Chapter 91: Youth Is an Asset Indeed!

TL: Etude

Chen Jianghai rubbed his hands together, his face full of excitement. “Boss Ren, do you really mean it, you’re willing to lend me the money?”

“Of course!”

Ren Tianci nodded, “I can give you the money tonight, so you can start recuperating your capital as soon as possible!”

Ren Tianci’s plan was simple: give Chen Jianghai the money sooner so he could recoup it faster, then bring people in to invest, make a quick profit, and leave.

Chen Jianghai quickly waved his hands, “No rush, Boss Ren, at most it will only delay things by three to five days. It won’t be too late to discuss this tomorrow.”

Hearing about a three to five days delay, Ren Tianci grew even more impatient.

“Brother, as the saying goes, when helping, go all the way. I’ll go get the money for you right now!”

With that said, Ren Tianci stood up, grabbed his bag, and walked out.

Once Ren Tianci left, everyone at the dining table looked at Chen Jianghai with skepticism in their eyes.

“Jianghai, you’re not also a swindler, are you?” Li Detian opened his mouth to ask.

The others, though silent, betrayed their cautious thoughts with their eyes.

“What are you talking about? Am I that kind of person?”

Chen Jianghai dismissed them with a wave of his hand. “Hurry up and call the police, catch the criminal with the goods, and don’t let this swindler get away!”

As Ren Tianci, elated to be bringing the money, saw a room full of police officers, he was immediately dumbfounded.

Meanwhile, Chen Jianghai, accompanied by Lin Wanqiu, was already on his way home.

The hotel matter was left for Li Detian to handle; Chen Jianghai did not want to draw attention to himself.

As long as Ren Tianci, that bastard, ended up behind bars, revenge would be served!

On the way home, Chen Jianghai, with his arm around Lin Wanqiu, asked, “Wife, are you full?”

“Of course, I’m full!” Lin Wanqiu nodded.

“There might often be social gatherings in the future. Of course, if you don’t like them, I can always decline.”

Chen Jianghai brought it up in advance; he would never force Lin Wanqiu to do anything she didn’t want to.

“If Meifeng and the others are there, it’s okay, but if it’s just you guys eating, I’d rather not join.”

Lin Wanqiu spoke quite considerately.

“By the way, Jianghai, what were you guys talking about? Why did they drink so much?”

She and her sisters had been busy chatting and hadn’t heard what the men were talking about.

Of course, even if Lin Wanqiu had overheard Chen Jianghai and the others, she probably wouldn’t have been interested.

“Maybe they were just happy!” Chen Jianghai said with a laugh.

He certainly couldn’t tell Lin Wanqiu that their drunkenness was due to worries about the country!

“What were you all chatting about?” Chen Jianghai asked casually.

Lin Wanqiu’s face turned slightly red, and then she looked down, “We didn’t talk about much…”

Seeing Lin Wanqiu’s somewhat flustered appearance, Chen Jianghai’s curiosity piqued.

“Why are you so nervous?” he asked, looking at Lin Wanqiu with a hint of suspicion.

“It’s nothing…” Just as Lin Wanqiu was about to make up an excuse, she saw Chen Jianghai looking at her with a smile.

Eventually, Lin Wanqiu stammered out their earlier topic of conversation.

“We were talking about… about having children.”

Her head was nearly buried in her chest; she couldn’t bring herself to meet Chen Jianghai’s eyes again.

“What?”

Chen Jianghai was utterly confused. “Having children? What do you mean?”

“It’s about whether to have a boy or a girl,” Lin Wanqiu explained.

Chen Jianghai was even more puzzled.

What was this all about?

Seeing the confusion on Chen Jianghai’s face, Lin Wanqiu stamped her foot and, with a red face, said, “They said that doing it differently, the chances of having a boy or a girl will vary…”

However, by the end of it, Lin Wanqiu’s voice was probably only audible to herself.

“Which one? What are you talking about?”

“It’s the… the position!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Jianghai stared blankly at Li Wanqiu, then burst into hearty laughter.

“What… what are you laughing at?”

Lin Wanqiu pouted shyly.

