Chapter 117: Poor and causing trouble, with no relatives to help

At noon the next day, Lin Yang was dragged out by Lin Ying'er.

Outside the biggest mall in town, Lin Yang looked at Lin Ying'er helplessly.

"You brought me here, you have to tell me why."

Lin Ying'er made a face upon hearing that.

"I'm not telling you."

"Then I'm leaving."

Seeing Lin Yang about to leave, Lin Ying'er hurriedly grabbed him.

"Brother, I promised Xiao Xiao I'd get you out; if you leave, I lose my meal."

Lin Yang laughed in exasperation, selling himself out for another meal.

"We can't wait for them out here; let's go inside and find a place to sit."

Hearing Lin Yang agree, Lin Ying'er beamed with joy, linked arms with him, and entered the mall.

As soon as they entered the mall, seeing the dazzling array of goods, Lin Ying'er had no intention of sitting down.

She pulled Lin Yang and ran to the Tissot counter to look at those famous watches.

"Lin Ying'er, Lin Yang?"

A voice called out, causing the siblings to turn.

A woman in her forties or fifties, dressed luxuriously, and a man in his early twenties stood before the Tissot counter.

Lin Yang and Lin Ying'er looked over, thinking for a moment.

"Aunt?"

Lin Ying'er also realized it, and quickly called out to the woman.

"Hello, Aunt."

The middle-aged woman nodded, looked at Lin Ying'er, and said to the man beside her.

"Xiao Kai, this is your female cousin and male cousin."

Tall and slender, Li Kai in a suit gave a dismissive smile.

He said to Lin Ying'er, "Ying'er cousin, you don't have a mental illness, do you?"

"You really need to take your medicine regularly; if you have an episode on the street and hurt someone, that wouldn't be good."

Lin Ying'er, who had been smiling, suddenly stiffened.

She suppressed her anger and remained silent.

Lin Yang furrowed his brows and looked at Li Kai.

"What did you say?"

Seeing Lin Yang displeased, Wan Jia Li chuckled and said.

"Lin Yang, Xiao Kai is still a child; he speaks bluntly, means no harm, so don't take it to heart."

Lin Yang said in a low voice, "He's over twenty; it's time to rein him in."

"If he talks like that in society, no one will indulge him!"

Wan Jia Li looked unconvinced; her son is handsome and talented—does he need your education?

Upon hearing Lin Yang's words, Li Kai sneered.

"What gives you the right to lecture me?"

"Look at how you two are dressed—everything from street stalls—and you dare to shop here?"

His voice was especially loud, drawing many onlookers.

As a girl, Lin Ying'er is naturally sensitive.

Feeling everyone's strange gazes, she also felt a bit frightened and wronged.

"Brother!"

Li Kai saw her like that and gave a contemptuous smile.

"What's the use of calling him brother?"

"Could he possibly buy you something as a gift?"

Lin Yang looked at him and said in a low voice.

"If it weren't for our family ties, I'd have smashed your face by now."

"Tch, you're just a good-for-nothing who only knows how to hit people!"

He adjusted his suit, looked at Lin Yang, and said.

"In the future I'll be going in and out of CBD buildings, mingling with the social elite—do you even deserve to be my relative?"

"Still want to hit me? Believe it or not, if you touch me, I can have the police arrest you and lock you up for ten days or so."

Wan Jia Li smiled and said to her son.

"Xiao Kai, you've been eyeing that watch worth over 100,000; let's just buy it."

"Tomorrow you'll start work at Baihua Group; your future is limitless."

"Don't get angry over people who aren't in the same world as you."

Lin Yang smirked; the Li family's rise had nothing to do with their own father's help.

They faced me with not a shred of gratitude, only sneering and ridicule.

The clerk also looked at the Lin Yang siblings and said in a very official tone.

"Sir, we still need to do business; please don't block our counter."

Li Kai looked at Lin Yang smugly and jeered.

"If you can't afford it, don't stand here; you're like a plague god."

Lin Yang glanced at him, then pulled Lin Ying'er over to a nearby Patek Philippe counter..

He pointed to a million‑grade ladies' watch.

"Take this out and let my sister try it on."

The Patek Philippe staff member also saw what just happened.

"Sir, this one is 1.2 million; are you really sure you want it?"

After hearing that, Li Kai looked at Lin Yang with a contemptuous smile.

"Still trying to pretend to be rich by swelling your face? Ridiculous."

The staff member who was about to leave after putting on the watch also agreed.

"We've seen plenty of people like you; we dread meeting someone like you the most."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Lin Yang produced a card and flung it onto the counter.

"Swipe the card and put it on my sister."

The clerk stared for a moment, then picked up the bank card and swiped it.

She really swiped out 1.2 million, and now her gaze toward Lin Yang was different.

"Sir, this is our Patek Philippe..."

Lin Yang directly cut off his introduction and said to her.

"As long as my sister likes it."

The salesperson hurriedly looked at Lin Ying'er and introduced with a smile.

"Miss, are you satisfied with this watch?"

"Hmm, not bad!"

Saying that, he glared fiercely at Li Kai and his mother.

They, mother and son, were also a bit dazed, watching the impoverished Lin Yang actually produce 1.2 million.

Wan Jiali said: "That must be him sulking, taking out all his money!"

Li Kai also nodded and said: "No wonder, I've heard as much!"

"The Lin family has already expelled those two siblings!"

Just as the mother and son finished speaking, a surprised voice rang out.

"Mr. Lin, I never expected to meet you here!"

Lin Yang turned his head and saw Huang Baoshang.

Only then did he realize that this mall is a property under the Huang family.

"Hmm, I'm here waiting for a friend."

Huang Baoshang smiled and looked at Lin Ying'er, who stood there unmoved.

"Ying'er, your brother bought you such a nice watch—aren't you happy?"

Lin Ying'er shook her head and said: "It's not because of that; I'm disgusted by some people!"

Upon hearing that, Huang Baoshang looked at Lin Yang with a puzzled expression.

Seeing Lin Yang silent, she spoke in a low voice.

"Did you provoke Mr. Lin and his siblings?"

Seeing Huang Baoshang's face darken, she was frightened and hurriedly shook her head, recounting what had just happened.

After hearing that, Huang Baoshang took hold of Lin Ying'er's hand.

"Come on, sister will vent for you."

She pulled Lin Ying'er over to the Tissot counter and looked at the clerk.

"Is it you who looks down on people with dog's eyes?"

The clerk dared not speak; Huang Baoshang delivered a straight slap.

"Someone who looks down on others with dog's eyes, thinking they're something just because they own a hundred‑thousand‑dollar item, acts as if they're above everyone."

"If it were over a million, wouldn't that be like a dog's tail reaching the sky!"

"If you haven't seen it, stay at home; don't come out and embarrass yourself."

This round of indirect criticism made Wan Jiali and her mother tremble with anger.

"Hmph, we won't argue with him!"

Li Kai, fuming, turned to leave.

Watching Li Kai about to leave, Huang Baoshang sneered.

"Do you believe that if you step into the Hundred Flowers Group tomorrow, you'll be fired?"
