Chapter 86 Mr. Good is playing on the west coast
After experiencing a short period of darkness, Lin Yuan opened his eyes again and looked at the unfamiliar environment in front of him.
The room has a large space and the decoration style is simple yet stylish.
The sunlight shines through the white gauze curtains on the wooden floor, forming patches of mottled light and shadow.
A translucent light blue screen appeared in front of his eyes.
[Current World: Mr. Nice]
[Replacement Character: None]
[Physique: LV4 (888/1000)]
[Storage Space: 2 cubic meters]< br>
This is still the magic city.
But this is 2016.
Lin Yuan looked in the mirror. It was still his own face and body, and this time, he was not replacing a certain person. He no longer needed to live under someone else's name.
The system fabricated an identity for him.
He was sent to study abroad since he was a child, and he just recently returned home after completing his studies.
My parents ran several companies, but unfortunately, they both died in a car accident two years ago.
Lin Yuan could only inherit tens of millions of family assets in tears.
I think the system felt that because I was studying abroad, I didn’t have many interpersonal relationships in China, so it wouldn’t seem too out of the ordinary.
Or maybe the system felt that his identity completely matched that of Gao Fushuai, so it assigned him such an identity.
In addition, he also has an additional identity, Peng Jiahe's distant cousin and Peng Jiahe's guardian.
As for how far it is, it’s not within three generations anyway.
There is no doubt about the power of the system.
Although Lin Yuan himself felt that it was a bit outrageous, when he thought that he had a system, nothing could be more outrageous than this.
A chuckle escaped from the corner of Lin Yuan's mouth. What's going on with this system? Why is he always given the job of taking care of the children?
He was a teacher in the previous world, and a parent in this world.
Although Peng Jiahe is 17 years old and has a slim appearance, in his eyes, he is not much different from a child.
Rebellious, uninhibited, and hungry for attention.
In two days, Peng Jiahe and Lu Yuan will return from the United States.
A few months ago, Peng Jiahe's father, Peng Hai, was involved in a car accident when he was sending the drunk Lu Yuan home.
Peng Hai failed to rescue and died on the spot.
Lu Yuan was lucky enough to escape.
Peng Jiahe was still young and lost her support after Peng Hai's death. Lu Yuan, as Peng Hai's friend, became her temporary guardian.
After learning that Lin Yuan was about to become Peng Jiahe's guardian, Lu Yuan thought about bringing Peng Jiahe back to China and handing him over to Lin Yuan, which fulfilled his big wish.
Original Lu Yuan, because his girlfriend Gan Jing was coming to the United States to study, he went with her as a study companion.
It only took him three years to go from being a handyman to being the head chef of a three-star Michelin restaurant.
Unfortunately, he encountered an economic crisis later. In order to pay the high mortgage loan, he took risks and resold fake passports. He was caught and sent to prison for two years.
In order not to worry his girlfriend, he begged his good brother Jiang Haokun to take care of his girlfriend for him and not to tell Gan Jing the truth.
After finally being released from prison, he discovered that Gan Jing had already left the United States.
On the anniversary of Lu Yuan and Gan Jing’s arrival in the United States, Lu Yuan made an exquisite dessert in the kitchen and lit two candles in order to express his longing for Gan Jing who was far away in his motherland.
He is relieved that his girlfriend is being taken care of by his best brother. After he makes enough money, he will return to China to live a happy life with Gan Jing.
I will give Gan Jing a big surprise then.
But Lu Yuan was drinking alone in the kitchen alone, and the candle on the cake fell over, igniting the wine on the floor and causing a fire.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan was not seriously injured, but unfortunately, his sense of taste and smell disappeared.
This is absolutely unacceptable to a cook.
Lu Yuan could not accept such a blow, and he started drinking alcohol all day long from then on, and he was in a state of depression.
Anyway, he lost his job, his sense of smell and taste, his fiancée, and even his only friend in a foreign country. He felt that there was nothing left in this world worthy of his nostalgia.
