Chapter 70
Xia Lin didn't know either.
"I'll call An An and ask. She doesn't dare to call us. She definitely doesn't want us to worry." Xia Lin said worriedly.
Zhong Yanyan glanced at the time and said, "Call me later. An An is taking a nap."
"If you have anything to say, let's wait until An An wakes up." Zhong Yanyan took the phone.
"Call Lin Cai and ask him. He should know. I'll tell him why he called me and asked me what kind of partner An An wanted. Love is waiting here, so I can excuse An An."
"Did Lin Cai ask you?"
"Well, he just called me. I thought he wanted to introduce someone to An An because of her breakup." Zhong Yanyan nodded.
"It's probably a betrayal." Xia Lin chuckled after hearing that.
The corner of Zhong Yanyan's mouth twitched. "My daughter is now pregnant, has a child and has obtained a marriage certificate. Can we still ask her to divorce? Let's first see what kind of person our son-in-law is."
"If he has good character and a good family background, and we and our sons are watching over him, we will never let him bully An An." Zhong Yanyan persuaded.
"You have seen the person too. He is the friend that Lin Cai brought back before. You even praised Leng Zexi." Xia Lin looked at his wife, speechless.
When Zhong Yanyan heard it was Leng Zexi, she didn't know what to say for a moment, "That kid is good."
"You are going to rebel too." Xia Lin walked out and sat in the yard sighing.
"You are angry about that." Zhong Yanyan followed out.
Xia Lin turned his back and said, "Shouldn't I be angry? The daughter I raised with so much difficulty has become someone else's."
"It's not a matter of sooner or later. We have to face it eventually." Zhong Yanyan hoped that he could be more open-minded. "We have also met Zexi. He is a really good person. I would feel relieved if I marry him."
"Being able to raise such an outstanding son shows that the family is not unreasonable. He is definitely better than Zhou Mufan. When we went to meet Zhou Mufan, he didn't even want to see us."
"But Zexi, the kid, just came back with Lin Cai as a guest, and he brought a lot of gifts. You guys can rest or play, but he is the only one who knows to help in the kitchen."
"For this reason alone, I am very satisfied with this son-in-law."
Xia Lin looked up at her, also with an unconvinced look on his face, "Does that mean we don't want to go in? Look at the sign hanging on your kitchen door. Whoever doesn't let us in, I'll go in twice more, and you even added in front of it that the dog and I can't enter the kitchen."
"How dare you say that? You went into the kitchen to help? You were just causing trouble. You almost blew up the kitchen three times. One time, you even brought An An into the kitchen with you. You know, I heard you and An An in the kitchen making food for her when I was on the phone. I didn't even pay, and I ran away wearing clothes from someone else's store."
"The store owner chased me home. Everyone thought I was trying to run away with the bill. I was so embarrassed." Zhong Yanyan feels embarrassed when she thinks about it now.
Xia Lin felt a little embarrassed after hearing this. It was indeed his fault.
"Really, the kitchen in our house can't stand your tinkering. It was originally connected to the house, but now we have to build a separate kitchen in the yard. I'm worried that there won't even be a place to live at the back." Zhong Yanyan said helplessly.
"Okay, is it okay for me not to go into the kitchen?" Xia Lin felt scared when he thought about what she said.
He didn't know what was going on. Whenever he went into the kitchen, he would either destroy it or the food he cooked would be problematic. He had been to the hospital several times. It was probably because the four kids in the family had a hard life before, so for them, a few days of hanging medicine would be enough, otherwise they wouldn't dare to bother.
"Really? If everyone didn't know what kind of person you are, you would have been jailed four times. No, five times. Consider the time you saw my parents cooking, and the time my four sons came back to claim you."
"It's all food poisoning. If I didn't know you really didn't mean it, I would really charge you with murder. Others cook to fill their stomachs, but you just sent them directly to the hospital."
Zhong Yanyan also didn't expect that it would be so difficult for someone to cook a dish. It was food incompatibility. He had done it before. He had gotten poisoned by not cooking the food properly. He went to buy some mushrooms and happened to buy poisonous ones. Fortunately, his neighbor discovered it early and called an ambulance.
"Those were all accidents." Xia Lin didn't expect that he was actually a kitchen killer.
Zhong Yanyan looked at him with a half-smile, "That's normal. After all, you are a young master. It's normal that you can't even tell the difference between salt and sugar."
Xia Lin felt guilty when he heard her say that.
"You are still blaming me for hiding things from you. I really didn't mean it. I just didn't want to recognize him, so I told you that I have no father or mother. It is a fact that my mother is gone, and as for my father, he is as good as dead to me. I no longer recognize him after he helped outsiders kill my mother." Xia Lin confessed.
"Okay, then I told you that I don't hate Zexi and I plan to let him be with An'an. What do you say?"
"And the people who just called were Zexi's parents. Do you know them?" Zhong Yanyan looked at him and asked.
"Yes, I know him. He's an old friend." Xia Lin didn't dare to hide it anymore.
"My friend means he has a good family background." After all, he is the eldest son of the Xia family.
Xia Lin nodded, "Yes, it's the richest man Leng Jingshen, and Leng Zexi is his only son."
Zhong Yanyan hesitated when she heard this. She originally thought it was just good, but she didn't expect it to be so good. "It's a bit out of my reach."
"I originally thought it was just good. The property you wanted to return should be enough for An An as a dowry. Could this richest man's family be very treacherous?" Zhong Yanyan asked worriedly.
"No, the relationships in his family are quite simple. It's a single-line family. The family tradition is very strict. Either you look down on someone, or once you look at someone, they're very focused and have a strong sense of responsibility." Xia Lin was not unfamiliar with the Leng family.
"Leng Zexi's grandparents are very kind people, and his parents are also my friends. If An An marries into his family, she won't have to worry about being bullied. But there is one thing: there will be uncertainties in the future. If Leng Zexi really wants to treat An An badly, there's really nothing we can do about it."
"At most, both sides will suffer losses. Leng Zexi's grandfather is the kind of person who is good at both good and bad things."
"It can be said that I have wealth and glory, but An An's happiness cannot be guaranteed, because I don't know if Leng Zexi can really love An An for the rest of his life."
"If there were four boys from lesser families looking after me, I wouldn't be worried at all." Xia Lin expressed his concerns.
