"Don't be nervous, relax," Lin Yan whispered into Su Mojin's ear. Not to mention Su Mojin, even he, with his vast experience from his past life, was slightly shocked the first time he saw the Lin family's estate.
"Mhm, mhm."
Su Mojin nodded obediently, took a deep breath, and calmed her emotions.
They walked down a quiet path, and the three of them arrived at the villa entrance. Grandpa Zhang pushed open the villa door and gestured for them to enter.
Lin Yan took the tea and bracelet he had bought earlier from Li Wei and led Su Mojin into the villa.
Inside the villa.
Lin Guoxiong was sitting on the sofa, looking at the tablet in his hand.
He was analyzing the recent stock price fluctuations of the Song family. In just three days, the Song family had lost hundreds of billions. Although the hype had died down, Lin Guoxiong was already very satisfied with the outcome.
The current effect was largely thanks to his own brat, who played his cards well.
However, this kid had called this morning saying he was coming back for dinner. It was almost five o'clock, why wasn't he back yet?
Normally, Lin Guoxiong wouldn't be in a hurry. It didn't matter if he came early or late.
But today, his future daughter-in-law was here. No matter how high their status, all parents were the same when it came to their daughter-in-law.
Lin Guoxiong wanted to see what kind of woman could make his son turn over a new leaf. If possible, he would have the brat marry her right away, so he wouldn't be chasing skirts all the time.
If nothing else, Lin Guoxiong had cleaned up after Lin Yan's messes more than once.
Just as Lin Guoxiong's thoughts were racing, he suddenly heard the sound of the door opening behind him.
"Patriarch, young master is back."
Huh? Speak of the devil. Hearing the sound, Lin Guoxiong sat up straighter and focused his gaze on the tablet in his hand.
As the head of the family, he had to maintain his dignity.
If the exterior architecture was elegant with a touch of nobility, then the interior decoration of the villa gave Su Mojin a feeling of classical luxury.
The villa's decoration was not as ostentatious as the exterior, but the price of every piece of furniture was extremely high.
Undoubtedly, the villa's decoration had once again shocked Su Mojin. However, she quickly recovered after just half a second. Su Mojin knew that this was not the time to be stunned; she was about to meet Lin Yan's parents.
After entering the house, Lin Yan led Su Mojin to sit on the sofa opposite Lin Guoxiong.
Looking at the middle-aged man sitting opposite her with a serious expression, Su Mojin thought this must be Lin Yan's father. She took a deep breath and spoke first.
"Um... hello, Uncle..."
"Old Lin, has Xiao Yan come back yet!"
Just as Su Mojin was about to greet him, Lin Yan's mother, Fu Qingyun's voice, came from afar.
Immediately after, in Su Mojin's line of sight, a middle-aged noblewoman wearing home clothes and an apron walked out of the kitchen.
Fu Qingyun had planned to cook herself today, but she was afraid of misjudging the time, so she cut the ingredients first and waited for her son to arrive before finishing the rest.
As soon as she put down the knife, Fu Qingyun heard the door open and guessed that it might be her son and daughter-in-law returning. When she came out, she saw that it was indeed them.
She couldn't bother with what she was doing, took off her apron, and came to sit on the sofa next to Su Mojin. After sitting down, she couldn't help but scold Lin Guoxiong.
"Really, your son is back, and you didn't even say anything!"
Facing his wife's scolding, Lin Guoxiong looked wronged. He had just found out, hadn't he? Besides, could you at least save me some face in front of our daughter-in-law?
Looking at their interaction, Su Mojin's tense heart finally relaxed. It seemed Lin Yan's parents were quite approachable.
Sitting beside her, Fu Qingyun looked at Su Mojin up close. Fu Qingyun really liked this daughter-in-law; she seemed like the obedient and sensible type.
"You're Xiao Jin, right? How old are you this year?"
Fu Qingyun took one of Su Mojin's hands and placed it in her palm, saying affectionately.
"Hello, Auntie. I'll be twenty next month!"
Su Mojin was nineteen this year and would turn twenty next month. Her birthday was only a month after Lin Yan's.
"Mhm, good. What's your major?"
Hearing this, Fu Qingyun nodded. In fact, she already knew all these things; she was just asking again.
"I'm majoring in finance."
In response to Fu Qingyun's question, Su Mojin replied respectfully. Although there was still a slight hint of nervousness in her voice, she was much better than when she first entered the house.
Lin Yan watched silently from the side, knowing it wasn't his turn to speak.
"It's quite rare for girls to study finance. That's good; you can help our brat in the future."
Fu Qingyun was quite satisfied with Su Mojin's major. Her own brat wasn't good at finance, so she could help him manage the company in the future.
While Fu Qingyun was talking to Su Mojin, Lin Guoxiong was also watching from the side. He had put down the tablet. He had originally intended to maintain some distance, but his wife had disrupted it directly.
He was observing Su Mojin's demeanor and the way she spoke. From what he knew, her son had become more motivated since he started interacting with this young lady. He wanted to see what charm this young lady possessed.
Lin Guoxiong didn't think much of Fu Qingyun's suggestion about her assisting Lin Yan in managing the company in the future. If Lin Yan truly wasn't good at finance, the couple could cooperate.
As for whether Su Mojin would try to seize the Lin family's assets, don't be ridiculous. The Lin Corporation was a semi-family enterprise, and most of the company's senior management were members of the Lin family. Let alone Su Mojin, even if Lin Yan inherited the company, as long as he was still alive, the real decision-making power would still be with him.
"Mom, Dad, this is the gift Xiao Jin bought for you."
Seizing the opportune moment, Lin Yan handed the tea he was holding to Lin Guoxiong. Lin Guoxiong took it and glanced at it. Upon seeing the type of tea, he knew for sure that Su Mojin hadn't bought it for him.
This brat had actually learned to do this. It seemed he was really serious this time. However, he didn't expose him and put the tea away.
"Oh, you're here, why bring gifts? You're being too formal."
Fu Qingyun was the same. Both of them silently accepted the gifts.
Seeing this, Su Mojin's face began to flush. The reason was simple: both gifts were bought with Lin Yan's money.
However, Lin Yan's parents were such good actors that Su Mojin didn't notice at all.
Lin Guoxiong and Fu Qingyun both saw Su Mojin blushing. It seemed this young lady was quite innocent.
However, given their son's temperament, they probably would have already corrupted her by now.
Then, the couple exchanged a look, and both were quite satisfied.
"Xiao Sun, go to the bedroom and get me the pair of earrings I bought yesterday."
Fu Qingyun ordered a servant standing nearby.
