Duan Xue transferred to another hospital. Xia Lin's deskmate asked him if he knew why she suddenly transferred. Xia Lin shook his head. The deskmate then said that luckily he had kept Duan Xue's phone number. Xia Lin looked at this silly deskmate and kindly reminded him, "Stop wasting your time on Duan Xue. You two are not from the same world. There's no chance for you." Xia Lin originally wanted to say that Duan Xue was not a simple girl and was quite calculating. But since these people didn't know what had happened between him and Duan Xue, if he said it out of the blue, they might think he was speaking ill of Duan Xue behind her back.
The deskmate didn't take the advice. "What do you mean we're not from the same world? Actually, my family is not poor, and I'm quite good - looking. As long as I work hard, I'm sure I can chase after my goddess."
Forget it. This guy was hopeless. Xia Lin just hoped that Duan Xue would continue to ignore him and not scheme against this silly deskmate.
However, although Duan Xue had transferred to another hospital, her matter was not completely resolved. Xia Lin always felt a bit uneasy.
Duan Xue was indeed holding back a move. She had the "intimate photos in bed" of herself and Xia Lin. But due to the deterrence of Xiao Jinyu, she didn't dare to release them. Maybe she could try to secretly threaten Xia Lin. No, this time she'd better ask Miss Ai what to do.
Xia Lin took another leave. This time it wasn't because of Duan Xue, who had been quite quiet recently. It was because a so - called uncle had suddenly returned from abroad and wanted to adopt him and recognize him as his son.
At first, Xia Lin really thought this uncle had ill intentions. His family, although not extremely wealthy, had a three - bedroom, one - living - room apartment worth one million, a car worth three hundred thousand, and more than two hundred thousand in the bank. These were quite tempting. Did this uncle want to embezzle this property?
But... "You must be Xia Lin. You've grown into a handsome young man after seven or eight years. I'm Ling Feng, your father's best friend for more than a decade. Now I have two factories in the Chinatown abroad. I'm sure I can give you a good life there!"
Xia Lin later found out that this uncle was worth hundreds of millions... of US dollars. There was no way he would covet the one - or - two - million - yuan property of Xia Lin. This uncle was a kind person and really wanted to adopt him. He also said, "Come with me. I'm in my forties and still have no children. The doctor said I'll never have any. I'll definitely love and take care of you as if you were my own son."
Facing this kind and well - meaning elder, Xia Lin could only decline politely. But the elder thought that it was so pitiful for Xia Lin to be an orphan. It would be okay if he had already entered society, but now he was still in school and needed someone's care. Coincidentally, the elder had no children himself. He had come from an orphanage and had received a lot of help from Xia Lin's parents back then. After more than a decade of friendship, he had long regarded Xia Lin's father as his own brother. He felt extremely guilty for not being able to attend Xia Lin's parents' funerals due to his busy schedule. He wanted to make up for it by adopting Xia Lin.
Anyway, he had no descendants. Instead of his wealth falling into the hands of others in the future, it would be better to give it to Xia Lin.
"Xia Lin, listen to me. You're now living with a stranger... well, not a stranger. Even if you two have a good relationship, you're just friends, right? How can he take good care of you? Maybe he already thinks you're a burden but just doesn't have the heart to say it."
Xia Lin smiled helplessly. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Xiao Jinyu coming back.
