#4 - Chapter 4 Xu Mengyao’s wealth!

Lin Chen took Lin Xiaoxi back to their rented apartment.

"Daddy, why are we here again?"

"Aren't we moving tomorrow?"

Lin Xiaoxi asked, puzzled.

Lin Chen smiled gently, "Nobody has been living here, Xiaoxi. Don't you think it's a bit dirty everywhere?"

"Daddy needs to clean the house."

"That way, we can just move our things in tomorrow."

Lin Xiaoxi nodded, "Daddy, I'll help you!"

"Great!"

"With Xiaoxi helping Daddy, we'll definitely get it clean faster."

Lin Chen said with a smile.

Soon, Lin Chen rolled up his sleeves and got to work.

Lin Xiaoxi "helped" beside him.

She was only two years and two months old, so small. What help could she be? But having her around filled the place with joy.

"Ding… Host, your physique has increased by one."

"Today's physique increase has reached the limit of three points."

An hour later, the system's voice sounded in Lin Chen's mind.

A smile appeared on Lin Chen's face.

Holding Lin Xiaoxi and doing some labor, easily reaching the limit. In the future, his physique should increase by three points every day.

"Xiaoxi, all done!"

"We've made it pretty clean."

Lin Chen dragged the mop one last time, smiling.

Lin Xiaoxi happily said, "Daddy, you're awesome! I want tomorrow to come quickly so we can move to our new home."

"Xiaoxi likes it here."

Lin Chen looked around. The cleaned-up apartment looked much better. He was quite satisfied with every aspect of it.

"I need to find a way to earn money and buy this apartment. Otherwise, if the landlord sells it, Xiaoxi will probably cry when we have to move again."

Lin Chen thought to himself.

The average house price in Modu has dropped a bit, now around 57,000 yuan per square meter. Zi Yuan is a high-end community, so it's much more expensive, averaging over 80,000 yuan per square meter. This apartment costs 13 million yuan in total.

"Xiaoxi, let's go!"

"Daddy will make you something delicious when we get home."

Lin Chen carried Lin Xiaoxi home.

Someone was selling books at a roadside stall, and Lin Chen bought a few storybooks.

"Daddy, can you read me a story first?"

Back home, Lin Xiaoxi held the storybook, looking expectant.

"Sure."

"But Daddy needs to cook the rice first."

Lin Chen said with a smile.

After starting the rice, Lin Chen took Lin Xiaoxi to the balcony. His apartment had a balcony, but it was small.

"Xiaoxi, this story is called The Ugly Duckling—"

Lin Chen held Lin Xiaoxi and slowly began to tell the story.

Five minutes passed.

The system's voice sounded in Lin Chen's mind: "Host, your fairy tale reading comprehension and fairy tale creation ability are increasing."

"Both are less difficult to improve than physique. Accumulating ten hours of storytelling will allow you to reach a very high level."

Lin Chen said in his mind, "System, it's hard for me to judge with you saying it like that."

"One to five levels: Level 1 Ordinary, Level 2 Proficient, Level 3 Master, Level 4 Grandmaster, Level 5 Great Grandmaster. The world's highest level is Level 5 Great Grandmaster. What level can I reach?"

System: "In ten hours, you can reach the Grandmaster level. In twenty hours, you can reach the Great Grandmaster level. Host, there needs to be an even higher level above that."

Lin Chen said, "Then… Level 6 Legend, Level 7 Myth."

"Okay, Host."

"All skills will be divided according to the levels you mentioned."

The system said very considerately.

Lin Xiaoxi looked up at Lin Chen and said cutely, "Daddy, why did you stop? Are you tired?"

Lin Chen smiled gently, "Daddy was thinking about something else—"

Lin Chen continued telling the story.

A lot of story knowledge kept flooding into his mind.

The system was helping him increase his story reading comprehension, and at the same time, his story creation ability was also rapidly increasing.

These days, parents are willing to spend a lot of money on their children. If he could publish a good storybook, he wouldn't earn little.

But if he wants to earn money, he must first improve his own abilities.

