Chapter 9: Beautiful and Kind
Lin Ruoyan opened the Children's Encyclopedia and found several famous scenic spots in Jing City. She asked, "Son, these attractions are in Jing City. Let's go see them together tomorrow, okay?"
Lin Mengxi looked puzzled.
Lin Ruoyan, like a salesperson trying to sell a tourist product, spoke eloquently about the rich history of the Forbidden City, Jingshan, Beihai, and Prince Gong's Mansion. In short, although he wanted to buy a courtyard house, he might as well take a look at the surrounding attractions.
She could explore any location her son was interested in. Since she didn't have a regular job, she could just let her brother's assistant, Wang, take care of the company registration. It was definitely a good idea for her to take some time out of her busy schedule to spend more time with her son.
Unexpectedly, Lin Mengxi showed little interest in what she heard. Her eyelids drooped, and finally she couldn't hold it any longer and said, "Mom, I'm sleepy, go to sleep."
Lin Ruoyan was devastated. Was her story so bland and hypnotic? Perhaps her son, at his age, would prefer an amusement park? She dragged her son to the bathroom to wash up while asking for suggestions for improvement: "Son, you've been cooped up at home for so many days. Is there anywhere you want to go?"
"A big bookstore. I've finished reading the books my uncle bought."
It was rare for her son to say so many words at once. Lin Ruoyan thought that this did not seem to be typical autism. Perhaps the genius did not want to pay attention to ordinary people and pretended to be autistic.
Since her son had such an idea, how could she refuse? Anyway, there were also big bookstores in places where courtyard houses were gathered. She readily agreed, "Okay, tomorrow Mom will take you to the West D Book Building. There are a lot of books there."
Lin Mengxi's little face finally showed an expectant expression.
He found that his mother seemed to have changed. In the past, his mother hated reading the most. Apart from some old fashion magazines, there was not even a dictionary in the house.
After returning to his home in Beijing, the main reason why Lin Mengxi didn't like going out was that there were many books and dictionaries in his uncle's study, such as the Xinhua Dictionary, the Idiom Dictionary, and famous ancient poems... His uncle also specially bought him more than a dozen new editions of children's books.
He was left alone every day, his food and clothing taken care of by servants, so he could only read. Time flew by, and he felt very happy. Unfortunately, he had already read most of the books he could understand.
He had recently started secretly reading English books. His uncle had several English dictionaries in his study, which he used to help him understand some of the text. There were also popular science books on mathematics, literature, and art, which were all very interesting.
His mother changed her temper tonight and actually agreed to take him to the big bookstore tomorrow. He was very happy. He washed up, changed into pajamas, lay on the bed and fell asleep immediately.
In real life, Lin Ruoyan has never been married and has no children. However, she found a genius son for free when she traveled through the book. She has no worries about food and clothing, and she doesn't have to deal with her son's biological father and in-laws like a normal family. It's so great for her to be single and take care of the child, leaving the father behind and the son behind.
My son is very handsome. His facial features are more delicate than those of a little girl. He has big eyes and long eyelashes. Even now, there is a smile on the corner of his mouth in his sleep. He will definitely be a gentle and handsome boy when he grows up.
Unfortunately, she only lived for eight months and was unable to grow up with her son.
Fortunately, her own brother and the fake daughter Li Yiqi were both kind-hearted people. She secretly made up her mind to teach her son how to communicate normally with others while she was still alive, so that her son could become more lovable and make more friends.
This way, even if she is gone in the future, her son will not be alone.
The next morning, Lin Ruoyan took her son to the breakfast room on the first floor as usual, but found that her brother had worked overtime and stayed up too late the previous night and had not yet woken up.
Lin Ruoyan was a little disappointed, but she still asked Mrs. Chen to remind her brother to have a good breakfast and not to just make do with it. If he really didn't have time, he could bring a lunch box and eat in the car.
Mrs. Chen immediately understood and packed a meal in an insulated lunch box.
