The Villain and the Cannon Fodder’s Mother

Chapter 258 – Had she known, she would have asked since when did he go blind! (2)

“Didn’t you pick on him for not having his own business? He’s been spending his time at that little investment firm of his as of late.”

Truth be told, his start-up had already gone IPO. It was a pretty sizable company by any stretch of imagination. It just wasn’t as grand as Shengshi Entertainment that was passed down by his father. In his defense, Shengshi Entertainment had already been established for dozens of years and was a big player in the entertainment circle realm long time ago. It wasn’t fair to compare the two of them.

A few casual words from Ms. Lin Ping and he had taken them to heart!

Lin Yiyi knew that being ambitious wasn’t a bad thing, so naturally, she was supportive of him.

Ms. Lin Ping was taken aback a little before she recalled that the entertainment company would be returned to Lu Mingzhe in the future. She tsk’d.

“That little entertainment company hardly measures up to my standard. That being said, it will lend a lot to Zhe’s qualifications when he looks for a girl in the future. People nowadays are all about wealth and status!”

And Ms. Lin Ping was the epitome of double standard. The way she treated the uncle and nephew were completely different.

Lin Yiyi was baffled. “Lu Xun’s doesn’t look any worse than Zhe. If this was 10 or so years ago and he was Zhe’s age, you would love him just as much as you love Zhe.”

This lady was your textbook mom-fan. She was particularly into adolescent little fresh meat.

She started to wonder that had Zhe been any less attractive than he was, would Ms. Lin Ping still talk about him all the time?

Ms. Lin Ping paused for a little bit and then went silent.

That was not a fair comparison.

Did he really think it would be so easy to marry her daughter?

It was her overlook that let Meng guy take advantage of her daughter. After that painful experience, she was very set on being successful this time!

Had Lu Xun not looked like he cared as much about Lin Yiyi as much as he did, Ms. Lin Ping would have for sure insisted on Lin Yiyi meeting a few other young elites and picking the best one among them.

Ms. Lin Ping did not believe that a woman who had been married once was any less worthy.

There were more men than women in this world. There were only men who couldn’t find a wife, never a woman who couldn’t find a husband, unless she chose not to. In this society, anything that a man could do, so could a woman. The competent ones could even make good money. Even if the woman wanted to remain single, they could still have babies. There were plenty of sperm banks to choose from and that was much more than a man could say about himself!

Lu Xun, who was lesser than a woman in Ms. Lin Ping’s eyes, finally finished his work for the day. It was already dark out when he walked out of his office.

Halfway through, Lu Mingzhe gave him a call. “I’m going over to have dinner at Grandma Lin’s!”

“No, you can’t go!” Boss Lu rejected him without even thinking it through.

He didn’t even have time to go, how could Lu Mingzhe go?!

That was not fair!

Lu Mingzhe went silent for a few seconds, then said, “I was merely informing you of it.”

His subtext was, I wasn’t asking!

Just like that, the teenage boy had successfully put a long face on his uncle.

After a little while, Lu Xun received a call from Lin Yiyi. “I have Zhe coming over for dinner. I’ll give him a ride home later tonight.”

Lu Xun, “……”

What was the point of him even being upset anymore?

He turned on his cellphone, checked his own bank account, and secretly did an estimation on Ms. Lin Ping’s net worth. He wondered if he would be able match hers in another 50 years. That seemed to be a bit of a stretch. QAQ

No wonder Ms. Lin Ping was picking on him left and right!

What did her having a high standard for him mean?

It meant that she had high hopes for him!

Had she not thought that he could rise to her standard, would she still talk to him calmly that way that she did? Giving this lady’s personality, of course not!

All in all, everything pointed to the fact that his odds were good and he didn’t think that Ms. Lin Ping was asking too much of him.

Luckily, Lin Yiyi had no idea what was going through his mind right now. Had she known, she would have asked since when did he go blind!
