Chapter 154: #154 - Chapter 154 Discussing the Dowry with Parents

At the airport, Xu Mengyao waited at the arrival gate.

Even with her mask on, she attracted quite a few glances.

"Beauty, care to be friends?"

A young, rich second-generation heir approached Xu Mengyao confidently.

"I'm married," Xu Mengyao said calmly.

She was used to being approached and had encountered it many times.

Liang Ye was nearby and quickly approached, "Boss, is there anything you need me to do?"

She glared sharply at the young heir; she would act immediately if he made any suspicious movements.

"My apologies," the young heir quickly walked away.

Although Liang Ye was a woman, she looked like trouble.

"Uncle Lin, Aunt Chen, over here!" Xu Mengyao waved.

Lin Hai and Chen Mei heard her voice and looked towards Xu Mengyao.

They quickly approached, and Chen Mei happily said, "Mengyao, you're so busy. Why did you come to pick us up?"

Xu Mengyao replied, "Qianqian is sick. Lin Chen knows medicine and stayed home. I'm not that busy now."

Lin Hai asked nervously, "Qianqian is sick? Is she alright?"

Xu Mengyao nodded.

"Lin Chen said it's likely a bacterial infection and that it's not a big deal. He's very skilled in medicine, so there shouldn't be any problems."

"Uncle Lin, Aunt Chen, let's go."

Soon, Xu Mengyao and the others left.

After arriving at the parking lot, they all got into Xu Mengyao's car, while Liang Ye got into another car to protect them from behind.

"Mengyao, has Lin Chen been bullying you lately? If he bullies you, tell Auntie, and Auntie will help you."

Chen Mei sat in the passenger seat, smiling.

Lin Hai sat alone in the back.

Xu Mengyao quickly said, "Lin Chen is very good to me. Uncle Lin, how is your hand recovering?"

"It's recovered a lot."

"As long as I don't move heavy objects, there's no impact."

Lin Hai said from the back, smiling.

They chatted all the way, and Xu Mengyao took Lin Hai and the others back.

"Grandpa, Grandma!" Lin Xiaoqian happily shouted when she saw Lin Hai and the others.

"Qianqian, my darling!"

"Come, let Grandma hold you."

Chen Mei happily picked up Lin Xiaoqian.

"Dad, Mom," Lin Chen called out, "Was your trip here smooth?"

Lin Hai nodded, "The trip was smooth. Mengyao said Qianqian was sick. Is she alright?"

Lin Chen smiled, "She's fine."

"Children's resistance isn't that strong. Colds, fevers, bacterial infections, things like that are normal."

"Dad, sit down. I'll take your pulse first."

Soon, Lin Chen took Lin Hai's pulse.

He breathed a sigh of relief, "Dad, you're recovering well. But don't exert yourself completely before you've fully recovered. You'll need more than a month for a full recovery."

"Mom, let me take your pulse too."

His ancient medical skills had reached the Grandmaster level, and were comprehensive; his pulse-taking skills were also at the Grandmaster level.

"I just occasionally have some leg pain. Nothing else," Chen Mei said, sitting down next to them while holding Lin Xiaoqian.

Lin Chen also took her pulse.

"Mom, you have some rheumatism. The situation isn't very serious. I'll give you some acupuncture and boil some medicine for you. If you take it for a while, you'll get better," Lin Chen said with a smile.

"Daddy, me too!"

Lin Xiaoqian stretched out her little hand to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen said with a smile, "Okay, Daddy will take a look at you and Mommy too."

He took Lin Xiaoqian's pulse. Lin Xiaoqian just had a minor issue, but she would probably have a recurring fever.

"Qianqian, you should be fine tomorrow," Lin Chen said with a smile.

"Mommy, it's your turn, hee hee," Lin Xiaoqian said in her childish voice.

Xu Mengyao cooperated and held out her hand.

