53: Chapter 53 Three Daughters-in-Law

"This driving school, I know it. The principal is a distant cousin of a buddy of mine. I'm calling him right now!"

"Boss, you're mighty! Are you planning to book the whole place for the sisters-in-law?"

About ten minutes later, a middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle, wearing a dress shirt and trousers, came running over, his forehead covered in sweat. He locked eyes with the imposing Lin Yu instantly, his face plastered with a professional, fawning smile.

"Young Master Lin! Oh, Young Master Lin, hello, hello! I'm the principal, Principal Jia Dali. How do you have time to come here personally?" Principal Jia Dali bent his waist like a cooked shrimp, his attitude as respectful as could be.

The surrounding students were instantly dumbfounded, eyes wide, jaws practically hitting the floor. They whispered to each other: "Damn, what's the deal with those two beauties? How could they make the principal run himself ragged?" "Who is this guy? He's too awesome!"

Lin Yu nodded indifferently and got straight to the point: "Principal Jia, my sister and my girlfriend are learning to drive here, and I'm a bit worried. So, I want to buy this driving school."

Once these words were spoken, the whole place went silent. Everyone was stunned by this simple and brutal "money power."

Upon hearing this, Principal Jia Dali's eyes brightened like two large lightbulbs, and his voice trembled with excitement: "Buy... buy it? No problem! Absolutely no problem! Young Master Lin, when is it convenient for you? Shall we go to the company to discuss the details?"

"No need. You can go directly to Junlin Capital to find my assistant; they will talk to you." Lin Yu waved his hand, looking like he didn't want to waste any more words.

"Yes, yes, yes! I'll go right now!" Principal Jia Dali felt as if he had been pardoned. He turned to leave, but suddenly remembering something, he hurriedly ordered his subordinates, "Quick! Go cut the best chilled watermelon and send it to Young Master Lin and the two young ladies!"

Before long, a few pieces of red, seedless chilled watermelon were delivered, sweet and refreshing. The two instructors who had whistled at Lin Wan and Su Qingxue earlier were now hiding not far away, secretly rejoicing that they hadn't taken any action.

"Hehe, Old Lin, your move is too flashy!" The fatty said while chewing on watermelon, speaking indistinctly, "When I get the chance, I'll send my Huihui over to learn to drive so I can bask in your glory too!"

"Sure, having one more person for company won't be boring!"

Lin Wan and Su Qingxue were a bit embarrassed by Lin Yu's sudden overbearing move, but they felt sweet inside. They sat back in the training car, and under the trembling guidance of the instructor, they actually picked it up quite quickly, driving the car quite decently.

Lin Yu looked at the side profiles of the two beauties focusing on driving and chuckled.

After hanging around the driving school for half the afternoon, until the sun set, Lin Yu finally took the two satisfied women and prepared to leave. Amidst the envious, jealous, and hateful gazes of the onlookers, the Cullinan and another SUV carrying bodyguards slowly drove away from the driving school.

In the car, Lin Yu called Tang Man and Director Chu Yao separately, telling them to go directly to his parents' old residential complex for dinner after work.

"Mom and Dad's cooking will definitely be sumptuous tonight, you guys need to come early to grab some." Lin Yu said to the other end of the phone with a hint of doting in his tone.

...

The stairwell of the old residential complex was filled with a stale smell of cooking fumes and dampness. There was no elevator, and climbing up already made people break into a light sweat. Lin Yu walked in front, while Tang Man and Director Chu Yao followed, holding hands.

Director Chu Yao was wearing a black silk camisole today, covered by a very thin sun-protective shirt. Her expression remained indifferent, as if this sultry weather couldn't affect her in the slightest. Tang Man was in a fitting professional suit, gentle and dignified, with a few fine beads of sweat on her forehead, yet she still maintained her elegance.

"We're here, take it slow." Lin Yu led them to the door, handed them the gifts to carry, and took out the keys to open the door.

As the door opened, the aroma of braised pork wafted out. Wang Xiulan was wearing a cool floral short-sleeved shirt and was just coming out of the kitchen with the last plate of smashed cucumber. Her gaze fell on the two girls behind Lin Yu.

"Oh, Manman is here!" Wang Xiulan's eyes lit up instantly, her face full of familiar smiles, completely ignoring her own son, "Oh my, it's so hot, come in, come in! Jianguo, hurry up and turn the fan up higher!"

Then she looked at Director Chu Yao, her eyes lighting up again: "You must be Yaoyao, the girl is so pretty, no wonder that brat mentions you often!"

"Auntie! Lin Yu said you were cooking today, so Yaoyao and I came over to mooch a meal! Please don't mind!" Tang Man greeted with a smile, and Director Chu Yao followed up by saying, "Hello, Auntie!"

