Chapter 201

“Well, let me see how your business is doing next year, okay? Don’t think I’m being too realistic.”

“No, no, I understand. You’re doing this for Wanwan.”

“Good, let’s have a drink together.”

“I’ll toast to you.”

Although Xu Lin didn’t really like drinking, especially hard liquor, he forced himself to drink a glass.

After Father Su finished his drink, his stern face finally relaxed, making the atmosphere at the dinner table much lighter.

“Hey, Xiao Xu, tell me about what you write. I like to read in my spare time.”

“Ah... Sure.”

Although what Xu Lin wrote might be too novel for someone of Father Su’s age, at least he didn’t write anything too bizarre.

So, Xu Lin briefly introduced the plot and the main storyline. As he spoke, Father Su took out his phone and started searching.

“Is this the one?”

“Yes.”

“I’ll read it in my spare time. Not bad, it’s understandable that a story like this can become popular.”

“Thank you for the compliment, Uncle. It’s just a little bit of cleverness. I’ve always been good at writing essays since I was a kid.”

“Then why didn’t you go to college? Family issues?”

After hearing Xu Lin’s story, Father Su became even more satisfied with this son-in-law. He liked reading himself, especially fantasy stories.

Few people knew that as he read more and more, he understood how hard it was to write a good story.

He had tried himself and wrote poorly, but he didn’t expect his son-in-law to write quite well. Now he had something to brag about to his colleagues.

“No, no, although my family wasn’t wealthy, my parents were healthy. It’s just that I was bad at math. My Chinese and English were good, but I couldn’t pull up my math score.”

Your English is good? Su Qingwan rolled her eyes at Xu Lin.

Although Xu Lin’s English grades had improved a bit, it was still his worst subject. Did he have some issue with her English class?

Feeling Su Qingwan’s gaze, Xu Lin looked at her and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing, I remember your English wasn’t that good, right?”

“Yes, but it got better later.”

“Oh, then I’ll check you next time.”

“I’ve graduated; I’ve almost forgotten it all.”

“No problem, just show me what you remember.”

“Alright.”

Not to mention his grandpa, his grandma would be overjoyed to see a beautiful girl and would definitely want her to be her granddaughter-in-law.

“By the way, isn’t the light in the storage room broken? Xu Lin, could you change it? We have light bulbs at home.”

Su Qingwan suddenly remembered. Every time she went there to get or put things, it was pitch black, and it was a bit scary at night.

“I’ll go change it.”

“He hasn’t even finished his meal yet. Wanwan, don’t be so thoughtless.”

“It’s okay, Auntie. I’ll just change it quickly. Is it just a regular bulb? Besides regular bulbs, I can only handle simple ceiling lights.”

“Just a regular bulb.”

“Then I’ll go.”

“I’ll show you the way,” Su Qingwan also stood up and led him towards the door.

“Alright.”

As they walked out, Mother Su looked at her husband with a full smile.

“How do you feel about it now?”

“It’s fine, let’s see how it goes. The important thing is not us, but whether our daughter likes him and he treats her well.”

“That’s not what you said earlier.”

“...”

Xu Lin followed Su Qingwan downstairs, took a deep breath, and his whole demeanor instantly collapsed.

“I’m exhausted, my nerves were too tense.”

“Just be yourself, no need to be perfect.”

Her parents were very satisfied with his performance, but she could also sense how hard Xu Lin tried.

“Thanks for the effort.”

She gently held Xu Lin’s arm and leaned lightly against his side. Feeling her warmth, Xu Lin’s fatigue eased a bit.

“It’s something we have to go through sooner or later.”

Dealing with the father of the two Chu family sisters was the real challenge. Without some accomplishments, he wouldn’t even dare to approach.

But after meeting Su Qingwan’s parents tonight, Xu Lin also realized an even more difficult situation.

Dealing with twelve girls was already hard enough, but the most terrifying thing was the parents and families behind these twelve girls. They were the real formidable opponents.
