n“Young Master Lin, please tell me about it.” Liang Yichu was gentle and elegant as he asked.
nLike he had no interaction with Young Master Lin at all.
nEven if they both lived in You City.
nThey met very few times.
nRecently, Lin Fan’s actions had attracted Liang Yi Chu’s attention, and he felt like their ideals linked up so he wanted to get to know him.
nAt the same time, he respected Lin Fan a lot.
nLin Fan dared to do things, while he only dared to think about it but not act.
nThis was the gap between them.
n“I don’t have many good feelings towards your Liang Family. Your brother scolded me so I beat him up. It was a little pitiful, and he lost face.”
n“You look good so scram. Don’t ask to be humiliated in case I ask my cousin to beat you up.”
nLin Fan had no choice.
nYou City only had three aristocratic families. Apart from the Lin Family, there was only the Liang Family and the Yuan Family.
nIf he didn’t fight them.
nHis life would be very boring and lonely.
nThe Liang Family Young Master came personally.
nCould he just not bother about it and ask nothing?
nLiang Yichu’s expression remained the same, and he was only shocked. He wasn’t angry at all and said apologetically, “I know my third brother’s personality, he must have done something overboard.”
n“I apologise for him here and will compensate Young Master Lin.”
nLin Fan looked at Manager Chen.
nAnd then at his cousin.
nAnd then at Gou’zi.
nWhat was going on with that fellow?
nWas he serious?
nOr his words were too normal and not overboard. Logically speaking, when normal people heard that, they would be furious and exasperated.
nWhy was he not angry at all?
nHe didn’t even give a single rage point.
nWas he not angry at all?
nFor some reason, Lin Fan didn’t want to talk to him. He felt that no matter how much he spoke, it would be useless.
n“You are really the Liang Family Young Master?” Lin Fan asked.
nHe felt like it was a little unreliable.
nAlthough he didn’t have much contact with aristocrats, he knew that the people in You City didn’t treat lives really seriously. In terms of personality, they were also a little violent.
nLiang Yongqi was a good example.
nAs the Third Young Master, no one else but him could suppress that arrogant attitude.
nAs the Lin Family Young Master, his was a little fake.
nThe person in front of him truly didn’t do anything. Although he didn’t offend people or get into trouble, he could still be considered a piece of trash.
n“It is the truth.” Liang Yichu smiled.
nLin Fan didn’t ask him to sit, so naturally he wouldn’t. He just stood there.
nIt was just a little annoying.
nA rich family Young Master didn’t have friends.
nHe just wanted to argue with other people and bring his cousin to beat people up as way to enjoy his days.
nToday, this Liang Family Young Master was obviously here to become friends with himself.
nShould he give him a chance?
nHe raised his head and looked towards him.
nLiang Yichu smiled, his smile was more sincere and wasn’t fake at all.
nIf Liang Yichu really had bad intentions, he would definitely be angry when he said those words.
nHowever, he wasn’t angered at all?
n“Sit.” Lin Fan said.
n“Many thanks.” Liang Yichu smiled and sat before saying, “I have heard about what Brother Lin has done recently, and I really respect you.”
nSo he came for this matter.
nHe was right.
nHis reputation was really widespread.
nOther people knowing about him was good, and he had to let it continue.
n“It is just a small matter, and I did it casually.” Lin Fan smiled, and pointed to those refugees, “I look at them and I think about my grandfather; he was also a refugee.”
n“Your Liang Family should also be from refugeesm so you should be able to understand too.”
nHis words were right.
nNo matter how rich one’s family is, a few generations up and they should all be the same.
nLiang Yichu thought about it for a moment before speaking, “Brother Lin, your words make sense. Although my Liang Family has been aristocratic families since before three generations, I can understand the meaning behind your words.”
n“When Grandfather Lin was young, he was poor and couldn’t eat or have good clothes. He helped to build the Lin Family with his bare hands. He is someone I respect.”
