"Where's my sword? Where's my 40-meter-long sword?!" Lin Beishan was furious.
He dragged his shoes around the house, rummaging through everything. "Xiao He, don't you dare stop me today. I'm going to chop that brat to pieces!"
Bai He sat steadily on the edge of the bed, looking at him as if he were an idiot. "Go ahead! See if our daughter doesn't chop you up first." He's so old, and he just starts rambling on and on. She didn't want to pay any attention to him.
Lin Beishan paused, "Xiao He, aren't you worried at all that your daughter will be kidnapped by that brat?"
"What's there to worry about? That kid comes from an unhappy family and is clearly going to marry into the family. What do I have to worry about?"
"But he..."
What's wrong with him?
Lin Beishan said angrily, "He betrayed his master and ancestors."
Bai He snorted, "The younger generation surpasses the older generation. Isn't retiring at your age an inevitable consequence of the times?"
Lin Beishan stared wide-eyed at his wife in disbelief, "Xiao He, I, I, I was only 50 when we died, I wasn't even old enough to retire..."
"So what? A 50-year-old is an old man. Shouldn't we give more opportunities to young people?"
Lin Beishan clicked his tongue, "Xiao He, you, you've taken a liking to that kid, haven't you?"
Bai He paused, then immediately launched a tirade against him, "Are you crazy? How old is Xiao Wu? I'm an old lady. You think I'd be interested in him? Are you out of your mind? All you do is spout nonsense all day long."
Lin Beishan: "No, I didn't mean you've taken a liking to him. I meant, do you want him to be our son-in-law?"
Bai He said quite naturally, "Otherwise, what else can we do but accept it? Our daughter chose him herself."
Lin Beishan turned his face away in disagreement.
Bai He continued, "What, do you think you're more important to your daughter than Xiao Wu?"
"of course."
“Then go out and ask your daughter now. Just say, ‘It’s either you or Xiao Wu, it’s either you or him.’ Let your daughter choose one and see who she chooses.”
Lin Beishan was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Fine, I'll go."
He strode to the door, then stopped and turned back. "I'm really going." Aren't you going to stop me?
Bai He waved his hand, signaling him to hurry up.
Lin Beishan shrugged and then said, "So I'm really going?"
Bai He closed her eyes and sighed, "Why bother! Knowing the outcome, why insist on humiliating yourself? If you can't win, join them. Is that so hard?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Beishan turned around with a dejected look and sat down on the bedside. "I just... I just can't bear to see that brat treat me like that."
Bai He clicked her tongue. "That's all from the past. Wake up. That Wu and this Xiao Wu are not the same person. Don't let your emotions get the better of you and make things difficult for our daughter, okay?"
“Right!” Lin Beishan scratched his head. “But when I see his face, my fighting spirit gets incredibly agitated.”
Bai He turned her face away, "Just let him beat you up a few times and it'll be fine."
Lin Beishan: "..." Is this really his wife? No wonder, they say that mothers-in-law like their sons-in-law more and more the more they look at them. She's not even his son-in-law yet, but she's already saying nice things about her.
Bai He didn't care what he was thinking and continued, "If you can't beat them, join them, understand?"
Lin Beishan retorted, "I'm just that much older than him, otherwise, who knows who would have beaten whom!"
"Even if you were twenty years younger, he would still beat you up. He's from a prestigious family, raised from childhood to be an heir. He's skilled in both literature and martial arts. Can you do that?"
Lin Beishan curled his lip, "Sounds like the hardware is pretty good."
Bai He scoffed, "That's right, otherwise, how could our daughter have taken a liking to him? You know, back in our previous life, we did try to set her up with people from various families, including the Zhou family, the Fu family, the Liu family, and the Guo family. Did she ever meet any of them twice?"
Lin Beishan whispered, "But some guys also say they're not a good match! Ah..."
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Before he could finish speaking, he received a slap on the head. Bai He put her hands on her hips and said, "That must be the man's problem. What could our daughter have done wrong? If she really did something wrong, it could only be that she is too outstanding, making the other party feel inferior and too embarrassed to say it outright, so he made up an excuse."
Lin Beishan: "..." What can I say when you're so protective of your own?
"We still want our marital relationship," Lin Beishan chuckled obsequiously. "You're right, everything you say is right, hehe, so shall we settle things then?"
Bai He, "Otherwise what?"
Lin Beishan quickly bent down to help his wife take off her shoes, then carefully put her feet on the bed. He leaned closer and whispered, "Xiao He, we've always been too busy before, but now we have plenty of time. How about we give our daughter a younger brother or sister?"
"Slap slap slap..." The next second, Lin Beishan's arm was slapped three times in a row. Bai He cursed, "What's wrong with you? How old are you and you still want to have a baby? You don't know how to earn money. Your daughter has to pay your debts. What, you want to have a child and have your daughter raise it for you?"
Lin Beishan hurriedly explained, "I... I used to be busy looking for my daughter, didn't I?"
"Now that I've found my daughter, I definitely won't be a lazy bum anymore. Besides, if our daughter had a younger brother or sister, or an older brother or sister, she would have someone to talk to when something happens, and she wouldn't be so lonely."
Don't you think so?
"You bighead, get lost..." Bai He roared, throwing a pillow at him.
As the moon set behind the western hills, everyone in the courtyard was fast asleep.
Wu Qingfeng suddenly opened his eyes and sat up in bed.
He had another dream, the same bizarre dream.
It was as if everything was connected. In his dream, he seized upon his master's mistakes and forced him to take a back seat.
When his master gave in, he even "kindly" reminded him, "Spend more time with your family."
But before the master could return home, his daughter had an accident.
A rising star in the business world, a highly successful female entrepreneur, was killed by a crystal chandelier that suddenly fell during her celebration banquet.
That girl's name is Lin Chang'er...
In her dream, they met once—no, from her perspective, they met once—but he had visited her privately many times…
Wu Qingfeng stared wide-eyed at the pitch-black night before him, large beads of sweat sliding down his forehead and cheeks, landing on his collarbone.
My back was also covered in cold sweat.
The next moment, he suddenly rolled out of bed, not even bothering to put on his shoes, and ran out.
When Lin Chang'er was half asleep, she inexplicably felt a dark shadow in front of her bed.
She subconsciously reached for the dagger, only then remembering that the little goldfish had given her the dagger and asked her to lend it to Chen Zhao.
He then grabbed a pillow and threw it at the shadow.
Then, her wrist was grabbed, and a familiar, deep male voice rang out, saying, "Chang'er, it's me..."
