Zhao Tianyou: "Lin Chen, you need to understand one thing. What's yours is yours, but what's others' isn't."
Having said that, he prepared to return to his car and leave.
With Lin Chen here, it wasn't convenient for him to deliver flowers to Xu Mengyao.
"Zhao Tianyou, you don't want these flowers anymore, right? I think they're quite pretty, it's a waste to throw them away. Sell them to me, I'll transfer you the money you paid for them."
Lin Chen said with a smile.
Zhao Tianyou: "…"
If it were just him and Lin Chen, he would have thrown the flowers in Lin Chen's face.
But Lin Xiaoxi was also present.
If he wanted to pursue Xu Mengyao, he had to appease Lin Xiaoxi.
"No need to pay me."
Zhao Tianyou said, handing the flowers to Lin Chen.
Soon, Zhao Tianyou drove away, annoyed. Lin Chen went to his car and unbuckled Lin Xiaoxi's seatbelt.
"Qianqian, you have to walk yourself."
"Daddy needs to carry the food and these flowers."
Lin Chen kissed Lin Xiaoxi.
"Okay, okay."
Lin Xiaoxi nodded, "Daddy, I don't like Uncle Zhao."
"I don't like him either."
"But these flowers of his are quite nice."
Lin Chen laughed.
Soon they went upstairs, the exclusive elevator for the upper floors taking them directly to Xu Mengyao's floor.
"Qianqian."
"Brother Lin."
Some people greeted Lin Chen and the others.
Lin Xiaoxi was already familiar to them, and many people in the company had also met Lin Chen during the basketball game.
"Knock, knock."
Lin Chen knocked on the door of the president's office.
"Come in."
Xu Mengyao's cold voice came from inside the room. This voice was slightly different from her voice at home.
"Mommy!"
Lin Xiaoxi said happily as the door opened.
"Qianqian."
Xu Mengyao's eyes lit up.
Lin Xiaoxi giggled and said, "Mommy, Daddy and I came to bring you food, are you happy?"
"Happy, Mommy is of course happy."
Xu Mengyao said warmly in her heart.
"Wife, here you go."
Lin Chen handed the flowers to Xu Mengyao.
Xu Mengyao took them, somewhat surprised, "Honey… did you and Qianqian have time to go to the flower shop to buy flowers?"
Lin Chen: "I ran into Zhao Tianyou downstairs, he didn't need these flowers, I said I'd buy them from him but he didn't want any money, what a nice guy."
Xu Mengyao said playfully, "He probably hates you. He used to give me flowers too, but I never accepted them."
Lin Chen nodded with a smile.
"Hurry up and eat."
"The taste of the dishes will change quite a bit if they're kept in the lunchbox for too long."
Xu Mengyao put the flowers aside, she opened the lunchbox, there were four dishes in total, and she was immediately tempted.
Lin Chen's cooking was much better than the company cafeteria's.
"Mommy, is it delicious?"
"You haven't eaten Daddy's cooking in a long time."
"We came to bring you food."
Xu Mengyao nodded, "Of course it's delicious."
She looked at Lin Chen.
It felt so good to have her husband care about her.
"Mengyao, which place are you going back to tonight?"
Lin Chen asked.
Lin Xiaoxi looked at Xu Mengyao expectantly. She hadn't seen Xu Mengyao for several days, and even though they video chatted every day, she still missed her mommy.
"Back to your place, I guess."
Xu Mengyao said with a slightly red face.
Anyway, Lin Chen had her clothes there.
She had pajamas, and she had also brought a few other sets of clothes to change into.
"Yay!"
Lin Xiaoxi was overjoyed.
"Mommy, can Daddy and I wait for you to get off work?"
Xu Mengyao shook her head: "Qianqian, that won't work. Mommy has to work very late, you're still young, you need to grow, you need to go to bed early at night and sleep well."
"Mommy promises to go over tonight, okay?"
Lin Xiaoxi nodded.
In the blink of an eye, it was past nine o'clock in the evening.
