#77 - Chapter 77 A good way to avoid drinking!

“Yay… Daddy’s leaving!”

Lin Xiaoqian said happily from the back seat.

Xu Mengyao turned her head to look at Lin Xiaoqian. She guessed that Lin Xiaoqian sensed that something was not quite right between her and Lin Chen.

Children usually want their mothers to sit in the back with them, but Lin Xiaoqian actually wanted her and Lin Chen to sit in the front.

Lin Chen: "Wife, it’s Aunt Liang’s birthday. Will there be many guests today? Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

Xu Mengyao said, "There shouldn't be many guests. Banquets aren't allowed to be extravagant now. Uncle Zhao shouldn't make that mistake."

"The guests who come will either be relatives or important figures. It’s best not to take photos at the banquet. Even if you do, don’t include other people in the photos."

Lin Chen nodded.

Xu Mengyao thought for a moment and continued, "Don't be too high-profile, but don't be too low-profile either. There will definitely be alcohol at the banquet. If you can't drink, it's better not to drink at all."

"If you can drink, don't lie and say you can't, otherwise it will be very awkward when people find out you can drink later."

Lin Chen smiled.

His alcohol tolerance used to be just average, but now, with his improved physique, his alcohol tolerance must have increased a lot.

He should be fine with normal drinking.

"Some people will need a toast. I'll be with you."

Xu Mengyao added.

"Okay."

Lin Chen nodded.

Lin Xiaoqian: "Daddy, don't get drunk. If you get drunk, you'll feel very, very uncomfortable."

Xu Mengyao: "Qianqian, are you only concerned about Daddy and not Mommy? Mommy will be sad."

Lin Xiaoqian asked in confusion, "Mommy, I've said it before, have you forgotten? You shouldn't get drunk either. You used to get drunk, and it was very, very uncomfortable."

Lin Chen glanced at Xu Mengyao.

"You got drunk before?"

Xu Mengyao shook her head: "I didn't get too drunk, and Liang Ye will accompany me when I go out for social events now. But sometimes it's unavoidable to drink some alcohol."

"Even if you're not too drunk, it's still uncomfortable."

The Xu family's assets are not low, but there are still many families in the country with assets exceeding the Xu family's, and there are also so many powerful people.

Top大佬s can drink if they want to, and not drink if they don't want to. It's clear that the Xu family hasn't reached that level yet.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "If you want to stop drinking in the future, I'll tell you a very good method. You can tell others, and you definitely won't offend them."

"What method?"

Xu Mengyao asked with a bright look.

She doesn't like alcohol, and she definitely won't drink if she can avoid it.

Lin Chen said, "Just say you're preparing for pregnancy and taking care of your body, so you can have a second child later."

Xu Mengyao: "…"

She was speechless.

What was she expecting? What good method could Lin Chen come up with?

Lin Chen said with a smile, "This method is good, right? If you use this method, no one will persuade you to drink anymore."

"I thank you."

Xu Mengyao said unhappily.

Lin Xiaoqian: "Mommy, what's a second child? Is it a younger brother or sister? I want a younger brother or sister."

"Qiqi has a younger brother."

Xu Mengyao said, "Qianqian, don't listen to your dad's nonsense. We are very, very satisfied with just you. Our Qianqian is the best, one is worth several others."

"Mommy, but I want a younger brother or sister. If I have a younger sister, I'll share my dolls with her and take her to draw."

"If it's a younger brother, I'll play ball with him."

Lin Xiaoqian said with a look of anticipation.

Lin Chen glanced at Xu Mengyao, and Xu Mengyao's face turned slightly red.

The doctor said that her chances of getting pregnant again were very low, but low chances don't mean she can't get pregnant again.

"Qianqian, we'll talk about this later."

"Mommy is still very busy now."

Lin Chen said with a smile.

Lin Xiaoqian said with a giggle, "Mommy and Daddy, when Mommy is not busy, you'll give me a younger brother or sister."

