Chapter 62
With Lin Mian's help, He Xintong grew rapidly.
While taking care of He Lang, He Xintong understands He Lang's hard work over the years better every day than the previous one.
His father not only guards this broken home, but also supports countless families.
Standing at different angles, you will feel differently.
No matter when He Lang wakes up, He Xintong will protect everything He Lang cares about.
He Xintong was leaning on his hands in the cubicle to read the report. After Lin Mian taught him how to read the data, he became more powerful and could apply what he had learned to other situations.
"Bang"
He Xintong heard the sound of something sliding down, and he was startled at first, because he remembered that his caregiver had gone out to eat.
Then this voice... could it be what he thought?
The scene that He Xintong had imagined countless times in these days finally came into reality.
He Lang woke up.
He had no idea how long he had been unconscious, but when he saw the more mature He Xin with eyes full of surprise, he realized that he might have been unconscious for a long time.
When He Xintong thought he would be met with He Lang's hateful gaze, he actually got an unexpectedly complicated look.
After understanding everything and reading the documents handled by He Xintong, He Lang fell silent.
Is it hatred? Or is it more of guilt?
He Lang didn't know, and he didn't believe that He Yu would disappear from this world. He was just like any other ordinary father in this world. He wanted to see his son get married, start a family, and live a good life, instead of seeing his son die young.
He Yu is a vengeful person, a greedy little dragon who will protect his treasures. How could he die so easily before achieving his wish?
But the facts now tell He Lang that he only has He Xintong now.
However, for things he doesn't believe in, He Lang will push away the foggy veil and get the truth.
Maybe he was wrong in the past. His younger son was equally talented, and he shouldn't have let He Xintong waste such talent.
And now, he needs to rely on He Xintong to support the He family.
Then, he would go find He Yu in person and want to see her alive or dead. He didn't want to face his wife's accusations after his death.
Even if He Yu was really dead, he would bring He Yu back and bury her next to the grave where his wife was lying.
This is He Lang’s biggest obsession now.
Looking at his little son who was so cautious that he didn't dare to look at him, He Lang was silent for a long time and then sighed.
"Thank you for these days, you have done a great job."
He Xintong had never received such praise before.
His father doted on him but never praised him. After all, He Lang was a pragmatic man. If He Xintong was not his child, he would look down on He Xintong.
This son, whom he looked down upon and had no ability in his eyes, stood up when he was unconscious and prevented the He family from falling into panic.
This thank you is a sincere word from He Lang's heart.
And... He Lang's eyes drifted out the window.
Next, he will teach He Xintong personally so that He Xintong can continue to support the He family.
He Lang was still weak, and He Xintong did not ask his secretary to hand over all the documents to He Lang at once.
While He Lang is recovering, let him share his father's worries.
To be honest, after He Lang woke up, He Xintong felt relieved and he breathed a sigh of relief.
He began to get over the sad days. While processing documents, He Xintong couldn't help but start fantasizing about college life.
His university and Lin Mian's university are only a few kilometers away, so it is very convenient for him to ride a bicycle by himself.
He would take the driving test when he came of age, and if Lin Mian needed anything, he could ask him for help.
He Xintong is not afraid of trouble, he is just afraid that Lin Mian will not trouble him.
He wanted her to sit in the passenger seat with him, and enjoy the cool feeling of the breeze blowing across her cheeks with him in the brightly lit night.
There are many more fantasies that make He Xintong look forward to college life even more.
After all, He Lang is awake, so he can put down his burden now, right?
"Take a year off from school. I want to hand the company over to you."
A basin of cold water fell from the sky, soaking He Xintong completely.
He Xintong was stunned, and the dream made up of those fantasies shattered to the ground, becoming fragments that could never be put together again.
Even if he wanted to maintain his dignity as before, he couldn't hide the weakness when he spoke.
After waking up, He Lang's health became worse and worse.
He had a premonition that he might not have many days left in this world, just like his wife, whom even the top medical team could not keep.
How could he become a powerful jackal, tiger, or leopard that was feared by all? Besides, He Lang still had things he wanted to do.
He Lang concealed this news and did not let the outside world or He Xintong know.
