Chapter 12 She Has Her Pride

Gu Yajing lowered her head and looked at Lin Fan holding her hand. Her little face blushed immediately, and she couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Lin Fan didn't say anything more either and walked straight downstairs.

If he guessed correctly, these people should have been sent by Grandpa Liang. After all, besides him, he didn't know anyone else here who could have such an imposing manner.

As soon as he opened the door, Lin Fan saw that his small courtyard was already surrounded by people.

Apart from several men in suits and sunglasses with serious expressions, there was also a crowd of onlookers.

"Goodness, what are these people here for?" One of the onlookers exclaimed.

"Who knows? Maybe the owner of this house has gotten into some trouble," another person shook his head and chimed in.

Aunt Chun in the adjacent courtyard, with sharp eyes, saw the door downstairs of Lin Fan's house open. She immediately called out, "Xiaofan, you..."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's eyes were齐刷刷 fixed on Lin Fan's face.

"He's out, he's out."

"He's actually just a young lad? How on earth did he get involved with these big shots?"

Lin Fan nodded slightly at Aunt Chun in the neighboring courtyard but didn't say anything.

He turned back and looked towards the front of the courtyard. When two people got out of the car parked in front of the courtyard, Lin Fan's originally calm face couldn't help but sink slightly.

Liang Xi was supporting Grandpa Liang as they got out of the car, and both of their gazes landed on Lin Fan.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Liang Xi supported Grandpa Liang and slowly approached Lin Fan.

The crowd of onlookers all took a few steps back, secretly worrying for Lin Fan in their hearts.

Lin Fan looked at the two people approaching him indifferently, with no excessive expression on his face.

Although the many men in black had serious expressions, their eyes also casually sized up Lin Fan. For a person like Grandpa Liang, it was probably the first time in his life that he had mobilized such a large number of people for such a purpose.

And the purpose was just to meet a twenty-year-old young man, which made many people accompanying Grandpa Liang unable to understand it no matter what.

"Lin Fan," under the gaze of the crowd, Grandpa Liang smiled amiably at Lin Fan and called out.

Hearing Grandpa Liang's amiable tone, all the onlookers looked at Lin Fan in disbelief. So they weren't here to cause trouble?

Lin Fan nodded slightly at Grandpa Liang but didn't say anything.

"Aren't you going to invite me in for a cup of tea?" Seeing that Lin Fan didn't say anything, Grandpa Liang didn't mind and said again.

"Please come in," Lin Fan slightly turned sideways and walked in directly, opening the door wide to let Grandpa Liang in.

Seeing this, a trace of a smile flashed across Grandpa Liang's face, and then he followed Lin Fan's footsteps with Liang Xi's support.

Gu Yajing, standing on the second floor, looked at Grandpa Liang and Liang Xi who came in behind Lin Fan, and a trace of surprise flashed across her face.

Then her gaze fell on Liang Xi. Although she was also a woman, she couldn't help but be amazed by Liang Xi's beauty.

"The first floor has been rented out. Let's go to the second floor," Lin Fan said to Grandpa Liang after closing the door.

"Rented out?" Liang Xi and Grandpa Liang exchanged a glance, and both of them showed a trace of surprise on their faces. In their hearts, Lin Fan was definitely a mysterious person, and such people were generally withdrawn. They never expected that he would rent out this small building.

"Lin Fan..." After going upstairs, Gu Yajing called out softly to Lin Fan.

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's eyes were on Gu Yajing.

Liang Xi's cold gaze also turned to Gu Yajing. Seeing Gu Yajing dressed refreshingly and having a beauty no less than her own, she showed a slight surprise on her face, nodded slightly at Gu Yajing, then shifted her gaze and said softly to Lin Fan, "Your girlfriend?"

Lin Fan glanced at Gu Yajing and said indifferently, "A tenant."

Hearing Lin Fan's cold words, Liang Xi let out a soft "oh" and didn't show much expression on her face.

But in her heart, a strange feeling welled up.

So it's not that I'm not good enough, but that you're so indifferent to every beautiful woman.

"Xi'er," Liang Xi was still lost in her thoughts when she was interrupted by Grandpa Liang's call.

"Ah, Grandpa," Liang Xi collected herself and looked up to find that everyone was looking at her.

Liang Xi coughed softly and walked towards Grandpa Liang on her own, saying as she walked, "I was just thinking about my studies. Sorry about that."

Seeing this, Gu Yajing nimbly went downstairs and soon came back up with three cups of tea.

Lin Fan nodded slightly at Gu Yajing, thinking that this little girl was quite smart. As a grown man, he didn't have the leisure to deal with such things.

After Gu Yajing put down the tea cups, she stood aside, also wanting to see what exactly was going on.

"What are you still standing here for?" Lin Fan raised his head slightly and asked Gu Yajing.

"You..." Upon hearing this, Gu Yajing's face changed slightly, and she looked at Lin Fan with a wronged expression.

"I have something to deal with here. You go downstairs first," Lin Fan retracted his gaze and said indifferently.

"You... you, humph." Gu Yajing was so angry that she gave Lin Fan a fierce glare and then stomped downstairs in a huff.

"She even made three cups of tea for you, and you just sent her away like that. You really don't know how to show tenderness to a beauty," Liang Xi looked at Lin Fan with a half-smile and teased.

Lin Fan smiled faintly and didn't say much. The reason he sent Gu Yajing away was just that he didn't want to reveal too much about himself.

Grandpa Liang pondered for a moment and then looked at Lin Fan, saying in a deep voice, "Lin Fan, I know you're a bit proud. Well, let's get straight to the point. Have you thought it through? As long as you're willing to follow me, whatever you want is just a matter of my word."

After saying that, Grandpa Liang looked at Lin Fan somewhat proudly. In his heart, although Lin Fan was a bit proud, since he had come here in person, he was confident that no one could refuse him, especially someone like Lin Fan with an ordinary family background.

But Lin Fan once again exceeded his expectations. Lin Fan smiled faintly, took a sip of tea, and said leisurely, "I believe I made myself very clear. Maybe you didn't quite understand what I meant."

"Lin Fan, my grandpa isn't in good health, and he traveled all the way to this small place of yours. You..." Liang Xi's face changed slightly and she said angrily when she saw that Lin Fan still had this attitude.

"Xi'er!"

Liang Xi hadn't finished speaking when she was interrupted by Grandpa Liang.

"Lin Fan, out of my appreciation for your talent, I've put aside my pride and come to you. Are you really unwilling to follow me?" As he spoke, Grandpa Liang looked at Lin Fan in disbelief, and then looked up at Lin Fan's small courtyard. He continued, "And you're willing to live in this small place?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan looked up at his small courtyard, a trace of a smile flashing across his face, and replied, "I think this place is quite nice."

After saying that, Grandpa Liang didn't say anything more, and Liang Xi looked at Lin Fan with a rather complicated expression.

"Xi'er, let's go," Grandpa Liang's face didn't look good. He shook his head and said to Liang Xi.

Liang Xi, however, looked at Lin Fan reluctantly. Regarding Lin Fan's indifference towards her and her grandpa, Liang Xi couldn't tell what it felt like in her heart. But she had her pride. She wanted to ask Lin Fan one more time, but in the end, she didn't ask.
