Millionaire Suddenly Appears

0When he finished reading the letter, a single tear dripped down his face as his eyes slowly became a blur — resulting in the continuous stream of water drizzling down to the tip of his chin.    0

    

Though his father's letter was simple, his affectionate tone revealed his undying love and longing for his 'son,' Wu Tian.    

    

Even though he knew that the person he called his father over the past many years was actually his foster father, it nevertheless does not change how much effort he poured into showing Wu Tian the love of a parent. This was something he would never be able to repay him.    

    

Just as he was staring blankly at the letter, a shout sounded from outside the house: "Elder Brother Tian, are you back?"    

    

It was Yang Lin calling him from outside.    

    

Hearing the familiar voice, Wu Tian hurriedly put away the letter and walked out.    

    

A girl in a small sling was standing outside. She tied her hair into a ponytail that revealed a hint of immaturity in her delicateness.    

    

This girl was Yang Lin.    

    

It was said that when a girl grew up, she would become more beautiful. It had been half a year since they last met, and this girl had already matured a bit compared to before. Furthermore, her figure had gradually begun to take shape.    

    

Right now, she was like a small flower sprout with a budding tender appearance, truly one of a lovable and gentle young girl.    

    

"Elder Brother Tian." Yang Lin threw herself at him, hugging his arm tightly with both of her hands as her small head continuously arched forward.    

    

"Linlin, you're getting prettier and prettier by the day," Wu Tian rubbed Yang Lin's head and praised her with a smile.    

    

Yang Lin acted adorably like a spoiled child for a good while before she stuck her head out and blinked her big watery eyes, "Elder Brother Tian, did you miss me?"    

    

"Yes, of course."    

    

"Then why didn't you come back to see me?"    

    

"I've been too busy lately to spare the time," Wu Tian scratched his head and said apologetically.    

    

Recently, he had indeed been too busy. Even when he was in school, he had been skipping class. So, how could he have the time to visit back home?    

    

"I don't care. I'll have to punish you." Yang Lin pouted her small mouth and acted like a little kid throwing a tandrum in front of Wu Tian.    

    

Ever since he was young, Wu Tian had always pampered her. Every time, no matter what, he would always follow her — treating her like his own little sister.    

    

"Alright, I accept the punishment." Wu Tian bowed and moved his head closer, waiting for the little girl's punishment.    

    

In the past, this little girl always liked to pinch his ears and nose. Presumably, this punishment was no exception.    

    

"No!"    

    

Yang Lin shook her head and said, "Elder Brother Tian, I'm going to ride on your back like a wooden horse."    

    

"Ride me on my back like a wooden horse?"    

    

"Right."    

    

"That's not appropriate..." Wu Tian muttered, touching his neck awkwardly.    

    

When he was still young, he used to play this sort of game with Yang Lin.    

    

Back then, the little girl was still young, so riding on him like a horse was not a big deal. But how could they still play this sort of game now that she had grown up into an older girl?    

    

"What's wrong with that?" Yang Lin pouted, obviously not understanding what Wu Tian meant.    

    

"What would it look like if you wore a skirt and sat on me as if you were riding a wooden horse?" Wu Tian pointed at the small dress that Yang Lin was wearing and reminded her.    

    

"Oh…"    

    

Only then did Yang Lin realized her unreasonable demands. With a slight blush on her face, she said awkwardly, "It is indeed a little inconvenient."    

    

"Since we've both grown up already, we can't play like we used to when we were younger."    

    

"Yeah, hehe." Yang Lin laughed heartily and put her hand on Wu Tian's arm, "Elder Brother Tian, come to our house and play. Both my parents want to see you!"    

    

"Alright!"    

    

Wu Tian nodded in response, already intending to visit Uncle Yang and Auntie anyway. He then turned around and said to Azure Dragon, "Bring my gift, let's go."    

    

"Yes sir!"    

    

Azure Dragon followed behind while carrying a big and small bag.    

    

Yang Lin waved at Azure Dragon, smiled, and then asked Wu Tian, "Who is that big brother?"    

