Back to 1984: Let's Work Hard Together to Raise The Kids!-Chapter 308: Xiao Bai’s Attitude

The couple took turns giving Xiao Jincheng a thorough scolding before they left.

Maybe it was because he had been scolded too much, Xiao Jincheng didn’t act as stupidly as before. Instead, he went to take a shower and shave, returning to his previous self.

During dinner, he looked at Guo Lingyue and said hoarsely, "I’ve decided to venture south. You stay home and take care of the baby and Yuanyuan."

Guo Lingyue’s hand trembled. Although she was unwilling, she thoughtfully nodded her head, "Okay, I will take good care of myself and the child at home. When you come back, if you need startup capital, just let me know. I can ask my parents and older brother for help."

Originally, Xiao Jincheng held resentment towards Guo Lingyue. Upon hearing her words, his expression finally softened a bit.

Seeing that his attitude improved, Guo Lingyue continued to express herself, "Have you thought about what you want to do? If you don’t have any ideas, you can discuss it with my brother. Our family is in business, we definitely have connections. You can start a big company, make lots of money, and then we won’t have to rely on family for living expenses."

She hadn’t worked all along; Xiao Jincheng was in the system, and his salary wasn’t enough to cope with social obligations. Their monthly living expenses were all provided by the Xiao family.

They were accustomed to relying on family; they didn’t dare go against it. If they could earn their own money and achieve economic independence, at least they could be freer, like Xiao Jinlin, having enough confidence to stand up to their parents.

Xiao Jincheng’s gloomy mood improved significantly because of these words, and his mind started to become active.

Indeed! Why does he have to continue down a dark path? He’s clearly unyielding to others! Now the opportunity is right in front of him; it’s the perfect time for a fresh start. In the future, he could create a business of his own and even outshine Xiao Jinlin!

Imagining the future blueprint, Xiao Jincheng became vibrant again. He emotionally held Guo Lingyue’s hand and said sincerely, "Lingyue, only you truly understand me. Once I find my footing in the south, I’ll bring you and the child over. Without elder’s pressure, you can comfortably be a wealthy lady."

"Hmm!" Guo Lingyue also started dreaming.

Thus, Xiao Jincheng began to frequently interact with the Guo family.

Xiao Jinlin merely laughed off the news, dismissing it.

Getting into business? Someone who can’t find his way in a career wants to do business? Not afraid of losing everything! He was curious to see what acts Xiao Jincheng could pull off!

In order to appease the Xiao family elders, Xiao Jinlin returned to An City early to pick up Chen Xinyue and their son and bring them back to the capital.

Mother and child were immediately brought to the old residence by Old Fang after getting off the plane.

Old Fang couldn’t suppress his smile along the way, exaggerating with praise every time the child murmured a word, truly fulfilling emotional value.

Chen Xinyue was amused and laughed out loud.

The car arrived at the old residence.

The old couple of the Xiao family were incredibly thrilled to see Chen Xinyue holding the child.

One was busy holding the child, while the other was busy asking the maid to cook and notifying Mu Qinglian and He Xue to come over.

The Xiao family matriarch hugged the child tightly, calling them her precious heart, and asked during a spare moment, "Why did you come back suddenly? I thought it would be summer before we see you!"

Chen Xinyue’s soft face carried a gentle smile, "Grandmother, Jinlin brought us back early. He said Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, and Mom would be delighted to see the child."

Grandmother Xiao was taken aback, feeling a bit relieved yet sentimental, tears unconsciously forming in her eyes, "Despite this child’s cold demeanor, not speaking much, his heart holds us! Alas! Everyone says family scandals shouldn’t be exposed, but you need to know this before you hear it from others."

She then laid out the whole story of what Xiao Jincheng and Guo Lingyue had done.

Even Chen Xinyue, who had mentally prepared herself, was taken aback, "Grandmother, are they crazy? Taking such risks just to have a child?"

In her memory, Xiao Jincheng cherished his reputation and wasn’t impulsive like that. This matter seemed odd no matter how she looked at it; she couldn’t pinpoint exactly where but it felt off.

The Xiao family matriarch kept from getting angry by looking at her great-grandson, but she couldn’t help scolding Guo Lingyue, "Jincheng may not have great talents, but I know his temperament. Without Guo Lingyue whispering in his ear, he wouldn’t do such foolish things!

Anyway, since they chose the child, they need to bear the consequences of their choice. You two are more worry-free, without all that mess."

Chen Xinyue quickly reassured her, "Grandmother, we promise not to cause you any trouble!"

"That’s more like it!"

As it was getting off work, Xiao Bai and his wife, along with Xiao Sheng and his spouse, arrived one after the other.

Neither Xiao Bai nor Xiao Sheng had seen the child before, and the two large men were enamored with the baby, unable to see enough.

Especially Xiao Bai, since this is his eldest grandson, and he is healthy, chubby, good-looking, and adorable, fulfilling all grandparents’ fantasies about grandchildren.

Thus overwhelmed, the next day he surprisingly came to the alley before work, bringing a huge Ping’an lock for the child, gold-embedded in jade.

Chen Xinyue’s mind went blank.

Since her son left early for work, Xiao Bai was a bit awkward, turning around three times before leaving, reluctantly gazing at his grandson.

Chen Xinyue felt heartache for him.

Once Xiao Bai left, she immediately closed the door, holding back laughter while calling Xiao Jinlin.

She also shared this amusing story with Lin Qin.

At that moment, Lin Qin and Lin Ying were planning to go to Guangdong Province.

Mainly to accompany Xu Jian to meet Tang Jing’s parents and discuss the marriage.

The two traveled to Xu Jian’s company, and this was Lin Ying’s first time visiting her eldest son’s company. Seeing the imposing building, Lin Ying’s eyes became dazed.

"My goodness, is the whole building Ah Jian’s?"

Lin Qin pulled her inside, "You can find out by asking Ah Jian when you meet him!"

When the two entered the lobby, they were stopped by two receptionists and a security guard.

"Do you have an appointment?"

"An appointment? Why would we need an appointment?" Lin Ying found it strange; when did meeting her son become so complicated?

The receptionist slightly curled her lips, politely explaining, "Our company has a rule; without an appointment, you can’t enter."

Lin Ying asked, "How to make an appointment?"

The woman beside her impatiently rolled her eyes, showing clear disdain.

The receptionist was momentarily taken aback, straightened herself, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"I’m looking for Xu Jian!" Lin Ying brazenly revealed her son’s name.

The receptionist’s look changed instantly, "You’re looking for our boss? You are..."

"I’m his mom!" Lin Ying proudly lifted her chin.

The two receptionists changed expressions, one suspiciously called Xu Jian’s office to report.
