Financial freedom starts with cracked apps.

Upon hearing Zhao Jianing's words, Qin Yuening's heart trembled.

She had guessed that her best friend might come up with some crazy idea, but she never expected it to be such a terrible one!

"how could it be possible!"

Qin Yuennan immediately refused.

"This is a crucial stage for Shennan's development. If I get pregnant, who will help Lin Shen manage the company?"

"Can't he do it himself?"

"He himself knew how to do this."

Qin Yuennan curled her lip in disdain.

"He's just the one providing the money. If you handed over all the projects to him, the company would probably go bankrupt in a few months."

It wasn't that Qin Yuennan didn't trust Lin Shen, but rather that she had absolute confidence in herself.

However, after hearing her words, Zhao Jianing couldn't help but complain.

"You've already met the parents and you're still thinking about work? You should be thinking about your future!"

"What you said is a bit too extreme."

"How is that extreme? These days, young people won't get pregnant or get married, you know that too."

Zhao Jianing patted Qin Yuennan on the shoulder earnestly.

"Besides, you're already 28. It will take at least three or four years for Shennan to develop. By then, you'll be 32. Even if you're in great shape, there are still certain risks associated with getting pregnant."

"Don't you want to have a child with Lin Shen?"

"..."

After listening to Zhao Jianing's advice, Qin Yuennan hesitated.

She really wanted to have a child with Lin Shen, so that their love could be a symbol of their relationship.

However, the complexities of her career forced her to balance these two things.

After much deliberation, Qin Yuennan was at a loss for what to do and could only put the matter aside for the time being.

"Let's not talk about this now, let's pick out a gift instead."

"alright."

Seeing that Qin Yuennan was avoiding the question, Zhao Jianing didn't say much.

After all, she wasn't involved and couldn't consider things from Qin Yuennan's perspective.

Perhaps her relationship with Lin Shen will be just as strong even without marriage and children?

With so many beautiful women around Lin Shen, Zhao Jianing was always a little worried for her best friend.

Fortunately, she was being taken home.

This is a way for a boy to express his approval of a girl. If he is the first in line, it may even solidify his position as the "official girlfriend"!
Therefore, this trip home is a must for Nan Nan!
As the person involved, Qin Yuennan hadn't done anything yet, but Zhao Jianing was already excited for her, offering all sorts of suggestions and helping her choose gifts to give to Lin Shen's parents.

Ultimately, she decided to give Lin Shen's mother donkey-hide gelatin, gold jewelry, and a fur coat.

He gave his father a belt and expensive cigarettes and alcohol.

Seeing Qin Yuennan buying things like she was preparing for the New Year, Zhao Jianing couldn't help but complain.

"Those who know you will think that Lin Shen took you home to meet his parents, while those who don't will think that you came to propose marriage."

“It’s pretty much the same.”

Qin Yuennan didn't dislike this way of speaking.

"I can marry Lin Shen."

"Then the other women around him must be furious."

Zhao Jianing said with a smile, teasingly.

"How are your relationships with the other women around Lin Shen?"

“They all listen to me.”

Qin Yuennan raised her chin slightly with a hint of pride and complained to her best friend about Shen Yun and Lin Ping's affair, which left Zhao Jianing speechless.

"Does Lin Shen prefer older women? Other rich second-generation men date female college students, but he's different. It's either an older woman like you who's three years older, or a mature woman who's seven or eight years older, or even ten years older."

"As expected, everyone's XP is different."

"Freeze said."

Qin Yuennan glared at Zhao Jianing with displeasure.

"He has his own reasons for having relationships with these women. For example, Shen Yun, she is the chairman of Yuanyouwei Food Factory."

"So it was her!?"

As a wealthy young woman who frequents high-class circles in Shanghai, Zhao Jianing obviously has a general understanding of the senior management of these companies.

After all, it's the same group of people you see every day when you participate in activities.

Yuanyouwei, in particular, is a well-known food processing plant in Shanghai, having done OEM manufacturing for many retailers.

Moreover, she is a woman, and a woman with such strong career capabilities is truly rare in Shanghai.

Therefore, Zhao Jianing had a relatively good impression of her.

In addition, her extremely alluring appearance makes her the object of desire for many middle-aged men in their forties and fifties.

Unexpectedly, she turned out to be Lin Shen's woman!
This made Zhao Jianing admire him a little.

