After the college entrance examination, life began to follow one's heart

Chapter 170 Buying a House for Mom: Ms. Ren's Happiness in Middle Age
the next morning.

After Xu Lin and his group finished breakfast, they went out around 8 a.m.

Xu Lin wasn't joking; he really was going to look at houses today.

Moreover, he is an efficient person who doesn't want too much trouble. He wants to get the house issue settled today and doesn't want to worry about it tomorrow.

When it comes to big purchases like houses, people with average financial means naturally need to consider it for a long time. But for someone like Xu Lin, who is not short of money, he can have any kind of house as long as he has the money.

So in the morning, Xu Lin contacted a top real estate agent through a property viewing app.

Around nine o'clock, Xu Lin and his group saw the real estate agent.

The man seemed quite reliable.

When the agent arrived, he saw Ms. Ren with two young men and women, both of whom looked to be under twenty years old. The agent assumed that Ms. Ren was the one making the decision.

It's December now, and the temperature in Jiangdu is still in the single digits today, but in the provincial capital, the high today is 19 degrees Celsius.

So when Ms. Ren went out in the morning, she wore a trench coat, long-sleeved shirts, slightly loose straight-leg jeans, and black women's leather shoes. Overall, she gave off a capable and confident vibe, like a woman who walks with a confident stride.

Xu Lin's mother is very beautiful, no less so than Rong Xiyan and the others. She is not even forty years old yet, and she takes very good care of herself, without even crow's feet.

The real estate agent thought she looked like a successful woman and didn't dare to underestimate her. They also assumed that she was the one making the decisions about buying the house, and that Xu Lin and Rong Xiyan were her children.

However, the agent made a mistake.

Ms. Ren pointed to Xu Lin and said, "This is my son. He'll make the decision about buying the house."

Ms. Ren feels that Xu Lin has grown up. Now that Xu Lin is paying for the house, as his mother, all she has to do is offer some suggestions. As for anything else, she won't interfere. Her son will eventually grow up.

The agent looked at Xu Lin and asked, "What's your name, sir?"

"Just call me Mr. Xu."

Xu Lin spoke calmly.

"Hello, Mr. Xu!"

The agent quickly reached out and shook hands with Xu Lin.

After the two shook hands, the real estate agent asked Xu Lin what kind of house he wanted to buy.

Xu Lin: "For large apartments of more than 200 square meters, the building must be a good building."

"Well then, Mr. Xu, we happen to have several very nice large apartments here, as well as some fully furnished ones. Would you like to take a look?"

"Let's go take a look."

"These three, please come this way!"

The agent drove the car, and all three of them rode in the agent's car.

If Xu Lin clearly stated that he wanted to buy a house, it would be unreasonable for the real estate agent not to provide a car for him. Besides, large apartments in the provincial capital cost at least several million yuan, and some cost more than ten million yuan, and of course, there are even more expensive ones.

If a deal is closed, the agent can earn a considerable amount.

In the morning, Xu Lin and the others were looking at these large apartments.

Xu Lin and his group initially looked at two unfinished apartments, each over 200 square meters in size.

I quite liked it when I first watched it.

But when Xu Lin saw the fully furnished large apartments, he changed his mind.

After all, if it's a bare-bones apartment, it will need to be renovated later, and it will take at least six months before you can move in.

After comparing prices from several options, Xu Lin looked at four more fully furnished luxury apartments, each about 300 square meters, priced at over ten million yuan, with the most expensive one costing seventeen million yuan.

In the provincial capital, although the average housing price is 18,000 yuan per square meter, there are also some residential areas where the price is tens of thousands of yuan per square meter.

The most expensive apartment Xu Lin looked at, priced at 17 million, was in one of the most expensive neighborhoods in the provincial capital.

It was also the last thing I watched.

What are the features of this apartment? Excluding the shared area, it's 289 square meters, with six bedrooms and two living rooms. Apart from one shared bathroom, each bedroom has its own ensuite bathroom. The decor is high-end and luxurious, which is to be expected given the price.

In addition, four parking spaces were provided, all connected together, so parking is not a problem; you can park in any of the four spaces.

