Xia Lin didn't know either.

"I'll call An An and ask. She doesn't dare to call us. She definitely doesn't want us to worry." Xia Lin said worriedly.

Zhong Yanyan glanced at the time and said, "Call me later. An An is taking a nap."

"If you have anything to say, let's wait until An An wakes up." Zhong Yanyan took the phone.

"Call Lin Cai and ask him. He should know. I'll tell him why he called me and asked me what kind of partner An An wanted. Feelings are waiting here so that I can excuse An An."

"Did Lin Cai ask you?"

"Well, he just called me. I thought he wanted to introduce someone to An An because of her breakup." Zhong Yanyan nodded.

"It's probably a betrayal." Xia Lin chuckled after hearing this.

Zhong Yanyan's mouth twitched. "My daughter is pregnant now, has a child, and has obtained a marriage certificate. Can we still ask her to divorce? Let's see what kind of person our son-in-law is first."

"If he has good character and a good family background, and we and our sons are watching over him, we will never let him bully An An." Zhong Yanyan persuaded.

"You've seen the person before. He's a friend that Lin Cai brought back before. You praised him, Leng Zexi." Xia Lin looked at his wife and was speechless.

When Zhong Yanyan heard it was Leng Zexi, she didn't know what to say for a moment, "That kid is not bad."

"You are going to rebel too." Xia Lin walked out and sat in the yard and sighed.

"You are angry." Zhong Yanyan followed out.

Xia Lin turned his back and said, "Shouldn't I be angry? The daughter I raised with so much hardship has become someone else's."

"It's not a matter of time. We have to face it eventually." Zhong Yanyan hoped that he could be more open-minded. "We have also met Zexi. He is a really good person. If you marry him, I will still feel at ease."

"Being able to raise such an outstanding son shows that their family is not unreasonable. He is definitely better than Zhou Mufan. When we went to meet Zhou Mufan, he didn't even want to see us."

"But Zexi, the kid, just came back with Lin Cai as a guest, and he brought lots of gifts. You guys can rest and play, but he's the only one who knows to help out in the kitchen."

"For this reason alone, I am very satisfied with this son-in-law."

Xia Lin looked up at her with an unconvinced expression, "Do we not want to go in? Look at the sign hanging on your kitchen door. Whoever doesn't let us in, I will go in twice more. You even added a sign in front of it saying that the dog and I are not allowed to enter the kitchen."

"How dare you say that? You went into the kitchen to help? You were just causing trouble. You almost blew up the kitchen three times. One time, you even brought An An into the kitchen with you. Did you know that I heard you and An An in the kitchen making food for her? I didn't even pay and ran away wearing clothes from someone else's store."

"The shop owner chased me home. Everyone thought I was trying to run away with the bill. I was so embarrassed." Zhong Yanyan feels embarrassed when she thinks about it now.

Xia Lin felt a little embarrassed after hearing this. It was indeed his fault.

"Really, our kitchen can't stand your tinkering. It was originally connected to the house, but now we have to build a separate kitchen in the yard. I'm worried that there won't even be a place to live in the back." Zhong Yanyan said helplessly.

"Okay, is it okay if I don't go into the kitchen?" Xia Lin was scared when he thought about what she said.

He didn't know what was going on. Whenever he went into the kitchen, he would either destroy it or the food he cooked would be problematic. He had been to the hospital several times after eating. It was probably because the four boys in the family had a hard life before, so for them, a few days of hanging medicine would be enough to make them better. Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to bother.

"Really? If everyone didn't know what kind of person you are, you would have been jailed four times. No, five times. That time you saw my parents cooking, and that time when my four sons came back to claim you."

"It's all food poisoning. If I didn't know you really didn't mean to, I would really charge you with murder. Others cook to fill their stomachs, but you just sent them straight to the hospital."

Zhong Yanyan also didn't expect that it would be so difficult for someone to cook a dish. It was a food incompatibility. He had done it before. He had gotten poisoned by not cooking the food properly. He went to buy some mushrooms and happened to buy poisonous ones. Fortunately, the neighbor discovered it early and called an ambulance.

"Those were all accidents." Xia Lin didn't expect that he was actually a kitchen killer.

Zhong Yanyan looked at him with a half-smile, "That's normal. After all, you're a young master. It's normal that you can't even tell the difference between salt and sugar."

Xia Lin felt guilty when he heard her say that.

"You are still blaming me for hiding things from you. I really didn't mean to do that. I just didn't want to recognize him, so I told you that I have no father or mother. It is a fact that my mother is gone, and as for my father, he is as good as dead to me. I no longer recognize him after he helped outsiders kill my mother." Xia Lin confessed.

"Okay, then I told you that I don't hate Zexi, and I plan to let him be with An'an. What do you say?"

"And the call just now was from Zexi's parents. Do you know them?" Zhong Yanyan looked at him and asked.

"Yes, I know him. He's an old friend." Xia Lin didn't dare to hide it anymore.

"My friend means he has a good family background." After all, he is the eldest son of the Xia family.

Xia Lin nodded, "Yes, it's the richest man Leng Jingshen, and Leng Zexi is his only son."

Zhong Yanyan hesitated after hearing this. She originally thought it was just good, but she didn't expect it to be so good. "It's a bit out of my reach."

"I originally thought it was just good enough. The property you wanted to return should be enough for An An's dowry. Will this wealthy family have deep connections?" Zhong Yanyan asked worriedly.

"No, the relationship in his family is quite simple. It's a single-line inheritance, and the family tradition is very strict. Either you look down on someone, or once you look at someone, you'll find that they're very focused and have a strong sense of responsibility." Xia Lin was no stranger to the Leng family.

"Leng Zexi's grandparents are very kind people, and his parents are also my friends. If An An marries into his family, she won't have to worry about being bullied. However, there is one thing: there are uncertainties in the future. If Leng Zexi really wants to treat An An badly, there's really nothing we can do about it."

"At most, both sides will suffer losses. Leng Zexi's grandfather is the type who can win both black and white."

"It can be said that there is wealth and glory, but An An's happiness cannot be guaranteed, because I don't know if Leng Zexi can really love An An for the rest of his life."

"If there were four boys from less fortunate families looking after me, I wouldn't be worried at all." Xia Lin expressed his concerns.
