Chapter 458 Harder to Chase Than a Dog

Lin Xiangnan likes to watch other people's fun, but he would not be interested in asking others to watch him have fun.

Although she predicted Hu Meili's actions in advance and had some tricks up her sleeve, she could not stop Hu Meili's subsequent actions at all.

Early the next morning, before Lin Xiangnan left the house, Hu Meili went out to show off to the people in the family compound.

"Did you watch yesterday's news broadcast? My Xiaonan is on TV again." Hu Meili smiled brightly.

The other ladies were used to it and acted calmer than Hu Meili. "Haven't we all been there before? What's there to say?"

"This time is different!" Hu Meili held the hands of other ladies and talked in detail about the news footage she saw yesterday. When she talked about the happy parts, she even danced with joy.

Compared to Hu Meili's flamboyance, Gu Zhenhua is much more low-key.

He went out with a smile, but he didn't say a word. He was betting that his other comrades would not be able to hold back and ask him questions.

Watching the news broadcast and People's Daily is what they do every day.

The salary level in the family compound is quite high. If one family has a color TV, other families will gradually replace their black and white TVs and install color TVs. As long as there is a TV at home, you will not miss Lin Xiangnan's highlights. In other words, everyone in the family compound can basically see it.

Gu Zhenhua didn't need to say anything. He just sat happily in the office, and people came to him to gossip and ask for details.

Last night, he held Lin Xiangnan's hand and asked about all the details.

When someone asked about it, Gu Zhenhua gave a few reserved explanations.

His attitude was humble, but the pride and smugness in his eyes could not be hidden.

As soon as all the gossip information was revealed, he was beaten up by several of his brothers, who were grinning at him.

Given her family's attitude, Lin Xiangnan dared not stay at home any longer. If the atmosphere became heated, she would be the one who would suffer.

After washing and packing, Lin Xiangnan quickly picked up his bag and prepared to leave.

"Xiaonan, wait for me." When Hu Meili found that Lin Xiangnan was about to run away, she quickly stopped him.

"What are you doing?"

"I'll take your car." Hu Meili followed Lin Xiangnan's pace, got into the car with Lin Xiangnan, and said, "Don't take me to the steamed bun shop, take me to the English training school."

Since Hu Meili wanted to keep an eye on her granddaughter more, she hired two more helpers. With help, she no longer had to get up early to steam the buns. She only went to count the money at a certain time. The time she spent in the bun shop was visibly reduced.

Lin Xiangnan asked curiously: "Why are you going to the training school? Are you looking for your elder brother or elder sister-in-law?"

"Don't look for them. I'll go to the school to make the calls. It's convenient to make calls there. I have to notify your uncle and his family, your younger brother and his family, and my old colleagues at the steel plant..." Hu Meili had a long list in her mind.

She must share in this happy event where the ancestors' graves are filled with smoke.

Knowing that Hu Meili had this kind of temper, Lin Xiangnan did not stop Hu Meili from doing things. She just made up her mind to stay less at home in the next two days.

There is no need to go home. When Hu Meili's excitement wears off, she will stay at home again.

Now, Lin Xiangnan is enjoying the treatment of a supreme daughter here with Hu Meili. After getting off the car, Hu Meili gave Lin Xiangnan gentle instructions.

"Be careful on the road. Is there anything you want to eat for lunch? Mom will buy it for you."

"No, no. I've been busy with work lately, so I won't be back for lunch." Lin Xiangnan refused mercilessly.

Hu Meili kept smiling, "Okay, go ahead and get busy. Come back early in the evening."

After watching the car drive away, Hu Meili turned around and went to the training school's office to make a phone call.

"Hello~ Is this the pharmaceutical factory? I'm Hu Meili, looking for Hu Shuangxi..."

"Hello~ Is this No. 1 Middle School? I'm looking for Lin Xiangxi..."

She made one call after another, but when she reached Lin Xiangxi, things got stuck. She didn't find Lin Xiangxi at school, and she also heard that Lin Xiangxi was on unpaid leave.

She only now realized that Lin Xiangxi had already run away at the beginning of the year, but he just didn't tell her.

In the past six months, Lin Xiangxi had been fooling her every time he called!

The key point is that the Hu family also helped Lin Xiangxi to keep the secret, which made Hu Meili so angry that her ears turned red. She called back to look for her parents.

She didn't know where Lin Xiangxi's current unit was, nor did she know his unit's phone number, so she could only contact the Hu family.

But after comparing the testimonies of both parties, it was discovered that it was not the Hu family that was unkind, but that Lin Xiangxi had too many tricks.

"Xiaoxi actually bribed her younger brothers and sisters at home to tamper with the letters written by your grandparents! How could I give birth to such a wicked thing!" Hu Meili complained to Lin Xiangdong.

