Chapter 949: Chapter 244: Return to the Provincial City (Part 2)

In the end, Yu Jianhua simply said, "Impressive!"

Young Master Xu is already world-renowned. Currently, news about him is everywhere in the world, both East and West.

It can truly be said: Who in the world doesn’t know him?

"Xu Lin, have some tea!" Lin Yajing said.

"Thank you, Auntie."

Xu Lin picked up a disposable cup and took a sip of tea.

"Uncle, how have you been lately?"

"Everything’s as usual. It’s you who’s becoming more impressive!"

Yu Jianhua looked at Xu Lin with immense gratification. No matter what, Xu Lin was someone he watched grow up, almost like half a son to him. How could Yu Jianhua not be proud now that Xu Lin has come this far?

If he didn’t dislike boasting, Yu Jianhua would want to tell outsiders that Young Master Xu was someone he watched grow up.

"No matter how impressive I am out there, I’m still the same at home."

Xu Lin is now very accomplished. He already has the privilege of looking down on everyone.

But Xu Lin won’t do that. The higher he goes, the more Xu Lin values those pure emotions.

Such as friendships from youth, love not mixed with money or material, and the simple, ever-present familial bonds.

Xu Lin said to the two elders, "Though I’m very successful outside now, Uncle and Auntie don’t need to worry about these things. I’m almost the same as I was in high school, maybe just a bit more mature now."

Lin Yajing laughed and said, "You’ve grown up. We have to treat you like an adult now."

Everyone chatted in the living room for over ten minutes.

Then Lin Yajing suggested going out for dinner.

Tonight she had only prepared enough food for three, clearly not enough to entertain Xu Lin, so they decided to go out for a hearty meal instead.

The restaurant was an old establishment, claiming to be a twenty-year-old brand hotel.

It was quite crowded.

The meal was very sumptuous.

"Xu Lin, have some dishes!"

"Try this! And this too!"

"Eat more!"

During the meal, naturally, Yu Xinyan kept serving dishes to Xu Lin, and Yu Jianhua and Lin Yajing didn’t mind.

To be honest, the two of them couldn’t say anything.

After all, it’s about their daughter’s happiness, and the two elders know that there’s no second person in the world as outstanding as Xu Lin, not even close.

Dinner lasted for about an hour, filled with joy and harmony.

After dinner, everyone walked around for more than half an hour, then walked back to the neighborhood.

Xu Lin then said his goodbyes.

"Xu Lin, drive safely!"

"Ok."

Yu Xinyan waved her hand, watching Xu Lin leave, reluctant to part.

Lin Yajing said, "Xu Lin has left, dear."

"I know, Mom."

Yu Xinyan pursed her lips.

Actually, Yu Xinyan wanted to stay with Xu Lin tonight, but obviously couldn’t with her parents around.

Ever since she last saw Xu Lin before the New Year until today, it’s been half a year since they last saw each other. The amount of longing in her can only be imagined; a few words can’t fully express it.

Yu Jianhua then brought up, "How’s he with his girlfriend?"

"They seem to be doing well!"

Yu Xinyan said.

Actually, she’s quite familiar with Ning Yuhuan too. Last year, the two added each other on WeChat, and later had quite a few conversations, both about daily life and academics. Over time, they became quite acquainted. Ning Yuhuan likes to ask her about Xu Lin’s junior high and high school days.

Lin Yajing: "Yanyan, what about you?"

"I don’t know."

Yu Xinyan shook her head and said, "We’ll talk about it later. After all, Xu Lin and I are only twenty."

Yu Jianhua sighed and said, "Children will have their own fortunes. Your mom and I won’t intervene now. Where would we find another outstanding guy like Xu Lin? Besides, you wouldn’t like anyone else."

In the neighborhood, all the families know Yu Jianhua has a very beautiful and outstanding daughter. Many people have come with marriage proposals, but Yu Xinyan doesn’t like them. In the past year, Yu Jianhua didn’t refuse any proposal seekers.

At around ten in the evening, Xu Lin returned home.

"Xu Lin, when did you come back?"

Rong Xiyi didn’t know that Xu Lin was Young Master Xu, so she wouldn’t have imagined that the huge online presence was Xu Lin.

Seeing Xu Lin return, Rong Xiyi was so excited she almost jumped up.

Know this, Xu Lin had been away for five months!

Now it’s mid-August. Just over half a month until the new month starts.

"I just came back from abroad not long ago. Sorry, I was too busy before."

