Chapter 309 (2/2)
Lin Xiao smiled and said coolly, ”Very simple. I need you to leave Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls and create a new guild in your name. This guild's mission is not to take over territory. I just need you to silently help Yiyi's Snowy Cathaya and help her achieve her wish.”
Immediately, my heart sank. I never expected Lin Xiao to say such a thing. Hire me at 8 million to build my own guild just to help Lin Yixin turn Snowy Cathaya into the sovereign guild of the China server?
A few minutes later.
”How about it, have you finished thinking?” Lin Xiao looked confidently at me.
I smiled. ”Apologies, I refuse.”
”What, 8 million isn't enough?” Lin Xiao was surprised.
I shook my head and said, ”Uncle, please understand something. I belong to Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, and I won't betray He Yi for money. Also, even if you didn't give me a salary, I would still help Lin Yixin, but not for money. For her!”
Lin Xiao was shocked for a long time. Then he suddenly stood up and looked down at me, saying coolly, ”Good, remember your words. I hope you won't go back on them. Also, it would be best if you didn't have any thoughts about Yiyi. She is someone much more complicated than you can imagine. I will not allow you to touch my daughter!”
Beiming Xue was angry and stood up. She pointed at Lin Xiao and said, ”Hey, how dare you speak so imperiously to my big bro? Who do you think you are?!”
”I...”
Lin Xiao was dumbstruck.
I also stood up and said with a smile, ”Uncle, are you going to leave, or do you hope I will invite you to drink c.o.ke? Or...”
Lin Xiao inhaled deeply, turned and left behind some words. ”Lu Chen, act properly. You are a good youth but not suited to Yiyi. You should know the reason!”
……
Seeing Lin Xiao leave, I suddenly punched the table. Bang. The neighboring couple was startled by the sudden noise.
Beiming Xue said softly, ”Big bro...”
I ground my teeth and said lowly, ”Hmph, so Lin Yixin's father is like this. d.a.m.n, just say that I'm not a good match for your daughter, why beat around the bush?!”
Beiming Xue nodded and then took out her phone. She quickly searched and recited, ”Lin Xiao, the CEO of China's Jiangnan Siqi Corporation. He holds over 70% of the stocks and his net worth exceeds 1 billion. Heavens... Sister Lin Yixin has such an impressive background?”
I sat back down and pulled out my phone to stop at Lin Yixin's name. I hesitated to press and said, ”It's just money. Yiyi may not be willing to accept such a father.”
In my memory, Lin Yixin was a very independent girl. She used gold for her living expenses. For a period of time, she was living in poverty just to quicken her progress in the game. I heard Clear Perfume say Lin Yixin ate instant noodles all the time, even until she was pale white.
……
”Hey, are you still thinking of her?”
Beiming Xue suddenly pushed my shoulder and looked outside. ”Big bro, why don't you call Lin Yixin?”
”Would... that be appropriate?” I asked.
She laughed and glared at me. ”Hey, aren't you usually very casual with her? What, you feel awkward now that you've met her dad?”
”Hm?”
I smiled. Yes, Beiming Xue was right. Calling Lin Yixin was a good suggestion. I could figure out what the situation was with her and her father. That way, I wouldn't be stuck in the middle. I was in an awkward position right now. Lin Yixin and her father were in a cold war, and I was close to Lin Yixin in the game. Thus, I became one side's target. This role was not easy to occupy.
I called Lin Yixin. No one picked up for a long time.
”Is she online?” Beiming Xue asked me.
”I don't know...”
The phone rang and the name ”Wind Fantasy” jumped onto the screen. Lin Yixin had called back quickly!
……
”What is it, Little Cheat?” Lin Yixin asked with a laugh.
I said, ”Yiyi, where are you? At school?”
”No, what is it?”
”I want to see you, is it possible now?” I asked.
Lin Yixin hesitated, and said, ”It has to be now?”
”Yes!”
”Then... come to Zhongbei Road, Second Hospital, and call me then...”
”Why are you at the hospital?”
”Is this your business? Are you coming? I'm only going to wait 20 minutes for you!”
”Coming, I'm on my way!”
……
To help resolve my confusion, I took Beiming Xue and drove Murong Mingyue's A8 to the Second Hospital.
