CHAPTER 467: CHAPTER 107: DAD IS HERE

Xu Lin set off at 10:40, and a little over seven hours later, at six in the afternoon, he arrived at the community in the provincial capital where they were staying.

It was getting dark, so they just made it before nightfall.

Mom came down to meet them after receiving Rong Xiyi’s message.

"Let’s go out for dinner later!"

Mom suggested.

"Mom, where are we going to eat?" Rong Xiyi cheerfully hugged Ms. Ren’s left arm.

"Mom recently found a nice Zhejiang cuisine restaurant, I’ll take you to try it later."

Ms. Ren turned to look at her son walking behind, "We’re having Zhejiang food later, how do you feel about that, Xu Lin?"

"I have no objections, whatever you say." Xu Lin had nothing to say.

They went home and put their things away.

Just then, Chi Linyue sent a message asking if he had arrived. Chi Linyue had timed it, and theoretically, Xu Lin should have reached his destination by now.

Xu Lin replied, "Just got home."

Chi Linyue: "Okay, good to know you’re home."

Half an hour later, the three of them went out for dinner and took the opportunity to stroll around and buy some things.

They didn’t return home until ten at night.

There wasn’t much activity tonight, and Rong Xiyi ended up sleeping with Mom.

Xu Lin went to bed early.

The next morning.

Rong Xiyi pushed open the door and woke Xu Lin up.

"What?"

"Xu Lin, take us to work later, I have to go to Mom’s law firm for an internship!"

Xu Lin thought there was something urgent.

"Alright."

Got up, washed up, and had breakfast.

At eight o’clock, Xu Lin drove the two of them to Mom’s law firm.

Mom’s law firm is quite famous here in the provincial capital. She herself is one of the two partners of the firm, and the big boss is another very well-known lawyer in the industry.

This firm’s business is sixty percent within the province, forty percent outside, and they handle quite a few big cases.

Xu Lin arrived at the firm a little after eight.

Out of boredom, he went inside to take a look.

The firm’s employees had just started work, and when they saw Ms. Ren come in, followed by a young man and woman, they asked who they were.

Ms. Ren enthusiastically said, "These are my son and daughter!"

Everyone suddenly understood, but were very surprised.

Ms. Ren is nearly forty, yet she’s the most beautiful woman in the firm, without a doubt.

Rong Xiyi is also very beautiful.

Xu Lin is very handsome as well.

Moreover, compared to before college, Xu Lin’s temperament has changed quite a bit, given his experiences, exposure to the world, more money in his pocket, and having read a lot of books. Naturally, his demeanor has subtly changed, so even without any buffs, Xu Lin gives off a unique vibe.

These things about temperament and aura can indeed be cultivated postnatally.

"Wow, Sister Ren, so this handsome guy is Mr. Xu?"

"He’s just like the pictures online with that side profile!"

"So handsome!"

Inside the firm, several young women gasped in admiration and chatted with Xu Lin.

Xu Lin had a brief conversation with them for a few minutes.

Meanwhile, Ms. Ren introduced Rong Xiyi to everyone, mentioning that she would be interning there for the next three weeks.

Xu Lin stayed at the firm for over an hour, chatting casually with everyone.

He felt the firm’s atmosphere was great and the people seemed nice, but busy, of course.

After leaving the firm, Xu Lin went straight back home.

There are quite a few things Xu Lin needs to deal with before the New Year, he needs to handle matters with his apprentices.

So, for the next few days, Xu Lin spent most of his time at home teaching his apprentices, and also took out four hours every day to write songs in preparation for future use.

In the mornings and afternoons, Xu Lin’s routine remained the same; in the morning, he took Ms. Ren and the two others to work, and in the afternoon, he picked them up to go home.

Over the course of a few days, Rong Xiyi gradually got into the swing of things at the law firm, even if her main tasks were running errands.

Besides, she didn’t major in law in college, but Rong Xiyi is intelligent and eager to learn, so she stayed by Mom’s side, learning how she handled cases.

The date turned to the 27th.

Xu Lin suddenly received a call from his dad.

Honestly, Xu Lin was quite surprised; he hadn’t spoken to his dad for a long time.

"I heard from your mom that you’re in the provincial capital?"

"I’m in the provincial capital."

"I’ll be in the provincial capital in half an hour."

"Do you want me to pick you up?"

"Dad’s driving here, let me pick you up, give me an address."

Xu Lin sent him the address via WeChat.

About an hour later, Xu Lin went downstairs and saw his dad, whom he hadn’t seen in half a year.

The last time they met was during the Qingming Festival.

Xu Lin’s dad is named Xu Cheng, and he’s 1.83 meters tall, very tall and handsome, a mature middle-aged man with a neatly trimmed beard and sleeked-back hair. He doesn’t hunch and maintains a fit physique.

In short, he’s very handsome and has a strong masculine charm.

Among the middle-aged group often characterized by paunchy, greasy, balding men, Xu Lin’s dad was an outlier; even the so-called top-tier men on TV aren’t as handsome as Xu Lin’s dad.

When Xu Lin was little, he wanted to grow up to be as handsome as his dad.

In truth, Xu Cheng has been handsome for half his life.

Perhaps when he gets old, he’ll still be a handsome old man.

Xu Cheng told him when Xu Lin was little that he pursued Ms. Ren by asking for her contact information at her school during the day, and then in the evening, after drinking five beers for courage, he called her and said, "This is Xu Cheng, be my girlfriend!"

His abrupt confession caught Mom off guard, leaving her stammering and speechless.
