Chapter 182 – My Son is Not MIne (part 16)

Lin Jihao had different feelings for Yun Yi. Lin Jihao knew that the feeling was probably love. Lin Jihao also knew that Yun Yi should have the same feelings for him. He was not an indecisive person, and the reason why he didn’t clear this up was entirely because of Yun Yi.

Yun Yi was the first student funded by the Yuansu Foundation and the one who his stepmother devoted the most time and energy to. Yun Yi was a kind-hearted person, and she wouldn’t dare to talk about her relationship until she had contributed to the company and had provided benefits. Lin Jihao was also afraid that Yun Yi would be gossiped about behind his back.

To love someone was to respect her. Therefore, Lin Jihao never spoke.

Of course, Lin Jihao had always been very confident. In his opinion, only he was the most suitable for Yun Yi.

But, beside Yun Yi, a man suddenly appeared, and he was a very attentive man.

“Yun Yi, are you finished with class? Are you hungry? I’ll treat you to dinner!” Li Chaoyang shouted with a bright smile on his face.

Yun Yi felt a little helpless. “Thank you, but the last time was really nothing. There’s no need to be so polite.”

Li Chaoyang had already walked to Yun Yi’s side. “How could I do that? It might not have been much for you, but for me, it was a life-saver. I have nothing to repay you with now, so I can only invite you to a meal to say thank you.”

Yun Yi thought about it and felt a little helpless. “Okay, I’ll just have one meal.” She originally planned to go to the nursing home to eat with her grandmother, but now it seemed that she had no choice but to miss that appointment. Yun Yi took out her cell phone and called her grandma, saying that she couldn’t accompany her to dinner.

Li Chaoyang took Yun Yi to a restaurant that looked good. “With my current ability, I can only invite you to eat here. When I make money in the future, I will invite you to a higher-end restaurant to eat!”

“There’s no need! That time I helped you was really just a small thing. You don’t have to take it to heart,” Yun Yi said again.

In fact, her encounter with Li Chaoyang was really accidental. That day, she was visiting her grandmother at the nursing home. On the way back, she accidentally witnessed a car accident. The injured person in the car accident was Li Chaoyang. At that time, there was no one else on the side of the road, and the vehicle that caused the accident had immediately driven away after finding that there was no one around.

Yun Yi called medical services and the police. Together with medical aid, the injured were sent to the hospital and the medical expenses were paid in advance. As a witness, she had also memorised the licence plate number of the vehicle involved in the accident.

Because of the information provided by Yun Yi, the police quickly caught the perpetrator. Yun Yi didn’t know what happened after.

She didn’t expect that Li Chaoyang would suddenly appear. He wanted to not only return the medical expenses that Yun Yi had paid for that day, but also kept saying that he wanted to repay her life-saving grace. After that, Li Chaoyang appeared around her every day and was very attentive.

Yun Yi was a very smart person. She knew that Li Chaoyang seemed to be pursuing her, but she already had someone in her heart. Even if she didn’t have someone she liked, she didn’t want to talk about feelings for the time being. So, she had been avoiding Li Chaoyang.

But, Li Chaoyang was a persistent person.

“Yun Yi, you should know what I’m thinking. I like you. You are the kindest girl I have ever met. I know that I have nothing now, but I already have start-up capital. Next, I want to start my own business. Trust me. Give me a little time and I will definitely create a world for you!” Li Chaoyang said excitedly.

Yun Yi frowned. “I’m sorry. I don’t want to talk about relationships right now.”

“I know that you are a student sponsored by the Yuansu Foundation. You signed an agreement with the Yuansu Foundation. After graduation, you have to work at their company for ten years and you are not allowed to resign! This is basically an unfair clause! Don’t worry, when I make money, I will ask the best lawyer to help you with the lawsuit. I will return all the money they have funded you over the years. This way, you won’t be burdened!” Li Chaoyang had already inquired about this.

Yun Yi was a little unhappy. She sternly said, “You misunderstand. It is not because of this. I voluntarily signed that agreement, and it is not unfair. Also, I said that I don’t want to talk about feelings now. It has nothing to do with this. To tell you the truth, I already have someone I like, but right now I am not qualified to stand by his side!”

Li Chaoyang looked like he didn’t believe her. “Impossible. I’ve investigated it thoroughly. You don’t have anyone you like! I know, it’s a bit sudden for me to say this, and it’s okay for you not to believe me, but I was just afraid of missing this opportunity as you are such a good girl. Yun Yi, I can wait. No matter how long it takes, I can wait.”

Yun Yi was a little helpless. How could he not understand? “I didn’t lie to you. I really have someone I like.”

Li Chaoyang just didn’t believe it.

Suddenly, a slightly urgent voice called out, “She does have someone she likes. It’s me!”

Yun Yi raised her head in disbelief. “Why are you here?”

Lin Jihao took a deep breath and walked to Yun Yi’s side. “Are you all right?”

Yun Yi felt a little dizzy and shook her head. “I’m fine.”

It was fine. Lin Jihao was relieved, and then he looked at Li Chaoyang. “She didn’t lie to you. She likes me and I like her too. The reason why I didn’t make it clear is because I was afraid of delaying her studies and being criticized. Unexpectedly, you misunderstood.”

