Chapter 1288: Lin's mother was shocked! Shocked again! Shocked once more!

Lin Lang took out a pack of wet wipes from his personal space, pulled out two, and gently wiped the bloodstains on his mother's face and arms while answering with a smile.

"Mom, Jasmine knows I have the superpower to travel through time."

“You’ve been so good to Jasmine since she was little. When she sees you come back to life, she’ll be overjoyed, not scared.”

The bloodstains on Shen Cuiping's face were wiped clean, and tears welled up in her eyes again. She asked expectantly, "Son, hasn't Jasmine grown up so much? Isn't she especially beautiful now?"

Lin Lang raised an eyebrow: "That goes without saying, Jasmine was a beauty from a young age, and she'll be a stunning beauty when she grows up!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Cuiping smiled and said with relief, "Jasmine became the Lin family's daughter-in-law and even gave birth to a son for our family. Your father can rest in peace now."

"Mom, you don't know, Jasmine is now a wildly popular idol singer all over China!"

Shen Cuiping's eyes lit up, her face filled with disbelief and surprise. She asked repeatedly, "Really, son? Jasmine has loved singing since she was little, and her childhood dream was to become a singer. And she really grew up to be a big singer?"

Lin Lang's tone grew increasingly proud: "Mom, look over there."

Shen Cuiping quickly followed Lin Lang's gaze.

Not far away, on the street, there was a Hualian Supermarket chain convenience store. A large poster was pasted on the window, featuring a beautiful and charming female celebrity smiling as she endorsed a chocolate.

"Son, why does the female celebrity in that advertisement look so much like Jasmine?"

Shen Cuiping's tone carried a hint of uncertain surprise.

Lin Lang chuckled: "That's right, that's an advertisement Jasmine filmed for Dove chocolate. Isn't your daughter-in-law beautiful?"

Shen Cuiping felt her heart pounding, her steps faltering. She instinctively walked toward the convenience store on the street, stopped in front of the window, and stared intently at the advertising poster. Her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

She gently stroked the shop window glass, choking back tears as she sighed, "Oh, son, Jasmine has grown up to be even more stunning than when she was little. She's become more and more beautiful with age!"

Looking at his mother's reddened eyes, Lin Lang's voice softened and deepened: "Mom, you don't know, Jasmine's journey has been very difficult, it's not as glamorous as you see it."

Shen Cuiping immediately looked away from the poster and turned to Lin Lang, eagerly asking, "What's wrong? Son, tell your mother quickly."

"The year you and my dad died in the car accident, I was admitted to Shanghai University of Finance and Economics." Lin Lang's Adam's apple bobbed, and his tone was somewhat bitter.

“During my first semester living at school, Jasmine’s father suffered a tragedy and passed away.”

"Not long after, Aunt Qiaoyun also developed kidney failure."

"In order to treat Aunt Qiaoyun's illness, Jasmine gritted her teeth and sold their old house, and moved to a shantytown in the suburbs."

"Back then, none of us had cell phones, and we lost contact with each other over time."

"Aunt Qiaoyun's uremia is getting worse and worse, which has exhausted all of Jasmine's family's savings. Jasmine was admitted to Shanghai Conservatory of Music. She works part-time to earn a living while also taking care of Aunt Qiaoyun who is suffering from the disease."

"Oh dear, what a tragedy!" Shen Cuiping's heart clenched, and she hurriedly asked in a trembling voice, "How is your Aunt Qiaoyun now? Did she recover?"

“I lost contact with Jasmine for four whole years.” A hint of relief flashed across Lin Lang’s eyes as he slowly spoke, “After I graduated from university and earned my first pot of gold, I was thinking of investing in some real estate and waiting for it to appreciate in value.”

"It just so happened that we ran into Jasmine, who was working part-time as a real estate salesperson during her summer break from university, at the sales office. That's how we unexpectedly met again."

"After learning more, I found out that Aunt Qiaoyun wouldn't live much longer if she didn't get a kidney transplant."

Shen Cuiping's heart jumped into her throat, and she pressed, "Did your Aunt Qiaoyun get a kidney transplant in the end? Where would they get the money for a kidney transplant?"

