Film and TV: Starting from childhood, I will give up Zhong Yi

Chapter 86: Mr. Good Plays the West Coast

After a brief period of darkness, Lin Yuan opened his eyes again and looked at the unfamiliar environment in front of him.

The room is spacious and the decoration style is simple yet stylish.

The sunlight shines through the white gauze curtains onto the wooden floor, creating patches of mottled light and shadows.

A translucent light blue screen appeared in front of his eyes.

[Current World: Mr. Good]

[Alternative character: None]

[Physique: LV4 (888/1000)]

【Storage space: 2 cubic meters】

This is still the Magic City.

But it was 2016.

Lin Yuan looked in the mirror. It was still his own face and his own body. Moreover, this time, it was not that he had replaced 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 when he was young and 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 assets with tears.

I think the system feels that because of studying abroad, the lack of interpersonal relationships in China does not seem too abrupt.

Or maybe the system felt that his identity was completely in line with the tall, rich and handsome type, so it assigned him such an identity.

In addition, he has another identity, Peng Jiahe's distant cousin and also Peng Jiahe's guardian.

As for how far away it is, it is definitely not within three generations.

The power of the system is beyond doubt.

Although Lin Yuan himself felt that it was a bit outrageous, when he thought that he already had a system, there could be nothing more outrageous than this.

A faint smile escaped Lin Yuan's lips. What's wrong with this system? Why does it always give me the task of taking care of children?
In the previous world he was a teacher, and in this world he became a parent.

Although Peng Jiahe is already 17 years old and has grown into a beautiful young lady, in his eyes, she is no different from a child.

Rebellious, uninhibited, and craving for attention.

In two days, Peng Jiahe and Lu Yuan will return to China from the United States.

A few months ago, Peng Jiahe's father Peng Hai was in a car accident when he was sending the drunk Lu Yuan home.

Peng Hai died on the spot despite failed rescue efforts.

Lu Yuan was lucky enough to escape the disaster.

Peng Jiahe was still young and lost her support after Peng Hai passed away. As Peng Hai's good friend, Lu Yuan became her temporary guardian.

When Lu Yuan learned that Lin Yuan was about to become Peng Jiahe's guardian, he thought about bringing Peng Jiahe back to the country and handing him over to Lin Yuan, which would also fulfill one of his biggest wishes.

Originally, Lu Yuan went with his girlfriend Gan Jing as her study companion because her girlfriend was going to study in the United States.

It only took him three years to go from a handyman to the head chef of a Michelin three-star restaurant, which can be said to be an outstanding achievement.

Unfortunately, he encountered an economic crisis later. In order to pay the high mortgage, he took the risk of reselling fake passports and was arrested and imprisoned for two years.

In order not to worry his girlfriend, he begged his good brother Jiang Hao Kun to take care of his girlfriend for him and not to tell Gan Jing the truth.

After finally being released from prison, he found 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 exquisite desserts in the kitchen and lit two candles to express his longing for Gan Jing who was far away in his motherland.

He was relieved that his girlfriend was being taken care of by his best brother. He planned to return to China to find Gan Jing and live a happy life after he made enough money.

Then I will give Gan Jing a big surprise.

But Lu Yuan was drinking alone in the kitchen. 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 were completely gone.

For a cook, this is absolutely unacceptable.

Lu Yuan could not accept such a blow, and from then on he began to drink heavily and never recovered.

Anyway, he lost his job, his sense of smell and taste, his fiancée, and even his only best friend in a foreign country. He felt that there was nothing left in this world worth clinging to.

Two days later.

Airport gate.

Lin Yuan leaned on the Cayenne, looking back and forth in the crowd, looking for Lu Yuan and Peng Jiahe who were about to appear.

Before Lu Yuan and Peng Jiahe saw it, they saw Jiang Lai, who was wearing a red dress and had bright eyes and white teeth, walking towards the door. The pair of beautiful legs under her skirt were as slender and white as tender lotus roots.

She held her phone against her sexy red lips and sent a voice message while walking:

"Chen Fang! What do you mean? You've been missing for a week. You don't answer my calls or reply to my WeChat messages. Are you tired of living?"

"I'm telling you, I've already landed. I don't care whether you crawl back or fly back, you have to show up in front of me today."

"If you don't show up today, you'll never show up again!"

Lin Yuan recognized the woman with sexy red lips, fair skin and beautiful looks at a glance. She was the heroine of the play, Jiang Lai.

I thought to myself, Chen Fang, I'm afraid you won't have the chance to see him again. If you're lucky, maybe I can meet him in a dream.

