Chapter 55
After finishing the meal, intending to pay the bill, Xu Lin found that Ye Fanleng had already paid it, making him even more anxious. He needed to hurry up and earn money.
As a grown man, he should be the one paying, but unfortunately, his pockets were not in good shape. However, several simple ways to make money came to mind, but they were all long-term.
For example, investing in future stocks that are skyrocketing, becoming an agent for Blue Orange delivery, expanding the rural express delivery business, or even pursuing careers in writing novels, acting, or music?
Surprisingly, the quickest option among these was writing novels or acting. Even though he doesnt have many lines in the recent advertisement, he will still earn 10,000 yuan.
Ah, I feel like the road ahead is long.
What do you mean, the road ahead is long?
Earning money, Xu Lin honestly replied, feeling a bit troubled.
With your excellent writing skills and creative abilities, not to mention your potential in acting, youre practically a versatile talent. Why worry about making money?
After listening, Xu Lin nodded vigorously. Youre right; initially, I thought I was a failure, but now, thanks to your words, I suddenly feel like Im actually someone impressive.
Mr. Xu, you dont need to worry about money. In the worst-case scenario, I can support you, said Chu Qingchan.
Xu Lin glanced at Chu Qingchan. Become a live-in son-in-law in your family.
Mr. Xu, it seems youre still after my beauty, Chu Qingchan replied with a straight face.
I was just kidding. I dont want to be a gigolo.
Do you think its easy to be a live-in son-in-law in our family?
Not at all. Your sister mentioned a bit about it last time.
Why would she talk to you about this? Suddenly, Chu Qingchan felt a faint sense of crisis.
Why are you so serious?
I havent always been like this. And dont trust that girl, Chu Fengyi, too much, or you might end up sold, and you wouldnt even know.
Sister, are you afraid Ill steal someone from you? Chu Fengyi, walking ahead, turned to look back at Chu Qingchan with a mischievous smile.
What am I afraid of? Chu Fengyi, I wont be bringing a husband home; itll be you! After all, I cant compare to you in anything, so isnt it just fulfilling your and your fathers wishes?
Alright, alright. Although its your family matter, the person is waiting over there for us. Lets not argue for now.
I wasnt arguing with her. Chu Fengyi gave him a disdainful look and walked towards Ye Fanlengs business car, which was not far away.
I wasnt arguing with her either. I was just stating facts. Hasnt she been working hard since childhood to become the head of the Chu family? If she wants to do it, let her go and do it well.
Chu Qingchan watched her sisters figure indifferently, while Xu Lin looked at Chu Fengyis slender figure and felt a hint of sadness in her eyes just now.
The group left the vicinity of the urban cluster in Ye Fanlengs car, with Ye Fanleng personally driving and the little girl naturally ending up in Xu Lins arms.
Ms. Ye, is this your own car? Xu Lin glanced inside and noticed there was no child seat.
No, its my friends car, lent to me.
Because I feel that when youre out, a child seat is quite important.
Xu Lin remembered a terrifying high-speed car accident before his rebirth. Both families were in cars with a child.
In one car, it was because there was a child seat, and the child only suffered minor external injuries, while the other cars child died on the spot.
For children under 10, using a safety belt can offer some protection, but it can also cause injuries to their bodies in certain situations.
A child seat can alleviate this issue, providing safer protection for fragile children in case of accidents.
Not to mention, most families are quite lax, not even fastening the safety belt properly. Xu Lin used to think it didnt matter either.
But after that incident, witnessing the tragedy, he told his friends and relatives with children about this matter, urging them to install child seats for their children.
I usually rely on the nanny to take her to her lessons, and indeed, my car doesnt have one. Mr. Xus reminder is timely. Ill prepare for it when I get back.
Because Ive seen similar news before, so forgive me for being nosy as a stranger.
I should thank Mr. Xu instead.
If a stranger was so kind to her and her daughter, she would have initially doubted the persons identity, wondering if they had any ulterior motives, whether for money or some other reason. But even though this young man wasnt from a wealthy family, she could sense the sincerity in his eyes when he looked at her daughter for the first time.
Im just an ordinary student; you can call me Xu Lin. Mr. Xu is just her nickname for me.
Xu Lin glanced at Chu Qingchan deliberately. Upon hearing his words, her expression remained unchanged, but the fist she had clenched and released subtly revealed her emotions.
Mommy, my big brother is very talented. He knows the meanings of my names, Shao Yao, and Jiang Li.
Well, your brother is impressive, but your mom isnt skilled at giving names.
Mommy is also impressive!
By the way, when you go out, is your novel updating today?
Chu Fengyi glanced at her phone and suddenly remembered Xu Lins book. Even though it updates two or three times a day, its still not enough!
I have drafts for chapters 6 and 7. If I need to, I can find a place with a computer to write. Ill just tell you the continuation.
Dont! Be careful next time we spar; Ill use full force.
Xu Lin immediately shut his mouth, nearly becoming the most annoying spoiler dog.
Xu Lin, are you still writing novels?
Yes, web novels, just to earn some pocket money.
Young people nowadays struggle to even write a 600-character essay, Ye Fanleng remarked, glancing at the empty bag on the front passenger seat and suddenly remembering something.
Xu Lin, if you need a computer, come to my room.
? Both Chu Qinghan and Chu Fengyi simultaneously raised their heads, and Ye Fanleng suddenly felt a change in the atmosphere.
Xu Lin quickly took over. Ms. Ye must be busy and surely needs a computer. Its okay; I wont disturb your rest.
Its fine. The computer is on the small table in the living room. I wont need it until tonight. I have other things to do during the day, so I wont be in the room.
Okay, thank you, Ms. Ye. Xu Lin didnt refuse the kindness; he indeed needed a computer to work on his book.
After listening to the conversation between the two, the Chu sisters lowered their heads again to their phones, and the little girl pestered him, forcing him to tell the story once more.
And so, the car drove for over half an hour until the towering buildings were completely scattered, and the surroundings turned into a representation of nature with greenery.
After a few more minutes, the car slowly descended a slope and arrived at a huge open-air parking lot. Ye Fanleng parked the car and then made a phone call.
My friend happens to be here. We can use the internal passage from the back and avoid the main entrance.
Hung up the phone, Ye Fanleng said a word, then started the car again, turned the car around, and left the parking lot.
Is that Uncle Zhang? The little girl raised her head and looked at her mother.
Yeah.
Upon hearing her mothers words, the little girl leaned against her with a somewhat sullen expression.
They drove for another 3 minutes, and the car went downhill again, stopping in front of a huge grass field surrounded by a metal fence, but people playing golf could be seen inside.
A middle-aged man in casual clothes also opened the metal gate and came out with a smile on his face. Although he was not young, he appeared to be very energetic and handsome.
With his figure and temperament, he looked like the ideal model for many successful men, which could be said to be the dream template for many uncles.
However, Chu Qingchan and Chu Fengyi just glanced up and then lowered their heads again. Ye Fanleng also got out of the car and walked over.
The other party stretched out his arms, ready for a hug, but Ye Fanleng extended her hand instead. The other party smiled and handed over his hand, shaking hands.
The little girl pouted, Brother, this is the person; I dont like him.
Whats wrong?
He wants to be my daddy!
