Chapter 523: Does He... Really Like Me?
Lin Fan kicked Li Wei ruthlessly until his face was unrecognizable and covered in blood. Only then did Lin Fan retract his foot, wiped the blood off his shoe on the ground, and clapped his hands simply.
However, when Lin Fan turned to look at the residents of the Poverty Area, he saw that they all stared at him with wide eyes, as if they were seeing a monster, with a hint of terror in their eyes!
Lin Fan was taken aback, curious as to why they were looking at him like this. But when he turned to look closely at Li Wei's face, he nearly kicked him away with a flying kick, shouting, "What kind of monster is this!"
At this moment, Li Wei's face was no longer human; it was swollen like a cooked pig's head, with his nose and eyes twisted together beyond recognition, covered in blood. If he stood on the street at night, people might think there was a "biohazard"!
Among the crowd, only Yang Feng looked relatively calm. Knowing the truth of the matter, Yang Feng didn't like Li Wei either. Even if Lin Fan hadn't intervened, he wouldn't have let Li Wei off the hook.
"Mr. Lin, how should we handle him?" Yang Feng asked.
"This punk's background is definitely not clean. I'll leave it to you to handle him," Lin Fan said indifferently.
"Understood!"
Yang Feng understood that Lin Fan meant to completely ruin Li Wei, so he said, "If Mr. Lin has nothing else, I'll take my leave."
"Take good care of Mr. Li and Director Liu for me," Lin Fan said with a slight smile.
"Understood!"
Yang Feng nodded heavily. Seeing the cruel curve at the corner of Lin Fan's mouth, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead. He swore to himself that no matter what, he would never provoke the "Tyrant"!
To anger him meant not just death, but a fate worse than death!
Yang Feng hesitated no more and left the place, dragging the unconscious Li Wei like a piece of garbage!
Afterward, Lin Fan walked over to Qiu Ruohan. She was stunned by Lin Fan's earlier scene of beating up someone, her face pale, after all, she was as pure as a blank sheet of paper and had never witnessed such a scene!
"Alright, it's over," Lin Fan lit a cigarette, putting it in his mouth with a gentle smile.
"Ah? Ah... Lin, are you okay?" Qiu Ruohan finally snapped back to her senses and asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, I'm fine," Lin Fan shrugged with a smile.
Qiu Ruohan finally breathed a sigh of relief and curiously asked, "Lin, why did you come here?"
"I had just gone to the beauty salon and found out about this. I say, Sister Qiu, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing? What if you got hurt? Don't you know how important you are to me now?" Lin Fan pretended to be angry.
But as these words fell into Qiu Ruohan's ears, they changed meaning.
"He... is he concerned about me? Am I... actually this important to him..."
Thinking of this, a blush swept across Qiu Ruohan's delicate face. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Lin Fan, looking like a shy rose.
Seeing Qiu Ruohan's shy demeanor, Lin Fan was full of curiosity. He meant her importance was because she was the owner of the beauty salon, the center of it, so why was she blushing?
Just that Lin Fan didn't know, women are natural dreamers, and any words that fall in their ears can create countless flavors and scenes.
"Sister Qiu, why are you blushing?" Lin Fan asked curiously.
"Ah? I... I'm not blushing," Qiu Ruohan was taken aback, quickly covering her face with her hands like a startled little bunny, full of a small and cute charm.
"Okay! Things are settled, and the Poverty Area indeed needs to be rebuilt, the houses are almost becoming dangerous buildings. Pack up, and I'll take you somewhere," Lin Fan said with a smile.
"Ah? Lin, where are you taking us?" Qiu Ruohan blinked her curious big eyes and asked.
"Taking you to live in a new home! Call Mother, bring your valuables, leave everything else," Lin Fan said.
"New house? Lin, I..."
Just as Qiu Ruohan was about to decline, Lin Fan interrupted her: "Now the Ruofan Beauty Salon is the first beauty salon in East Sea. As the owner, you're the symbol of the salon. If people found out you were sitting here, wouldn't it damage our salon's reputation?"
Lin Fan knew that if he forced the girl to move, she would definitely disagree, so he had to use this reason.
"Oh... okay then! I'll go pack with my mom," Qiu Ruohan bit her lip and agreed. She had always followed Lin Fan's words to the letter.
Afterwards, Lin Fan and Qiu Ruohan returned to the doorstep of her house, only this time, parked outside was not the Ferrari Lin Fan gave her, but an ordinary Golf.
Lin Fan was a bit stunned and said, "Sister Qiu, why aren't you driving the Ferrari I gave you?"
"I heard that car is very expensive to maintain. I think the Golf is great, fuel-efficient, and eco-friendly, besides... it was a birthday gift from Lin, so I want to keep it well preserved."
Qiu Ruohan playfully stuck her tongue out at Lin Fan and then happily ran into the house.
Watching her lively back, Lin Fan couldn't help but smile. Even though she was earning a top salary in the country every year now, she was used to living a frugal life and couldn't adapt to extravagant lifestyles.
Of course, this was also what attracted Lin Fan the most. If Qiu Ruohan, with money, became arrogant like those nouveau riches, Lin Fan would not help her so much.
The authentic simplicity and staying true to oneself exuding from Qiu Ruohan, in this materialistic world, was the most valuable, like feeling refreshed and flavorful with a plate of simple tofu with green onions after eating rich food!
Then when the neighbors heard Qiu Ruohan was moving, they all came to help, happily wishing Mrs. Qiu well.
"Oh! Mrs. Qiu, is this young man Qiu Ruohan's boyfriend?" a neighbor teased, looking at Lin Fan with some envy.
Mrs. Qiu, the most straightforward, didn't know how to respond, so she just stood there grinning foolishly, full of simplicity.
"Oh my! Mrs. Lin, what are you saying, this is my brother Lin," Qiu Ruohan explained embarrassedly, blushing.
"You silly girl, do you think Mrs. Lin is too old to understand? He even came to help you move, isn't that clear yet?" The neighbor called Mrs. Lin joked with a chuckle.
"Exactly, exactly! Our Han has been the village flower since she was a child. I've always said she is a fortunate child, and now you see, what I said has come true."
"Han, when you get married, don't forget to come back and tell us uncles and aunts, so we can have a drink at your wedding feast."
Some older folks gathered around Qiu Ruohan, teasing her.
Qiu Ruohan blushed from the teasing, her neck flushed with a pink hue like it was about to bleed, looking very cute!
She sneaked a glance at Lin Fan leaning against the car smoking, her beautiful eyes filled with a sweet look, but thinking of this god-like man, she couldn't help but feel a sense of inferiority!
"Am I worthy of Lin? Does he... really like me?"
Qiu Ruohan silently pondered!