Chen Fang was originally Jiang Lai's boyfriend. He coveted the Jiang family's wealth and, relying on his status as Jiang Lai's boyfriend, attempted to get his hands on the Jiang family's property. He even openly challenged Jiang Lai's brother Jiang Hao Kun.

Jiang Haokun easily set up a trap, which not only made him owe a huge debt, but also made him addicted to opium. With no other options, he finally chose to commit suicide by jumping off a building.

Actually, Chen Fang's method was too low-level. No matter what, he couldn't reveal his ambition so blatantly.

If your ability does not match your ambition, you are doomed to fail.

As long as I stay with Jiang Lai honestly and dutifully, why should I be afraid that I won't be able to live a good life in the future?
The Jiang Group’s market value is over 10 billion, are you afraid that it’s not enough for you, Chen Fanghua?

Don’t you know there’s a security guard on the peninsula next door?

The answers are all written on your hand, you can’t even copy them.

But then again, it’s no wonder that Jiang Lai was deceived.

After all, when Chen Fang was with her, he was always well-behaved and looked like an ambitious young man. Who would have thought that he was so unbearable in private?

He was not after her as a person, nor was he after her money, which made her mistakenly believe that she had found true love.

Lin Yuan just glanced at her briefly and then looked away. There would be many more opportunities for contact in the future.

The purpose of coming here today is just to welcome Peng Jiahe.

Lin Yuan had only taken a few glances when Peng Jiahe and Lu Yuan came over.

"Cousin~" Peng Jiahe pushed the suitcase and came to him, "Do you know her?"

She was a little dissatisfied because her cousin had been looking at the woman who wanted to upgrade her cabin on the plane, and it was only after she walked in front of her cousin that he noticed her.

The two had been in contact on WeChat, so naturally they were not strangers.

Lin Yuan shook his head: "I don't know him."

Peng Jiahe opened up and started to complain. She pulled Lin Yuan's arm and said coquettishly and angrily, "Cousin, you have to make the decision for me. Lu Yuan, that bastard, sat in first class but made me sit in economy class for more than ten hours. My butt is sore from sitting there."

"Hey, hey, hey." Lu Yuan tilted his head and interrupted Peng Jiahe's complaints, "I said it on the plane, I paid for the first-class seat with my own money. If you want to sit in it, go work and earn the money yourself."

"Then isn't my money also with you?" Peng Jiahe's voice was clear and loud, with the stubbornness unique to an adolescent girl.

"That's your father's pension. It's just temporarily deposited with me. You can use it when you come of age."

"You are not my guardian anymore, so why do you still take my father's pension?" Peng Jiahe retorted angrily.

Lin Yuan and Lu Yuan had already confirmed their IDs before, and they knew each other, so Lu Yuan handed the bag directly to Lin Yuan.

When Peng Jiahe saw this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he was overjoyed. He stretched out his hand to take it.

Lu Yuan retracted his hand: "It's not for you. Go away, little kid."

"Lu Yuan!" Peng Jiahe shouted angrily. "Why do you teach me a lesson? If not..."

Lu Yuan rushed to say: "If it weren't for me, your father wouldn't have died, right?"

He laughed at himself and continued, "I thought so too. 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 back to China."

"Are you angry about being watched and controlled by me, the murderer of your father?"

The two of them seemed to be born to clash, and they would start quarreling after just a few words.

Lin Yuan's expression was a little strange. Lu Yuan clearly cared about Peng Jiahe in his heart, but he was ruthless to Peng Jiahe in his words.

"Cousin, you see, he just bullies me."

"Let's get in the car first." Lin Yuan patted her shoulder gently and said with a gentle look in his eyes: "Let's find a place to eat first."

To be honest, he really doesn't think highly of Peng Hai's pension.

Seeing that Lin Yuan didn't speak for her, Peng Jiahe felt very aggrieved.

She squatted down and sobbed aggrievedly.

"What cousin? It's all fake. He doesn't support me at all."

Lin Yuan reached out to touch her hair.

But the dreadlocks on Peng Jiahe's head looked like a pile of dry thorns, not smooth at all.

Peng Jiahe is now deeply influenced by Western culture, with dreadlocks, lip piercings, leg rings, and she dresses in a flashy way.

The leg rings are still debatable, but how can these dreadlocks and lip studs look good?

Today we have to get rid of the dregs of the West for her.

Lu Yuan put his hands in his pockets, looking like he was watching a show.

There was a smirk on his face.

He also wanted to see if Lin Yuan had the ability to take good care of Peng Jiahe.

