Adopting and Raising the Male Lead and the Villain - Chapter 290

Zhong Yuhuan’s thoughts were simple. She wanted to tell assistant Dong that Li Jinyuan wasn’t someone he could play like a fiddle – that by coming to pick Li Jinyuan up at this time, it wasn’t like he would get someone crying out of gratitude.

On the other hand, she also wanted Li Jinyuan to feel like he was still being valued.

Because Zhong Yuhuan had always believed that whether it be the male lead or villain, their mental health was extremely important!

Although assistant Dong didn’t necessarily think much of Li Jinyuan, he couldn’t disregard Zhong Yuhuan. No matter if Zhong Yuhuan had the ability to speak for Li Jinyuan or not, all of her assets were capital.

“Okay, then I’ll contact director Li immediately.”

Zhong Yuhuan didn’t wait for him to call director Li. She got up and politely bid him farewell, then brought Li Jinyuan back to the villa. In the car, Zhong Yuhuan kept on talking to him, “I saw some city news a while ago.”

“Hm?” Li Jinyuan patiently listened to her talk.

“There are many families who abandon their children and then suddenly look for them one day. Half of such instances are because they’ve grown old and need their child to support them. The other half is because some other child at home has gotten sick, like uremia, heart disease, leukemia… and needs to find their elder child to give their younger sibling a matching kidney, liver, heart, blood, bone marrow…” Zhong Yuhuan said all of that in one breath.

Li Jinyuan couldn’t help but smile at what she said, the curvature of his lips becoming gentler and gentler. “Oh? And was there anything else?”

Zhong Yuhuan didn’t notice Li Jinyuan staring at her, still earnestly continuing to explain, “Of course, if it’s a rich family, then they could be bringing the child back to be a scapegoat to all their problems…” Zhong Yuhuan’s imagination expanded, her brain filling with scenes from palace-scheming dramas.

When she mentioned bringing the child back to be a scapegoat, Zhong Yuhuan felt that she was being too pessimistic.

What if, what if the father really loved Li Jinyuan? What if it really was due to something uncontrollable that kept him from coming to Haishi in time?

Zhong Yuhuan pursed her lips. “Of course, I’m only saying this to you because I want you to take precautions. If the other party is wholeheartedly bringing you back, then you should forget about what I said. Never be prejudiced when you’re facing your original family…”

Original family…

Li Jinyuan chuckled a bit at this.

Ever since she had brought him out of the orphanage, she was his only family.

No matter how much his original family would talk about familial affection, it would still appear a bit laughable. After all, it had been so many years.

Li Jinyuan enjoyed Zhong Yuhuan’s nagging.

She rarely nagged and because of this, this moment was particularly precious.

Li Jinyuan nodded and agreed with everything. “Okay, I’ll listen to Huanhuan.”

No matter what Zhong Yuhuan said, he would always follow up with “Okay, I’ll listen to Huanhuan.” After so many times, Zhong Yuhuan felt a bit embarrassed, the temperature in her face rising.

If someone else went out of their way to slather her with praises, she wouldn’t feel anything at all, but because this was Li Jinyuan, Zhong Yuhuan felt extremely embarrassed.

This was also why she couldn’t face Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming’s feelings directly.

She would be dying from embarrassment just by thinking about it.

The car soon arrived at the villa. Zhong Yuhuan hurriedly opened the car door and exited the car, deeply sighing a breath of relief. Then, she quickly went upstairs while avoiding Li Jinyuan.

When the first episode of《Top Speed》came out, director Li had already arrived at Haishi.

Zhong Yuhuan didn’t go with Li Jinyuan this time because she believed that her previous attitude towards assistant Dong was enough. Assistant Dong definitely wouldn’t dare look down on Li Jinyuan now that she had straightened him out. But this time around, Li Jinyuan was meeting with his father and wouldn’t need her assistance.

What if she went with him and slapped the desk again, making the atmosphere even more awkward?

These types of things were still better left to Li Jinyuan to deal with by himself.

Zhong Yuhuan instead went racing with Yang Sen.

Huo Chengming had wanted to stop her, but the month had ended, so stopping her at this time would be overboard. Huo Chengming could only grit his teeth and say nothing.

However, he secretly recorded this in his heart, deciding to make life difficult for Yang Sen when he sought sponsors for the racing club.

This time, the meeting was at the hospital.

Assistant Dong was already waiting in the hospital room. Other than him, there was also an old man. The old man sat in a wheelchair, a pair of glasses on his thin face. He had a cold expression with cruel eyes, appearing quite unfriendly. Of course, it could be because he was too skinny, so skinny that his facial features appeared deformed.

Li Jinyuan knocked on the door, taking in this scene in front of him before entering.

The TV on the wall just happened to be playing the first episode of《Top Speed》.

On the screen, Li Jinyuan first bowed towards his opponent and struck first.

The old man’s eyes were unfocused and he said in a hoarse voice, “… Very capable.”

Assistant Dong said smilingly by the side, “He has your aura from your younger years. When you were young, you were also good at fencing.”

The old man slowly nodded his head, saying, “Mhm, fate.”

Li Jinyuan calmly said, “Huanhuan sent me to learn. She paid for it. If there’s fate, then it should be between you and her.”
