The Master Goes Down the Mountain: I Don't Want to be a Son-In-Law/
Chapter 208 Cat and Mouse Game
After experiencing a short period of excitement, Wutong House was once again deserted..
Lin Manqing and Ding Xiang went to Qiantang University, Lin Yun also went back to high school, and only had half a day to practice martial arts on weekends..
As for Sister Mei and the others, they were experts to begin with. After receiving Li Muchen's guidance, they mostly cultivated their own insights..
And the business of Jianghu Restaurant is booming recently, which also makes them less idle..
Other than Li Muchen and Bai Jing, Xu Guoli and Aunt Qing were the only ones left in Wutong Residence..
With Xu Guoli guarding the door, Aunt Qing in charge of food and daily life, and Bai Jing protecting him, Li Muchen simply began to cultivate..
Before going to the capital, he needed to digest his recent understanding of the world of mortals..
In addition, he had to refine some more medicines and charms to carry with him in case of emergency..
Before he went into seclusion, he went to the Lin family again..
Coincidentally, Lang Yuwen was also in the Lin family. He and Lin Qiusheng reported to Li Muchen about the recent business situation..
"The Yuan family has suddenly made efforts in the past two days..
Lin Qiusheng said without worry,"We are in a hurry on all lines, the capital chain has been broken, and the tactics of tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall will not be delayed for long.".
I don't know why, but the Yuan Family's attack this time is almost regardless of the cost. It seems that they want to eat us up in one bite..
”
Lang Yuwen said: "This also just shows that Yuan Jia has been anxious, as long as we survive this wave, perhaps we can survive.".
”
" But how can we survive this wave?" Lin Qiusheng said." The Yuan Family is ten times stronger than us, and we have been isolated by them. Other families and forces either join the Yuan Family or watch the fire from afar. We are now under siege from all sides..
”
Lang Yuwen's thin body sat upright, his fingers holding the cigarette to his mouth and taking a light puff..
When smoking, his nose twitched habitually, driving the glasses on the bridge of his nose to move slightly, and behind the lenses were his deep eyes..
"We need to adjust our tactics..
”
Lang Yuwen exhaled a long puff of smoke. The mist spread and covered his lenses, but it could not cover the flashing light in his eyes..
Next, Lin Qiusheng nodded repeatedly as he explained a series of strategies regarding business adjustments and capital transfers..
Li Muchen doesn't understand business, so it's like listening to a book.
He doesn't care about these things either. Anyway, Lang Yuwen is here, and Lin Qiusheng, who is good at defending, should be the best partner..
Since ancient times, the most important thing for those who have achieved great things is to be able to use people, to know people well, and to use people well..
After Lang Yuwen and Lin Qiusheng finished discussing, Li Muchen only asked one question: " How long can I last?"
"If the Yuan family doesn't make mistakes, it will take at most two months..
If the Yuan family makes a mistake, I have a series of counterattack plans that will make them pay enough to make them regret it..
”
Lang Yuwen pushed his glasses, his eyes revealing a trace of ruthlessness, like a general on the battlefield, seeing the enemy's flaws..
" Of course." Lang Yuwen changed the topic and looked at Li Muchen." Without backup, this is not enough to change the final result..
A mouse may bite a cat, but it can never kill a cat..
”
Lin Qiusheng was slightly dissatisfied with Lang Yuwen comparing the Lin family to a mouse, but he could not refute it..
In fact, compared to the Yuan family, the Lin family is like rats fighting cats..
Li Muchen suddenly remembered the cartoon he had seen when he was a child. A cat is always chasing a mouse..
At that time, he and his grandfather lived in a garbage compound, and the TV set was also picked up by junk. Because there was no line, only an antenna could be set up, and one or two channels could be received vaguely..
Later, Lilac's father did not know where to get a pot lid, and he could receive many TV stations at once..
He and Ma Shan often nest in Dingxiang's house to watch TV. In order to watch cartoons, they even forget to eat. They were also spanked by Grandpa..
The game of cat and mouse is ongoing and will never stop..
He remembered the demon that possessed Yuan Shijie..
Who is the cat and who is the mouse?
After a short pause, Li Muchen returned to his senses and smiled,"As long as you can persist for two months.".