Lin Chen took her pulse again. He was shocked. His medical skills had reached the Grandmaster level, but he still couldn't determine what was wrong with Xu Mengyao.

"Daddy, how's Mommy?" Lin Xiaoqian asked with a smile.

Lin Chen smiled, "Of course Mommy is very healthy."

He didn't reveal Xu Mengyao's condition.

There was no need to make Xu Mengyao and the others worry.

His ancient medical skills were only at the Grandmaster level now; above that were Great Grandmaster, Legendary, and Mythical levels!

Cancer, or even more terrifying diseases, might not be a big problem in his eyes at that time.

"Qianqian, don't you have doctor toys? Why don't you examine Grandpa, Grandma, and Mommy? Daddy will cook."

Lin Chen said with a smile.

"Okay!" Lin Xiaoqian was in good spirits and quickly took out her doctor toys. "I'm a doctor now, hee hee."

About an hour later, Lin Chen had prepared the meal.

"Dad, your hand hasn't recovered yet, so no wine," Lin Chen said.

"Okay," Lin Hai nodded, and they quickly sat down to taste the dishes.

"Hmm?"

Lin Hai and Chen Mei were stunned when they tasted the food. Lin Chen's cooking tasted even better than before.

Just when they thought Lin Chen's culinary skills had reached their limit, Lin Chen could still surprise them after some time.

Behind a mountain peak, there was an even higher mountain peak!

"Grandpa, Grandma, eat more! Daddy's cooking is so yummy! I like it the most!" Lin Xiaoqian said sweetly.

Chen Mei said with a smile, "Qianqian, we'll eat more. Mengyao, you and Lin Chen are engaged. Do you and your family have any requests? We will definitely try our best to fulfill them."

Xu Mengyao's pretty face turned slightly red.

"Aunt Chen, I don't have any requests."

"My parents are also easygoing, and they don't have any requests either," Xu Mengyao said.

Chen Mei: "Then let's do it the conventional way, okay? We'll bring gifts to your house to propose marriage. We'll prepare the betrothal gifts, the five gold pieces, the engagement ring, and so on."

"Do you have any requests for cars or anything like that?"

Xu Mengyao: "Aunt Chen, there are no requests. My parents mean to keep it simple. Many people just came to our house when Mom returned, and it's not good to make a big fuss again."

"I don't want to make things too complicated either."

Chen Mei nodded.

After the meal, Lin Chen took his parents upstairs. Lin Hai said, "Son, we've prepared the five gold pieces for you. What about the betrothal gifts, the gifts, and the engagement ring?"

Lin Chen said, "The gifts are simple. I'll just paint a picture and write a piece of calligraphy. I ordered an engagement ring from a jewelry company."

"The betrothal money is also a bit of a headache for me."

"We have houses, so it's not necessary to use a house as a betrothal gift. Just give money directly?"

Lin Hai: "It's not impossible to give money directly. Nowadays, most betrothal gifts are given directly in cash."

Lin Chen nodded.

"Then just give money."

"Then I'll make an appointment with the bank to withdraw ten million in cash as a betrothal gift."

Lin Hai and Chen Mei looked at Lin Chen in surprise.

"Son, do you have that much savings?"

Lin Chen said with a smile, "The overseas copyrights of those three books sold for thirty million US dollars, which is a little over two hundred million RMB."

Lin Hai and the others were extremely shocked.

Lin Chen said, "Dad, Mom, let me transfer ten million to you. You can buy whatever you like in the future."

"No need," Lin Hai quickly said, "After the house is built, we won't spend much money in the countryside. You and Mengyao are already married, so don't give us so much money."

Chen Mei also said, "We still have a lot of money left after building the house, which is enough for us to use."

"Even if Mengyao's family is rich, you have to discuss your money with Mengyao."

Lin Chen: "I will discuss it with her. Dad, Mom, it's right for me to give you money to show my filial piety."

"Don't worry about me and Mengyao arguing over money. She's much richer than me."
