"Then you can sleep a little longer, I'm getting up now."
When Lin's parents opened the door, they saw Lin Chen walk out alone. Their hearts sank. Was it that intense last night? This brat doesn't even know how to be considerate of the girl.
"Why are you two staring at me like that, Mom? I'm hungry, is there any breakfast?"
"Yes, there are dumplings in the pot. Eat more to replenish your energy."
While eating dumplings, Lin Chen opened Huasuan.com, added Wang Sicong as a friend, and found that Wang Sicong had indeed posted a review of his computer worth 300,000 yuan last night. Lin Chen didn't hesitate and used super administrator privileges to pin Wang Sicong's post to the top of the entire site.
At this moment, An Rou rubbed her dizzy head and came out of Lin Chen's room. She had gone to bed too late last night and hadn't slept for more than a few hours.
When she came out and saw Lin's parents looking at her, she suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "Mom and Dad, please listen to my explanation, no, please listen to my explanation. It's not what you think. Lin Chen and I are innocent."
Lin's mother smiled kindly and said, "I know, I know."
“We are truly innocent. I just played on the computer in his room for a while last night, and then fell asleep because it was too late.”
"Yes, I understand."
"Oh no," An Rou thought, realizing she couldn't explain herself. She looked at Lin Chen, who was still scrolling through his phone and eating dumplings, and said, "Lin Chen, why don't you explain yourself?"
Lin Chen was engrossed in scrolling through his phone and didn't hear what they were saying at all. He looked up, confused, and asked, "Explain what?"
But to Lin's parents, these words turned from a question into a rhetorical question.
Lin's father glanced at the time and decided not to dwell on the topic any longer. Things would work themselves out. So, he coughed twice and said, "Ahem, it's getting late. Lin Chen, get An Rou a bowl of dumplings. After you've finished eating, we'll go to pay respects to our ancestors together."
Lin Chen responded and got up to help An Rou pack dumplings. An Rou covered her face, thinking, "Why is this boss's hearing so unreliable? Should I suggest he see an ENT specialist?"
After breakfast, Lao Lin drove to the suburban cemetery, where he met many relatives.
"Hey, Lao Lin, your family has a new member this year? Congratulations! I hadn't heard anything about it. When did you get married?"
"No, no, you've misunderstood. This is our newly adopted goddaughter. Lin Chen is still young; she just started university." Lin's mother said this with a hint of guilt. She was calling her a goddaughter now, but who knows, she might really become her daughter-in-law in a couple of years. How was she supposed to explain that?
"Oh, I see. This girl is really pretty. You two are so lucky. But Lin Chen is already in college, so he can start looking for a girlfriend now. Look at your cousin, he didn't look for one in college, and now he can't find one after graduation."
The person who said this was one of Lin Chen's cousins, who did business in another province and he could only see her a few times a year.
"Anrou, call her aunt."
Hello, Auntie.
"Oh, you're so good. Look how suddenly this happened. Your aunt didn't prepare any red envelopes. Here, take this money. We're all family, so there's no need to be strangers."
An Rou looked at Lin Ma, unsure whether she should accept the money, as it wasn't Lin Chen's family's custom.
Seeing that the red envelope given by her aunt wasn't very big, Lin's mother smiled and said, "Take it. You can give another one back when your cousin gets married in a couple of years."
"Okay, thank you, Auntie."
"Sigh, talking about your cousin is really giving me a headache. I'm not going to talk about it anymore, let's pay our respects to our ancestors first."
After visiting a group of relatives, An Rou received seven or eight red envelopes. Lin Chen, envious, said, "An Rou, can you share half with me?"
As a result, Lin's mother slapped Lin Chen on the head: "You brat, you dare to covet your sister's red envelope."
After paying respects to their ancestors, Lin Chen and his family bid farewell to their relatives and returned to the city.
Meanwhile, in the city, a piece of news was spreading like wildfire: Lin Chen's hometown was just a small county under Wucheng City in Zhejiang Province, called Wushang County. The place was not big, and the news spread very quickly. Soon, everyone in power and influence in the county knew that the boss of Huasuan.com had returned home for the New Year and was staying at 1701, Building 6, Riverside Mansion.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, An Rou received a bunch of red envelopes at Lin Chen's maternal grandmother's house, which almost made Lin Chen drool. However, An Rou would write down which relative gave her each red envelope and how much it cost in her phone's notes app, so she could give it back as a gift later.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, An Rou stayed at home waiting for relatives to come to Lin Chen's house to pay their respects. She got up early to help Lin's mother cook and prepare to entertain the guests.
"Ding-dong~" The doorbell rang.
"Here you are."
Lin Chen went to open the door, only to find two unfamiliar people standing inside: "Who are you looking for?"
"Mr. Lin, I've heard so much about you. I'm Wang Kai's father, Wang Long. This gentleman next to me is Zhou Sheng, the owner of the mahjong parlor you bought the other day."
"Oh, hello everyone, please come in and have a seat."
Although he didn't know what the other party wanted, it was not right to let guests stand at the door during the New Year, so Lin Chen welcomed the two in. The two casually placed the large and small bags they were carrying next to the shoe cabinet by the entrance.
Old Lin saw that they were two strangers and gave Lin Chen a strange look. In fact, Lin Chen was also completely confused.
"Please sit down, I'll make you both a cup of tea."
"Hey, Mr. Lin, don't bother, we're just here for a quick visit and will be leaving soon."
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all. You're a guest, it's only right."
Lin Chen poured two glasses of water for the two of them, then sat down and took the initiative to say, "President Zhou, I've already told the marketing department that they'll contact you after the New Year."