Xu Mengyao was speechless. It's not like you can have one just because you want one.

"Lin Chen, turn left ahead."

"Qianqian, don't talk, don't affect Daddy's driving."

Xu Mengyao said.

She didn't want to continue this topic.

Half an hour later, Lin Chen drove into an old residential area.

This area has a very good location. It used to be a luxury residential area, but the buildings in this area are over twenty years old, and many things are a bit outdated.

"Lin Chen, Elder Pei wants to see you."

"Elder Pei has been in the mounting industry his whole life. He is a master in this field. You may have to deal with him in the future. Do you want to go up and meet Elder Pei?"

Xu Mengyao said.

Lin Chen nodded: "Okay."

Lin Chen carried Lin Xiaoqian, Xu Mengyao took a bag of gifts, and the three of them took the elevator upstairs.

"Ding-dong—"

Xu Mengyao rang the doorbell, and the door opened quickly. It was Pei Gongyi who opened the door. He was already in his seventies.

"Elder Pei."

"Hello, Elder Pei."

Xu Mengyao and Lin Chen said.

"Grandpa Pei, my name is Qianqian."

Lin Xiaoqian also said in a childish voice.

Pei Gongyi hurriedly said enthusiastically, "President Xu, Master Lin, Qianqian, please come in quickly. I was just wondering when you would arrive, and you're here."

Lin Chen quickly said, "Elder Pei, please don't call me Master Lin. Just call me Little Lin. I'm not a master."

Pei Gongyi smiled and said, "In the painting industry, if your level doesn't qualify as a master, who else can be called a master?"

"I may be old, but I'm not senile yet. If I call you Little Lin, others will say I'm taking advantage of my age."

"You deserve to be called a master."

Lin Chen looked helplessly at Xu Mengyao.

Pei Gongyi said, "President Xu, don't persuade me. I respect his level, and it has nothing to do with his age."

"Please sit down for a moment. I'll go to the study to get the painting."

Soon, Pei Gongyi brought out the painting.

He took the painting out of the tube and slowly unfolded it: "President Xu, Master Lin, using ordinary materials, I can only do this. It's a bit of a disservice to this painting."

Lin Chen looked at the painting he had drawn.

Mounted, it looked even better.

Although the materials Pei Gongyi used were ordinary, his craftsmanship was excellent, and the ordinary materials were mounted very well.

"Daddy, it's so pretty."

"Daddy, when will you teach me to draw flowers?"

"I also want to draw those little birds."

Lin Xiaoqian stared at the painting and asked.

Pei Gongyi said in surprise, "Qianqian is only two years old, right? Did she start learning to paint at such a young age?"

"Yes, Grandpa Pei."

"I love painting."

Lin Xiaoqian said seriously.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Qianqian has a good talent. Elder Pei, Qianqian and I may have to trouble you a lot in the future."

Pei Gongyi smiled and said, "That's because you think highly of this old man. You're taking care of my business."

"President Xu, if it's okay, I'll put it away."

Xu Mengyao nodded: "Of course."

Pei Gongyi put the painting back into the tube.

"Elder Pei, we need to go to the banquet. We'll visit again another day."

Xu Mengyao said.

Lin Chen: "Mengyao, you guys go wait for me outside. I'll say a few words to Elder Pei. It'll only take two or three minutes."

Xu Mengyao was a little puzzled.

But she still took Lin Xiaoqian and went outside.

"Elder Pei, I know a little about traditional Chinese medicine. Let me take your pulse."

Lin Chen said.

Pei Gongyi asked in confusion, "Master Lin, am I sick?"

"Elder Pei, let me take your pulse to be sure."

"Maybe my level is not good enough, and I misjudged."

Pei Gongyi nodded. He sat down and extended his hand.

Lin Chen placed his finger on Pei Gongyi's pulse.

Half a minute passed, and Lin Chen withdrew his hand: "Elder Pei, if you have time, go to the hospital for a physical examination, and focus on checking your heart."
