"I'm not short on money. Isn't Dad home?"
Lin Chen asked.
Chen Mei said, "Your dad went In the Field. Son, if you're short on money, don't try to tough it out. Your dad and I still have some savings."
"Mom, when Dad gets back, video call me again. I have something important to report to you two leaders."
Lin Chen said with a smile.
Chen Mei's eyes lit up. "Son, did you get a girlfriend?"
"I'll tell you later."
"Bye bye."
Lin Chen hung up.
They were in the supermarket right now, with people constantly coming and going, so it wasn't convenient.
Lin Xiaoqian looked at Lin Chen. "Daddy, was that Grandma?"
"How did you know?"
Lin Chen asked with a smile.
Lin Xiaoqian said proudly, "The Bumper Car told me! Daddy's mommy is called Grandma. Daddy, I want to ride the Bumper Car."
"Okay, we'll go ride the Bumper Car in a bit."
Lin Chen said with a smile as he rubbed Lin Xiaoqian's Little Head.
Lin Chen's Hometown.
Chen Mei couldn't help calling Lin Chen's father. "Honey, our son is being all mysterious. He might have found a girlfriend."
"Really?"
Lin Chen's father, Lin Hai, brightened up.
Chen Mei said, "Our son said that once you're back, he has something to report to us two leaders. He probably found a girlfriend."
"Oh, and there's something else."
"Our son was laid off by his company last month. I think he's short on money."
In the Field, Lin Hai wiped away his sweat. "I still have some money on my card. Let's pool what we have and transfer him ten thousand later."
"If it isn't enough, we'll withdraw some from the Fixed Deposit."
Chen Mei reminded him, "Come back early and take a shower. Wear something nicer when the time comes. Maybe our son's girlfriend is beside him. We can't make our son lose face."
"Okay."
Lin Hai hurried to finish the rest of his work.
Lin Chen and Lin Xiaoqian arrived home.
"Xiaoqian, if you see Grandpa and Grandma, you have to greet them, understand?"
Lin Chen said with a smile.
He had already shown Lin Xiaoqian photos of his parents.
"Mhm."
Lin Xiaoqian nodded, then asked worriedly, "Daddy, what if Grandpa and Grandma don't like me?"
"How could that be?"
"Xiaoqian is so adorable. Grandpa and Grandma will definitely like you."
Lin Chen said as he held Lin Xiaoqian and kissed her twice.
Half an Hour passed.
"Ding—"
A WeChat notification sounded on Lin Chen's phone.
He opened WeChat and saw that his father had actually transferred ten thousand yuan to him.
Lin Chen started a video call with his father.
The call connected quickly. Lin Chen saw his parents, both dressed in the new clothes they normally only wore when they Visit Relatives.
"Dad, Mom."
"Why did you transfer money to me? I have money."
Lin Chen said.
Chen Mei spoke up. "Son, did you find a girlfriend? Having a girlfriend means spending more money, so your dad and I are giving you a little support."
Lin Chen smiled. "Dad, Mom, I have a surprise for you."
As he spoke, he beckoned to Lin Xiaoqian.
Lin Xiaoqian came over to Lin Chen's side.
"Grandpa, Grandma."
Lin Xiaoqian called out sweetly toward the camera.
Lin Chen's Parents: "..."
They froze.
What was going on?
Wasn't it supposed to be a girlfriend? Why was there a cute little child instead?
And this cute little child was calling them Grandpa and Grandma.
"Daddy, Grandpa and Grandma didn't answer."
"Do they not like Qian Qian?"
Lin Xiaoqian looked at Lin Chen and asked nervously.
"Be good, sweetheart. We like you. Son, what's going on?"
Lin Hai hurriedly asked.
Lin Chen gave a light cough. "Her name is Lin Xiaoqian. Three years ago, there was an accident, and Xiaoqian's mother became pregnant with her. A week ago, Xiaoqian's mother brought her to find me."
"She's your biological granddaughter."
Lin Hai and Chen Mei were overjoyed.
They had suddenly gained such an adorable granddaughter.
"Qian Qian, Grandma was bad just now. Grandma didn't answer you right away. When Grandma comes over, I'll buy you something delicious."
