Chapter 20 - Nearly lost face
“Young Master Lin, please tell me about it.” Liang Yichu was gentle and elegant as he asked.
Like he had no interaction with Young Master Lin at all.
Even if they both lived in You City.
They met very few times.
Recently, 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.
At the same time, he respected Lin Fan a lot.
Lin Fan dared to do things, while he only dared to think about it but not act.
This was the gap between them.
“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.”
“You look good so scram. Don’t ask to be humiliated in case I ask my cousin to beat you up.”
Lin Fan had no choice.
You City only had three aristocratic families. Apart from the Lin Family, there was only the Liang Family and the Yuan Family.
If he didn’t fight them.
His life would be very boring and lonely.
The Liang Family Young Master came personally.
Could he just not bother about it and ask nothing?
Liang 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.”
“I apologise for him here and will compensate Young Master Lin.”
Lin Fan looked at Manager Chen.
And then at his cousin.
And then at Gou’zi.
What was going on with that fellow?
Was he serious?
Or his words were too normal and not overboard. Logically speaking, when normal people heard that, they would be furious and exasperated.
Why was he not angry at all?
He didn’t even give a single rage point.
Was he not angry at all?
For some reason, Lin Fan didn’t want to talk to him. He felt that no matter how much he spoke, it would be useless.
“You are really the Liang Family Young Master?” Lin Fan asked.
He felt like it was a little unreliable.
Although 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.
Liang Yongqi was a good example.
As the Third Young Master, no one else but him could suppress that arrogant attitude.
As the Lin Family Young Master, his was a little fake.
The 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.
“It is the truth.” Liang Yichu smiled.
Lin Fan didn’t ask him to sit, so naturally he wouldn’t. He just stood there.
It was just a little annoying.
A rich family Young Master didn’t have friends.
He just wanted to argue with other people and bring his cousin to beat people up as way to enjoy his days.
Today, this Liang Family Young Master was obviously here to become friends with himself.
Should he give him a chance?
He raised his head and looked towards him.
Liang Yichu smiled, his smile was more sincere and wasn’t fake at all.
If Liang Yichu really had bad intentions, he would definitely be angry when he said those words.
However, he wasn’t angered at all?
“Sit.” Lin Fan said.
“Many thanks.” Liang Yichu smiled and sat before saying, “I have heard about what Brother Lin has done recently, and I really respect you.”
So he came for this matter.
He was right.
His reputation was really widespread.
Other people knowing about him was good, and he had to let it continue.
“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.”
“Your Liang Family should also be from refugeesm so you should be able to understand too.”
His words were right.
No matter how rich one’s family is, a few generations up and they should all be the same.
Liang 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.”
“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.”
Lin Fan was stunned. Those words were a little off.
What did he mean?
He said that the Liang Family had always been an aristocratic family, so that meant he couldn’t understand how he felt.
If Liang Yichu had the little support system.
His rage points would increase by 6,666.
A direct hit.
Lin Fan didn’t want to continue talking with Liang Yichu as there was no way for them to communicate.
“Brother Lin, I have thought about the farm taxes for a long time and felt that your method was the best one.”
“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.”
“People like Old Grandfather Lin was a commoner. Although there aren’t many, there had to be a few of them.”
“Brother Lin probably did such a thing with such considerations at hand, right?”
Liang Yichu was really certain that this Young Master Lin had great foresight.
Liang Yichu’s words stunned Lin Fan.
What was he talking about?
What 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.
At the same time, it was because he pitied the refugees.
As for whether or not dragons would rise up from within them, it had no connection with him.
However, 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.
His conjecture was correct.
He could continue to do so, and he wouldn’t need to say a single word.
At 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?
He hid really deeply.
He tricked everyone.
“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.”
It really was the case.
The Liang Family internal struggle was really serious.
“You can do it when you become the Liang Family Head.” Lin Fan said.
“Me?” Liang Yichu shook his head bitterly, “I can’t.”
“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.
He didn’t like talking to him.
He didn’t give him any rage points.
So what was the point of even talking?
He didn’t even give him a chance to add stat points, so it was really boring.
Liang 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.”
“Are you sure? This meal is at least a hundred silver.” Lin Fan said.
“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.”
“Goodbye.”
The moment he said that, Liang Yichu walked down.
Lin Fan looked towards Liang Yichu in shock.
Acting cool?
He was indeed acting cool in front of him.
Since he amassed ten thousand silver, a hundred wasn’t much at all.
Oh my god!
The previous time, his father scolded him for just a hundred. Their gap was just so huge!
“Manager Chen, how much have I saved up over the years?” Lin Fan asked.
Manager Chen said softly, “Young Master, you have no savings.”
Lin Fan was stunned; for the first time, he sensed the gap.
Forget about height.
Forget about looks.
The key was that Liang Yichu was richer than him.
Luckily 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.
He nearly lost face.
“Cousin, I have some savings. If you want I can give you.” Zhou Zhongmao said.
“How much do you have?” Lin Fan said.
Zhou Zhongmao estimated, “Over these past few years, I saved around two hundred.”
Lin Fan didn’t want to speak.
Based on what was said, was he the poorest here?
The one in need of economic help the most?
