#15 - Chapter 15 Dad, I made some money! - The Goddess Brings The Baby To The House, Awakening The Daddy System!

After driving for a few kilometers, Lin Hai and the others finally felt relieved.

Lin Chen's driving skills were indeed impressive. Despite maintaining a good speed, Lin Chen drove the car very smoothly.

"Mom and Dad, was the journey here smooth?"

Lin Chen asked.

Lin Hai nodded: "It was smooth. It's just that your mom is impatient and left quite early, waiting at the airport for almost two hours."

Chen Mei said: "It's better to arrive early than late. If something happened on the way causing delays, you'd probably be even more anxious than me."

"The plane won't wait for anyone."

Lin Xiaoxi said in her childish voice: "Grandpa and Grandma, Mom has gone abroad. Otherwise, she could have sent Mom's plane to pick you up, so the plane wouldn't fly away."

Lin Chen was taken aback.

The Xu family has a private plane?

Then the Xu family's assets must be much more than 10 billion.

A private plane probably costs several hundred million per aircraft, plus other expenses. It might be a bit difficult to maintain with just 10 billion in assets.

Lin Hai turned his head and exchanged a glance with Chen Mei, who was sitting in the back.

The wealthier the Xu family is, the lower the chances of Lin Chen and Xu Mengyao being together. It might be difficult for his son to get married in the future.

"Qianqian, have you ever been on Mom's plane?"

Chen Mei asked.

Lin Xiaoxi nodded: "Grandma, I have. I've been on it many times, but I can't count how many times."

"Qianqian is still young, it's normal that she can't count."

Chen Mei said with a smile.

More than an hour later, Lin Chen drove the car back to the residential area. Lin Hai said: "Son, didn't you used to live here?"

"Yes."

Lin Chen nodded.

Lin Xiaoxi giggled and said: "Grandpa, I chose this house with Daddy! Daddy and I both like it here."

"Okay... if Qianqian likes it, that's good."

Lin Hai frowned secretly.

Lin Chen living here probably spends Xu Mengyao's money, which would further reduce the chances of Lin Chen and Xu Mengyao being together.

The four of them took the elevator upstairs and entered the house. Lin Xiaoxi hopped around, taking Lin Hai and the others on a tour everywhere.

"Son, come here for a moment."

Taking advantage of Lin Xiaoxi playing with Chen Mei, Lin Hai called Lin Chen to the side: "Apartment prices in Modu(魔都: Shanghai) are expensive. The rent for this apartment isn't cheap, right? Is it money from Qianqian's mom?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "I rented it myself."

Lin Hai nodded: "That's good then. Son, your mom and I don't want to climb up to their Xu family, but since you and Xu Mengyao have a child, it would be best if you could be together."

"Don't spend her money, or it will give people a bad impression."

"Your mom and I have some savings. I'll transfer 100,000 to you when we get back. You should save where you can and spend where you should."

Lin Chen was touched.

Earning 100,000 yuan in the countryside is not easy.

"Son, let me be frank with you. Our family has a total of 300,000 to 400,000 in savings. The remaining money is for your marriage. All we can give you is this 100,000 yuan."

Lin Hai said.

If Lin Chen and Xu Mengyao can't be together, and he marries someone else in the future, they will still have to host a banquet and give betrothal gifts.

They definitely can't spend all the money.

Lin Chen said with a smile: "Dad, let me show you something."

Lin Chen took out his phone from his pocket.

He opened the chat history with Lin Wenhan.

"Since I'm laid off this time, and I'm free anyway, I started writing fairy tales. I didn't expect to have a talent for it."

"The highest offer for my ten fairy tales is already 680,000 yuan. After signing a contract with the website, the website gave me a 300,000 yuan signing bonus. I used that money to buy that car."

Lin Chen said with a smile.

Lin Hai was shocked. His son has this talent?

"Is this true?"

Lin Hai said in disbelief.

Lin Chen nodded: "Of course it's true. But you and Mom have to keep this a secret. If people know my identity, I'm afraid it will affect me taking care of Xiaoqian(小茜: Xiaoxi)."

"Log in to the website and take a look."

Lin Hai said.

He was a little suspicious. Could it be that Xu Mengyao gave Lin Chen the money, and Lin Chen forged this chat history?

"Dad, what about the trust between us?"

Lin Chen curled his lips and said.

Soon, Lin Chen opened the computer and logged into Tongxin(童心: childlike innocence) website.

Lin Hai saw Lin Chen's backend data.

Lin Chen said: "Dad, look, these ten fairy tales have already received 30,000 to 40,000 yuan in tips alone, and there will definitely be more tips later."

"I can get 90% of the readers' tips."

Lin Hai asked: "You haven't sold them yet?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "680,000 yuan is a bit low. I plan to contact the publisher directly for publication in the future. In the long run, the money earned will definitely be much more than 680,000 yuan."

"These are golden hens that lay eggs."

Lin Hai nodded: "That's indeed better. Son, if you develop well, will there be hope for you and Xu Mengyao in the future?"

Lin Chen said with a smile: "Dad, there is still hope. Even if there is no hope, you don't have to worry about my marriage in the future."

"Okay."

Lin Hai nodded.

As long as Lin Chen can earn money himself and has his own career, he definitely won't need them to worry about his marriage then.

"Dad, you must keep this a secret. I don't want to be surrounded by many fans when I take Qianqian(茜茜: Xiaoxi) out in the future."

Lin Chen warned.

His fan base is not very large now, but as he writes more and more fairy tales, and publishes them in the future, his fan base will definitely be very considerable then.

If his identity is revealed, he might be surrounded.

"Okay, don't worry."

"If people know you're making money, they'll ask us to borrow money."

Lin Hai said.

He knows the situation in the countryside. They hate you for being poor and fear you for being rich.

"Dad, I don't have much money on hand right now. When I have money, I'll give you some money to show my filial piety."

Lin Chen said with a smile.

Lin Hai shook his head: "You don't need to give us money. Your mom and I can still move, and we can still earn some money every year. We haven't reached the point where we need you to give us money for retirement yet."

"Just take good care of Qianqian(茜茜: Xiaoxi) and yourself."

Speaking of this, Lin Hai hesitated a little and said: "Son, we originally saved that money for your marriage, or to help you buy a house, but now you don't need it."

"Should I use that money to renovate the house?"

"The house is old and dilapidated. I'm afraid Qianqian(茜茜: Xiaoxi) won't be used to living there."

Lin Chen said: "Dad, don't renovate. The layout of our house is not good, and it's not a frame structure, so it's not good to make major changes. Why not tear down the house and build a new Chinese-style villa?"

"I'll give you the money when it's not enough."

Lin Hai frowned and said: "Demolishing and rebuilding will cost 500,000 yuan just for the bare walls, plus the renovation, the total price will be close to one million yuan."

Lin Chen said with a smile: "Dad, I wrote these ten stories within a month, and they are worth at least one million yuan."

"You don't have to worry about the money for building the house."

"The house should be built well, so you can live comfortably, and Xu Mengyao might follow me back in the future?"

Lin Hai took a deep breath: "Okay, let's build a house."

"Daddy... Daddy."

Lin Xiaoxi ran to the door of the study.

"Xiaoqian(小茜: Xiaoxi), what's wrong?"

Lin Chen asked.

Lin Xiaoxi said: "Daddy, I told Grandma that the food you make is the most delicious, but Grandma doesn't believe me."

"Daddy, I'm a good baby and I don't lie."

Chen Mei also walked over.

"Son, why does Qianqian(茜茜: Xiaoxi) think your level of cooking is delicious?"
