Chapter 79 Love Revealed
Lin Xiuyuan was stunned. He didn't expect his daughter to suddenly ask such a question. He felt a little embarrassed, but he still answered positively, "Xixi, Dad is 50 years old this year, not 5 years old!"
Seeing Lin Yuxi's disappointed expression, Lin Xiuyuan quickly added, "So, of course, I don't have a wife!"
When these words were spoken, everyone around was almost shocked. Mr. Lin, would you like to listen to what you have to say?
"Dad married his wife through an arranged marriage. They treated each other with respect for several years. Later, Dad was diagnosed with a low fertility rate and it would be difficult for him to have children in this lifetime, so he simply let her go!"
Thinking about how happy she is now with her children and grandchildren around her, Lin Xiuyuan doesn't feel there is anything to regret. Such a good girl deserves better.
Lin Xiuyuan pulled back his wandering thoughts, looked at his daughter in front of him, and smiled lovingly, "So Xixi, Daddy only has you as his little cotton-padded jacket in this life, so don't worry about someone snatching Daddy's things from you!"
Although the words were said humorously, Lin Yuxi felt a sudden pang in her heart. She had not expected that Lin Xiuyuan, who controlled such a large group, would be so soft-hearted.
She looked up at Lin Xiuyuan, the eyes that once seemed strange and distant to her were now full of love and warmth. She suddenly realized that no matter how much wealth and status Lin Xiuyuan had, he was always an ordinary person who longed for family affection and warmth.
"Dad..." Lin Yuxi called softly, her eyes moist, "You...you are better than I thought."
Lin Xiuyuan's nose was also sore when he heard this, and countless feelings surged into his heart. In the end, he still restrained the tears in his eyes, reached out his hand, gently stroked his daughter's hair, and said after a long time,
"Xixi, you too, you are even better than Dad imagined. Dad is very pleased and satisfied to have a daughter like you in this life. It's worth it, really worth it!"
……
After the father and daughter talked about their feelings, Lin Xiuyuan and Lin Yuxi went to the hospital to visit Lin's mother who was still recuperating. Lin Xiuyuan solemnly expressed his gratitude and apologized for what happened that year. Then he sincerely invited Lin's mother to take Lin Yuxi to live in Haicheng.
The medical equipment and various services there are far more advanced than this place. Seeing Lin Yuxi's expectations, Lin's mother agreed with a smile.
Lin's mother saw that Lin Yuxi was trying to bring the two of them together, so she quickly put an end to it.
What a joke, you are so old, and you still talk about this?
Besides, the Lin family is not an ordinary family. Her limited knowledge is not suitable for her to show off her skills in front of experts!
It would be better for her to stay like this. She takes the compensation given by others, has money and free time, and no one dares to say anything about her. There are people backing her up. It can be said that except for the title of Mrs. Lin, she has obtained all the benefits she deserves, and she has no worries. It couldn't be better!
……
After finishing these trivial matters, Lin Xiuyuan turned his attention to the boy from the Shen family who had been following him?
"Xixi, you and the second kid from the Shen family are...?"
"Dad, let me introduce you formally. This is my boyfriend, Shen Minghui." Seeing that Lin Xiuyuan finally brought up the subject, Lin Yuxi quickly stepped forward to formally introduce them to the others. After that, she pulled Shen Minghui over and said, "Come here, Minghui, this is our dad, call him!"
"Dad!" Shen Minghui was not stupid. He quickly decided on the name before Lin Xiuyuan could react and called him "Dad" without any hesitation.
Lin Xiuyuan was slightly stunned. He didn't expect the two to play by their own rules. He looked at the boy from the Shen family who was standing in front of him, looking a little nervous but trying to maintain his composure. A complex emotion surged in his heart.
He waved his hand to let them sit down, and then said calmly, "We don't need to worry about the name. Xixi, tell daddy how you got to know the kid from the Shen family? How much do you know about him?"
Lin Xiuyuan was not without anger at the fact that this boy had easily kidnapped his daughter, but he still understood what it meant to know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.
How did two people with such a huge difference in status and identity get to know each other?
You said you were in a relationship, but how long had it been going on? To what extent?
What's more important is what is the attitude of this Shen family kid towards his daughter? Does the Shen family know? What do they think?
How can it be so easy to make him acknowledge the title of "Dad" without knowing anything clearly?
Do you really think that Lin Xiuyuan is a vegetarian?
Shen Minghui kept smiling and let his cheap father-in-law scan him over and over again. This damn familiar feeling!
Lin Yuxi felt quite embarrassed when she heard Lin Xiuyuan asking how they met. Could she say that they met online and this was the first time they met in person?
If that were true, my cheap dad would be furious!
But she couldn't help but say so, so she could only process it artistically. Although her cheap dad came too fast this time, giving her a big surprise, the speed also caught her off guard.
"We met in an online communication group. That group is full of people who are interested in a certain culture. We often discussed and communicated in it. We felt that we had a lot in common, so we added each other's contact information and that's how we got to know each other."
What Lin Yuxi said was indeed true. The original body was young in his early years and wanted to help his mother share the burden, but he had to go to school and couldn't find a good part-time job. Later, he heard that being a game leveling agent could make a lot of money, so he plunged into it.
But she knew nothing and could only be abused badly. Later, when she was scolded to the point of almost crying, it was Shen Minghui who rescued her.
Later, he took her to practice privately again and again, and the original person gradually figured out the routine and earned the first money on the Internet.
"Netizens?" Lin Xiuyuan was very good at extracting the key points and pointed out the crux of the matter directly. Seeing his daughter nodding awkwardly, he couldn't help but frown.
Although he knew his daughter liked the boy from the Shen family when they first met, Lin Xiuyuan, as an old father, was still unwilling to give in and cautiously tested her.
"Xixi, Dad is old and can't understand the thoughts of you young people today, but this netizen... isn't he a little too unreliable? Also... you haven't met each other many times, are you so hasty to establish a relationship? How about we observe him a little more?"
"Dad," Lin Yuxi heard the subtext of Lin Xiuyuan's words and laughed, "Am I such an unreliable person? There are so many true and false things in the online world, how can I be a person who can meet people?"
Lin Yuxi saw Lin Xiuyuan relax, and then smiled at Shen Minghui, "Although Minghui and I met online, we have chatted for a long time and know each other very well. Moreover, he is also a very good person, and I believe in my own judgment."
Seeing this, Shen Minghui also took the opportunity to express his opinion: "Dad, our two families are old friends. Let's not talk about the relationship between you and my dad. After all, you watched me grow up, right? If you don't even trust me, what kind of family can you find for Xixi?"
You can't let Xixi stay single for the rest of her life, right?"
"What about your family...?"
"Don't worry, I will take care of my family and won't let you and Xixi worry at all!"
(Should I just agree to this? I feel like it’s too good of a deal for him.)
