Chapter 661: Lin Jie Became Shy (Second Update)
"Haha, look at this girl." Lin Dongchen laughed as he saw his daughter’s eyes light up at the sight of Lin Feng, unable to sit still and rushing out to help him prepare dinner. He thought to himself that his daughter indeed had excellent taste. Lin Feng was absolutely a catch and he adored him greatly.
"Yes, this girl transforms the moment she sees Lin Feng." Liu Li saw Lin Jie behaving this way and chuckled helplessly, shaking her head. She thought to herself that they all knew their daughter liked Lin Feng, and it seems now that all her daughter’s thoughts were on Lin Feng. But this was not a bad thing—they had all seen how good Lin Feng was and found him to be more than a match for their daughter.
"The two young people have things to talk about when they’re together. What common topics could they have with us old folks, right?" Lin Yiwen said with a beaming smile. He genuinely adored Lin Jie, having watched her grow up since she was little. Her nature was incredibly kind-hearted, and he felt she would be an excellent match for his son. He had always been very supportive of Lin Feng and Lin Jie being together.
"Of course! Lin Jie has been close to our son since they were young, and with our son being as he is now, which girl wouldn’t like him?" Zhang Lan beamed with pride as she spoke, thinking to herself that her son really had quite the ability, already having three women now. What would become of him in the future? But she was extremely fond of Lin Jie, who had grown up before her eyes—a truly kind child. Zhang Lan was most satisfied with the idea of Lin Jie being with Lin Feng.
Zhang Lan glanced in the direction of the kitchen and felt a sense of relief. The whole Tianhai was probably aware of her son having a fiancée by now, and Lin Jie must have been aware of it too. Initially, she and Zhang Lanhai were worried that Lin Jie might distance herself from their son, but seeing her today, it was clear Lin Jie had come around; otherwise, she wouldn’t have shown such an attitude toward him. This showed that Lin Jie was determined to continue her relationship with his son.
Thinking of this, Zhang Lan couldn’t help but beam with happiness. Her son was truly impressive, bringing her three daughters-in-law: his fiancée Ding Wan’er, his girlfriend Shen Yao, and now Lin Jie—if this wasn’t a cause for joy! In the future, there were sure to be plenty of grandchildren...
"Xiao Jie is growing up, she knows what it’s like to like someone now."
"Yes, Lin Jie being with Lin Feng makes us all happy."
"By the way, how old is Xiao Jie now?"
"20 years old, she’s still a bit young. We’ll have to wait a few more years before we can plan their wedding."
"Yes, she’s a little young. Hehe, there’s no hurry since they are close, and Lin Jie is still in school."
"Right, there’s no rush until Lin Jie finishes her studies."
...
The four of them sat on the sofa, discussing Lin Jie and Lin Feng’s relationship. They were all extremely pleased with the outcome. To them, Lin Feng and Lin Jie were truly a match made in heaven, perfect for each other. Moreover, both families knew each other well, so the prospect of strengthening their bond through marriage was an extremely welcome idea.
Before long, Lin Feng had all the dishes ready. Lin Jie busily helped serve the food on the dining table. Within a short time, the table was laden with ten dishes of varied tastes, featuring a mix of meat and vegetables that were alluring in both appearance and aroma, immediately stimulating one’s appetite.
"Dad, Mom, Uncle, Auntie, let’s eat!" After setting the table, Lin Jie called out happily. Just now, while she was carrying dishes from the kitchen to the dining room, she overheard the older folks talking about her and Brother Lin Feng, even touching on the subject of marriage. This made her blush so much that she didn’t know how to react. Presently, her face was still flushed with red, but as much as she felt shy, her heart was filled with indescribable joy. Both families were happy about their relationship, so naturally, she too was overjoyed.
"Come on, let’s eat."
"Yes, Lin Feng’s cooking is delicious!"
...
Upon hearing Lin Jie’s call, everyone quickly got up and sat down in the dining room. Lin Yiwen even opened a bottle of white wine, and both families jovially gathered together.
"Uncle Lin, it’s a relief that you’re well now. I’ll prescribe you an herbal remedy to help maintain your health," Lin Feng said, noting Lin Dongchen’s rosy glow and feeling content. If it hadn’t been for him last year, Lin Dongchen might not have made it. Though he was out of danger now, there were still things to watch out for.
"Ah Lin Feng, you’ve really touched my heart with those words. I have faith in no one’s medical skills but yours. I promise to follow any prescription you give me to the letter. To be honest, after that incident, I’ve learned to let things go. Nothing is more important than my own health and my family," Lin Dongchen expressed his deep gratitude when he heard Lin Feng. One of the main reasons he came here was to have Lin Feng check his health again. Since Lin Feng mentioned it, it meant his health must be fine.