"Hmph, you big meanie!" Rong Xiyi pinched Xu Lin’s arm.

"Mommy, Xu Lin is back!"

Rong Xiyi shouted.

"Xu Lin, where have you been lately? Not answering calls, not replying to messages, and you didn’t take your final exams, so you failed all of them!"

Ms. Ren came out of the bathroom.

"Busy. Ms. Ren, long time no see, and I’ve noticed you’ve become prettier!"

"Prettier? I’m starting to get wrinkles."

"Time never defeats true beauty. The natural state of aging, even with wrinkles, looks good on you."

"Trying to flatter me now, are you?"

Ms. Ren glared at Xu Lin, but ultimately, he was her precious child, and she didn’t say more.

Seeing Xu Lin safe and sound in front of her was enough for Ms. Ren.

"Recently, a friend of a friend, Mrs. Wang, you knew her when you were little, she even changed your diapers once. Her friend’s son bought a supercar and got into an accident, ended up in ICU, and only turned the corner to safety a few days ago."

Ms. Ren said, "That’s why I think supercars are no good, especially for young people. They feel so proud driving them, but accidents happen if they’re not careful. When you drive, you must be cautious, never try to show off. If something happens, even if you have billions, it won’t help!"

"Ok."

"Say you know!"

"I know."

Xu Lin laughed and said, "Enough talking, I’ll go take a shower."

"Hurry up and shower!"

Ms. Ren knows Xu Lin thinks she’s nagging, but she’s used to it. Her son can be unreliable sometimes.

Xu Lin quickly finished his shower.

He came out of the bathroom to find Ms. Ren and Rong Xiyi in the living room watching a TV series.

Xu Lin noticed they were still watching "June of the Human World," a series adapted from his novel.

This TV series aired back in March, on the evening Xu Lin flew abroad, and quickly became a sensation. It might end up in the top three this year, possibly even first.

Of course, it’s now August, and the series had long finished airing.

Ms. Ren and the others were watching it on Toilet Channel’s website.

Seeing Xu Lin coming out, Ms. Ren couldn’t help but comment, "The male and female leads have your name and Chi Linyue’s name. It feels weird."

Xu Lin laughed, "See, doesn’t that create a sense of immersion?"

Ms. Ren said, "But the male lead isn’t as handsome as you, and the female lead isn’t as pretty as Chi Linyue."

It’s not that Ms. Ren has a filter for her son. Xu Lin is genuinely handsome.

Xu Lin is twenty now, he’s matured a bit, becoming even more handsome, with a stronger presence.

The TV series male lead is Zhang Linghe, and compared to Xu Lin, there’s no comparison.

Furthermore, the female lead is Dilraba; Ms. Ren thinks she’s just so-so. She met Chi Linyue before and even had dinner with her. To Ms. Ren, Chi Linyue is like a celestial being, not exaggerating, but genuinely noble and astonishing.

In this lifetime, as far as Ms. Ren knows, she’s met one woman of this level: Chi Linyue.

"Mom, is Chi Linyue very beautiful?" Rong Xiyi quickly asked.

"She’s indeed beautiful, indescribably so."

Ms. Ren tried to describe it, but sometimes, language falls short of capturing a woman’s breathtaking beauty. Phrases like "as graceful as startled swans, as radiant as dragons, fish diving bird hiding, moon eclipsing flower closing" are too ethereal. Who talks like this in daily life?

Ms. Ren also added, "Moreover, her aura is particularly noble, and her family background must be exceptional. Ordinary families can’t raise such women."

"Her father holds a high position in the Capital City, her grandfather’s a retired Sealed Border Official, coming from a noble background," Xu Lin explained.

"Is her family background really that impressive?"

Ms. Ren is not a woman without experience. The most distinguished official she truly knows, not just having met him, but knows for a fact, is Yu Jianhua.

Hearing Xu Lin talk about Chi Linyue’s family background, Ms. Ren was understandably taken aback.

"Yes, quite impressive," Xu Lin nodded, though Pei Danqing’s family background is even more formidable.

Of course, the strongest now is Xu Lin, he’s about to establish his own genealogy.

"Do you still keep in contact with her?"

"Yes, frequently."

Xu Lin was pondering internally how he’d explain his many women to Ms. Ren later.

Especially when he might bring back a bunch of kids in the future.

Despite his impressive status outside, Xu Lin is still very respectful towards Ms. Ren.
