Chapter 15 He’s So Rich, He Doesn’t Lack Soup!

• “Wait…you mean Mr Gu helped us pay everything we owed Ye Yifan?” When she left the church earlier, Lin Xiaoxue thought that the pretty and domineering lady was just using that to stall Ye Yifan, but now it turned out that their debt was actually settled?
• Lin Xiaoxue’s big eyes blinked several times and she thought she was dreaming.
• “That’s right, look – the agreement I signed with Ye Yifan about the debts has been returned to us,” Mr Lin waved a document folder in his hands.
• This was a strange fellow.
• Lin Xiaoxue was deeply grateful for this man who still took the effort to care about her despite lying in a hospital bed.
• “What’s going on? I…” Mrs Lin gulped when she had a sudden thought and grabbed her daughter’s hand in panic. “Xue, don’t tell me you have some shady agreement with that Mr Gu?”
• Lin Xiaoxue shook her head. “No I don’t, I didn’t even manage to talk to him.”
• “Then, how could this be? Why would he help us so much?” The two parents very puzzled by this.
• “Uh…I’ll tell you after we get home.” The elevator came and they went upstairs together.
• -----------------------------------------
• “So that’s what happened.” The parents sat on the sofa bed and listened to Lin Xiaoxue tell them about what happened two days ago when she ran out from the wedding hall and saved Gu Luochen by accident.
• “This Mr Gu is a man who knows how to repay kindness with kindness, and he saved you just in time! If he was just a little later…” Mrs Lin clasped her hands together. “Thank god!”
• “This Mr Gu was so seriously hurt but he could still guess the difficult situation you were in and even made a decision in time, what an amazing man!” Mr Lin did not have much education and he had a modest business, so he knew very little about the Roths family. Besides, since this man’s surname was Gu, he probably wasn’t related to the Roths family.
• But even so, he was still impressed by Gu Luochen’s ability.
• “He bled so much, the bullet hit here and he actually survived – he’s amazing alright!” Lin Xiaoxue said as she pointed to where her heart was.
• “Xiaoxue, since he understands what it means to be grateful, then you have to understand how to be grateful too. He’s in hospital right? So you should visit him more often. When he can take solid food, I’ll make some nourishing soup for you to bring over!” said Mrs Lin.
• Lin Xiaoxue turned and picked up a magazine as she started thinking to herself. While it was true that he helped them to clear their debt, given his social status, it was a pretty good deal to exchange ten million for his own life. She saved him and he saved her, so they were even! The richer or more influential people became, the more they asked of others. Since they were already even, then it didn’t make sense for poor people like them to continue sticking to him, and who knows what he would think of them if they did that.
• People who didn’t know her family might even say that they were trying to take the chance to extort him.
• In the last year, Lin Xiaoxue had seen too many greedy opportunists, and she had learnt her lesson well.
• “Xiaoxue, did you hear what I said?” Her mother’s voice snapped her out of her daze.
• “Mum, I think we’d better not bother him while he’s resting. He’s so rich anyway, he has no lack of soup!”
• “That’s not the point…”
• “Dear, listen to Xiaoxue. He’s very seriously injured and needs a quiet place to heal up, so it’s not nice to disturb him at such a time,” Mr Lin cut his wife off. “Tell you what, after he’s discharged, let’s prepare a nice gift and visit him to thank him!”
• “Ok!”
• Mr Lin continued, “And about that ten million, Miss Ziyan said that we don’t have to worry about it, but that’s our debt after all. I’m already grateful enough that he’s saved Xiaoxue from this terrible situation, so once we’re able to, we still have to return this money to Mr Gu.”
