Why didn't you tell me earlier that my little sister is still waiting for me?

When Lin Bufan and Andy arrived at the hotel, Lin's father and mother had just arrived, and the four of them met at the hotel entrance.

"Dad, Mom!" Lin Bufan stepped forward quickly and put his arm around his mother's shoulders. "This is the Andy I always mentioned to you."

Andy bowed slightly and extended his hand politely: "Hello, uncle and auntie, I'm Andy."

Mother Lin looked at the girl with outstanding temperament in front of her, her eyes lit up: "Oh, this girl is so beautiful!" Mother Lin warmly shook Andy's hand: "Thanks to you for taking care of Bufan when he was a child in the orphanage."

Andy glanced at Lin Bufan awkwardly: "Auntie, you misunderstood. In fact, it was Bufan who took care of me more..."

"This child is so modest!" Mother Lin patted the back of Andy's hand with a smile: "Come on, let's eat and talk!"

Andy handed over the gift bag in his hand: "It's our first meeting, a little gift from you."

"Oh, just come, why bring any gifts?" Mother Lin said this, but she took the gift bag honestly.

At the dinner table, Lin's mother asked Andy about his well-being: "Andy, I heard that you and Xiaofan have opened a company together. It must be very hard work, right?"

"It's okay. I'm used to it." Andy cut the steak gracefully. "How are uncle and auntie doing?"

"We're fine!" Mother Lin smiled widely, "It's just that Xiaofan is always making us worry..."

Seeing that his mother was about to start scolding him, Lin Bufan quickly interrupted: "Mom, try this lobster, it's very fresh!"

When it was time to say goodbye after dinner, Lin's mother took out a small box from her bag and handed it to Andy: "Auntie doesn't have anything good, so you keep this."

When Andy opened it, he saw a jade hairpin with exquisite workmanship, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Unlike Qin Yumo who tried to refuse, Andy accepted it directly: "Thank you, Auntie, I like it very much."

Seeing this, Lin's mother couldn't help but smile sincerely: "As long as you like it, if Bufan dares to bully you in the future, tell your aunt, and I will break his legs!"

Andy looked at Lin's mother's serious expression and couldn't help but glance at Lin Bufan mischievously: "Thank you, Auntie."

On the way back, Lin Bufan drove while stealing glances at Andy in the passenger seat.

Andy was playing with the jade hairpin with a faint smile on his lips.

"How was it?" Lin Bufan finally couldn't help but ask, "How did it feel to meet my mother-in-law?"

Andy raised his head, his eyes clear and deep: "I finally understand why you chose them."

"Oh?" Lin Bufan raised his eyebrows: "Tell me about it?"

Andy carefully placed the lily-of-the-valley hairpin back into the box before finally speaking: "Through my recollection, I've discovered that you were very different from the other children in the orphanage. You could always see through the adults' minds, knew how to please the aunts, and even predicted which adoptive families were unreliable..."

Lin Bufan couldn't help but tighten his grip on the steering wheel, but a cynical smile remained on his face: "That's because I'm smart!"

"No, it's not just smart." Andy turned his head and looked directly at Lin Bufan's profile: "Your way of thinking at that time was completely unlike that of a child. Now I finally understand--"

Andy paused, his eyes becoming more serious. "You're choosing your parents as an adult. Although your uncle and aunt aren't well off, they're kind and open-minded. Most importantly... they give you enough freedom and respect."

Lin Bufan sighed helplessly, just like the last time he went to Daishan: "Kids with good memories are so annoying."

Andy was amused by Lin Bufan's appearance, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "Don't worry, I will help you keep the secret."

After sending Andy back to the company, Lin Bufan immediately contacted Guan Juer. Soon, Guan Juer's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone: "Brother Bufan?"

"Guan Guan, are you free today? I want to take you to meet my parents." Lin Bufan said straight to the point.

There was a sudden "click" sound from the other end of the line, like the sound of a phone falling to the ground. After a few seconds, Guan Juer's panicked voice came again: "Ah? Today? But...but..."

Lin Bufan could imagine Guan Juer's bewildered look at the moment, and couldn't help but soften his voice: "What's wrong? Is it inconvenient?"

"It's not that it's inconvenient..." Guan Juer's voice became increasingly quiet: "It's just... it's just that the company has an important project today, and I really can't ask for leave..."

Although Guan Juer had greeted Lin's father and mother at the bar that day, she was still so nervous when she heard that they were going to meet formally that her voice trembled: "And... and I'm not ready yet..."

Lin Bufan chuckled: "Silly girl, what's there to prepare for? It's just a meal."

"But...but..." Guan Juer was so anxious that she almost cried: "This is my first time meeting my uncle and aunt, I can't go empty-handed, right? I don't even have a gift prepared..."

