Zhao Huaiyuan and Zhao Tianyou arrived at the Xu residence first.
The nanny had taken Lin Xiaoxi out to play.
Lin Xiaoxi said Zhao Tianyou was the Big Bad Wolf, and it wouldn't be good if they came over while she was at home.
Xu Guofeng still remembered the old times, as the relationship between them had been quite good before.
"Brother Xu, besides visiting your wife today, I also want to discuss something with you, Brother Xu."
After sitting down and chatting for a while, Zhao Huaiyuan said.
Xu Guofeng frowned slightly.
"What is it?"
Zhao Huaiyuan said, "Lin Chen and Mengyao are married. Mengyao did it for Xiaoxi's sake, but she didn't have to sacrifice herself."
"She and Lin Chen are like heaven and earth."
Xu Guofeng said in a low voice, "Mengyao is my daughter. How can you say that about her? How is Mengyao the 'earth'?"
If it were heaven and earth, in his view, Lin Chen was the heaven; with his calligraphy alone, Lin Chen would surely go down in history.
"Cough, cough!"
Zhao Tianyou was drinking tea and choked when he heard this.
Zhao Huaiyuan: "..."
"Brother Xu, Mengyao is the heaven, and Lin Chen is the earth. Mengyao is a daughter of a wealthy family, while Lin Chen is nothing."
"Lin Chen's family is building a villa now. Isn't the money for building the house all from Mengyao, that Lin Chen got?"
"Will they be happy like this in the future?"
Zhao Tianyou said seriously, "Uncle Xu, Mengyao is blinded by Lin Chen's sweet talk. As outsiders, we can't let her fall into this mire that is Lin Chen."
Yang Qingyue frowned, "I think Lin Chen is quite good."
Zhao Huaiyuan looked at Yang Qingyue.
"Sister-in-law, Mengyao is excellent in every way. Although Mengyao has a child, she can find someone even better."
"Tianyou and Mengyao have known each other since childhood, they're childhood sweethearts. Wouldn't they be more suitable together?"
Yang Qingyue's face turned cold.
"Just because you've known someone since childhood doesn't mean you're childhood sweethearts. If that were the case, there'd be far too many childhood sweethearts."
Zhao Tianyou said, "Aunt Yang, if I were with Mengyao, I would treat her incredibly well."
"I would also treat Xiaoxi as my own."
The villa door opened at that moment.
Lin Chen and Xu Mengyao walked in. Lin Chen said, "Zhao Tianyou, Xiaoxi has a father, you don't need to treat her as your own."
Zhao Tianyou looked at Lin Chen.
His eyes flashed with a cold light.
"Lin Chen, you're here at the right time. By what right are you with Mengyao? Just because your basketball skills are decent?"
"Don't forget where you come from."
"You're just a nobody, your parents are farmers."
Xu Guofeng slammed his hand on the table in front of him.
"Tianyou, that's too much."
"Personal attack, is this how you, from a wealthy family, are raised?"
Xu Guofeng said in a low voice.
Zhao Huaiyuan's lips twitched.
Saying Zhao Tianyou had no upbringing, wasn't that just pointing at him and cursing?
Xu Guofeng's family seemed to favor Lin Chen. What kind of love potion had Lin Chen given them?
"Brother Xu, sorry to bother you."
"Tianyou, let's go."
Zhao Huaiyuan stood up and said. He knew Zhao Tianyou was out of luck and would need to find another way to get ahead.
"Lin Chen, by what right?"
Zhao Tianyou glared at Lin Chen, unwilling to accept it.
"Because I like him."
"Because he's Xiaoxi's father, and Xiaoxi likes him too."
Xu Mengyao spoke.
Zhao Tianyou said angrily, "Mengyao, why do you like him? What am I lacking compared to him? I've known you since we were kids, and I've been pursuing you for a long time."
"What are you lacking?"
"Isn't my basketball skills worse than Lin Chen's?"
Xu Mengyao said lightly.
Zhao Tianyou: "..."
"Besides that, I want to know where else I'm worse than him!"
Xu Mengyao sneered, "Who are you to me that I should explain? You're not better than Lin Chen in any way. You're not even worthy of his toenail."
Lin Chen turned and looked at Xu Mengyao.
Xu Mengyao's domineering way of protecting her man was so beautiful.
I really want to kiss her.
"Lin Chen, you say it yourself."
"What do you have that's better than me!"
Zhao Tianyou looked at Lin Chen coldly.
As a rich young master, he had still learned quite a bit.
