If it were before, Bai Chen might have listened to the old man and given up some things for the benefit of the family, but now he is no longer the person who only cares about his career.
Now, the most important thing in his heart is his wife and children. If he lets Bai Shihan marry someone he doesn't like, wouldn't that be like asking for his life...
I finally got the chance to compensate my daughter. No matter who it is, no one can stop the little girl's happiness.
Even though I sometimes disliked that brat, most of the time he could make me feel comfortable. No matter how he behaved or his personal conduct, at least he was not as annoying and hypocritical as other young masters.
Bai Chen has been in the workplace for decades. Although he doesn't understand all types of people, he has come into contact with quite a few. However, none of them is as honest as Lin Xinyu. He is the first brat who dares to point at him and scold him.
"You wouldn't dare talk to him like that before."
Qiu Jingyun picked up a large piece of pear from the fruit plate nearby with a toothpick and fed it into his mouth as a reward.
"You also said that, that was in the past."
Bai Chen ate it without hesitation, thinking back to the time when he had to listen to the old man in everything. The reason why the old man favored his eldest brother was very simple. It was because their first child was a girl, while his eldest brother's family had only boys. So it was no doubt that the old man, who favored boys over girls, would favor one side.
When his granddaughter was born, the old man didn't even want to see her. Now he says he is considering an arranged marriage for the sake of his granddaughter's happiness. This is bullshit!
"That brat is very good to Shihan, and he has a good business sense. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to develop a small website into this. He is really good."
Qiu Jingyun smiled.
Although Bai Chen was always reluctant to admit that he had already approved of Lin Xinyu in his heart, he would still inadvertently express his admiration for him. It would definitely be a lie to say that he didn't want him to be his son-in-law.
"You just want him to be your son-in-law, right?"
"How could I? But if you really think Lin Xinyu is good, and Shihan likes him, I don't mind bringing them together. As long as the two like each other, that's enough."
Bai Chen was still being stubborn at this time, but in fact he had already begun to tacitly approve of the relationship between the two.
After all, he knew that Shihan liked Lin Xinyu, and it would be a beautiful thing if the two of them were really destined to be together.
Qiu Jingyun couldn't help but laugh when she saw this: "You really have a sharp tongue but a soft heart."
Bai Chen's thoughts were exposed, his face slightly reddened, and he immediately changed the subject: "How about we go there to celebrate the New Year this year?"
"What about Wenjie?"
"It's not impossible to go together. It would be great if both families could be reunited."
After hearing Bai Chen's agreement, Qiu Jingyun immediately became excited, "I'll call Shihan later."
…
At this moment, Lin Xinyu and Bai Shihan are preparing for what needs to be done on Christmas Eve.
First, Lin Xinyu took the little girl to the stall location they found, and then put everything in place.
Before, they had seen many people organizing various activities specifically for the festival, such as barbecue, singing, dancing, etc.
"Tomorrow night, we will officially open here."
Lin Xinyu pointed to a table not far away, and then briefly explained to Bai Shihan the various processes of selling apples. Because it was Christmas Eve, there were quite a few apples for sale.
I'm just selling apple packages, but the price I set is still affordable for students in the school. And because tomorrow happens to be Saturday, students basically have no classes, so there will be a lot of people coming to buy apples.
Christmas Eve is also called Lovers' Night. Many couples will go out on dates on this day. As their relationship heats up, a few of them may stay out all night and finally get married.
Of course, there are good situations and bad situations. Some people who are ready to confess their love may get a rejection on the same day. So Christmas Eve is a polarized night for couples. Those who are happy will be very happy, and those who are sad will be very sad.
For people like Lin Xinyu and Bai Shihan, who are already a couple, they don't have such concerns at all.
"After you sell the apples tomorrow, what are you going to do with the money you make?"
Bai Shihan leaned in Lin Xinyu's arms and did not answer him.
"Did you do such a good job of keeping the secret this time?" Lin Xinyu stared at her jokingly.
"secret."