He had personally experienced the magic of Lin Feng’s medical skills. After what happened last time, Lin Dongchen had adopted a more philosophical outlook on life. All he wanted now was to maintain his health and that of his family, to live happily, and eventually, to enjoy the joy of grandchildren once Lin Jie had children of her own.
"Ah Lin Feng, check on me when you have time too. I also want to live longer so I can hold your children, haha!" Liu Li chuckled with appreciation. Lin Feng was the one who had saved her husband’s life, and his exceptional medical skills went without saying. Her husband’s current well-being was all thanks to Lin Feng. The idea of Lin Feng prescribing something to benefit her husband’s health thrilled her. The spontaneous remark led her to burst into laughter, caught up in the joy of the moment.
"Mom... look at you..." Lin Jie’s face turned as red as a ripe apple upon hearing her mother’s comment and gently chided her with a playful pout, though with a joyous heart. She stole a glance at Lin Feng before she shyly lowered her head, her cheeks feeling even hotter.
"Lin Jie is feeling shy, let’s not tease her any further," Zhang Lan said, her smile widening as she saw Lin Jie’s reaction. She had grown even fonder of Lin Jie.
"There’s no problem at all, I’ll just check Auntie’s health when I’m free." Lin Feng saw that Lin Jie’s face had turned as red as an apple and immediately changed the subject. If the conversation continued, Lin Jie would probably be too embarrassed to know what to do, and Lin Feng didn’t want her to suffer such awkwardness.
"Okay, I’ll listen to you, getting a health checkup is good, thank you," Liu Li heard Lin Feng say and immediately understood that he was helping her daughter out of a tight spot. Seeing her daughter blushing like that, she didn’t want to carry on either. Having Lin Feng check her health would indeed give her peace of mind, so she quickly replied with thanks.
"Why say thank you, we’re all family here," Zhang Lan said cheerfully.
"That’s right, sister-in-law is correct, I didn’t even realize it for a moment," Liu Li, hearing what Zhang Lan said, immediately came around to the same view. Her daughter would definitely be with Lin Feng in the future, which made him family. Indeed, there was no need for thanks.
"Brother Yiwen, time flies so quickly, before we knew it, we’ve grown so much, and our children are already talking about marriage,"
"Yes, Dongchen, just look at us now, we’ve grown old without noticing,"
"Sister-in-law, I’m really sorry for the things I did in the past, thinking about it now, I was really out of line."
"Don’t talk like that, it’s all in the past, what matters is that our two families get along well from now on."
"Yes, sister-in-law is right, our two families will soon become one,"
"I remember when Xiao Jie was only this tall, and in the blink of an eye, she’s turned into such a beautiful young lady."
"Yes, I never imagined that Lin Feng would become what he is now."
"Right, with our son becoming like this, we are both very content."
"How is Lin Family Village doing now?"
"When we left, almost everything was arranged, and the prospects for development are looking great!"
"The professional team from Shen Corporation in Yuegang is amazing, they’ve thought through many things we never did."
"That’s even better, Zhao Family Village is our hometown, and its development is also a good thing."
"Yes, now every person in Zhao Family Village is living their lives with joy, they all remember to thank Lin Feng."
...
The two families sat together in cheerful conversation, sipping wine, with no semblance of the conflicts and disputes from before. The atmosphere couldn’t be better, leaving both families very happy. As they chatted, they reminisced about the old days, deeply moved. They considered what might have been if Lin Feng hadn’t had his mishap, but fortunately, Lin Feng returned safely and had changed for the better, much to their joy.
As they talked, they also discussed the changes in their hometown. The families at the table were extremely happy. Seeing Lin Family Village thriving made their hearts swell with pride. It was where they grew up, the ancestral land of the Lin Family. Ensuring the clan’s well-being provided them inner peace, fulfilling their responsibility to the people of Lin Family Village.
The more they talked, the merrier they became, enjoying the dishes Lin Feng had prepared, frequently toasting, the table filled with laughter.
Unbeknownst to them, time had passed, and a bottle of white wine had been finished, with almost all the food eaten...
"Time has flown by so fast, it’s quite late now, we should be heading back," Lin Dongchen looked at the time, realizing that several hours had unknowingly passed, and that it was time for them to leave, so he got up to say goodbye.
"Yes, it’s about time, we’ll head back first, brother Yiwen, sister-in-law, we’re leaving now, we’ll visit again when we’re free," Liu Li also felt it was late and time to depart, so she too quickly got up to say goodbye.
"That’s fine, it truly is getting late, come over to gather when you have time," Lin Yiwen stood up as he spoke, acknowledging that it was indeed late, so he did not hold Lin Dongchen’s family back any longer.
Hearing this, everyone got to their feet, and Lin Yiwen’s family walked Lin Dongchen’s family to the gates of the villa to bid them farewell, while Lin Jie pulled Lin Feng aside.
