Chapter 517 Meeting the Future Father-in-Law

Liu Zhengyuan's expression revealed his helplessness. Although Ms. Cheng no longer manages the company's affairs, she still holds considerable influence at home should something happen.

This is quite different from Ms. Jiang, the mother of Miss Yuan. After all, the couple started from scratch and had encountered all sorts of troubles over the years. They could easily tell what was going on with such petty tricks.

Of the three people present, only Liu Zhengyuan had never eaten Lin Mo's cooking. Yuan Guocheng and Ms. Cheng both understood how profitable Lin Mo's restaurant was.

Even if they only operate one day a week, they can still make more than 20 million in profit a year. If they operate 365 days a year, the net profit would be over 100 million, which would tempt even the two of them.

Neither of the two families had any intention of getting involved, but outsiders wanted to get a share of the pie. This was simply provoking trouble.

Especially Ms. Cheng, if this restaurant can generate such profits, then it will all belong to my daughter in the future. Who do you think you are, a nobody, daring to touch my daughter's money!
"My wife asked my son to investigate their businesses. Yuanyuan told me about it when she came back. Lao Liu, what do you think Xiaolin did?" Comrade Yuan asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhengyuan sighed helplessly and said, "To be honest, I'm not as good as you. At least you've seen the child, while I haven't even seen him. How am I supposed to know?"

However, they must have truly run out of options, or perhaps they simply couldn't figure out how the child did it, otherwise they wouldn't have had someone call us.

Hearing this, Comrade Old Yuan glanced at his old friend, pointed at him, and couldn't help but laugh: "You, you, the father, your child is already dating, and you know nothing about it! What do you say to yourself!"
Xiaolin met my daughter Yuanyuan first. At the time, her mother thought they were dating, but they turned out to be good friends. If he were my daughter's boyfriend, I would definitely make time to meet him. Children's affairs are important.

So, they went back to Jiangning today. How about we get together for a meal sometime? And ask him what happened?

"I also have a share in the restaurant business, and besides, my wife and I think Xiaolin is a good kid. He's helped me a lot. Let's sit down and discuss it together to see how to resolve this. After all, they're waiting for our news."

Although they were not going to get involved in the matter, the middleman the other party had hired was still waiting for their news.

Those who can act as intermediaries are naturally people with whom they have a good relationship, so they should be given this much face. No matter what the outcome, at least there should be an explanation.

"Okay, what time will they arrive?" Liu Zhengyuan thought for a moment and couldn't help but ask. To be honest, after this incident, he was also a little interested in his daughter's boyfriend.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Guocheng glanced at his watch: "We'll be there before noon!"

"Well, in that case, let's have it at my place. I'd like to take a look too." After saying that, Liu Zhengyuan looked at his wife and continued, "Tell Sister Wang to make a big meal for lunch today, and then you can call that boy and tell him to come over directly!"

"Okay, I'll go right away." Hearing this, Ms. Cheng was very happy.

After Ms. Cheng left, the two men continued drinking tea and discussing the impact of the incident and how it would be resolved.

To be honest, what the two of them were thinking right now was that at most they would teach the other a lesson, get some compensation for Lin Mo, and have the other apologize, and then the matter would be over.

After all, going too far wouldn't benefit Lin Mo either, mainly because they didn't know his capabilities. So, they decided to stop while they were ahead. Of course, it all depended on what Lin Mo, the person involved, thought.

Both of them shared the same attitude: they were willing to help and support him, and if he wanted some benefits, that was fine, but there was really no need to fight to the death with him. If Lin Mo had the ability to do so, they wouldn't stop him; they would never use their own family's interests to help an outsider.

Let alone Yuan Guocheng, even if it were Liu Zhengyuan's own daughter dating Lin Mo, he wouldn't do this. After all, a partner is just a partner, and they might break up at any time. It's not like they're getting a marriage certificate.

Meanwhile, Lin Mo and his three companions sped along the highway. Since it wasn't a holiday, the highway was empty, and they were driving incredibly fast. Before 11 a.m., they were almost in Jiangning.

"Okay, no problem, I understand, Auntie. Don't worry, I'll go straight there after I get off the highway."

Yes, I'm with Sister Yuan, we're going back together!

