Chapter 140: From Becoming the Richest Woman in the World to Considering Romantic Relationships
"You used to dislike Han Chuan getting close to your daughter, but now, judging from your tone, it seems like you've taken a liking to the Xie family brat..." Madam Lin looked at Lin Dayou as if he were a monster.
"Looking around, Xie Hanchuan is a reliable and hardworking young man..." He doesn't talk much when he comes, but he's always ready to help. He's a good kid.
At this moment, Lin Dayou transformed into a relationship expert, acting as if he knew everything about relationships between men and women.
"Daughter, what do you think of Han Chuan's performance lately?" Madam Lin first glared at Lin Dayou, then turned to ask Lin Luoxi, who was sitting on a stool with her legs crossed, seemingly unconcerned.
"How can you look at it? I'm struggling to make ends meet right now, so I don't have the energy to think about things between men and women, unless... one day I become the richest woman in the world."
People only think about trivial things when they have enough to eat and wear and have some spare money.
Lin Luoxi has lofty ambitions. Whether in modern times or this era, she has never wanted to depend on a man for the rest of her life. She wants to take control of her own life.
Xie Hanchuan, standing at the corner of Lin Luoxi's house, initially wanted to rush into the Lin family home immediately upon hearing Lin Dayou's words. He quickly expressed his feelings and made up his mind to find a matchmaker to propose marriage the next day.
The next moment, upon hearing Lin Luoxi's words, all his passion was instantly extinguished by a bucket of cold water, and he instantly sobered up.
Yes, the Lin Luoxi who is sober now is not the silly girl she used to be. Now she only thinks about making money and building her career. If he really doesn't have any ambition, he really won't be able to marry this capable girl smoothly.
After calming herself down at the corner of the Lin family's house, she seemed to have made up her mind and walked steadily home, step by step.
"Yes, yes, Second Sister is right. My Second Sister is so outstanding. Not to mention Brother Hanchuan, even the most outstanding young man in the world might not be good enough for her." In Lin Wentao's heart, Lin Luoxi was like the mountain behind the house, steady and reliable.
A figure like a chivalrous hero naturally wouldn't want Lin Luoxi to get married so soon.
"You're so sweet-talking." Lin Luoxi couldn't help but reach out and pinch the increasingly chubby cheeks of Lin Wentao after hearing his words, and she laughed.
“I also think that my second sister is as beautiful as an angel. No ordinary man is worthy of you. The Wang family dared to break off the engagement with you before. They made a mistake in their judgment. They will regret it in the future.”
Looking at the increasingly beautiful Lin Luoxi, Lin Wenqian felt more and more that the Wang family was unlucky.
However, it's for the best. A snob like Wang Guangrong is not good enough for Lin Luoxi now.
"Second sister, you are the most beautiful, the best, the most amazing..." Lin Luoning saw Lin Wenqian and Lin Wentao showering Lin Luoxi with compliments, and she got anxious. She quickly used all the nice words she could think of on Lin Luoxi.
"Hahaha..." Lin Da looked at his children again, the scene of brothers being respectful and loving, which made him laugh out loud. This was just like the seed of his, Lin Dayou.
"Oh no!" Lian Da was laughing for a moment when the terrifying scene from last night flashed through his mind. He slapped his thigh and exclaimed in surprise.
"Dad, why did you scare me like that?" Lin Luoning was startled by Lin Dayou's sudden action and jumped up, giving him a reproachful look.
"I'm sorry! I got a little excited just now, I..." Lin Dayou didn't know what to say, so he could only turn his head and make a backing motion towards Lin Luoxi.
"Dad, what kind of secret signal did you give Second Sister? You're being so mysterious." Lin Wentao, though young, was clever and quick-witted. He naturally noticed Lin Dayou's actions and immediately called out.
"What nonsense are you kids talking about? I didn't use any secret codes. What I meant was that it's getting late, so hurry up and wash up and go to bed. We have a lot of important things to do tomorrow, so don't even think about slacking off."
After seeing that Lin Luoxi had noticed his action, Lin Dayou quickly withdrew his hand.
Before Lin Wangshi could even look over, Lin Dayou preemptively shouted at Lin Wentao and the others before turning around and going back into the house.
Never mind, it's late at night now, and he wouldn't dare go to the back mountain alone, so I might as well go to sleep.
Seeing Lin Dayou's actions, Ye Xia suddenly remembered that there was still an injured person in the cave behind the mountain.
"I have something to do, I'll go out for a bit." Ignoring the curious looks on everyone's faces, Lin Luoxi said this, pushed open her courtyard gate, and rushed out into the night.
"Lin Dayou, come out here!" When Madam Lin saw that Ruoxi was still running outside so late, she knew that the father and daughter must be hiding something from them.
With his hands on his hips, he faced his house and called out Lin Dayou's full name.
"It's here. If it's a blessing in disguise, it's not a curse; if it's a curse, you can't escape it..."
Hearing Lin Wangshi shout this from inside the house, Lin Dayou was so frightened that he kept muttering the same phrase, clearly quite frightened by Lin Wangshi's actions.
Not daring to delay for a moment, and being careful not to escalate Lin Wangshi's anger, they quickened their pace to walk outside.
"Speak, what exactly are you two hiding from us..." Seeing Lin Dayou's cowardly appearance, Madam Lin's anger flared up.
This man is a coward, yet he dares to hide things from her, letting his daughter go out alone late at night. How could he, as a father, do such a thing?
"I'm going to find Daya!" Whether it was a sudden epiphany or not, Lin Dayu saw that Lin Wangshi was so angry that her head was practically steaming, so he threw down this sentence and ran outside at the fastest speed he had ever been.
"Dad, wait for me..." Lin Wenqian was about to chase after him when he realized what was happening, but he couldn't even see a shadow of him.
It was pitch black everywhere in the middle of the night. He seemed to have inherited a bit of Lin Dayou's timidity. When he saw the overlapping dark shadows under the night sky, he was so frightened that he shrank back again.
“I feel uneasy leaving you, Mom, my younger brother and sister, who are all vulnerable and helpless, at home. I’d better stay here with you.”
To try to find such a righteous reason for one's cowardice is nothing but self-deception.
"Oh." Judging from Lin Wentao's expression, he didn't believe Lin Wenqian's far-fetched reasons.
“Big brother, we won’t laugh at you for being scared. After all, we’re scared too, except for second sister, on such a dark night.”
Lin Luoning, being young, didn't know how to be tactful like an adult, and bluntly exposed Lin Wenqian's true feelings.
"Hehe..." Lin Wenqian could only laugh awkwardly, his thoughts exposed by his family.
