Zhao Tianyou walked away in silence.
He could only hold back his frustration at Xu Mengyao's remarks.
"Mengyao, you need to be careful of the Zhao Family in the future. Although Vice President Zhao was your father's partner back then, people change. I think the Zhao Family's ambitions have grown."
Lin Chen said softly.
Xu Mengyao nodded. "I've spoken to Dad about it, but he's quite sentimental. Also, the Zhao Family holds thirteen percent of the shares; it's not so easy to get rid of them."
"Besides, driving away the jackal might just bring in the tiger or leopard."
Lin Chen chuckled.
"Mengyao, you don't need to worry too much. Even if you run out of money, it won't be a problem for your husband to support you."
Xu Mengyao rolled her beautiful eyes at Lin Chen.
"It's about to start, you should go over there quickly.
"Don't be polite to Zhao Tianyou."
Lin Chen entered the basketball court. Xu Dong and the others greeted Lin Chen one after another, all of them brimming with confidence.
Zhao Tianyou's team was quite strong, but Xu Dong and the others now had immense confidence in Lin Chen.
"Xu Dong, take your shots when you get the chance. Don't be afraid of missing. I'll grab the rebounds and follow up if you do."
Lin Chen smiled slightly.
"Alright, Brother Lin."
"With you here, Brother Lin, we're sure to win, haha."
Xu Dong and the others said with smiles.
Damn it, don't think you can win easily. Even if you're good, basketball is a team sport.
Zhao Tianyou cursed inwardly.
He was extremely displeased with Lin Chen right now.
"Everyone, get your spirits up."
"The next game will definitely be tough. If we win, I'll give everyone a ten thousand yuan bonus."
Zhao Tianyou used money to motivate his teammates, saying,
"We'll do our best, Zhao-ge."
"Even though Lin-ge is the president's husband, we won't go easy on him on the court."
Zhao Tianyou's teammates chimed in one after another.
Ten thousand yuan wasn't much to Zhao Tianyou, but it was a considerable sum for ordinary workers.
"Beep beep!"
The game began.
"Go, Daddy, go!"
Lin Xiaoxi shouted loudly at Lin Chen from the sidelines.
Lin Chen leaped. He was shorter than the other player, but he jumped higher, easily snatching the ball for his team.
"Attack!"
Lin Chen shouted.
Xu Dong and the others immediately charged towards Zhao Tianyou's half of the court.
Outside the three-point line, one of Lin Chen's teammates shot the ball directly.
As expected, it didn't go in.
The basketball bounced high off the rim.
Before the basketball could fall, Lin Chen leaped into the air.
He intercepted the rebounding ball mid-air, then slammed it down with a powerful dunk.
"Holy shit!"
Zhao Tianyou's expression changed.
He had been guarding Lin Chen just now.
Yet, Lin Chen had just executed a slam dunk right over his head.
"Too strong!"
"Go, Brother Lin!"
The crowd on the sidelines erupted in cheers.
Lin Chen's dunk had ignited everyone's passion.
"Mom, cheer for Dad too."
Lin Xiaoxi said, "That way, Dad will be even more amazing."
"Honey, go for it!"
Xu Mengyao called out.
Her voice wasn't very loud; those nearby could hear her, but those further away probably couldn't.
But Lin Chen wasn't an ordinary person.
His physique was now much stronger than that of an ordinary person. Lin Chen's hearing was also a bit better than the average person's.
Hearing Xu Mengyao's voice, Lin Chen looked at her.
Xu Mengyao's face immediately turned red.
"Thump!" "Thump!"
In this game, Lin Chen basically didn't attempt three-pointers. He let Xu Dong and the others shoot, and then he would go for the rebound. His slam dunks were making Zhao Tianyou's head buzz.
Zhao Tianyou tried to defend him, but it was like he wasn't even there.
"Beep beep!"
The first half ended, and Zhao Tianyou was as exhausted as a dog.
His expression was ugly.
After seeing the score, his expression became even uglier.
The first half: thirty-six to twenty-three.