"How about we buy this set?"

Xu Lin asked his mother.

“Is it too expensive?”

Seventeen million! Ms. Ren has never seen so much money in her life!
"So, do you like this set?"

"I like it, but it's really expensive..."

This large apartment is beautifully decorated and looks very high-end. As for the decoration materials, according to the agent, they are also very good materials.

Moreover, the community environment is very good. In addition, just across the street is the best shopping mall in the provincial capital, bar none. It's only a few minutes' walk from downstairs.

Further away, a ten-minute drive away, is another top-tier hospital.

Such things go without saying about the overall supporting facilities and environment.

Therefore, this large apartment is definitely worth it.

It would be a lie to say I don't like it.

Xu Lin nodded slightly: "Then let's buy this set. As for the money, just listen to me."

The agent was shocked when he overheard their conversation.

Unexpectedly, Xu Lin wanted to buy this house, a house worth 17 million. According to the commission, the real estate agent could get several hundred thousand, enough to buy a car.

You might only run into a handful of big spenders like Xu Lin in a year.

Ms. Ren nodded and said, "Then you decide."

Once the money is in place, the rest of the procedures are simple.

The intermediaries handled everything for them, so Xu Lin and his team hardly had to lift a finger.

Xu Lin paid in full upfront.

The agent was surprised again, thinking they were just paying a down payment, but Xu Lin paid the full amount without even blinking.

Moreover, this is 17 million. Even a rich kid might not be able to afford that much money, let alone a teenager. Ultimately, the decision should be made by the parents. So, the most capable person here is Xu Lin. I don't know what he does, but he's so wealthy.

The ID card information is from June 2007, so he was only eighteen and a half years old!

While deeply shocked, the agent didn't ask any more questions. What's the point of asking about client privacy?

A few hours later, everything was settled.

The agent also mentioned a gift package worth 888,000 yuan.

What gift package?

Xu Lin didn't care about such things, so Ms. Ren quickly asked the real estate agent.

The agent smiled and said, "Actually, it's just a TV, refrigerator, sofa, mattress, etc., all big brands, with a total value of 888,000 yuan. Ms. Ren can make an appointment, and we will have someone deliver it to your door."

Ms. Ren: "Then let's set a time!"

This large apartment has everything you could possibly need, and the furniture and interior decorations are all from top brands.

However, back in my hometown, these things are all useful.

Moreover, how could one refuse a gift package worth 888,000 yuan?
Do you have any photos to look at?

Xu Lin came over and asked.

"Mr. Xu, please take a look!"

The agent opened the photos and began to introduce the TV, "This is the latest Sony model, worth over 40,000 yuan. I see Mr. Xu is not very old, so he probably plays games. It can be used in his room for playing games and watching movies, etc..."

Then, the agent mentioned other great packages, such as a Casarte washer-dryer combo, which was worth more than 30,000 yuan.

Xu Lin looked at it for a while and found that the gift package was indeed quite good, and it wasn't a cheap, cheap gift package. If you searched online, you could find that most of the packages were the latest models, so it was indeed a sincere offer.

In total, it's worth 888,000, which is about 900,000. The 17 million flat is worth a little over 16 million after discounts.

Xu Lin: "Can you arrange for us to come to your home in the next couple of days?"

"Yes, all of them are possible!" the agent quickly replied.

"Then please deliver it as soon as possible in the next couple of days!"

Xu Lin dislikes dawdling and prioritizes efficiency above all else.

"Okay, Mr. Xu."

That concludes the house-buying saga.

It was all done in one day.

Xu Lin found it troublesome and didn't want to spend too much time on it.

Xu Lin: "Let's go eat. We'll stay in this big apartment tonight."

"Xu Lin has grown up!"

Ms. Ren reached out and touched Xu Lin's hair, feeling very gratified that Xu Lin was now capable of handling things on his own.

"You say I'm all grown up, why are you still patting my head?"

Xu Lin smiled.

"You little rascal, Mom was just patting your head!"

Ms. Ren gave Xu Lin a slight glare.