Lin Chen bent down, and with one hand, he held Xu Mengyao's leg, lifting her up entirely with a single hand. "I can hold Mengyao with one hand, can you?"
Lin Chen asked with a smile.
Zhao Tianyou: "..."
At this moment, even driving a single-handed Ferrari wouldn't help.
"Let's go."
Zhao Huaiyuan said in a low voice.
He saw clearly that Xu Mengyao had truly fallen for Lin Chen. In this situation, no matter what Zhao Tianyou said, it wouldn't make a difference.
Zhao Tianyou followed Zhao Huaiyuan outside with a hateful expression.
Lin Chen let go of Xu Mengyao: "Zhao Tianyou, your family has been farmers for three generations. It was the food grown by farmers that fed you. Don't forget your roots."
Zhao Tianyou left with a grim expression.
"Lin Chen, you scared me,"
Xu Mengyao said in a coquettish tone.
Xu Guofeng said, "Lin Chen, I'm sorry. Our families used to get along quite well. I was hoping we wouldn't have to fall out."
"I didn't expect it to turn out like this."
Lin Chen smiled. "Uncle Xu, I'm fine. However, with their behavior, the Xu family might be in trouble next."
"Yes."
Xu Guofeng nodded.
This time, we've completely fallen out.
I don't know what the Zhao family will do next.
Lin Chen said, "Uncle Xu, what I said might not necessarily be a bad thing. If we can get rid of the tumor, that's a good thing."
Xu Guofeng was thoughtful.
"You have a point."
"But the Zhao family is deeply rooted within the group. Getting rid of them won't be easy."
"And they've likely already established connections with others."
Lin Chen said, "Uncle Xu, let them make a move first. If you target them without them doing anything, it won't look good. It'll be fine once they make a move."
Xu's former partners weren't just the Zhao family.
If Xu's family strongly targeted the Zhao family now, what would the others think? Would they band together for warmth as a result?
If they joined forces, the threat to Xu's family would be great.
"Mmh."
Xu Guofeng nodded, a smile appearing on his face. "Lin Chen, you have a good business mind. In a few years, I might as well retire and let you take the helm of the group."
Lin Chen shook his head repeatedly.
"Uncle Xu, don't try to harm me."
"I get a headache just listening to all the deceit and scheming in the business world."
"I prefer being a free spirit."
Xu Mengyao: "Dad, don't think about retiring. You're only in your forties, and the legal retirement age is sixty-five now."
Xu Guofeng: "..."
If Lin Chen was interested, he would be very willing to nurture him.
He wasn't at all worried about Lin Chen taking over the Xu family's assets.
Wouldn't Lin Chen getting the Xu family's assets still benefit Lin Xiaoxi?
Even if all of the Xu family's shares went to Lin Chen, the money in their private accounts would be enough for them to live off of for ten lifetimes.
"Mengyao, if Lin Chen isn't interested, you can't run away. When the crisis passes, and Xiaoxi is older, you can continue to manage the company."
Xu Guofeng said.
Xu Mengyao looked at Lin Chen, her expression bashful as she said, "Dad, don't even think about it. I'll have another one with Lin Chen later."
"The doctor said it's difficult for me to get pregnant again, but it's not entirely impossible, and Lin Chen's medical skills are constantly improving."
Xu Guofeng: "..."
Yang Qingyue said with a smile, "Old Xu, if Mengyao has another child, that's a great thing. It's worth it even if you have to work a few more years."
"Mengyao, Mom supports you."
Lin Chen looked at Xu Mengyao with a chuckle.
Xu Guofeng: "Since you've brought up that reason, what else can Dad say? I'll work hard for a few more years."
"Try to accumulate a bit more family property."
The nanny returned with Lin Xiaoxi at this moment.
"Daddy, Mommy."
"I saw the Big Bad Wolf leave, and we're back."
Lin Xiaoxi ran in.
The nanny, Qingqing, nervously said, "Master, Madam, I've caused trouble. I didn't take Xiaoxi far, but she saw President Zhao and the others, and she shouted 'Big Bad Wolf' at them."
"President Zhao and the others heard it."
"And—"
Lin Xiaoxi ran to Xu Mengyao's side: "Mom, Uncle Zhao said you and Dad are fake married."
"Are you two fake married?"
Yang Qingyue's face darkened: "Qingqing, did Zhao Tianyou just say that?"
"Yes."
The nanny Qingqing nodded.
Xu Mengyao squatted down and hugged Lin Xiaoxi, who looked at Lin Chen, her eyes quickly filling with tears.
"Dad, I don't want to leave you."