"Then tell me secretly, is the money enough? If not, I will prepare more for you."
Bai Shihan shook her head: "That's enough."
What's more, the things she wants only make sense if she buys them with her own money. If they are given by others, it will be meaningless.
Seeing that the little girl had no intention of saying anything, Lin Xinyu could only wait until the evening to take her back and interrogate her carefully.
However, the idea was good, but he didn't expect Bai Shihan to be so stubborn that she refused to say it even if she felt uncomfortable. In the end, Lin Xinyu had no choice but to surrender.
This is Xiaohanhan’s first victory.
So much so that she was very bold to hug him when she slept, completely unlike before when she would curl up in his arms to sleep.
…
The next morning, after getting up and having a simple breakfast, they went straight to school.
Since selling apples does not have to wait until night, after all, giving gifts to each other can start during the day, so several people have to start setting up the stall in the morning and move all the prepared packaged apples to the designated stall.
In order to let others better understand what this place is for, the group also specially prepared a small Christmas tree and placed it near the stall.
, which is hung with all kinds of colorful lights.
These were all proposed by Bai Shihan.
Lin Xinyu had no objection to this. After all, the little girl liked to play and do whatever she wanted.
Maybe it was because of her first victory last night, Bai Shihan has been in a good mood since morning, her face is rosy, her eyes are bright, and she looks particularly energetic.
She helped to set up the stall, then ran to the side to sort out apple boxes. She seemed even busier than Lin Xinyu.
Lin Xinyu followed her reluctantly, taking pictures with his camera.
He noticed long ago that whenever Bai Shihan smiled, a shallow dimple would appear on her face, making her look sweet and charming.
Such beautiful moments naturally need to be recorded by a camera to avoid being forgotten by time.
It was not until noon that everyone finished buying one batch of apples, after all, they still had to sell them in the evening.
While everyone was resting, Lin Jin went to buy lunch at some point, and the group sat near the flower bed and ate lunch.
Bai Shihan ate with gusto, and from time to time she looked up at Lin Xinyu not far away, and at the same time she did not forget to pick up the camera to take pictures of the two of them eating.
After dinner, the group continued to work.
Bai Shihan walked and talked to Luo Xixi and the others, while Lin Xinyu followed behind them, taking pictures of each other's serious and curious expressions, especially the pouting looks on their faces, which were so adorable.
Although this kind of life is plain and simple, it is what Lin Xinyu has always longed for. Therefore, he feels that this tranquility and simplicity are very suitable for his current self.
Maybe because of the experience in the morning, when Bai Shihan came to deal with the remaining apples in the evening, she was obviously much more experienced than before. Sometimes she would directly stop the classmates passing by and ask them if they needed peace apples.
Some students actually didn't plan to buy the apples, but when they saw the little girl's innocent and cute appearance and her sincere attitude, they bought the apples from her.
This made the little girl very happy. After the girl who bought the apples left, she even went directly to Lin Xinyu to show off: "Look, am I not pretty good?"
"Yes, you are the best."
Lin Xinyu scratched her nose from behind, which made Bai Shihan very happy.
This feeling is just like when someone asks her if she is great or not. The little girl didn’t understand this kind of mentality at first, but after experiencing it once, she realized that being praised by others is such a happy and joyful thing.
In Lin Xinyu's eyes, Bai Shihan is indeed excellent. She can always learn things quickly. If she were not introverted and afraid to communicate with others, she would definitely become a leader in society, not to mention a small wealthy woman.
Moreover, in front of Lin Xinyu, she knew how to share her inner thoughts and would not hide anything from him no matter what happened. For example, the little girl could make simple simulations of what problems the food delivery network might face or its future development direction.
This is enough to illustrate Shihan's business talent.
But this girl never showed it. Instead, she always tried hard to play the role of a well-behaved and sensible person.
As a result, Lin Xinyu always couldn't help but want to bully her.
“Is it fun to sell apples?”
"Fun!" Bai Shihan liked this kind of game. Whenever she saw others buying apples and showing happy and satisfied expressions on their faces, she couldn't help but feel happy, as if she had bought them herself.
