68 -88: Uncle Gu Apologizes to You _1

“Xiao Lin, you’re here!”

As Lin Chen entered the Gu Family’s house, Bai Qian greeted him with her usual enthusiasm.

She was very satisfied with her future son-in-law.

He had good looks, extraordinary medical skills, upright values, and he was great at fighting, very MANly.

What woman wouldn’t like such a man who could provide a sense of security?

Her daughter had a great taste!

Even besides the matter of being her future son-in-law, Lin Chen’s medical skills had saved her father-in-law’s life and his fighting skills had saved her daughter’s life from a wild beast.

This alone was enough for Bai Qian to feel grateful to Lin Chen for the rest of her life.

Bai Qian’s enthusiasm was natural, while Gu Hongtao, who was sitting next to her, looked a bit awkward.

He wanted to put on airs, but it seemed like he couldn’t.

His daughter had said that Lin Chen didn’t think highly of their family, and in Lin Chen’s eyes, the Gu Family wasn’t really anything significant.

Lin Chen was highly skilled and had high aspirations.

Not to mention, even President Liu had to speak softly when asking for Lin Chen’s help, and Lin Chen could choose to ignore him.

In this regard, Gu Hongtao couldn’t compare.

People could say that Lin Chen was poor, but they couldn’t despise him.

Wanting to show some warmth, Gu Hongtao struggled to put his pride aside.

After all, Lin Chen had slapped him in the face before, without giving him any respect.

But Lin Chen seemed to act like nothing had happened and greeted him warmly, “Uncle Gu, not going out today?”

Gu Hongtao replied with a grunt and shifted his body to the side, “Rarely have a day off, too lazy to go out.

Sit.”

Hesitating for a moment, Gu Hongtao pushed the plate of sliced fruits on the tea table towards Lin Chen, “Have some fruit.”

Lin Chen was slightly surprised but immediately smiled, “Sure!”

Lin Chen picked up the toothpick on the side, poked a piece of peach, and put it in his mouth.

His actions were natural, without any restraint.

Gu Hongtao breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Xiaoxi is busy at the store and will be back for lunch.”

Lin Chen said with a laugh, “She doesn’t need to come back deliberately, I just had time today, so I came to give Old Master Gu acupuncture.

I see that he has recovered well, so there’s no need for more acupuncture after today.

Just half a month more of medication will do.”

Gu Hongtao’s face showed a smile, as his father’s recovery had lifted a weight off his chest.

After sitting for a while, Lin Chen went upstairs to give acupuncture to Old Master Gu.

After finishing the acupuncture and coming downstairs, Lin Chen was once again warmly invited by Bai Qian to stay for a meal.

Gu Hongtao also opened his mouth, “Xiao Lin, let’s eat and chat before you leave.”

“Alright!”

Bai Qian went into the kitchen to prepare lunch, while Lin Chen sat down in the living room and drank the tea that Bai Qian had brewed for him.

“The issue with President Liu has been resolved, right?”

Lin Chen said with a laugh, “He has given me a call, saying his Child is fine now.”

Gu Hongtao sighed in relief, “That’s good.

I heard that President Liu left Pingjiang in a hurry, I thought something had happened.”

Lin Chen replied, “His child became ill because someone had put a curse on him.

He rushed back to deal with the matter.

He said he would come back after it’s resolved…

What, Uncle Gu, are you still thinking about the development of the business district?”

Gu Hongtao’s face turned red, and he admitted frankly, “Ah, don’t think I’m being snobbish.

Although Haitao Real Estate has the qualifications, our strength is no match for the big real estate developers.

Originally, I didn’t have any ideas, but who knew that this incident would happen, and my ambition was reignited…”

Lin Chen smiled, “Yue Yue has told me about it, I understand.”

Gu Hongtao nodded, “Xiaoxi has mentioned your and her relationship to me.

As parents, we shouldn’t interfere in our children’s emotional lives, but I have only one daughter.

She has been spoiled since childhood, so as her father, naturally, I hope she could find a more capable man with better conditions who can take care of her for a lifetime, so she won’t have to live a hard life.”

Was he laying his cards on the table?

Disdaining that Lin Chen’s conditions were not good and that he was a poor kid, was he going to ask Lin Chen to get lost?

Well, Old Master Gu wouldn’t need acupuncture after this, and Lin Chen wouldn’t need to pretend to be Gu Yuexi’s lover either.

Why not take this opportunity to end it all?

Wouldn’t it be a perfect ending?

Lin Chen said with a laugh, “Uncle Gu, actually, the relationship between Yue Yue and me is not what you think.

You don’t have to worry, I…”

Gu Hongtao quickly raised his hand, cutting off Lin Chen’s words, “Xiao Lin, don’t misunderstand!

What I’m saying is not that I have any opinions on you, but I want to apologize to you.”

Lin Chen was stunned, “Apologize?”

Gu Hongtao said, “You must be well aware that I’ve had many complaints about you before.

I thought you were penniless, without power, background, or ability, unable to give Xiaoxi a lifetime of happiness and a superior life.

But over time, I have to admit, I misjudged you.”

He misjudged him?

Why had the tone taken a sudden turn?

Gu Hongtao stared at Lin Chen and said softly, “I heard that after you cured President Liu’s grandson, he gave you 10 million RMB as medical fees on the spot, and you asked him to donate it to children who need medical treatment but couldn’t afford it?”

Lin Chen nodded, “Yes, President Liu also added another 10 million RMB, for a total donation of 20 million.”

Gu Hongtao looked at him with a sigh, “It was only when I heard about this that I truly believed what Xiaoxi told me.

She said you were a highly capable individual with lofty aspirations, and you valued many things more important than money.

If you really wanted money, you could have a fortune at any time…”