Rong Xiyan, holding Ms. Ren's other arm, said, "Mom, should we buy something else?"

Ms. Ren said, "I need to buy a lot of things to move into the new house!"

"Then let's go shopping after we've eaten!"

Rong Xiyan was very excited; she had always been enthusiastic about shopping.

"Alright, alright, let's eat first and then talk."

Ms. Ren touched Rong Xiyan's hair again and couldn't help but say, "Yan Yan's hair is so good, I'm envious of its quality."

"Mom's hair is beautiful too!"

"Mom is getting old, her hair isn't as good as it used to be."

Xu Lin and his group are still inside the large apartment and haven't left yet.

The group then went downstairs.

This residential area is located in one of the most economically developed districts in the provincial capital. Right next to it is the best shopping mall in the province, just a few minutes' walk away, which is very convenient.

This is one of the reasons why Xu Lin was interested in this house.

If he buys a house in Jiangdu later, he will also consider this aspect.

Now, you can walk there and buy or eat whatever you want. There's also an imported goods supermarket here with a wide variety of foreign products, such as some imported fruits. If you want to try something new, you can buy it here.
Inside the mall, most of the food stalls are located on the fifth or sixth floor.

In the best shopping malls, the food is naturally a bit more expensive. For three people, there are restaurants that cost over a thousand yuan per meal, while the cheaper ones start at three or four hundred yuan.

Xu Lin and his group ate sauerkraut fish this time. A large portion of sauerkraut fish, plus a few snacks and three cups of fruit tea, cost a little over four hundred yuan, which was acceptable.

We ate and drank our fill, and it was only a little past six o'clock. At that time, it was just getting dark outside.

Xu Lin and his group decided to stroll around the mall.

Since it's a new house, I bought mostly household items. As for the things in Ms. Ren's rented house, I'll treat them as old things, sell what I can, and throw away what I can't sell as garbage.

I have a lot of things to buy tonight, such as household items like shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, body lotion, toothbrush, toothpaste, towels, bath towels, hair dryer, etc.

Body lotion?
That must be what Rong Xiyan and the others used; Xu Lin just gave them a bottle of shower gel.

As for food, Ms. Ren doesn't order takeout or eat out much, except for gatherings. She usually cooks at home, and because she's a good cook, she often invites friends over to cook for her. In addition to cooking, Ms. Ren also makes other things with flour, such as glutinous rice balls, pastries, cakes, etc. She has quite a few skills, and she can even make anything Xu Lin wants to eat.

Finally, Ms. Ren and her family bought a lot of bedding sets and comforters.

After several hours, I ended up with a huge amount of shopping. Luckily, the supermarket offers home delivery for orders over a certain amount, otherwise Xu Lin would have had to pick up the items.

There were quite a lot of people tonight, a huge crowd of people out shopping, and Uncle Hat was busy maintaining order.

It's New Year's Eve, and many people are out.

The mall was especially crowded. Luckily, Xu Lin and his group had dinner in advance, otherwise queuing would have been a problem.

It's about nine o'clock in the evening.

Everyone finally got home, and the groceries they bought from the supermarket had already been delivered.

I have a lot to do tonight after I get back.

"No one has lived here yet, so let's clean up first. We need to wipe down things like the tables."

"Xu Lin? Help us clean up. Look how well-behaved Yan Yan is!"

Xu Lin could only clean with the two of them. It wasn't tiring, but it was really boring.

It was finally all done two hours later.

Around 11:00 PM, Xu Lin returned to the ensuite bathroom in his bedroom to take a shower.

Not long after Xu Lin took a shower, Rong Xiyan sneaked in and locked the door behind her.

"Xu Lin, I'm here!"

She lowered her voice, but sounded quite excited.

Xu Lin hadn't closed the bathroom door and saw the other person.

"what?"

"I want to sleep with you tonight!"

"Then wait until I finish showering."

"Hmph, I want to wash too!"

Rong Xiyan was quite bold. She had long since lost her shyness when she was with Xu Lin, so she was able to take off her clothes and come in right in front of him.

Xu Lin patted her butt.

"Xu Lin, why did you spank me again?"

