Xu Mengyao asked, "Dad, who did you have investigate him?"
Xu Guofeng replied, "Xiao He, my former bodyguard, did the investigation. Lin Chen's family background is ordinary, his academics are average, and while he's not bad-looking, his clothes are very plain."
"Xiao He went to his village, to the high school he attended, and even spoke with his former homeroom teacher."
"There shouldn't be any omissions."
"Why are you suddenly asking about this?"
Xu Guofeng's heart clenched.
Could my daughter have fallen for Lin Chen?
"Dad, he doesn't seem so ordinary. He's an excellent cook, and he knows several foreign languages."
"Lin Chen?" Xu Mengyao said.
Xu Guofeng said in surprise, "He knows several foreign languages? I have his Gaokao results. His English wasn't that great."
"He barely passed Level Four."
Xu Mengyao said, "His English is better than mine. Also, his Russian, German, and French are also very good."
Xu Guofeng was incredulous.
Even if he wasn't good at other things, having such a strong language talent was very impressive.
Why did he act so ordinary before?
It would be one thing at other times, but he was hiding it even during the Gaokao?
"Mengyao, are you sure?"
"Of course. I've spoken with him in English, and in front of me, he spoke Russian with someone else."
Xu Guofeng asked, "Are you saying you like him because of this?"
"Dad, of course not."
"Dad, I'm busy right now, I'll talk to you later."
Xu Mengyao hung up the phone.
Xu Guofeng was puzzled. Could someone really change so much?
He went to the ward.
"Honey, what's up with our daughter?"
Xu Mengyao's mother, Yang Qingyue, asked as she woke up.
Xu Guofeng sat on the edge of the bed. "Wife, Mengyao called and said that Lin Chen doesn't seem so ordinary."
"Mengyao said he knows several foreign languages."
"And she said his cooking is also very good."
Yang Qingyue was surprised. "Did our daughter really say that?"
"Yes."
Xu Guofeng nodded.
"Then she should have developed some feelings for Lin Chen. She's probably quite curious about him already," Yang Qingyue said.
Xu Guofeng frowned. Yang Qingyue continued, "Honey, don't call and say anything to her. Just let our daughter make her own choice. Isn't she smarter than you?"
Xu Guofeng: "…"
"Even if he knows a few foreign languages, he's not good enough for Mengyao."
Yang Qingyue said with a touch of annoyance, "There's no such thing as 'good enough' in matters of the heart. It's about whether they have a connection."
"After that incident, our daughter has some psychological trauma. She's frozen herself off. If Lin Chen can help her come out of it, it might not be a bad thing."
Xu Guofeng looked at Yang Qingyue in surprise.
"Honey, you didn't used to think like that. Didn't you used to hope Mengyao could find someone from a similar background?"
"Ideally, someone with even better prospects."
Yang Qingyue said, "I went through surgery, flirted with death. A lot of things don't seem so important anymore."
"As long as our daughter is happy, we shouldn't worry so much."
Xu Guofeng frowned, "But—"
Yang Qingyue said, "Stop 'but-ing,' help Ben Gong up."
Xu Guofeng quickly helped Yang Qingyue up.
"Honey, even if Lin Chen is just average. As long as our daughter likes him, our money is enough for them to spend for ten lifetimes."
Xu Guofeng sighed softly, "Wife, you don't understand."
Yang Qingyue rolled her eyes, "How could I not understand?"
Xu Guofeng frowned, "If we only had thirty to fifty million, it wouldn't be a problem. We could live comfortably without attracting trouble."
"But now, we have thirty billion."
"To the real sharks, we're a piece of juicy meat."
Yang Qingyue looked puzzled, "We haven't really run into any major problems, have we?"
Xu Guofeng said, "That's because I had a good Father-in-law. But your father has been gone for two years. The connections and favors he left behind, we've pretty much used them up."
"Our future path will definitely be much rougher."
Yang Qingyue asked, "Don't we still have connections and favors?"
Xu Guofeng shook his head, "It's not the same. Although we have money, we're no longer part of that circle."
"Someone will definitely target us in two or three years at most."
Yang Qingyue said, "We can't sacrifice our daughter's happiness, though."
Xu Guofeng replied, "I was hoping Mengyao could find someone she loves, who also comes from a similar background. That way, it'd be the best of both worlds."
Xu Guofeng sighed at this point.
If it weren't for what happened back then...
Xu Mengyao being unmarried and already having a child would inevitably make some powerful Second and Third Generations back off.
"Honey, don't overthink it."
"Even if we lose most of our wealth, three to five hundred million is still enough for our family to live comfortably," Yang Qingyue comforted.
Xu Guofeng nodded slightly.
"Don't worry about it for now. Just focus on getting better. You should be fine for the next year or two."
"Got it."
A faint smile appeared on Lin Chen's face.
He checked it carefully, making sure there were no problems.
"Xu Mengyao, the translation is done."
Lin Chen sent the translated file to Xu Mengyao.
Xu Mengyao looked at the time.
She was surprised.
Lin Chen had only spent twenty-seven minutes in total.
"Thank you."
"Including last time, can I give you twenty thousand for the translation fees?"
Xu Mengyao replied.
Lin Chen: "..."
"We have a child, and we're married. Aren't we friends? Friends don't need to pay for this kind of help."
"If you give me money, don't ask me for help again. I don't want to make this money. I have to take care of the child, I don't have time for this."
My dear, there's more to this chapter, please click the next page to continue reading, it's even more exciting!
Lin Chen quickly replied.
Xu Mengyao was silent for a moment before replying, "Thank you."
Five minutes passed, and Xu Mengyao's assistant said, "President, the company's German translator said the documents are fine. He said the other party's level is much higher than his."
"Okay."
Xu Mengyao nodded slightly.
She was amazed.
They were a large company, and the translation skills within the company were quite good. Yet, they were so much worse than Lin Chen.
"English, Russian, and German are all so strong. Lin Chen's French is probably not much worse than these three."
Xu Mengyao thought to herself.
On Lin Chen's side.
"Dad, there are so many boxes!"
Lin Chen took Lin Xiaoxi to the storefront he rented.
Two thousand books had already been delivered.
One hundred books per box, and there were a total of twenty large cardboard boxes on the floor.
Lin Chen smiled, "Xiaoxi, do you want to play for a bit, or take a nap?"
Lin Chen had set up a small bed inside the storefront. Lin Xiaoxi could stay here while he worked late into the night.
"I don't want to take a nap yet, I want to draw."
Lin Xiaoxi said in a childish voice.
Lin Chen smiled, "Alright, then you can draw for a while."
Half an hour later, Lin Xiaoxi was sleepy.
Lin Chen carried her to the bed, and she quickly fell into a sweet sleep.
"Shua shua!"
Lin Chen quickly signed the new books, one by one.
His signature seemed similar to before, but upon closer inspection, it appeared to possess a different charm.
Ordinary people couldn't quite put their finger on this charm.
They just felt it was more pleasing to the eye and more captivating.
However, if a skilled calligrapher were to look at it, they would realize that his calligraphy was no longer at the same level as before.
Lin Chen's calligraphy was originally at the Master level, and now it's a Grandmaster.
This is already at the world's top level!
