Evan Lin's words were barely out.
The faces of the few people standing there instantly changed.
Tyson Xiang's expression darkened, and the look he shot Evan Lin was filled with even more anger.
Especially when Tyson Xiang noticed that, as Evan Lin spoke, Lily Liang didn't show any disdain—in fact, she looked genuinely impressed.
Are you nuts?
He'd meant to slam into him, but when he actually made contact, not only did he fail to budge the skinny teenager in front of him, it felt like he'd crashed into a steel wall. A powerful force bounced him back, and Tyson went down hard.
You think you're Jack Ma or something!
Saying a small company's revenue isn't even enough for you to pay taxes—what makes you such a big shot?
Tyson Xiang propped himself up, his face twisted in embarrassment.
So, what you're saying is, you can make tons of money?
Tyson Xiang stepped in front of Evan Lin, blocking his way and staring into his eyes. "So tell us, what company did you start?"
Otherwise, how can we just take your word for it?
Tyson Xiang blocked the path, but Evan Lin didn't slow down at all, his stride never faltering.
Seeing this, Tyson Xiang snorted coldly and aimed his shoulder straight at Evan Lin.
He never expected—
He'd meant to slam into him, but when he actually made contact, not only did he fail to budge the thin-looking teenager in front of him, it felt like he'd hit an iron wall. A powerful force rebounded, sending Tyson flying, and he crashed to the ground, landing hard.
"Tyson!"
The women jumped in shock and hurried over to help him up.
Tyson Xiang propped himself up on the ground, his face looking even worse.
Lily Liang glanced at Evan Lin, her expression showing a hint of surprise.
She hadn't expected Evan Lin to hold his ground like that.
Are you a martial artist?
Lily Liang asked, curious.
Evan Lin didn't answer her and just found a spot to sit down.
Seeing this, Lily Liang pursed her lips, annoyed, but her curiosity about Evan Lin only grew.
What's this guy's deal? Why's he acting so high and mighty?
Tyson Xiang, having gotten up from the ground, saw Lily Liang about to follow Evan Lin. He immediately reached out and grabbed her wrist. "I think he's just a fraud. You don't really believe he has that much money, do you?"
Lily, people like him—it's better to keep your distance. Or you'll end up getting conned.
Tyson Xiang was about to say more.
"He really is rich."
Lily Liang said, "I've seen it with my own eyes."
After that, she ignored Tyson Xiang and the women's stunned faces, strode over to Evan Lin, and took a seat next to him.
What happened here drew a lot of attention from those nearby.
But luckily, including Tyson Xiang, no one came over to bother them.
"Why are you going to the Shang family?"
Lily Liang sat there, watching Evan Lin. "Are you going to do business with the Shangs or something?"
She kept asking, but Evan Lin barely answered.
Maybe it was that billion-yuan transfer—Evan's aloof attitude just seemed natural now.
"But there's one thing I should warn you about."
Tyson's not exactly big-hearted. You just embarrassed him in public and didn't give him any face—he'll probably try to mess with you and make you lose face.
And sometimes, money isn't everything.
Don't think just because you can pull out that much cash, you can walk all over Tangshan. Some people here don't treat money as money. And besides...
Lily just smiled and didn't continue.
But her meaning was clear.
Carrying a bank card with a billion on it.
Evan Lin himself is basically a gold mine.
With such a huge gold mine right in front of them, even if Evan Lin's connections are sky-high, if someone gets greedy, they'll definitely target him.
Not long after.
Someone walked out from the house.
Leading the way was a man around fifty, who looked seven or eight parts similar to Ben Liang, but his presence was much steadier.
"It's time. Let's go to the Shang family together."
Lily Liang saw the people come out and stood up.
Evan Lin looked over and saw Sisi Shao with her head down, looking troubled.
She must have just met Ben Liang's father inside, and probably didn't hear anything good.
"Oh, you're Sisi's friend, right?"
Ben Liang's mother walked over, smiling. Her gaze toward Evan Lin was even more ambiguous: "Later, you'll ride with Lily Liang. We'll go to the Shang family together."
As for Sisi, she'll ride with us, so she won't be with you.
Once we get back from the Shang family, come to our house for dinner.
Ben Liang's mother's eyes flickered, her gaze burning with interest.
Evan noticed Sisi Shao being pulled out by Ben Liang, walking ahead and getting into the car first.
