The person outside the door was Song Keming.
He was carrying a beautifully packaged box and nodded politely to Wang Qin, "Auntie, you're too kind. Just call me Xiao Song."
"Alright, come in quickly."
Wang Qin's attitude towards Song Keming was almost the polar opposite of Feng Lin's.
Her expression was full of flattery.
When Song Keming entered the villa, he saw Xu Ruoying holding hands with a man.
His face immediately darkened, but the next moment, he recovered and smiled, placing the gift box in front of Xu Chuan.
"Uncle, this is top-grade Biluochun tea that my family just received. I remember you love tea, so I brought you some specifically."
"Too kind of you, please take a seat."
Xu Chuan nodded approvingly, comparing Feng Lin and Song Keming. They were worlds apart.
"Who is this... a relative of yours?"
Song Keming sat on the sofa, his gaze directed towards Feng Lin, his expression still smiling.
Wang Qin quickly ran over and sat next to Song Keming, "Xiao Song, this man is..."
"He's my husband!"
Xu Ruoying said coldly, cutting off Wang Qin's words.
Realizing that she couldn't hide it anymore, Wang Qin immediately explained, "Song Young Master, don't mind. This man is a joke engagement arranged by Xu Ruoying's grandfather in the past. I didn't expect this guy to actually believe it."
"Huh! But we've already got our marriage certificate."
Xu Ruoying held up the marriage certificate. Now seeing Song Keming such a hypocrite, she felt disgusted.
Song Keming's face finally turned cold, "Xu Ruoying, what's wrong with you? Where did I fail you?"
"You have the guts to ask?" Xu Ruoying sneered and grabbed Feng Lin's hand, "Let's go!"
"How dare you!"
Xu Chuan slapped the coffee table, his face filled with anger, "Xu Ruoying, if you dare to leave this house, don't come back for the rest of your life!"
However, Xu Ruoying didn't stop for a second and pulled Feng Lin away with great strides.
Song Keming's face darkened. How could he let another man take the lead in catching his prey?
"Song Young Master! Don't be angry. Without our parents' consent, that guy would not do anything."
Wang Qin quickly came over to comfort Song Keming, afraid that he would hold a grudge.
"Auntie, I'm not angry. But that order, worth three hundred million, was our Song family's intended betrothal gift. I hope you can handle it properly."
Song Keming's words were very clear.
Anyone who wasn't a fool could understand what he meant.
The Xu family's assets exceeded a billion, and this order could increase their wealth by thirty percent.
However, if the Song family could give it, they could also take it away.
The Song family also controlled half of the material supply in Jiang City. If they stopped selling to the Xu family in the future, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Song Young Master, rest assured. We know what to do."
Xu Chuan's face also became serious. The Song family had the power to destroy them.
Wang Qin was right. Their Xu family could not afford to offend the Song family.
...
Xu Ruoying pulled Feng Lin away from the Xu family.
Along the way, she received a text message on her phone. She took it out and glanced at it, her face turning cold.
"What's wrong?" Feng Lin asked curiously.
"All my bank cards have been frozen, and I can't use mobile banking."
Xu Ruoying took out a black wallet from her body, opened it, and looked inside, "I only have a little over two hundred yuan left on me."
"It's okay, I have money."
Feng Lin reached into his pocket and pulled out a few crumpled coins.
There were five-cent coins, one-yuan coins, and three ten-yuan bills.
Seeing this, Xu Ruoying burst out laughing.
She was also surprised. Why did she like laughing when she was with Feng Lin?
"Is it very regrettable? Regret not taking the two million just now?"
Xu Ruoying looked up at Feng Lin.
"Yes, I'm a bit regretful." Feng Lin nodded.
"Hmph! I misjudged you!"
Xu Ruoying pouted slightly and strode forward.
Feng Lin chuckled and followed behind. "Where are we going now?"
"I don't know. I probably can't go back to the villa I was staying in now." Xu Ruoying looked back at Feng Lin. "With the Xu Family and family meddling, I won't be able to find a job in Jiang City."
"You mean, now you can only rely on me to provide for you?" Feng Lin couldn't help but sneer.
Xu Ruoying glared at Feng Lin, "What? You're not willing?"
"I'm just afraid you can't handle hardship. Can you eat lao gan ma (chili sauce) with steamed bread?"
Feng Lin stuck his hands in his pockets and asked with a smile.
"Of course, I can."
Xu Ruoying nodded.
"Remember, my dad has a house in Jiang City. Come with me now. If you consider me as a part of your own, tell me what happened."
Feng Lin hailed a taxi.
But Xu Ruoying waved to the taxi driver with a smile and pulled Feng Lin to take the bus. "What time is it now? Still taking a taxi?"
Feng Lin smiled and didn't say anything.
The two took the bus together to the urban village in Jiang City.
Along the way, Xu Ruoying told Feng Lin everything she saw today.
Feng Lin nodded inwardly, so it was because of this matter.
...
The urban village here is a compound with two houses sharing a yard.
It's like a family compound, with several houses sharing a yard.
Entering the gate, they found the yard well-maintained, with several vegetable gardens planted with vegetables.
The houses here are two on the left and right.
The house on the right obviously still has someone living in it, with blankets hanging on a rope.
The house on the left has very mottled walls.
Feng Lin counted the bricks on the wall and stopped at the nineteenth layer. He took out a key from inside.
"Not bad, Feng Lin!"
Xu Ruoying couldn't help exclaiming. If this urban village is demolished in the future, he should be able to get quite a lot of money.
"Who is it?"
Just then, a man's voice came from the opposite house.
Immediately afterward, a bald man with a machete walked into the yard.
Feng Lin put the brick back in, turned back, and looked at the opposite side.
"What are you doing?"
Feng Lin walked towards the bald man with his hands in his pockets.
The bald man didn't even look at Feng Lin, but glanced at Xu Ruoying behind him.
Such a figure, such a face, even the stars on TV don't have such beauty.
"Damn kid! Don't mess with me, or I'll break you!"
The bald man raised his machete and pointed it at Feng Lin.
Without saying a word, Feng Lin kicked the man's stomach.
Bang!
His body flew backwards, smashing into the door behind him.
Feng Lin walked into the house and saw that there were seven or eight people inside. Only a middle-aged woman was kneeling on the ground, tears streaming down her face.
There were traces of blood on the corner of her mouth.
This is...
Feng Lin remembered seeing her a few times a few years ago. The woman was Tang Ayi, his father's neighbor!
