Chapter 732: Finally going to live!

"Come on, Grandpa will buy you some candy!"

Lin Xiangdong was extremely happy, he took Lin Chang'e's hand and said.

"I don't eat candy; Mom told me not to eat too much because it's bad for my teeth."

Lin Chang'e said, showing off her white teeth.

Her two little sharp canine teeth were especially noticeable.

"Well, this kid is quite well-behaved!"

Liang Shiyun said with a smile.

"Quite well-behaved?"

Lin Chang'e immediately scratched her head and said, "I don't want candy, but I want toys!"

"Grandpa, Grandma, can you buy me toys?"

Lin Xiangdong and Liang Shiyun exchanged a glance, then both nodded.

For his own granddaughter, buying toys is nothing—he'd even get her a whole toy factory if needed.

"Come on, let's go buy!"

Liang Shiyun said.

Next, Lin Xiangdong took out his phone and made a call.

Soon a black Audi sedan drove up.

After the driver parked at the curb, he got out and opened the rear door.

Lin Xiangdong and Liang Shiyun pulled Lin Chang'e to sit in the back seat.

"To the toy store."

Lin Xiangdong said lightly.

The driver responded, started the car, and drove toward the toy store.

"Little Chang'e, what kind of toy do you want?"

Liang Shiyun asked with a smile.

Lin Chang'e frowned slightly, "I haven't even said my name, Grandma, how do you know I'm called Little Chang'e?"

Liang Shiyun was momentarily at a loss, not knowing how to explain.

Lin Xiangdong quickly said, "You're Lin Chang'e, you live in that Sihe Courtyard over there, right?"

"Exactly!"

Lin Chang'e nodded.

Lin Xiangdong said with a smile, "Actually, we previously visited near your home as guests and saw you,"

"and after asking the host, we found out you're quite famous there, Lin Chang'e!"

"Why are you famous?"

Lin Chang'e asked again.

Children always have lots of questions.

This time Liang Shiyun explained, she said with a smile, "Because you look like a little princess, and you're very lively and cute,"

"Everyone likes a child like you; one glance and they remember you."

"Really?"

Lin Chang'e lowered her head, a little shy.

After being praised by Liang Shiyun, the little one got a bit carried away.

But in her heart she became even more wary.

"These old man and old woman actually know me!"

"They must have scouted ahead and investigated me."

"Exactly!"

"I'm so outstanding, it's easy for child traffickers to take notice."

"So I need to find an opportunity… humph!"

Lin Chang'e had already begun scheming in her heart.

Next, Lin Xiangdong and Liang Shiyun, the couple, asked all sorts of questions.

They asked who Lin Chang'e's father was, who her mother was, what people were in the household, and so on.

"I can't say my father's name, but I can tell you he's very formidable!"

"As for my mother, that's even more unspeakable."

"Besides, my mother rarely goes out, stays home all day, doesn't see outsiders, so knowing would be useless."

"There are many people in my family, lots of concubines…"

Speaking, Lin Chang'e counted on her fingers and finally said, "Just the ones I know of are nearly thirty!"

"Besides, I have many sisters and two brothers."

Soon, the car pulled into the underground parking lot of a large mall and stopped.

Lin Xiangdong picked up Lin Chang'e, walked into the elevator, and went up to the floor of the mall dedicated to children's toys.

Upon arrival, Lin Chang'e's eyes widened.

There were many things she liked to play with here.

Various children's electronic games, exquisite anime figurines, dolls…

Moreover, the whole floor was full of children.

As soon as Lin Chang'e landed from Lin Xiangdong's arms, she lunged toward the various shops,

Lin Xiangdong and Liang Shiyun, the couple, followed behind Lin Chang'e, running back and forth, afraid of losing her.

After a little more than an hour, they were so tired that their waists ached.

The two found a long bench and sat down.

At this moment, Lin Chang'e was already sitting inside the "Space Capsule" arcade machine, playing Starry Sky Flight.

This round of playing lasted at least a little over half an hour, just enough for the old couple to rest.

"This kid really knows how to hustle!"

Lin Xiangdong thumped his leg and said.

Liang Shiyun nodded, "My old back! The amount of exercise I've done all year doesn't even match today's little over an hour."

Next to them, a young man wearing sunglasses grinned.

He was Lin Xiangdong and Liang Shiyun's full‑time driver.

He wanted to say that ever since becoming the old couple's driver, he had never been this tired.

Beside him were piled a huge stack of toy packaging boxes that could drown a person.

He had just made a phone call and summoned a few people over.

"All in all, this granddaughter is great!"

