Chapter 58

Edited by Erin

Lin Yanchen sat in Chu Xun’s home, on the left side of the dining table, next to Chu Xun, and faced his father-in-law.

Half a day ago, he wasn’t even afraid of those old big shots, but now both his legs were trembling.

Lin Yanchen thought: Should he really find a fortune teller? It seems that these two days have been very unlucky? Or was it too lucky that his wife and children had come back last week, and because of the law of conservation of luck, now he was going to be unlucky?

Teacher Chu stared at him fixedly with sharp eyes. It was joked that he had practiced this stare for more than 20 years. He had trained this look every day on his students. His former rebellious students would turn as obedient as little lambs when he looked at them with this glare.

He looked up and down at Lin Yanchen: first of all, his face was pretty good, quite handsome, but the dark circles under his eyes were a little heavy. He looked rather young, about 25 years old. Although his clothes looked rather expensive, they were a little faded and he didn’t seem very tidy…

At two thirty, early in the morning, the whole family was sitting in the living room.

It was like he was interrogating a criminal. The atmosphere was heavy and serious.

Teacher Chu asked him, “You should have come in the day Why did you come in the middle of the night? You were even mistaken as a thief by someone. ”

Lin Yanchen said trembling: “When my last minute work obligation was complete, I rushed back and as soon as the plane landed I came here. I… I was thinking about Ah Xun.”

Teacher Chu nitpicked: “You’ve even started calling him Ah Xun? Did you come up with it?”

Lin Yanchen: “…”

Chu Xun clicked his tongue: “Don’t go too far, Teacher Chu. You are so nitpicky. I’ll buy you a fish to nitpick tomorrow. You can have a good time with that.”

Teacher Chu: “…”

“How old are you this year?” Teacher Chu asked angrily.

Lin Yanchen sat extremely straight and upright: “Twenty six years old.”

“What’s your occupation?” Teacher Chu asked again.

Lin Yanchen: “I work in commercial trade, it involves many industries, it can be considered as investment.”

He took out his business card box, took out a card, and handed it to his father-in-law with both hands: “Please take a look.”

Teacher Chu looked at the white and gold gilded business card. On it was written the position of vice president of something, it sounded very powerful. He asked, “You are a vice president? So young and you have already become vice president?”

Lin Yanchen suddenly felt a little flushed. His position as vice president was still mainly due to his father.

Teacher Chu asked again, “The address of your company is in City B. It’s very far away from here. If you want to be together, do you want Chu Xun and Jiu Jiu to go over with you?”

Teacher Chu probably understood how he had become a vice president at such a young age: he was a rich second generation. Before when Jun Jun worked in that company, wasn’t his boss also a rich second generation? Once he graduated, his father just stuffed him into the position of a vice president in the company, he was likely just like that person.

Thinking about it, their Jun Jun also used to be the vice president of a small company. This was the way of the social circle. The level of people he knew would not be too low. He guessed that was how they met.

Teacher Chu nodded, good enough. Their families could still be considered well-matched in terms of social status.

Teacher Chu had never bought luxury goods. He knew nothing about it. If he knew what brand Lin Yanchen’s clothes, watch and shoes were, he probably wouldn’t think Lin Yanchen was just a small rich second generation.

Chu Xun saw that Lin Yanchen was still very flustered.

Under the table, he held Lin Yanchen’s hand, and the two intertwined their fingers.

Teacher Chu finally asked, “Do you like Chu Xun very much? If you like him, why didn’t you come find him before?”

When Lin Yanchen thought of the day he thought Chu Xun had died, he couldn’t help but tear up.

Chu Xun first defended him: “Didn’t I tell you? I thought I was going to die, so I left. And before that I destroyed all the contact information, so he couldn’t find me.”

Lin Yanchen said: “It’s my fault. I didn’t look thoroughly enough for him…Uncle, I called you before. Do you remember? I asked you where Chu Xun was hospitalized…”

…Teacher Chu was stunned.

Chu Xun was also stunned. He had utterly no idea that this had happened.

Chu Xun looked at his father.

Teacher Chu frowned, thought for a while, then slowly recalled, aiyo, it seemed that there really was such a thing…

Chu Xun: “Dad?”

Teacher Chu: “D-didn’t you tell me not to let your friends know at all costs? That’s how I answered everyone who came asking.”

Chu Xun: “…”

Lin Yanchen did not hesitate to support his father-in-law. “Yes, we can’t blame you. You also did that for the sake of Ah Xun. It’s my fault. I should have investigated more.”

