32: Chapter 32 The Lin Couple's Plan
Lin Baixuan opened her mouth in surprise.
If she didn't want to expose the fact that she could hear Lin Xiao's inner thoughts, she would probably have covered Lin Xiao's mouth and dragged him away directly.
Her brain raced, desperately trying to think of how to change the subject.
Ask Lin Xiao if he was hungry?
But they had just finished dinner before Lin Yu came home.
Ask Lin Xiao if he was sleepy?
It was only past eight o'clock; asking that would be too abrupt.
Lin Baixuan had always thought of herself as quite smart, but now she found that she couldn't even come up with a reason!
But seeing Su Xiumei's expression getting worse and worse, Lin Baixuan realized it seemed to be too late.
"Heh, Lin Qingshan, I was curious before, who did Lin Yu learn this online dating habit from? Could it really be you?"
There was a smile in Su Xiumei's eyes, but it didn't reach them; instead, it revealed a hint of coldness.
Lin Qingshan quickly said righteously: "How is that possible? I'm not his biological father! It has nothing to do with me!"
"Oh? Is that so? Do you mean to say you've never engaged in this messy stuff before?"
Although Su Xiumei was asking, her tone was very certain.
This left Lin Qingshan at a loss for how to explain it for a moment.
"No, really, no!"
Lin Qingshan felt like crying but had no tears; he couldn't clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
But he really didn't remember ever playing at online dating.
Let alone online dating, he wasn't even very good with the internet up until now.
With so many things to do at the company every day, how could he have the time?
Besides, his wife at home was virtuous and his daughters were sensible; unless he had water in his brain, he wouldn't risk destroying all of this to engage in some online dating!
Thinking of this, he glared unhappily at Lin Xiao, who was walking in front.
What is wrong with this kid!
He just thought the authenticity of his inner thoughts was high, and now he had created such a scene for him!
Lin Xiao vaguely felt a chill down his back.
Looking back, he saw Su Xiumei with a cold expression, while Lin Qingshan was smiling awkwardly.
[Haha, Dad is indeed henpecked!]
[Dad has probably forgotten it himself. Back when the internet had just started to become popular, he thought about using this "special" method to add some "little marital fun" between the two of them.]
[It's just a pity that Mom never fell for it; no matter how much Dad flirted, she wouldn't take the bait!]
...
This time, it was Lin Baixuan's turn to cover her forehead.
She lowered her head and glanced at her parents without changing her expression.
In her impression, her parents came from prestigious families, and the two of them were always in a state of mutual respect, relatively reserved.
She didn't expect that there was such an episode!
Hearing Lin Xiao's inner thoughts, Lin Qingshan finally remembered!
At that time, he saw that the way young people dated online was very novel, plus he heard from his subordinates that couples should have little surprises from time to time.
That was why he made a secondary account, wanting to engage in online dating with Su Xiumei.
But unexpectedly, Su Xiumei couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him at all.
Often he would send a dozen messages, and Su Xiumei would reply with one, and it was the kind that went in circles.
After a few days, he was blocked.
This made him both happy and disappointed at the time...
Su Xiumei vaguely remembered this matter too.
Upon learning that the person who "harassed" her back then was actually Lin Qingshan, she felt a bit awkward.
The most embarrassing part wasn't the memory.
It was that their childish behavior was actually known by their son and daughter!
"Um, I suddenly remembered I have something to do at the company; I'm going to go work overtime for a while."
Lin Qingshan casually found an excuse to escape.
Su Xiumei also slapped her arm, "That's right, your Aunt Liu called me to play cards today; they are one short, so I'll head over there first. You guys go home by yourselves."
After speaking, she also left quickly.
Lin Baixuan naturally knew why her parents suddenly had things to do.
But Lin Xiao didn't know.
He just stared blankly at the backs of Lin Qingshan and Su Xiumei as they left.
These two people are so strange.
...
In the following days, Lin Yu finally quieted down.
It seemed like he realized his mistake and behaved very obediently every day.
Lin Qingshan and Su Xiumei were not fooled by this appearance of Lin Yu.
To be precise, Lin Yu no longer had much credibility in their hearts.
He caused trouble time and time again.
If they hadn't heard Lin Xiao's inner thoughts and tried their best to stop him, the Lin family's reputation would have likely been ruined by Lin Yu long ago.
To avoid such things from happening again, The Lin Couple discussed a solution.
That was to send Lin Yu abroad.
Anyway, after Lin Yu failed his college entrance exam, he had pestered them about wanting to go abroad.
At that time, they felt that Lin Yu was not mature enough and wouldn't be able to take good care of himself abroad, so they would rather spend more money to have him study at a university in the country.
Now it seems that was a wrong decision they made.
Fortunately, it was not too late to make amends.
They could send Lin Yu abroad first, and after they had all adjusted to it, they would sever ties with Lin Yu.
That's right.
Severing ties.
They might have been reluctant before, but given Lin Yu's performance recently, they had to be willing to let go.
Even if it was just a superficial severing of ties, it would be fine to continue supporting him secretly in private.
In any case, they couldn't let Lin Yu continue to cause trouble.
The Lin Couple did not discuss this plan with anyone else in the family, thinking to wait until Lin Yu had been abroad for a year or two before slowly proceeding.
But unexpectedly, Lin Yu, who was usually not very smart, keenly sensed the change in his parents' attitude toward him this time.
After eavesdropping a few times, he learned of their thoughts.
This made him both angry and afraid.
He didn't want to leave, and he couldn't leave!
As long as he remained in this house, he still had a chance to make a comeback.
Once he left, he would have nothing!
After thinking for a long time, Lin Yu thought of a solution.
That day, he went to the underground bar again and found Young Master Bai Feng.
"Brother-in-law, you must help me this time!"
As soon as he entered the door, Lin Yu said impatiently.
Young Master Bai Feng didn't take it seriously at first and waved his hand, wanting him to drink or driving him away.
But this time, Lin Yu didn't have the submissiveness and fawning he had before in front of Young Master Bai Feng; his eyes were full of malice.
"Young Master Bai Feng, if you don't help me, then don't blame me for being heartless!"
Hearing this, Young Master Bai Feng's expression also darkened.
Raising his eyes to stare at Lin Yu, he said coldly: "Lin Yu, do you know what you are saying?"
Lin Yu leaned back on the sofa and forcefully placed the wine bottle on the table, "If you help me, I will continue to help you in the future. If you don't... heh, then don't count on marrying my sister!"