Now he can only force things to grow faster and fatten He Xintong to become the new big tree of the He family.
He Lang gave He Xintong one year. If He Xintong could not become the head of the He family in this year, he would find a suitable person to manage the company and let He Xintong become a rich man who could get dividends. This was He Lang's love for He Xintong.
If He Xintong can withstand the pressure and satisfy him, then He Xintong will be the heir of the He family. His life will be accompanied by heavy pressure and countless glory and wealth, and he may become the next He Lang.
He Lang himself couldn't tell which of the two expected results he was looking forward to more.
But he knew he had to do it.
He Xintong's life became more difficult. He never thought that his life would one day become so bitter.
Lin Mian didn't know all this, she was also very busy.
Lin Mian didn't even rush back until the day before school started.
She and her teacher Li Zhiyuan have the same goal, which is to win the Grand Slam in the youth category of the three major piano competitions in the year before being promoted to the next group.
It just so happens that these three major competitions are held at the same time this year, which is a rare opportunity.
No one has ever done this. The best record before was that of Alexey from Russia. Before he was promoted to the next level, he won almost all the highest awards that could be obtained in the youth stage, and only lost in the Clib International Competition, one of the three major competitions.
Since no one can do it, Lin Mian wants to be the first person to create this record.
Just like she broke the record in the Go world and became the youngest world champion, she always believed that she could do anything and do it well.
Li Zhiyuan also thought so. This year, he didn't even take on any new students. He focused on figuring out how to help Lin Mian win the highest awards in various competitions.
This summer, Lin Mian has successfully won the ICC Youth Championship, a competition held every three years. It was a stroke of luck, otherwise Lin Mian would not have been able to achieve his goal.
The next thing to deal with is the Clib International Competition held in October, but before that, Lin Mian needs to return to China to report for school.
Going to school is a big deal for Chinese people. Even if Li Zhiyuan wanted to keep Lin Mian for training, he couldn't refuse this reason.
He just told Lin Mian to take care of his health and he would prepare everything and wait for Lin Mian to practice.
At this time, Lin Mian's advantage of studying at Beicheng University came into play, and it was very convenient for her to do whatever she wanted.
Before returning to China, he had to adjust to the time difference. In the morning, it was the nanny Wang Yan who woke Lin Mian up.
When Lin Mian got up sleepily and washed up, he hadn't realized that he had returned home.
It was not until he floated to the dining table and saw the Yangchun noodles that Lin Mian felt deeply that he had returned home.
The noodles are plain, with a little oil on the soup.
The hot soup slid smoothly down her throat. This was the breakfast she wanted!
Thinking that he ate bread with butter every day for convenience and it was tasteless, Lin Mian was about to fall in love with this bowl of plain noodles.
In fact, Lin Mei also asked Lin Mian if she needed to arrange a personal assistant for her to handle her life abroad. After all, Chen Xiaoqiu has a lot of things to do now and can no longer be with Lin Mian at all times.
Lin Mian did not agree. She was still young at that time, and Lin Mei was worried. She could not refuse the arrangement of a life assistant for Lin Mian, otherwise her mother would not be able to let her work hard for her career.
But now Lin Mian feels that she is grown up, and she is not incapable of taking care of herself. She does not need anyone to follow her and take care of her. She prefers to handle everything by herself.
But this does not mean that Lin Mian will do everything. She just prefers to act on her own, not take care of everything.
Just like now, she didn't know how to cook at all, nor did she force herself to cook, but just enjoyed the delicious food in front of her.
"morning"
Lin Mei also went downstairs. When Lin Mei came back last night, Lin Mian was already asleep, so they only met today.
"Good morning, Mom."
Lin Mian replied with a smile. She seemed to remember something, put down her chopsticks and went upstairs.
You haven't grown up at all, Lin Mei smiled and shook her head, then sat down to enjoy her breakfast. What she ate was different from what Lin Mian wanted to eat, it was vegetable and lean meat porridge.
Wang Yan knew the tastes of the mother and daughter very well. This was part of her job, but the Lin family also saw her contribution. The annual salary increase was considerable, and Wang Yan liked this job very much, which allowed her to raise children.