Chen Jianghai touched Lin Wanqiu’s hair and said, “Silly girl, the baby’s gender has nothing to do with the position.”

“Then what does it have to do with?” Lin Wanqiu couldn’t help asking, her face reddening even more.

Chen Jianghai chuckled mischievously and teased, “I’ll tell you tonight.”

Lin Wanqiu felt there was something insidious about that smile but was too embarrassed to press the issue further.

That night, after an intimate and friendly exchange between husband and wife, an exhausted Lin Wanqiu finally learned that indeed, the position had nothing to do with having children.

…

A ray of sunshine pierced through the window, casting its warmth on the bed.

Chen Jianghai stretched lazily, awakening from a deep sleep.

One must say, youth does have its advantages!

Lin Wanqiu was still sleeping on the bed. Chen Jianghai didn’t wake her; instead, he got up, went to the kitchen to wash his face and brush his teeth, and then cheerfully started to make breakfast.

Halfway through, Lin Wanqiu also got up.

Chen Jianghai popped his head out and said, “Wanqiu, go call mom and dad for breakfast, will you?”

“Mm.”

After washing her face, Lin Wanqiu, while tying her hair with a hairband, responded.

Seeing Lin Wanqiu’s cheeks blush like peach blossoms, Chen Jianghai was momentarily mesmerized.

It wasn’t until she had gone quite a distance that he came back to his senses.

A woman nourished by love always seems exceptionally radiant.

Especially when that lazy allure is combined, it’s simply irresistible.

How lucky he was to have found such a gentle, understanding, and kind wife!

Before long, Lin Wanqiu brought her parents over.

Seeing Chen Jianghai cooking breakfast, Lin Jianguo greeted him with a smile.

Upon this scene, Xue Chunli also showed a hint of satisfaction in her eyes.

Xue Chunli had observed the changes in Chen Jianghai over the past few days.

Had she not been worried about Chen Jianghai engaging in illegal activities, she would have accepted this son-in-law much earlier.

“Dad, mom, come, let’s have breakfast,” Chen Jianghai said with a smile, serving up the porridge and steamed buns he had prepared.

“Wanqiu, after breakfast, take mom and dad out for a walk. I have some things to take care of.”

Chen Jianghai ladled porridge into three bowls for them and grabbed a bun to eat himself.

Lin Wanqiu asked with some confusion, “Jianghai, what’s the matter?”

She had wanted to accompany her parents and let Chen Jianghai have the chance to show his best side further.

“The shop has been rented out, I need to discuss the renovations,” Chen Jianghai said with a smile.

Xue Chunli lifted her head and suddenly said, “Let’s go have a look too, can we?”

Chen Jianghai glanced at Xue Chunli and naturally did not refuse, nodding with a smile, “Sure.”

After breakfast, the four of them set out directly.

Upon reaching the entrance of the alley, Lin Wanqiu actively hailed a tricycle for her parents to ride.

Chen Jianghai was pleased to see this change in Lin Wanqiu.

Making money is for enjoying life.

He feared Lin Wanqiu would be too frugal and make herself suffer.

What’s the point of making money if it’s not used to improve life?

Arriving at Pozijie Street, Chen Jianghai stopped and pointed at a small building ahead, “Here we are, this is it.”

Looking at the building before them, the three couldn’t believe their eyes.

Lin Jianguo rubbed his eyes, then couldn’t help but tug at Chen Jianghai’s sleeve, “Son-in-law, are you sure it’s here?”

Chen Jianghai assuredly said, “Yes, it’s right here. Brother Li’s shop was part of the deal; we dined last night with him and his wife present, Wanqiu knows them too.”

Chen Jianghai said this while looking towards Lin Wanqiu.

Lin Wanqiu, of course, knew Chen Jianghai had no reason to joke about such matters and expressed her amazement, “Jianghai, this shopfront is not small at all, and the location is great too!”

Xue Chunli was quite straightforward, “How much is the rent per month?”

Chen Jianghai raised three fingers, “It’s not expensive, only 300 a month.”

Hearing this number, the three of them took a deep breath at the same time.
