Lin An's calmness was beyond Jiang Qing's expectations.

The woman looked at him blankly. She had just been arguing that she had the right to pursue happiness, but after being rebuked by Lin An, she felt empty inside again.

Suddenly, I had a fear that I would lose these three children if I moved out of this home.

Jiang Qing looked at Qin Jiaojiao. Qin Jiaojiao was crying while applying eggs to her eyes. Her expression was very indifferent and she looked at her with cold eyes, as if she had transformed from an innocent girl into a calm woman in an instant.

Jiang Qing was very uneasy about Qin Jiaojiao like this. She bit her lip and said, "Anzi, I can't bear to leave you. Otherwise..."

"Mom." Lin An interrupted her, "We have grown up. When I have time, I will bring Jiaojiao to see you. You and Uncle Yang have your own life to live. Besides, my sister is still unmarried, so Uncle Yang is not suitable to live at home."

Jiang Qing stopped talking. Her thoughts were completely exposed by Lin An. She suddenly wondered how could she, as a mother, not understand such a simple truth as the physical contact between men and women.

Qin Tinghan is not married yet, and Qin Jiaojiao is not yet an adult. If Brother Yang moves in, it will be very inconvenient.

"Anzi, I know. I was selfish. I'm sorry for you." Jiang Qing was not a selfish woman. She just had been working too long and longed for freedom and relaxation.

"Do we need to hold a wedding?" Lin An didn't respond to her and asked again.

Jiang Qing pursed her lips, her face slightly reddened. "He said he wanted to do it. Only after the wedding ceremony is held and all the relatives and friends are notified, the marriage can be considered valid. He can't let me just follow him without knowing the reason. Let's just hold a small wedding, and have a meal together as a family. No gifts will be accepted."

Lin An nodded: "Has the date been set?" He didn't intend to interfere, but still asked appropriately.

"Half a month later, when the students are on vacation, your uncle Yang's children will be able to come back."

"Well, do you have enough money?" Lin An had no experience on how much stuff was needed for a wedding, but it must be a considerable amount. The dowry applied to all newly married girls.

Jiang Qing nodded quickly: "I have money, enough money." Lin An never asked her for the profits from the delicatessen. All the expenses of the family were paid by Lin An. The money she could save had already reached six figures.

However, she didn't plan to take all the money away.

"Well, tomorrow I will send Jiaojiao to school first, and then go directly to the airport. I will be on a business trip for a while, and will not be back in the short term. Please inform me in advance when you set the date for your wedding." Since Lin An sent his blessing, it means it is a real blessing. He will not make excuses to avoid anything. He also regards himself as the center of this family, so that his mother can feel at ease.

Jiang Qing opened her mouth, but swallowed the words that came to her lips: "Okay, you have to take care of yourself outside. Mom can't help you with anything. I just hope I won't cause you any trouble."

Lin An nodded, not paying attention to Jiang Qing's hesitation to speak.

As for the women in the family, any one he married was a good one. Lin An felt inexplicably at ease and slept well all night.

After a night, Qin Jiaojiao was still in a bad mood, so Lin An took her to eat her favorite soup dumplings again.

Qin Jiaojiao was in a bad mood, which directly affected her appetite. She only ate one and stopped.

Lin An put another one in her bowl, staring at Qin Jiaojiao's eyes for help: "Don't think too much, your goal now is to study hard. Remember, knowledge changes destiny. Only when you reach a certain level can you change all the current situations you want to change."

He touched Qin Jiaojiao's head. Qin Jiaojiao looked at him and nodded heavily: "Brother, I won't let you down."

"The first step to avoid disappointment is to eat well and study hard. Only with a strong body can you achieve excellent academic results."

"I'll eat. I'll eat." Qin Jiaojiao ate two baskets of soup dumplings, one at a time, and drank two large bowls of bone soup.

After sending Qin Jiaojiao back, Lin An changed into a suit and took a taxi to his destination, a restaurant that was not decorated much and was very quaint and elegant. Various photos of cities and people were posted on the walls.

This is a relatively low-key place in the city recommended to him by Huang Zhicheng. Lin An has never been here. As soon as he entered the restaurant, he felt a strong retro atmosphere.

When he just came in, he noticed that this place was close to a barren mountain, sparsely populated and remote, but that did not affect the good business here. The secret to good business has never been about hardware, but about cooking skills.

"Welcome, what would you like to eat sir?"

The boss who came out to greet him was very talkative. Lin An ordered a few signature dishes. Before the other party's representative arrived, he intentionally exchanged a few words with the boss. It turned out that he was a retired veteran. No wonder the atmosphere in the store was full of masculinity.

After retiring from the army, he was unhappy working in the place where he was demobilized, so he resolutely resigned and returned home to open a farm restaurant.

Not to mention, because of his good cooking skills and his love of making friends, customers who come to him never mind the long distance or remote location.

Another advantage is that there is direct access to the highway, so there is no need to go into the city.

"Your name is Lin An, so I'll be nice and call you Xiao Lin?"

"Boss Chen." Lin An returned the greeting.

They had clearly just met, but it was like meeting an old friend. When Boss Chen saw him, he kept shouting that he was in for a treat as seafood had just arrived in the store.

Boss Chen is very good at cooking seafood. Just after Lin An placed the order, he saw two men and women standing at the door who looked out of place in the restaurant.

Both of them were wearing suits and looked like elite white-collar workers.

Lin An immediately noticed something.

One of them looked up: "Lin?" The man spoke with a tone of certain doubt.

Lin An smiled and nodded, then turned to look at the boss: "Boss Chen, please serve the food quickly. My two friends are new to Chu City, and what they need most is a taste of authentic Chu City flavor."

"Okay!" Boss Chen looked at the two of them in surprise and didn't say anything else.

The man took the lead and walked over with the woman, introducing them: "Lin An? Hello, I'm Du Chen, and this is my sister, Du Miao."

"Hello." Lin An stood up and shook hands with the two of them.

For each other who were meeting for the first time and who were also adults and people in the same circle, there was no sense of strangeness and they all chatted in a familiar manner, from "I've heard of your name for a long time" to "the purpose of this trip."

The Du brothers and sisters are not researchers in the laboratory, but personnel sent by the higher-ups to protect the laboratory. They came here to protect Lin An so that he can arrive at the laboratory safely.

Du Miao had heard of Lin An's name, who was a core member of the research laboratory they were protecting, but what surprised her was that Lin An was so young. Her eyes moved between her brother and Lin An's face. He really looked younger than her brother.

Du Chen looked around and said, "Mr. Lin, I didn't expect you to meet here."

In order to conceal their identities, the two men wore suits and disguised themselves as businessmen to meet each other, which really seemed like the meeting of underground personnel in a spy drama.

I should have dressed more simply.

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce this place to you. It's in a remote location, but it's directly connected to the highway. I chose this place because I think it's very convenient."

"It's okay, we can adapt to any place." Du Chen waved his hand and explained.

Du Miao is not a talkative person, but her eyes are like sharp blades, staring at Lin An.

"Ms. Du?" Lin An looked at her. "Is there something wrong with you looking at me like that?"

Du Miao's inquiring eyes were not concealed, which made Lin An feel uncomfortable.

Du Miao smiled and said, "I'm just curious, are those research results really from you?"

Du Chen sighed, and under the table where Lin An couldn't see, he tugged hard at the corner of Du Miao's clothes, and then signaled with his eyes that if she didn't know how to talk, then don't say it.

You know, geniuses like Lin An have a sense of pride that is different from ordinary people. How can he accept other people's doubts? I wonder if my sister knows what to say in what occasion.