"Why are you pretending to be a master with your hands in your pockets? Do you think you should be proud of winning an argument with a child?"

Lin Yuan first scolded Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan was not angry and continued to watch with a smile.

Then he pulled Peng Jiahe up from the ground and comforted her softly, "Don't cry, I will take good care of you in the future."

Lin Yuan had never taken care of a child this old, so he could only say a few words of comfort in a soft voice.

"Yeah." Peng Jiahe responded with a crying voice, lying in Lin Yuan's arms, and seemed to feel much better.

After her father passed away, her world completely fell apart.

The temporary guardian, Lu Yuan, is a complete bastard and a scoundrel.

It's extremely irresponsible and his mouth is so poisonous.

This was the most touching sentence she had heard after Peng Hai passed away.

Several people got in the car. Lu Yuan looked out the window and said, "Let's stop here. I'll scatter Peng Hai's ashes here, as if he had returned to his roots."

The corners of Lin Yuan's mouth twitched. Even though he had watched the original drama, he couldn't hold it in anymore.

After staying abroad for so long, are your thoughts still so clear?

Scattered the person's ashes?

What hatred or resentment?

Lin Yuan was silent for a moment and then asked, "So, you call this returning to one's roots?"

"What else?" Lu Yuan in the passenger seat asked back.

"So where does Jiahe go to worship her father during festivals? Under the second sycamore tree on Nanjing Road, or under the bridge on Fuxing Road?"

Lu Yuan was stunned. He had thought about it, but his strength did not allow it.

Cemeteries are not cheap these days.

He spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy a piece of land for a cemetery, and the money saved was enough for him and Peng Jiahe to eat delicious food.

Moreover, what happens after death is something that the living are concerned about.

You can do whatever you want with your life.

After all, he is alone and has become indifferent to life and death.

Lin Yuan continued to tease, "As the only friend of Jia He's father, do you want to get away with it like this?"

Lu Yuan retorted: "How can I afford to buy a grave for her father?"

"Don't you have money to fly first class? How come you have no money now?"

"Yes! Don't you have the money to upgrade to first class?" Peng Jiahe also came over and echoed the question.

First-class 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 have money, why don't you buy it?"

Lin Yuan said calmly: "Do I need you to tell me?"

When Peng Jiahe heard this, a look of emotion flashed in his eyes.

"Thank you, cousin."

On the surface, Lu Yuan smiled nonchalantly, 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, it must be of great benefit to Peng Jiahe.

The three men buried Peng Hai's ashes in the cemetery.

Don't underestimate such a small piece of space, it is more expensive than the current housing prices.

Peng Jiahe kowtowed to her father several times politely.

Lin Yuan continued driving and took the two of them to a barber shop.

"Barber shop? Why did you bring me here, cousin?"

Lin Yuan had a look of disgust on his face: "Your hair is irritating to the touch. I'll help you straighten it out."

“No!” Peng Jiahe pouted and said stubbornly, “This is hip-hop, this is the style, West Coast!”

"What's the point of talking about hip-hop or not, this circle is almost rotten." Lin Yuan paused, and his tone became much more serious, "Peng Jiahe, don't let me find out that you have anything to do with this circle."

"Lu Yuan, please say something for me." Seeing Lin Yuan's determined expression, Peng Jiahe had to go to Lu Yuan to plead for mercy.

Lu Yuan laughed evilly: "You two siblings should solve your own problems. I won't get involved."

Having said that, he wanted to turn around and leave.

His wish has been fulfilled, and there is nothing left for him to miss in this world.

The days that followed were free to do whatever I wanted. I drank when I wanted to drink and slept when I wanted to sleep.

Until one day when I get tired of living, I will find a place where no one is around and end it all.

"Where are you going?" Lin Yuan asked.

Lu Yuan still looked heartless and shrugged and said, "Walk around."

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Yuan carefully: "Why do I always feel like you are missing something?"

"Me? What's missing?" Lu Yuan subconsciously looked down at himself, carefully examining himself from head to toe. His clothes were neatly on, his shoes were still on, and there was nothing obviously unusual.

Then the next second, he shouted.

"Fuck, my bag is here!"

Are thieves in the country so powerful now?
In broad daylight, the bag I was carrying disappeared?
My wallet, passport, and credit cards are all in there.

The only thing on my body that is worth some money is the cell phone in my trouser pocket.

This thief still has some humanity.

Peng Jiahe shook his head. He didn’t notice when Lu Yuan’s bag disappeared.

"Forget it. Seeing you like this, I guess you don't have many friends in China. I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

"Me?" Lu Yuan felt extremely amused, "I don't have any friends?"