Lin Xiaoxi was asleep, a knock sounded, Lin Chen opened the door, and as he expected, Zhao Tianyou had come to his door.
"Zhao Tianyou, what's up?"
Lin Chen said calmly, he didn't intend to step aside.
Zhao Tianyou said in a deep voice: "Lin Chen, at least you used my flowers, it's no problem for me to come in and sit for a while, right?"
Lin Chen smiled slightly.
"For the sake of that bouquet of flowers, come in."
Zhao Tianyou sat down on the sofa.
"Lin Chen, what I told you, what's your consideration?"
Zhao Tianyou said in a deep voice.
Lin Chen also sat down: "I didn't consider it at all."
A sharp glint flashed in Zhao Tianyou's eyes: "Lin Chen, I don't know if you're aware, but the company has recently encountered trouble, and Xu Mengyao went abroad to deal with this matter."
"Don't think that the Xu family is very rich, the crisis is not small. If the Xu family falls, what will you and Lin Xiaoxi do?"
"You have to consider more for yourself and your daughter."
Lin Chen: "Are you done? If you're done, you can leave."
Zhao Tianyou was annoyed in his heart, he took a deep breath and continued: "Lin Chen, I'll give you five million. When you marry someone else, I'll give you another three million."
"And I'll arrange a job with an annual salary of one million for you."
"How about it?"
Lin Chen shook his head: "Zhao Tianyou, why don't you understand, even if I quit, you have absolutely no hope, Mengyao has absolutely no feelings for you, understand?"
"Besides, your Zhao family wants to swallow an elephant, do you have the stomach for it? Aren't you afraid of stuffing yourselves to death?"
Zhao Tianyou said coldly: "You don't need to consider those things."
"Just take the money and leave."
"My conditions are already extremely good, you better be content."
Lin Chen said indifferently: "You can leave when you're done."
"I'm not interested."
"Don't say eight million, I'm not interested in eighty million either."
Zhao Tianyou gritted his teeth: "Lin Chen, don't regret it."
Lin Chen pointed to the door.
Zhao Tianyou left angrily.
Lin Chen pondered, the Zhao family wants to swallow an elephant, don't they know that they might have indigestion when they swallow it? Or do they have other plans in secret?
Close to twelve o'clock, Xu Mengyao came back.
Lin Chen was watching TV in the living room.
"Lin Chen, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Lin Chen smiled and said: "Waiting for you. Zhao Tianyou came, he planned to give me eight million plus an annual salary of one million. He doesn't give up, I think there's something wrong."
Xu Mengyao thought: "Aunt Liang's birthday, we attended together, although they didn't go, they should know."
Lin Chen: "He knows we got the marriage certificate. And now he should also know that we have feelings for each other. In this situation, his continued efforts don't make much sense anymore."
Xu Mengyao's face flushed slightly.
"By the way, he also knows that your company has recently encountered trouble, he should know that even if the Zhao family succeeds in swallowing the elephant, can they cope with the future crisis?"
Xu Mengyao was thoughtful: "You mean, the Zhao family may have secretly colluded with outsiders?"
Lin Chen nodded slightly.
"I think the possibility is not low."
"For foreign enemies, the role of the Zhao family is still very large. In order to win them over, others may promise a lot."
"You have to be careful that the Zhao family digs a hole for you."
Xu Mengyao frowned slightly.
There are many people from the Zhao family in their company, Zhao Tianyou's father, Zhao Huaiyuan, is still the company's vice president, he knows a lot of company secrets, if he digs a hole, it will be difficult to defend against.
"I will be careful."
Xu Mengyao nodded.
Lin Chen: "Wife, go take a shower, you sleep with Qianqian. Or the three of us sleep together."
Xu Mengyao glared at Lin Chen with her beautiful eyes.
"Don't even think about that for now."
Lin Chen said with a smile: "Then what about later?"
"Later, it depends on your performance, hum."
After Xu Mengyao finished speaking, she quickly went to the master bedroom to take a shower.