"How about this," Lin Bufan thought for a moment and said, "Just focus on your work first, and I'll pick you up after get off work. Leave the gifts to me, and I guarantee you'll be honored in front of your parents-in-law!"

"Is it really possible?" Guan Juer's voice was full of gratitude: "Then... then I'll trouble Brother Bufan..."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Bufan drove directly to the mall. In order to prevent the same situation from happening in future meetings, he decided to buy more gifts at one time.

In the mall, Lin Bufan pushed a shopping cart and shuttled between the counters like a professional buyer.

"This belt is great, perfect for Dad... Mom will definitely like this massager... Hmm, this game console is okay, perfect for Dad to pass the time... These headphones are great, they'll be super cool when running... This camera, this fishing rod, and this helmet are all great... I'm sure Dad will like them!"

The shopping cart was soon filled with various gifts, ranging from high-end clothes to brand-name bags, from food, drink and entertainment to spiritual food.

Seeing Lin Bufan's attitude, the salesgirl couldn't help but ask, "Sir, are you giving me a gift? Do you need me to pack it?"

"No, no!" Lin Bufan pointed at a few of the items and said, "Just pack these up, you don't need the others!"

After buying the gifts, Lin Bufan put the ones for Lin's father and mother in the trunk of the car, and the ones he bought for himself, which should be those that Lin's father and mother could not use for the time being, were directly received into the system space!

When Lin Bufan arrived at Guan Juer's company, Guan Juer was already waiting at the company door!

On the way, Guan Juer kept adjusting her hair and skirt: "Will uncles and aunts think I'm too childish?"

"Don't worry, they like you just like this."

Arriving at the restaurant, Lin's father and mother were already waiting. Lin's mother enthusiastically took Guan Juer's hand and said, "Oh, Xiao Guan is even more beautiful than when she was in the bar!"

Guan Juer shyly handed over the gift: "Hello, uncle and aunt, this is a little gift..."

During the meal, Lin's mother kept picking up food for Guan Juer and asking her questions. Although Guan Juer was nervous, she answered appropriately.

Before leaving, Lin's mother took out a jade bracelet from her bag: "Keep this."

"It's too expensive..." Guan Juer quickly declined.

"Take it!" Lin's mother put it on Guan Juer directly: "If Xiaofan bullies you in the future, tell me and I will take care of him for you!"

On the way back, Guan Juer was very careful to protect the bracelet, and she treated it like a treasure. Seeing this, Lin Bufan couldn't help but smile and said, "Guan Guan, do you want to go to the hotel tonight? I have a treasure for you too."

Guan Juer's face flushed instantly, her fingers tightly gripping the bag strap, she lowered her head and whispered, "No, no... I still have work to do tonight, I have to go back and work overtime..."

Lin Bufan said with some dissatisfaction: "Is your boss Zhou Baopi? He exploits you every day?"

Guan Juer quickly shook her head: "No! I just want to complete the project..."

"Tsk, why are you working so hard?" Lin Bufan reached out and rubbed Guan Juer's head: "Why don't you change to an easier job?"

"No!" Guan Juer said firmly, "I really like my current job, and I don't want to disappoint my parents. And most importantly... I don't want people to think I'm useless."

Looking into Guan Juer's eyes, Lin Bufan probably understood that this "others" should refer to Andy, Qu Xiaoxiao, Zhu Suosuo and others!

Since Guan Juer was so determined, Lin Bufan naturally wanted to help her: "Okay, how about this - I'll pay, you'll do the work, and we'll start a company together? You can do whatever you want, and I'll cover it for you."

Guan Juer was stunned, her eyes widening slightly: "Start a company?!"

"Yeah, we have money anyway. Instead of letting you suffer under someone else's control, it's better to be your own boss and do whatever you want."

Guan Juer bit her lip, a little hesitant: "But... I don't have much experience, what if I mess up..."

"What are you afraid of?" Lin Bufan waved his hand nonchalantly. "Experience is accumulated slowly. Who knows how to start a company right after birth? As for losing money, that's even less of a concern. Your brother Bufan is so poor now that all he has left is money. And I believe that with your ability and dedication, even if you lose money at the beginning, you will make it back double sooner or later."

Looking at Lin Bufan's firm yet gentle eyes, Guan Juer's eyes lit up instantly, like little stars being ignited: "Brother Bufan, do you really trust me so much?"

"Of course!"

After receiving Lin Bufan's affirmative answer, Guan Juer couldn't help but fall into deep thought!

To be honest, Guan Juer actually had no resistance to Lin Bufan's proposal. After all, everyone was the same, and the eldest brother would not laugh at the second brother!

