After the divorce, I started playing games

Chapter 157 You are not the only one begging for mercy. There is nothing to be ashamed of.

The next morning, Lin Jiang was awakened by the sound of talking outside.

"Mom, are you feeling unwell?"

"Why do you ask? Isn't mom fine?"

"I heard your voice yesterday, and it seemed like you were in pain."

"No way!" Xu Lin said guiltily:
"After you fell asleep, Mom also fell asleep, so there was no sound."

"It really is, like the sound made by a monster."

"Monster sound?"

"Yes, when Ultraman fights the monster, the monster makes a painful sound like 'Ahhhhh'."

"I see you've been playing too much. You've been dreaming about Ultraman fighting monsters." Xu Lin said guiltily:
"Did you take what you saw in your dream as reality?"

"Is this a dream? I can't quite tell."

"It must be a dream." Xu Lin said:

"Also, don't tell anyone about what happened in your dream, or you will never see Ultraman again."

"I know. I won't tell you."

"Come on, mom will take you to school."

bang-

Soon, Lin Jiang heard the door closing, and the mother and son went to school.

buzzing-

I received a message from Xu Lin on my mobile phone.

Xu Lin: "I made breakfast and am in the kitchen. Eat before leaving."

Xu Lin: "If it's cold, heat it up in the microwave."

Xu Lin: "There is a new toothbrush in the bathroom. That white towel is mine. You can use it."

Xu Lin: "The facial cleanser is next to the toothbrush, in a white bottle, don't use the wrong one."

Lin Jiang: "Got it, Ultraman is going to replenish his energy."

Xu Lin: "Bad guy, I'll bite you."

Lin Jiang: "Give me your bank account number."

Xu Lin: "Got it, I'll send it to you later, flying kiss.JPG."

Lin Jiang got up, stretched, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

After washing up, I went to the kitchen.

What Xu Lin cooks is more Western style.

Two sandwiches, fried eggs, ham, and a glass of milk.

During the meal, Xu Lin sent the account number over, and Lin Jiang forwarded it to Chen Jingxian, telling her to transfer 200 million yuan.

After a quick bite, Lin Jiang left and went to Berkeley Shopping Center.

While on the road, I received an investment rebate of 20. I have to say that Chen Jingxian is very efficient.

At the same time, new game prompts also appeared.

Aren't you a pure pervert?

Driving back to the noodle shop, Li Yuanyuan came over to greet Lin Jiang.

"Brother Jiang, you're back."

Lin Jiang nodded.

"How's business in the store these days?"

"It's all good. Our daily turnover is stable at around 23000. I feel this is our limit," said Li Yuanyuan.
"There are still many customers who want to eat, but because there are so many people lining up, they are unwilling to wait."

"There is no other way. We can only open branches. There is no need to expand." Lin Jiang said:

"I asked you and Yang Tao to look for suitable stores these days. How's the inspection going?"

"We found four good ones. You can go and have a look."

"Send me the exact location later, and I'll go take a look when I have time."

"understood."

Soon, Li Yuanyuan sent the relevant information, which listed a lot of information and was very clear.

Lin Jiang didn't stay long. He took the information provided by Li Yuanyuan and drove away.

I spent the whole morning running around four places and finally selected two.

But Lin Jiang plans to hand over the negotiation work to Yang Tao and Li Yuanyuan, and he also needs to train their abilities in this area.

Although the main culture is limited, ability is something that can be trained and there is no need to do it yourself.

When he came back, Lin Jiang went to Haojue Business Club specifically, but it had not yet opened for business. It would not open until four in the afternoon, so he could go and experience it in the evening.

buzzing-

On the way back, Lin Jiang's cell phone rang. It was Li Zhiyi calling.

"Brother, are you back?"

"We really have a tacit understanding. I'm on my way to your place and will be there soon."

As he spoke, Lin Jiang turned the car around and drove towards Li Zhiyi's home.

"Hehe, I also think that we have a tacit understanding. I'll wait for you at home, and I have good news to tell you."

"What good news."

"Lulu is on a business trip and won't be back until tonight."

"What does her going on a business trip have to do with me?" Lin Jiang asked with a smile.

"I'm going to ignore you. You know everything, but you still ask me. Humph."

"So, are you ready?"

"Oh, I see. I'm going to take a shower now."

"clever."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Jiang sped up the car and arrived at Li Zhiyi's home in less than half an hour. He then brought the fruits he brought from home to her.

When she opened the door, she saw Li Zhiyi wearing a white lace nightgown, which was about the same length as the one Xu Lin wore yesterday, and only enough to cover her buttocks.

"Hey, brother, what did you buy?"

"I didn't buy it, I grew it in my yard. Try it and give me your opinion on how it tastes."

"Thank you, brother, for thinking of me when you get home."

Li Zhiyi reached out, took the things from Lin Jiang's hand, and happily took them to the kitchen.

[You have gained the favor of NPC Li Zhiyi, intimacy +10]

[Intimacy: 140]

[Award 100 million NPC special training fund, has been distributed to the account]

[A reward of 100 million NPC special investment funds has been issued to the account]

It seems that Li Zhiyi and Xu Lin are already on par with each other.

