The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 88 Uncle Gu Apologizes to You

"Kobayashi, you're here."

When Lin Chen entered the Gu family home, Bai Qian greeted him warmly as always. She was very satisfied with this prospective son-in-law.

A handsome man with superb medical skills, sound values, and exceptional fighting ability—what woman wouldn't like such a man who gives her a sense of security?

My daughter has great taste!
Moreover, even without mentioning the matter of her future son-in-law, the fact that Lin Chen saved her father-in-law's life with his medical skills and rescued her daughter from a pack of wolves with his martial arts was enough for Bai Qian to be grateful to Lin Chen for the rest of her life.

Bai Qian was warm and natural, but Gu Hongtao, who was sitting next to her, looked a little awkward.

He wanted to put on airs, but it seemed a bit too much for him. His daughter had said that the other party had never thought much of him in the first place, and the Gu family meant nothing to Lin Chen. The other party was capable and had high aspirations.

Putting everything else aside, Liu Zhenhao had to beg Lin Chen in a low voice, while Lin Chen could ignore him. In this respect, Gu Hongtao couldn't compare.

You can say Lin Chen is poor, but you have no right to look down on him.

He wanted to show some affection, but he was also a little embarrassed, since Lin Chen had previously given him the cold shoulder and shown him no respect.

Lin Chen, however, acted as if nothing had happened, and greeted him with a smile: "Uncle Gu, you didn't go out?"

Gu Hongtao hummed in agreement and shifted his body to the side: "It's a rare day off, I'm too lazy to move, I'll sit down."

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Hongtao pushed the plate of cut fruit on the coffee table toward Lin Chen: "Eat some fruit."

Lin Chen was slightly surprised, then smiled and said, "Okay!"

Lin Chen picked up a toothpick stuck on the side, forked a piece of peach, and put it in his mouth. His movements were natural and without any restraint.

Gu Hongtao breathed a sigh of relief: "Xiao Xi is busy at the shop, she'll be back for lunch."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "There's no need to come back on purpose. I just happened to have some time today, so I came to give the old man an acupuncture treatment. He seems to be recovering quite well, so he doesn't need any more acupuncture after today's treatment. He just needs to take medicine for another half month."

A smile appeared on Gu Hongtao's face. After all, his father's recovery had put his mind at ease.

Lin Chen sat for a while, then went upstairs to give the old man acupuncture.

After finishing his acupuncture and going downstairs, Lin Chen was once again warmly invited to stay for dinner by Bai Qian.

Gu Hongtao also spoke up, "Xiao Lin, have some food before you leave, let's talk."

"Okay!" 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 made for him.

"Has the matter with Mr. Liu been resolved?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "He called me once, and the child is fine now."

Gu Hongtao breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. I heard that President Liu left Pingjiang in a hurry, and I thought something had happened."

Lin Chen replied, "The child is sick because he was bewitched. He rushed back to deal with this matter. He said he would come back after he finished dealing with it... What, Uncle Gu, are you still thinking about the commercial district development?"

Gu Hongtao blushed and said frankly, "Hey, don't think your Uncle Gu is being snobbish. Although Haitao Real Estate is qualified, its strength can't compare to those big real estate developers. Originally, I didn't have any ideas, but who knew that this happened later, it made my heart burn with passion again..."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Yueyue told me about it, and I understand."

Gu Hongtao nodded: "Xiaoxi told me about you and her. As parents, we shouldn't interfere in our children's love lives, but I only have one daughter. She has never suffered much since she was a child. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she has been spoiled. So, as a father, I naturally hope that my daughter can find a man with good conditions and ability who can take care of her for the rest of her life and let her never have to live a hard life."

Is this a showdown?
Disliking his own circumstances, being a poor guy, he's planning to kick him out?

That's good. Grandpa Gu won't need acupuncture anymore, and Gu Yuexi and I won't have to pretend to be lovers anymore. Wouldn't it be perfect to end things here?

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Uncle Gu, actually, my relationship with Yueyue isn't what you think. You don't need to worry, I..."

Gu Hongtao quickly reached out and interrupted Lin Chen: "Xiao Lin, don't misunderstand! I'm not saying this because I have a problem with you, but because I want to apologize to you."

Lin Chen was stunned: "Apologize?"

Gu Hongtao said, "You must know very well that I had many complaints about you before, thinking that you had no money, power, background, or ability and could not provide Xiaoxi with a happy and superior life for the rest of her life. But after this period of time, I have to admit that I misjudged you."

Did you make a mistake?

Why the sudden change in tone?
Gu Hongtao stared at Lin Chen and said softly, "I heard that you cured President Liu's grandson, and President Liu gave you ten million yuan in treatment fees on the spot. You asked him to donate it to children who need medical treatment but don't have the money?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, President Liu also added another ten million, making a total donation of twenty million."

Gu Hongtao sighed, "When I heard about this, I truly believed what Xiaoxi told me. She said you're a capable person, ambitious beyond your wildest dreams, and that you value many things more than money. She said if you really wanted money, you could have a fortune anytime..."