She is a single mother and when she applied for this job, she had many competitors. After all, the salary is there and everyone is trying to make a living. Who wouldn't want a job with a higher salary?
She had worked in the provincial team canteen before, which was a plus for her, but there were nutritionists here too, but Lin Mei still chose her.
Wang Yan has a daughter who is in high school. The reason for her divorce is that her husband has always favored boys over girls and wanted a son, but Wang Yan was unwilling to have another child. She did not want to lose the beautiful mother-daughter relationship of all these years because of an unknown "son".
Lin Mei is willing to give more women who have come forward a chance. Just like her company, the executives are not all men like in other companies.
She is willing to give more women the opportunity to try, look at everyone's work equally and then promote employees based on their work, but this is already rare nowadays.
After many capable women learned that she had a stage where they could display their talents, they sent Lin Mei a large number of resumes.
It's a good cycle.
Thinking about those obvious ambitions, the porridge in this bowl tastes even better.
"Da Da Da"
Rather than seeing this person first, he heard the sound of Lin Mian's footsteps on the wooden floor, rather than seeing her first.
She was a child who loved to be in the hustle and bustle. This was very clear when she didn't cry or make a fuss while Lin Mei carried her on her back to sell breakfast, but just looked at people with her eyes open.
Lin Mei would not persuade her. Although the old concept holds that quiet girls are beautiful, who says that girls are born to be quiet?
Women should not be silent. They should be active and continuously output their vitality that refuses to give up and refuses to admit defeat.
Isn't this the reason why she let Lin Mianfei go?
"Mom, look, what is this in my hand?"
Lin Mei looked over and saw that it was a famous brand lipstick.
“When I saw this shade, I thought it would be perfect for my mother.”
Whenever Lin Mian came back from abroad, he would always bring gifts for Lin Mei.
But this was the first time Lin Mian brought cosmetics for her.
Is it time to get old?
That's not the case. Lin Mian has loved beauty since she was a child, and she would only wear clothes after she had put them together herself.
It’s just that this child was not interested in these things before. He would only put some paint on his face during competitions when he was a child, but he didn’t care about these things at other times. That’s why Lin Mei was surprised.
But she didn't ask the question. She opened the lipstick cap and it was bright red.
Of course, Lin Mei has a lot of cosmetics and lipsticks. She doesn’t use them to make herself beautiful, but sometimes people are not in good condition and need cosmetics to decorate themselves and look good.
What she needs to show is not her beauty, but her strength.
In the face of any situation, you can remain as calm as a mountain, firmly sit at the helm, and keep this big ship firmly in place.
Lin Mei chuckled, "Then I'll put on this lipstick and accompany you to report."
The brown eyes brightened, as if countless stars were twinkling in them.
"Mom, are you coming with me today? Wow! That would be awesome!"
No matter how mature she appears, Lin Mian is still just a 14-year-old girl, and she also has childishness.
She wanted her mother to see the place where she would live for the next four years, like a child showing her favorite toy to an adult.
"Of course, Mom will definitely go to see your university."
It seems like it's a rule in China that parents always have to visit their children's university.
So Lin Mei finished all her work for today in advance just to report with Lin Mian.
After breakfast, when Lin Mei was putting on makeup in front of the mirror with the lipstick given by Lin Mian, Lin Mian's cell phone rang.
"Xiao Mian, are you back?"
He Xintong's voice came.
"I'm back and planning to report today."
"Then I'll go with you. I can still help you out a little. By the way, do you need a place to stay?"
In principle, North City University does not allow freshmen to study as day students or live off campus, but -
"I don't live on campus because the frequent competitions don't make it suitable for living on campus, so I don't have to live on campus."
Her reasons were sufficient. The unified accommodation for freshmen was mainly for the convenience of school management. However, Lin Mian's situation was more complicated and it was not convenient for the school to manage it, so they approved her application.
"Then I'll come straight to you later?"
His voice sounded somewhat excited, as if reporting with Lin Mian was particularly important to him.
"Let's meet at the school gate. It's too much of a detour to go from your house to school."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Mian turned around and saw Lin Mei looking at her.
Although he hadn't done anything wrong, Lin Mian's heart was beating fast.