Two days later.
Airport entrance.
Lin Yuan leaned on the Cayenne, looking back and forth among the crowd, looking for Lu Yuan and Peng Jiahe who were about to appear.
Lu Yuan and Peng Jiahe haven't seen it yet, but they first saw Jiang Lai, who was wearing a red dress and bright eyes and white teeth, walking towards the door. Her beautiful legs under the skirt were as slender as lotus roots. fair.
She held her mobile phone against her sexy red lips, and voiced as she walked:
"Chen Fang! What do you mean? I've been missing for a week, and I haven't answered the phone or my WeChat messages. Are you tired of living?"
"Let me tell you, my aunt has landed. I don’t care if you crawl back or fly back, you are today You have to appear in front of me immediately.”
“If you don’t show up today, you will never show up again!”
Lin Yuan recognized this sexy red lip and white skin at a glance. The beautiful woman is none other than the heroine in the play, Jiang Lai.
I was thinking in my heart, Chen Fang, I am afraid you will never have the chance to see him again. If you are lucky, you might be able to meet him in a dream.
Chen Fang was originally Jiang Lai's boyfriend. He fell in love with the Jiang family's property, and relied on his identity as Jiang Lai's boyfriend to try to get his hands on the Jiang family's property. He even openly challenged Jiang Lai's brother Jiang Haokun.
Jiang Haokun easily made a fool of himself, which not only caused him to owe huge debts, but also contracted heavy smoke. In desperation, he finally chose to commit suicide by jumping off the building.
Speaking of which, Chen Fang's method is too low-level. No matter what, he cannot reveal his ambition so blatantly.
If your abilities are not worthy of your ambition, you are doomed to failure.
As long as you guard Jiang Lai honestly and faithfully, are you still afraid that you won’t be able to live a good life in the future?
Jiang's Group has a market value of tens of billions. Are you afraid it won't be enough for you, Chen Fanghua?
Did you know there is a security guard on the peninsula next door?
The answers are all written in your hand, and you won’t even be able to copy them.
But then again, it’s no wonder Jiang Lai was deceived.
After all, Chen Fang had always behaved well when he was with her, looking like a motivated young man. Who would have thought that he would be so miserable in private.
He didn't care about her people or her money, which made her mistakenly think that she had found true love.
Lin Yuan just glanced briefly and then withdrew his gaze. There will be many opportunities for contact in the future.
The purpose of coming here today is just to welcome Peng Jiahe.
Lin Yuan only took a few glances, but Peng Jiahe and Lu Yuan had already walked over.
"Cousin~" Peng Jiahe pushed the suitcase and came to him, "Do you know her?"
She was a little dissatisfied. Her cousin had been looking at the woman on the plane who wanted to upgrade her, and she had already walked in front of her cousin before he noticed her.
The two of them have been in contact on WeChat, so they are no strangers to each other.
Lin Yuan shook his head: "I don't know."
Peng Jiahe opened the conversation and started to complain. He took Lin Yuan's arm and said coquettishly and angrily: "Cousin , you have to make the decision for me, this bastard Lu Yuan, he flew first class, but asked me to fly economy "My butt hurts from sitting in the cabin for more than ten hours."
"Eh, eh," Lu Yuan tilted his head, interrupting Peng Jiahe's complaint, "I said it on the plane. , I spent my own money to fly first class, if you want to fly, go work and earn money.”
"Then don't you also have my money?" Peng Jiahe's voice was clear and loud, with the unique stubbornness of an adolescent girl.
"That's your father's pension. It's just temporarily stored with me. You can use it when you become an adult."
"You are no longer my guardian, why should you still take it? With my father's pension," Peng Jiahe retorted angrily.
Lin Yuan and Lu Yuan had already confirmed their IDs before, and they were considered acquaintances. Lu Yuan directly handed the bag to Lin Yuan.
When Peng Jiahe saw this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He was overjoyed and stretched out his hand to pick it up.
Lu Yuan retracted his hand: "It's not for you. It's just a kid, go away."
