Chapter 11: No more being poor!

Half an hour later, Lin Yuan rode his bike to Zhou Xinyi's home.

By then it was evening; Zhou Xinyi had likely already gotten off work and returned home.

Zhou Xinyi's home was in an old residential building in Hangcheng.

Lin Yuan rushed up the stairs and arrived at Zhou Xinyi's door.

Zhou Xinyi's door was not closed; through the crack he could hear talking and laughing inside.

Lin Yuan focused— he heard a stranger's male voice.

Lin Yuan peered through the crack…

He saw a handsome, well‑built man holding Zhou Xinyi's hand; the two sat on the sofa, chatting and laughing.

Zhou Xinyi's parents were also chatting with the man.

"Haotian, as long as you two truly like each other, we old folks have no objection. For the engagement, let's pick an auspicious day…" Zhou Xinyi's parents said amiably.

They seemed to be discussing the engagement?

At this moment Lin Yuan felt ironic.

He and Zhou Xinyi had been dating for over three years; he had given her all his money.

Zhou Xinyi had already become engaged to him!

Yet now Lin Yuan actually heard that Zhou Xinyi was going to get engaged to another man?

"Bang!" Lin Yuan shoved the door open and stormed in.

The Zhou family members were startled.

"Lin Yuan?! Why are you coming to my house?!" Zhou Xinyi's face turned icy as she sprang to her feet.

The handsome man also rose, coldly staring at Lin Yuan.

"Zhou Xinyi, we've been together three years; you just brought up breaking up, then turned around and got together with this dog of a man, and now you want to marry him?" Lin Yuan said sarcastically.

"Who are you calling a dog of a man?!" The handsome man flared, stepping forward and grabbing Lin Yuan's collar.

"Lin Yuan! Watch your mouth! His name is Du Haotian, my high‑school classmate—and my current boyfriend!" Zhou Xinyi snapped coldly.

Lin Yuan sneered, "So you two have been secretly together all along, right?"

If they hadn't already been together, how could they have broken up with Lin Yuan and gotten engaged to Du Haotian right away?

Lin Yuan had heard of Du Haotian; half a year ago, when Zhou Xinyi went to a high‑school reunion, it was Du Haotian who drove to pick her up.

Back then Lin Yuan thought nothing of it.

But now thinking back! At that time they were already secretly together!

I've been wearing a green hat for half a year already.

Lin Yuan only just found out.

"That's right, Lin Yuan… Zhou Xinyi has long been my woman, heh… trying to steal my woman— you're not worthy." Du Haotian said coldly.

Lin Yuan chuckled, "Du Haotian, right? What's it to you? Do you like other people's worn‑out shoes? Since you like Zhou Xinyi's pair of worn‑out shoes, I'll give them to you—I won't fight you for them."

Zhou Xinyi instantly flared, "Lin Yuan! Who are you calling a worn‑out shoe?!"

Zhou Xinyi's father, Zhou Weiguo, also shouted angrily, "Lin Yuan! You damn thing! You don't even piss to see your own condition— do you deserve our Xinyi? She works at a bank, earning 100,000 a year! What about you? How much is your monthly salary?"

"Exactly! Look at Haotian— when he visits us he brings Maotai; when you come you bring cheap liquor like Jiannan Chun— that kind of rotten wine you dare give us? You're just a poor good‑for‑nothing!" Zhou Xinyi's mother, Luo Aijuan, added sarcastically.

"Lin Yuan, give up hope— there's no chance between us; you're too poor!" Zhou Xinyi said coldly.

Lin Yuan smirked, "Looks like you really love money? Is money that important?"

Zhou Xinyi retorted coldly, "Money is of course important! Haotian's family runs an import‑export company; they make hundreds of thousands a month. You? You make 5,000 a month? How can you compare?! You have no house, no car— Haotian spends money on me, buying me several LV bags— do you have that kind of money? One LV bag equals half a year's salary for you!"

Zhou Xinyi's parents sneered, "Lin Yuan, you should have broken up long ago! You're not good enough for our family! Besides, the 88,000 bride price you paid— just treat it as a breakup fee for our daughter!"

Lin Yuan heard them and sneered, "Your family isn't already a gold‑turtle son‑in‑law? Still lacking my 80,000?"

"Lin Yuan! You're a big man— giving us 80,000— what's the big deal? Even after breaking up you should give a breakup fee! You unwilling?" Zhou Xinyi's face tightened as she snapped coldly!

Lin Yuan chuckled, "Fine, 80,000 I'll give you. A pair of worn‑out shoes— toss them away, no loss."

Having said that, he turned and left.

"Lin Yuan! You're the worn‑out shoe!" Zhou Xinyi shouted angrily.

"Stand still! Who are you calling a worn‑out shoe?! Apologize to Xinyi!" Du Haotian lunged forward, seizing Lin Yuan's collar.

But Lin Yuan swiftly reversed his hand, twisted it, and performed a grappling move.

"Ah!" Du Haotian's arm was twisted 90°, pain making him scream repeatedly.

Swish! Zhou Xinyi's face changed— "This trash, when did he get such skill??"

"How come I never noticed when we were dating??"

"Lin Yuan! What are you doing?! Quickly let go! Release Haotian!" Zhou Xinyi rushed forward angrily!

Lin Yuan gave a cold smirk, then shoved Du Haotian to the ground…

He turned and walked downstairs…

Standing on the street beside Zhou Xinyi's building.

Lin Yuan took a deep breath, pulled out his phone, and sent a WeChat to Su Monong Fa: 【Su Director, the white‑glove matter—I've thought it over.】

Su Monong soon replied: 【Oh? Do it?】

Lin Yuan replied with a single character: 【Do.】

Lin Yuan had lain low in Hangcheng for three years, yet still hadn't made much money, and his family's debts remained unpaid. His girlfriend also ran off with someone else.

