Xu Guofeng's Worries!

Xu Mengyao asked, "Dad, who did you have investigate him?"

Xu Guofeng said, "Little He, my former bodyguard. Lin Chen came from an ordinary family, had average grades, and while he looked decent enough, his clothes and style were very ordinary."

"Little He went to their village, visited the high school he attended, and even asked his former homeroom teacher."

"There shouldn't have been any omissions."

"Why are you suddenly asking about this?"

Xu Guofeng's heart tightened.

Don't tell me my daughter has fallen for Lin Chen?

"Dad, he doesn't seem that ordinary. His Cooking Skill is excellent, and he speaks several foreign languages."

Xu Mengyao said.

Xu Guofeng said in surprise, "He speaks several foreign languages? I have his College Entrance Examination scores. His English grade was just average."

"He barely passed Level Four."

Xu Mengyao said, "His English is better than mine. His Russian, German, and French are also excellent."

Xu Guofeng could hardly believe it.

Even if he was lacking in other areas, such strong Language Talent was impressive enough.

Why had he acted so ordinary before?

It would have been one thing at other times, but he had hidden it even during the College Entrance Examination?

"Mengyao, are you sure?"

"Of course. I've spoken English with him, and right in front of me, he also spoke Russian with someone else."

Xu Guofeng asked, "Did you fall for him because of that?"

"Dad, of course not."

"Dad, I have something else to deal with. I'll talk to you later."

Xu Mengyao hung up.

Xu Guofeng was puzzled. Could a person really change so much?

He entered the hospital room.

"Honey, what did our daughter want?"

Xu Mengyao's mother, Yang Qingyue, had woken up and asked.

Xu Guofeng sat by the bed. "Honey, Mengyao called and said Lin Chen doesn't seem to be that ordinary."

"She said he speaks several foreign languages."

"She also said he's very good at cooking."

Yang Qingyue was very surprised. "Did our daughter really say that?"

"Mm."

Xu Guofeng nodded.

"Then she must have developed some feelings for Lin Chen. She may already be quite curious about him."

Yang Qingyue said.

Xu Guofeng frowned. Yang Qingyue said, "Honey, don't call her and say anything. Let our daughter make her own choice. Isn't she smarter than you?"

Xu Guofeng said, "..."

"Even if he speaks several foreign languages, he's still not worthy of Mengyao."

Yang Qingyue rolled her eyes. "When it comes to love, what does worthy or unworthy even mean? It depends on whether they're meant to be."

"After that incident, our daughter was left with Psychological Trauma. She froze herself off from the world. If Lin Chen can help her come out of it, that wouldn't be a bad thing."

Xu Guofeng looked at Yang Qingyue in surprise.

"Honey, you didn't think this way before. Didn't you used to hope Mengyao would find someone from a family on equal footing with ours?"

"Preferably someone with even better conditions."

Yang Qingyue said, "After lying on an operating table and taking a trip through the Gates of Hell, I realized many things weren't as important as I thought."

"As long as our daughter likes him, we shouldn't interfere too much."

Xu Guofeng frowned. "But—"

Yang Qingyue said, "No buts. Help This Empress up."

Xu Guofeng hurriedly helped Yang Qingyue sit up.

"Honey, even if Lin Chen is ordinary, as long as our daughter likes him, our money is enough for them to spend for ten lifetimes."

Xu Guofeng sighed softly. "Honey, you don't understand."

Yang Qingyue rolled her eyes. "How do I not understand?"

Xu Guofeng frowned. "If our family only had thirty or fifty million, it wouldn't be much of a problem. We could live well without anyone coming after us."

"But now we have thirty billion."

"To the big sharks, we're a juicy piece of meat."

Yang Qingyue asked doubtfully, "We've come this far, but it doesn't seem like we've run into any major trouble."

Xu Guofeng said, "That's because I had a good father-in-law. But your father has been gone for two years now. We've nearly used up all the goodwill and Connections he left behind."

"Our path will inevitably become much rougher in the future."

Yang Qingyue said, "Haven't we maintained our Connections?"

Xu Guofeng shook his head. "It's different. Our family may have money, but we no longer belong to that circle."

"At most, in two or three years, someone will definitely target us."

Yang Qingyue said, "Even so, we can't sacrifice our daughter's happiness."

Xu Guofeng said, "I was hoping Mengyao could find someone she loved who was also from a family equal to ours. That way, everyone wins."

At that, Xu Guofeng let out a sigh.

If only that incident had never happened.

Xu Mengyao was unmarried and already had a child. That would inevitably make some of the more influential second- and third-generation heirs hesitate.

"Honey, don't overthink it."

"Even if we lose most of our wealth, having three or five hundred million would still be enough for our family to live comfortably."

Yang Qingyue comforted him.

Xu Guofeng nodded slightly.

"Don't think too much for now. Focus on recovering. There shouldn't be any problems in the next year or two."

"Done."

A faint smile appeared on Lin Chen's face.

He checked everything carefully and made sure there were no issues.

"Xu Mengyao, the translation is finished."

Lin Chen sent the translated document to Xu Mengyao.

Xu Mengyao checked the time.

She was astonished.

Lin Chen had taken only twenty-seven minutes in total.

"Thank you."

"Counting last time, would twenty thousand be okay as translation fees?"

Xu Mengyao replied.

Lin Chen said, "..."

"We have a child together, and we got married. We're friends now, right? There's no need to pay for such a small favor between friends."

"If you insist on paying, don't come to me again. I can't be bothered earning this money. I need to take care of the child, so I don't have time for this."

Lin Chen quickly replied.

Xu Mengyao was silent for a while before replying, "Thank you."

Five Minutes later, Xu Mengyao's assistant said, "President Xu, the company's German translator said the document is fine. He said the other person's level is far higher than his."

"Mm."

Xu Mengyao nodded slightly.

She was amazed.

They were a major company, and their in-house translators were quite capable, yet they were so far below Lin Chen.

His English, Russian, and German are all this strong. His French probably isn't much worse than those three either.

Xu Mengyao thought to herself.

On Lin Chen's side.

"Daddy, there are so many boxes!"

Lin Chen brought Lin Xiaoqian to the storefront he had rented.

Two thousand copies of the books had already been delivered.

There were one hundred books per case, making a total of twenty large Cardboard Boxes on the floor.

Lin Chen smiled. "Xiaoqian, do you want to play for a while first, or go to sleep?"

Lin Chen had set up a small bed inside the storefront. When Lin Xiaoqian was here, he could work late into the night.

"I don't want to sleep yet. I want to draw."

Lin Xiaoqian said in her sweet little voice.

Lin Chen smiled. "All right, draw for a while first."

Half an Hour later, Lin Xiaoqian became sleepy.

Lin Chen carried her to the bed, and she soon fell asleep sweetly.

"Swish, swish!"

Lin Chen rapidly signed copy after copy of the new books.

His signature looked much the same as before, yet on closer inspection, it seemed to possess a different kind of charm.

Ordinary people couldn't put that charm into words.

They simply felt that it was more pleasing to look at and more captivating.

But if an accomplished calligrapher saw it, they would discover that his calligraphy had already reached an entirely different realm from before.

Lin Chen's calligraphy had originally been at the master level. Now, it was Grandmaster level.

It had already reached the world's top standard!
