"The thank you gift is... this apartment?!"

For a moment, Lin Jie was taken aback by the An Family's grand gesture.

He had anticipated that after the successful surgery, the An Family might express their gratitude, but he didn't expect that their gesture would be to give away a luxury apartment directly.

Lin Jie wasn't too familiar with the market price of this apartment, but he was sure it wouldn't be less than ten million.

Lin Jie breathed a little heavily and declined, "Kexin, at the time, our agreement was mutually beneficial. I used your operating room to perform surgery on Miaomiao, so this time, you don't owe me anything."

"Moreover, this thank you gift is too valuable; I can't accept it!"

"This mutual benefit is extremely unequal!" An Kexin tucked a few playful strands of hair behind her ear and softly said, "The three of us in our family—you saved Kemeng first, and now you've saved my father. Maybe in the future, you'll save me too."

"The gratitude for life-saving is immeasurable, let alone a mere apartment! Lin Jie, just take it; you deserve it."

She smiled a bit proudly, "To exaggerate a bit, saying this apartment is a drop in the bucket for the An Family is quite an overstatement, but even if we give away a few more apartments like this, it won't harm us."

Lin Jie thought that made sense; in this society, the rich get richer. The money he earned with a month's hard work might not even cover their meal expenses.

"Brother, come and look! Someone is setting off fireworks in the park!" Lin Miao, leaning against the window glass, excitedly shouted and signaled to Lin Jie.

Lin Jie walked over to Lin Miao's side in a few steps, stood shoulder to shoulder with her, and looked at the colorful lights in the park and the occasional small cluster of fireworks.

"This is Binhai Park, which used to be the old botanical garden. When we were kids, we came here more than once to play. Do you remember?"

Lin Miao looked around, trying to find some old impressions, but obviously failed. She shook her head and said, "The changes are too big. I don't remember anything. Today, I even went back to Garden Village with Tingting."

She sighed and said, "The house is still the same old house, but I have a very unfamiliar feeling."

Lin Jie reached out and put his arm around Lin Miao's shoulders, saying, "You need to get used to using your eyes to take in the surroundings again, and you'll adapt soon. Miaomiao, do you remember I promised to get you a big house?"

"Of course I remember!"

Lin Miao leaned her head on Lin Jie's shoulder and said, with a smile, "Today, Tingting and I even went to a real estate agency to check the market. Our money is enough to buy a house of about a hundred square meters, but it has to be in a more remote location, hehe..."

As she said this, Lin Miao felt something in her hand. She raised her hand to look—a bunch of keys!

"Brother, what's this?"

Lin Jie smiled and said, "These are house keys, the keys to this house. Miaomiao, this house is ours now. Well, to be precise, it's your house."

Lin Jie accepted the An Family's gratitude, and with his insistence, the house was transferred to Lin Miao's name.

The An Family had meticulously prepared this house, fully equipped with bedding, kitchenware, and even pots and pans, ready for move-in.

That night, Lin Jie and Lin Miao stayed there, while An Kexin took a car back to the Weize Building to take care of her father.

The next morning, Lin Jie and Lin Miao were busy moving house.

According to Lin Jie's suggestion, they only needed to move their clothes, personal items, and some things of sentimental value. All other old items could be sold or thrown away since there was nothing lacking in the new house.

Lin Miao picked and chose, saying that this item had meaning, that one could still be used, and that another had sentimental value. In the end, only a small part was discarded, and most were moved into the new home.

During this move, Li Ting, who was on National Day holiday, still couldn't escape being roped in. The two siblings called her over to help, making her so exhausted that she was panting like a little pug.

Meanwhile, the siblings said that in order not to affect Li Ting's dieting plan, they just ordered takeout for a simple lunch...

Lin Jie awoke from a long midday nap, finding the room eerily quiet. After searching, he found a message from Lin Miao on the fridge, resembling chicken scratch!

Looking at the terribly messy handwriting and some braille-like dots, Lin Jie first wanted to laugh, then sighed!

When Lin Miao was injured, she was only ten years old, in fourth grade, hoping for her eyesight to improve.

But after three years of recovery at home with no progress, their grandfather lost hope and sent her to a special education school, where she studied for three years. Lin Miao also got used to writing and reading in braille.

After leaving the special education school, she became an apprentice at Shuluo Hall and remained there until now.

"Restoring her vision, there are indeed many things Miaomiao needs to adapt to, change, and learn!"

Feeling emotional, Lin Jie looked again at the note, which said, "Brother, Tingting and I are out shopping. Come pick us up for dinner."

As it was nearing four o'clock, Lin Jie took the opportunity to do some exercises.

Having slept quite a bit the past few days, his biological clock was a bit off, so he needed to adjust his body quickly.

As he started the third set of exercises, his phone suddenly rang; it was a call from An Kexin.

"Lin Jie, Fei Xue told me she broke Qin Yuanhang's shin."

"What happened?" Lin Jie asked in a deep voice.

He had already investigated. Apart from Li Donghai's wife, who was also Du Feixue's cousin, there were two more accomplices that night: one was Qin Yuanhang, and the other was a young woman, a beautician friend of Du Feixue's cousin.

Concerned about alerting the enemies, Lin Jie decided to put these two accomplices aside, planning to deal with them later when the opportunity arose.

On the phone, An Kexin said softly, "Fei Xue said it was Qin Yuanhang who stirred up trouble, sowing discord, which led her cousin to impulsively do something regrettable."

"She pretended to accept Qin Yuanhang's attentions, had him accompany her to the dojo to practice martial arts, and then feigned an accident to break his shin, to vent for you and Lin Miao."

Hearing this, Lin Jie sneered disdainfully and said, "Regardless of whose instigations led to this, the responsible party is Li Donghai and his wife. They haven't shown up to this day. Are they now throwing a pawn out to take the blame?"

On the phone, An Kexin sighed lightly and said, "Fei Xue said they are hosting a dinner tonight at the Binhai Grand Hotel to personally apologize to you and Miaomiao."

"Lin Jie, what do you think?"

Lin Jie chuckled coldly and said blandly, "They once had a chance to apologize and lessen my anger, but they missed it. Once an opportunity is missed, there won't be a second one."

An Kexin looked at the phone after the call ended, rubbing her forehead.

When explaining the incident to Du Feixue that day, she was either deliberately or unintentionally vague about the severity of Lin Miao's injury.

Perhaps the Du Family thought Lin Miao only suffered a severe concussion and believed the injury wasn't serious, and since her vision was restored, they deemed it not too severe a matter.

"What kind of revenge will you take?" An Kexin murmured softly to herself.