Liang Shiyun said with a smile.

Lin Xiangdong nodded and gave a wry smile, "So many daughters but only two sons, that's too few."

Liang Shiyun said, "Having many daughters is good; having many sons is troublesome! In the future, fighting over inheritance will cause the whole family to be in chaos.

Daughters are different; later they can marry someone of equal status, and a single dowry will be enough."

Lin Xiangdong shook his head, "That dowry isn't cheap!"

Speaking of this issue, the couple thought of Yang Caiwei and Qian Miaomiao.

When Yang Caiwei's father Yang Yu was still alive, he gave Yang Caiwei a dowry of eight billion.

That didn't even include the rest.

Added up gradually, there must be a hundred billion.

Since Yang Yu's death, his several sons have each taken a share of the estate,

some received cash directly, others received company shares.

But now, aside from Yang Caiwei's growing wealth, the rest of the Yang children,

have all fallen into decline.

They haven't sunk to the point of living like ordinary people.

Yet they have dropped several social tiers.

A wealthy family's decline comes far faster than its rise.

Qian Miaomiao's family is the same.

Qian Shihao's health is getting worse, and several of his sons have died.

The remaining ones are said to be ill as well.

In the end, the Qian family's assets will surely end up in Qian Miaomiao's hands.

So, raising daughters is not cheap.

Lin Xiangdong and Liang Shiyun thought far ahead.

They both thought for Lin Feng about several decades ahead.

When the children grow up one by one, how to arrange things will indeed be a big problem.

"In my view, the safest way is to set up a fund, and the family's children just receive dividends.

Then the later children can split from the original share."

"That's not good; the later children will keep increasing, producing a bunch of dead weight.

I think we're overthinking it; let's see how Little Lin arranges it!"

After a little more than an hour, Lin Chang'e finally finished playing.

It was already noon then.

Lin Chang'e said, "Grandpa, Grandma, you're so kind, come visit my house!

The food at my home is delicious!

And Cai Wei Yiniang, Miaomiao Yiniang, En Hui Yiniang… they're all very hospitable.

My dad is also at home today!"

Lin Xiangdong quickly replied, "No! We have plans this afternoon."

Liang Shiyun nodded, "Next time! Next time we'll definitely visit your house."

Lin Chang'e, with a helpless expression, said, "Alright then!"

As she spoke, Lin Chang'e pointed to a shop ahead and said, "I still want to go there to buy a toy, the last one!"

"But I'd like you, Grandpa and Grandma, to help me pick."

"Okay!"

Lin Xiangdong and Liang Shiyun nodded.

This is a toy with commemorative significance.

The couple simultaneously thought of the other grandchildren.

Then Liang Shiyun said, "Little Chang'e, you have many sisters and brothers; why not take this chance and we buy one for each of them!"

"That way, when they come to play at your place, you can deliver them for us, okay?"

"Good!"

Lin Chang'e nodded.

The elderly couple happily went to the toy store designated by Lin Chang'e to pick out things.

Now it was Lin Chang'e's turn to keep watch outside.

"Close the door, don't let them out!"

Lin Chang'e grabbed the clerk and said.

She had actually been here more than once.

This toy store is opened by Aunt Zuo Wei!

So the female clerk knows Lin Chang'e.

As an excellent clerk, she also knows that the boss lady and Lin Chang'e's father Lin Feng have an extraordinary relationship.

"Why lock them in here?"

The clerk asked curiously.

Lin Chang'e said: "I suspect they have ill intentions; I've already seen they are not child traffickers."

"Child traffickers wouldn't buy me toys worth hundreds of thousands; that would be a loss, right?"

"Yes," the female clerk nodded.

Lin Chang'e also said: "If they're not child traffickers, then they certainly have designs on me."

"I couldn't have imagined, but my dad warned me to be careful when seeing these two people."

"Dad has warned me like this, showing these two people are not ordinary; ordinary methods can't detain both of them."

So! Simply lock them up and then call Dad.

That way, they can't possibly escape.

"Okay!"

The female clerk agreed to join Lin Chang'e in "making trouble".

Lin Chang'e walked up to the driver of Lin Xiangdong and Liang Shiyun and said: "Uncle, Grandfather said to have you call a few people to come and move these toys onto the truck below."

The driver said: "I've already called people; they'll be here shortly."

Lin Chang'e frowned and said: "Go ahead and move them down; we're leaving soon, and my stomach is growling from hunger."

The driver stared, then nodded, thinking this little girl is really hard to serve.

Although he complained inside, he carried the toys and walked toward the elevator.

