Chapter 781: Someone's Got Their Eye on Our Family

Time passes day by day, and soon it's the end of January.

The New Year is still a week away.

Suddenly, it feels as if the whole world is filled with the festive New Year atmosphere.

A few days ago, Yang Caiwei started preparing for a lively Spring Festival.

Because this year is different from the previous ones.

Lin Xiangdong and Liang Shiyun, the couple who were "dead and revived," can't celebrate the New Year the way they used to!

Boss Lin has no real concept of holidays.

He only celebrates his own birthday and never marks any festivals throughout the year.

So it just passes by like any ordinary day.

In Lin Feng's words, all 365 days of the year are festivals.

Because of Lin Feng, his girlfriends rarely bring up birthdays.

It's fine to stay clueless; why remind oneself of getting a year older?

As long as you don't celebrate a birthday, you'll forever be eighteen!

Yang Caiwei has already told everyone that during the Spring Festival, they'll celebrate at the Sihe Courtyard in Yanjing.

Then everyone can get together properly.

At that moment Lin Feng suddenly realized that having elders at home really makes it lively!

Thinking it over, if his parents weren't still alive, his girlfriends wouldn't be able to gather like that.

Not to mention having fun together.

Unlike before, this year Lin Feng doesn't have to run from place to place; his schedule is packed for the whole Spring Festival.

By now Lin Feng has already returned to Yanjing.

The Sihe Courtyard has already become bustling in advance.

The three Bei sisters—Bei HuaRong, Bei LuHua and Bei YuYao—have no rules at all about being concubines.

Like children, they quickly start playing with ten kids together.

"I think we should just stop having more; we can raise these three as our daughters!"

Liang Shishi watches the Bei triplets' childish behavior, shakes her head and says.

Lin Feng can't help but smile.

He's actually quite proud of it.

He now has every type of woman around him.

Liang Shishi is a bit upset because Lin Jingru has been missing for over ten days.

At that time she was proudly sharing parenting tips in the mothers' group.

Unexpectedly, within two days Lin Jingru started causing trouble.

And it wasn't a trivial matter.

Liang Shishi only learned it while chatting, and her face felt burning hot at the time.

She almost wanted to grab Lin Jingru and, like a little witch, punish her the way she would punish Lin Chang'e, hanging Lin Jingru up and beating her!

For a moment the daughter couldn't find anyone to vent her anger on.

So Lin Feng became the punching bag.

She seized Lin Feng, lectured him for three days, and only then let her anger subside.

"Lin Jingru will be back soon; are you still angry at her?"

Lin Feng glanced at Liang Shishi and asked with a smile.

Liang Shishi snorted coldly, "When she returns, watch how I deal with her!"

"Enough! You've already taken it out on me; spare the child! She's still so young…"

Lin Feng finished, and Liang Shishi rolled her eyes, "Never again!"

Lin Feng chuckled, "You're just hoping Lin Jingru makes a mistake, right? When we were reasoning, who said that? Want me to copy it? Little rascal, you're really getting stronger…"

Before he could finish, Liang Shishi squeezed Lin Feng's arm and twisted it hard.

Then she stamped her foot, turned, and walked away quickly.

Now that there are so many people in the Sihe Courtyard, being heard is too embarrassing.

Now that there are so many people in the Sihe Courtyard, being heard by others would be too embarrassing.

The children love the New Year the most.

Besides the bustle, it's also because they can receive red‑envelope money.

There are still several days left until the New Year,

Lin Chang'e and Lin Baobao start counting on their fingers, calculating how much red‑envelope money they'll get this year.

Grandparents will definitely give red envelopes, as will parents and all those concubines.

A little from each adds up to a lot.

"Lin Shiyi, I did the math; the red‑envelope money we can get this year is less than a hundred million!"

Lin Baobao frowned and said.

"Why do you need that much money?"

Lin Shiyi asked.

Lin Baobao said: "Of course the more money the better! Have you seen Concubine Caiwei and Concubine Miao Miao? They have lots of cash; it's all their private savings, apparently they started stashing it since they were kids."

Lin Shiyi slightly frowned, nodded, "Indeed, girls should save more money so they won't be mistreated after marriage."

Lin Shi Yi slightly furrowed his eyebrows and nodded, "Also, girls should save more money, lest they be bullied after they get married."

Bei HuaRong laughed and said, "Lin Shiyi, your wife will also come then; your wife doesn't have much money, are you going to bully her?"

Lin Shiyi shook his head and said, "No! My money is her money."

As soon as the words fell, the three Bei sisters couldn't help but laugh, praising Lin Shiyi as a good man.

Lin Shiyi scratched his head weakly and said, "We're still young!"