What incredible personal charisma it must take to gather so many outstanding women around you!
This isn't something that can be achieved simply by being handsome, rich, and having a charming personality.

You also need to have your own unique characteristics that attract women.

Could it be that……

As a "professor" who was well-versed in matters of men and women, Zhao Jianing seemed to understand everything after thinking it over.

Sure enough, in the end, no matter what kind of man he is, he has to rely on his strength in some area to conquer a woman.

Even if someone is incredibly wealthy, if they're lacking in certain areas, they probably won't be able to keep a woman.

This also explains why Qin Yuennan is becoming more and more beautiful and has a better figure.

After all, men are the "miracle cure" for women to maintain their youth!

Zhao Jianing was very curious about this, so she asked Qin Yuennan about it.

"You don't look pregnant. Could it be because you and Lin Shen are having some kind of incompatibility?"

"Huh? What are you thinking!"

Qin Yuening was startled by Zhao Jianing's bold statement. She quickly looked around and, seeing that no one was paying attention, gestured for her to be quiet.

"Keep your voice down! These kinds of issues should be discussed in private!"

"Could I have been right?!"

"You big idiot!"

Qin Yuening twisted Zhao Jianing's cheek "fiercely" before quickly shutting her up with facts.

"The disharmony between Lin Shen and me isn't what you imagine."

"Then why not get pregnant? Just take off the T-shirt; men like that anyway."

"Stop talking!"

Qin Yuennan quickly covered Zhao Jianing's mouth.

"Let's drop this. You don't even have a boyfriend, so don't worry about me."

"There's nothing I can do, my standards are too high."

Zhao Jianing was well aware of his shortcomings, and then spread his hands and sighed helplessly.

"Although I have met too many men who call themselves elites, they all have their own flaws."

"To be honest, of all the people I've met, Lin Shen is truly the most outstanding, otherwise..."

"you dare?"

"Oh dear! You just don't understand."

Zhao Jianing clearly didn't take Qin Yuening's warning seriously, and said with a grin.

"Lin Shen has so many women around him, you'll end up with them sooner or later. I'm giving you a heads-up so you won't feel awkward later."

"No! Impossible!" Qin Yuenan coldly and flatly rejected Zhao Jianing's idea.

"It can only be Lin Shen and me; there's no room for a third party!"

"Then he'll have to find someone else willing to have a threesome."

Zhao Jianing revealed a meaningful smile.

"Nannan, you wouldn't want your boyfriend to be entangled with two or more women at the same time, would you?"

"If that scenario really happens, he'll probably be so happy he won't even remember you."

"nonsense!"

Although Qin Yuennan expressed disbelief, she couldn't help but feel worried.

Is it really as Jia Ning said, that Lin Shen also enjoys being with so many people?

She simply couldn't stand it.

She felt incredibly uncomfortable seeing others doing such intimate things, let alone being with them.

But if Lin Shen wanted to, perhaps he himself...

Qin Yuennan bit her lip, seemingly conflicted.

Seeing her gloomy look, Zhao Jianing decided not to tease her any further. Instead, she smiled and pulled her away from the tobacco and liquor store to go shopping at the next shop.

"Winter is coming soon, let's buy some winter clothes for Lin Shen's parents. I'm sure they'll like them."

"Ah."

Qin Yuennan nodded slightly, her heart filled with anticipation for the upcoming National Day holiday.

Finally, I'm going to meet Lin Shen's parents!
-

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the Civil Aviation College.

Lin Ping parked her car on the side of the road and then made a phone call to Zheng Yanfei.

"Hey! Xiaofei, I've arrived. Yes, I'm right at your school gate. Come out."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ping waited in the car for a short while before Zheng Yanfei came skipping and hopping out of the school gate.

Because she was meeting Lin Ping, her outfit today was rather conservative, consisting of jeans and a sweatshirt, covering up everything that could be covered.

She only wears stockings and shows off her legs, shoulders, or neck when she sees Lin Shen.

But it's a different story when it comes to my own aunt. After all, she's an elder, so I have to dress more appropriately.

Even though she dressed simply, Zheng Yanfei's youthful and beautiful image was still incredibly dazzling, making Lin Ping extremely envious.

"Xiaofei, you look even more beautiful these past few days."

"Oh, Auntie, please don't praise me like that."

Zheng Yanfei smiled and took Lin Ping's arm.

