#97 - Chapter 97 Mom, You Are the Happiest
“Brother Kun, that kid is ruthless! Should we get more guys to deal with him later?”
The pickpocket who was discovered by Lin Chen said.
He was one of the two who had been struck by a palm, and the spot where he was hit was now burning with pain.
Brother Kun was the other person who was struck. He touched his injury and said, “He can hit us like this with one palm. How many people are you planning to find, and how much will you pay each of them?”
“How much will you pay for medical expenses if they get injured? Even if we win, can we beat him if we're alone in the future?”
“Don't be stupid! Do you think we can afford to offend someone like him?”
The man who exchanged blows with Lin Chen said, shaking his hand, “He held back. If he had used his fist, Brother Kun, your bones might have been broken.”
Brother Kun nodded.
“We'll steer clear of him in the future.”
…
Back in the residential area, Xu Mengyao breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Chen was very powerful, but she didn't want Lin Chen to fight. If he lost, he would end up in the hospital, and if he won, he might end up in jail.
“Mengyao, were you scared?”
“The people here are more aggressive, and the security in this small place isn't as good as in Shanghai.”
“But today was a special case. The security in recent years has been much better than before.”
Lin Chen comforted her.
Xu Mengyao: “I'm okay… You went to high school here, right?”
“Yeah.”
“The security was worse then than it is now. But it's still much better than it was ten years ago. There used to be a lot of hooligans, but now there are only a few scattered ones.”
“It's rare to encounter something like this today, so don't worry too much,”
Lin Chen said.
Xu Mengyao: “Lin Chen, now that we're here, and we have some free time, let me investigate the environment here. Maybe I can invest in something here.”
Lin Chen looked at Xu Mengyao and said with a smile, “Mengyao, are you afraid that your parents-in-law will be bullied, and you want to develop some connections here?”
“No… that's not it.”
“Don't talk nonsense.”
Xu Mengyao's face turned slightly red, “I'm just investigating. If it's suitable, I'll invest. If not, I won't.”
Lin Chen: “Then be careful, wife. Don't let people accuse you of abusing your power.”
Xu Mengyao: “The Xu family controls 51% of the company's shares. I still have the authority to make this kind of decision.”
“Okay.”
Lin Chen nodded.
He didn't understand business matters, and besides, the Xu family's money was the Xu family's money, so he wouldn't interfere too much.
“Dad, Mom.”
As soon as they got home, Lin Xiaoxi ran over happily.
Xu Mengyao's heart was in her throat.
Had Lin Xiaoxi said anything to Chen Mei and the others?
“Mengyao, Xiaoxi is so good at painting now! The last time we went, her paintings weren't this good,”
Chen Mei exclaimed.
Xu Mengyao: “Her painting talent must have been inherited from Lin Chen, and Lin Chen is also a good teacher.”
“Mengyao, come and see, this is what Xiaoxi just drew.”
Xu Mengyao walked over.
When she saw the painting, Xu Mengyao was also stunned.
Could a child who's just over two years old really draw this?
She had been busy for the past few days and hadn't gone to Lin Chen's place. Lin Chen's painting skills had reached the legendary level, and Lin Xiaoxi had also been carried along. Her painting talent was already at the world's top level.
“Lin Chen, what's going on?”
Xu Mengyao looked at Lin Chen in disbelief.
“Mengyao, is there a problem?”
Lin Hai asked.
Xu Mengyao: “Xiaoxi's paintings were good before, but this one is much better than what I saw her draw before.”
Lin Chen smiled and said, “Xiaoxi has a good understanding. Maybe her brain has opened up. You don't understand the world of geniuses.”
Xiaoxi's painting talent used to be in the sixties, but now it's in the nineties. It's not even on the same level anymore.
Xu Mengyao looked at the painting carefully.
She exclaimed, “Lin Chen, with Xiaoxi's talent, if she develops well, could she become the world's top painter in the future?”
Lin Chen shook his head.
Xu Mengyao was very disappointed, “She can't?”
Lin Chen: “The very top is impossible. As long as her dad is alive for one day, she'll only be the second best in the world.”
Xu Mengyao: “……”
“Hehe, Dad is the most awesome.”
Lin Xiaoxi said sweetly, “Mom is the happiest.”
Xu Mengyao squatted down and asked.
“Xiaoxi, why is Mom the happiest?”
Lin Xiaoxi: “Mom, you have me and Dad.”
Chen Mei and Lin Hai smiled knowingly.
Xu Mengyao's face turned slightly red.
It wasn't just the three of them here now.
“You and Dad are described as smart, and I'm described as happy. For a moment, I don't know whether to be happy or not,”
Xu Mengyao scratched Lin Xiaoxi's little nose.
“Mengyao, that's called a lucky fool,”
Lin Chen said with a smile from the side.
Xu Mengyao rolled her beautiful eyes at Lin Chen, “Lin Chen, why aren't you cooking? It's okay if we're hungry, but Uncle Lin is injured, and he needs to replenish his body.”
An hour later, Lin Chen had prepared the meal.
“Hmm?”
When they tasted the dishes, Lin Hai and Chen Mei were stunned.
The last time they went to Lin Chen's place, the dishes Lin Chen made were very delicious, but this time they were much, much more delicious than last time.
They quickly tasted the other dishes.
The taste of each dish was much stronger than before.
“Son, what's going on?”
“Why are the dishes you make so much more delicious than before?”
Chen Mei said in disbelief.
Lin Chen looked at Lin Xiaoxi, “Because of Xiaoxi.”
Because of Lin Xiaoxi, he was able to awaken the system and constantly gain experience.
But Chen Mei and the others didn't hear it that way. In their opinion, Lin Chen was doing it to make Xiaoxi eat better.
“The dishes Daddy makes are the most delicious.”
“Daddy, I want to kiss you.”
Lin Xiaoxi said cutely.
“Xiaoxi, your little mouth is covered in grease. Wipe your mouth clean after you finish eating, and then kiss Daddy later,”
Xu Mengyao said.
Lin Xiaoxi looked at Xu Mengyao, “Mommy, you haven't eaten yet, can you kiss Daddy for me?”
Xu Mengyao: “……”
She muttered to herself, why was she so talkative?
“Mommy is already eating.”
Xu Mengyao quickly picked up a dish and took a bite.
Lin Xiaoxi blinked her eyes, “Mommy, then after you finish eating, can you help me kiss Daddy again?”
Xu Mengyao: “You can kiss him yourself after you finish eating.”
After eating, Xu Mengyao quickly slipped away.
Chen Mei: “Son, does the Xu family also have business here?”
She helped Lin Chen clean up in the kitchen.
Lin Chen shook his head.
“We ran into three hooligans when we were buying groceries. Mengyao is probably afraid that something will happen to you in the future and we won't be able to help in time, so she wants to invest and develop some connections here.”
“But whether it will work out depends on whether there are suitable projects.”
Chen Mei's face changed, “Are you okay?”
“We're fine.”
Lin Chen shook his head, “I taught myself martial arts. Not to mention three or five, even ten or eight hooligans are no match for me.”
Chen Mei's eyes revealed a look of surprise.
Her own son actually knew martial arts.
“Son, if Mengyao wants to invest here, can you stay for a few more days?”
Chen Mei asked.
Lin Chen: “Xiaoxi and I can stay for a week. It also takes about a week to transfer the house. It's hard to say about Mengyao. Something might happen at her company at any time.”
“Even if she invests in our county, compared to her company's big business, this is just small-scale stuff.”
