When Lin Fan saw this, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Of course, his heart was still hurting. However, since he had already made his choice, there was no way he would regret it. After all, he had already put on the act. How could he just take it back?
That would be too embarrassing!
Duan Chuan asked unhappily, “What’s wrong with this kid? He was treating me respectfully before. How did you make him seem like a completely different person with just one sentence?”
In reality, Duan Chuan had long wanted to ask. He had thought about it himself, but he had never figured it out.
“Well, he figured it out himself,” said Lin Fan.
Guo Zhen refuted, “Brother Fan was the one who taught me. He taught me to make use of my honest appearance. When facing an elder or an enemy that I can’t resist for the time being, I have to first confuse the other party. Then, I can make the other party have a good impression of me. Facing a simple and honest person, it’s easy for them to lower their mental defenses and forgive me. This way, I can scheme against them easily.”
Lin Fan said, “I didn’t teach you. You figured it out yourself. I was just giving you some pointers. It’s your own talent.”
Guo Zhen: “No, it’s all Brother Fan’s credit. I’m still too stupid.”
They smiled at each other.
Duan Chuan: “…”
This time, Duan Chuan felt really uncomfortable!
He knew it!
How could a simple and honest person become Lin Fan’s good friend?
It was impossible for him to be foolish after being bullied by Lin Fan for so long.
‘F*ck!’
They had a good relationship and one of them was even an old schemer. He just looked honest on the outside.
He had to admit that he had been fooled. He could not tell at all, and he could not figure what had happened.
Duan Chuan took another look at little fatty Guo Zhen. Guo Zhen smiled in return at Duan Chuan, appearing simple and honest, looking harmless.
Who could see through such a disguise?
That was unless one reached the highest level of being able to hear the voice in his heart directly.
…
On the other side, the Han family.
Han Bing was stunned when he saw Han Miaotong bring the items back.
What was going on? Did she not manage to find him?
Han Miaotong looked at Han Bing and said angrily, “Dad, you really look down on Lin Fan too much. Don’t do such insulting things in the future. I really can’t afford to lose face like that.”
Han Bing: “????”
How did he look down on Lin Fan?
He really valued Lin Fan!
He had even allowed his outstanding daughter to take the initiative to pursue him so that he could become his son-in-law. Was this called looking down on him?
Han Bing was not angry. Instead, he was curious about what had happened. “Tongtong, tell me what happened first.”
Although Han Miaotong was unhappy with what he had done today, he was still her father. She started to explain, “I found Lin Fan’s place, knocked on the door, and entered Lin Fan’s house. I found that Teacher Duan Chuan and Guo Zhen were both there…”
“Wait.”
Han Bing suddenly interrupted, “You’re saying that Duan Chuan and Guo Zhen are both at Lin Fan’s house?”
“Yeah!”
“Why are they there?”
“How would I know? I didn’t ask. Besides, Teacher Duan Chuan and Lin Fan have a good relationship. Guo Zhen is also Lin Fan’s friend. Isn’t that normal? Dad, do you want to hear what I am going to say or not?” Han Miaotong was a little angry at being interrupted.
“Oh, go on.” Han Bing rubbed his chin. Was this normal?
According to their relationship, it was normal. However, they had gone to his house so early in the morning, making it seem abnormal.
Furthermore, they had gone to visit early in the morning immediately after the day of the incident. They obviously had the same intentions. Basically, they had also gone to deliver resources.
After all, he had also made the same decision and asked his daughter Han Miaotong to bring resources to visit Lin Fan early in the morning.
If they were to immediately give the resources to him yesterday, that would make them seem too utilitarian! That was why they had to wait for a night.
But he did not expect someone to be faster than him!
Han Bing muttered to himself, “Duan Chuan and Guo Wen Tao are all not simple people.”
He knew a little about Duan Chuan’s background through some channels. He was once a genius but seemed to have been involved in some conflicts between the upper echelons of the human race, causing him to become a sacrifice in the end.
As for Guo Wentao, Han Bing could not help but sigh in his heart. This fatty was truly a smart person. He did not get angry at Lin Fan yesterday, nor did he take any revenge afterwards. The most important thing was that he had allowed his son to come into contact with him so quickly.
If he were to replace Guo Wentao and experience what he did, he would still have to recuperate and recover his mental wellbeing for a few days before making any decisions.
Han Miaotong continued to speak. After all, nothing had happened. The main thing was the final rejection. “I could tell that Lin Fan was very tempted, but in the end, he stood up and turned his back to me. He said something that I couldn’t forget for a long time: A gentleman shouldn’t take resources from others.
His tone was calm, but I knew that in his heart, he definitely wasn’t. His fists were clenched tightly and his body was trembling. He was trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart. I understood that he wasn’t angry at me because he was thinking about our friendship. However, I could feel the huge fluctuations in his heart…” As she said that, Han Miaotong’s face showed a hint of shame and self-blame. She was angry at herself for her actions today.
“Father, you have really belittled him. His personal character is the most outstanding person I have ever seen in my life. Such a person is worthy of being my goal.” Han Miaotong finally calmed down, but her eyes were filled with respect and passion as she said loudly, “I’m going to cultivate!”
After saying that, she left without looking back. Right now, only cultivation could calm her down and prevent her from being left behind by Lin Fan.
After all, even though Han Bing didn’t say much to her yesterday, she was smart and could roughly guess how outstanding Lin Fan was. Even though she had awakened the water elemental talent, she was still lacking by quite a bit. Therefore, she needed to work harder.
This was her true self. She would never be discouraged. This was also how she was like during the three years in high school. She worked hard just to catch up to Lin Fan, hoping to surpass him.
Her goal had never changed. In the past, it was written exams. Now, it was cultivation.
Han Bing stood there dumbfounded.
To be honest, when he heard Han Miaotong mention the process of Lin Fan rejecting her, he was shocked.
“That kid actually has such a noble character?” Han Bing was in disbelief and even a little skeptical.
After all, the impression Lin Fan left on him yesterday was that he was very smart. He had the feeling of a little fox. His train of thought was very mature.
Han Bing was quite generous and had given resources worth a million yuan.
He had a complete understanding of Lin Fan’s background. It was precisely because he understood Lin Fan’s background that he was even more shocked. Lin Fan was really poor. After all, he was an orphan and a student. Other than some financial aid from the country, the most he received was some living allowances from scholarships. He didn’t have any other income.
Given such a circumstance, how many people could reject resources worth a million yuan?
The most important thing was that this amount of resources was extremely important to Lin Fan.
Did Lin Fan not know the importance of this period before entering university?
This question popped up in his head but was quickly dismissed by Han Bing. If it had been before, he would have thought so, but now he did not.
This was because Duan Chuan was also with Lin Fan. Since Duan Chuan took the initiative to give him resources, he would definitely talk about these things to let Lin Fan understand them.
Lin Fan’s talent was worthy of Duan Chuan’s investment.
Therefore, Lin Fan definitely knew how important these resources were to him and his future.
But even so, Lin Fan still rejected it!
This made him doubt his life.
He had asked Han Miaotong to send the resources over. He had never thought that Lin Fan would reject it.
According to his original plan, this step was to express goodwill. It was a very crucial step. He had even thought of further steps in the future to improve Lin Fan’s relationship with Han Miaotong. He wanted to further invest in Lin Fan. The stronger Lin Fan was, the better it would be for the Han family.
However, he had never imagined that he would fail at the first step. This left Han Bing dumbfounded.