"What are you doing? Lie down by the sink!"

"satyr!"

Rong Xiyan then realized what Xu Lin was up to.

"You called me a pervert? You barged in while I was showering. Do you know how easily I can act impulsively at my age?"

"Know it!"

Rong Xiyan obediently lay down on the sink, giving Xu Lin a very stimulating position.

Seeing this, Xu Lin had to warm things up a bit, which involved giving Rong Xiyan an inappropriate massage.

It took less than a minute.

Then, Xu Lin reached out and covered Rong Xiyan's mouth.

Rong Xiyan is usually quite loud, the complete opposite of Ning Yuhan – one is loud, the other is shy and doesn't dare to speak.

However, because Ms. Ren was there, Xu Lin didn't dare to torment Rong Xiyan too much, so the two of them prepared to go to sleep around 1 a.m.

"Xu Lin."

"what happened?"

Xu Lin sensed that the other party had something to say.

"Happy New Year!"

Rong Xiyan smiled sweetly and put her arm around him.

Xu Lin was stunned for a moment before he remembered that tonight was New Year's Eve, and it was already past midnight, the time had entered New Year's Day 2026.

"Happy New Year!"

Xu Lin also said something.

"Mmm, Happy New Year, time for bed."

"Go to sleep."

Xu Lin pulled the blanket over Rong Xiyan, and she fell asleep in no time, as she was simply too tired.

Xu Lin was still awake.

Tonight, as we approach New Year's Eve, he realized he hadn't yet sent Ning Yuhan a New Year's greeting.

Xu Lin opened his phone and saw a lot of messages, including one sent by Ning Yuhan at exactly twelve o'clock.

It's past 1 a.m. now.

Ning Yuhan doesn't stay up late unless Xu Lin is around.

"Honey, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year, senior!"

Xu Lin also replied.

Yu Xinyan also sent a message, also wishing everyone a Happy New Year.

"Happy New Year, Yan Yan!"

Xu Lin also replied to the other party.

Xu Lin was about to put down his phone and go to sleep when Yu Xinyan sent him a message. "Xu Lin, did you stay up late again?"

"Don't you also stay up late?"

Xu Lin: "Go to bed early."

Are you coming out tomorrow? I'm on holiday.

"No, I'm in the provincial capital with my mom."

"Ah, okay then."

"Get some rest," Xu Lin said.

Yu Xinyan: "Is it cold over there?"

"The temperature is in the double digits, not cold."

"But the temperature difference between day and night is big, right? Remember to keep warm and don't catch a cold, otherwise I'll worry."

"Okay, you too."

"OK!"

The two actually chatted for more than ten minutes. Yu Xinyan was still working on an assignment that night, and the whole dormitory was still awake. Xu Lin urged her to go to sleep, and that's when they ended their chat.

The next morning, Ms. Ren made her first breakfast in her new home.

Delicious glutinous rice balls without filling.

After breakfast, Xu Lin and his group drove back to their rented apartment in the morning to move.

The entire move took up most of the day.

Xu Lin realized he had underestimated his mother, or rather, he had underestimated women.

Because Ms. Ren had a lot of things, her clothes alone filled seven large bags, the kind of large bags used for storing blankets, and they were quite big. You can imagine how many clothes she had.

This is just the clothing; there are other miscellaneous items behind it.

In short, there are many items.

"There's so much stuff."

Xu Lin couldn't help but complain.

Ms. Ren came straight at her: "What do you know?"

Xu Lin: "I called Lalamove, your car can't hold this much stuff."

"Then let's call it Lalamove."

"Let's not take the other unwanted things over there."

"Okay, whatever you say."

After Lalamove arrived, they unloaded all the things that needed to be moved. Xu Lin went with them to move, but he drove Ms. Ren's car, not Lalamove's car.

After finishing this trip, Xu Lin came back and contacted the property management at the rental house. He called two cleaning ladies up, each paying 500 yuan. Two hours later, the rental house was as new as it could be, and even the toilet was cleaned up with the slightest bit of dirt.

"Finally, we're leaving this place!"

