Reborn Master vs. School Beauty

Chapter 12 fruit stand

Liang Qiuying’s face sank, "That’s not something you should know. Don’t ask questions that aren’t related to you!"

Seeing her reaction, Li Qiang became suspicious, but he didn’t dare to ask any questions. He could only nod his head, bid her farewell, and go downstairs.

After experiencing so much suffering, Li Qiang felt that his stomach was bloated, but the horrible smell lingered for a long time. He bitterly smiled in his heart: "This Xiao Ying is too bad, she doesn’t know how to cook so don’t cook. What is the meaning of forcing people to eat it? It is too difficult."

When I reached the roadside, I heard someone selling fruits not far away. I wanted to buy some pears to try, I had just eaten a few dates from Liang Qiuying’s place, and my mouth was dry, just enough to moisten my throat, so I walked over to the fruit stand.

When he saw the person selling the fruits, he was immediately surprised. "Isn’t he his classmate, Tian Yinghui?"

Tian Yinghui had a round face and round eyes. She was not tall and appeared petite and cute. Her attitude was always amiable, but she rarely spoke to Li Qiang and the two of them didn’t interact much.

"Old classmate, why did you come here to sell fruits?" Li Qiang asked curiously.

Tian Yinghui said with reddened eyes, "My mother is seriously ill. I had no choice but to sell some fruits to supplement the family during school hours."

Li Qiang sighed with emotion and thought, "I didn’t expect that in twenty years time, science and technology would improve and the economy would develop. But there are still so many people living in poverty in this society."

When he thought of this, he took out a hundred-dollar bill and passed it to Tian Yinghui. "I’ll buy a few pears. There’s no need to find them."

Tian Yinghui immediately said, "How much are these pears? You have too much of these, so I can’t take them."

Li Qiang forcefully stuffed it into her hands and said, "This is for you, take it. We’re all in the same class, there’s no need to push and shove."

Tian Yinghui did not expect Li Qiang, who did not usually talk to her, to be such a good person. She was moved to tears and said, "Thank you. You are such a good person."

At this moment, a few people suddenly gathered around and asked, "Have you paid the protection fee for selling things in our territory?"

When Li Qiang heard the familiar voice, he turned around and saw the leader of the group, who had a head full of white fur and a pair of large earrings. He could not be more familiar with the voice; it was Hu Bin’s underlings.

When the white-haired man saw Li Qiang, he took a few steps back in fear. Then, he respectfully said, "So it’s Brother Qiang. What a coincidence."

Li Qiang bared his teeth in delight and said, "You’ve received it from my student for the protection fee. Your hands are really long!"

The white fur looked at Tian Yinghui and immediately understood. "So she’s Brother Qiang’s friend. No problem then. We won’t accept any protection fees from now on and will definitely protect her. What do you think?"

Li Qiang nodded in satisfaction and said, "That’s right, we are all brothers from all parts of the world, there is no need to fight and kill each other. You guys should always do more useful things, don’t always bully the weak and let me see you shouting at others, I will still teach you guys a lesson, do you hear me?!"

With a wave of his hand, these guys quickly backed off in fright. The white hair repeatedly said, "Since Brother Qiang wants to meet his friends here, then we’ll take our leave first!" As he said this, he quickly led his henchmen away.

Tian Yinghui’s face turned red as she thanked Li Qiang. She had never thought that the cowardly Li Qiang of the past would help her so much like a hero!

"What’s wrong with your mother? Do I need you to do business and earn money? " Li Qiang asked.

"It’s a heart bypass. Just the operation alone costs more than 100,000 yuan. It took my family a long time to collect the money." Tian Yinghui said in a low voice.

Li Qiang said to Tian Yinghui, "It’s not easy to start a small business here. Not only are you working hard, you’re also making very little profit. You’d better think of another way."

Tian Yinghui lowered her head and said, "It’s not so easy to earn money now. It’s just that this fruit stand was given to me by a kind neighbor at a low price."

"How much do you still need?"

"Close to fifty thousand dollars."

Li Qiang sighed and thought, "Unlucky people have their own unhappiness. Although I don’t have many interactions with this little girl, seeing her in such a painful situation made my heart hurt. But right now, I’m just an ordinary middle school student with limited abilities, how can I help her?"

He thought about his contract with Lin Ya Shi and said to Tian Yinghui, "I’ll help you think of a way, but it might not succeed."

Tian Yinghui was moved and said, "It’s alright. I can’t thank you enough for helping me so wholeheartedly. We’re all poor students, so don’t make things too difficult for us."

Li Qiang smiled and said, "Maybe I can help you. If I collect the medical expenses for you, how would you thank me?"

Tian Yinghui said firmly, "I’ll be your slave!"

Li Qiang smiled and shook his head. "No need to exaggerate so much. Just don’t stab me in the back."

Tian Yinghui smiled gently. "Do you still remember that dream?" I’m wondering why you dreamt that Lin Ya Shi would stab you. "

Li Qiang said embarrassedly, "Alright, let’s not talk about this for now. I’ll help you collect the money. Let’s not talk about other things." He said goodbye to Tian Yinghui.

Tian Yinghui didn’t have any confidence in this. She didn’t believe that Li Qiang could help her collect the medical fees. However, she was very grateful for Li Qiang’s warm help.

Li Qiang came to a quiet park. He took out his phone and dialed Lin Ya Shi’s number.

At this moment, Lin Ya Shi was bathing in the bathtub. He wanted to refuse the call when he saw that it was Li Qiang’s phone, but she had a fight with Yang Rong just now. Yang Rong said that if Lin Ya Shi couldn’t find a suitable bodyguard, she would personally look for his.

"I promised you that I would protect you 24 hours a day. However, you have to pay 50,000 yuan in advance." Li Qiang said on the other end of the phone.

Lin Ya Shi proudly thought, "This guy is really greedy for money. After going around in such a big circle, he still agreed to my conditions. Isn’t it all just for money!" Therefore, he said, "Alright, let’s sign the contract tomorrow and settle this matter. I’ll tell you clearly, as long as the conditions are set, you have to protect me without leaving a single inch behind. You’re not allowed to go against me in any way."

However, Li Qiang did not show any weakness and said, "Remember, I am your bodyguard, not your servant. If you have anything to make me unhappy, I will definitely not forgive you!"

Lin Ya Shi angrily said, "Why are you talking to me like this? Is this how you treat your employer?"

Li Qiang sneered, "Sorry, if you’re not satisfied with me, then please ask someone else. If you think I’m suitable, then you have to tolerate my temper and personality."
