Chapter 162, A Family of Four! (Subscribe)
Zhang Chaofan, who had originally looked relaxed, suddenly frowned into the shape of a "川" character.
He was quite happy when Lin Moxuan asked him to play chess with Shen Qiushan. After all, this was an opportunity to show his talent.
Nothing seemed unusual at the beginning of the game, but within two or three moves, the situation changed dramatically.
"We lost this game."
"Brother Shen, let's play another round!"
Zhang Chaofan resigned himself to defeat, but he was very unwilling to accept it, thinking that he lost the game because he was careless.
“It was just a fluke.”
Shen Qiushan smiled and rearranged the chess pieces: "Teacher Zhang, it's your turn to go first in this game."
Zhang Chaofan didn't dare to be careless anymore and he was fully alert, determined to win back the game.
Otherwise, it would be a bit too embarrassing.
10 minutes later.
A look of despair appeared on Zhang Chaofan's face again.
Another dead end with no solution.
“Come again!!”
Zhang Chaofan reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Even though he lost another game, he still wasn't convinced.
The loss in this round was a bit inexplicable, as he felt he had the upper hand.
As a result, his home was stolen by Shen Qiushan accidentally.
In the third game, Zhang Chaofan took every step very carefully and thought twice before making any move.
But even so, he was still defeated.
Zhang Chaofan rubbed his forehead and sighed depressedly: “Brother Shen, you are a great chess player.”
“I’m so far away!”
As the saying goes, once, twice, but never three times!
Losing a game can be considered carelessness.
Losing two games can be said to be a sign of poor form.
Losing three games in a row is definitely a problem of strength!
"I'm just in better shape today."
Shen Qiushan replied modestly.
At this time, Lin Moxuan's face turned pale. He had been leisurely sipping tea, but he had already put the teacup aside and focused on the chess game.
Lin Moxuan naturally put himself in Zhang Chaofan's perspective, silently calculating in his mind how each move should be made. For several moves, the answers given by Zhang Chaofan far exceeded his understanding.
Lin Moxuan was still cheering silently in his heart, but even so, he was ultimately unable to descend from Shenqiu Mountain.
That is to say.
If it was him sitting opposite Shen Qiushan, he would lose even more miserably!
How come this kid’s chess skills have improved!
Lin Moxuan sighed silently in his heart.
Lin Xiamo, who originally thought this chess game was boring, couldn't help but raise her lips. She turned to look at her father and said, "Dad, you were right!"
"Well……"
The boomerang hit Director Lin right between his eyebrows, leaving him speechless.
The quality of a person reflects his character in chess!
If you are good at chess, you will most likely have a high IQ!
That's what he said.
Now it has become a statement that proves Shen Qiushan's excellence.
The dinner was very sumptuous.
However, there was no preparation.
Chen Qingzhu only cooked a few dishes in the kitchen, and most of the dishes were ordered takeout from restaurants.
The whole family sat around the dining table. The original blind date became a "family dinner" with two outsiders due to the arrival of Shen Qiushan with his two children.
After all, Wang Shulan had experience working in the Women's Federation and was eloquent. During the meal, she was still trying hard to promote Zhang Chaofan.
Unfortunately, the effect is not obvious.
Lin Xiamo never took the initiative to communicate with Zhang Chaofan throughout the whole process.
Zhang Chaofan also tactfully turned the dinner into a "fan exchange meeting" and talked to Shen Qiushan about his book.
Before today, Chen Qiushan was just an online writer in the eyes of many people.
Even though his novels sold copyrights for tens of millions, they were not recognized by the literary community.
But the situation is completely different now. Having won the Nebula Award, he has completed a gorgeous transformation from an online writer to a famous author!
After dinner.
Wang Shulan took Zhang Chaofan away from the Lin family.
"Xiao Zhang, are you interested in Momo?"
After going out, Wang Shulan asked.
"It's no use if she likes me, because she doesn't like me!"
Zhang Chaofan sighed rather depressedly.
"Momo's standards are a bit high, otherwise she wouldn't have waited until now."
"But today I finally understand why her standards are so high. It turns out she has a brother-in-law like Xiao Shen!"
"She is probably looking for a boyfriend like Xiao Shen!"
Wang Shulan analyzed.
“It’s not just as simple as just following suit.”
"I always feel that there's something weird about the relationship between the two of them."
Zhang Chaofan shook his head gently and said with emotion: "But it's normal. Most women would like a man as outstanding as Brother Chen!"
"You mean, Momo likes Xiaoshen?"
Wang Shulan was shocked. She had never thought about it in this direction. After all, the relationship between the two was special.
But Zhang Chaofan is different. As a "love rival", he is much more sensitive.
"That should be it."
"Anyway, the two of them are not in a good state."
Zhang Chaofan shrugged: "Aunt Wang, I still want to thank you for introducing such an outstanding girl like Momo to me."
"It's a pity that I'm not attractive enough."
"It's okay, Xiao Zhang. I'll introduce you to a suitable girl if there's one."
Wang Shulan replied with a smile.
I sighed silently in my heart: If it is true as Xiao Zhang said, we will have a big meal!