Looking at the rented room where she had lived for five years, Ms. Ren couldn't help but sigh.

People are naturally nostalgic; anyone who has ever rented a place can understand this—the house holds many of their memories.

Xu Lin suddenly said, "How about we post something on WeChat Moments to express our feelings?"

"You brat, you have no sense of romance!"

Ms. Ren pinched Xu Lin's cheek.

Rong Xiyan, that girl, was itching for a beating, so she reached out and pinched Xu Lin's cheek, saying, "You have no sense of romance!"

Xu Lin smiled but said nothing.

At 5 PM on New Year's Day, the rental apartment was also vacated.

The landlord is actually a female colleague of Ms. Ren's law firm, but not before; she became one later.

He's quite young. His family owns eighteen houses in the provincial capital, none of which are apartments. They're all in good locations and rented out. He works just to kill time.

Where is Sister Ren planning to move to?

The landlady was curious and began to look at Xu Lin again, thinking to herself, "Is this the legendary son of Sister Ren?"
There's another girl, whom Sister Ren usually calls her goddaughter, or rather, her precious daughter.

Ms. Ren said, "Yes, Shengtian Yuge, that's where we're staying now."

"Has Sister Ren bought a house over there?"

The prices at Shengtian Yuge are quite high, averaging over 30,000 to 50,000 yuan per square meter, with some reaching 40,000 to 50,000 yuan per square meter.

Ms. Ren pointed to Xu Lin and said, "This is my son. He bought me a house."

Those familiar with Ms. Ren know that she talks about her son a lot. Not only now that Xu Lin has become successful, but even when Xu Lin was still in elementary school, Ms. Ren would talk about her son every day. For a mother, posting pictures of her child is perfectly normal.

Hello, sister.

Xu Lin greeted her; the landlady was in her late twenties, a rather beautiful and mature woman.

"I've heard your mother mention you many times. Your name is Xu Lin, right? And are you the Mr. Xu from the internet?"

The landlord looked at Xu Lin with curiosity.

"Yes, it's me."

"Wow, impressive! Handsome and outstanding!"

"My sister is also very beautiful and has an excellent temperament!"

"Haha, you have such a sweet tongue, you flatter me!"

The two chatted for ten minutes.

After checking out, everyone said goodbye. Actually, Ms. Ren and the other party were colleagues, so saying goodbye was enough.

As night fell, the three of them had a big meal outside.

After returning home, Ms. Ren started unpacking her luggage again because she had a lot of luggage.

Xu Lin wouldn't get involved in these things and would let the two of them handle it themselves, but if they needed to move heavy objects, Xu Lin would still have to help.

Everything was settled around 8 p.m.

Xu Lin took a hot shower and then comfortably lounged on the living room sofa in a relaxed, reclining position.

Ms. Ren sat on a single sofa to the side.

At this moment, Ms. Ren picked up her phone.

Xu Lin noticed that the other person wanted to take his picture, "Let me fix my hair first!"

Ms. Ren: "Vanity!"

Xu Lin adjusted his hair. "How about I keep my head down and pretend to be deep-thinking?"

Ms. Ren: …

"Then you'd better pretend to be deep and profound!"

"Wait a minute!"

So Xu Lin struck a pose like a handsome internet celebrity, sitting there with his bangs down, quietly looking at his phone. Ms. Ren took a picture of most of his profile, but based on Xu Lin's features, you could still tell that he was a handsome man with both good bone structure and good skin.

"So handsome!"

Was my dad as handsome as I was when he was young?

"Your dad's a bastard! Don't mention him!"

As soon as Ms. Ren made a comment, Xu Lin knew that the two of them must have had another argument recently.

However, Ms. Ren then added, "Your dad was even more handsome than you when he was young!"

"real or fake?"

"Don't believe me? I'll show you the photos!"

As Ms. Ren spoke, she went back to her room to get a large suitcase.

Speaking of which, Xu Lin moved this box today; Ms. Ren only said that it contained a lot of photos.

Upon opening it, Xu Lin saw several thick photo albums inside.

Ms. Ren opened the oldest one.

Ren Yan said, "This started in 2003, when I had just met your father."

