Thinking of all this, Chen Xuelin asked with a stern face.

"Chen Nan, what has your brother been busy with lately?"

"You mean Dongzi? He's been in Hong Kong lately. He hasn't told me what he's been doing, and I haven't asked. I'll let him tell you when he gets back."

"Honey, Dongzi said he'll be back this afternoon, right?"

Chen Nan glanced at Lin Zhiyuan beside him, who nodded in agreement.

"Yes, yes, that's what Dongzi said on the phone."

He also said that he would come back from Hong Kong with some friends and let Chen Nan and me settle the two elders first.

At this point, Lin Zhiyuan smiled and continued.

"Dad, Mom, whatever it is, let Dongzi tell you himself when he gets back."

"We've had a long and tiring journey. Our priority now is to find a place to eat and then get some rest."

As they were talking.

The van had come to a slow stop.

Driver Xiao Wang turned his head and said.

"Mr. Lin, we've arrived at the hotel entrance."

"Um."

Lin Zhiyuan nodded and gave the instructions.

"Xiao Wang, let's go upstairs first. After you park the car, come directly to the private room we reserved at the restaurant."

"Okay, Mr. Lin."

Lin Zhiyuan stood up from his chair, opened the car door, and said with a smile.

"Dad, Mom, let's get off the car first and get something to eat. The hotel room is ready. After we eat, we can go upstairs to rest without having to travel back and forth."

As he spoke, he waved to Chen Xi and Chen Bei.

"Xiao Xi, Xiao Bei, come to your brother-in-law's. How about I take you to eat lobster?"

"good."

"Slow down, don't fall."

Lin Zhiyuan looked at the two little ones with doting eyes, afraid that they might fall.

Chen Xi and Chen Bei seemed very happy, especially after being influenced by Chen Nan along the way.

The two of them were both curious and hopeful about their future life.

Upon hearing this...

Chen Xuelin frowned slightly.

He was a man who was used to being frugal.

Previously, the whole family depended on his salary alone.

Although the situation is better now and not as difficult as before.

Chen Dong made a fortune in a short period of time by trading treasury bonds, earning what an ordinary worker could earn in a lifetime.

But it's not a long-term solution after all.

The government isn't stupid. If it's momentarily caught off guard and these people take advantage of the situation to fleece the people, does it really want to let them fleece the people forever?

It's obviously impossible.

In addition, my daughter and son-in-law opened an electronics factory here, which requires capital.

Although Chen Xuelin had never seen an electronics factory in person, he knew that opening an electronics factory required capital.

He's not a child. Do you think an electronics factory can improve in just a few months and start making money right away?

In any case, doing business is a gradual process.

Just like his work in the geological team, from discovering minerals, to prospecting, beneficiation, introducing equipment for mining, and finally processing and selling these minerals.

These all take time to complete.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Chen Nan and Lin Zhiyuan were putting on a brave face.

He did it on purpose to show it to himself.

As children, who wouldn't want their parents to live a good life?

But did they ever think that as parents, they wouldn't want their children to have a good life?

In a flash, Chen Xuelin thought about many things, and he took a deep breath and said.

"Zhiyuan, we're all family, no need to be so polite. Let's just eat at home."

"Also, go and cancel your hotel room. We'll stay at your place for the next few days. If there's not enough room, we can sleep on the floor. It'll be more lively with the whole family together."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Before Lin Zhiyuan could respond, Chen Nan pouted and said angrily.

"Dad, what are you saying? You, Mom, Xiaoxi, and Xiaobei came all this way just to sleep on the floor?"

"Isn't this a slap in the face for Zhiyuan and me?"

"Don't even mention me, as the daughter, disagreeing. Even if Dongzi comes back, he won't agree."

Lin Zhiyuan chimed in.

“Dad, Chen Nan is right. We didn’t mean anything by it. We just wanted you to be more comfortable.”

“If you don’t want to stay in the hotel, we’ll go back after dinner. No matter how small our home is, we will never let you two sleep on the floor.”

Lin Zhiyuan and Chen Nan exchanged a glance, both completely bewildered.

It was at this moment.

Xiao Xinyi tugged at Chen Xuelin's arm, trying to smooth things over.

"Old Chen, get out of the car and go eat first. Don't embarrass the children."

Chen Xuelin nodded, but sighed inwardly.

After the group got off the bus...

Lin Zhiyuan led the way, Chen Nan walked on one side holding his two younger sisters' hands, and Chen Xuelin and Xiao Xinyi walked behind.

"Hey Lao Chen, why are you making such a face in front of the kids?"

Chen Xuelin gave a wry smile and whispered his thoughts.

After listening to Chen Xuelin's analysis, Xiao Xinyi fell silent for a moment.

Things are more serious than she thought!

She only noticed the changes in Chen Nan and Lin Zhiyuan, without considering anything more in-depth.

If, as Chen Xuelin thinks, the young couple is not living a good life and is trying to put on a show of wealth under the guise of filial piety, then they really need to be given a good talking-to.

A similar scene also happened to Chen Nan and his wife.

Chen Nan glanced at Lin Zhiyuan and asked in a low voice.

"What's wrong with Dad? Why did he suddenly say he doesn't want to stay in a hotel?"