"Lu Yuan!" Peng Jiahe shouted angrily. "Why do you teach me a lesson? If it weren't for..."
Lu Yuan rushed to say: "If it weren't for me, your dad wouldn't have died, right?"
He laughed self-deprecatingly. Then he continued: "I think so too. "Look, I also wanted to die for your father, but I survived. Not only did I survive, I also had to escort you safely all the way to the country."
"Being watched by me, the enemy who killed your father." Don’t worry, are you angry?”
The two of them seemed to be naturally at odds with each other, and they would quarrel every time they couldn't say a few words.
Lin Yuan's expression was a little strange. Lu Yuan clearly cared about Peng Jiahe in his heart, but he showed no mercy to Peng Jiahe.
"Cousin, look, he will bully me."
"Get in the car first." Lin Yuan patted her shoulder gently and said with gentle eyes: "Let's find a place to eat first."
To be honest, he really didn't like Peng Hai's pension.
Seeing that Lin Yuan didn't speak up for him, Peng Jiahe felt aggrieved.
She squatted down and sobbed aggrievedly.
"What kind of cousin, it's all fake, not towards me at all."
Lin Yuan reached out to touch her hair.
But the dreadlocks on Peng Jiahe's head were like a pile of dry thorns, with no softness at all.
Peng Jiahe is now deeply influenced by Western culture, with dreadlocks, lip nails, leg rings, and all kinds of fancy clothes.
Leg rings are still open to question, and how do the dreadlocks and lip nails look so good?
Today she has to get rid of the dregs of the West.
Lu Yuan put his hands in his pockets, looking like he was watching a show.
There was still a bad smile on his face.
He also wanted to see if Lin Yuan had the ability to take care of Peng Jiahe.
"Why are you pretending to be an expert with your hands in your pockets? Winning a fight over a child is worthy of your pride?"
Lin Yuan first scolded Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan was not angry, and still looked at him with a smile.
Then he pulled Peng Jiahe up from the ground and comforted him softly: "Stop crying, I will take good care of you in the future."
Lin Yuan had never taken care of such a big child before, so he could only offer a few words of comfort in a soft voice.
"Yes." Peng Jiahe responded with a cry, lying in Lin Yuan's arms, seeming to feel much better.
After her father passed away, her life was completely shattered.
The temporary guardian Lu Yuan is a veritable bastard and rogue.
Extremely irresponsible, and that mouth is too poisonous.
This was the most touching sentence she heard after Peng Hai's death.
A few people got in the car. Lu Yuan looked out the car window and said, "Just stop here. I'll scatter Peng Hai's ashes here, and it will be considered as his fallen leaves returning to their roots."
The corners of Lin Yuan's mouth twitched. Even after watching the original drama, he couldn't hold himself tight.
After staying abroad for so long, are your thoughts so clear?
To spread the ashes of others?
What hatred or grudge?
Lin Yuan was silent for a moment and then asked: "Hezhu, do you call this a fallen leaf returning to its roots?"
"What if it's not the case?" Lu Yuan, who was in the passenger seat, asked back.
"When it comes to festivals, where should Jiahe worship her father? Under the second parasol tree on Nanjing Road, or under the bridge on Fuxing Road?"
Lu Yuan was startled. He had thought about it, but his strength did not allow it.
Cemeteries are not cheap these days.
In one fell swoop, he spent tens of thousands to buy a cemetery. The money saved was enough for him and Peng Jiahe to eat a lot of delicious food.
And what happens after death is the concern of the living.
What to do if a living person loves you.
After all, he himself is alone, and he already cares very little about life and death.
Lin Yuan continued to tease: "As Jiahe's father's only friend, you just want to fool her like this?"
Lu Yuan retorted: "How can I have money to give to her father? Buying a cemetery? "
"Don't you have the money to fly first class?"
"Yes! Don't you have the money to fly first class?" Peng Jiahe also came over. , echoed and asked.
