Lin Yuan took out his phone.
Lin Yuan frowned because he saw that the call came from an unregistered and strange number.
Lin Yuan was going to reject the call directly, but he suddenly saw the caller id is from Yanjing.
‘From Yanjing?’
Lin Yuan thought for a short while and then pressed to accept the call.
“Hello.”
After Lin Yuan said hello, he heard a slightly familiar voice coming from the other side.
“Hello? Is this Xiao Yuan? It’s me Cui Yunrong, old man Cui!” said the familiar voice.
“Oh! It’s old Cui. I thought it was one of those scam calls.” Lin Yuan identified him as soon as he heard Cui Yunrong’s voice.
He remembered that he received a call from him before, but he didn’t save his number.
That is why an unknown number was displayed.
“Huh? What did you say you thought I was? A scam caller?” Cui Yunrong didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he heard Lin Yuan’s words.
“What’s the matter with old Cui? What is up?” Lin Yuan smiled and changed the subject.
Cui Yunrong smiled and explained the reason for the call.
“I called to tell you that I may be returning to Yanjing in the next few days. It’s hard to see a guy like you. I was hoping maybe to meet with you before I go back to Yanjing.”
“I remembered that you said you were going to attend Mei family’s banquet tonight. I remembered that I also received an invitation but didn’t originally plan to go. But since I will be leaving soon, I wanted to see you kid. I am just too fond of you. And so, I plan to go. Are you still there?”
“Well, I’m still here.” Lin Yuan responded.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64ce79d606107d003c23ea27", id: "pf-5140-1"})Lin Yuan felt a little strange. Although he has a good relationship with Cui Yunrong, how could someone like him make a special trip to the banquet just to see him?
According to Lin Yuan’s understanding of Cui Yunrong and the situation, there might be something that’s bothering him.
Sure enough, Lin Yuan heard Cui Yunrong speak again.“Right. There is one more thing, which is incidental.” Cui Yunrong coughs.
“Well…I lost the chess manual you copied for me. I am afraid that I won’t be able to beat those guys when I go back. So, I wanted to come and ask you to make copies for me again. But this is just incidental, the truth is, I really wanted to see you before leaving.”
Hearing Cui Yunrong’s words, Lin Yuan immediately understood that Cui Yunrong didn’t mean what he just said.
Cui Yunrong being so fond of him and wanting to see him were just a front.
This old man has lost his chess manual and was afraid that he would be abused and embarrassed by his old comrades when he returned to Yanjing.
That’s why he wanted to come and meet him to ask him to make another manual for him.
Before, he was suppressed by his old friends in playing chess that he is afraid that he will experience the same again, not having the courage to speak up and defend himself.
Lin Yuan understood Cui Yunrong’s character very well.
“Okay. Old Cui, come here. I will make a copy for you. It is not so much of a big problem.” Lin Yuan smiled.
“Okay. I’ll be there in a few. And this girl Susu will be coming too. She is obsessed with you and wanted so much to see you.
After speaking, Lin Yuan hung up the phone and went to find Yu Shanshan.
He remembered that Yu Shanshan bought a good pair of gloves today to give to her harem, but she hasn’t given it out yet.
Lin Yuan directly robbed her off then went to find Yan Ruyue.
Yan Ruyue blushed immediately when she saw Lin Yuan.
Obviously, it was because he took her first kiss and that was unforgettable.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})Lin Yuan was shameless, after all, let alone her first kiss.
If Yan Ruyue hadn’t left immediately, Lin Yuan wanted to fight with her tongue to tongue.
Lin Yuan was still reluctant to give away the gloves given to him by Qiu Wanxi.
It was just an emergency that made him give it away.
And so, Lin Yuan took out the gloves he snatched from Yu Shanshan and then talked a bit with Yan Ruyue…
He persuaded her into exchanging the gloves with the one from Yu Shanshan.
For example, he talked about how big and inconvenient it will be to use such and that he bought a pair of small gloves to give to her instead.
Yan Ruyue was still lost at the moment of her first kiss, so the negotiation went smoothly.
Lin Yuan was able to get the gloves back.
After the exchange, the gloves were more suitable for Yan Ruyue.
While Lin Yuan was chatting for a while with Yan Ruyue, Lin Yuan heard a commotion coming from the first floor, the floor just below them.
It sounded like the people were intrigued by a new guest that’s coming.
This only goes to show that the person is a distinguished guest.
But generally speaking, people of high status have come already and participated in the recently concluded discussion between the family groups…
So, who else is this distinguished guest who arrived just now?
Lin Yuan guessed that it should be Cui Yunrong whom everyone is going on and about.
Cui Yunrong’s background is quite terrifying.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})After all, he is a nobleman from Yanjing.
Yanjing is the capital of Kyushu, although Jiangbei may not be too inferior in terms of business and capitalism. (T/N: Beijing was formerly known as Yanjing..; Kyushu is the alternate name of ancient China)
But in terms of military and political affairs, Yanjing is more superior to Jiangbei.
Cui Yunrong is also a famous figure in Jiangbei.
And his seniority is also high as signified by his age.
So as soon as Old Cui arrives, he will be very busy interacting with the people present here and there.
But the strange thing for Lin Yuan was that he found out that Ye Feng and Gu Qingshan were all smiling at this time, even Wang Sheng.
He remembered that he cut off the chance for Ye Feng and Cui Yunrong to meet and have a great relationship with him.
So Cui Yunrong’s coming definitely has nothing to do with Ye Feng and the others.
They shouldn’t be so happy to see him.
Could it be that Cui Yunrong is not the cause of the commotion and someone else?
Lin Yuan could only guess.
At this moment, a mysterious figure took the elevator upstairs.
As soon as the figure became more visible, he caught the attention of many people.
The man had an upright figure and straight posture.
Of course, it was not only because of these that he caught people’s attention.
The man was wearing military green attire.
The bottom plate of the green epaulets had pine branches, decorated with two red thin bars and two-star emblems which represent the rank of lieutenant colonel of Kyushu.
In this relatively peaceful era, achieving the rank of Lieutenant colonel is already very good.
After seeing this person, Lin Yuan immediately understood why Ye Feng chose to stay.