Lin family.
After the dinner.
Everyone returned to their rooms.
Every time Shen Yanran came to her grandmother's house, she slept with her aunt Lin Jiayu.
The two of them can be said to have been sleeping since they were young.
When they were young, they would occasionally quarrel, but when they grew up, they became good friends who could talk about anything.
After washing up.
The two people lying on the bed started a chat.
"Yanran, there are a lot of people chasing after you."
"How is it? Do you like any?"
Lin Jiayu asked with a smile.
"No!"
“Looking at those people makes me annoyed.”
Shen Yanran shook her head, then whispered, “Do you still remember the Xiao Sinian I told you about before?”
"Yeah, I remember!"
"That's the one you said was handsome, right?"
"Are you in love with him?" Lin Jiayu blinked her big eyes and asked curiously.
“I just think he’s pretty handsome.”
“And it looks cool!”
Shen Yanran opened her WeChat and clicked on the chat page with Xiao Sinian: "Look, he's so cold and aloof. He rarely replies when I talk to him."
Lin Jiayu looked at the chat history between the two, then reached out and patted Shen Yanran on the head: "Why are you so proactive?"
"You are such a dog licker!"
"Is there?"
Shen Yanran frowned: "I haven't sent many messages in total!"
“It has nothing to do with how many messages you send.”
"Can't you see that you've been taking the initiative?"
Lin Jiayu, the dog-headed military strategist, analyzed: "If you act too proactively, people will think you are too casual and easy to manipulate."
"Besides, with your looks and figure, you don't even need to take the initiative to lick others."
"Be good and listen to your aunt!"
"Let him hang out for a week first!"
Shen Yanran nodded doubtfully: "Okay, then I'll listen to you."
Lin Jiayu chuckled: "Well, that's right."
"It's right to listen to my aunt!"
In the guest room.
Lin Xiamo brought a new quilt.
The Lin family has a total of two guest rooms. In the past, when Shen Yanran and Shen Yixiao came, they could only use one room at most.
Because Shen Yanran always slept with Lin Jiayu.
But the situation was different today. Chen Qiushan stayed at the Lin family's house for the first time, so this guest room, which had hardly been occupied, was put into use.
"Teacher Zhang is a nice guy, and seems honest and decent. Are you really not going to consider it?"
While Lin Xiamo was making the bed, Shen Qiushan was laughing and teasing beside her.
"Teacher Liu is pretty good, too. She's young and pretty."
Lin Xiamo replied calmly.
"Yeah, it's true."
"And still single!"
Shen Qiushan nodded in agreement.
Hearing him say this, Lin Xiamo couldn't help but roll her eyes back, but then she heard Shen Qiushan add: "You can introduce Teacher Liu to Teacher Zhang!"
Well……
Lin Xiamo felt that she rolled her eyes too early.
Unfortunately, it cannot be withdrawn like WeChat chat.
But this old man is really bad!
It's obvious that he is making fun of himself.
"Didn't you say you wanted to go look at houses this weekend?"
"Tomorrow?"
Lin Xiamo changed the subject.
"Um!"
"Tomorrow morning."
Shen Qiushan said with a smile: "Let's take a look at Jinjiang Bay first."
"oh."
Lin Xiamo paused while making the bed.
I just had a blind date with Zhang Chaofan, and one of the material conditions she put forward was a luxury house in Jinjiang Bay.
But now Shen Qiushan said that he would go to see Jinjiang Bay tomorrow. Who would believe him if he said he didn't do it on purpose?
The next day.
Breakfast time.
There were only Lin Moxuan, Chen Qingzhu and his wife, as well as Shen Qiushan and Lin Xiamo in the restaurant.
The three children were all lying in bed and no one got up to eat breakfast.
“Today’s college students.”
"If you don't sleep at night, you won't be able to get up in the morning!"
“I can’t imagine that the country will be handed over to this generation in the future.”
Lin Moxuan sighed as he peeled an egg.
"Dad, you worry too much."
"Every generation has its own way of living."
Shen Qiushan took over the conversation: "Back then, people in society said that we, the post-80s generation, were the lost generation!"
"Now they have become the backbone of society!"
Chen Qingzhu followed suit: "Qiu Shan is right, you just worry about nothing."
"Young people have their own way of living. When they get older, it won't be like this anymore!"
"Sleep in as much as you can while you can still!"
Lin Moxuan curled his lips: "It's all your fault!"
After saying that, he looked at Lin Xiamo who was drinking porridge silently and asked, "Momo, what are your plans for today?"
"I……"
Lin Xiamo subconsciously glanced at Shen Qiushan and said truthfully: "I will accompany my brother-in-law to look at the house."
"Looking at the house?"
"What house are you looking at?"
Lin Moxuan put down the egg in his hand and became alert.
"Dad, I got a big bonus, so I plan to move to a bigger house. There are too many people in my family, and the original house is a bit crowded."
Shen Qiushan explained on the side.
"Do you need Momo to accompany you when you change houses?"
Lin Moxuan questioned with a stern face.
"I can't make up my mind myself."