On the way, Lin Mo received a call from Ms. Cheng, who asked him how much longer it would take to arrive and invited him to come over for lunch to discuss how to resolve the matter.

He certainly had no reason to refuse, given the relationship between the two families, the help he had received from Miss Yuan's family in this matter, and even his subsequent plans; he needed the help of both families.

In other words, Liu Ruyan wasn't there. If she were, he would definitely discuss it with his girlfriend first. As for reconciliation? What a joke! Letting a tiger return to the mountain and waiting for the other party to retaliate?

"Aunt Cheng, I'm here. Mozai and I are together. We'll go back after we tell our two other friends," Miss Yuan said sweetly from the passenger seat.

Upon hearing this, Ms. Cheng on the other end of the phone smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll have someone prepare your favorite sweet fermented rice balls!"

"Yay, Aunt Cheng is the best!" Miss Yuan was immediately happy when she heard there was something delicious to eat. After hanging up the phone, Miss Yuan immediately called Chuanmei and Director Wang, telling them to just go back to the school, as she had something to do.

Wang and his companion didn't care about this at all; all they wanted now was to go back to their own territory and recuperate.

Anyway, Lin Mo's matter has been resolved, and there's nothing more for them to do, so of course they should take a good rest and also think about how to make money.

Soon, the four people and two cars exited the highway. At a fork in the road, the two cars separated and headed towards their respective destinations.

Although Ms. Cheng told Lin Mo to go directly there, he still found a place, got out of the car, and bought some things, since he couldn't just go empty-handed.

At 12:20 pm, Lin Mo drove Miss Yuan to the villa area.

Having already familiarized himself with the place before, Lin Mo was quite at ease this time. Ms. Cheng didn't greet him at the gate this time, but instead let him drive the car in directly, saving them the trouble of walking and making things much easier for the two of them.

"Aunt Cheng~~ I'm here~"

As soon as she got out of the car, Miss Yuan took off running forward with her arms outstretched, where Ms. Cheng was standing at the villa entrance to greet her.

Ms. Cheng hugged Miss Yuan tightly, pinched her cheek, and then looked at Lin Mo, who was carrying things in his hands, and laughed, "You silly child, I told you not to bring anything, but you're still being so polite!"

"It's nothing, Auntie. I just got off the highway and bought a little something. Please don't mind," Lin Mo said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Ms. Cheng released Miss Yuan, came over, patted his arm, and sighed, "You've lost weight~ Alright, come inside quickly, the food will be ready soon, eat more to replenish your strength!"

Soon, Ms. Cheng led the two into the living room and said, "Her father, this is Xiao Lin."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo immediately spotted Liu Zhengyuan, who had stood up from the sofa. His plump figure was identical to the person he had seen at the restaurant entrance. How could he not recognize him? He quickly greeted him, "Hello, Uncle, my name is Lin Mo!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhengyuan looked Lin Mo up and down, nodding inwardly. No wonder his daughter had taken a liking to him; she did indeed have a third of his youthful charm.

"Hmm, not bad, sit down!"

Although he somewhat approved of the young man, as an elder, he naturally had to maintain his composure. "You think you can provide my family with cabbages? Not so easy." He had to keep up appearances and not lose face.

Then Lin Mo looked at Ms. Jiang and her husband.

"Aunt Jiang, Uncle Yuan!"

Both of them remained seated on the sofa. Upon hearing this, Ms. Jiang smiled and asked, "You're back. Are you alright?"

"It's nothing, I'm fine," Lin Mo said with a smile.

Yuan Guocheng laughed and said, "You've really made a big fuss this time, kid. You've got some skills!"

"Hey, I'm nothing compared to what you're getting into, Uncle Yuan! Congratulations on your upcoming fortune!" Lin Mo said meaningfully.

Upon hearing this, Comrade Yuan was taken aback: "Get rich? How come I didn't know I was going to get rich again?"

"That depends on whether you want to or not," Lin Mo said.

Hearing this, Old Yuan became interested: "Oh? Now that you mention it, I'm a little curious. Where does this wealth come from?"

"You said if the factory loses power and can't produce, should we sell it at a low price?" Lin Mo asked quietly.

Upon hearing this, both Comrade Yuan and Liu Zhengyuan widened their eyes.
