Chapter 104: Birthday Celebration
Due to the strict blockade of the martial arts conference, everyone is hearsay, and the matter is getting more and more magical.
Some people say that the mysterious master is the son of a certain great family in Dragon City, the capital of the Xia Kingdom.
Some people say that he is the apprentice of a certain grandmaster.
Jiang Ling'er quipped: "Seven feet long, seven feet in arms, Lin Chen, they say that you are like a gorilla." ”
Lin Chen just smiled faintly at this: "Don't worry about laughing, the food is cold, don't you still have to go to record in the afternoon?" ”
Jiang Linger's career started, and after releasing a music album, she became a hot rookie singer in the entertainment industry, and is now busy preparing for the next album.
The school naturally gave Jiang Ling'er the green light, allowing her to enter and leave the school gate at any time.
"Yes, I only remembered this reminder from you, and I really starved to death." Jiang Ling'er touched her belly.
After lunch, Jiang Ling'er asked, "Lin Chen, do you have any plans after the holiday?" ”
Lin Chen smiled: "I want to go back to my hometown to accompany my parents." ”
"Okay, I'll go play with you when I have time." Jiang Ling'er said, and then got into the nanny car and left.
Lin Chen returned to the villa to clean up, after he came back from Red Leaf City, he specially brought back those imperial spirit wooden boxes containing blue crystals, used these materials to refine two bracelets, and burned the talisman formation on them.
Before, his parents were busy running business in other places, and Lin Chen didn't have time to bring them, so going back this time and letting his parents wear it can also make him feel at ease.
After instructing Shang Minghai to stay and watch his family, Lin Chen took the high-speed train back to his hometown.
Lin Chen's hometown, Lishui City, is located in the northwest of Jiangbei County, a small city surrounded by mountains, and due to underdeveloped transportation, the economy here is relatively backward compared to other places.
It wasn't until the high-speed rail was repaired that Lishui City slowly developed.
However, Lishui City started slowly, and more young people are still accustomed to running to major cities in Jiangdong for development.
Lin Chen looked at the scenery outside the window, although these scenery were already memories of three hundred years ago for him, they were still the same as yesterday.
Getting closer and closer to his hometown, even as an immortal emperor, he has a feeling of being close to home.
Coming to the front of the house, Lin Chen looked at the familiar two-story building in front of him, took a deep breath, and walked into the courtyard.
His father, Lin Hai, wore round-framed glasses and white temples, and was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.
Mother Lu Ruilan wore an apron to set the dining table, turned around and saw her son in the courtyard, and hurriedly greeted: "Hurry up and enter the house, it's cold outside, hurry up and warm up, you kid, you're still wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt on such a cold day!" ”
Lin Chen scratched his head, with his current cultivation, ordinary heat and cold could no longer affect him.
But his parents were worried about his health, so he obediently put on a coat.
Lin Chen walked into the house and smiled at his father, "Dad." ”
Lin Hai nodded: "Well, I'm back, sit down for a while, and we'll eat right away." ”
Lin Chen put down his backpack, took out the two bracelets inside and handed them to his parents: "Parents, this is a gift for you, you must wear it with you, you can't take it off." ”
On these two bracelets, in addition to the talisman formation, Lin Chen also left a trace of true yuan, the material of the imperial spirit wood can preserve the true yuan for a long time, once there is any danger to his parents, Lin Chen can detect it as soon as possible.
Lu Ruilan smiled and put it on her hand, looking very fond of it.
Lin Hai was a little disgusted: "I'm a big man, isn't it a joke to take this kind of thing out." ”
Lu Ruilan rolled her eyes: "My son kindly gave you a gift, but you still dislike this and that?" ”
"Okay, okay, I'll just wear it." The father said this, but in his heart he was secretly happy, this is the first time that his son has given himself a gift since he has grown up.
Today's meal was very rich, and Lin Chen said with a smile: "Mom, prepare so many dishes, they are all I like to eat." ”
"Knowing that you are coming back today, we will give you an early birthday, and tomorrow we will go to your grandfather's house to celebrate your birthday." Lin Hai said, but when he mentioned Lin Chen's grandfather, his expression was obviously a little unnatural.
Lin Chen also remembered at this time that he and his grandfather had the same birthday, so whenever his grandfather wanted to have a big birthday, his parents would celebrate his birthday in advance.
It is said that the marriage of his parents was severely opposed by the Lu family, and his mother had a quarrel with the family and broke off the relationship for a time.
It wasn't until after giving birth to Lin Chen that under the persuasion of his grandmother, his grandfather allowed Lin Chen's family to celebrate his birthday every year.
Lin Chen naturally didn't have a good impression of the Lu family, and he didn't want to have anything to do with them, but after all, it was his mother's maiden family, and he didn't want to embarrass his mother.
A family of three sat down to eat, Lin Chen looked at his parents who were a little haggard, and knew that his parents had worked hard for the company during this time, so he said.
"Dad, Mom, if you think it's hard to start a company, it's better not to do it, I'm doing some business now, and I'm not short of money."
