After being reborn, the young master returned to his village and led his wife and daughters to prosp

But there's nothing we can do; as the saying goes, it's easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with his underlings.

Even the least important person around Lin Fan, this living devil, is now considered a nobody.

Putting everything else aside, just the issue of meeting Lin Fan would have been quite difficult without this young girl's notification.

So the two of them could only agree on a time to come back another time.

After lunch, Lin Fan went to the store.

Xie Hongye naturally told Lin Fan about the two of them.

When Lin Fan heard that it was Liu Ming who had come to see him, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Did your sister-in-law and the others tell you what they came here for?

Xie Hongye looked a little guilty and shook her head, saying, "I'm sorry, Xiao Fan. I didn't ask them. I thought they were like those other people who came to cause trouble before, and I was worried that they might have some bad intentions, so I sent them away."

"Xiao Fan, did I do something wrong? Aren't they quite important?"

Seeing the anxious look on his sister-in-law's face, Lin Fan smiled and shook his head: "Don't overthink it, sister-in-law."

"No matter how important they are, are they more important than my family?"

“I do know that person, but he certainly didn’t have any good intentions for coming to see me at this time.”

"Here's what we'll do. They said they'd come next time, right? Tell them that my hours at the shop are unpredictable. Sometimes I only stay for a few minutes and then leave. If they want to wait for me, it won't be easy. They'll have to wait in the shop the whole time, or they'll miss me. See if they're willing to wait."

Xie Hongye looked at Lin Fan with some confusion and said, "Xiao Fan, if you want to see them like this, wouldn't you miss out?"

"Why don't you set a time? I'll watch the shop for you, and you can come over together when you've agreed on a time."

Looking at Xie Hongye's innocent face, Lin Fan laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, it's true that I want to meet with them, but I also want to take this opportunity to make things difficult for them."

"If I just let them see me so easily, wouldn't all the grievances I suffered at their hands have been for nothing?"

Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, Xie Hongye nodded in realization.

Then, somewhat belatedly, she looked at Lin Fan and asked with a surprised expression, "Xiao Fan, did you have a grudge against them before?"

Lin Fan sighed helplessly when this was mentioned, and said, "It's a long story. Anyway, don't worry, sister-in-law, I will definitely not be friends with them. If we meet, we might be able to talk about some things."

"But at this particular juncture, when they came to me, I was in control, so whatever I did to them, they could only accept it and dared not utter a single word of dissent."

After saying that, Lin Fan waved his hand and said, "Alright, sister-in-law, just do as I said and tell them when they come this afternoon."

"This time I'm going to really whet their appetite."

Hearing this, Xie Hongye didn't say anything more and could only nod helplessly.

"Okay, Xiao Fan, I'll do as you say. When they get here, I'll explain things to them as you instructed!"

Regardless of Lin Fan's motives, Xie Hongye would certainly respect Lin Fan's choice and would not dare to change Lin Fan's decision without authorization.

When Liu Ming returned in the afternoon, he still couldn't find Lin Fan in the shop and couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Young lady, when will Lin Fan arrive?"

"Could you give us some specific information, such as when Lin Fan usually comes to the store, so we can make time to come over?"

Seeing the two of them come again, Xie Hongye smiled kindly and, recalling what Lin Fan had told her, said politely, "I'm sorry, but our boss doesn't usually come to the store at a fixed time."

“He might come in the morning sometimes, or in the afternoon. Sometimes he stays for several hours, and sometimes he just walks in and leaves.”

"For example, it was a bit unfortunate that you came this time. If you had come twenty minutes earlier, you could have seen him in the store. So I can't give you a definite answer. If you want to see him, you'll have to come again next time."

Hearing Xie Hongye's words, Liu Ming took a deep breath, forced a smile, and said, "Then I wonder if you've mentioned the two of us to Lin Fan, and what he said?"

Recalling Lin Fan's instructions in her mind, Xie Hongye nodded and said, "He did mention it, but the boss said he wasn't very familiar with the two of you and was somewhat unfamiliar with your names. If you are truly sincere in wanting to see him, then you will naturally meet when the time is right."

Upon hearing this ambiguous answer, Liu Ming and the other person beside him were both stunned.

"May we meet again someday?" What kind of answer is that?

What does it mean to be destined to meet?

Are you suggesting they come every now and then to see if they can run into Lin Fan?

Moreover, to say that he was not familiar with them and that he was unfamiliar with their names is too fake. Lin Fan had even gone to see Liu Ming before, and at that time he called him "Uncle" very affectionately.

Liu Ming wasn't stupid. At this point, he clearly understood that Lin Fan didn't seem to want to see them. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that and would have arranged for them to meet directly.

Upon thinking about this, Liu Ming immediately became anxious.

Lin Fan is their only lifeline right now. If Lin Fan refuses to help, the mess they're in will really crush them.

Therefore, I must see Lin Fan in person no matter what, even if I have to beg him for help.

However, the current difficulty is that even meeting Lin Fan is troublesome, let alone discussing business with him.

Thinking of this, Liu Ming looked at Xie Hongye and said, "Young lady, could you please send me a message next time your boss comes over? I'll leave you an address and come see him as soon as possible."

As Liu Ming spoke, he took out a few red bills from his pocket and slowly placed them in front of Xie Hongye.

Xie Hongye paused for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I think you've misunderstood. Besides being a shop assistant in this store, I'm also Xiao Fan's sister-in-law."

"So I would never do anything to upset Xiao Fan for this money. What I'm saying and my attitude are all based on Xiao Fan's wishes, and I won't change his intentions on my own. No matter how much money you give me, it won't help. If you continue like this, you won't be welcome to come into this store in the future."
