Chapter 95 Brothers! High-end game tonight!
"Linlin, this is your friend."
Xu Qingyou asked tentatively.
Xu Lin nodded, turned sideways, and introduced:
"Mom and Dad, he is Lin Jiang. He is the one who picks up Xuanxuan for me when I am busy."
"Thank you so much, young man."
"We are neighbors. It's just a small matter. It's nothing."
"Grandma, Grandpa, didn't you just say you wanted to talk to Uncle Lin? You can talk to him now."
Lin Jiang and Xu Lin looked at each other, wondering what the old couple wanted to talk about.
"When did I say I wanted to talk to your uncle Lin? I wanted to talk to your mother."
"The house is being renovated. I have to go over and supervise the work. I'll have to excuse myself for a moment."
Lin Jiang found an excuse to leave.
"Mom and Dad, I've thought it through. Please don't talk about this anymore."
Xu Lin guessed what the old couple were going to say, so she spoke in advance and shut them up.
"You guys were able to pretend before, but now you can't even pretend anymore. Tell me the truth, is this related to this young man?"
On the surface, the two of them didn't care about Xu Lin and respected her opinion, but as parents, how could they support their children's divorce? Even if they did want to divorce, they would raise the children first before divorcing.
The reason why he didn't say a word was because he couldn't control Xu Lin.
"Of course it doesn't matter. I guess you won't believe me if I say this."
Xu Lin is very resilient. If everything remains peaceful and everyone plays their own games, she will tolerate this for the sake of the children.
The last straw that broke the camel's back was what Zhao Dongming said last night.
This person only cares about money and will do anything to achieve his goal.
Xu Lin felt like she would suffocate if she continued to stay with such a person.
"But then again, this young man's conditions are really good." Wang Xiazhi looked at the decoration of the house and couldn't help but sigh:
"Such a big house, with such nice decoration, must cost a lot of money."
"The house cost 1.65 million. As for how much the renovation cost, I don't know. It must have cost tens of millions. There is not a single cheap thing in this house."
"Ah? 1.65 million?"
The old couple's eyes widened, "If your father and I were gone, I guess you wouldn't burn so much."
"What are you two talking about?" Xu Lin said speechlessly:
"You two should put your minds at ease. I am not a gigolo. My little money is nothing to me."
"Let's not talk about him for now. Now that you are separated, what are you going to do in the future?"
"He bought the house, and I bought the parking space. You can take your own. When we agreed to the divorce, these matters were already arranged. You don't have to worry about it."
"Okay then, take some time to pack your bags and come live with us. We have room anyway."
"I won't go with you. We just bought a house this morning, so I have a place to live."
"Ah? You bought a house so soon?" The old couple were surprised. "How much did you borrow? Are you under pressure?"
Xu Lin turned around and glanced at Lin Jiang who was talking to the installation master.
"I didn't spend any money on it. He bought it for me. Over 700 million yuan, in full."
"what???"
The old couple's tone suddenly became higher, "He bought you a house? He spent more than 700 million?"
"Well, the property certificate is still in my car. It's written in my own name. You can rest assured now, right?"
The old couple looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Looking at it this way, even if the two of them really have some abnormal relationship, it seems...it's pretty good.
"Girl, I want to ask you something..."
Wang Xiazhi came close to Xu Lin and asked in a low voice: "Did you two sleep together?"
"Mom, you are a teacher after all, and you teach Chinese, can you be more reserved in your words?"
"I'm not talking to an outsider, I'm talking to you. Why should I be so reserved? If everyone pretended to be a gentleman, they wouldn't have had children. Humanity would have been extinct long ago."
"We have a serious relationship, don't worry about it."
The relationship between Lin Jiang and I should only be known by the two of us, and there was no need to tell even our parents.
"Is there really no other relationship?"
"Not really."
"Oh, that's not good. I still hope you have that kind of relationship."
Xu Lin: ???
"Mom, do you want to listen to what you are saying?"
"What I said was wrong. I'm not a saint. I just hoped that you could find someone with better conditions so that you wouldn't have to work so hard in the future. But now, you've extinguished my hope just when it was a little bit."
"Don't even think about our relationship. I'm already this old and I have a child. Don't expect us to have a happy ending. Isn't that harmful?"
"Indeed, he is a single young man, and it is not appropriate for the two of you to be together." Wang Xiazhi sighed:
"I don't ask for anything else, as long as you feel happy."
"Don't worry, I'm very happy now, my career is good, and there are people to help me solve problems when I encounter difficulties. Why should I ask for so much?"
"Okay, if you can say that, I won't worry about it anymore."
Wang Xiazhi stood there and looked around again, "You two can continue chatting, I'll take Xuanxuan back first."
"I don't want to leave. I want to play with Uncle Lin for a while."
Zhao Wenxuan trotted over to Lin Jiang and said, "Uncle Lin, there's a figurine store nearby. The things they sell are all really good. Let's go take a look."
"Xuanxuan, don't be naughty. Your Uncle Lin has important business to attend to." Xu Lin said sternly.
Lin Jiang gave her a comforting look, leaned over to Zhao Wenxuan's ear and whispered a few words.
The latter's eyes lit up and his brows were filled with excitement.
"Mom, I'm going home with my grandma and grandpa first."
"After you go back..."
"Grandma and grandpa, let's go quickly and go back. I can't wait any longer."