"I thought Momo is knowledgeable and could give me some advice."
Shen Qiushan gave an explanation.
"Then you should look for me."
"Momo, how can you understand me as well as I do!"
Lin Moxuan said with a fierce face.
"Well……"
Shen Qiushan was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, “Dad, how dare I trouble you with such a small matter!”
"What's the trouble?"
“I take weekends off.”
"We'll go together later!"
Lin Moxuan made the decision directly, not even giving Shen Qiushan a chance to refute.
"Uh, okay!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Dad!"
What else could Shen Qiushan say? He could only nod and agree.
He secretly exchanged glances with Lin Xiamo again, and the other party also looked helpless.
then.
The team viewing the house went from two people to four people.
The fourth person is of course Chen Qingzhu.
Firstly, she was worried that something might happen to her husband while he was looking for a house, and it would be better if she was with him.
Secondly, she had nothing to do at home as she was retired, so she wanted to join in the fun.
After breakfast.
Just tidy up briefly.
The four of them set off together.
The car he drove was Shen Qiushan's Wenjie M9.
The elderly couple Lin Moxuan and Chen Qingzhu sat in the second row, while Lin Xiamo sat in the passenger seat.
People who don’t know the inside story would definitely think that this is a young couple with their parents when they see the four of them!
This is indeed the case.
Arrived at the Jinjiangwan Sales Office.
The female salesperson received the four people very warmly.
"Mr. Shen, Ms. Lin, are you planning to buy a wedding house?"
"If you live with your parents, this 246-square-meter house is very suitable."
After the greetings, the female salesperson pointed to the floor plan and said.
"Girl, don't talk nonsense."
"I don't live with them."
Lin Moxuan quickly denied it.
"Oh, sorry."
The saleswoman smiled apologetically and looked at Shen Qiushan and Lin Xiamo again: "In other words, you two don't live with your parents, right?"
"etc!"
"I said girl!"
"Can you please stop messing around with couples?"
Lin Moxuan took over the conversation again, pointed at Shen Qiushan and said, “He is the one who bought the house.”
"We are just accompanying you and giving you some advice!"
"Well……"
The saleswoman was stunned for a moment, her eyes swept over Lin Moxuan and Chen Qingzhu, and asked in confusion: "Aren't you Mr. Shen's father-in-law and mother-in-law?"
"yes!"
Lin Moxuan nodded.
"Then isn't this Miss Lin your daughter?"
The saleswoman asked again.
"yes!"
Lin Moxuan nodded again.
Both questions were answered in the affirmative, and the saleswoman was even more confused: "Uncle Lin, then I didn't match you up with anyone randomly!"
“Ms. Lin is your daughter, and Mr. Shen is your son-in-law.”
"Aren't they a couple?"
"no!!"
Lin Moxuan shook his head decisively.
"ah??"
The saleswoman opened her mouth in surprise. She felt like her CPU was overheating.
"Girl, he is our eldest son-in-law."
"This is our second daughter!"
Chen Qingzhu began to explain.
"Well……"
The saleswoman was stunned for a moment, and finally responded: "Sorry, I have a fixed mindset."
"Mr. Shen, which apartment do you want to see?"
“The 246-square-meter apartment is the best-selling one.”
“The 360-square-meter apartment is also selling very well.”
"Take a look at them all."
Shen Qiushan waved his hand arrogantly.
"OK."
"Then the four will follow me."
The female salesperson immediately took the four people to see the model room.
The first one I looked at was a 246-square-meter apartment with five bedrooms and three living rooms, a large flat with a river view.
Even someone as knowledgeable as Director Lin could not find any fault with this house.
If I have to point out a disadvantage, it’s probably that it’s expensive!
246 square meters, priced at 12.6 million.
The unit price per square meter exceeds 50,000.
Next, the female salesperson took the four people to see a 360-square-meter apartment.
Compared with the 246-square-meter apartment, the 360-square-meter apartment is superior in all aspects.
The bay window in the master bedroom offers a 270-degree view of the river, the balcony is larger, and the living room is more spacious, but the price is also more expensive, at 17.5 million.
In terms of unit price, it is cheaper than the 246-square-meter apartment, but the total price is nearly 5 million more expensive.
A house of this price would be considered a luxury home in any city in the country.
"A house is going for 20 million, this is too expensive!"
Chen Qingzhu couldn't help but express his feelings to his wife.
"This kind of house is sold to the nouveau riche!"
Lin Moxuan curled his lips. Director Lin had a bit of hatred towards the rich.
“Mr. Shen, what do you think?”
"Which one do you like better?"
On the other side, the female salesperson asked Shen Qiushan with a smile.
"Momo, which one do you think is better?"
Shen Qiushan looked at Lin Xiamo beside him.
"If the budget is not a consideration, this is the one."
In fact, Lin Xiamo likes both houses very much, but in comparison, the 360-square-meter one is definitely better.
But the price is really good.
"Well, let's go with this one!"
After receiving a positive reply, Shen Qiushan immediately waved his hand generously, and then added: "By the way, can I get a discount if I pay in full?"