    

"He's my friend, Azure Dragon."    

    

"He looks so strong," Yang Lin exclaimed, not saying anything else. "Come, let's go to my house."    

    

With that, she grabbed Wu Tian's arm and skipped home.    

    

Since Yang Lin was hugging him tightly, Wu Tian feel sort of uncomfortable with her extensive physical contact.    

    

Yang Lin's home was not far from here. The three of them walked more than a hundred meters until they arrived in front of a dilapidated courtyard.    

    

"Come, let's go in." Yang Lin — pushing open the door — clapped her hands together in a cute fashion.    

    

"Alright!"    

    

Wu Tian adjusted his clothes and walked inside.    

    

Their courtyard layout was similar to Wu Tian's old courtyard — the same old style with flowers, plants, and trees growing in the yad.    

    

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw a middle-aged woman wearing an apron walking out of the room.    

    

She was Yang Lin's mother, who was just cooking in the kitchen. When she saw Wu Tian, she hurriedly came out and greeted him with a warm smile, "Xiao Tian is back."    

    

"Auntie!" Wu Tian called out sweetly.    

    

He had often dined at the Yang family before. During that time, Mr. Yang and Mrs. Yang had taken care of him as if he was their own son, so he was especially grateful to them.    

    

"My family's Old Yang has been nagging at you for a long time!" After saying this, Mrs. Yang turned around and shouted into the room, "Old Yang, Xiao Tian is back."    

    

"Xiao Tian!"    

    

Just as Mr. Yang finished shouting his words, he walked out laughing and said happily, "Brat, it's been a long time since you've been away from home. Have you forgotten about us?"    

    

"I've been too busy these days and can't seem to spare much time." Wu Tian scratched his head apologetically and took the few bags from Azure Dragon, "Auntie, Uncle Yang, this is a gift for you guys."    

    

"Child, you can come back anytime you want, but there's no need to buy presents." Mrs. Yang wiped her hands on her apron and smiled as she went up to receive the large and small bags.    

    

She was overjoyed to see that the bags were filled with expensive clothes and nutritional products.    

    

"Child, you are truly filial. Come, quickly take a seat in the room." After saying this, Mrs. Yang took the gifts and went into the room.    

    

Mr. Yang shook his head with a bittersweet smile, as if he was already used to his wife's personality.    

    

He walked over and patted Wu Tian on his arm, "Xiao Tian, it's been a long time since you've played chess with Uncle. Let's go and play a few rounds."    

    

"Dad…"    

    

Yang Lin stood at the side with a pouting face. She then walked over and reminded him, "Little Brother Tian didn't come back to play chess with you."    

    

"You little girl."    

    

Old Yang rolled his eyes at his daughter, and said in a serious tone, "Xiao Tian, the reason I called you back this time was regarding the demolition of your house. Oh right, where's your father?"    

    

"He went out to work," Wu Tian casually replied, not wanting to reveal the truth about his family.    

    

After all, this kind of thing couldn't be explained in a mere one or two sentences.    

    

Afraid that Uncle Yang would continue to ask questions about his parents, he took the initiative to change the subject: "Uncle Yang, I heard that all our houses will soon be demolished?"    

    

"Right." Old Yang nodded, then opened the door of the inner room, "Xiao Tian, let's go inside first."    

    

"Alright!" Wu Tian nodded and followed Uncle Yang into the room.    

    

The layout inside hadn't changed. It was the same as before, except that there were some new appliances added at home.    

    

Yang Lin poured a cup of tea and passed it to Wu Tian. Just like how a well-behaved daughter would act, she sat on the side and listened to her parent's words.    

    

"Uncle Yang."    

    

Wu Tian drank two mouthfuls of tea and asked with a smile, "Why are our houses suddenly being demolished?"    

    

"I heard that some big boss managed to buy our pieces of land and wants to develop a new building here."    

    

"Hmm... And what are everyone's opinions regarding the demolition?" Wu Tian tried to ask for Uncle Yang's and everyone else's opinions on this matter.
