said excitedly, “Brother, when did you learn to fight? The way you taught others a lesson just now was so cool!”
Lin Xiaoyao’s movements were too big when she spoke, so much so that she accidentally pulled her red and swollen face. It hurt so much that her facial muscles started twitching.
“Don’t talk. I’ll go buy you some medicine,” Lin Fan said.
Lin Xiaoyao said, “Medicine? I just have to put some ice on it and I’ll be fine.”
In the end, Lin Fan bought Lin Xiaoyao some medicine and an ice pack.
The two-pronged approach was extremely effective.
When they returned to the Central Hospital of Qing City, Lin Xiaoyao’s face was no longer red or swollen.
At that moment, Lin Fan’s phone rang.
“Mr. Lin, I’m really sorry for today. I’ll definitely deal with the related personnel of Yinshan Mall in Qing City seriously,” Song Zhifeng said carefully.
“There’s no need. Zhou Chengjun did a good job. However, I don’t wish for such a thing to happen again in the future.”
“Yes, yes. Mr. Lin, please rest assured!” Song Zhifeng heaved a long sigh of relief.
After hanging up, Lin Xiaoyao could not help but ask, “Brother, are you really the biggest shareholder of Yinshan Mall?”
“That’s right. So, in the future, as long as you like clothes, you don’t have to care about the price. I, your brother, am not short of money,” Lin Fan said.
Lin Xiaoyao happily kissed Lin Fan on the cheek and said, “Big brother, you’re the best!”
When the two of them arrived at the VIP ward, Lin Tao was walking back and forth in the ward.
Meanwhile, Dai Weixue was folding all the clothes and packing them in the luggage.
“Mom, Dad, what are you doing?” Lin Fan asked.
“I’ve been in the hospital for a long time,” Lin Tao said. “In the past two days, there have been a few regular customers calling to ask when our clothing store will be open again. We’re getting ready to be discharged today.”
“You’re being discharged today?” Lin Fan said worriedly, “Dad, you just had your surgery. You should stay for a few more days.”
Lin Tao said, “There’s no need to. The doctor agreed to let me leave the hospital. If I continue to stay here, this illness will just recover, but I’ll have other illnesses.”
Lin Fan felt that it made sense, so he thought about it and said, “You can leave the hospital, but you don’t have to run the clothing store anymore. I’m planning to buy a villa in Qing City or Jiangbei for you to live in,” he said.
“Don’t, don’t. Our current house is good enough. Why do we need to change to a villa?” Lin Tao waved his hands. “The clothing store doesn’t take much effort. It’s good to be working.”
“Lil’ Fan, we know you’re doing well now, and you want to be filial to us,” Dai Weixue said.
“However, your dad and I have lived here our entire lives, and all our acquaintances are here. We won’t be able to get used to it if we suddenly move to another place.
“Also, your dad and I aren’t very old. If we really stay at home all day and do nothing, it’ll be too boring.
“So, we won’t be moving. The clothing store will still be open. We’ll just run it to kill time.”
Lin Fan said helplessly, “Okay, then. But don’t tire yourselves out. Don’t save on food and clothes either.”
“Don’t worry.” Dai Weixue smiled.
For the next three days, Lin Fan stayed with his parents on Fourth Street.
For the past three days, Lin Fan opened red packets at noon every day. In addition to the cash he earned from sleeping, breathing, and walking for the past three days, he had an extra three million.
At that moment, the balance on Lin Fan’s card had returned to 13.2 million.
Today, Lin Fan was driving his Lamborghini on the road back to Jiangbei after the urging of his parents.
Lin Tao and Dai Weixue’s reason was simple. Lin Fan had been specially recruited to study at Jiangbei University. He could not leave a bad impression on the lecturers, so he could not take such a long leave.
If he was expelled because of this, then it would be too late for regrets.
Lin Fan could not argue with his parents. In addition, his father’s body was really fine now.
Therefore, he had no choice but to return to Jiangbei.
A few days ago, when Lin fan came to Qing City, he was extremely anxious. He drove at his fastest speed and arrived in Qing City in a short time.
Now that he was returning to Jiangbei, he was traveling at a constant speed. It would take a relatively long time.
Lin Fan did not think much of driving a Lamborghini after he got it.
However, after driving the car for a long time, he felt that his back was gradually aching.
“When I’m free, I’ll definitely buy a bigger car,” Lin Fan mumbled.
When Lin Fan returned to the presidential suite of Jiangbei’s Hilton Hotel, it was 12 o’clock sharp.
His phone vibrated, and a red packet appeared.
[Ding! Congratulations, you’ve received 5,000 yuan.]
[Ding! Congratulations, you’ve received 10,000 Yuan.]
…
[Ding! Congratulations, you have received five yuan.]
[Ding! Congratulations, you’ve obtained the skill, Eyes of Truth.]
It was already 12:01.
“When I was in Qing City, all I had was useless cash,” Lin Fan said. “But I got a skill the moment I came to Jiangbei. Is Jiangbei my lucky place?”
As he spoke, Lin Fan turned his attention to the Eyes of Truth.
[Eyes of Truth: 1. Ability to see a woman’s true appearance (full score 100. Note: appearance is dependent on clothing and life). 2. Ability to see a female’s favorability toward the host (full score of 100. Note: choosing a truly beautiful woman and obtaining her heart is what every man should do).]
“Eyes of truth?” Lin Fan repeated. “Interesting.”
…
On the other hand, Qiao Shiya had spent a lot of effort and finally moved all of her brother’s things into Washington Palace.
Then, she dragged her tired body back home.
At this time, his mother, Chen Minfen, came over excitedly and said, “Shiya, hurry up and pack up. You’re going to meet a guy later.”
“Mom, another blind date?” Qiao Shiya asked helplessly.
Chen Minfen saw that her daughter seemed to be a little reluctant, so she said, “This guy is different from Lin Fan! Lin Fan’s family is so poor, but this guy’s family runs a factory. Furthermore, his family has two Mercedes-Benz!”
At this point, Chen Minfen’s face scrunched up due to her wide grin.
Qiao Shiya mumbled, “Lin Fan’s family is poor? Then there would be no rich people in this world.”
“Rich people? Shiya, what are you saying? How is Lin Fan’s family rich?” Chen Minfen said.
Hence, Qiao Shiya roughly explained what had happened a while ago.
Chen Minfen immediately said, “Shiya, you’ve been tricked by that brat, Lin Fan! How could he have a luxury car and an entire building in Washington Palace? I know their family’s situation all too well.
“You don’t know this, but Lin Fan’s father fell sick a few days ago and his mother called to borrow money!
“If Lin Fan’s family really has that much money, why would they come to me to borrow money?”
Qiao Shiya could not help but be a little dazed when she heard her mother’s words.
“Lin Fan’s mother really wanted to borrow money from you?” she asked in disbelief.
“How could it be fake?” As Chen Minfen spoke, she took out her mobile phone and opened her call record.
As expected, one of them was Dai Weixue’s number.
Qiao Shiya immediately understood.
The Lamborghini was indeed rented by Lin Fan.
Also, Lin Fan did not own a building in Washington Palace. He was just asking the employees there to help him put on an act.
Lin Fan wasn’t a godly tycoon at all. He was a complete pauper!