Lin Ruoyan also helped to pack and brought up the topic: "Mrs. Chen, you look worried."
Mrs. Chen was stunned for a moment, then covered it up by saying, "No, I just haven't been sleeping well these past few days, so my reaction has been slow. I'm sorry, Miss."
Lin Ruoyan said sincerely: "My brother is busy and can't pay too much attention. But we are all family. If you have any difficulties, you might as well talk to me."
Ever since Li Yiqi was admitted to university at the age of 18, she only came home during the holidays. Mrs. Chen had indeed noticed that the house had become much quieter. For a moment, she had thought it was Miss Li who had returned. It turned out that Miss Ruoyan wasn't cold and introverted. She had ignored everyone a few days ago, perhaps because she was shy. Now she seemed very approachable, thoughtful, and easy to get along with.
Mrs. Chen bravely said, "My uncle came to Beijing from his hometown for medical treatment. I didn't expect the deposit for hospitalization and surgery to be so high. I used my salary to buy an investment product, but now it's not due yet, so I can't withdraw it. My uncle is from the countryside and thought investment products were fixed-term loans, so he thought I was reluctant to give up the interest. Alas, I can't explain it clearly, but I just can't withdraw it. But the hospitalization and treatment can't wait, so I'm a little worried."
"Then how much money do you need?" Lin Ruoyan quickly said, "I'll lend it to you first."
Mrs. Chen was an honest and decent person. The salary the Lin family paid her was always the highest in the industry. With only one person in the house, her job was quite leisurely. She didn't feel comfortable asking her master for a loan. She hesitated and said, "That's out of the question. I was thinking of taking half a day off today to go to the financial management company and talk to them about it and get the money back."
Lin Ruoyan soothed him gently, "Financial management depends on the contract. If it was agreed that the money could only be collected on a certain date, you still have to follow the contract when you go there."
"It's 50,000 yuan. I just want to withdraw it. How can they not give it to me?" Mrs. Chen muttered.
Before she transmigrated into the book, 50,000 yuan in cash was not something Lin Ruoyan could easily take out, but now she has 800 million yuan in her account.
The original book didn't explain the plot in such detail, only saying that the real daughter not only didn't help Chen Sao, but also was very picky and disliked her, which made people feel cold. Lin Ruoyan thought that the deposit Chen Sao mentioned could be very high, but it turned out to be only 50,000?
The prodigal system said dissatisfiedly: [Host, how could you give money to Mrs. Chen? ]
Lin Ruoyan retorted, "I'm giving money to Chen Sao's uncle. What's wrong? Is Chen Sao's uncle not a man anymore?"
The prodigal system was a little short of breath: [He's a man, but you haven't seen him before? ]
Lin Ruoyan was at ease: "Then I'll go to the hospital after I'm cured, then we'll get to know each other, right?"
The prodigal system was defeated.
In Lin Ruoyan's opinion, no matter how little money was spent, it was still a normal and reasonable expense. She said, "Fifty thousand is not a lot, so please don't be polite. Wait a minute, I'll go up and get it for you. Don't think too much, saving people is the most important thing."
After spending the money, Lin Ruoyan had no intention of asking for it back. She had to spend 100 million every month, so 50,000 was really nothing. Mrs. Chen, please don't pay it back. Try to delay it for a year or two, and wait until she has spent the last eight months in peace.
In an era when online banking wasn't common, carrying a wallet and cash was standard. Therefore, Lin Ruoyan had a small safe in her bedroom where she kept some cash for her daily expenses, saving her from having to wait in line at the bank to withdraw money.
Of course, the so-called pocket money was at least a hundred thousand yuan. She quickly returned to her room, fetched fifty thousand yuan in cash, and handed it to Mrs. Chen, saying, "You've worked in my family for so many years and know me well. Even if you don't need to borrow money, an advance on your salary is fine."
Mrs. Chen was so moved that her eyes turned red and she burst into tears. She really didn't expect that Miss Ruoyan was so beautiful and kind-hearted.