"Yes, there is also an apple for you today."
Lin Xinyu took out an apple from somewhere and handed it to Bai Shihan's mouth.
The little girl paused for a moment, then opened her mouth and ate some, then smiled sweetly with her curved eyebrows, looking very beautiful.
She didn't notice that Lin Xinyu's eyes were looking at her, flashing with a soft and warm light, as if the entire night sky had become much brighter.
"You'll be happier when we share the money later."
"real?"
Bai Shihan looked like a little money-grubber. In fact, she just wanted to use the money she earned to knit scarves for Lin Xinyu's parents, not to mention Lin Xinyu. However, she had to keep all this secret, so she didn't tell the other party.
The two of them chatted and laughed all the way home. Since they were in the car, they could not feel the cold wind blowing from outside at night.
Before they got home, Lin Xinyu's phone rang. Since he was driving, he asked Bai Shihan to answer the call.
Who knew that Bai Chen's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hey, Dad..."
"Shihan? Where's Xiaoyu? He's not with you?"
“He’s driving.”
Because it was hands-free, Lin Xinyu could hear it.
"Uncle, I'm driving. If you have anything to say, just tell me. There's no one else in the car."
Who knew that Bai Chen on the other end of the phone immediately said that everything was fine and then hung up the phone, leaving both the little girl and him a little confused.
"What did Dad call for?"
"I guess he must have wanted to say that I would take you home for the New Year, but he was embarrassed to say it because you were next to him, so he hung up the phone." Lin Xinyu's tone was relaxed and cheerful, as if he was not worried about this matter at all.
Bai Shihan nodded. Although she was still confused, since he said so, she would not let her imagination run wild. Xiao Hanhan was just that kind of person. She would believe whatever Lin Xinyu said.
When the two returned to the villa, when Bai Shihan went to take a shower, Lin Xinyu went to the balcony and called Bai Chen again.
The call was quickly connected.
"Hello, uncle. You wouldn't call me for no reason, right?"
This is indeed the case. Because the old man started to take action, he thought about transferring part of the funds in his hands, so that the other party would not notice it. After all, it was moved out slowly in small portions. As long as the other party could not find the specific amount, even if they suspected him, they would not be able to find any evidence.
"Xiaoyu, how is the website doing lately?"
"Why did uncle suddenly ask me this?"
It was obvious that there was something behind the other party's words. Lin Xinyu was not the kind of person who knew nothing, so he immediately understood the meaning.
"Haha, it's nothing, I just want to care about you. After all, we are relatives. You are a very sensible child. Uncle is worried that you are too tired."
"Thank you for your concern, uncle. The website has been making good profits recently."
Soon, there was a short silence on the other end of the phone, and then continued: "Xiao Yu, Shi Han's grandfather wants her to marry, this matter..."
"Uncle wants to tell me that he has agreed?"
"You little brat, am I this kind of person in your mind?" Bai Chen was obviously a little angry.
Although he might have been like this before, he has changed a lot now.
"Uncle, you misunderstood. I'm not saying you're that kind of person, it's just..."
"I can understand that. After all, there were indeed many things that were wrong before."
Bai Chen did not continue to be angry on purpose, but instead admitted the wrong things he had done before.
That's why Lin Xinyu changed his opinion of him.
"Uncle wants me to work harder. You and Auntie have already rejected Grandpa's proposal. Is that right?"
"Well, I told your aunt about this, but the old man wouldn't give in, so we can only try to delay time."
"Uncle, don't worry. I will never let you down."
Bai Chen smiled with relief when he heard that. He knew that Lin Xinyu would always stick to his principles no matter what he did, and that his choice was right. After all, if it were him, he probably wouldn't have the confidence to be fearless like him.
"If you are short of funds or anything, tell me, uncle. Don't be embarrassed. I think the old man will take action against our company soon."
"Also, for the New Year this year, ask your parents to prepare a few more pairs of chopsticks. We will go there too."