"Haha, hey! Good, good, why would I mind? It'd be better if you came every day! Go inside, sit down and we can eat!" Wang Xiulan's mouth couldn't stop smiling. She took the gifts and complained with a laugh.

The two girls walked inside and greeted Lins Father as well.

Lin Jianguo was wearing a large undershirt, holding a cattail leaf fan and panting as he fanned himself. Hearing the greeting, he hurriedly turned the fan toward the door, nodding at the two girls with some awkwardness: "Hey, good, good, sit down, sit down, the room is small, don't mind it."

At this moment, a group of people was already sitting in the narrow living room.

His sister Lin Wan was wearing a loose T-shirt, sitting cross-legged in the corner of the sofa, blowing a small fan. His best friend, the fatty, was slumped at the other end of the sofa without any image, chatting warmly with Su Qingxue next to him. Seeing Tang Man and Director Chu Yao come over, they all waved to each other.

Eight people sat around the coffee table, some on the sofa, some on small stools, very casually.

"Come on, pick up your chopsticks! Don't be polite!" Wang Xiulan ordered.

The fatty was the first to pick up a piece of braised pork, and while eating, he said indistinctly: "Auntie, this braised pork of yours is amazing! Old Lin, you brat are truly blessed, hugging left and right... Ouch!"

Lin Wan kicked the fatty hard under the table and glared at him: "Don't talk while eating! Shut your mouth!"

The fatty chuckled, not annoyed, and turned to give a thumbs up to the three women: "Sister Man, Sister Yao, Sister Xue, with you three sitting here, I feel like our old house has gone up a notch in class!"

Director Chu Yao looked at him indifferently, the corners of her mouth slightly curled: "Just eat your food."

Lin Yu saw Director Chu Yao holding her bowl with some restraint, so he picked up the tenderest piece of fish belly and put it in her bowl, his movements as natural as if he had done it countless times: "Try this, Mom's fish is also delicious."

Director Chu Yao looked at the fish in her bowl, a flash of warmth in her cold eyes, and said softly to Lin Yu: "Thank you."

Wang Xiulan's gaze scanned back and forth among the three girls, a smile hanging on her face unknowingly.

These three daughters-in-law were simply top-notch, one better than the other, and looking at them made her feel comfortable.

Su Qingxue was the most quiet, occasionally giving Lin Yu a sweet smile. That kind of girl-next-door intimacy made one feel like a spring breeze. Wang Xiulan liked her more the more she looked at her, and couldn't help picking up a piece of shrimp and putting it in Su Qingxue's bowl: "Xiaoxue, eat more, look how thin you are. This girl is so quiet, so lovable."

Tang Man was the most sensible, chatting with Wang Xiulan while eating, from work to life, gentle and decent, making Wang Xiulan overjoyed. Wang Xiulan smiled until her eyes narrowed into a line: "Manman is so thoughtful, next time Auntie goes to the mall, I must call you to help me advise."

And Director Chu Yao... Wang Xiulan felt this girl was special the more she looked at her. Although she didn't talk much, that stunning face was even prettier than the big stars on TV, and with a slight smile, it was just...

"Xiaochu, come, try the braised pork Auntie made. This was bought by your Uncle early in the morning, queuing up for pork belly!" Wang Xiulan enthusiastically picked up the biggest piece of meat for Director Chu Yao, her eyes full of appreciation, "This girl is so pretty, like something out of a poster. Sitting here, our broken house is glowing!"

Director Chu Yao was a bit flattered and showed a faint smile. Although it was very light, it was as stunning as ice and snow melting. She said in a low, shy voice: "Thank you, Auntie, your cooking is delicious."

This smile made Wang Xiulan's eyes go straight. She turned to Lin Jianguo and said happily: "Old Lin, look at our Xiaoyu's taste, tsk tsk tsk, what kind of fairy girls are these!"

Lin Jianguo was drinking in the corner, and looking at these three beautiful girls, he couldn't stop smiling, nodding repeatedly: "That's right, that's right, our Xiaoyu takes after me, good taste!"

Lin Yu chuckled. He was busy peeling shrimp for Tang Man, putting a piece of braised pork for Director Chu Yao, and passing tissues to Su Qingxue, busy and happy.

Although the three girls had different styles, they showed great tolerance and tacit understanding in front of Lin Yu.

Su Qingxue smiled quietly and poured a bowl of soup for Lin Yu; Tang Man wiped the corner of Lin Yu's mouth gently; Director Chu Yao didn't speak, but silently filled the empty wine glass in front of Lin Yu.

The fatty was responsible for livening up the atmosphere, telling jokes from time to time, making everyone laugh, while Lin Wan entertained the sisters-in-law.