Lin Lang smiled faintly: "At the time, I didn't say a word and bought several buildings from Jasmine in full. The sales commission made Jasmine a considerable income, which was just enough to cover Aunt Qiaoyun's kidney transplant costs."

Shen Cuiping's eyes widened suddenly, her mouth slightly open, her face filled with disbelief and astonishment.

"Son, did I hear that right? You just said you bought several buildings at once, not several apartments?"

Lin Lang's eyes gleamed with a hint of triumph: "Mom, you heard me right, I bought several buildings at once."

Shen Cuiping exclaimed, "My God! Houses in Shanghai are so expensive! How much would it cost to buy several buildings in one lump sum with cash?"

Lin Lang replied casually, "It's just a small amount of money."

"Later, I used my connections to help Aunt Qiaoyun find a matching kidney."

Shen Cuiping pressed further, "Did your Aunt Qiaoyun successfully get a kidney transplant?"

Lin Lang's eyes shone with warmth. "It's a success! Aunt Qiaoyun is recovering very well after her kidney transplant. She just needs to take anti-rejection medication long-term. When we get back to the Lin family villa, you'll be able to meet my mother-in-law, Qiaoyun."

Shen Cuiping let out a long sigh of relief, and the tightness in her chest instantly dissipated: "Thank goodness, your Aunt Qiaoyun's kidney failure has been cured, and Jasmine's life will be a little easier now."

"Yes!"

"After Jasmine and I reunited, I personally wrote pop songs for her and served as her producer to help her release a music album. Within a year, I made her a hot new idol singer."

“Son, you were tone-deaf when you were little, but you grew up to write songs and become a music producer?” Shen Cuiping said with surprise.

"Mom, there's a saying that goes, 'If you haven't seen someone for three days, you should look at them with new eyes.' You can't judge people with old eyes!"

"But son, didn't you study finance in college?"

"That's right!"

"However, I acquired Wheatfield Music Company, so it's easy for me to release Jasmine's music albums and promote her as a star."

Upon hearing this, Shen Cuiping was shocked once again: "Son, so you're actually the big boss of a music company?"

Lin Lang replied with a smile, "I am the boss of a music and film company. Currently, the top singers and film stars in the Chinese music scene have all been signed by me to Wheatfield Music and Film Company."

"Of the ten blockbuster movies in theaters, at least seven have scripts I wrote, and they were co-invested and produced by our company and Sugarman Films."

Shen Cuiping was unaware that Cai Yinong, the beautiful chairwoman of Sugarman Films, was also one of her daughters-in-law.

Even half of the female artists under Wheatfield Music and Film Company were Lin Lang's concubines.

Upon hearing this, Shen Cuiping beamed with joy and exclaimed, "Son, you've really made something of yourself!"

Lin Lang, like a child hoping for praise from his mother, said with a smug look on his face, "Mom, without being modest, your son is now a great writer who has won the Nobel Prize in Literature twice!"

"I am now one of the most outstanding literary figures in the Xia Kingdom!"

"My pen name is 'The Dream of Nine Hundred Million Girls,' and I have countless readers and fans all over the world!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Cuiping covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise, "Really? Son, don't tease your mother. What books have you published?"

Lin Lang chuckled and immediately took out several novels from his personal space, eagerly awaiting his mother's approval.

Shen Cuiping exclaimed in surprise, "Son, how did you conjure up so many books like magic?"

Lin Lang replied with a smile, "Mom, I have a portable spatial storage space where I can freely store items."

Surprised, Shen Cuiping quickly flipped through Lin Lang's bestselling books and said with some doubt, "Son, the author of these books is indeed under the pen name 'The Dream of Nine Hundred Million Girls,' but how can you prove that you wrote them?"

"Mom, look, open the title page of the novel. There's a photo of the author, an author biography, and a preface."

Shen Cuiping hurriedly flipped open a copy of the novel "The Three-Body Problem" and exclaimed with delight, "Wow! Son, you really are the author of this book!"

Shen Cuiping flipped through several of the best-selling books that were wildly popular at the time, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the author's photo and biography were both by Lin Lang.