First-class air tickets from New York to Shanghai are also not cheap.
Lu Yuan sighed: "Isn't it just a cemetery? Your dad doesn't care about that." Then he looked at Lin Yuan, "You drive a Cayenne, you are not short of money, why don't you buy it?"
Lin Yuan said calmly: "You don't have to say it."
After hearing this, Peng Jiahe's eyes flashed with emotion.
“Thank you, cousin.”
Lu Yuan smiled indifferently on the surface, but in his heart he felt more reassured about Peng Jiahe's future. Being able to spend so much money to buy a cemetery for Jiahe's father would certainly not be much worse for Peng Jiahe.
The three buried Peng Hai's ashes in the cemetery.
Don’t underestimate such a small area, it is more expensive than the current house price.
Peng Jiahe politely kowtowed to her father a few times.
Lin Yuan continued to drive and took the two of them to a barber shop.
"Barbershop? Cousin, why did you bring me here?"
Lin Yuan had a look of disgust on his face: "Your hair is irritating your hands, I will take you to smooth it down."
“No!” Peng Jiahe pouted and said stubbornly: “This is hip-hop, this is the style, West Coast!”
"Whatever hip-hop or not, this circle is almost rotten." Lin Yuan paused, and his tone became more serious, "Peng Jiahe, don't let me find out that you have anything to do with this circle. "
"Lu Yuan, please help me quickly." Seeing Lin Yuan's determined look, Peng Jiahe had no choice but to intercede with Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan chuckled mischievously: "You brothers and sisters will settle your matters on your own, and I won't get involved."
With that said, he wanted to turn around and leave.
The wish is gone, and he has nothing left to miss in this world.
What follows is a day of doing whatever you want. Drink when you want to drink, sleep when you want to sleep.
Until one day when I get tired of living, I find a place where no one is and I end it.
"Where are you going?" Lin Yuan asked.
Lu Yuan still looked careless and shrugged and said: "Walking around."
Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Yuan slightly: "Why do I always feel Are you missing something?"
"Me? What am I missing?" Lu Yuan subconsciously looked down at himself, looking carefully from top to bottom. His clothes were neatly dressed, his shoes were still on his feet, and there was nothing obvious about him.
Then the next second, he shouted.
"Damn it, I'll take care of it!"
Are all domestic thieves so awesome now?
In broad daylight, the bag you were carrying disappeared?
Your wallet, passport, and credit cards are all inside.
Everywhere in my body, only the cell phone in my pants pocket was worth some money.
This thief has some humanity.
Peng Jiahe shook his head. He didn't notice when Lu Yuan's bag disappeared.
"Forget it, looking at you, I guess you don't have many friends in the country. Let me treat you to a meal tonight."
"Me?" Lu Yuan felt extremely funny, " I don’t have any friends?”
“Oh?” Lin Yuan said teasingly, “Is it possible that you really have some friends?”
A smile appeared at the corner of Lu Yuan's mouth: "Did you know Jiang Haokun? He's worth tens of billions! That's my best buddy."
"You even know Mr. Jiang?" Lin Yuan pretended to be surprised.
Lu Yuan felt a little proud.
But the next second, there was a hint of sarcasm in the corner of Lin Yuan's mouth, "I didn't know, I thought you were worth tens of billions."
"I..." Lu Yuan twitched. Wow, why does this guy have a bigger mouth than me?
Peng Jiahe covered his mouth and snickered when he saw Lu Yuan was helpless. He didn't expect that Lu Yuan would be so frustrated.
"Just wait and watch my phone call. Then you will know whether what I say is true or false."
Lu Yuan picked up the phone and called Jiang Haokun.
Half a minute later, Lu Yuan was a little embarrassed.
Jiang Haokun claimed that he had an important meeting and refused his request to meet.
"What, can you lend me some money?"
He has been living in the United States for the past few years. Apart from Jiang Haokun, he has no other acquaintances at home.
"Cousin, don't lend it to him."
Peng Jiahe said angrily, she remembered that Lu Yuan didn't speak to her just now.