How did you meet him?

Xu Lin knew that his father had only attended a second-tier university, but that was more than 20 years ago. Now, universities have all been upgraded to "Double First-Class" universities.

His school is right across from mine.

Ren Yan won't say much about this matter, because at the time, Xu Lin's father was pursuing another girl, one of Ren Yan's classmates. Xu Cheng had heard that there was a very beautiful girl at the prestigious university across the street, whose name was something like "a prodigy" or something, and that no one dared to pursue her. Xu Cheng sneaked over to see what was going on and saw Ren Yan. He thought she was particularly beautiful and assumed that she was the girl in question, so he started pursuing her, but he ended up pursuing the wrong person.

Xu Lin glanced at his father's photo and said, "I don't think he's as handsome as me, Ms. Ren Yan. It's obvious that you're blind to beauty and think your man is handsome. Look at me, I'm much more handsome than that old man!"

"Get out of here, what do you know?" Ms. Ren glared at him.

"Mom, you were so beautiful when you were young, and you still are!"

Rong Xiyan leaned on Ms. Ren's shoulder, looking at the photo of Ms. Ren in her youthful days.

That's the beauty of photos; they can record many wonderful memories from the past, which you can look back on even when you're older.

Ms. Ren remarked with emotion, "My mother is getting old too."

Rong Xiyan hugged the other person and said, "You don't look old at all, Mom is still so beautiful!"

"What do you think, Xu Lin?" Rong Xiyan asked him.

Xu Lin said, "Actually, she's not old and faded yet; she's still a beauty!"

"You brat, you really don't know how to talk!"

Ms. Ren pinched Xu Lin's ear, and Xu Lin immediately laughed.

The photos continue.

Ren Yan has so many photos. This is the first time Xu Lin has seen so many photos of his father. Of course, there are also photos of his mother. Both of them are very good-looking, especially when they were young. They both looked very innocent and had the appearance of a perfect couple.

The first photo album is mostly filled with photos of the two of them, as well as photos of Ms. Ren with some of her close friends from her university days.

Ms. Ren still keeps in touch with these good friends, and they get together whenever they have time. Xu Lin also knows them.

In the second album, Xu Lin started appearing. This album mainly contained photos of Xu Lin when he was very young.

Before the age of five.

"Xu Lin was so cute when he was little!"

Rong Xiyan couldn't help but sigh.

Ms. Ren said, "Yes, he was quite cute and quiet when he was little, but he became naughty later."

Xu Lin glanced at his childhood photos, not wanting to look at them, feeling a little embarrassed. Meanwhile, Ms. Ren and Rong Xiyan were looking at them with great interest. There were eight photo albums in total, from the second to the eighth. Xu Lin's photos occupied a considerable portion of the albums, from when he was a baby to when he graduated from high school. There were countless photos of him here.

The mother and daughter finally finished flipping through all eight thick photo albums around 10 p.m.

Rong Xiyan was particularly engrossed in looking at the photos, because the album contained many pictures of Xu Lin from childhood to adulthood, which was the first time she had ever seen them.

Rong Xiyan continued flipping through the pages repeatedly.

She brought over a photo album and sat down next to Xu Lin.

"Xu Lin, you actually shaved your head back in junior high school!"

"What? Aren't you blown away by his handsomeness?"

"Pah, not handsome! Mom said you were naughty in junior high and actually dyed your hair like those trendy young guys outside!"

Rong Xiyan couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, "Then she dragged you to the hair salon and shaved your head bald!"

"If you bring this up again, I'll spank you."

"Come on, come on!"

Rong Xiyan even provoked him, kneeling on the sofa with her backside facing Xu Lin, looking like she was saying, "Go ahead and hit me."

Rong Xiyan dared to provoke Xu Lin because Ms. Ren was still there. If they were in the room, Xu Lin would have pulled down her pants.

"You little brat!"

Xu Lin ignored her.

However, Rong Xiyan continued to look through the photos, while Xu Lin accompanied her.

Xu Lin didn't want to watch, so Rong Xiyan kept pestering him.

Where is Ms. Ren?

