Chapter 199 – A Wallet I Picked Up
And so, Tang Yin, helpless and cornered, decided to give Lin Yi two options.
She wanted to make things clear- Lin Yi appearing in her house was not something she wanted happening on a regular basis.
If the guy wasnt serious about the whole thing in the first place, then itd be best if he left her alone, instead of bothering her all the time.
If he was serious, then itd make sense to set a time for him: after the final exams. She could focus on her studies in this critical year without outer disturbances, and itd also act as a test of sorts, to see if Lin Yi was actually serious about starting a relationship with her. Needless to say, hed never agree to waiting for months if he werent.
If he did happen to wait for her all those months, then there was no harm in trying it out with him After all, college was a place where real relationships happened- As much as a goody-two-shoes Tang Yin was, even she fantasized about stuff like that.
Lin Yi, on the other hand, wasnt expecting Tang Yin to be making a proposal like that- should he accept, or decline?
He was just about to say something when Tang Yin turned and quickly left in Xiaobos direction.
Lin Yi quickly caught up to her, noticing that shed reverted back to normal, as if nothing had happened. Tang Yin was still Tang Yin, albeit with a tint of shyness now, something that added to her beauty- it touched Lin Yi.
They reached Xiaobo, who was staring at the medical bills in his hands blankly. Lin Yi walked up to him. Xiaobo? Did you finish?
Boss its a ten thousand kuai deposit I dont have enough Xiaobo said, a little embarrassed that he took up the responsibility without the money for it.
Oh? Lin Yi blinked as he turned to Tang Yin. Isnt Fens mom here?
Fens family isnt much better off than mine is- theyve spent a lot on other fees for Fens sickness the last couple years, and they even have debts. Theres no way they just have extra money lying around. Tang YIn sighed. Are you willing to pay for it first? I promise Fens family will give it back to you.
Me? Lin Yi wasnt someone who troubled himself with the affairs of other people, especially not with strangers Lan Fen, however, was someone Xiaobo had fallen for- it was only natural that hed help out.
Yet he didnt have the bank card Li Fu had given him- he had just thrown it in his bedroom drawer, since he didnt spend much money anyway.
Other than the thousand kuai hed been paid with by Sun Jingyi for his shield service, he still had Wu Chentians wallet he could use.
He handed the one thousand to Xiaobo before pulling Chentians wallet out- there were about three or five thousand rmb in there, and the rest were just usd. They were much bigger bills than the rmb ones, including five hundred and even a thousand dollar bill- they werent printed anymore, but were still in circulation.
They were more like collection items than money one would spend- they had to be worth much more than the numbers printed on the bills. No one would spend bills like these.
Evidently, the big dollar bills in Chentians wallet were for the sole purpose of showing off only. Lin Yi had met similar people before- he could tell that the Wus were quite a powerful family.
Lin Yi pulled out all the rmb, handing it to Xiaobo before asking him a question. Ask them if usd is okay.
Xiaobo took the money gratefully before running to the counter. Excuse me, is usd alright?
Yes, but for deposits only. The final bills need to be paid for with rmb. The staff said.
Okay, thanks. Xiaobo sighed in relief before running back to Lin Yi. Boss, usd is good too, but only for deposits.
Kay, here you go. Lin Yi said as he pulled all the one hundred dollar bills out for Xiaobo- they probably wouldnt even recognize the five hundred and thousand dollar bills if Lin Yi handed those over. They might even assume it was counterfeit money.
Couldnt tell that you were this rich- you have usd, even. Tang Yin said, peeking inside Lin Yis wallet. The guyd even claimed that he wasnt a young master- what was all this money, then?
Oh, this wallet you mean? I picked it up from the ground. Lin Yi shrugged.
Picked it up? Tang Yin blinked, a little frustrated at Lin Yis lies- did he think she was an idiot? Picked it up from the ground? Why couldnt she find a wallet like that on the ground?
You can look at the IC in here if you dont believe me. Lin Yi said as he pulled Wu Chentians IC out, waving it about in front of Tang Yins eyes.
Ah? Tang Yins eyes widened in complete disbelief- the wallet wasnt Lin Yis?! The guy really did pick it up! You really did pick it up..? But How can you spend that money?
You told me to pay up first Lin Yi said as he slipped the IC back and dropped the wallet into his pocket.
I Tang Yin didnt know what to say. Shouldnt you give it back to the owner? Hes probably really anxious about it
Ah, the owner isnt anxious or anything. Lin Yi smiled. Its a gift.
Wu Chentian having anxiety over his wallet was the last thing Lin Yi was concerned about- He wouldnt be able to do anything to Lin Yi, anyway, and at the end of the day, the guy deserved it!!
Lin Yi had only taken his wallet because hed done it first, too- hed be in a pretty bad situation if he reported this to the police, and itd be pretty embarrassing if his family found out The Wu family should be a pretty important family, from what Lin Yi had seen.
So Lin Yi decided not to care at all- the guy should be glad Lin Yi wasnt blackmailing him or anything.
Gift? Tang Yin didnt believe that, but the guy had spoken, and it wouldnt be very appropriate for her to continue questioning. She didnt agree with what Lin Yi was doing, but it was an emergency, and Fen needed that money.
After all, Tang Yin had a good idea how things like this went down if the medical fees werent paid for- theyd probably kick Fen out- hospitals werent a charity, after all.
Boss, thank you! Ill return you the money for sure! Xiaobo said excitedly as he walked back to Lin Yi gratefully, receipt in hand. He was right to follow Lin Yi and call him his boss, after all! Who else would, without so much as hesitating, pull out this much money in the same situation?
Return it? Its not that much- forget it. Lin Yi said, not expecting Xiaobo and especially Fens family to be paying that back to him. Hed be fine with just that sum if Fen and Xiaobo had a shot together- it was something hed like to see as Xiaobos boss.
Boss Xiaobo was about to say something else when Lin Yi stopped him.
Go- go see her. Lin Yi said.
Ah, right! Right! Xiaobo nodded. He looked at Lin Yi gratefully before walking away.
