Chapter 57
Zheng Nanfeng stopped Lin Yi and said, "This is far too valuable. I..."
Lin Yi interrupted him with a smile, "Don't worry about it. I've already given it to you. It's not like I can take it back now."
Zheng Nanfeng disagreed, "But..."
Lin Yi continued to smile, "Really, it's fine. I know what I'm doing."
To be honest, he really didn't lack the family assets from the Lin family anymore. He received five million yuan every month from Huo Jihan and owned a mall that generated income. All in all, he could be considered a small tycoon. Giving away a little bit was nothing.
Seeing Lin Yi's insistence, Zheng Nanfeng said, "Thank you. If there's a chance, Xiao Mo and I will treat you to dinner."
Xiao Mo was Zheng Nanfeng's wife.
It was clear that these two had a genuine relationship.
Lin Yi nodded and then asked, "By the way, how are things with your parents now?"
Back then, Zheng Nanfeng insisted on marrying his girlfriend, which caused a serious rift with his family.
However, Lin Yi knew that Zheng Nanfeng was a man of deep affection and loyalty, so he wouldn't easily distance himself from his parents.
Sure enough, a hint of worry appeared in Zheng Nanfeng's handsome features, "My parents still won't forgive me."
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow, "If they won't forgive you, then so be it. We're living our own lives anyway."
Zheng Nanfeng seemed surprised by Lin Yi's perspective and paused for a few seconds before saying, "But my parents adopted me and raised me."
Lin Yi knew this much: the original host's third uncle and aunt couldn't have children, so they adopted one.
But their intentions weren't entirely pure.
Lin Yi clearly explained to Zheng Nanfeng, "They adopted you not out of kindness but because they wanted someone to take care of them in old age and to exploit your value. However, I am an outsider and shouldn't interfere in your family matters. Just make sure you see things clearly and don't let them use you blindly."
After hearing Lin Yi's words, Zheng Nanfeng smiled gently at him, "Lin Yi, you've changed."
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow, "Hmm?"
Zheng Nanfeng smiled, "In the past, you always told me to endure more, saying we were all family and that it would be okay if I just endured."
Lin Yi sighed upon hearing Zheng Nanfeng's words.
The original host indeed used to say such things; he had a naturally weak and kind personality and disliked competing with others.
But many things in this world don't end well just because you keep enduring.
Otherwise, the original host wouldn't have ended up in such a tragic situation.
However, Lin Yi couldn't directly tell Zheng Nanfeng this, so he simply sighed, "People learn to change after being foolish a few times."
Fortunately, Zheng Nanfeng believed he had merely changed his character and didn't ask further.
The two continued chatting about other things.
Inside the car.
Huo Jihan checked the time on his phone for the third time.
It had been almost twenty minutes, and the two of them were still talking animatedly without any sign of stopping.