Teacher Chu took a breath of relief and looked at Lin Yanchen. This boy seemed to understand some things.

Good, good.

The atmosphere became awkward in a moment.

What was even more embarrassing was that Lin Yanchen’s stomach rumbled. He didn’t feel hungry before because he was so anxious. In fact, his stomach had been grumbling with hunger for a while now.

Gulu gulu.

Teacher Chu asked, “You haven’t eaten ah?”

Lin Yanchen’s entire face was red. He really had lost enough face for several years and he nodded, ashamed.

Teacher Chu said, “Today, I’m cooking with some leftovers. I’ll make you a bowl of fried rice. We don’t have anything else, if you don’t like that then you can just let it be.”

Lin Yanchen was stunned. He quickly thanked him: “Thank you, thank you!”

“I just can’t watch other people stay hungry. Don’t think too much about it,” Teacher Chu replied awkwardly.

Lin Yanchen said politely, “Let me give you a hand.”

Teacher Chu answered, “What help do I need with fried rice? Aren’t you tired from rushing back from work? Rest.”

Teacher Chu went to open the refrigerator to get the ingredients for cooking.

Lin Yanchen, with no way to advance or retreat, cried to Chu Xun for help: “Do I really not need to go into the kitchen to help?”

Chu Xun whispered to Lin Yanchen, “It’s nothing. My father just has this kind of bad temperament. Don’t worry. His fried rice is very delicious, even better than mine. He doesn’t dislike you.”

“I told you before that he wasn’t a bad guy, right? He just has a contrary disposition.”

Teacher Chu quickly made fried rice with beef for Lin Yanchen.

He also made a bowl of seaweed soup.

Although it couldn’t be compared with that big table full of sumptuous dishes, Lin Yanchen wolfed everything down. He truly was hungry, praising: “Uncle, the food you made is so good, even better than professional chefs.”

Teacher Chu was flattered until he felt very at ease, but he didn’t want to reveal that and let Lin Yanchen know. His expression was slightly distorted: “Just okay. Only casually stir fried it.”

Lin Yanchen finished eating.

Chu Xun said, “Dad, he is very tired. Let him sleep. He hasn’t slept since Saturday. ”

Lin Yanchen said in a quiet voice, “I got to rest my eyes for a little while on the return flight.”

It was because he fell dead asleep on the plane that he forgot he wanted to take a bath.

Teacher Chu said, “Oh, then go wash and sleep.”

After a while.

Chu Xun’s mother took a new quilt, new slippers and a new toothbrush and said, “Your father told me not to tell you that he asked me to take these to you.”

Chu Xun: “Hahahahaha.”

Hearing the laughter, Teacher Chu rushed to the door and asked, “Are you making fun of me?”

Lin Yanchen: “No, no no.” He didn’t dare to laugh.

Lin Yanchen could finally sleep, and in the same room as Chu Xun.

Chu Xun asked him, “Are you going to work tomorrow morning? Shall I wake you up?”

Lin Yanchen: “I’m not in a hurry now. I’ll go back tomorrow afternoon.”

He was too tired; he took a quick bath, washed his face and brushed his teeth, and came back to lie in the blankets. The moment his head hit the pillow, it was as if he fell into a coma. Two formidable problems had roughly been solved, he could finally have a rest.

Lin Yanchen slept too heavily. In the morning, Chu Xun got up and went to work without him knowing.

Before Chu Xun left, he told his parents that Lin Yanchen was very tired. He asked them not to disturb Lin Yanchen’s sleep. At noon, they should call him to get up to eat.

Teacher Chu and his wife talked about Lin Yanchen.

Chu Xun’s mother said, “Isn’t he a pretty good youngster?”

Teacher Chu said, “It seems so.”

Then he said: “I’ll go shopping in a while.” A plate of fried rice truly couldn’t embody his ability. He would wait for Lin Yanchen to get up and then expand his horizons.

In fact, he more or less had accepted Lin Yanchen. Whether or not he was sincere, he could tell. Lin Yanchen was not a bad person.

At this time, he opened the newspaper that was delivered this morning with a “pa”, and at a glance he saw a huge picture on the front page of the newspaper, which read: XX and XXX company negotiated a 10 billion dollar transnational cooperation project.

Wait a minute?

Teacher Chu blinked his eyes and looked again.

Why did he feel like…the young man in the picture looked a lot like Lin Yanchen?