Li Zhiyi washed some bayberries, took a bite, and his eyes lit up.

"Brother, the bayberries you grow are really delicious, and these strawberries are also super sweet."

"Are the strawberries grown in our fields sweeter, or are your strawberries sweeter?"

Li Zhiyi understood Lin Jiang's meaning in an instant, stepped forward and sat on Lin Jiang's lap, hugged his neck, with a sharp look in her eyes and a charming look.

"I don't know, but you'll know once you try it."

"Then I want to have a good taste."

...19931 words omitted here...

More than two hours passed, and Mr. Lin moved to the sofa, bathroom, bedroom, and windowsill again.

Li Zhiyi lay on the bed like a puddle of mud. Lin Jiang was in better condition, but also a little tired.

Two consecutive waves of high-intensity battles within 24 hours. Even with the blessing of a pure yang physique and silver-level kidneys, there is no way to maintain an undefeated state.

"Brother, I think you are getting better and better." Li Zhiyi said weakly:

"And it's become the same as before."

Lin Jiang knew exactly what Li Zhiyi meant.

It must be the effect of the thorny vines that was activated, allowing her to enjoy a different feeling than before.

"What's different?"

"It just feels different, it's just... it's..." Li Zhiyi's face flushed, "I can't really describe what it feels like, it's just different anyway."

"So, you need to practice more and improve your physical fitness."

"I've been practicing dancing for so long, and I feel like my physical fitness has improved a lot, but I didn't expect you to still make me beg for mercy."

You are not the only one begging for mercy, there is nothing to be ashamed of.

He patted Li Zhiyi's butt and said, "Try harder next time, okay?"

"I know." "Take a rest. I have other things to do tonight, so I won't accompany you."

"Ah."

After putting on his clothes, Lin Jiang left, but not long after he left, the door of his house was opened.

Li Zhiyi thought that Lin Jiang had come back again, so he tilted his head to look at the door and found that the person who came in was Wang Lu.

I secretly felt lucky that I didn't call him brother, otherwise I would have been exposed.

"Lulu, you're back."

"Why are you dressed like this when you're alone at home?" Wang Lu asked with a smile when she saw Li Zhiyi wearing a white lace nightgown.

"This is a new nightgown I bought. I wanted to try it out to see if it looks good, so I've been wearing it." Li Zhiyi said seriously.

"But why is your face still red and your hair messy?"

"That..." Li Zhiyi felt a little guilty.

"I was sleeping just now, and the room was too hot, so I forgot to turn on the air conditioner."

“So that’s how it is~~~”

Wang Lu looked ambiguous and said with a sly smile, "Are you sleeping alone or with someone else?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm the only one at home. Who can I sleep with? My doll."

"How could it be a doll? It doesn't move. It must be your good brother."

"No way, Brother Jiang hasn't come back yet."

"Don't pretend, I heard everything just now."

"Ah?! What did you hear?"

"I came back half an hour ago. As soon as I opened the door, I heard you calling me brother, brother. I closed the door and sat downstairs for more than half an hour. I only came up after I saw Lin Jiang leave."

"what--"

Li Zhiyi screamed and buried her head in the quilt, like an ostrich that dared not show its head.

……

It was already past five in the afternoon when Lin Jiang came out of Li Zhiyi's house, and he called Qin Yangyang.

"In the law firm?"

"You're back?" Qin Yangyang's voice was filled with joy.

"Well, I got some fruit from home. I'll bring it to you."

"I'm afraid I can't do it today. I'm on a business trip." Qin Yangyang said:
"By the way, my mom and Youyou said they want to go to your place to eat noodles. If you go back to the noodle shop, you can give her the food. Youyou is staying at my place recently, so ask her to bring it back in the evening."

"Did you go to my place for noodles?"

"Youyou is like your family's publicity ambassador now. She tells my mom every day that your noodles are delicious and she wants to take her to try them. It just so happens that my mom has time today. She said she wants to go shopping in Berkeley and eat at your place."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I have to entertain my future mother-in-law."

"Hehe, she's not your mother-in-law." Qin Yangyang said:
"I won't talk to you for now. I still have work to do. Be obedient at home and wait for me to come back."

"okay."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Jiang drove back to Berkeley.

After coming in, Lin Jiang looked around and saw Qin Youyou and her mother Jiang Rongmin at a window seat.

Qin Youyou was wearing a pair of blue denim shorts, black boots, and a gray short-sleeved shirt, revealing her slender white waist.

Jiang Rongmin's outfit is much more elegant, with a black women's suit and a white shirt underneath. She can be seen different from others in the crowd at a glance, like a crane standing out among chickens.

"Brother Jiang!"

Qin Youyou, who was eating noodles, saw Lin Jiang and greeted him enthusiastically.

Jiang Rongmin also turned around and nodded slightly after seeing Lin Jiang as a greeting.

"Auntie, why didn't you tell me when you came here?"

