Chapter 285: Let Aunt Take Xiao Mi
Dad, Weiwei and Chen Yang just got married a few months ago. Newlyweds, they work during the day and still have to think about having kids at night. Having Xiao Mi live with them isn't appropriate, is it?
Hu Qingwan, although she feels a bit sorry for Lin Xiao Mi's tragic background, her daughter's happiness is also very important. She hasn't even been a mother yet, and now she's supposed to live together with a teenager; what is this?
What should we do? You also said you need to take care of Yue'e, you have no time to spare, you can't possibly let the child live with me, this lonely old man, can you?
Old Master Lin now only wants to give Lin Xiao Mi a warm home to properly make up for his past debt to Lin Dashan. And now, the Lin family is doing best only because of Chen Yang; there's no second person.
Grandpa, Mom, since you can't take care of Xiao Mi, let him live with us!" Lin Wei actually doesn't want to break her and Chen Yang's two-person world either. But Du Yue'e is already pregnant, and the whole Lin family revolves around her. At this time, it's hard to attend to Xiao Mi's emotions.
This child's background is already pitiful; if we add more negative emotions, things will surely spiral out of control. By then, the self-blame won't be just Old Master Lin's alone.
No way, you yourselves can't even take care of yourselves; adding a child will only make things more chaotic." Hu Qingwan continues to insist on her stance. He apparently heard Lin Jianguo say that Lin Wei and Chen Yang are quite noisy at night. Lin Xiao Mi has already entered puberty; if he hears some sounds he shouldn't, that would be a big problem.
Dad, why not let Xiao Mi live with you? We'll spend money to hire a full-time nanny. That way, it can not only attend to you, but also take good care of Xiao Mi's daily life.
Unsuitable!" Old Master Lin immediately rejected Hu Qingwan's suggestion. "I have many ailments, and I've grown accustomed to living alone these years. If Xiao Mi lives with me, he'll definitely suffer.
Having Xiao Mi live with Weiwei and Chen Yang isn't an option either! They just got married; they also need to live their own lives!" Hu Qingwan tried to speak vaguely, hoping Old Master Lin would understand her difficulties.
Unfortunately, Old Master Lin selectively pretended not to hear.
Chen Yang saw this and thought that continuing the stalemate wasn't good either. Not only would Old Master Lin and Hu Qingwan clash, but Lin Xiao Mi's emotional blow would worsen further.
Grandpa, Mom, why not let Xiao Mi go to Xingcheng to live with my aunt's family! The new house there has already been renovated, you can move in directly. The nearby middle school's education quality is also good. As for my aunt, although she's a bit talkative and hasn't read much, she's always been strict about children's education.
Having Xiao Mi live with them, I guarantee it won't be bad.
Your aunt is indeed a good person; the last time we had dinner at Zhong Lin's house, we got along quite well. Entrusting Xiao Mi to her, I also feel relieved." Hu Qingwan heard that Chen Yang wanted to send Lin Xiao Mi to Chen Chunmei's place, and immediately expressed support.
Old Master Lin hesitated and said, "This is our Lin family's matter; having the Chen family people substitute labor isn't appropriate, is it?"
Hu Qingwan snapped, "Dad, Weiwei married Chen Yang, so she's part of the Chen family. You letting her and Chen Yang take care of Xiao Mi isn't just wanting the Chen family to replace us in looking after Xiao Mi, is it?"
Old Master Lin fell silent at once. He actually hoped Lin Xiao Mi would stay in Qingshui City. If anything happened, he could still have a say. But he also knows himself; given his personality, he couldn't take care of a child.
Hu Qingwan, in order to stop him from continuing to agonize, added: "Our house in Xingcheng will also be finished renovating soon. Later, if you miss Xiao Mi, you can also move to Xingcheng for a while."
Old Master Lin sighed upon hearing that. After all, Chen Yang's proposal is indeed the best solution currently available. Even he couldn't refuse it.
Xiao Mi, are you willing to go to Xingcheng and live together with Chen Yang's uncle's aunt?
Lin Xiao Mi is just young, not that he doesn't understand. He already learned from the conversation between Old Master Lin and Hu Qingwan that they don't want to accept him. On the contrary, Chen Yang and Lin Wei are both willing to accept him. So, he had no hesitation and immediately made his decision.
Grandpa, I'm willing to go to Xingcheng!
Old Master Lin heard that Lin Xiao Mi was willing to go to Xingcheng, and he breathed a sigh of relief inside. But he still wasn't completely at ease.
Xiao Mi, if life in Xingcheng isn't good, remember to call Grandpa.
Dad, what are you talking about! Hu Qingwan got a little angry; even if Old Master Lin worried about Xiao Mi not doing well in Xingcheng, he couldn't say that in front of Chen Yang. This isn't just using seniority's authority to suppress juniors; it also indirectly questions their character.
Old Master Lin's face turned slightly red, perhaps feeling guilty, and his voice lowered a bit: "I didn't say anything..."
Hu Qingwan truly didn't know how to speak to this father-in-law. When he was young, he was quite sharp, but now in old age he's become unreasonable.
Grandpa, Mom, rest assured, I promise to take good care of Xiao Mi. Chen Yang had grown accustomed to Old Master Lin's attitude, so he wasn't particularly emotional either; however, seeing Hu Qingwan's protective attitude everywhere, his heart still felt warm.
Chen Yang, then thank you for your hard work!
Not hard at all; I'm also a member of the Lin family, doing something for the Lin family is a matter of course.
Chen Yang didn't say too many pleasantries. No matter how much he said, Old Master Lin might not necessarily change his attitude toward him.
He accepted Lin Xiao Mi simply because he didn't want a child who shared his same experiences to just fall into decline.
After leaving the Lin family, Chen Yang called Chen Chunmei, briefly explaining Lin Xiao Mi's background and current situation, and asked whether Chen Chunmei had time to take care of this child.
Unexpectedly, Chen Chunmei agreed without any hesitation.
So, Chen Yang drove Lin Xiao Mi to Xingcheng Sunshine Garden Community that same afternoon.
That evening, Zhao Qian also happened to return, and the whole family held a grand welcome party for Lin Xiao Mi.
Chen Chunmei liked Lin Xiao Mi very much, stroking the child's head and saying, "Xiao Mi, from now on you don't need to think about anything; just treat Grandma's home as your own."
Lin Xiao Mi nodded slightly. Although Chen Chunmei's family was still unfamiliar to him, their enthusiasm was impossible to conceal.
He was very willing to live a good life here, waiting until he truly grew up to go and avenge his parents.
That night, Chen Yang suddenly received a call from Su Mingyue, informing him that the stock of Mouyi plummeted sharply, dropping from five dollars to four point two dollars.
Hearing Lin Wei's anxious voice over the phone, Chen Yang, as a Reborn Person, only advised him with one word: Stay calm!
Because this is obviously the manipulators' strategy of suppressing the stock price to accumulate shares; selling at this time exactly fits their wishes.