"Oh?" Lin Yuan teased, "Could it be that you really have a friend who is worth mentioning?"

Lu Yuan smiled: "Do you know Jiang Haokun? He's worth hundreds of billions! He's my best friend."

"You even know President Jiang?" Lin Yuan pretended to be surprised.

Lu Yuan felt a little proud.

But the next second, Lin Yuan said with a hint of sarcasm, "If you don't know, you would think you are worth 10 billion."

"I..." Lu Yuan's lips twitched. How come this guy is even more rude than him?

Peng Jiahe covered her mouth and laughed secretly when she saw Lu Yuan at a loss. She didn't expect that Lu Yuan would experience such a humiliating moment.

"Just wait and see if I make a phone call. Then you'll know whether what I say is true or not."

Lu Yuan picked up his phone and called Jiang Hao Kun.

Half a minute later, Lu Yuan felt a little embarrassed.

Jiang Hao Kun claimed that he had an important meeting and rejected his request for a meeting.

"Well, can you lend me some money?"

He has been living in the United States in recent years, and apart from Jiang Hao Kun, he has no other acquaintances in the country.

"Cousin, don't lend it to him."

Peng Jiahe said angrily that she still remembered that Lu Yuan didn't speak up for her just now.

Lin Yuan just nodded and before he had time to say anything, Lu Yuan's phone rang again.

Jiang Hao Kun 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 been able to eat such a good meal."

"Bullshit." Peng Jiahe attacked mercilessly.

"Okay, now the only task is to deal with your dreadlocks."

Peng Jiahe was not convinced.

This dreadlock is so pretty.

I took care of it myself for a long time.

But under Lin Yuan's firmness, he had no choice but to refuse.

So he could only say bad things about Lin Yuan in English while being arranged by the stylist.

Lu Yuan was laughing secretly on the side.

Two hours later, Peng Jiahe's dreadlocks disappeared, replaced by a head of smooth black hair.

Lin Yuan touched it and felt it felt pretty good.

Then he killed her with a knock to the head.

"You just called me an old-fashioned person in English. You thought I didn't understand, right?"

Peng Jiahe held his head and cried out in pain: "Why didn't you expose me from the beginning?"

"I just want to see if your English vocabulary is rich. At the moment, it seems that it is not very good."

Peng Jiahe was not convinced: "I just couldn't bear to scold you."

Lin Yuan looked at his watch. It was already past six o'clock in the country and the banquet was about to begin.

……

Lin Yuan drove Lu Yuan and Peng Jiahe to a garden on the Bund.

This place was naturally the open-air party that Jiang Haokun specially organized for Gan Jing.

Today is not only the official opening day of Gan Jing’s personal studio, but also Gan Jing’s birthday.

Jiang Hao Kun wants to propose to his girlfriend Gan Jing on this important day.

The three of them looked from afar and saw red flying and green dancing, and pearls surrounding and emerald circling.

Peng Jiahe was happily looking for snacks, while Lu Yuan was looking for Jiang Haokun.

At this moment, the elegant sound of violin suddenly rang out, fireworks were set off, and three waiters walked over pushing a several-layered cake.

Seeing Peng Jiahe's envious eyes, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "On your birthday, I will prepare a bigger cake 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 enjoying the food at 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. She had a pretty face and a very decent white dress, which made her look both pure and noble, giving people great hope of conquering her.

Jiang Haokun smiled happily and clapped his hands: "Thank you, thank you all for coming. Today is an important day for me and Gan Jing."

"First of all, I would like to congratulate Gan Jing on the opening of his personal studio..."

"Secondly, and most importantly, I want to wish you a happy birthday. This is the third birthday party I've been with you. I've been planning for a long time and thinking of all the possibilities on how to make this birthday party leave a beautiful memory in your life..."

Jiang Haokun took the diamond ring from the waitress' tray, slowly knelt on one knee, and looked at Gan Jing affectionately: "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..."

"Haokun, get up first. This is too sudden..." Gan Jing seemed at a loss. She never expected that Jiang Haokun would propose to her.

Lu Yuan couldn't hold back anymore after seeing this scene.

When he called Jiang Hao Kun in the afternoon, he clearly said that he had a private party in the evening and did not tell him anything about Gan Jing.

Didn’t I ask Jiang Hao Kun to take good care of Gan Jing for me?
How come the two of them have reached the stage of proposing?

And from what Jiang Haokun said, it seemed that Jiang Haokun started to hook up with Gan Jing not long after he entered prison.