After thinking for a long time, Guan Juer lowered her head and said softly, "Brother Bufan, thank you for your kindness. But... I feel that my ability is not enough now. I haven't even passed the probation period..."

After a pause, Guan Juer raised her head, her eyes gleaming with determination: "I want to work hard at Huaxin Securities first, and then consider starting a business after I have accumulated enough experience and abilities.

By then...if...if you are still willing to invest in me..."

Lin Bufan looked at Guan Juer's serious expression, and ruffled her hair with his hands: "Silly girl, of course I am willing."

Since Guan Juer wants to work hard for her dream, Lin Bufan can only send her back to Ode to Joy!

After bidding farewell to Guan Juer, Lin Bufan originally wanted to talk to Andy about life, but found that Andy had not returned yet, so Lin Bufan had no choice but to return to his nest!

Seeing Lin Bufan opening the door and coming in, the two girls who were watching TV and eating crayfish were stunned for a moment, but after they came to their senses, the expressions on their faces were different!

Zhu Suosuo's face was full of bitterness. Although she agreed to help Jiang Nansun deal with Lin Bufan, it was a choice she had no choice. In fact, she was still unwilling to do so in her heart. Zhu Suosuo thought that it would be better for Lin Bufan not to come back recently, and wait until Jiang Nansun calmed down before coming back. For this reason, Zhu Suosuo secretly sent several text messages to Lin Bufan!

Jiang Nansun's reaction was completely different from Zhu Suosuo's. Her eyes lit up instantly and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Lin Bufan naturally saw Zhu Suosuo's text message, but he didn't care too much about it, because some things have to be faced, and avoiding them will not solve the problem!

Ignoring the weird atmosphere in the room, Lin Bufan leisurely sat down next to Zhu Suosuo.

Seeing a pair of disposable gloves next to him, Lin Bufan put them on consciously. However, he didn't wear gloves to peel crayfish. After all, how could peeling it yourself be as enjoyable as eating crayfish fed by others?

Lin Bufan opened his mouth and nodded towards Zhu Suosuo: "Ah——"

Zhu Suosuo hesitated for a moment, but still obediently peeled a crayfish and fed it to Lin Bufan.

Lin Bufan chewed the fruit with satisfaction, and didn't forget to wink at Zhu Suosuo: "The fruit peeled by Suosuo is so delicious!"

As he spoke, Lin Bufan picked up another crayfish and stuffed it into Zhu Suosuo's hand. Zhu Suosuo gave Jiang Nansun a helpless smile, as if she was also helpless.

Jiang Nansun naturally scoffed at this, threw the crayfish in her hand onto the plate, stood up and walked towards the bedroom: "You are such a grown man, but you still need to be fed. If someone doesn't know you, they would think your limbs have degenerated!"

When the door was about to close, Jiang Nansun suddenly turned around and said to Zhu Suosuo meaningfully: "Suosuo, don't forget what you promised me!"

With a bang, the bedroom door closed.

Lin Bufan approached Zhu Suosuo curiously: "Suosuo, what did you promise Nansun?"

Zhu Suosuo's eyes wandered, and she lowered her head to continue peeling crayfish: "Nothing... nothing..."

"Really?" Lin Bufan grabbed Zhu Suosuo's wrist and said, "Look into my eyes."

Zhu Suosuo's cheeks burned from Lin Bufan's burning gaze, and she stammered, "I... I promised Nansun not to tell..."

Lin Bufan immediately covered his chest with his hands, pretending to be heartbroken. "Suosuo, are you hiding something from me? Is the relationship between us so fragile?"

Zhu Suosuo rolled her eyes: "Stop it! You're not pretending at all!"

"How could I be pretending?" Lin Bufan continued to cover his chest, his brows furrowed. "My heart really hurts!"

“Come on!” Zhu Suosuo pushed away Lin Bufan’s approaching face: “Your mouth is almost grinning from ear to ear!”

Lin Bufan was not embarrassed after being exposed. Instead, he smiled and put his arm around Zhu Suosuo's waist: "Then tell me the truth, what did Nansun ask you to do?"

Zhu Suosuo felt weak from being hugged by Lin Bufan, but she still said stubbornly: "I won't tell you even if you kill me!"

"Oh?" Lin Bufan raised his eyebrows and gently drew circles on Zhu Suosuo's waist with his fingers: "Really not going to tell me?"

Zhu Suosuo giggled as she was tickled, twisting her body and begging for mercy: "Stop... stop it... Hahaha... I surrender, stop it, I'm telling you..."

After listening to Zhu Suosuo's report, Lin Bufan couldn't help but reveal a playful smile on his face!
