On the day of the blind date, the heir of a wealthy family pulled me to get the certificate.

"I hope so. I hope we can live to see your children grow up. I also want to see my grandson get married."

"Who is your rival in love?"

"Father Lin asked."

"More outstanding than you?"

In Lin's father's eyes, his son was the most outstanding.

In the past, people in the village said that they had devoted all their resources to supporting A-Jian's education, and if A-Jian did not achieve anything after his studies, then all their efforts would have been in vain.

Now everyone in the village says they are capable and lucky to have supported A-Jian to adulthood. A-Jian is also capable; he paid off all his debts and built a new house for his family through his own efforts.

The Lin family's living conditions improved more and more. A-Jian bought a house and a car in Dongguan City and also had savings. Whenever relatives or friends in the family were unwell, A-Jian was always able to provide assistance.

Relatives and friends now praise the couple, saying that A-Jian is capable, conscientious, and grateful. His siblings' lives have improved because of his generosity.

Who wouldn't praise Ah Jian for being excellent?

"How can I compare to them, Dad? Do you know who the richest person in Dongguan is?"

Lin's father said, "How would I know who the richest person in Dongguan is? I don't even know who the richest person in our brigade is. Truly wealthy people are very low-key and won't tell others that their family is rich, for fear that others will come to their door to borrow money."

“They say you shouldn’t flaunt your wealth. Now that our family’s living conditions have improved, people are coming to borrow money, but your mother refuses. She says we only look good, and it’s only slightly better than before. She also says that life in the city isn’t easy for you.”

“If it were easy, you would have been married long ago. Why would you still be a bachelor? Those people who wanted to borrow money left reluctantly.”

“Ah Jian, when you go back to your hometown in the future, be more low-key. Don’t talk about how much money you made in the city. People may praise you, but they might be jealous of you inside.”

"People nowadays aren't as pure as they used to be; they all despise you for being poor and hate you for being rich."

Lin's father easily went astray.

Dr. Lin said, "Dad, why are you bringing this up? I know. When we go back to the village, I'll keep a low profile and say that the current economic climate is bad, everyone has medical insurance, and when they get sick they go to the hospital. It's not easy for our clinic to do business either."

When he first started out, he liked to show off when he returned to his hometown. He boasted that his clinic was making a lot of money and that he had bought a house and a car in the city.

In the past two years, he has become more mature and stable. In addition, his fellow villagers would come to him when they felt unwell, but they wouldn't give him money. He couldn't ask them for money back, so he suffered a lot of losses, but he couldn't say anything about it.

He realized a truth, just as his father had said: one should not flaunt one's wealth.

It's better to keep a low profile.

"The richest man in Dongguan is surnamed Zhan. He is a billionaire with assets exceeding 100 billion yuan. There are very few billionaire families in the whole country."

Mr. Lin said, “Dongguan is such a big city, there are plenty of rich people. It’s not surprising that the richest man in the town is a billionaire. Everyone says that the richest man in our town has a lot of wealth. He has changed wives countless times and buys luxury cars one after another.”

"It's perfectly normal for the richest family in Dongguan to be a multi-billionaire. What does that have to do with your love rival?"

Mr. Lin finally realized: "Could it be that your rival in love is the young master of the richest family?"

"Yes, I only found out by having someone inquire. Zhan Yue is actually the young master of the richest family, the Zhan family. There are nine young masters in this generation of the Zhan family, and he is the eighth, known as the Eighth Young Master."

"The young masters of the Zhan family are all outstanding. Any one of them could easily outshine us ordinary people. Knowing that my rival in love is a young master of the Zhan family was a huge blow to me, and I couldn't sleep."

Mr. Lin's eyes widened. Even the young masters of billionaire families like Dr. Zeng.

"Is Dr. Zeng really that good? Even the young master of a billionaire family likes her."

"Ah Jian, then try harder. If you can marry Dr. Zeng, we'll all be proud. You can even beat the young master of a billionaire family, how amazing is that?"

Dr. Lin looked at his father speechlessly.

Lin's father chuckled awkwardly, "That's just what I was saying. I'll say it again: no matter who your rival is or how outstanding they are, it mainly depends on Dr. Zeng's attitude."

"Don't worry about your rival. See if Dr. Zeng likes you or your rival. If she chooses your rival, then give up. Luckily, you still have Yuehua."

"Yuehua is a girl who knows how to manage a household. It's just that her family of origin isn't very good. As long as she's strong enough and can live her own life well without being controlled by her family, she'll be fine."

"My parents have observed and tested her for so long, and they've finally found out. She's a girl with her own mind, and she won't be controlled by her family after marriage."

"Why don't you just settle down with Yuehua and stop thinking about that Dr. Zeng?"

Dr. Lin remained silent.

Lin's father knew that his son was unwilling to accept that the girl he had secretly loved for several years was about to be taken away by someone else.

But what can be done?

The son has been explicitly rejected by Dr. Zeng several times.

"Don't think too much about it, just let nature take its course. Come on, let's go back and rest. It's so late, and we have to go back to the city early tomorrow morning to accompany your mother to the hospital for a check-up."

Knowing that his son had booked an appointment with Dr. Zeng, Mr. Lin said, "Try to have a good talk with Dr. Zeng tomorrow. Your parents will also help you see her attitude towards you. If there's absolutely no chance, then you should give up and not waste another six months."

Dr. Lin remained silent for a long time before nodding and humming in agreement.

The father and son returned to the hotel.

Perhaps after confiding his frustrations to his father, Dr. Lin finally surrendered to sleep and drifted off to rest back at the hotel.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Haitong got up quietly.

Zhan Yin had gotten up long ago, and he was no longer in his room; he was probably running in the yard.

Hai Tong checked the time; it was still early. She changed into her workout clothes and went downstairs to run with her husband.

Sometimes, the couple would even spar a bit in the yard.

Her martial arts skills were not as good as Zhan Yin's, and they had both become a bit rusty after not fighting for a long time. However, she was more than capable of dealing with ordinary thugs.

Nowadays, she is protected by bodyguards whenever she goes out, and she rarely needs to take action in case of danger.

Beibei doesn't wake up that quickly; the little girl usually doesn't get up until after eight o'clock.

Bao Bao and Su Meng have to go to school. There's an alarm clock in their room. When the time comes, the alarm clock will ring and wake the two little brothers up.

They are all first-grade students now, and they have the ability to take care of themselves.

They get up on their own, change their clothes, wash up, put on their backpacks and go downstairs, where the housekeeper will prepare breakfast for them.

After they finished breakfast, the butler and bodyguards would take the two boys back to school, so Hai Tong and his wife didn't have to worry about them much.

Of course, when the couple's love for their son overflows, they will also personally take him to school.

Sometimes Haitong would go for a morning run in the yard, and when she returned home, her son had already gone to school.

She felt that her in-laws did a good job educating their child, cultivating self-reliance from a young age. Once the child developed self-reliance, the mother's life became much easier.
