At the age of 38, he went to college and his children were classmates.

blah blah blah!

Lin Moxuan dropped the chopsticks he was holding onto the dining table.

He looked at Shen Qiushan in shock: "Say that again?"

"Who are you going to take care of?"

"Dad, Momo is pregnant!"

"The child is mine; in fact, we've been together for a long time!"

Shen Qiushan laid his cards on the table.

"you"

"You two"

He pointed at Shen Qiushan, then looked at his own daughter.

Lin Moxuan had previously felt that the relationship between the two was unusual and had been guarding against such a thing happening.

It just so happens that the old saying holds true: you can guard against anything, but it's hard to guard against a thief within your own family!

In the end, her second daughter was still tricked away by Shen Qiushan, that "yellow-haired guy"!

With a "bang," Lin Moxuan slammed his hand on the dining table and stormed out of the restaurant.

"Jiayu, stop your dad! Is he going to get a knife?"

Chen Qingzhu called out to Lin Jiayu, who was sitting at the door.

"Eh!"

Lin Jiayu responded and quickly chased after him.

"Dad, don't be impulsive."

"Although I was quite surprised when I heard the news, after thinking about it carefully, this outcome is actually quite good. It's good for both Xiaoxiao and Yanran. We're still family, and it's even stronger than before."

"When you found out?"

"When did you find out?"

Lin Moxuan grasped the key information in his daughter's words and asked with a frown.

"The day I went to pick them up at the airport."

Lin Jiayu answered truthfully.

"Since you knew, why didn't you tell me?"

"Uh"

Lin Jiayu scratched her head and whispered, "Mom said she was afraid you'd get emotional if you found out, so she thought she'd tell you later."

"Yanran thinks so too."

"So you all knew!"

"You're the only one who didn't know?"

Lin Moxuan's eyes widened in disbelief, and he suddenly felt betrayed by all his relatives.

"Alright, you're all in cahoots, stop following me!"

With that, Lin Moxuan went straight into the study and locked the door.

"Dad, calm down. It's a happy occasion after all."

Lin Jiayu could only try to persuade them through the door, but there was no sound from inside.

At this moment, Chen Qingzhu and Shen Yanran also caught up.

"Alright, let's go back and eat!"

Chen Qingzhu understood her husband well. If Lin Moxuan had grabbed a kitchen knife or baseball bat, he might have actually started a fight. But right now, he was just locking himself in his study, so he was probably fine. Once he figured things out, everything would be alright.

Besides understanding Lin Moxuan's personality, Chen Qingzhu also understands the way "Mayor Lin" does things after living together for so many years. Having spent his whole life in the system, he weighs the pros and cons almost every day.

This gene is ingrained in her bones, so she's not afraid of Lin Moxuan locking himself in his study to think; she's just afraid he might suddenly lose his temper.

Given the current situation, weighing the pros and cons, Lin Moxuan ultimately had no choice but to compromise.

After all, her daughter was pregnant and of a certain age, so she couldn't very well ask Lin Xiamo to have an abortion.

Moreover, Shen Qiushan today is completely different from the "Yellow Hair" of 20 years ago.

Back then, Shen Qiushan was utterly useless, but the current Shen Qiushan is a different story.

He is already a famous writer with assets worth hundreds of millions.

Two songs he wrote casually became hits all over the country, and he has become a synonym for middle-aged comeback in the minds of countless people!

Shen Qiushan is a perfect match for Lin Moxuan's daughter.

"Grandma, will this work?"

Shen Yanran glanced at the closed door and asked with some concern.

"Let your grandfather have some peace and quiet."

"If he really disagrees, then let Momo have an abortion. At most, there's just the risk of her not being able to get pregnant again."

Chen Qingzhu deliberately spoke loudly, while at the same time giving Lin Jiayu, who was studying medicine, a wink.

The latter immediately understood and chimed in, "Mom, I'm a medical student. My second sister is already considered an older mother at this age. If she has to undergo a dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure, it will indeed be very difficult for her to get pregnant again, or it could lead to habitual miscarriages."

At this moment, Shen Yanran also joined the performance: "I've wanted a little brother or sister for a long time. Now that I'm in college, it's just in time. I can even help take care of the child!"

The three of them perfectly exemplify the saying "three women make a drama".

Just as the three were putting on their act, the study door was yanked open, and Lin Moxuan said with a dark face, "Bring Shen Qiushan over."

"I'll go call him!"

Shen Yanran immediately ran back to the restaurant to call her father.

Soon, Shen Qiushan arrived at the study.

