Chapter 671: Little Li Tries to Steal a Chicken but Ends Up Losing the Rice

~7 min read 1,315 words

Pauper!

Hole!

What kind of vicious words are these? Sun Zhiqing flew into a rage upon hearing them—back then she, Sun Zhiqing, was also someone who possessed hundreds of millions in assets; it's not like she hasn't seen money before.

How dare a cripple come and humiliate me!

She coldly replied: "Your money, you'd better keep it for yourself. After all, you're a disabled person—you need it more than I do! Besides, I think your son isn't qualified to sit in the same classroom as my son; please have the decency to handle his transfer procedures and get him out of this school."

"Yingyu Xuexiao is your family's school—you can expel whoever you want, huh?" Li Hengbo chuckled lightly.

Upon hearing that, Lin Dongfan merely glanced at the Principal indifferently, saying nothing.

The Principal immediately reacted as if he'd been touched.

He instantly grasped the superior's intention!

The Principal solemnly notified Li Hengbo: "Mr. Li, given your son's performance, he is indeed unsuitable to continue studying at our school. To avoid hindering his future, please have him withdraw and find another school."

"Surname Yu, you're playing the old 'break the bridge after crossing the river' trick, aren't you?!" Li Hengbo's emotions ultimately still lost control, he shouted angrily at the Principal: "I donated thirty million to your school—enough to build a whole new school! And you actually want to kick my son out?! What kind of logic is that?!"

The Principal responded neither humbly nor arrogantly:

"When you originally donated thirty million to our school, it was because you wanted to contribute to education, to do your bit—you forgot the speech you gave at the donation ceremony?"

"As for your son being advised to withdraw, that's because his conduct is improper and he repeatedly violates school rules."

"Your son's rule-breaking and your contribution to education are two separate matters—like well water and river water that don't mix; how can they be lumped together?"

"Could it be that you donated money just to keep your son from being expelled by the school?"

I don't think so.

Your vision couldn't possibly be so narrow.

This summer is a bit hot, even though the office air conditioner keeps the indoor temperature at a steady 26°C, Li Hengbo still broke out in a cold sweat, plus an invisible black line on his forehead.

Who am I?

Where the hell am I?

What the hell have I been through?

Why do I feel a faint sadness?

These questions suddenly popped into Li Hengbo's mind, turning him instantly into a confused, lost soul fluttering in the wind.

Li Hengbo pondered painfully for a while.

He ultimately reached a heart-wrenching conclusion—before power and status, wealth is worthless!

Too bad this isn't the feudal era where offices were bought and sold; if it were, with this vast wealth, even having been imprisoned wouldn't matter—you'd at least have to donate for a high-ranking official post holding real power.

Li Hengbo threw the two stacks of cash back into the safe.

He casually closed the box.

He turned and walked away, saying: "Lin Dongfan, we'll meet in the jianghu!"

"You scared me, big philanthropist—want to shower some gold coins to comfort my wounded little spirit?" Lin Dongfan asked with a squinting smile.

Li Hengbo suddenly jumped up as if he'd taken stimulants, whirling around angrily.

He turned back and opened the safe.

He grabbed bundle after bundle of bills and hurled them at Lin Dongfan: "You want comfort? I'll comfort you! I'll comfort your mother! I'll comfort your wife! I'll comfort your daughter! I'll comfort your whole family…"

With each curse, he threw another handful of bills at Lin Dongfan.

Until all the million in cash inside the box had been flung out, he still wasn't satisfied; he then picked up the safe and hurled it at Lin Dongfan: "Take the box too—consider it comfort for your ancestors, all eighteen generations!"

While the money was being thrown, Lin Dongfan stood still without moving.

He quietly enjoyed the moment of the cash shower.

But when the safe came flying at him, Lin Dongfan indeed caught it with one hand, and he chuckled: "Thanks for the big spender, you can scram now."

May your whole family ascend to immortality soon!

Li Hengbo dumped his rage, limping away on his injured right leg in anger.

Bodyguard He Qixing hurried after him: "Boss, your cane…"

"'Stuff your cane! I'm not crippled!' When He Qixing handed over the cane, Li Hengbo angrily swatted it away, fuming."

Xu Yaqiu took her son's hand and hurried after them.

Xu Yaqiu, utterly unwilling.

As they walked, she asked: "Really going to transfer my son? We've donated so much money—if we can't even secure a school place, then our donations are worthless! Tear down that experimental building…"

Shut up!

You're useless, and you won't even let me speak? Not being able to keep your son's school place is bad enough, but earlier you acted like a total fool, throwing a million at Lin Dongfan—you must be possessed!

!!!

Upon hearing the two words "stupid ass", Li Hengbo nearly vomited blood from anger.

Upon reflection, he really did seem a bit stupid—how could he not control his emotions? Damn it! One slip-up and it seemed he'd been played again by Lin Dongfan, that damned monkey.

From today on, whoever mentions the three words "big fool" again, I'll rip his mouth off!

Passing the experimental building, Li Hengniu stopped his steps and gazed, his face full of faint sorrow. That seven-story building stood like a towering mountain atop his head.

The characters emblazoned on the mountain seemed not to read "Experimental Building" but rather the conspicuous "Big Fool".

Elsewhere.

After Sun Zhiqing settled her son, she also accompanied Lin Dongfan out of the school's administration building. But they didn't leave the school right away; instead, they strolled along the tree-lined path beside the playground.

Sun Zhiqing smiled with relief: "I thought you wouldn't come, but you did—aren't you afraid people will question our relationship?"

"'My son is about to be kicked out of school; if I didn't come now, I'd truly be a person devoid of responsibility.' Seeing no one around, Lin Dongfan couldn't help lighting a cigarette."

Sun Zhiqing probed: "Now that you've left officialdom, with no constraints binding you, have you ever considered acknowledging Murong Lin as your son?"

!!!

Lin Dongfan took a sullen drag on his cigarette, not answering the question.

Sun Zhiqing also seemed to understand Lin Dongfan's meaning, and instantly felt a bit dejected: "I understand, you're afraid that my and Mulin's appearance will ruin your relationship with Chu Lingxi."

"Don't bring up these mood-killing things."

Lin Dongfan said while walking: "That one million Li Hengbo just threw down, take it back first to subsidize your living. Even the money in your bank, I'll help you settle the accounts later. As long as you behave yourself and raise the child well, I'll give you mother and son a monthly living allowance."

"Hmm."

With Lin Dongfan's promise, Sun Zhiqing instantly felt her pressure ease considerably.

She said sincerely: "To be honest, I never even hoped you'd acknowledge Mulin as your son right now. But rest assured, I will certainly raise him to be talented, guaranteeing he won't bring disgrace to the Lin Family in the future."

"I believe you can do it."

In Lin Dongfan's eyes, Sun Zhiqing was never a woman who lacked sense of propriety; she was, after all, a miss from an official family, having received a good education since childhood.

She is absolutely not comparable to the likes of Xu Yaqiu.

Lin Dongfan added: "Li Hengbo is a petty person who repays grudges; from now on, when you and Mulin go out, you need to be extra careful about safety. Later I'll assign two bodyguards to take care of picking up and dropping off Mulin at school."