Lin Hai smiled when he heard this: "You kid, how can you say that you won't do the company's affairs, you still study obediently, and come to help your father after graduation, you don't have to worry about money." ”
Lin Chen couldn't persuade his father, and he didn't speak anymore.
He knew that his father, as an abandoned illegitimate child, had an obsession in his heart, that is, he must make a career for the Lin family.
However, my father didn't know that no matter how big and successful the business was, in the eyes of a martial arts family, he was just an ordinary person like an ant.
What's more, the Lin family's power is not weaker than that of the merchants, they are also a veritable century-old martial arts family, and their roots in the Central Plains Mansion are even deeper than the merchants.
Lin Chen didn't want to hit his father, and when he destroyed the Lin family, he naturally untied his father's knot.
After dinner, Lu Ruilan handed Lin Chen a beautifully packaged box, and Lin Chen opened it and found that it was a limited edition watch of the Fuxi brand.
Fuxi is the world's top luxury brand, the watch body is completely made of blue crystal material, the price of ordinary watches is about two or three hundred thousand, and this limited edition watch, at least one million starts, and it is priceless.
"This is a birthday gift that your father specially prepared for you when he heard that you performed well in school, and the company's half-year profit was spent like this." Lu Ruilan said with some distress.
Lin Hai looked indifferent: "If my son behaves well, it will be regarded as a reward, and he will have face when he goes out in the future." ”
Lin Chen smiled and put on his watch, opened his hand and hugged his mother, then walked up to Lin Hai and gave him a hug: "Thank you, Dad, thank you, Mom!" ”
Lu Ruilan smiled, but Lin Hai was a little uncomfortable with his son's enthusiasm, and moved his body awkwardly: "Go away, go away, what are you doing with such a tight hug." ”
After Lin Hai saw Lin Chen this time, he felt that this son had changed a lot, and the two fathers and sons had never been so close before.
The mother smiled: "That's when my son grows up and is sensible." ”
Lin Chen didn't speak, his relationship with his father was not good in his previous life.
Because his father wanted his son Jackie Chan since he was a child, he put a lot of pressure on Lin Chen, and Lin Chen, who was in the rebellious period at that time, made his father angry.
It wasn't until later that he learned about his father's tragic childhood and the obsession buried deep in his heart that Lin Chen slowly understood.
And just after the father and son reconciled, Lin Chen was strong because of his strength. The rape incident was imprisoned, and his parents went to Lin's house for help, but they were thrown into the wilderness with their legs broken and waiting to die, Lin Chen's happy life came to an abrupt end, and after that, only hatred remained in his heart.
Lin Chen, who returned from rebirth, naturally wanted to repair this missing family relationship and make up for his regrets.
……
In the past two days, Lin Chen's family set off for his grandfather's house.
The old house of the Lu family is located in the south of Lishui City, which is located in the suburbs and has a pleasant environment, which is very suitable for the elderly.
Lin Chen's grandfather, Lu Wendong, was the mayor of Chengnan District, and after he retired, he lived here to live for a long time.
The third daughter married a business executive, but it was also considered to be competitive, but only the youngest daughter fell in love with a man who had nothing.
Although the Lu family in Lishui City is not a big family, it still has a deep foundation in the local area, in addition to Lu Wendong, several of his brothers are also scattered, and with the help of each other, the power in Lishui City is not small.
Accompanied by his eldest grandson Lu Feng, Lu Wendong walked to the hall and found his wife Yang Xin looking at the door when he came to the courtyard.
"What are you doing, old woman? Don't hurry up and come in! ”
Yang Xin bowed down and said, "Master, Ruilan is coming back, I'll wait for them for a while, and I don't know what Xiao Chen has grown like now." ”
"What's so beautiful, the water spilled by the married daughter, do you still expect their family to fight for our Lu family?" Lu Wendong shook his head and turned his head to leave.
Lin Chen's family got out of the car.
"Mom."
Lin Hai and Lu Ruilan stepped forward.
Lin Chen also stepped forward to greet him: "Grandma." ”
Yang Xin touched Lin Chen's head affectionately, and said with a smile: "Xiaochen has grown so big, come in, your grandfather has been waiting for a long time." ”
The Lu family has always valued sons over daughters, Yang Xin said this, naturally to make face for her husband, Lin Chen's family knew it, but they didn't expose it, and followed their grandmother in.
Walking into the hall, in addition to my grandparents, the eldest uncle's family, the second uncle's family, and the third aunt's family all arrived.
Lu Wendong is the second oldest in the family, and there is an older brother and a younger brother in the family, and the people who come to celebrate his birthday almost fill the hall.
When they saw Lin Chen's family, everyone glanced at them with disdain.
Lin Chen's mother didn't listen to the family's arrangement at the beginning, and insisted on marrying Lin Hai, a poor boy, which caused a big conflict with the family and almost broke up.
If it weren't for Yang Xin's persuasion, the relationship would have been severed long ago.
Lu Wendong, the head of the Lu family, never wanted to see Lin Chen's family, and the rest of the family naturally did not have any good feelings.
In the huge hall, only a little girl waved her hand and beckoned.
"Brother Lin Chen, fourth aunt, uncle, come here to sit."