The father-in-law and son-in-law sat facing each other.

Shen Qiushan spoke first: "Dad, you can rest assured that Momo is in my care!"

"I promise I will never let the tragedy of the first snowfall happen again!"

What guarantees do you have?

Lin Moxuan snorted coldly.

"I swear on my life."

"If something like this happens again, I won't live anymore. Anyway, Xiaoxiao and Yanran are both grown up and don't need me to worry about them anymore!"

"The money left behind is enough for them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives!"

Shen Qiushan said with a serious expression.

Lin Moxuan remained silent; he could sense that Shen Qiushan's words were quite sincere.

"What guarantees? It's all bullshit!"

Lin Moxuan pursed his lips: "Tell me first, what are your plans for the future?"

"Momo and I have discussed it. If you and Mom don't object, we'll get our marriage certificate first."

"As for whether or not to have a wedding, it's entirely up to Dad."

Why not have a wedding?

"My daughter, Lin Moxuan's daughter, can't just have a child without any consideration!"

At this point, Lin Moxuan glared fiercely at Shen Qiushan.

"Then I'll listen to Dad."

Shen Qiushan quickly nodded: "Actually, I also want to give Momo a grand wedding, after all, it only happens once in a lifetime!"

"No step can be omitted; we must follow the customs of Sanjiang."

Lin Moxuan said with a stern face, "First propose marriage, then get engaged, and then have the wedding!"

"it is good!"

"I'll do whatever Dad says!"

Shen Qiushan readily agreed.

"Since it's done according to custom, then we need to discuss the bride price."

Lin Moxuan spoke again.

"A bride price is a must; it's about respecting customs!"

Shen Qiushan smiled and said, "Dad, then name a number."

"How much dowry you give is up to you."

"Whether it's too much or too little, I don't care!"

At this point, Lin Moxuan changed the subject: "However, the dowry must also include 20 small blue bottles and 20 bottles of that spray!"

"Uh"

Shen Qiushan was speechless. Who gives this as part of their betrothal gifts?

"Are you having trouble?"

Seeing that Shen Qiushan did not express his opinion, Lin Moxuan snorted coldly again.

"We must overcome difficulties!"

"Since it's Dad's request, I will do my best to fulfill it!"

Shen Qiushan immediately stated that he had recently participated in many lotteries and won a bunch of commemorative prizes, so he could provide whatever Lin Moxuan wanted.

However, Shen Qiushan was genuinely surprised, not expecting his father-in-law, Lin Moxuan, to make such a request on such a serious matter as marriage.

As a man with a cheat code, Shen Qiushan naturally couldn't understand the dependency that ordinary people like Lin Moxuan felt after using the "little blue bottle".

To put it another way, this stuff is just as addictive as "white powder"!

It has a fatal attraction, especially for powerful men.

"Alright, you can go back now!" "I don't need to go over the specific procedures for the marriage proposal, do I?"

Seeing that Shen Qiushan had agreed to his core demands, Lin Moxuan immediately ordered him to leave.

"It's according to the customs of Sanjiang!"

"I understand!"

Shen Qiushan nodded, then said, "Dad, I'll go back and get ready. Momo is pregnant, so if you're angry, take it out on me. Don't make things difficult for her!"

"You don't have to say it!"

"Let's go quickly!"

Lin Moxuan waved his hand impatiently.

"Akiyama, how are you?"

Chen Qingzhu and the others were waiting in the living room. When they saw Shen Qiushan come out of the study, they quickly surrounded him.

"I'm going home to propose marriage."

"Dad said we must follow the customs of Sanjiang."

Shen Qiushan smiled and shrugged.

"So, he agrees to your marriage with Momo?"

Chen Qingzhu was overjoyed. Although she thought Lin Moxuan would compromise, she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

The speed at which she weighed the pros and cons exceeded her expectations.

Lin Xiamo, standing to the side, also showed a look of joy. Ever since she got together with Shen Qiushan, she had been too afraid to face her father, Lin Moxuan, for fear that he would talk about her and Shen Qiushan.

And since she is not a liar, she easily exposed the relationship between the two.

Of course, what she feared most was her father Lin Moxuan's strong opposition; who knew how things would end then!
Now that all her worries had vanished, Lin Xiamo was naturally in a great mood.

"Wait for me to come back soon!"

Before leaving, Shen Qiushan smiled at Lin Xiamo.

"it is good!"

Lin Xiamo nodded solemnly.

After leaving the Lin family's house, Shen Qiushan drove directly back to his "old home," the old house where Old Man Shen still lived.

