Chapter 62 An Encounter with Lu Qinghe
The text message notifications kept ringing as funds were being deposited into his account. Ye Fan carefully checked his account balance:
The odds of 9 for Argentina against Nigeria were 360 million, and after deducting 20% personal income tax, the net prize was 288 million.
Adding the 1152 million from the previous Spanish game, and deducting the 500 million start-up capital given to Liu Ruyan, the current available funds are 943.2 million.
Of that, 800 million was earmarked for the Brazil vs. Germany match, so currently only 143.2 million is available.
After quickly finishing a bowl of tomato and egg noodles at noon, Ye Fan headed straight for the Agricultural Bank.
When applying for a new card at the counter, he specifically requested that large transfer permissions be enabled. With a "ding" of a text message notification, 35 yuan was transferred from his China Construction Bank card to the new card, ready to be handed over to Gu Ruoning.
I told my mom that I took 5 yuan, and the remaining 30 yuan was given by Nanjing University, totaling 35 yuan, which I handed over directly to Gu Ruoning for safekeeping.
As for the fact that he is now rich, Ye Fan doesn't plan to tell his family yet. He has too much money to explain.
They'll only know how much wealth they have once the company is up and running, and they won't ask where the money came from!
The matter of buying Lao Ye a new car and getting my mom a beauty salon can only be discussed with my mom. If she doesn't agree, we'll just have to wait a while longer.
At the very least, I need to start my own company before I can use the money I currently have to buy it, otherwise my family will start asking all sorts of questions! And that will be hard to explain!
As for buying a car for my sister, we'll wait until after school starts!
-----------------
I'm planning to take a nap at home this afternoon.
I casually tossed my phone onto the pillow and sank into the soft blankets. This kind of deep, refreshing sleep on a summer afternoon brings a blissful sense of satisfaction.
He was not awakened by his rumbling stomach until dusk.
The phone screen lit up, displaying a message from my parents: "[I have a business dinner tonight, you'll have to take care of dinner yourself]."
He washed away his sleepiness with a cold shower, casually put on a plain white cotton T-shirt, paired with light gray casual shorts, and slipped on flip-flops before heading out the door.
The evening breeze ruffled the boy's neat short hair, and his simple attire only accentuated his outstanding temperament.
Just as the streetlights came on, a girl in high heels suddenly blocked his way.
"Handsome guy~"
She waved her phone, blinked her eyes which were coated with mascara, and said, "Can we add each other on WeChat? We can... have a more in-depth chat sometime."
The ending syllable was deliberately drawn out, carrying an ambiguous implication.
It has to be said that even in such simple attire, Ye Fan exudes a clear and handsome charm.
Under the streetlights, Ye Fan's silhouette was bathed in a soft, warm light.
He was born with a handsome bone structure—high-defined brow bones, a prominent nose, and a clean, sharp jawline. Standing over 1.8 meters tall with an upright posture, several people asked for his contact information along the way.
Even more outrageous was a young woman wearing a bodycon skirt who leaned right close to his ear and whispered:
"My sewer is always blocked... Do you want to come and clear it for me?"
After saying that, he winked meaningfully.
Ye Fan was momentarily speechless, unsure how to respond. He sighed and said:
"Sigh! Being handsome is a problem too!"
"Pfft!"
A familiar soft laugh suddenly came from behind me.
Ye Fan turned around and saw Lu Qinghe covering her mouth, her eyes and brows full of smiles.
Today, she wore a white chiffon dress, the hem of which swayed gently in the wind, and her red-soled high heels made her ankles appear even more slender. The soft light of the streetlights cast a hazy glow on her, even her hair seemed to shimmer with a gentle sheen.
This once again caught Ye Fan's eye.
"Student Ye!"
She tilted her head slightly, a mischievous smile curving her red lips. "It seems the top scholar's troubles are quite unique."
Lu Qinghe took a few steps closer in her red-soled high heels, her skirt swaying gently with each step.
She tilted her head slightly, and the stray hairs by her ears trembled gently in the evening breeze.
"I was just about to say hello when I heard Ye lamenting that being handsome is a problem..."
Ye Fan blinked and deliberately asked:
"Is Teacher Lu going on a date?"
Lu Qinghe's fingertips unconsciously caressed the chain of her handbag, and the smile on her lips faded slightly.
What kind of dates can I go on?
Ye Fan's gaze swept over her carefully chosen outfit:
"Then why are you dressed so beautifully?"
"Glib-tongued."
Lu Qinghe chuckled softly, and faint lines appeared at the corners of her eyes.
The night breeze carried away the faint jasmine scent emanating from her, mixed with a subtle hint of alcohol.
Ye Fan said half-jokingly:
"Teacher Lu is so beautiful, your husband is so lucky."
Ye Fan was also curious. He only knew that Lu Qinghe was married, but he knew nothing about the specifics!
The moment the words were spoken, the air suddenly froze.
Lu Qinghe tilted her head back, and the moonlight flowed down her slender neck.
She suddenly pulled a small, dark red booklet from her bag. The words "Divorce Certificate" embossed in gold on the cover were particularly glaring under the streetlights.
"I just received it this afternoon."
She pressed her fingernails into the document, leaving faint crescent-shaped marks, her voice so soft it was as if she were talking to herself.
"ah!!!"
Ye Fan was stunned and asked in surprise:
"How could this be...?"
Lu Qinghe sighed, a bitter smile tugging at the corners of her lips.
"I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me, teacher! My ex-husband gambled, drank, and was proficient in everything! I forgave him time and time again, but now it's escalated into domestic violence. I couldn't take it anymore, so we got divorced!"
The night wind tousled her long hair, and the bruise on her left temple, which had not yet completely faded, was faintly visible among the strands.
So that's how it is! Ye Fan sighed inwardly: No wonder I heard in my previous life that Teacher Lu's past wasn't good; it turns out her husband not only gambled but also committed domestic violence.
However, in my previous life, I only heard about it from Lao Zhao after I had successfully started my own business. How come it appeared so early in this life? Could it be because of the butterfly effect caused by my rebirth?
She suddenly chuckled softly, but tears welled up in the corners of her eyes:
"After he gambled away all the money I had saved for a down payment on a house... he smashed my forehead with an ashtray. How ironic, this injury has become the best evidence for our divorce."
Lu Qinghe looked at the endless street ahead. A gentle breeze brushed her temples, lifting a strand of hair. Her expression was more relaxed than ever before, yet it was also mixed with a lot of heartache!
Ye Fan was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say!
"Teacher Lu, have you had dinner yet?"
Ye Fan suddenly asked, his voice exceptionally clear in the night.
Lu Qinghe paused, then looked up at the student who was almost ten years younger than her. That man had never asked her if she had eaten or if she was sick. This simple expression of concern brought a lump to her throat; she sighed and shook her head.
"Teacher Lu, let's have dinner together! I haven't eaten either, it's my treat! No one's home tonight, and I'm starving!"
Ye Fan's stomach was indeed growling with hunger, so he took Lu Qinghe's hand and walked forward.
Lu Qinghe was pulled forward several steps before she came to her senses.
The night breeze brushed her face, dispelling the moisture in her eyes.
Looking at the vibrant young man before her, she finally felt a sense of relief! She suddenly realized—she was only twenty-seven years old.
The two went into a Hunan cuisine restaurant.
Ye Fan flipped through the menu and quickly ordered chopped chili fish head and stir-fried beef with yellow peppers.
Ye Fan poured a cup of barley tea and pushed it over, saying:
"What are your plans for the future, Teacher Lu? Will you continue teaching?"