Seeing the two of them bickering, I couldn't help but smile. This is the joy of having both a son and a daughter.

At this moment, Ms. Ren opened the law firm's group chat and sent in the photos she had taken of Xu Lin that evening.

"Mr. Xu, whom you've been waiting for, has arrived!"

Ms. Ren said, "Isn't my son handsome?"

When the photos of this handsome guy were released, the group chat was filled with surprised comments like "666!"

Today, the landlady said she saw Ms. Ren and her son, and commented in the group chat that Xu Lin was very handsome. Then people became curious about just how handsome he was and started tagging Ms. Ren.

Actually, Ms. Ren had posted Xu Lin's photos in the group before, but those recent photos were all from his senior year of high school.

Xu Lin has matured a lot since his senior year of high school, shedding some of his immaturity; in short, he's even more handsome now.

Therefore, the photos Ms. Ren posted tonight are very damaging.

"Isn't Sister Ren's son so handsome?"

"If he's this handsome from the side, what must his full-face view be like?"

"How many girls would be chasing after him at school?"

There was a lot of discussion in the group.

Ms. Ren said, "My son gets a lot of girls to take the initiative, but there are a lot of bad people around these days, so I hope he can find a reliable girlfriend."

Then, Ms. Ren called out to Xu Lin.

"what?"

Xu Lin looked over.

Ms. Ren: "This time, we're taking a front-facing photo!"

As they were talking, Ms. Ren finished taking a picture of Xu Lin, because Xu Lin's face was right in front of her.

Ms. Ren looked at the photo and was quite satisfied with it.

Then Ms. Ren posted the photo in the group chat.

Clearly, Ms. Ren has started posting pictures of her son again.

When people reach middle age, they are already at the age where they have to compete with their children.

Ms. Ren asked dozens of people in the group, "Isn't my son handsome?"

"So handsome!"

"I'm so envious of Sister Ren for having such a handsome son!"

"My son is three years old this year and is very cute. I hope he will be as handsome as Sister Ren's son when he grows up!"

People in the group all said that Xu Lin was really handsome, and no one could say anything polite; his looks were truly striking.

Xu Lin has sword-like eyebrows and phoenix eyes, with a profile that combines both masculinity and femininity. Xu Lin's face has a strong and masculine side, but it is not too strong, because he also has a feminine side, which perfectly balances his masculine aura. He has a stunning appearance that both men and women find amazing.

"People online probably don't know that Mr. Xu is so handsome!"

"Sister Ren's son is only eighteen years old. How bright his future will be!"

"Didn't Sister Ren's son recently release another script? It's been generating a lot of buzz lately. I saw on the internet that some investors are interested in investing in it. Is that true, Sister Ren?"

The group then asked Ms. Ren about Xu Lin's script.

Ms. Ren: "I haven't asked him about that yet, so I'm not sure."

At this moment, the landlady from earlier in the day came out and said, "I met Sister Ren's son today and chatted with him for about ten minutes. He seemed like a very nice person. Moreover, Sister Ren's son even bought her a house, Shengtian Yuge!"

"Shengtian Yuge, some of the houses there cost 40,000 to 50,000 yuan per square meter!"

"Is Sister Ren's son really that terrifying?"

"Sister Ren, how much does it cost to buy a house in Shengtian Yuge?"

Shengtian Yuge is a well-known residential complex in the provincial capital. Although it is not a place where the truly wealthy live, the people who live here are certainly not short of money.

Seeing the shocking messages in the group, Ms. Ren felt relieved.

“It’s about 17 million. My son has made money, and he wants me to stop renting and live in my own house here.”

Ms. Ren replied, and apart from a few wealthy people, such as the beautiful landlady from earlier in the day, everyone in the group was shocked again.

It was just normal conversation. Ms. Ren is very popular. Everyone knows she likes to show off her son. It's not fair to say that people are jealous of her, since she doesn't do anything else besides showing off her son.

Ms. Ren felt quite comfortable in the group chat tonight. In her middle age, her son has made a name for himself and become a true dragon among men. It seems that nothing could make her happier than this.