nLin Fan was stunned. Those words were a little off.
nWhat did he mean?
nHe said that the Liang Family had always been an aristocratic family, so that meant he couldn’t understand how he felt.
nIf Liang Yichu had the little support system.
nHis rage points would increase by 6,666.
nA direct hit.
nLin Fan didn’t want to continue talking with Liang Yichu as there was no way for them to communicate.
n“Brother Lin, I have thought about the farm taxes for a long time and felt that your method was the best one.”
n“The aristocratic families are readily suppressing the civilians, and this could cause them to rebel. No one is certain that no dragons will rise up from among them.”
n“People like Old Grandfather Lin was a commoner. Although there aren’t many, there had to be a few of them.”
n“Brother Lin probably did such a thing with such considerations at hand, right?”
nLiang Yichu was really certain that this Young Master Lin had great foresight.
nLiang Yichu’s words stunned Lin Fan.
nWhat was he talking about?
nWhat he was talking about was totally not what he was thinking about. He did that as he had nothing to do and wanted to gain rage points.
nAt the same time, it was because he pitied the refugees.
nAs for whether or not dragons would rise up from within them, it had no connection with him.
nHowever, towards his remarks, Lin Fan didn’t retort or say anything. He just drank his tea confidently, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
nHis conjecture was correct.
nHe could continue to do so, and he wouldn’t need to say a single word.
nAt this moment, Liang Yichu was even more certain that the Lin Family Young Master was extraordinary. How would the Old Grandfather Lin have any trash descendants?
nHe hid really deeply.
nHe tricked everyone.
n“Ha.” Liang Yichu sighed and shook his head, “Brother Lin’s method opened a bright path for me. Although I am the Liang Family Young Master, there are some things I can’t achieve and can only think about.”
nIt really was the case.
nThe Liang Family internal struggle was really serious.
n“You can do it when you become the Liang Family Head.” Lin Fan said.
n“Me?” Liang Yichu shook his head bitterly, “I can’t.”
n“One has to be confident. If you don’t try, how would you know that you can’t? Go back and think about it, you will understand.” Lin Fan said and signalled that he could leave.
nHe didn’t like talking to him.
nHe didn’t give him any rage points.
nSo what was the point of even talking?
nHe didn’t even give him a chance to add stat points, so it was really boring.
nLiang Yichu cupped his fists, “Okay, I won’t disturb Brother Lin anymore. Today Brother Lin invited refugees to eat, and I couldn’t do anything, so let me treat them.”
n“Are you sure? This meal is at least a hundred silver.” Lin Fan said.
n“Haha.” Liang Yichu smiled, “I have around ten thousand, so this hundred isn’t a problem. The key is that I enjoyed talking to you. It is worth it, really worth it.”
n“Goodbye.”
nThe moment he said that, Liang Yichu walked down.
nLin Fan looked towards Liang Yichu in shock.
nActing cool?
nHe was indeed acting cool in front of him.
nSince he amassed ten thousand silver, a hundred wasn’t much at all.
nOh my god!
nThe previous time, his father scolded him for just a hundred. Their gap was just so huge!
n“Manager Chen, how much have I saved up over the years?” Lin Fan asked.
nManager Chen said softly, “Young Master, you have no savings.”
nLin Fan was stunned; for the first time, he sensed the gap.
nForget about height.
nForget about looks.
nThe key was that Liang Yichu was richer than him.
nLuckily he didn’t act cool and say that he didn’t look at money when he made friends as no one had more money than him.
nHe nearly lost face.
n“Cousin, I have some savings. If you want I can give you.” Zhou Zhongmao said.
n“How much do you have?” Lin Fan said.
nZhou Zhongmao estimated, “Over these past few years, I saved around two hundred.”
nLin Fan didn’t want to speak.
nBased on what was said, was he the poorest here?
nThe one in need of economic help the most?