Chen Mei coaxed her.
Lin Hai also hurriedly said, "Grandpa will buy you something too."
Lin Xiaoqian said sweetly, "Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma. Grandpa and Grandma, are you coming to see Qian Qian?"
"Mhm, we're coming tomorrow!"
Chen Mei said. They wished they could set off right away.
Lin Chen smiled. "Qian Qian, go draw. Daddy needs to talk to Grandpa and Grandma. I'll come keep you company later."
"Goodbye, Grandpa and Grandma."
Lin Xiaoqian skipped off to the balcony to draw.
Lin Hai asked, "Son, have you and Xiaoqian's mother gotten married?"
Lin Chen shook his head. "Xiaoqian's mother is Xu Mengyao. Our situation is a little special. Back then, we only knew each other; we weren't close. Under special circumstances, we had a relationship."
"Later, she went abroad."
"I didn't even know she had given birth to the child."
Chen Mei said, "If Mengyao doesn't have anyone else, then hurry up and Get Married. We'll give as much Betrothal Gift as we can."
"It hasn't been easy for her to raise a child alone."
Lin Chen said, "Mom, it's not that simple. Xu Mengyao doesn't have anyone else, but I looked it up Online. Conservatively speaking, her family's assets exceed Ten Billion."
Lin Hai and Chen Mei were dumbfounded.
Ten Billion?
That amount of money was astronomical to them.
"Xiaoqian is starting to understand things. She wants her daddy, and Xu Mengyao has been busy lately, so she sent Xiaoqian over."
"But now, I'm me, and she's her."
Lin Chen said.
Lin Hai and Chen Mei nodded. They understood the situation.
Chen Mei said, "It's normal for someone to have assets worth Tens of Billions. Your dad and I know exactly what you're capable of."
"We're coming tomorrow."
Lin Chen said, "Mom, send me your Identity Card Numbers. I'll buy your plane tickets. Once you get to the airport, if there's anything you don't understand, ask the airport staff."
"Don't worry."
Chen Mei soon sent over their Identity Card Numbers.
Lin Chen bought their plane tickets.
"Honey, what will happen with our son in the future? He and Mengyao probably aren't possible. Will he still get married later?"
Chen Mei asked.
Lin Hai frowned slightly. That was indeed a problem.
The Xu Family had assets worth Tens of Billions. The chances of their son marrying Xu Mengyao were low, and if he found someone else, Lin Chen already had a daughter.
"We'll talk about it later."
Lin Hai sighed softly.
Early the next morning, Lin Hai and the others got into an unlicensed car headed for the Provincial Capital. Two or three hours later, they arrived at the airport.
There were still Two Hours before their flight took off.
After lunch.
"Xiaoqian, let's go pick up Grandpa and Grandma."
Lin Chen carried Lin Xiaoqian out the door.
Lin Xiaoqian needed a nap at noon, so she could sleep in the car.
"Grandpa! Grandma!"
A little after two in the afternoon, Lin Chen and Lin Xiaoqian picked them up.
"Qian Qian, let Grandma hold you."
Chen Mei carefully took Lin Xiaoqian into her arms.
"Grandma, kiss."
Lin Xiaoqian kissed Chen Mei on the cheek.
Chen Mei immediately beamed from ear to ear, while Lin Hai beside her looked terribly envious.
"Dad, Mom, Xiaoqian appeared so suddenly that I was a little confused too, so I didn't tell you right away."
Lin Chen said.
Lin Hai nodded. "It's okay. We know that if we'd rushed over excitedly, we might have scared Qian Qian. It's better that we came after Qian Qian got familiar with you."
"Mhm."
Lin Chen brought Lin Hai and the others to the Parking Lot.
Seeing that Lin Chen had driven a car, Lin Hai and the others weren't too surprised. They assumed the car belonged to Xu Mengyao.
"Son, is your Driving Skill good enough?"
"It wouldn't matter if you bumped or scraped us, but nothing can happen to Qian Qian."
Chen Mei asked.
In such a short time, Lin Xiaoqian had completely won Chen Mei and the others over.
"Mom, don't worry. They call me the Akina Mountain Racing God."
Lin Chen said with a grin.
