The Beauties Help Me Become the No.1 Official-Chapter 1208

Chapter 1208: Chapter 1208
"How can you joke about our relationship like this!"
In the room on the eighth floor, Shen Shiyao angrily stared at Lin Yifan, who was leaning against the head of the bed.
The drinking party just now was simply too absurd.
Lin Yifan, on the other hand, looked relaxed, playing with his phone and said.
"Your third uncle has been making things difficult ever since he walked in. I know he despises me from the core, so why not make it clear?"
"He’s unreasonable, but you can’t just give up like this. They are snobs, but I’m not. Do you really need to use this method to force me to leave?"
Shen Shiyao stared at Lin Yifan, filled with grievances.
Just when there was a spark between them, how could he act like this?
Lin Yifan sat up, reached out, and took Shen Shiyao’s delicate hand and said.
"Who said I’m forcing you to leave? I’m doing this to make him not dare to interfere with us in the future: that’s why I made this bet with him."
"Do you mean you’re going up the mountain to dig ginseng again?"
Shen Shiyao looked at Lin Yifan with curiosity.
"Do you think it’s like digging for carrots? Such decades-old wild ginseng is incredibly rare."
Lin Yifan shrugged and said.
"And yet you’re still gambling. Your third uncle may only be a deputy director, but he has received quite a bit of profit over the years; he has millions. What if you can’t come up with that much money in three days? No way, I need to go talk to my big uncle."
Shen Shiyao pouted, turned around, and started walking out.
Lin Yifan did not hurry to explain but dialed a number instead.
Soon, a somewhat aged voice came through from the other side.
It was none other than the feng shui master who appeared at noon today.
"Grandpa Zhang, it’s been years since we last met. I didn’t expect you’d become an honored guest of the Li Family and even offer to read my fortune."
Li Fengnian could never have imagined.
This sage well-versed in I Ching was once a close friend of Lin Yifan’s grandfather.
He watched Lin Yifan grow up.
"Yifan, I never expected to see you intertwined with the Li Family. You must be very cautious; the Li Family has considerable economic power, known even in the Three Eastern Provinces, and this Shen Shiyao isn’t simple."
Master Zhang said with a smile.
"I noticed, but this is merely the power of Shen Shiyao’s mother’s family. I feel her father’s family might be even more powerful. Do you have any inside information to share?"
Lin Yifan rubbed his chin and said.
He always had an inexplicable feeling about Shen Shiyao.
As a volunteer teacher, her wealth exceeded imagination.
"I don’t have any leads. I only know that twenty years ago, the Li Family was just a small family. They could quickly rise after Li Yulan got married, though Li Fengnian never admitted it. It’s guessed that behind the Li Family lurks the Shen Family, but what their true background is, I can’t discern—it’s even more frightening."
"Yes, these mysterious wealthy people really are unsettling. I’m only able to confirm that Shen Shiyao is a blank slate. Even if she’s being used, she’s completely unaware. Since no one’s revealing their cards, I’ll just play along and pretend to be ignorant, see if it’s a false alarm or if someone is hiding their true motives."
After some idle chat, Lin Yifan hung up the phone.
As a Soul Suppressing Man, there were so many things he had to guard against.
Especially Shen Shiyao. As a wealthy heiress suddenly appearing in the remote Taoyuan Village - it was too odd.
...
"Big uncle, didn’t you promise me not to bring third uncle? You’re breaking your word!"
In the suite on the top floor, Shen Shiyao pouted and angrily stared at Li Fengnian.
Li Fengnian smiled without speaking, but Li Fengrun couldn’t hold back.
"Shiyao, some things must be clearly seen. You know, you are the only daughter my sister and your parents have. If something happens, how could we face my sister? You chose to pass on being the Tang Family’s Young Madam and picked a simple mountain villager instead. Third uncle is only worried you’ll be deceived."
"I chose this person. Even if I’m deceived, it’s my business, not yours. You completely messed up a good dinner party. You’re just deliberately making me uncomfortable. I hate you."
Shen Shiyao’s beautiful eyes shimmered with tears.
Staring angrily at Li Fengrun.
Seeing this, Li Fengnian hurriedly spoke.
"Shiyao, don’t be mad. Although your third uncle is overboard, he’s concerned for your welfare. Your parents have protected you too well over the years. You don’t know how money can make people devious, so you must be cautious of anyone who approaches you and understand their intentions."
"Lin Yifan isn’t as you describe. When I faced a black bear, he risked his life to protect me. I’ll never forget what he did; he’s my savior. What you did is truly excessive."
Shen Shiyao cried out, teary-eyed.
"We’re just trying to safeguard the Shen Family’s assets. Don’t forget, the Shen Family didn’t rise to today solely by your father but through the hard work and efforts of generations. Therefore, your feelings and marriage cannot even slightly damage the Shen Family’s interests—they involve more than just you."
Li Fengnian sighed, walked over to Shen Shiyao.
"I know you’re aggrieved, but being born into such a family means understanding that the Shen Family’s vastness affects not just your third uncle and me but countless families like the Li Family. Thousands of lives hinge on your shoulders. If you act on impulse, all relatives will suffer."
"Why can’t I just be like regular people?"
Shen Shiyao increasingly felt aggrieved the more she spoke—she simply wanted a normal romance like others.
"Because your surname is Shen—it’s destiny. But I have felt that this young man is not ordinary. His ridiculous-looking bet masked by a strong sense of confidence. I’m finding it harder to read him."
Li Fengnian frowned, feeling that Lin Yifan had already secured victory.
"Big uncle, do you mean Lin Yifan is really exceptional?"
When she heard her big uncle’s suggestion, Shen Shiyao’s eyes sparkled.
"Big brother, Shiyao, you’ve misjudged this time. This youngster has merely put on a semblance of bluffing, using failure’s probability to back out gracefully—I don’t believe a villager can miraculously earn millions in three days."
Li Fengrun smirked; his assets weren’t ones Lin Yifan could earn overnight.
"Then let’s wait and see. After all, three days will pass quickly, and I am eager to see what he’s up to."
Li Fengnian sighed; at over fifty, he still couldn’t fathom Lin Yifan.
Just how vast is this Buddha statue?
