"Old Master Xu, it's hot outside, let's go inside," Xu Guofeng said with a smile.
Everyone entered the villa.
Old Master Xu arrived, and he became one of the focal points. After all, in China, the status of the powerful was higher than that of the wealthy.
"Qingyue, in the blink of an eye, your granddaughter is so grown up."
"I remember her name is XiXi, right?" Old Master Xu asked, smiling at Lin Xiaoxi.
Yang Qingyue nodded and said to Lin Xiaoxi, "XiXi, this is your great-grandfather, say hello to him."
Lin Xiaoxi said in a childish voice, "Hello, Great-Grandpa! Great-Grandpa, why are your hair and beard all white?"
Old Master Xu smiled, "Great-Grandpa is old. When people get old, their hair and beards gradually turn white. XiXi, I held you when you were very young."
"I can't hold you now."
Lin Xiaoxi said, "My Daddy can hold me. My Daddy is the strongest, he's a strongman."
"Oh, is that so?"
"Where is your father?" Old Master Xu asked.
Lin Chen stepped forward a bit and smiled, "Old Master Xu, my name is Lin Chen, I'm XiXi's father."
Old Master Xu sized up Lin Chen. "Not bad, young man, you look energetic. Mengyao is a good girl, and you have XiXi too. You can't let her down."
"Old Master, I won't," Lin Chen said.
Old Master Xu nodded.
Someone nearby said, "Old Master, your traditional Chinese paintings are amazing. I wonder if we'll be fortunate enough to admire one today?"
Old Master Xu waved his hand. "I'm too old and feeble now. Besides, I'm not the main attraction today, so I won't paint."
Lin Xiaoxi asked, "Great-grandfather, do you like painting too?"
"Yes."
"XiXi, do you like to draw?"
Old Master Xu asked with a smile.
Lin Xiaoxi nodded, "I do. Daddy taught me how to draw, and my daddy is the best at drawing."
Old Master Xu looked at Lin Chen.
"XiXi is just exaggerating. I know a little about drawing. I'm XiXi's dad, so she thinks I'm the best."
Lin Chen coughed lightly.
Lin Xiaoxi said, "Daddy, you are the best. You're the best daddy in the whole world."
Old Master Xu said, "Can Grandpa take a look at your drawings? If you draw well, Grandpa will recommend a good teacher for you."
Lin Chen was taken aback.
Lin Xiaoxi said sweetly, "Sure! But I don't want a teacher. My dad can teach me to draw."
"Grandma, put me down."
"Great-grandpa, let me take you to see my drawings."
Old Master Xu nodded, "Alright, you lead the way. You two, don't follow. We'll have a drawing exchange."
Xu Guofeng said, "Old Master Xu, Lin Chen can come too. Lin Chen, help Old Master Xu a bit, don't let him bump into anything."
"Okay."
Lin Chen nodded.
The three of them went upstairs to Lin Xiaoxi's study. Although she was only two years old, she had her own baby study here.
She had drawn some pictures in the study.
"Great-grandpa, these are the ones I drew."
Lin Xiaoxi took out her paintings.
Old Master Xu was stunned when he saw the first one.
Could a child of just over two years old draw something like this? Forget children, most adults didn't have this skill level.
One, two...
Lin Xiaoxi had a total of five paintings here, and Old Master Xu looked at them all.
"XiXi, did you draw all of these?"
"Mm-hmm."
Old Master Xu was overjoyed.
He hadn't expected to discover such a talented painter.
"Xiao Lin, XiXi has a great talent for painting. Nurturing her well might make her a world-class painter."
"I'll find her a good teacher."
Old Master Xu looked at Lin Chen and said in a low voice.
Lin Xiaoxi shook her head repeatedly, "I don't want to. Dad is the best. Dad taught me all of this."
Lin Chen: "Old Master Xu, I'll teach XiXi myself. My skills are decent."
