NOVEL NEXT Chapter 63
Chapter 63: Finding a Girlfriend for Her Son:
Just as he had jumped off the building, Qi Lin was reborn.
The tragic deaths of his parents still felt like they had happened just yesterday.
Seeing his mother again, Qi Lin could no longer hold back.
He hugged her tightly, crying like a child. “Mom, I was wrong, I was really wrong. I never want to be apart from you again. In this life, I want you both to live well and reach a hundred years old.”
Fang Yuanyuan looked at her son in surprise, confused about what had happened.
But seeing that he seemed to have matured overnight, she smiled in relief and gently patted his head. “Silly boy, your dad and I are just busy with work. No matter how busy we are, don’t we still find time to come home and see you?”
“If you really want to spend more time with us, then study business properly. When the time comes, take over the farming company so your dad and I can retire early.”
“Also, you need to find a wife soon and give me a chubby grandson. Otherwise, when I retire, I’ll have nothing to do.”
Qi Lin was still immersed in the warmth of his mother’s embrace when someone pulled him away from behind.
Qi Feng chuckled and pushed his son onto the sofa. “Alright, that’s enough. This is my wife. You’ve been hugging her forever—do you think I don’t exist?”
“Go check out the gifts your mom got you. She’s been working late nights for days. Let her get some rest.”
Hearing that Fang Yuanyuan had been up for several nights, Qi Lin felt another pang of heartache.
It was probably because the piglets had just been released into the pens, and his mother was too worried about accidents, so she had stayed up watching over them.
In the past, Qi Lin had been ignorant. He always thought that as long as his parents were there to handle things, he could just enjoy life without a care.
But now, seeing their exhausted faces, he felt like he needed to do something.
Click!
Just then, the villa door opened.
Qi Xueyao had returned from work.
When she saw that Fang Yuanyuan and Qi Feng were also home, she hesitated for a moment.
Perhaps because Qi Lin had bullied her too much over the past few days, she momentarily forgot to greet them.
Seeing that it was Qi Xueyao, the smile on Fang Yuanyuan’s face immediately faded.
She was well aware that her son had feelings for Qi Xueyao.
But as a woman herself, she could see at a glance that Qi Xueyao didn’t like her son—she even seemed to dislike him.
As a mother, of course, she sided with her own child.
She had taken Qi Xueyao in, given her food and shelter, and yet she always treated her precious son with a cold attitude.
If it weren’t for her husband Qi Feng, she would have kicked Qi Xueyao out long ago.
“Xueyao, have your uncle and I ever mistreated you? You come home and don’t even bother to say hello. Or do you just not see us as family at all?”
Fang Yuanyuan’s tone was indifferent.
“Uncle, Auntie…”
Qi Xueyao finally snapped out of it and lowered her head as she greeted them.
Qi Lin was also slightly stunned at this moment.
Maybe in his past life, he had been too careless and never noticed this detail.
His mother must have seen that Qi Xueyao didn’t like him, which was why she was standing up for him.
No wonder Qi Xueyao had turned so dark and extreme in his past life.
Thinking of this, Qi Lin looked at his mother warmly.
The saying “Only a mother is truly good” was indeed true.
No matter what, she always stood by her son.
“Mr. Qi, Mrs. Fang, dinner is ready.”
The atmosphere in the living room was a bit tense.
Fortunately, dinner was ready, and Aunt Chen called everyone to the table.
“Hmph~”
Fang Yuanyuan snorted softly and let Qi Xueyao off the hook.
“Son, come eat, and check out the gifts I brought you.”
Fang Yuanyuan held Qi Lin’s arm, smiling as she led him to the dining table.
A mother’s love for her son—it was so strong that even Qi Feng felt a bit jealous.
“Xueyao, your aunt loves Qi Lin too much. Don’t take her words to heart.”
Qi Feng comforted Qi Xueyao, who looked a bit down.
In reality, he was reminding her to be nicer to Qi Lin and not always treat him coldly. Otherwise, things would only get worse for her in the future.
This also showed that, although Qi Feng was always jealous of his son, when it came to doting on him, he was no less indulgent than Fang Yuanyuan.
“Auntie is an elder. How could I take offense at what she says?”
Qi Xueyao forced a smile and silently walked toward the dining table.
The family sat down to eat, the atmosphere warm and lively.
“Aunt Chen, don’t go back to the kitchen. Sit with us and eat. I’ve said it before—you raised me, and in my heart, you’re like my real mother.”
Seeing Aunt Chen getting up to return to the kitchen, Qi Lin quickly stopped her.
Fang Yuanyuan looked at her son in surprise. She hadn’t expected him to say something like that.
In the past, Qi Lin had never been a bad person, but he had been quite self-centered.
As long as he was enjoying himself, he never cared about anyone else’s feelings.
“Young Master Qi, you’re speaking nonsense again. I’m just a housekeeper. How could I be your mother? I don’t even have the right to sit at the same table with you.”
Aunt Chen panicked, worried that Fang Yuanyuan would mind Qi Lin calling her ‘mom.’
But Fang Yuanyuan simply smiled warmly. “Sister Chen, Qi Lin meant what he said. My husband and I have always seen you as family. Just listen to him and sit down with us.”
“T-Then… alright.”
Aunt Chen smiled, a little embarrassed, and finally took a seat at the table.
“Sister Chen, if I remember correctly, you have a daughter, right? Her name is Chen Shuyi?”
“I remember seeing her when she was little. She was so adorable, and I even said back then that she’d grow up to be a beauty.”
Fang Yuanyuan placed a piece of his favorite corn pork ribs into Qi Lin’s bowl and casually brought it up.
She didn’t like how her son kept staring at Qi Xueyao.
She had no intention of letting her precious son be someone else’s lapdog.
Rather than letting him waste his time on Qi Xueyao, she might as well pick a girlfriend for him herself.
