Chapter 281: I Didn’t Sleep Well

“Look at my memory,” Lin Yi said. “How could I have forgotten about this?”

“It’s fine, it’s fine. It’s not a big deal.”

“You’re right. It’s not a big deal anyway. I still have some things to do, so we’ll talk about it later.”

Huh?

Wang Fang and Chen Yongxin were anxious when they saw that Lin Yi was leaving.

‘If you leave, we won’t be able to see you anymore.’

“Teacher Lin, you have a lot of work to do every day. You’re different from us little people. We’re all here today, so let’s just get it over with. It’ll save you a lot of trouble in the future.”

“Alright then.”Lin Yi said. “Do you have a pen and paper?”

“Yes, yes, yes, I have them here.”

Wang Fang didn’t know why Lin Yi wanted a pen and paper, but she still took them out of her bag and handed them to Lin Yi.

“You don’t have to give them to me. Just take them and write down a receipt.”

“Write down a receipt?”

“Yeah.” Lin Yi said matter-of-factly.

“Didn’t you say that if you want to borrow 200,000 dollars from me. In that case, you have to write down a receipt. Don’t tell me you don’t even understand the rules?”

“This…”

Wang Fang and Chen Yongxin were dumbfounded.

Although it was a loan, neither of them wanted to pay it back.

You’re already so rich, so you don’t need our 200,000 dollars, right?

“Teacher Lin, your family is big, 200,000 dollars is a small amount for you, right?” Wang Fang said.

“Moreover, I’m Wang Ran’s aunt. I’ve watched her grow up since she was young, and we’re family now. Don’t you believe in our character?”

“That might be,” Lin Yi said matter-of-factly.

“But I really don’t believe in your character. You can come back and borrow money when you’ve written the IOU.”

Wang Fang and Chen Yongxin furrowed their brows when they saw Lin Yi’s firm attitude.

They’d spent so much effort to chase her second brother and his family away. What was the point if they still had to write an IOU to borrow 200,000?

“Mom!”

Chen Yongxin pulled Wang Fang aside and whispered, “Write the IOU.”

“What nonsense are you talking about?!” Wang Fang said. “If we write an IOU, we’ll have to pay back the money!”

“Who said we have to pay back the money just because we write an IOU?” Chen Yongxin said.

“Right now we can say Uncle is the one who owes the money. In that case, we won’t pay have to back the money. What can he do to us then?”

“You’re right!”

Wang Fang felt like she was suddenly enlightened. She turned to Lin Yi, “Lin Yi, I’ll write you an IOU right now.”

“Write it.”

Ten minutes later, Wang Fang finished writing the IOU and signed her name before handing it over to Lin Yi.

“Go back and prepare the deed for the mortgage as collateral, then I’ll transfer the money to you,” Lin Yi said.

“But don’t worry, you’re Wang Ran’s aunt. I won’t charge you any additional interest. We’ll just follow the bank’s interest rate. That’s fair, right?”

“What did you say? You want us to use the house as collateral?!”

“What do you think? You want me to lend you money for nothing? Is your head stuck in the door?”

“Teacher Lin, don’t go too far!” Chen Yongxin said with clenched fists.

“Hmm? Too far? How am I going too far?” Lin Yi said. “You want to borrow money, but you don’t want to offer up any collateral. I think you must be dreaming!”

“You!”

“Get as far away from here as you can. Don’t stink up the air.”

Wang Fang and Chen Yongxin didn’t dare to say anything.

Lin Yi wasn’t someone they could mess with, so they had no choice but to swallow their anger and leave the ward.

“Hu…”

Wang Ran let out a sigh of relief. “They’re finally left.”

Lin Yi nodded with a smile. “I’ve chased them away for you. Take good care of your mother here.”

“Thank you, Teacher Lin.” Wang Ran said gratefully. “If it weren’t for you, I really wouldn’t know how to deal with them.”

“Don’t worry about all these things.” Lin Yi said.

“Your goal from now on is to take care of your mother and grandmother. Whether the others live or die has nothing to do with you. Do you understand what I mean?”

“Yes, yes, I understand.”

“That’s all for now. I’m leaving.”

Wang Ran felt a strange feeling in her heart as she watched Lin Yi leave.

Lin Yi’s words were so meaningful. Her father had said something similar to her before.

…

Lin Yi drove to Wangjiang Dock after leaving the hospital. He first checked the construction progress there, then borrowed a boat and went fishing. He didn’t get home until 6 pm.

The next morning, his phone rang at 7 am while Lin Yi was still in a daze.

He thought it was Ji Qingyan, but saw that it was He Yuanyuan.

“Why are you calling me so early in the morning? Are you trying to annoy me?”

“Boss, did you forget? You’ve been served with a subpoena. We have to go to court at nine.”

“Was there such a thing? I forgot about it.” Lin Yi said in a daze. “You guys go first. I’ll come over after I get some sleep.”

“We’re going to court.” He Yuanyuan said. “This is the first court case we’re facing since the company was founded. You have to be more serious.”

“They’re just a bunch of rookies. What’s there to be serious about?”

Lin Yi went back to sleep after hanging up the phone.

He soon bought some breakfast and drove to the Zhonghai No.2 Court.

When he arrived at the entrance of the court, Lin Yi was surprised to see dozens of people standing there.

They were all reporters waiting for him.

He Yuanyuan and Qi Xianzhao jogged over when they saw Lin Yi’s car.

“Boss, there’s a lot going on today. It’s nothing like we expected.”

At first, both of them thought that this would be a private court case. No outsiders would be allowed inside except for those involved.

However, from the looks of it, they had really underestimated their opponent.

This Tianhong Foundation was trying to kill the Lingyun Foundation!

How much hatred did they have for them to have to make such a big fuss?

Did they have to kill their father and steal their wife while they were at it?

Although this matter wasn’t too serious, it was still considered as stealing the Lingyun Foundation’s wife.

Lin Yi was calm as he ate his buns while commenting on He Yuanyuan’s outfit.

“Didn’t I tell you to wear a black silk skirt? Why are you wearing jeans?”

“Did I really have to wear it!?” He Yuanyuan said. “What time is it? Why are you still concerned about this?”

“Master, you must always adopt the mindset of an apprentice. One must never fail to appreciate beauty.”

He Yuanyuan, “…”

“If you really want to appreciate it, go back to see Senior Sister.” He Yuanyuan opened the car door and welcomed Lin Yi.

“Do you want to finish the buns? They are quite expensive.”

“What time is it? You are still in the mood to eat buns? Can you take this seriously?”

“Uh…”

Seeing Lin Yi get out of the car, the reporters standing at the door rushed over like a swarm of bees and surrounded him.

“Mr. Lin, we’d like to know, what do you think of this lawsuit?” A male reporter asked.

“Stupid Tian Hong Foundation, the court session was scheduled so early. I didn’t sleep well at all.”