Xu Lin: ???
What did Lin Jiang say to him?
The old couple was pulled away by Zhao Wenxuan, and Xu Lin looked at Lin Jiang.
"What did you say to him?"
"I said I would use his grandfather's phone to go to the figurine store downstairs and take a photo of his favorite figurine. I would give it to him tomorrow, and then I left happily. Unfortunately..."
"What's a pity?"
"It's a pity that this investment doesn't have as much return as the last Ultraman."
"goose……"
Xu Lin laughed so hard that her mouth couldn't close, and the white rabbits on her chest began to tremble.
"You are a little arrogant now. There is a saying that goes, there are no uncultivated fields, only cows that are exhausted to death. You'd better keep a low profile, otherwise I will laugh at you in the future."
Lin Jiang quietly pinched Xu Lin's buttocks and said, "I've been waiting for this day."
"Then be gentle, it's all off track." Saying that, Xu Lin walked towards the bathroom.
Lin Jiang took advantage of this opportunity to walk around every corner of the house.
Liang Shuhe was very obedient and prepared the bedroom for me in advance. In other words, if I didn't mind, I could stay here at night.
According to this progress, it will be completed in half a month at most.
Not long after, Xu Lin came out and the two left.
"By the way, the seasoning is ready. It's just on the way back, so you can pick everything up."
"also."
Xu Lin drove and the two came to her other store.
This is a store with an antique-style facade. It has two floors left and is much larger than the branch in Berkeley Mall.
The two came to the store. There weren't many people here, but judging from their clothes, they could tell that the conditions were not bad.
Xu Lin would even greet them, and it was obvious that they were all repeat customers.
When I got to the office, I patted the cardboard box on the desk and said, "It's all here."
Lin Jiang carried the cardboard box, Xu Lin picked up a black bag next to it, and they went downstairs together and returned to the car.
"This is yours too, remember to drink it every day."
Xu Lin handed the bag over. Lin Jiang looked at the contents, which were plastic bags and a black thermos cup.
"What is this?"
"It's for replenishing kidney qi. Just take one pack a day and soak it in water. It doesn't have a weird smell. You should be able to accept it."
"Don't you know my level yet? You don't need to make up for it."
"A hoe made of iron needs to be maintained, and you, a mortal, need to be even more careful."
Xu Lin tilted her head and looked at Lin Jiang mischievously, "Are you harder than iron?"
"I am a grown man, but you teased me. Today I will let you see what it means to be harder than iron and stronger than steel."
"No, no, no, I was wrong."
"No, that apology isn't sincere."
"After the relatives leave, I will apologize to you sincerely."
"That's pretty much it."
"Bad guy."
Carrying the things, Xu Lin drove the car back home and parked next to Lin Jiang's car.
"What are your plans for later?"
"There's nothing else to do for now, let's go back to the store."
"Okay, I'm leaving first."
"Ah."
Xu Lin went home, and Lin Jiang took the things to his car and prepared to return to the store.
As soon as I parked the car, I saw that the Sichuan restaurant in Berkeley was moving things out, even the plaque had been taken down.
Holding the phone, Lin Jiang called He Jing.
"Manager He, I see that Sichuan restaurant is moving things out. Can I start preparing for the renovation?"
"I was just about to call you to tell you about this. They're moving out today, so we can start decorating tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you Manager He."
After a brief chat, Lin Jiang hung up the phone and called Liang Shuhe.
"Little brother, what do you want me to do?"
After a few days of contact, Liang Shuhe has become accustomed to this kind of address.
"There's no one around you."
"Smart, I'm in the office, designing your noodle shop."
"That's what I was going to say. We can start work tomorrow."
"No problem, I'll arrange for someone to go there tomorrow."
"How fast can it be?"
"It will take at least half a month at the earliest. The most important thing is the kitchen renovation, which may take some time."
"Okay, then follow this standard. Anyway, the faster the better."
"Oh, I see."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Jiang thought about the follow-up matters. He decided to find time to hold a small meeting with Li Yuanyuan and Yang Tao to talk to them about the store expansion so that they could be mentally prepared.
Ring ring ring——
Before Lin Jiang could arrange the follow-up matters, the phone rang again. This time it was Jiang Xiaoqi calling.
"Brother Jiang, I have good news for you. I have been promoted to the head of the subject group!"
“This is a good thing and worth celebrating.”
Lin Jiang guessed that it must be Zhou Hejuan who made the effort.
"Yeah, my dad thought so too. He said he wants to treat you to a meal. Come on, Jiang. The place has been booked."
Lin Jiang felt that Jiang Xiaoqi's family was pretty good. They knew very well how she got her position and did not arrogantly think that it was the result of their daughter's hard work.
"It's not a big deal, I won't go."
"It's not a big deal for you, but it is for our family."
Jiang Xiaoqi hummed and said:
"Brother Jiang, just come on, and I have something else to tell you."
"what's up?"
"I'm a little embarrassed to say it."
"What's there to be embarrassed about? Just say it openly."
"The things you bought for me have arrived. Do you want to take a look?"
"Arrived so soon?"
"I saw it says it's all intra-city express delivery, it must be fast. Brother Jiang, you're so mean, buying so much..."
"Just to satisfy my curiosity."
"Then do you want to come?"
"Of course!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Jiang moved around for a while.