Don't worry, I'll take action when I can't hold on.
”
Lang Yuwen didn't ask any questions. He just glanced at him. There was curiosity, anticipation and, of course, trust in his eyes..
Although Lin Qiusheng had more doubts, he didn't ask too much. After so many things had happened, the future of the Lin family seemed to rest on this son-in-law..
He was even a little worried. After all, this son-in-law's title was still fake. He couldn't wait for his daughter Lin Manqing and Li Muchen to get married as soon as possible. After all, how much binding force would that engagement have? If one day his son-in-law changed his mind, wouldn't the Lin family be in danger?
After symbolically listening to the business report, Li Muchen went to visit Lin Shangyi, the Lin family's old master..
:.
Lin Shangyi is now in high spirits.
When he saw Li Muchen, he praised his medicine repeatedly..
" Muchen, I feel like I've returned to my youth. Even if there's a tiger now, I dare to fight it! Hahahaha…"
Lin Shangyi laughed heartily.
The Lin family is also very happy.
Only Li Muchen knew that Lin Shangyi's days were numbered..
He was now relying entirely on the efficacy of the Essence Recovery Pill and the Genuine Qi that Li Muchen had infused into his body..
Li Muchen had promised Lin Shangyi that he would definitely let him see the moment he and Lin Manqing got engaged..
Yan Huimin personally cooked a light but sumptuous meal.
Li Muchen and the Lin family had a lively meal together. Even Lin Yun was called back, and he felt a sense of relaxation and joy in the tense atmosphere..
During the dinner, Li Muchen found that Chen Wenxue, who was good at joining in the fun, did not come, so he asked Lang Yuwen.
Lang Yuwen said Chen Wenxue went back to Shenzhou. He seemed to be in a hurry when he left. It should be a family matter..
Li Muchen didn't think much about it, but Lang Yuwen said, intentionally or unintentionally,
"Although Chen Shaoye is usually giggling, he is actually working very hard..
There's nothing we can do about it. It's a concubine's son. His status in the Chen family is inferior to other young masters..
”
Li Muchen was stunned..
Concubine?
Doesn't that mean bastard?
Lang Yuwen seemed to see Li Muchen's question and said,"Literature his mother did not marry into the Chen family. Literature grew up with his mother when he was a child. Later, he was claimed by Master Chen.".
His mother refused to enter the Chen family's door.
”
Li Muchen finally understood why Chen Wenxue had such an unyielding spirit. It was completely different from his cynical appearance. It was because of his mother..
He could imagine the status of a son born out of wedlock in the Chen family. At any time, he would definitely think that he could not embarrass his mother..
"Uncle Wolf, you are close to the Chen family. If there is any trouble with literature, you must tell me..
”
Li Muchen was very clear about Chen Wenxue's character. On the surface, he was hip-hop, but on the inside, he was proud. When something happened, he would not ask for help easily..
Lang Yuwen mentioned this to Li Muchen, naturally hoping that Li Muchen could help Chen Wenxue..
If he could follow Chen Wenxue to Hecheng, it meant that their relationship was extraordinary..
When Li Muchen took the initiative to mention it, Lang Yuwen smiled happily and said,"It should be nothing serious. If there is something, I will definitely tell you.".
”
Mrs. Lin and Yan Huimin greeted each other. Other than Old Master Lin, Li Muchen was the one she took care of the most..
While feeding Li Muchen some vegetables and soup, she kept asking,"Is it delicious?"
"Delicious, delicious!"
Li Muchen admitted that Madam Lin's cooking was really good. Although it was not as good as Master Rong's authentic Beijing chef's cooking, the exquisite home-cooked dishes had a special flavor..
Madam Lin smiled when she saw that Li Muchen liked her..
" If you like it, I'll cook it for you every day after you and Manqing get married!"
Li Muchen felt a little embarrassed. Why did they mention marriage?.
Lin Qiusheng reminded him,"You said that. Young people have to live a small life. What's going on with an old woman following you every day?".
”
Madam Lin said unhappily," Do you think I'm old? Hmph! If you despise me, my son-in-law won't. In the future, I'll live with my daughter and son-in-law. You can eat your jealousy!"
Her words caused the whole family to burst into laughter.
Even Li Muchen couldn't help laughing..