They were thirteen points behind. And of their twenty-three points in the first half, he only scored two. When Lin Chen was guarding him, he was basically locked down, with no opportunities at all.
"How many points did Lin Chen score in the first half?"
Zhao Tianyou asked one of his underlings.
"Twenty."
"Every single one was a slam dunk."
Zhao Tianyou glared at his underling.
He was just asking how many points Lin Chen had gotten. How Lin Chen got them? Didn't he know? They were all deducted from him!
"Daddy, drink water."
Lin Xiaoxi handed Lin Chen a bottle of water.
Lin Chen reached out and took it. Xu Mengyao was stunned. She had just drunk from that bottle, but she couldn't stop Lin Chen.
There were other people around.
So what if a couple shared a bottle of water?
"Forget it, Lin Chen and I even have a child. It's just sharing a drink."
Xu Mengyao silently comforted herself.
She couldn't accept drinking water that others had drunk, but she could barely accept it from Lin Chen.
"Lin Chen, wipe your sweat."
After Lin Chen finished drinking, Xu Mengyao handed him a towel.
"Thanks, wife."
Lin Chen said with a hearty laugh.
Xu Mengyao: "..."
She rolled her eyes inwardly, knowing he was just taking advantage.
Lin Chen wiped the sweat from his head and neck, then lifted his shirt to wipe the sweat from his torso as well.
"Wow, Lin-ge, you've got a six-pack!"
"Lin-ge, how did you get in such good shape?"
Xu Dong and the others exclaimed in amazement.
Xu Mengyao's eyes also widened in surprise. Lin Chen not only had muscles on his arms, but his abs were also well-defined.
This guy looks thin in clothes, but he's actually in such great shape.
Xu Mengyao thought to herself.
She didn't remember that night from three years ago, and she had no impression of what kind of shape Lin Chen was in back then.
"Beep——"
Fifteen minutes went by quickly.
The second half began.
Zhao Tianyou desperately wanted to score, desperately wanted to stop Lin Chen, but it was useless; the difference in skill was too great.
Lin Chen just picked up the balls the other players missed. He scored another ten, racking up forty points all by himself.
The final score was seventy to forty-three.

Zhao Tianyou and his team lost by a large margin.
"Damn it!"
Looking at the scoreboard, Zhao Tianyou just wanted to die.
Lin Chen had dunked on him about twenty times.
His head was buzzing.
His legs felt like they were filled with lead.
For the sake of his pride, he stubbornly stayed in the game. Lin Chen played the whole game, and he played the whole game too.
But what kind of physique did Lin Chen have, and what kind of physique did he have?
"Daddy, you're so amazing."
"I want to be as amazing as Daddy."
Lin Chen walked over, and Lin Xiaoxi said happily.
Xu Mengyao said, "Lin Chen, go take a shower. You must be tired from playing two games. Let's not cook at home tonight; we'll go out to eat later."
"Alright."
Lin Chen said with a smile.
"Xiaoxi, do you have any objections?"
Lin Xiaoxi shook her head and said in a milky voice, "Daddy, I want to eat the food you make, but Daddy, you're tired."
"Can't tire out my daddy."
Lin Chen looked at Lin Xiaoxi with doting eyes. Although Lin Xiaoxi was young, sometimes the things she said were very heartwarming.
"Lin Chen, go to my office to take a shower. I'll take Xiaoxi, and we'll be back in about half an hour," Xu Mengyao said.
Lin Chen nodded.
Xu Mengyao's office had a bedroom, a suite with a bathroom for washing up.
Her father used to stay at the company when he was busy.
"Dad."
Zhao Tianyou went to his father's office.
Zhao Huaiyuan had already returned from outside after finishing his business.
"I understand the outcome."
"Don't be discouraged. You haven't lost the entire game just because of one match."
"Although our Zhao Family's assets aren't as good as the Xu Family's. But our Zhao Family also has seven or eight billion in assets. What does Lin Chen have?"
Zhao Huaiyuan comforted Zhao Tianyou.
