Chapter 313: Thank You, Mr . Chen

It was May 16th . A few days had passed since the operation between the father and son . The operation was very successful . The first thing Wang Haitao did when he was discharged was to visit Chen Shi .

Wang Haitao arrived quite early and Chen Shi was called out before he could get enough sleep .

Compared to when they first met, Wang Haitao was now full of energy . His face was rosy and his hair was neatly trimmed . Chen Shi said, “You don’t need to thank me . It’s all thanks to the police . You can thank them for it!”

“Mr . Chen, I stayed at your house for a few days . Let me invite you to breakfast to show my appreciation!”

“I won’t go if it’s too far . ”

“We’ll just go nearby . ”

The two went outside the community and Chen Shi pointed at a stall selling pancakes . “That place isn’t bad . Do you want to try it? You don't have this in Yunnan!”

“Okay!” Wang Haitao accepted easily .

The two lined up behind the other customers . It took a long time to buy two pancakes . Wang Haitao also wanted to eat the spicy soup in the store next to them . The two sat down on small stools outside . Wang Haitao was eating spicy soup and pancakes with tears falling down his face .

“Huh? Is it too spicy?” Chen Shi asked .

“No, this may be the last day of my life to eat this kind of commoner’s food . I’m a little bit reluctant to let go . ”

Chen Shi put down the vinegar bottle . “It seems like I don’t need to add vinegar . I feel sour in my heart already . ”

Wang Haitao smiled with tears falling . “I'm really not complaining without being sick . You don't know the situation in my family . My mother got along with an educated youth at that time and gave birth to me back then . I couldn't raise my head in front of outsiders my whole life . My family was so poor when I was a kid . I could only eat a bowl of rice noodles in the morning on New Year's Eve . In school, the clothes I wore were always patched up . I was laughed at by my classmates saying that I was a bastard who didn’t have a dad . When I looked for work, I kept hitting obstacles . When I looked for love, they would snob me . I’m not afraid of you thinking it’s a joke if I tell you this – I’m still a vir… Virgin!”

Wang Haitao's tears fell into the soup and he sighed as he shook his head . “It seemed to be a dream and it seemed like I just time-traveled . My poor life suddenly ended, and I now have a super-rich father . . . Do you know what my father expects of me?“

“Hoping you inherit his company?”

“He asked me, but I said I don’t know how to do anything, let alone manage the company . Even this . . . ” Wang Haitao pointed to the stall behind them . “I can't even run this small restaurant . So he said, ‘I don't hope for you to do anything, your two older brothers are gone . . . '“

“It's your younger brothers!”

“Yes, it's my two younger brothers!” Wang Haitao smiled . “He said that my two brothers were gone and he didn't expect me to have any great achievements . He just wanted me to live happily . He made enough money for me to live out three lives and still have money to spare . If I don't want to inherit the company in my life, when he dies, he will sell all the shares and let me do whatever I want to do in the future . Even if I were to live as a playboy, he would be fine with that . “

“Actually, you can be considered as a fool with fool’s luck . You know that he was partially responsible for his two sons ‘deaths’ . He expected too much! By the time he got to you, his mentality had already changed . Actually, it’s pretty good like this . Don’t people live to be happy? Money can buy happiness, but most people mistake the goal and treat money as happiness . They try to make money all their lives, but they aren’t happy . “

“Mr . Chen, talking to you is really easy and eye-opening!”

“I wouldn’t say that . I’m just casually talking about it . . . Do you have any plans for the future?”

Wang Haitao smiled embarrassedly . “Nothing is planned . Now that my card has so much money, I don’t even know how to spend it . Do you have any financial difficulties?”

“No, no!” Chen Shi waved his hands desperately . “I heard that there are a lot of poor mountainous regions in Yunnan . Why don't you donate to a few charitable elementary schools? You can help the old man to accumulate good karma and maybe he can live out a few more years . ”

“Good idea . I’ll let the secretary do it this afternoon . . . Mr . Chen, can you continue walking with me for a bit?”

“Mr . Wang let’s stop here . I hope that you won’t repay me for anything . I was just trying to do my duty . ”

“I asked around . You’re not a policeman, so how does this count as your duty?”

Chen Shi was speechless and really didn't know how to explain that he was just a taxi driver .

After eating, Wang Haitao went to buy a pack of seven-yuan cigarettes, opened it, and said with emotion, “This is the last time in my life that I’ll smoke such cheap cigarettes . . . ”

“Don't continue to do these rituals to say goodbye to poverty, okay?”

“Mr . Chen, why don’t you accompany me to the new house! I . . . I want to show it off to you! It's really big!”

Chen Shi’s expression drooped . “I'm just going to leave . I should leave . ”

“No, I didn't mean it like that . You are my first friend in Long’an and probably the poorest of my friends in the future . I cherish you very much!”

“The two of us . . . Our fate will probably end here! You will have many friends in the future . ”

“Don't!” Wang Haitao's face was hurt . “Don't look down on me because I'm rich now, okay? Maybe one day, you might have a rich father as well . You never know with luck . ”

“Who are you scolding?”

“That’s not what I mean . . . ”

After being forcefully dragged by Wang Haitao, Chen Shi was brought into a car . The car was of course a luxury car, but Wang Haitao didn’t know how to drive, so he had a driver .

When the luxury car departed from the gate of the community, the stall owners selling pancakes and spicy soup were shocked . They asked the people around them whether the people who just got in the car were the people who had just eaten there .

Watching the scenery passing by the window, Wang Haitao smiled and said with emotion, “This is much more comfortable than a bus . . . I regret it . I should have taken the bus . This may be the last time in my life that I’ll be able to take a bus . ”

“You’re late to the life of a rich second generation . If you want to sit in a bus in the future, you can just buy one to sit in!” Chen Shi spat .

When they arrived, Wang Haitao said, “You can get off first, I'll pay . . . Oh, I forgot that we don't have to pay!”

When they got to Wang Haitao's mansion, it could be seen that the house was completely new, but there were no servants around . Wang Haitao said, “I haven't lived here yet . I don't know how it feels . . . Mr . Chen, look! This is a bathroom . It’s so big!”

“You don't need to let me know . I won't come . ”

“This house was given to me by my father . I don't intend to live here . I plan to go to his side to take care of him . The woman who poisoned him has already been sued . It is inevitable that a big tree will catch a lot of wind and I’m worried more people with bad intentions will arrive . I think I’ll worry less if I stay by his side and take care of him . ”

“Oh!” Chen Shi couldn’t really give any lifestyle advice to people who were rich .

“Wait a moment . ”

Wang Haitao fetched a big red book and a key . He grabbed Chen Shi's hand and said, “Mr . Chen, I'll give you this house as my thanks!”

Chen Shi opened his mouth and was shocked for a whole half minute . . .
