Chapter 142: The Legendary Treasure Chest

“It’s been a long time, has it? Then let me talk about what happened a few days ago,” Ye Bufan continued, “Half a month ago, my mom was sick and hospitalized, already on the verge of death.

At that time, the hospital required 50,000 chinese yuan for hospitalization, and when I called you, what did you say?

You… upon hearing I wanted to borrow money, immediately hung up the phone.

You… upon hearing I wanted to borrow money, without a word, told me to scram.

The most excessive was you, who even said to burn it for her after my mom died.”

Listening to her son’s loud condemnation, Ouyang Lan’s nose stung, and tears fell in large drops. She hadn't realized her son had suffered so much injustice during her illness.

Ouyang De and the others were red-faced, speechless for a moment.

Ye Bufan continued, “I have always repaid kindness with kindness and enmity with enmity. If you had been even a little bit kinder to our mother and son back then, giving you this money today would be nothing, but you weren’t.

So, although I have money, I will never give a single cent to ungrateful people.”

Just then, the roar of an engine came, and a Santana sedan drove into the courtyard.

A 60-year-old man got out of the car. It was Shi Jianying, the former principal of Wufeng County Middle School.

He said, “Little Fan, you called me and said someone wanted to donate to the school. Is this true?”

“Of course, it’s true. I am the one donating.” Ye Bufan enthusiastically stepped forward and took Shi Jianying’s hand, “Old Principal, when I was in school and couldn’t afford tuition, you waived 2,000 chinese yuan for me.

Now, I am repaying that kindness by donating 20 million chinese yuan to the school.”

“20 million chinese yuan? Little Fan, you’re not joking, are you?”

Wufeng County was not wealthy, and investment in education was even more strained. Shi Jianying was recently worried about the dilapidated school buildings needing 5,000 chinese yuan for repairs, so when he heard Ye Bufan say someone was donating, he immediately rushed over.

He never expected that the donor would be his own student, and that he would donate as much as 20 million chinese yuan at once.

Ye Bufan turned and pointed to the five suitcases on the ground, saying, “How could I lie to you? The money is already prepared. I’ll help you put it in the car now.”

After speaking, he turned back and pulled all five suitcases. Yu Sitong also ran over to help, and together they squeezed the suitcases into Shi Jianying’s Santana.

“Little Fan, thank you. On behalf of all the teachers and students of Wufeng County Middle School, thank you.”

Shi Jianying was about to bow in thanks but was quickly pulled back by Ye Bufan.

“Old Principal, no need to thank me. You should quickly take this much money.

away. Remember to lock the car.”

After he finished speaking, he saw Shi Jianying into the car and watched the Santana drive away. Only then did Ouyang De and the others come back to their senses.

“You little bastard, you actually donated our money…”

“20 million chinese yuan, that’s our 20 million chinese yuan…”

Ouyang De and the others couldn't stand the shock, stomping their feet and pounding their chests, cursing endlessly.

Ouyang Cheng said to Ouyang Lan, “Big Sister, all this money was donated to outsiders for nothing. Don’t you know how to manage him?”

Having just heard Ye Bufan’s accusations, Ouyang Lan was also extremely disappointed in these people. She said indifferently, “All the money was earned by Little Fan. It has nothing to do with me, and I can’t control it.”

Ouyang Cheng then turned back, pointed at Ye Bufan, and shouted, “You ungrateful wretch! Have you forgotten that our Ouyang Family raised you? You’d rather donate this money than give it to us. You’re truly heartless!”

“You have the nerve to say your Ouyang Family raised me? Only one person raised me, and that’s my mom, Ouyang Lan. Does it have anything to do with you?”

Ye Bufan sneered, “Well, I can’t say it has nothing to do with you at all. When I was 8 years old, Ouyang Duo threw my schoolbag into the water, and I slapped him. As a result, you beat me until my nose and mouth bled.

You people from the Ouyang Family, who among you hasn’t hit me since I was little? Who hasn’t called me a bastard?

If I have to talk about the memories left to me from before, they are all hatred. It’s good enough that I haven’t come to settle scores with you, and yet you still want money from me.

You can have money, but you can say now, whoever has shown me, Ye Bufan, even a little kindness, I will repay it tenfold, hundredfold, thousandfold.”

For a moment, everyone present was speechless. Although they tried hard to recall, what came to mind was how they had bullied this wild child back then; they couldn’t recall a single good deed.

“You didn’t remember, but I remember it all!”

Ye Bufan said, opening the Passat again and taking out another suitcase. Inside, it was still neatly packed with chinese yuan.

He looked at Ouyang Fei and her daughter and said, “Second Aunt, when my mom came to borrow money back then, although you didn’t lend a single cent, Xiao Tong secretly slipped me 500 chinese yuan of her pocket money.

The 500 chinese yuan from back then, I will return to you as 5 million chinese yuan now.

And from now on, no matter what happens to Xiao Tong, all expenses will be covered by me.”

Ouyang Fei was stunned, then excitedly grabbed Yu Sitong, “You dead girl, why didn’t you give your brother more money back then?”

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

At this moment, she was both excited and regretful. If her daughter had given Ye Bufan 5,000 chinese yuan back then, with Ye Bufan’s generosity, wouldn’t she have 50 million chinese yuan? She would have become a multimillionaire in an instant!

Yu Sitong said aggrievedly, “How could I have that much money? That was all I had.”

“Forget it, let’s not talk about the past. Let’s put our money away first.”

Ouyang Fei took the suitcase with a beaming smile. Having 5 million chinese yuan instantly made her so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.

Meanwhile, the faces of the three Ouyang brothers, including Ouyang De and Ouyang Shan, instantly became incredibly ugly.

Ouyang De said with a cold face, “Ouyang Lan, since you are unkind, don’t blame me for being unjust. Today, we must settle accounts properly!”

Ouyang Lan said in surprise, “What accounts do I have to settle with you? When I borrowed money back then, you didn’t lend me a single cent.”

Ye Bufan sneered, “Perhaps they had a change of heart and feel that you dropped out of school to work and support their education, and later helped them find jobs and wives, even selling yourself to that scoundrel Jiang Shaotian. Perhaps they want to repay your kindness!”

“I’m not talking about that.” Ouyang De said with a fierce expression, “Tell me, how did your family suddenly become rich? Why do you suddenly have so much money?”

Ouyang Lan said in surprise, “All this money was earned by Little Fan. Is there a problem?”

Ouyang De said, “Big problem. He earned it? He hasn’t even graduated from university. How could he earn so much money? If he had that ability, why didn’t he earn it earlier? Why did he suddenly become rich now?”

“This…”

Ouyang Lan was also not entirely clear how Ye Bufan had earned the money, and for a moment, she was speechless.

Ye Bufan said, “How I earn money, does it concern you? Who are you? Do I need to report to you?”

“Of course, it concerns us.” Ouyang Zhi said, “I heard a long time ago that when your grandma was alive, she had a treasure chest with treasures passed down from our Old Ancestor. At first, I didn’t believe it, but now it seems the legend is true.”

Ouyang Cheng took two steps forward and pointed at Ouyang Lan’s nose, saying, “No wonder you always hogged Mom back then and didn’t let us brothers visit. So, it was to get our Ouyang Family’s property.”

Ouyang Lan looked bewildered, waving her hands repeatedly and saying, “What are you talking about? Our family doesn’t have any treasure chest?

Besides, when Mom was critically ill back then, you were the ones hiding far away. When did I ever stop you from visiting?”