At that moment, a car horn sounded in the Sihe Courtyard's backyard.

Then Lin Jingru's voice came, "I'm back!"

The voice was full of bravado!

One can imagine Lin Jingru at this moment standing with hands on hips, looking smug.

A group of children quickly ran toward where the voice came from.

Even Da Hei and Er Hei joined in the fun.

Sure enough, at the backyard parking lot, Lin Jingru stood with both hands on her hips, a smug expression on her face.

"Lin Jingru, you're really impressive!"

"Lin Jingru, you've really outdone yourself this time!"

"I want to do like you, but I don't dare!"

…

Everyone gathered around Lin Jingru, showering her with compliments.

Lin Jingru greatly enjoyed the atmosphere, feeling she had finally regained her former status.

After a good half‑day, everyone finally fell silent.

Lin Jingru laughed and said to Lin Shiyi, "Lin Shiyi, look who's arrived! Ding‑ding‑ding~"

Saying that, Lin Jingru opened the car door.

Ji Youwei was sitting in the back seat of the car.

Lin Shiyi smiled.

In fact, he had already noticed Ji Youwei sitting in the car.

He didn't expect Ji Youwei to arrive early.

From now on, it could be peaceful for a few days.

With Ji Youwei present, he could take her to a quiet place to chat.

It won't be like now, being dragged into the commotion by Lin Chang'e and Lin Baobao.

Lin Shiyi couldn't understand how dad managed to endure such days.

One woman equals three thousand ducks; dad has over thirty people each like three thousand ducks!

Of course, mother doesn't count; mother isn't that naggy.

"Dad!"

Suddenly, Lin Jingru saw Lin Feng.

Then she cried out in delight and lunged toward Lin Feng.

Lin Feng lifted Lin Jingru in his arms, and Lin Jingru planted a kiss on Lin Feng's face,

then whispered in Lin Feng's ear, "Thank you, Dad!"

This time avoiding punishment was entirely thanks to dad's effort.

"It's enough to know it's dad's doing, I didn't waste my love on you; go play with them! Dad still has business!"

Lin Feng set Lin Jingru down.

In front of the children, Lin Feng now always restrains himself, not showing special closeness to any one.

Otherwise he'd overturn a pile of vinegar jars.

Those jars spilling is fine, but there's a huge vinegar vat behind them!

The children continued to play.

Yang Caiwei came over, taking Ji Youwei to meet Lin Xiangdong and Liang Shiyun.

At this moment they still couldn't hand Ji Youwei over to Lin Shiyi for him to play with her.

Although the Ji Family has declined, it remains very particular.

This time Ji Youwei comes for the New Year, and the Lin Family will treat her as an honored guest.

The three Bei sisters who had just been playing with the children were called away by Yang Caiwei.

When guests arrive at home, one sometimes needs to be a bit careful.

They must not let the guests notice these three lively, childish antics.

Lin Feng sat in his chair, watching the frolicking children, when a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

He felt a sense of achievement, yet also an illusion of suddenly aging.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

He took out the phone and saw a message from Bai Ying.

Lin Feng briefly furrowed his brows, got up, and hurriedly left the backyard.

"It's a text from Bai Yiniang to dad."

Lin Chang'e said with a smug expression.

"What did Bai Yiniang say?"

Lin Baobao asked curiously.

Lin Chang'e shook her head, "I only saw the character 'Bai'; it must be a text from Bai Yiniang."

Lin Shiyi frowned and said, "Bai Yiniang said there's a very troublesome matter and she must see dad."

Lin Shiyi's eyesight inherited Lin Feng's ability, and is even stronger than Lin Chang'e's.

"Let's go take a look!"

Lin Chang'e widened her eyes and said.

"Isn't this bad?"

Lin Baobao scratched his head and said.

Song Jiaren nodded, "Children eavesdropping on adults is impolite."

As soon as the words fell, Lin Chang'e ran toward the direction where Lin Feng had left,

She didn't care about politeness at all!

The car that Bai Ying drove wasn't the one she usually used before.

It was a black Benz sedan.

"This car is borrowed from a friend."

After Lin Feng got into the car, Bai Ying said lightly.

While speaking, she rolled down the window.

"What's the matter?"

Lin Feng frowned and asked.

Bai Ying said, "I'm no longer the commander of the Heavy Hammer Squad; they've replaced me."

Lin Feng smiled, "Isn't that just perfect?"

Bai Ying forced a bitter smile, "It's not that simple; now someone is guarding me as if I'm a thief, even sending people to watch me constantly."

Lin Feng took a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

Bai Ying picked up a lighter and lit it for Lin Feng.

The car instantly filled with the scent of medicinal herbs.

The smoke Lin Feng is now inhaling was prepared by Guo Yanqiu using Chinese herbs.