Lin Yuan just nodded, but before he could speak, Lu Yuan's phone rang again.
Jiang Haokun asked him to come directly to the party on the Bund tonight.
After Lu Yuan hung up the phone, he said to the two of them with some pride: "Tonight's party is top-notch. If I hadn't taken you there, you wouldn't have had such a good meal."
"Bragging." Peng Jiahe attacked mercilessly.
"Okay, the only task now is to deal with your dreadlocks."
Peng Jiahe was not convinced.
These dreadlocks are so pretty.
I have been taking care of it myself for a long time.
But Lin Yuan couldn't tolerate his refusal even under Lin Yuan's toughness.
So I could only speak ill of Lin Yuan in English while being arranged by the stylist.
Lu Yuan smiled secretly from the side.
Two hours later, Peng Jiahe's dreadlocks disappeared and were replaced by soft black hair.
Lin Yuan touched it with his hand and felt that it felt pretty good.
Then he gave her a knock on the head.
“You just called me a cliché in English, so you pretend I don’t understand.”
Peng Jiahe held his head and screamed in pain: “Then you didn’t expose it in the first place. Me.”
"I just want to see if your English vocabulary is rich. At present, it seems that you are not very good at it."
Peng Jiahe was dissatisfied: "I am not willing to scold you."
Lin Yuan looked at his watch. It was already past six o'clock in China, and the banquet was about to begin.
……
Lin Yuan drove Lu Yuan and Peng Jiahe to a scenic garden on the Bund.
This place was naturally an open-air party specially organized by Jiang Haokun for Gan Jing.
Today is not only the official opening of Gan Jing’s personal studio, but also Gan Jing’s birthday.
Jiang Haokun wants to propose to his girlfriend Gan Jing on this important day.
The three of them looked at it from a distance, red and green flowers were dancing, and pearls were surrounded by green trees.
Peng Jiahe was looking for snacks happily, while Lu Yuan was looking for Jiang Haokun.
At this moment, the elegant violin sound suddenly sounded, fireworks were set off, and three waiters were seen pushing a large cake several layers high.
Seeing Peng Jiahe's envious gaze, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "When it's your birthday, I'll prepare a cake bigger than this for you."
All the guests gathered around , waiting for the host of the banquet to speak.
Lin Yuan also squeezed in. As for Peng Jiahe, he was still tasting the food in front of the barbecue stall.
In the middle of the crowd, Jiang Haokun, wearing a custom-made suit, stood beside Gan Jing with high spirits.
Gan Jing was dressed very elegantly today, with a clear face and a very decent white dress. She looked pure and noble, making people look forward to conquering.
Jiang Haokun smiled happily and clapped his hands: "Thank you, thank you all for attending. Today is an important day for me and Gan Jing."
"First of all , I want to congratulate Gan Jing on the opening of his personal studio..."
"Secondly, and most importantly, I want to congratulate you on your happy birthday. This is my third birthday with you, and I planned it. For a long time, I thought about various possibilities, How can you make this birthday dinner leave a beautiful memory in your life..."
Jiang Haokun took the diamond ring from the tray of the waitress on the side, slowly knelt down on one knee, and looked at her affectionately Looking directly at Gan Jing: "Marry me, Gan Jing, you are the woman of my dreams, always have been. Ever since you went to the United States seven years ago, I thought you were going to disappear from my life, but I never gave up." Too..."
"Haokun, you get up first, this is too sudden..." Gan Jing seemed at a loss and did not expect Jiang Haokun to propose.
Lu Yuan couldn't stand it anymore when he saw this scene.
When he called Jiang Haokun in the afternoon, he clearly said that there was a private party in the evening and did not tell him anything about Gan Jing.
Didn’t I ask Jiang Haokun to take care of Gan Jing for me?
Why have the two of them reached the stage of proposing?
And from what Jiang Haokun said, it seemed that not long after he entered prison, Jiang Haokun started hooking up with Gan Jing.