Old Master Xu frowned: "Decent isn't enough. XiXi has extremely high talent. She needs someone with extremely high skills to teach her. She needs a solid foundation from a young age to go further."
"Old Master, let me paint one."
"Would you take a look, Old Master?"
Lin Chen said.
Old Master Xu: "Is there time? It's almost time for dinner."
"Old Master, I'll paint a simple one."
Lin Xiaoxi had everything, paper and brushes. Lin Chen quickly started.
In just a few minutes, Lin Chen finished a landscape painting.
Old Master Xu was immersed in the painting.
He seemed to be in the midst of the mountains and rivers.
"Dad, what's wrong with Grandpa?"
Lin Xiaoxi's voice startled Old Master Xu.
Old Master Xu looked at Lin Chen, his eyes filled with shock: "Xiao Lin, your painting skills have reached the Realm of Transformation?"
"Wait, your surname is Lin—"
"Could it be that Lin Yu online is also you?"
Before Lin Chen could speak, Lin Xiaoxi chimed in: "Lin Yu is Dad, Dad's fairy tales are so good."
Lin Chen: "..."
He patted Lin Xiaoxi's little head. "XiXi, you can't just blurt things out, alright? If others knew Lin Yu was your dad, we might get a lot of unwanted attention."
"Then Daddy wouldn't be able to take you out to play."
Lin Xiaoxi covered her small mouth with her hand.
Old Master Xu was even more shocked.
Lin Yu's popularity online was very high these days. Even more people had seen his signed books, and Old Master Xu was one of them.
He was a fan of Lin Yu!
He'd thought Lin Yu was at least forty or fifty years old. He never expected Lin Yu to be a young man in his twenties.
"You, you—"
Old Master Xu didn't know what to say for a moment.
Lin Yu was at the top of the world in fairy tale creation, his calligraphy was superb, and his painting was also so terrifying.
"Old Master, don't get too excited."
"You need to take care of your health."
Lin Chen said.
Old Master Xu took a deep breath and said, "Lin God, I'm your fan, can you sign your name for me?"
Lin Chen: "..."
"Old Master Xu, you can just call me Little Lin."
Old Master Xu: "Your fans call you God Lin, and I'm one of your fans too. There's nothing wrong with me calling you that."
Lin Chen was helpless: "The netizens are just messing around. You don't have to call me that. Just call me Little Lin is fine."
He signed his name on the painting he had just finished.
"Old Master Xu, this is for you."
"There shouldn't be any rules broken between friends who like painting, right?"
Lin Chen said.
"Thank you."
Old Master Xu said with delight.
Lin Chen put the paintings away, "Old Master Xu, I'll take them to your car later."
"Let's go downstairs, it's almost time for dinner."
"XiXi, don't say anything silly again, okay?"
Lin Xiaoxi nodded repeatedly, "Grandpa, you have to keep it a secret, or I won't be able to go to the amusement park anymore."
"Don't worry, Grandpa will definitely keep it a secret."
Old Master Xu smiled and said.
The three of them went downstairs, and everyone entered the banquet hall.
The Xu family's banquet hall was over a hundred square meters, easily accommodating a dozen tables. Today, they had set up ten.
The food was prepared by chefs from a five-star hotel.
Lin Chen was about to sit with some of the younger generation when Old Master Xu called out, "Lin Chen, what are you doing? Come to this table. Your father-in-law's not much of a drinker, you need to be here to keep him company."
The surrounding people were surprised.
Old Master Xu's table was for the most important guests, and Lin Chen was young. Normally, he wouldn't be seated there.
Old Master Xu said he was asking Lin Chen to keep him company, but everyone wasn't stupid. Old Master Xu was clearly looking after Lin Chen.
"It's good for Lin Chen to sit here."
"He has a good tolerance for alcohol."
Zhao Jingshou smiled and said,
Everyone chimed in with invitations.
Old Master Xu and Zhao Jingshou both invited Lin Chen. Could Lin Chen possibly decline?
