I am not just a tycoon-Chapter 271 - 265: Revenge (Two in One)_2

From the lower leg to the knee, right after....

Shen Yuan "cough cough" once, "Teacher Lih, did you go look at houses today?"

Lih Xiao replied, "We did, we looked at two communities, one of which was one you sent me. But we haven’t seen one yet. I plan to decide after seeing the third one."

"Okay, did you go by yourself, or did Lih Meng go with you?"

It was at that point that Shen Yuan naturally shifted his gaze to Lih Meng, and sure enough, she was looking at him with a sly face at this moment.

Hearing Shen Yuan’s question, Lih Meng lifted her eyebrows and replied, "I went too. Since you didn’t accompany my sister, I had to go with her, right."

As she spoke, her toes stretched further and further up. Shen Yuan struggled not to make any noticeable movements and replied, "I was busy, so that was tough on you."

With a "click," the door to the private dining room’s restroom opened, and Old Lih walked out.

Upon hearing the noise, Lih Meng forcefully kicked once.

Ouch, damn!

A surge of pain hit him. Shen Yuan clenched his molars tightly, almost making a noise.

Revenge, this was blatant revenge from Lih Meng!

Damn it, I definitely can’t let this woman off easy tonight!

Wait for it!

Lih Meng smugly put her foot down. She felt it wasn’t satisfying enough, so she picked up her phone and opened WeChat.

Shen Yuan caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye and thought, you’re playing with fire. So, while Old Lih was pouring drinks, he picked up his phone, switched it to silent, then pretended to glance at it before putting it facedown.

After Lih Meng sent the WeChat message and was wondering why Shen Yuan hadn’t reacted, she looked to the left and realized that Shen Yuan had put his phone screen down, and there hadn’t even been a notification sound.

What a wimp, for real.

Lih Meng silently criticized, but then she felt a secret thrill. She hadn’t expected Shen Yuan to have such a wimpy moment. What about the way you bullied us sisters before?

Shen Yuan pretended as if nothing was amiss as he clinked glasses with Old Lih, all the while enduring the pain. Lih Meng’s kick was truly vicious; had it been a bit harder, there might have been a risk of ending his lineage.

Half an hour later, the meal ended. Old Lih asked Shen Yuan to join him for a smoke outside, but actually pulled Shen Yuan aside for a chat.

Could it be those little movements Lih Meng made were noticed by Old Lih....

Shen Yuan’s mind raced, his expression feigned ignorance: "What is it, Uncle Lih?"

"Shen Yuan, I wanted to talk to you about...."

"Hold on, Uncle Lih, I need to take a call."

Shen Yuan picked up the phone and saw it was Ji Ya calling. He then answered, "You can just call the driver Old Lih, and ask him to put the items in the trunk."

Shen Yuan had asked Ji Ya to make purchases at noon, which was actually to get some local products for the Lih couple.

After hanging up, Shen Yuan smiled and said, "Uncle Lih, aren’t you and Auntie returning tomorrow? I’ve had my assistant prepare some Star City specialties for you: Linwu Duck, chopped hot peppers, Ningxiang Maojian tea. Xiao Xiao told me that Uncle Lih smokes a lot, so I also prepared some foods good for the lungs, like white fungus, honey, and pears. I’ve had my assistant put these items in the Alphard."

"Mm, good."

Old Lih nodded, paused, then added, "Shen Yuan, actually I have something to... "

"Oh right, I also got something for Auntie. I saw she likes gold jewelry, so I had the assistant buy some more of that too."

Shen Yuan keenly sensed an unusual undertone and thus diverted the conversation.

"Um...."

Old Lih was somewhat embarrassed: "Actually, Lih... "

"Don’t worry, Uncle Lih."

Shen Yuan firmly took Old Lih’s hand, sincerely adding, "I know what you want to say, I will definitely take good care of Xiaoxiao, and not let her suffer any grievances. I’m planning to buy her a house with four rooms, so that you both can stay when you visit."

Old Lih was speechless, who the hell told you I wanted to say that? He was intending to discuss Lih Meng’s issue with Shen Yuan, so much so that he even lost sleep over it last night, worried that both his daughters would fall into Shen Yuan’s hands.

Yet, Shen Yuan, this lad, simply didn’t give him a chance to speak, slick as an eel, and with the ready-prepared local products and the proposition of buying Lih Xiao a house, he made it difficult for Old Lih to even broach the subject.

At that moment, the three ladies of the Lih family, having digested, walked out of the private dining room. Shen Yuan purposely raised his voice: "Uncle Lih, was that what you wanted to talk about just now?"

Lih Shenghua internally cursed, but could only show a kind smile on his face: "Yes, I hope you and Xiaoxiao take good care of each other, with mutual concern and love."

Lih Xiao just stepped out of the private dining room and heard Old Lih’s words, feeling somewhat touched: "Dad, thank you."

Lih Shenghua gave an awkward laugh, thanks for what, I was coerced into saying it. Discover exclusive tales on novelbuddy

"Well, let’s go then."

Shen Yuan inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.

He could roughly guess what Old Lih wanted to talk about; if it wasn’t for Lih Xiao, it could only be for Lih Meng.

Old Lih might have noticed something, but couldn’t be sure, and it was inappropriate to discuss it with his daughter, so he wanted to give himself a heads-up.

But the moment he brought it up, Shen Yuan would have to promise or commit, and if things ever really came to light in the future, it would surely be used against him, so it was best to gloss over it.

When it comes to investigation, Shen Yuan could never beat Old Lih, but as for maneuvering, Old Lih was no match for him on his best day.

Shen Yuan accompanied Old Lih and Loo Zhen to the Alphard, opened the trunk, and showed them the purchased specialties.

Other than the gold items and tea, none of the products were expensive; it was mainly about expressing sentiment.

However, in Loo Zhen’s eyes, the gold jewelry was all that mattered. A joyful expression appeared on her face, and the look she gave Shen Yuan was even more satisfied: "Shen Yuan, you’re thoughtful."
