Chapter 4 Dad, can you please wake up a little?
Ji Linchen's mother was shocked when she heard this, and so was An's father.
An Nuan didn't give them a chance to say anything. "Aunt Wu, this is what's going on. My dad also worked at your stall and worked as your free porter for twelve years. He even contributed to the ingredients and other expenses of your store. That doesn't count. After all, my dad really wants to start a family with you. But I don't think you have that intention. Ji Linchen and I are both grown up. We're in a melon field and plum tree field, and people's gossip is scary. I want to let my dad start a new life while he's still young and has no burdens. Aunt Wu, you won't object, will you?"
Before Ji Linchen's mother could answer, An's father angrily scolded An Nuan, "Nuannuan, how dare you talk to Aunt Wu like that? Why are you meddling in adult matters? Just focus on preparing for the exam. Dad doesn't need you to worry about anything."
"Dad, can you please be more clear-headed? If Aunt Wu really liked you, why hasn't she been with you all these years? Dad, don't use the fact that Ji Linchen and I are still young as an excuse. You know better than anyone that Aunt Wu is beautiful and has a small breakfast stall to make a living. How could she like you? In her heart, you are just a free porter."
An Nuan’s words were not false.
In the previous life, even though An Nuan and Ji Linchen invested money to buy them a villa, Ji Linchen's mother said, "Linchen, Mom knows you are filial, but your uncle An and I still don't live together. Mom and your uncle An are both old, and those young people are not suitable for us. We should still live in our own places, just like we did in the alley."
An Nuan had always thought that Ji Linchen's mother said this because she needed some personal space, especially as her status rose. It wasn't until An Nuan came home late from a social event one day that she learned what Ji Linchen's mother was really thinking.
This is what she told Ji Linchen, "Linchen, don't get involved in the affairs between me and your Uncle An. I will not get a marriage certificate with him and live with him."
Ji Linchen asked, "Why?"
"Of course it's because my son is now the richest man."
"Lin Chen, I won't hide it from you. Back then, you were still young, and your father had passed away, leaving behind a mountain of debts. Only your Uncle An didn't despise me and took care of me. From the first time I met him, I knew he liked me, but I couldn't let him have me. Lin Chen, don't take it as a joke, but how could your Uncle An, a casual worker, be worthy of me?"
"I hooked him up because he was able to work as a free porter for the breakfast stall wholeheartedly and without complaint. And An Nuan, son, your status is different now, proving that all the decisions I made back then were correct. You see, An Nuan is just like her father, completely devoted to us mother and son. However, I still don't want her to be my daughter-in-law."
"Lin Chen, look at these photos. They're all daughters of wealthy men. An Nuan and you are childhood sweethearts, but she's a porter's daughter with no background and isn't worthy of you. Mom asked her to be your little follower, to keep an eye on you all the time, just for your Uncle An to see. It was to give him peace of mind that even if things don't work out between him and me, he'll still have a guarantee."
"Listen to me, mother. Marry a rich girl worthy of you and improve the genes of our Ji family. If anything goes wrong, your father-in-law can help you."
An Nuan was so angry that she laughed. She wanted to go up and ask, "Aunt Wu, my dad is indeed a porter, but he has been devoted to you all these years. I understand you had concerns when conditions were not good before, but now Lin Chen is the richest man, what else do you have to worry about? And you want to introduce Lin Chen to a rich girl? What do you think of me?"