"Wow! Son, you've really made something of yourself!"

"Son, you're a two-time Nobel laureate in literature! Our Lin family's ancestral graves must be emitting auspicious smoke!" Shen Cuiping cried tears of joy, deeply proud of Lin Lang.

At this time, Shen Cuiping was unaware that the president of Yangshizi Publishing House, where Lin Lang published his novel, was her best friend Guan Tingmei, who had become one of her daughters-in-law and even gave birth to a granddaughter.

When Shen Cuiping returns to the Lin family villa, Guan Tingmei will be in for a lot of trouble!

Just imagining it, the awkward scene when Guan Tingmei sees her best friend Shen Cuiping come back to life and she has to call Lin Lang "Mom" is absolutely explosive.

Lin Lang chuckled and said, "Mom, I'll put these little books I've published away first, and you can read them slowly when you have time."

"Good, good! Son, you are your mother's pride!"

Lin Lang felt delighted to receive his mother's praise, and a childlike, innocent smile appeared on his face.

As an orphan who had rediscovered his mother's love, this casual praise from his mother was incredibly precious to Lin Lang.

"Son, let's go home quickly, I can't wait to see Jasmine and my grandson!"

Lin Lang put the books back into his personal space, a smile playing on his lips: "Mom, perfect timing, there's a convenience store right here."

"I'll take you inside to buy some snacks that kids like. You can't come empty-handed when you meet your grandson for the first time."

Shen Cuiping slapped her thigh and nodded repeatedly as if she had just realized something: "Yes, yes, son, you're absolutely right!"

"I'm a grandmother now, and this is the first time I'm meeting my own grandson, how can I go empty-handed?!"

She touched her empty pockets and looked worried. "But son, I don't have any money on me. What should I do?"

"Mom, you don't have any money on you, but I do."

Lin Lang raised his chin and pointed to the sign above his head, "Mom, what's the name of this convenience store?"

Shen Cuiping looked up in the direction Lin Lang pointed, squinted, and read aloud, "Shanghai Hualian Supermarket Chain Convenience Store, what's wrong, son?"

"Mom, I acquired Hualian Supermarket Co., Ltd. a few years ago! Now it's a listed company under our Lin Group, with more than 2100 chain stores nationwide to date."

"Huh?" Shen Cuiping's eyes widened instantly, her face filled with shock. "Really, son? You actually acquired such a large retail group as Hualian and made it our family's?"

It is worth mentioning that Shanghai Hualian Department Store became famous in 1988, so Shen Cuiping was aware of Shanghai Hualian's reputation before her death.

"Mom, how could this be fake? Hualian Group is just one of the many listed companies under the Lin Group."

"Come on, Mom, I'll take you inside to pick out some snacks that the kids love. I guarantee it will make you, as their grandma, very proud when you meet your grandson for the first time."

Before Shen Cuiping could recover from her shock, she followed Lin Lang lightly into the brightly lit Shanghai Hualian Supermarket convenience store.

As soon as he entered, a female salesperson looked up and saw Lin Lang.

She was stunned for a moment, then bowed respectfully with a look of fear on her face, her voice trembling slightly: "Hello, Chairman Dong!"

"Welcome, Chairman, to our store for your inspection!"

"I...I'll go get the store manager right away!"

After saying that, the saleswoman turned around and ran quickly to the back room. Shen Cuiping's heart skipped a beat at her hurried figure.

She turned to look at Lin Lang beside her, her eyes wide with astonishment, her voice rising slightly: "Son, really?"

"She really calls you Chairman!"

"Are you really the big boss of Hualian Group?"

Lin Lang's eyes were full of smiles: "Mom, don't be so surprised. Didn't I just tell you? Your son is now the richest man in the world."

"From now on, you will no longer have to live a frugal life. You will have more money than you can spend and more happiness than you can enjoy. Tomorrow I will give you a bank card with 1 billion yuan as a gift. You can spend it however you want!"

"Wow! A billion? My God!" Shen Cuiping was stunned by these words, her mouth slightly open, unable to close it for a long time.
