A CEO Grows Up

Since Ji Yuan's family came back, there were two more people in the house that Lin Chuchu had arranged for Lin Yu and Ji Yuan. So, in order to prevent any inconvenience, Lin Yu moved out. Lin Chuchu asked him to live with her and Fu Jingchen temporarily. She and Fu Jingchen lived in their previous house, the top floor of Xinshui Huating Community, which was also in the same community as theirs.

Lin Yu didn't want to disturb his daughter's life too much, so he asked when he arrived at Fu Jingchen and Lin Chuchu's residence: "Chuchu, how much does it cost to buy an ordinary house here? I don't need a big bungalow, nor a rooftop apartment. It's the same type as your uncle Ji's house, but a little smaller."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuchu immediately asked, "Dad, why are you asking these questions? Who wants to buy a house?"

Lin Yu changed his shoes, took off his coat and hung it at the door, then walked in, sat on the sofa and said, "I'll buy it myself. I don't want you to spend any more money. You've already spent a lot of money on Lan He and your Uncle Ji. Humph, I say you should sell the house to Ji Yuan, the old fox. You're already old, but you're taking advantage of the younger generation. It's just a house, you're not broke."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuchu immediately asked in confusion: "Dad, do you and Uncle Ji have money?"

Lin Yu was puzzled when he heard this: "Then how do you think we have survived for the past twenty years? Doing nothing? Picking up scraps for a living?"

Lin Chuchu and Fu Jingchen both sat next to Lin Yu, and Lin Chuchu thought for a moment and said, "Well... we can also live in the mountains and make a living by hunting." This is basically how Uncle Fan got through life.

……

Lin Yu was speechless. "In your eyes, are we so pitiful? We were doing well in Country H. We joined a mercenary group at that time. People from wealthy families hired us to do things for us. They all asked for a higher price. Moreover, we lived and ate in the army. We basically didn't spend any money. We saved all the money we earned. I should have more than 500 million now, and your Uncle Ji has more than 400 million."

Lin Chuchu was shocked and confused when she heard this. She finally asked, "Dad, you and Uncle Ji have so much savings, but why does Uncle Lan only have 30 in savings? Uncle Lan is not bad, right?"

Lin Yu sighed and said speechlessly: "He, didn't he already have a wife at that time? So, he bought a house, but he didn't love her and didn't give her a wedding. He felt sorry for her, so he gave her financial compensation, especially after they had a child, the expenses were even greater. Look, my savings are probably not as much as Liu Ruyan's."

Lin Chuchu suddenly realized that Uncle Lan was really a kind person, but in the end, she was left penniless. . .

Lin Chuchu then said, "How can Liu Ruyan spend money so much? According to Lan Xinrui, she doesn't have much in her savings."

Lin Yu snorted and said, "She gave it to her parents. At that time, Liu Ruyan's family went to Country H with the whole family. The family was very poor, and her brother was a gambler. So she gave a lot of money to her parents."

Oh, so that's how it is. Uncle Lan is so pitiful, he has to support a whole family...

. . . .

Lan Xinrui had a very sweet life these days. Although she and Chen Chuhang were not really together, their relationship became somewhat strange after she expressed her feelings to Chen Chuhang. She didn’t know what Chen Chuhang said to Zhao Ya’an, but Mrs. Chen treated her like a daughter-in-law, always inviting her to their Chen family for dinner, and treating her very well. So the two of them now get along like lovers, holding hands while shopping, eating together, and watching movies together. Sometimes, Chen Chuhang would kiss her, but she never broke through the last line of defense. However, Lan Xinrui’s goals and plans were not affected by her relationship, and she still studied hard, which sometimes made Chen Chuhang feel particularly distressed. . .

On the eve of the Spring Festival this year, Lan Wanghuai and Lan He kept calling Lan Yu to ask him to come back. Lan Yu finally came back three days before the Spring Festival. They didn't know if it was an illusion, but Lan Wanghuai and Lan He felt that Lan Yu was a completely different person. He became much calmer than before, and brought gifts for each of them, all of which were designed and made by him.

Lan Wanghuai's was a jade pendant, and Lan He's was a men's bracelet, made of sterling silver. It wasn't expensive, but it was full of thought. It was two ovals interlocked together. Wearing them on their bodies gave people the impression that they were very artistic and mysterious. Lan Xinrui waited for a long time, but Lan Yu didn't give her any, so she pouted and asked, "Where's mine?"

Lan Yu smiled when he heard that, and thought of teasing Lan Xinrui, so he said, "Oh, by the way, there's someone else at home. I haven't contacted you for such a long time, and I forgot about you. I'm sorry. How about this, I'll owe you now and make it up next time."

Lan Xinrui immediately pointed at her nose and said in disbelief, "You forgot about me? Lan Yu, how could you be so heartless to forget about me? You did it on purpose."

Upon hearing this, Lan Yu said "lululu" three times to Lan Xinrui in a naughty manner. Lan Xinrui was so angry that she raised her hand to hit him. Fortunately, Lan Yu was quick enough to hide behind Lan He.

Lan Xinrui was so angry that she couldn't catch him that she said aggrievedly: "Brother, look at him, help me catch him."

Lan He smiled and said, "Let me think about it. Think about how I can catch him. Which hand should I use?"

Lan Xinrui immediately said, "Oh, does it matter which hand you use?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Yu immediately moved away from Lan He and said, "You can't catch me, la la la la la."

……

Lan He looked at the nagging Lan Yu and said, "If you continue like this, I will help Xin Rui catch you..."

Lan Wanghuai was very pleased when he looked at the lively children. This kind of atmosphere was what he wanted but dared not imagine. Not only could his children live in peace, but they also lived in harmony. He was very pleased.

Lan Yu stopped teasing her, and immediately took out a small box and said, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Here it is. But, call me brother. You have never called me brother since you were little. So just call me second brother."

Lan Xinrui didn't buy it and snorted, "No, I don't. You were only born a little earlier than me. I don't want to call you brother."

Lan Yu said bluntly: "Even if he was born a second earlier, he would still be your brother. Do you want to call me that?"

Lan Xinrui said proudly: "I won't scream."

Black! I think you are too nervous.

Lan He smiled helplessly and said, "Don't tease her, she will start to cry soon."

Lan Xinrui was immediately wronged when she was exposed: "Brother, I am not such a crybaby. You are slandering me."

Lan He smiled and said, "Oh, I was wrong, I was wrong, I surrender."

Lan Yu stopped teasing her and handed the box to her.

Lan Xinrui opened the small box and found a bracelet inside. It was a style that was not available now. It was very delicate and beautiful. She liked it very much.