After spending half an hour with Lin Xiaoxi, Lin Chen smiled gently, "Xiaoxi, can you read by yourself for a while? Daddy needs to cook, there's meat you like to eat."

"Okay."

It took Lin Chen half an hour to cook the dishes.

"Daddy, it's so yummy!"

"Even more delicious than lunch."

Lin Xiaoxi tasted it happily.

Lin Chen gave Lin Xiaoxi some greens, "Xiaoxi, then eat some green vegetables. We can't be picky eaters."

"Daddy, then I'll eat a little bit."

"Just a little bit."

Lin Xiaoxi really only ate a tiny bit.

A smile appeared on Lin Chen's face.

Compared to lunch, there's progress. She didn't eat any greens at lunch.

After dinner, Lin Chen gave Lin Xiaoxi a bath and changed her into pajamas.

Then he quickly took a shower himself.

"Xiaoxi, what's wrong?"

Coming out of the bathroom, Lin Chen found Lin Xiaoxi crying.

"Daddy, I miss Mommy."

Two tears hung on Lin Xiaoxi's small face.

"Xiaoxi, Mommy will come to see you in a few days. Mommy is working now. Let's not disturb Mommy's work, okay?"

"Daddy will continue to tell you stories!"

Lin Chen hugged Lin Xiaoxi tightly.

Xu Mengyao didn't add his WeChat, so they couldn't video call. Xu Mengyao didn't even add his WeChat when Lin Xiaoxi was with him, which shows that Xu Mengyao was still quite resistant to him in her heart.

Lin Chen didn't bring it up proactively, lest he be met with rejection.

An hour later, Lin Xiaoxi fell asleep listening to the story.

"Having a precious daughter, the system awakening, cooking skills, physique, and fairy tale story ability improving, it's a perfect day."

A smile appeared on Lin Chen's face.

"System, if I go practice other things now, can other abilities appear?"

Lin Chen asked in his mind.

System: "Deliberately doing so will not make them appear. Host, they will naturally appear in the process of you accompanying your child."

"Okay."

Lin Chen nodded slightly.

That's good too, no need to rack his brains thinking about how to improve.

……

"Mengyao, what are you worried about?"

"Are you worried about having so much money, you don't know how to spend it?"

Xu Mengyao's best friend, Shen Qing, asked.

Shen Qing's family is quite wealthy, with assets of 30 million, but compared to the wealth that Xu Mengyao possesses, it's not worth mentioning.

Xu Mengyao's parents laid down a great empire for her. When the group was passed on to her a year ago, its assets were 40 to 50 billion.

Among them, the Xu family held 51 percent of the shares.

Xu Mengyao's ability is not bad, and her luck is also very good. After her parents left her alone and went abroad, the group's assets reached 60 billion.

The Xu family's assets amount to as much as 30 billion.

Xu Mengyao's parents only have one child, and all of this will be hers in the future.

"I sent Xiaoxi to Lin Chen's side."

Xu Mengyao said, taking a sip of red wine.

"Ah?"

Shen Qing looked at Xu Mengyao in surprise.

She is Xu Mengyao's best friend, and she knows about the events of that year.

"Mengyao, do you want to be with Lin Chen?"

Xu Mengyao shook her head: "I don't have that thought. He and I are people from two different worlds, we are not suitable at all."

"It was Xiaoxi who said she wanted a daddy."

"She is over two years old and is starting to understand things. She is very envious when she sees other children being accompanied by their fathers. She will also be very sad when other children say she doesn't have a father."

Shen Qing: "Mengyao, haven't you thought about finding someone to marry?"

Xu Mengyao said: "It is very likely that I cannot have any more children. If I find someone to marry, the probability of the other party cheating is very high."

"And it's good that I have Xiaoxi."

Shen Qing asked: "Lin Chen is Xiaoxi's father, so what are you worried about? He is him, you are you, you share the child, there is no problem with that."

Xu Mengyao said sullenly: "I'm worried about Xiaoxi."

"Can Lin Chen take good care of her?"