It not only has the same invigorating effect as tobacco, but also lacks tobacco's toxic side effects.

Lin Feng understood that Bai Ying's secret visit and her texting on the Sihe Courtyard grounds meant the situation was serious.

Sure enough, whatever she worried about showed up.

The one people fear is not Bai Ying, but Lin Feng.

"I can't help you with anything now."

Seeing Lin Feng remain silent, Bai Ying said again.

Lin Feng shook his head, "I told you early on not to do it, but you didn't listen."

Bai Ying pursed her lips, "I was just trying to help you! Besides, this is also a profession I like."

"Who is it?"

Lin Feng asked.

Bai Ying said lightly, "A woman, a very proud woman…"

After a brief introduction, Bai Ying took a document from her bosom and handed it to Lin Feng.

For Bai Ying, this was already a violation.

But Bai Ying can no longer worry about that.

Because not only her, but many superiors think this operation against Lin Feng is extremely reckless and brainless.

Lin Feng didn't look at the document, slipped it into his pocket, and smiled, "Since the New Year is almost here, I won't go back; I'll stay here for the holidays!"

Bai Ying nodded.

Going back later would be extremely troublesome.

It's very likely that I won't be able to get out in a short time.

After talking for a few minutes, the two opened the car door and got out.

Bai Ying went to see Lin Xiangdong and Liang Shiyun, to greet the elderly couple.

Lin Feng returned to the Shufang.

Seeing the house full of books, many of which the big boss had read and returned, Lin Feng shook his head.

This time might be a crisis, but also an opportunity.

Of course, in Lin Feng's view, there's really no crisis at all.

These years he has kept his secret well, with no major leaks.

And Bai Ying has also been a great help in this regard.

After sitting down, Lin Feng took out the information Bai Ying had given him.

It was an introduction about a certain person.

And it was a woman.

Lin Feng wondered if this year he had offended the Peach Blossom, why women kept causing him trouble.

First it was Eunuch Shi, then this woman named Feng Xuelan.

She wasn't a beauty, but a middle‑aged woman who looked very austere.

As his current opponent and lacking in looks, Lin Feng was quite displeased.

Combining some of the data Bai Ying told him, Lin Feng shook his head.

Feng Xuelan is simply unfit to be his opponent.

At that moment, a flash of light streaked across outside the window.

Lin Feng rolled his eyes and glanced; it was a glowing bow.

It was either the decoration on Lin Chang'e's hairpin or a gift from her mother, set with a ruby.

Lin Chang'e was still thinking that this year's New Year's money was scarce, yet she didn't realize that just this ruby already covered half of her small goal.

If this little fellow is so curious…

Lin Feng lifted the corner of his mouth, placed the documents on the table, took up a pen and circled a few words, then opened the door and walked out.

It's the New Year, and he doesn't want to be bothered by these matters.

Since someone is curious, let the curious one deal with it!

In Bai Ying's view, she is a hard-to-handle woman.

That is determined by the position Bai Ying occupies.

But Lin Feng is different.

Lin Feng and Bai Ying and the others are not in the same circle, so they are naturally not bound by certain rules.

……

Shortly after Lin Feng left, Lin Chang'e slipped into the Shufang.

She pretended to look for a book, but the phone in her hand had its camera mode turned on.

She passed the desk several times, photographing the documents.

Then she randomly chose a book and left.

"Hoo~"

After returning among the children, Lin Chang'e let out a breath.

At this point, even Lin Shiyi also became curious.

Lin Chang'e turned her head and scanned, "This isn't a place to talk; let's go back to the Secret Base to speak!"

"Mm!"

Lin Baobao nodded. Qianqian Moho

The Secret Base Lin Chang'e mentioned is a highly soundproof basement in the Sihe Courtyard.

The basement is carpeted with thick rugs and equipped with various fitness machines.

According to Cai Wei Yiniang, this is the place where Dad helps them practice yoga.

Speaking here, the sound doesn't travel out, making it an ideal spot to plot.

Lin Chang'e took out her phone and handed it to Lin Shiyi.

After Lin Shiyi finished looking, he passed it to Lin Baobao.

Then it was passed along one by one.

Those who understood, like Lin Jingru, got it at a glance.

There were also those who didn't, like Lin Donghu, whose face was utterly bewildered.

Lin Shiyi frowned and said, "Someone is scheming against our Family Head!"

"What does that mean?"

Lin Donghu asked.

Lin Jingru said, "Someone wants our family's money, our family's Enhancement Agent, our family's Da Hei and Er Hei, our family's Jasmine ship, our family's Jasmine Island!"

"What the—!? I'll kill him!"

Lin Donghu got angry as soon as he heard that.