Lin Yuan no longer intends to stay low‑key— since life won't give him a chance to raise his head, he can only let his sharpness show fully!

His shared bike was taken by someone else.

This place is on the outskirts, where taxis are rare.

Lin Yuan could only hail a 'Didi' ride on his phone and wait for the driver to arrive.

Lin Yuan stood downstairs waiting for a ride-hailing car.

But just then, Du Haotian brought Zhou Xinyi's family downstairs.

Du Haotian deliberately brought Zhou Xinyi's family downstairs to show off his newly bought Porsche sedan.

"Uncle, Aunt, my car is parked downstairs, and there are some gifts in it; let me help you carry them up." Du Haotian said.

"Oh Haotian, you're being too polite; just come, why bring so many gifts?" Luo Aijuan said, though she couldn't stop smiling.

This future son-in-law is really thoughtful.

Zhou Xinyi's family came downstairs and saw the Porsche sedan parked downstairs.

They also saw Lin Yuan standing not far away.

"Lin Yuan? Why are you still downstairs at my house?" Zhou Xinyi's face turned cold as she questioned.

"I'm waiting for a ride-hailing car." Lin Yuan replied.

"Tsk, what a poor loser, can't even afford a car." Du Haotian sneered.

"Uncle, Aunt, come... there are gifts in my trunk; let me help you take them out." Du Haotian said, leading them to his Porsche Panamera.

He opened the trunk.

"Uncle, Aunt, come, this is a box of French red wine I bought, and this box is bird's nest. This is my little gift for you." Du Haotian said.

Zhou Weiguo and Luo Aijuan's faces lit up with joy, "Oh Haotian, you're being too polite~!"

The couple were extremely satisfied!

"Haotian, your car must be expensive, right?" Luo Aijuan asked curiously.

Du Haotian said calmly, "Not bad, my Porsche Panamera's on-road price is 1.1 million."

Swish! Hearing the price, Zhou Weiguo and his wife Luo Aijuan were shocked.

"Good heavens?! This car costs over a million?! So expensive!" The couple looked at Du Haotian, becoming even more satisfied!

This is practically a golden turtle son-in-law!

Du Haotian's vanity was completely satisfied at this moment!

He bought this Porsche Panamera with a loan; what was he after? Just this moment's satisfaction!

"Uncle, Aunt, after I marry Xinyi, this car will be her commuter vehicle. I have plenty of cars at home." Du Haotian said.

"Oh Haotian, you're really good to our Xinyi." Luo Aijuan smiled even happier.

With such an excellent golden turtle son-in-law, the Zhou family will prosper in the future.

Zhou Xinyi also clung tightly to Haotian's arm, her beautiful eyes full of affection.

"Uncle, Aunt, let me show you around this car~" Du Haotian, still feeling unsatisfied, simply took Zhou Xinyi's family to tour the Porsche.

Zhou Xinyi's family toured the Porsche sedan, meanwhile casting a cold, sneering glance at Lin Yuan not far away.

"Hey, what a huge gap between men! 1.2 million—some people could never afford this car in a lifetime." Luo Aijuan deliberately raised her voice and said sarcastically.

This remark was aimed at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan not far away also heard it.

But he couldn't be bothered to pay attention to such petty people.

At that moment, Du Haotian was opening the Porsche's door, saying, "Uncle, Aunt, come take a look at my car's interior, sit in and feel it."

Zhou Weiguo and Luo Aijuan got into the car and immediately exclaimed, "This car's interior is truly luxurious!"

Du Haotian's vanity was also extremely satisfied at this moment.

But just then, suddenly from the distant street, a furious engine roar swept over!

"Vroom..." A fiery red Ferrari 488 Pista came roaring!

That Ferrari directly slammed into Du Haotian's Porsche sedan.

"Bang!" A loud crash!

Du Haotian's Porsche door was directly blown off!

"Screech!" The Ferrari came to an abrupt stop.

Du Haotian widened his eyes, unable to believe his beloved car's door had been blown off??

Du Haotian took a while to react, then angrily rushed forward and demanded, "You... how are you driving?!"

Since the other party was driving a Ferrari, their status and background were surely significant, so Du Haotian struggled to suppress his anger, not daring to be too arrogant.

Lin Yuan also stared blankly at the scene??

Wait? He looked at the Ferrari's license plate, and it seemed somewhat familiar?

【Zhe A-52000】?

This car, isn't it Director Su's daughter, Su Zhiyuan's sports car?

At that moment, the car door opened and a stunning figure stepped out in high heels.

She had black long hair draped over her shoulders, wearing an absolutely beautiful and sexy OL professional outfit.

Swish! Upon seeing this Ferrari beauty, Du Haotian's anger instantly dissipated by half.

This woman is too beautiful, her ethereal demeanor—she's a top-tier rich and beautiful lady.

Hmm??

Seeing the woman stepping out of the car, Lin Yuan became even more doubtful??

This woman is not Su Zhiyuan, but the beautiful general manager of Su Group, Yuan Hongli!

Manager Yuan, how could she be driving Miss Su's sports car?

And how could she appear here??

Lin Yuan's face was full of questions??

Yuan Hongli got out of the car, stepping in high heels, and walked straight toward Lin Yuan.

"Yuan Jing..." Lin Yuan was about to shout "Yuan Manager", but he hadn't yet uttered the "li" syllable.

Yuan Hongli suddenly stepped forward, her stunning red lips directly kissing Lin Yuan's face.

At that moment, Lin Yuan froze.

Du Haotian and Zhou Xinyi's family also widened their eyes??