Lin Xiangdong quickly advised: "My little brother has grown up and has considered things so carefully. You don't have to worry about him getting hurt outside, right?"

Under normal circumstances, it was a heart-to-heart talk between mother and daughter. But Lin Xiangnan had a happy event recently, a big one that would bring honor to the family, and Hu Meili didn't want to use this to ruin Lin Xiangnan's good mood.

She could only come to her most caring eldest son and scold her most unreliable youngest son.

"Your grandparents are too honest, that's why they were fooled by your little brother... As a result, I haven't heard anything about them in the past six months!"

The Hu family is a working class family. The pharmaceutical factory is still struggling and often delays paying wages. Unless there is something urgent, the Hu family will not call, but communicate by letter. Hu Meili is now a self-employed business owner. She has money, but still lives frugally. If it weren't for notifying relatives and friends about Lin Xiangnan, she would not be willing to pay the phone bill.

Thanks to the inconvenience in communication, Lin Xiangxi has been able to keep the secret hidden until now.

He himself had not thought that he could keep it a secret for half a year. On the way back to Beijing from the Special Zone, he was still a little bit cocky, ready to meet Hu Meili and reveal the mystery in person.

Lin Xiangnan has always been Lin Xiangxi's target. This time when he came back, he also bought an imported Santana.

In order to show off, he personally drove from the Special Administrative Region to the capital with two people.

At that time, there will be no need for further explanation, just showing his car will achieve the goal.

Lin Xiangxi came back from school on purpose during the summer vacation, and started showing off as soon as he got home.

"I bought the Santana worth one hundred thousand! There's no need to tell you my current strength!" Lin Xiangxi spread his feathers like a peacock.

"No need to say? No need to say! You have been a mute for half a year, what else can you say?" Hu Meili punched Lin Xiangxi on the back.

Lin Xiangxi was a little overwhelmed, protecting his head and jumping around, "Mom, what are you doing? If you have something to say, just talk to me nicely."

As the two of them chased each other, Lin Xiangnan stood by and watched the fun. He was in the mood to gossip, "What's going on? Has the price of Santana increased this year? It's more expensive than the one I bought."

"Yes, it has increased. There are more wealthy people in the Special Administrative Region this year." Lin Xiangxi took the time to explain.

With more rich people, more people will buy cars. When the supply is insufficient to meet the demand, the price will naturally rise. At this stage in the mainland, a four-wheeled car is enough to show off. There is no need for luxury cars like Rolls-Royce. Even if you drive one, no one will recognize its value.

While running, Lin Xiangxi said to Lin Xiangnan: "There are many opportunities to make money in the Special Zone. I set up a small factory there and made quite a lot of money. I bought this car to decorate the storefront. A good car will make it easier to negotiate business... Sister, I brought a lot of things in the car for you, you can look for them yourself..."

He is busy dealing with Hu Meili now and cannot spare time.

Lin Xiangnan smiled as he looked at the things in the car and lectured, "You are too unreasonable. You didn't even tell your family that you were taking a leave of absence. Mom was so worried. She didn't sleep well for several days because she was afraid that something might happen to you outside..."

These words touched Hu Meili's heart, and she couldn't help but slap Lin Xiangxi hard a few times.

The youngest son has been dishonest since he was young. Hu Meili is really afraid that he will get himself into trouble. Money is not as important as life. Lin Xiangxi only wants to get rich, but Hu Meili only wants his safety.

After helping Lin Xiangxi, Lin Xiangnan said to Hu Meili, "Mom, you too, I'm old enough to make my own decisions, but you're too strict. If it weren't for your attitude, I wouldn't have deliberately hidden my involvement from you."

After slapping each other, Lin Xiangnan felt that he had handled the fight very well. If both of them could recognize their mistakes, this matter could end perfectly.

However, Lin Xiangnan knew clearly that these two were stubborn and would not admit their mistakes.

Seeing the Jianlibao drinks in his younger brother's car, Lin Xiangnan took a bottle, leaned against the car, and drank water while watching the show.

It takes a lot of effort to mediate a fight, so she moistened her throat in advance.

But before she had even taken a few sips, Hu Meili was so tired that she gave up. At her age, she really couldn't catch up with Lin Xiangxi, a strong young man.

Hu Meili panted as she walked to Lin Xiangnan's side, snatched the Jianlibao from her hand, and cursed, "You just stood there without moving, without exerting any strength, and you even drank a sports drink!"

The one who should really drink this water to replenish energy is yourself! Hu Meili took the Jianlibao and drank several gulps. Lin Xiangxi was harder to chase than a dog, and she was exhausted just now.
