Liu Sanniang's injuries gradually healed, and the day for her discharge soon arrived.
"Thank you for taking care of me these past few days!" Liu Sanniang expressed gratefully.
"You're too kind! Just wait for me!" Lin Ruobai then pulled out the bank card Xiaoyun had given him from his pocket and went to a nearby bank to withdraw some money. But when he entered the PIN, the amount displayed on the screen was 40 million!
This left Lin Ruobai quite shocked! Not only was he astonished, but the bank staff were as well! The news quickly reached the bank manager, who rushed over without stopping and invited them inside.
"Lin Ruobai, what's wrong with them?" Liu Wenwen asked, somewhat puzzled.
But the moment she saw the balance in Lin Ruobai's bank account, she instantly felt dizzy and felt as though she were about to faint.
Lin Ruobai caught her just in time to steady her.
"Lin Ruobai, I never expected you to be a multi-millionaire!" Liu Sanniang said, her emotions equally stirred.
"Uh..." Lin Ruobai was somewhat embarrassed; he had no idea Xiaoyun would give him so much money!
"Dear Mr. Lin, I am the manager of this branch. May I ask how much you wish to withdraw? We don't have that much cash in our vault, so if you want to withdraw a large amount, I'm afraid you'll need to make an appointment in advance," the manager said amiably.
"How much can you let me withdraw right now?" Lin Ruobai asked.
"Mr. Lin, hello! The available operational funds we have here amount to 5 million. Would you like to withdraw that?" the manager asked, maintaining his polite demeanor.
"Withdraw it all," Lin Ruobai casually tossed the card over, and the manager hurriedly caught it to process the paperwork.
Soon, an armored cash-in-transit vehicle arrived at the bank entrance, accompanied by a stretched luxury Mercedes-Benz. The manager respectfully said, "To ensure your safety on the road, I've arranged this service. I wonder if Mr. Lin is satisfied?"
Seeing such a grand spectacle, Lin Ruobai couldn't help feeling moved, and he hurriedly nodded.
Afterward, Lin Ruobai, Liu Sanniang, and Liu Wenwen boarded the stretched luxury Mercedes-Benz and drove into the village, startling the villagers into rushing out to watch.
"This is my first time riding in a car like this," Liu Wenwen said with delight, her face beaming with a smile. But recalling what she had said under the willow tree, she couldn't help thinking to herself, *Right now, I don't seem qualified to be with him...* and she lowered her head.
Before long, they arrived at Liu Sanniang's house, which had been reduced to a charred wreck by the big fire. Seeing this, Lin Ruobai felt a pang of heartache, and he decided to give her the 5 million from the armored vehicle.
"Ah! This is for us? We could never accept this!" Liu Sanniang said, deeply agitated.
"Please rest assured and accept it! Consider it compensation for guarding my Old Residence all these years. Besides, your family needs money for repairs and renovations anyway. Buy better materials so I can repay the grace of your raising me! From now on, I'll also have to trouble you to continue guarding my old home," Lin Ruobai said earnestly.
Seeing this, Liu Sanniang found it difficult to say anything more and finally accepted the money.
"Don't worry, no one will dare disturb you here. I'll arrange for people to come and protect you," Lin Ruobai said.
While Liu Sanniang was counting the money, Lin Ruobai pulled Liu Wenwen aside.
"Thinking back to what I said yesterday, I was a bit too rash—" Before Lin Ruobai could finish speaking, Liu Wenwen leaned in and kissed him.
"You don't have to say anything. I read that letter of yours. You still like me, don't you?"
Lin Ruobai remained silent.
"Is it because of certain reasons that we can't be together?" Liu Wenwen had already guessed the reason, which left Lin Ruobai at a loss.
"You don't need to explain, I understand everything, but I won't give up! Because when I was little, you protected me, and now that I've grown up, I want to protect you too!" Liu Wenwen said, her face flushed red.
With that, she prepared to join Liu Sanniang to sort out the furniture and clear the ruins. She ran to the doorway, turned back, and looked at me, saying, "You must wait for me!"
Lin Ruobai smiled and replied, "Mhm!"
Afterward, he packed his luggage and prepared to attend the class reunion!
Lin Ruobai...