"I chose to come quietly because I was afraid you would make a big fuss. The business in the store is so busy, you should take care of your own business first."

Lin Jiang took a look at the things on the table. He had basically ordered all the expensive things at home, and there was nothing else to buy.

"Okay, I'll go and cancel your order, and this meal will be on me."

"Thank you, Brother Jiang, for the pen refill."

Jiang Rongmin rolled her eyes at Qin Youyou. She didn't know when she would be able to change her habit of being so familiar with others.

The mother and daughter were eating, and Lin Jiang didn't want to interfere, so he just said hello and went to the kitchen.

"Old Yang, the three of you come with me tonight."

Yang Tao put down the work in his hands and walked over.

"Brother Jiang, is someone here to cause trouble again?"

"No, just follow me."

"Row."

After saying that, Lin Jiang found Li Yuanyuan and arranged the matter of renting a store.

Although I don't have much money, if I find a suitable place, I must rent it first, so that I won't have trouble finding a suitable one when I need it in the future.

"Brother Jiang, we're done eating!" Qin Youyou came over to say hello.

Lin Jiang smiled and nodded, "You and Auntie came here by car, right?"

"Well, is there something wrong, Brother Jiang?"

"You come with me."

Lin Jiang walked out of the bar and took Qin Youyou out.

Open the trunk of the car and take out the fruit.

"I brought some fruit from home and put it in your car."

"Yeah, thank you, Brother Jiang. I won't be polite to you."

"Why are you being so polite to me?" Lin Jiang said with a smile:
"Do you and Auntie want to go shopping for a while?"

"I'm not going to go shopping anymore. I didn't come here to buy anything today." Qin Youyou said:
"My mom's watch ran out of battery and was a little dirty, so she came over to change the battery and clean it up, and by the way, she came to your place to have a bite to eat."

Qin Youyou looked at the watch and said, "It should be almost done now."

"Okay. If you encounter any problems in Berkeley, remember to look for me."

"Of course, thank you Brother Jiang for supporting me, hehe."

After a brief chat, the two went back. Qin Youyou returned to Jiang Rongmin and left the noodle shop through the back door.

"Where did you two go?" Jiang Rongmin asked.

"Brother Jiang brought me some fruit and said he brought it from home."

"I still think of you in this kind of thing."

"Of course." Qin Youyou raised her head and said proudly.

At the Qin family’s level, the value of the gift is no longer important; what matters most is the thought behind it.

The fact that Lin Jiang goes back home and brings things back for his daughter can, to some extent, explain something.

"How are things going with you two now?"

"Ah? Any progress?" Qin Youyou said with an unnatural expression.

"You brought him home in the first place, and now you're asking me about the progress?"

"I sprained my ankle at that time."

"Sprained ankle is the reason? If it wasn't related, would you have brought him home?" Jiang Rongmin said calmly:
"This kid looks good. If you like him, take the initiative."

"Mom, do you really think so?" Qin Youyou asked while holding Jiang Rongmin's arm.

"He is really good. He speaks politely and looks calm. It is not something that most people can do to run a noodle shop to this level."

"Hehe, I also think Brother Jiang is pretty good."

"If you think he's good, go after him. There are probably a lot of people who are interested in him."

"The main reason is that I'm afraid that Brother Jiang doesn't like me. He's too good."

Jiang Rongmin did not respond immediately.

Comparing the two of them, in terms of ability alone, Lin Jiang is indeed much better than Youyou, but Yangyang is a more suitable match for her.

But to some extent, Jiang Rongmin hopes that Lin Jiang and Youyou will be together.

The emotional foundation between the two needs to be stronger. In addition, Youyou's abilities are indeed lacking. If she had a son-in-law like Lin Jiang, they would definitely be able to complement each other.

On the contrary, Yangyang has a rather strong personality and is always cold. It may not be suitable for the two of them to be together.

"He is indeed good, but my daughter is not bad either, and our family conditions are not a burden to you, so why do you feel inferior?"

“But I just don’t dare.”

"You just talk a lot, but when it comes to actions, you're nothing."

"Why do you and my sister both dislike me?"

"Just chase her boldly. If you don't even try, you'd be a coward."

"understood."

While talking, the two arrived at the Breitling store.

"Hello, is the watch ready?" Qin Youyou asked.

"done."

The female clerk welcomed the two to the maintenance center and said, "Master Wu, this lady's watch should have been serviced."

"Okay, here it is."

The repairman took the watch from the velvet tray, put a sealed bag on it, and handed it to Qin Youyou. The mother and daughter walked out of the store together.

Jiang Rongmin took out her watch, which had already been adjusted in time. She had cleaned up the place and was ready to stroll around for a while before going back.

"Ok?"

Jiang Rongmin suddenly muttered something.

"what happened?"

"What's with this scratch? I checked it when I gave it to him, and it seemed like there wasn't any."

"Where is it? Let me see?"

Qin Youyou leaned over and saw an obvious scratch on the crown.

"Could it be that the maintenance technician did it improperly during the cleaning?"

“It should be possible.”