"You're very pretty too, you look like a girl in her early twenties."

"You're exaggerating a bit too much."

Lin Ping affectionately pinched Zheng Yanfei's nose, then invited her to sit in the passenger seat and drove to a nearby shopping mall.

"So? What's your decision?"

Lin Ping asked Zheng Yanfei softly.

"Want to come with me and go back to our hometown for a visit?"

"Um……"

After pondering for a while, Zheng Yanfei seemed to still have some hesitation.

Actually, a long time ago, Lin Ping had approached her to discuss going home for the National Day holiday, but she had never agreed.

The root cause is family issues.

Zheng Yanfei didn't really want to meet her parents.

Putting aside the fact that she has a stepmother who is hostile to her, Zheng Yanfei is angry for a long time just because of her incompetent father.

This is also why she came to Shanghai to study – to get away from her terrible family of origin!
In the past, Lin Ping didn't go back to her hometown much during the National Day holiday because she had a family; she would only go back during the Spring Festival.

However, after her divorce this year, she plans to go home to visit her family and deal with the rumors circulating about them.

"If you don't want to go back to your own home, you can come to my house."

Seeing Zheng Yanfei hesitate, Lin Shen smiled and invited her.

"It's nice that the National Day holiday coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, so going home for a family reunion is a good option."

"really?"

Upon hearing Lin Ping's invitation to her home, Zheng Yanfei's eyes lit up.

She does like Lin Ping more now, after all, her aunt has taken good care of her in every way.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Zheng Yanfei finally made her own choice.

"Alright then, I'll go home first and see how my father reacts. If he and my aunt still have that attitude, then I'll go to your house, Auntie."

"Ah."

Lin Ping pondered silently.

In fact, after her sister passed away, her family rarely interacted with Zheng Yanfei's father.

After all, he took so long to find a wife, which is more than enough, so they couldn't say anything.

However, Lin Ping still harbored some resentment towards Zheng Yanfei's stepmother's cold attitude towards her.

She truly hadn't expected that such people actually existed.

Although Xiaofei is not your biological child, she is still your lover's child.

Even if you don't care, there's no need to look down on them like that, right?

Isn't it because you think her presence will affect your marital relationship?
Having experienced the upheavals in her marriage during this period, Lin Ping has seen through the coldness and warmth of the world.

The only person you can truly trust is yourself.

Of course, President Lin is also a trustworthy person.

Lin Ping's lips curled slightly, while Zheng Yanfei began to secretly observe her aunt, who had undergone a tremendous change.

Previously, she was gentle and virtuous, a hardworking and thrifty wife and mother.

But now, she exudes a unique aura of a strong woman, as well as the confident demeanor of someone in a position of power.

Only women who have achieved a certain level of success in their careers can possess this kind of aura.

I feel like something must have happened to my aunt recently!
Zheng Yanfei was absolutely certain of this, so she carefully examined Lin Ping.

This close inspection revealed something quite unusual about Lin Ping.

That was the gold necklace she was wearing around her neck.

It's a small style that's very common in jewelry stores, and it's perfect for women to wear.

But that's not the point. The point is that after seeing this gold necklace, Zheng Yanfei suddenly thought of something.

Just a few days ago, when she was serving Lin Shen in bed with another of his lovers, that young woman was also wearing the exact same gold necklace!
It can't be such a coincidence, right?
Zheng Yanfei seemed to realize something, and her heart began to beat faster involuntarily.

Although her eyes were covered by a white blindfold at the time, the world in front of her became a blur of white light.

However, because the two shared an ice cream, their cheeks got very close.

This allowed Zheng Yanfei to catch a glimpse of the blurry face of the young woman beside her, as well as the gold necklace around her neck.

Could it be...

impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
The astonishing idea had barely surfaced in Zheng Yanfei's mind when she immediately shook her head in denial.

How could her own aunt be that young woman next to Brother Lin Shen!
Although they are about the same age, their temperaments are very different!

Zheng Yanfei's impression of Lin Ping is that she is gentle, virtuous, reserved, and a good wife and mother with a strong sense of life.

However, in her eyes, Lin Shen's young mistress was nothing but a slut!
She was a mature and sexy young woman who exuded a seductive charm and knew how to please men. Her skills in serving men were clearly trained.

How could these two be the same person?! (End of Chapter)