Li Chaoyang recognized the other party at a glance. He often appeared on financial news. He was the president of Feiteng International. He looked at Lin Jihao and Yun Yi. “Impossible! How could you be together? Yun Yi, is it really him? Is he threatening you in return for his favor? That must be the case! The Yuansu Charity Fund is under the name of Feiteng International! You are so despicable!”

But Yun Yi couldn’t help but say, “Don’t talk nonsense! You can’t slander the Yuansu Foundation, and you can’t slander him! Without the foundation and auntie, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I will repay their kindness. It doesn’t matter who I like!”

Lin Jihao frowned and looked at Li Chaoyang. “Mr. Li, if there is no evidence, then don’t open your mouth. Otherwise, you can wait for the lawyer’s letter!”

Li Chaoyang still refused to believe that Yun Yi, who was such a kind and simple girl, would want to join a wealthy family due to greed and vanity. There must be some misunderstanding!

Yun Yi took a deep breath and said, “Let’s stop here. I have already made everything clear. I have nothing to do with you, and I don’t need to explain anything to you. We won’t meet again in the future.” After speaking, she pulled Lin Jihao out.

After leaving the restaurant, Yun Yi was calmed by the oncoming cold wind. She realised that she was still holding Lin Jihao’s hand. She let go of his hand, lowered her head, and asked, “Why did you come here?”

“My mother called me. One of her best friends saw you and that Li Chaoyang went out for dinner and called to tell her. She called me again.” Lin Jihao looked down at the hand Yun Yi had just held, as if her warmth remained.

“I’m sorry!” Yun Yi said, embarrassed. She lowered her head. She knew that auntie was in the United States now. Lin Jihao, who was busy with an acquisition recently, seemed to have not rested for a long time. But for her, he appeared here. Yun Yi didn’t want to guess what it meant, and she didn’t know how much Lin Jihao heard what she just said. She didn’t dare to guess how Lin Jihao would react. How would she cope then?

“There’s nothing to be sorry for. Have you eaten yet? Let’s find a place to eat.” Lin Jihao knew the burden on Yun Yi’s heart, so he always respected Yun Yi’s thoughts. He would not force her. He would wait until Yun Yi was willing.

Lin Jihao took Yun Yi to a nearby restaurant. During this period, Lin Jihao didn’t mention the matter that just occurred, so Yun Yi was a little relieved.

After dinner, Lin Jihao drove Yun Yi back to school. “If he bothers you again, call me.”

Yun Yi nodded. “I will. Drive carefully.”

Lin Jihao nodded slightly, started the car, and suddenly remembered something. “I can wait.”

Those words made Yun Yi’s face brighten, and she felt as if there were thousands of fireworks bursting in her heart. He really understood.

Yun Yi suddenly wanted to cry. The person she liked happened to be the one who knew her the best. Was there anything more gratifying than this?

Yun Yi nodded solemnly. “Okay!”

Lin Jihao gave her a deep look, then drove away.

Yun Yi watched Lin Jihao leave, then turned around and walked to the school. She wiped her tears as she walked. Suddenly, a shadow appeared in front of her!

“You’re crying. I guessed it correctly. He forced you, right? I know everything. Don’t worry. I can’t compete with him now, but one day, I will be better than him. I will be more successful and even more powerful. I will definitely save you! Wait for me!” After Li Chaoyang finished speaking, he suddenly hugged Yun Yi enthusiastically, then turned and left.

Yun Yi was caught off guard and was hugged by him. When she finally managed to process what just happened, she almost died of anger. But, Li Chaoyang had already left. Yun Yi stomped her feet angrily. Who did he think he was?!

This scene at the school gate was seen by many people. When they saw that Yun Yi was about to cry, some classmates who had a good relationship with Yun Yi rushed to ask what was going on.

Yun Yi briefly explained the matter.

People who had a good relationship with her knew about her. They knew that she was now an intern at Feiteng International, and she will work at Feiteng International after she graduated. Although some people would be envious, when they learned that Yun Yi could not change jobs or resign in the next 20 years, that envy disappeared. Twenty years was a long time in a person’s life. Working in the same place for 20 years was scary to think about. Therefore, no one was envious.

“What! This man is too arrogant!”

“That’s right, if he doesn’t know anything, then he has a great imagination!”

“Yun Yi, be careful in the future. Don’t meet him. This person probably has a problem with his brain.”

Yun Yi and her classmates walked slowly to the school.

Over there, Lin Jihao returned to the company with a full face. “Secretary Wang, inform the others that the meeting will continue at one thirty in the afternoon.”

Seeing him like this, Secretary Wang guessed something. “Okay, I’ll let them know right away.”

Lin Jihao suddenly remembered something and took out a box from his pocket. “I heard that you and your boyfriend are engaged next month. This is a gift. The car is parked in the parking lot B-2063 on the second floor.”

Before Secretary Wang could speak, Lin Jihao had already left the office.

She opened the box. A Maserati? Her boss was so generous! It was really a shame! Secretary Wang, as Lin Jihao’s assistant and secretary, was a few years older than Lin Jihao. She didn’t have any ideas about Lin Jihao. Secretary Wang was a smart person. When she found that Lin Jihao didn’t have any intentions towards her, she pulled away decisively.

But, sometimes, there would inevitably be some regrets in her heart.