After the driver left, the female clerk hung a "closed for business" sign at the door.

At this moment, Lin Xiangdong and Liang Shiyun were concentrating on picking out toys.

This store is not big, selling only small toys, children's crafts, etc., and has only one female clerk.

But business is extremely good, with average daily turnover of several tens of thousands.

Net profit is at least 230,000 per month.

Because many foreign customers come to shop.

Taking advantage of Lin Xiangdong and Liang Shiyun's inattention, the female clerk pulled the glass shut and locked it.

Then with a "clatter", she pulled down the aluminum alloy rolling shutter.

After doing all that, the female clerk's heart went thump-thump.

This matter is neither big nor small.

She is merely accompanying a little child in making trouble.

Whether she can get a raise depends on this gamble!

"Little Chang'e, this time I'm really staking my future! This old man and old lady are obviously rich; we can't afford to offend them!"

After closing the door, the female clerk said with a resentful face.

Lin Chang'e said with a smile: "I still don't know your name!"

The female clerk said with a smile: "My name is Lu Fengping."

"Miss Lu, I've remembered you! I'll tell Aunt Zuo Wei later to raise your salary!"

"Great! Little Chang'e, you're really kind!"

Lin Chang'e hehe laughed.

Just then, the driver who was moving the goods came over with a man and a woman.

"Where are the people?"

The driver wearing Sunglasses, looking cool, saw the shop door closed and frowned, asking.

Lin Chang'e pointed to the distance and said: "Grandfather and grandmother went that way; you go ahead and move the stuff!"

The driver nodded.

A huge pile of toys; three people still need to make two trips.

"Let me use my phone!"

Lin Chang'e said to Lu Fengping.

Lu Fengping immediately took out his phone, unlocked it, and handed it to Lin Chang'e.

After taking the phone, Lin Chang'e dialed Lin Feng's mobile.

At the same moment.

Lin Xiangdong and Liang Shiyun, locked in the store, finally came to their senses.

They were locked in a store less than ten square meters!

"What's going on?"

Liang Shiyun frowned and said.

Lin Xiangdong sighed, "We were still supposed to hide for a while, but now it looks like we have to meet Xiao Feng ahead of time."

Pretending to be dead for so long, and then suddenly coming back to life—I'm really not used to it!

"Do you have your phone on you?"

Liang Shiyun asked Lin Xiangdong.

She was planning to make a final struggle.

Lin Xiangdong turned out his pockets and said, "My phone was originally in my pocket, but I didn't expect it to be gone."

Liang Shiyun frowned and said, "My bag was also placed on the outside stool—that's strange; we normally wouldn't forget something like that."

Lin Xiangdong gave a wry smile and said, "Most likely, Xiao Chang'e took my phone; I guess she just tossed it into the car."

"As for your bag, when we came over, wasn't it moved to another side by Xiao Chang'e?"

Liang Shiyun thought for a moment, and a look of sudden realization appeared on her face.

"Indeed, that's exactly what happened."

"I never expected we'd be outsmarted by a little kid!"

Liang Shiyun shook her head and sighed.

"They used to be called a pair of old foxes!"

"Who would have thought that two old foxes would be outwitted by a little fox?"

Lin Xiangdong frowned and analyzed, "The fact that Xiao Chang'e could do this shows that Xiao Feng had already warned her before we met her."

"Huh?"

Liang Shiyun frowned, puzzled.

Lin Xiangdong continued, "Actually, I've had a feeling all this time that Xiao Feng might already know we're still alive."

"We haven't shown any flaws! Especially over the past six months, our appearances have been getting fewer and fewer…"

Liang Shiyun murmured.

Lin Xiangdong shook his head and said, "Time itself is the biggest flaw! Because as time goes on, our appearances have been increasing,

and the number of times we meet our grandsons and granddaughters has also been increasing.

"Don't you think? The women around Xiao Feng are all sharp as tacks; running into them once or twice would be fine,

but if we keep showing up and even run into them in different cities, that's just too much of a coincidence!"

"What should we do next?"

Liang Shiyun asked.

Lin Xiangdong looked at the toys in the store and said, "Let's pick out toys! We'll have to give away a lot later!"

"Exactly!"

Liang Shiyun nodded.

Next, the two of them calmly began picking out toys.

Although they appeared calm on the surface, inside they were both nervous and eager.

"We've been pretending to be dead for three years!"

"Now that so much has changed at home, when we meet, I don't know what it will be like."

"We can openly gather a bunch of daughters-in-law, grandsons and granddaughters for a get‑together… tsk tsk!"

"Just thinking about it feels pretty nice."