Shen Qiushan tried to persuade his father to move to his mansion several times, but the old man just wouldn't agree. He still felt more comfortable in the old house.

That is, we would go to Shen Qiushan's place during holidays and festivals.

On New Year's Eve, Old Man Shen stayed overnight at Shen Qiushan's mansion, and returned to his old house on New Year's Day.

Fortunately, his younger sister Shen Dehua lived downstairs, so Shen Qiushan wasn't too worried.

When he returned to the old house, no one was home. He then went to his sister's house downstairs, where Old Man Shen was indeed there.

"Brother, you're back!"

"Uncle..."

Shen Dehua and "Little Potato" both looked at Shen Qiushan with surprise and delight.

"Akiyama, you've come back just in time."

"I have something to tell you."

Old Man Shen waved to Shen Qiushan.

"Dad, what's going on?"

Shen Qiushan sat down next to Old Man Shen.

Do you still remember your Aunt Wang?

Old Man Shen asked.

"That Aunt Wang who sells scallion pancakes?"

"Yes, that's her."

"Well, what happened?"

"I'm going to marry her!"

Old Man Shen made a startling statement.

"what?"

"marry??"

Shen Qiushan was shocked; he had never heard his father mention this before.

"What's all the fuss about?"

"Your Aunt Wang and I have been on good terms for a while now!"

“Now that Yanran and Xiaoxiao are grown up, and you are capable of doing things yourself, you don’t need me to support you anymore. But I’m getting older, and I still need someone by my side.”

“Your Aunt Wang is 50 years old this year. She is in good health and can take care of me without any problem. She will most likely pass away after me, so I thought I would get a marriage certificate with her.”

Old Man Shen shared his thoughts.

"Dad, as long as you're happy, you can marry anyone."

"I fully agree!"

Shen Qiushan was quite open-minded; his father was getting old, and having someone by his side was always better than having no one at all.

As for the old house, it's not worth much money. Even if it were given to Aunt Wang after my father passed away, it wouldn't matter much.

After all, they were there for their father during the last part of his life!

Of course, the main reason Shen Qiushan has such an open-minded attitude is because he is not short of money.

If it were the old Shen Qiushan, he would never have agreed. He had finally bought a house, how could he possibly give it to an outsider?

"Akiyama is still the most reasonable one!"

"Dehua, you should study hard with your brother!"

Old Man Shen glared at his daughter, clearly indicating that Shen Dehua did not agree to her father remarrying.

The reason is simple: in Shen Dehua's view, Aunt Wang, who sells hand-pulled pancakes, is after the house.

"Brother, you don't understand that Aunt Wang."

"I think she's only after the house."

Shen Dehua was surprised that Shen Qiushan would agree to his father's remarriage, and immediately frowned and said.

"Dehua, I agree with your point of view."

"However, it's normal for her to have something in mind. After all, our dad is this age. Do you think she's after our dad because he's old, or because he doesn't like to take baths..."

"There's always something in between people; as long as you feel it's worth it, there's nothing wrong with it!"

Since acquiring the cheat, Shen Qiushan's perspective on things has changed.

Ultimately, it's because having money makes one more open-minded about everything.

As some wealthy people often say, anything that can be solved with money isn't a problem.

"Brother, you're really rolling in money now!"

"Fine, I don't care anymore, the house is yours anyway!"

Shen Dehua pursed his lips, deciding not to play the villain anymore.

"Since you all agree, then it's settled!"

Old Man Shen beamed with joy; he truly hadn't expected to experience a second such event in his old age.

"Akiyama, what was it that you said you had something to say?"

Having finished talking about his own affairs, Old Man Shen then turned his concern to his son.

Shen Dehua also looked at his brother with curiosity.

"Dad, I have the same thing to say as you."

"I'm getting married too!"

Shen Qiushan said it bluntly.

"what?"

"Brother, are you getting married?"

"With whom?"

"Also, do Xiaoxiao and Yanran know about this?"

Do they both agree?

"Brother, you're not the same as before. You need to be more careful about things like marriage."

Shen Dehua asked in rapid succession.

"Yes, with whom?"

Old Man Shen also pressed for answers.

"And Momo!"

"That is, Yanran and Xiaoxiao's second aunt!"

Shen Qiushan didn't keep them in suspense and revealed the answer directly.

"This works...?"

Old Man Shen and his daughter Shen Dehua exchanged a glance.

"Akiyama, you're not kidding, are you?!"

"You're going to marry the second son of the Lin family? If Old Man Lin finds out, he'll chop you up!"
