Chapter 92 Doubts
"Zhixi, don't talk nonsense."
After Lin Zhixi uttered the words, "Such a petty double non-resident, how laughable!", Lin's mother quickly tried to stop her, but...
"Oh, Mom, it's okay. We were just joking around. We didn't take it seriously." Lin Zhixi quickly stepped forward and walked to her mother's side, saying casually, "I wasn't angry when he called me a bookworm."
After exchanging a few casual words, the three of them headed towards the front yard... Lin Zhixi and her daughter walked in front, while Chen Yan followed behind.
As Lin Zhixi walked out of the kitchen and through the living room, she suddenly felt as if she had vaguely forgotten something, but she couldn't remember it for a moment. Just as she was continuing to walk forward, Chen Yan's voice suddenly rang out behind her.
"Lin Zhixi".
"It's quite cold in the front yard. Why don't you put on your down jacket first, so you don't catch a cold?" Chen Yan said, pointing to the white down jacket hanging on the clothes rack.
Lin Zhixi then remembered what she had forgotten... Earlier, when she was warming herself by the fire, she took off her down jacket because it was too hot, and since it was inconvenient to carry it around, she casually hung it on the coat rack in the living room.
Chen Yan's hometown is in the mountains, so the temperature is quite high. If you go out without a down jacket, you'll feel cold in less than three minutes.
"Mom, you go first, I'll go get the clothes." Lin Zhixi patted her mother's back and turned to walk towards the clothes rack.
As she walked over, she clearly saw Chen Yan's mouth opening and closing. Although he didn't make a sound, she could tell what he was saying just by looking at his lip movements.
"Good sister, you're welcome."
Lin Zhixi didn't say anything, but just winked at Chen Yan, put on her clothes, and hurriedly walked outside.
Lin's mother, who had been waiting in the same spot, once again confirmed her suspicions.
Although she didn't see Chen Yan's lip movements, she knew her daughter well—when Lin Zhixi was with strangers, although she had a strong sense of distance, she never neglected politeness.
When she arrived, she didn't say a word to Chen Yan. There are only two possibilities: either their relationship is so bad that they don't want to talk, or their relationship is so close that they don't need to exchange pleasantries.
Judging from the way the two looked when they were warming themselves by the fire, the first guess is obviously unlikely.
Thinking of this, Lin's mother turned her head and glanced at Chen Yan again.
With his handsome face, straight nose, and beautiful almond-shaped eyes, he exudes a gentle and affectionate charm. Combined with his tall stature, his appearance alone is enough to make many girls fall in love at first sight.
However, Lin's mother knew that her daughter did not value appearance highly, and this factor was definitely not the reason why the two could be so close.
But if it's not appearance, then what could it be...? You can't possibly understand someone's personality and inner qualities in just twenty minutes, can you?
"Wait a minute." A possibility suddenly occurred to Lin's mother: perhaps the two of them knew each other before, which is why they were so close.
Once the general direction is confirmed, many clues can be found by following the trail... Lin's mother quickly realized that Chen Sen had once mentioned that the two of them were from universities located very close to each other. If they had any contact during this period, it would not be hard to imagine.
Lin's mother felt that she had roughly figured out what was going on, but it was not convenient for her to ask Lin Zhixi right now, so she suppressed her worries and prepared to ask her more carefully when she got home that night.
……
The atmosphere of the meal was quite good. After the meal, they chatted for a while, and then Chen Sen's family left first at eight o'clock, while Chen Yan stayed until eight-thirty before driving away.
Since it was in the mountains, driving too late was not very safe if he didn't plan to stay overnight, so Chen Yan left when it was almost time.
Back home, after tidying up a bit and taking a shower, Chen Yan hadn't even gotten into bed when he heard a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Chen Yan called out first, then peeked through the peephole. There he saw his mother.
"Mom, what brings you here?" Chen Yan asked casually as he opened the door.
In his opinion, his mother might be busy until tomorrow morning, and then he would go to his grandmother's house for dinner together.
"I came back as soon as I finished my work." Deng Qian walked into the house, put the snacks she bought on the coffee table, and then leaned back on the sofa. "I encountered a difficult client who kept asking for changes to the plan. It went through seven versions. In the end, I just sent the first version over, and they approved it."
"There's nothing we can do, there are just too many idiots in the world." Chen Yan picked out a bag of potato chips, tore open the packaging, and sat down on the sofa to chat with Deng Qian.
Deng Qian complained about some stupid customers, and Chen Yan also mentioned his two former roommates. Although there were only two people in the house, the atmosphere was quite nice.
As the conversation drew to a close, Deng Qian suddenly asked:
"When I got back, there was a Panamera in the parking space at home. Did you buy it?"
What's meant to happen will happen. In fact, when he came back, Chen Sen had asked Chen Yan this question on his phone, and asked him to come up with all the reasons.
In fact, he had already started preparing an excuse back in school. Although he couldn't think of one right away, he believed that there was strength in numbers, so he posted this question on an online forum a few days ago.
Brothers, I have a friend who can travel back to early 17. How can he become incredibly rich?
“Yes, I bought it.” Chen Yan nodded.
"Your royalties shouldn't be this much, right?" Although she didn't know how much money Chen Yan had earned from writing books, Deng Qian still had a general idea of his income.
In her opinion, Chen Yan's manuscript fee was probably around 500,000 yuan, which was definitely not enough to buy Pamei with just the manuscript fee... But if it came to buying a car on loan, Deng Qian was certain that her son was not that kind of person.
"At the beginning of the year, I bought some Bitcoin, and later I bought more as the market trended, and I made a lot of money."
With the enthusiastic participation of forum users, Chen Yan successfully obtained many excuses, one of which was Bitcoin.
At the beginning of the year, the price of Bitcoin was less than $1,000, but by December of last year, the price of Bitcoin had reached nearly $20,000.
"How much did you buy?" Deng Qian asked again.
"I bought a little over 200,000 yuan worth of things here and there. The timing of my entry was almost perfect, and I made about 3 million yuan." Chen Yan stretched and said casually, "I was so stunned by the subsequent price increase that I cleared out my positions and bought a Panamera. I saved the rest of the money."
As he spoke, Chen Yan showed Deng Qian the bank account balance, though it only had a little over a million yuan.
Deng Qian felt much relieved to learn that her son had earned the money through Bitcoin, but she still made a deal with him.
No loans are allowed for cryptocurrency trading, and no leverage is permitted.
After clarifying the issue, the conversation came to a complete end. Deng Qian planned to take a shower and go to bed early, while Chen Yan planned to play some games with his friends later.
"By the way, don't drive there tomorrow, I'll drive myself," Deng Qian suddenly said before entering the bathroom.
"Huh?" Chen Yan didn't think his mother would feel sorry for him driving so hard, and looked at her with some doubt.
"Think about your uncle's mindset. If you drive that car there, he'll be so upset he'll want to hang himself." Deng Qian's tone was slightly sarcastic. "Besides, there are no surveillance cameras in the countryside. If you drive that car there, there will definitely be a few more scratches on your car when you come back."