After the meal, they ate some watermelon. Wang Xiulan chatted with Tang Man, Director Chu Yao, and Su Qingxue for a while, then made an appointment to visit and gather more often. Wang Xiulan sent them downstairs and watched the three cars leave. She was secretly calculating how to "flex" to her neighbor sisters in the future.

Lin Yu didn't go anywhere else, but asked the designated driver to take him to a five-star hotel in the city center. After getting out of the car, he told the fatty to come pick him up tomorrow morning, and then went into the hotel to open an executive suite.

Afterwards, he sent a message to Zhou Li: "I'm in Room 1808 of the Hilton, waiting for you."

When Zhou Li received the message, she was working overtime with Liu Yifei at the company discussing work. She glanced at her phone, her face flushed slightly, and she got up and said: "Yifei, I'm leaving work first, I have some private business."

Liu Yifei looked at her hesitant appearance and smiled: "Go ahead, be safe."

...

Zhou Li stood at the door of the hotel room. The door was ajar. She couldn't help but rub her fingertips lightly on her bag strap, took a deep breath, and then pushed the door open.

Lin Yu was sitting on the single sofa by the window drinking tea. The afternoon sun shone through the sheer curtains, casting soft light and shadows on him. Hearing the movement, he put down the celadon teacup, looked up and saw her, and the corners of his mouth immediately raised a familiar smile, naturally opening his arms.

"Come here!" His voice carried a smile, as if he had been waiting for her for a long time.

Zhou Li hesitated for a moment, then walked over in her high heels and fell into that broad, warm embrace. The familiar smell of tobacco mixed with the faint scent of tea instantly wrapped around her.

"Missed me?" Lin Yu's chin rested on her soft hair, his warm breath brushing against her earlobe, his tone carrying a bit of lazy teasing.

"Hmm..." Zhou Li let out a soft hum, her cheeks slightly hot. She simply stopped being reserved and raised her head to actively kiss his lips.

This time, without the concerns of kissing downstairs last night, Zhou Li completely let herself go. Like a leopardess that had been awakened, under Lin Yu's guidance, she poured out the passion hidden under her gentle appearance.

Lin Yu didn't hold back either. He picked her up and pressed her onto the soft bed, conquering and plundering, enjoying her submission and pleasure.

He lowered his head and kissed her smooth forehead, then looked up at the flushed and beautiful face in front of him, his tone carrying a bit of ridicule: "Seriously, School Beauty Zhou, who would have thought?"

"Hmm?" Zhou Li looked up at him, her eyes drifting.

"Back in school, you were the top student who won scholarships every year, and I was the bad student who slept in class and played ball after class." Lin Yu's fingers gently brushed the stray hair by her ear, his tone carrying a bit of emotion and banter, "Back then, if you had looked at me, I would have felt it was a goddess's favor. Who would have thought that four years later today, the good girl who might have felt it was beneath her to even talk to me more, would actually be lying under me."

Zhou Li blushed, reached out and tapped him lightly, and scolded: "Stop being glib. Back then, you were running around the playground with the fatty and the others all day, I couldn't even remember all your names."

"What about now?" Lin Yu raised his eyebrows, pinched her cheek with a wicked smile, "Do you remember where I'm best now?"

Zhou Li's eyes were like silk, she deliberately twisted her waist and exhaled like an orchid in his ear: "I only just found out that you look decent, but you have a way of bullying people."

Lin Yu laughed loudly, his gaze greedily tracing her still beautiful face. Even in this moment of infatuation, Zhou Li's features still revealed a dignified and gentle beauty. But this face, which was once revered by all the boys in the school as the "flower on the high ridge," was now flushed with passion, her eyes blurred and indulgent.

This strong contrast gave Lin Yu a great sense of satisfaction in his desire to conquer. He lowered his head and pecked at her lips, his tone serious: "Don't worry, I won't treat you badly. I didn't have a chance to chase you back then, now, I want to make up for everything I missed."

Zhou Li listened to his explicit love words, but her heart was as sweet as drinking honey, and she raised her waist again. She sighed softly, her voice lowered: "I always thought you were an unreachable bad student. I didn't expect that after going around in circles, I would finally fall into your hands."

"It's not falling into my hands," Lin Yu's mouth curled into a confident arc, "It's that we finally met the right person at the right time, and also, to think you said I was bad..."

"Ah..."

Afterward, the room was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere. Zhou Li lay lazily in Lin Yu's arms, her hair scattered messily on the pillow, her fingers unconsciously drawing circles on his sturdy chest.

"Lin Yu," she said softly, with a hint of hoarseness after the event, "I'm divorced."
