At the age of 38, he went to college and his children were classmates.

Chapter 155, Director Lin, Your Son-in-Law Won an Award (Please Subscribe!)
It's only a little past six in the morning.

The morning rush hour hadn't started yet, and there weren't many cars on the road. What would normally be an hour's drive took Lin Moxuan only 40 minutes.

Park the car downstairs in the faculty and staff dormitory building.

Lin Moxuan stormed upstairs, but after processing his emotions on the way and with Chen Qingzhu's persuasion, he calmed down.

Director Lin's anger was somewhat less than when he heard Shen Qiushan's voice on the phone.

"Say it!"

"what happened!"

Upon arriving at the dormitory, Lin Moxuan sat on the sofa with a dark expression, scrutinizing Shen Qiushan and his daughter.

At this moment, Shen Qiushan and Lin Xiamo stood obediently opposite Lin Moxuan, just like two children who had made a mistake.

"I drank too much at my birthday party last night."

“My brother-in-law brought me back. He was worried that something might happen to me, so he didn’t leave.”

"But he drank too much and fell asleep without realizing it."

"And then there was your phone call this morning..."

Lin Xiamo briefly recounted what had happened.

In fact, before Lin Moxuan arrived, she and Shen Qiushan had already exchanged their "statements," and no matter who brought up what happened last night, they would give the same story.

"That's it?"

Lin Moxuan stared at Shen Qiushan with wide eyes: "You speak!"

"Dad, that's exactly what Momo said."

“She threw up last night. I was worried that she was sleeping too soundly and that it would be dangerous if she threw up again, so I kept her here.”

"I fell asleep without even taking off my clothes!"

Shen Qiushan said in a very serious tone.

"You really didn't take it off?"

Lin Moxuan questioned him with a dark expression.

"You really didn't take it off!"

Shen Qiushan remained confident, not mentioning at all that his wolf claw had activated the Beidou navigation system while he was half-asleep.

"I'll just say it!"

“Qiu Shan is a sensible child. What could possibly happen between him and Mo Mo?”

Chen Qingzhu chimed in, naturally not wanting the hard-won thaw in the relationship between father-in-law and son-in-law to plummet back to rock bottom.

Lin Moxuan remained silent, only frowning as he silently observed the two of them.

Having spent his entire life within the system, his ability to judge people is absolutely first-rate. He can basically see through anyone who is telling the truth and who is lying!
However, his keen eye is less effective when used on his own family members, as he unconsciously applies his subjective emotions.

She had absolutely no trust in Shen Qiushan, the "yellow-haired man" who had once abducted one of her daughters.

With his daughter's looks and figure, how could Shen Qiushan not be tempted at all?

"You go to class first!"

After a long silence, Lin Moxuan decided to send Shen Qiushan away first and interrogate his daughter alone.

"Okay, I'll be going now."

"Today is the first official day of classes after starting school!"

Shen Qiushan nodded repeatedly; the atmosphere was too oppressive, and he couldn't wait to slip away.

"Mom, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? You can go to the cafeteria for breakfast later. The school breakfast is quite healthy."

Before leaving, Shen Qiushan said something to Chen Qingzhu.

This mother-in-law clearly prefers him a little more, and she didn't "turn her back" on him like Lin Moxuan did because of this little incident!
He should try to win over as many forces as possible. With more "allies," he would no longer be afraid of Lin Moxuan, this "evil force."

From the Lin family's perspective, Shen Qiushan's strategy can actually be considered a success.

Currently, my sister-in-law Lin Jiayu can be considered one of our own, and my mother-in-law Chen Qingzhu can barely be considered half of our own.

Lin Xiamo is his "die-hard ally"!
There is only one "hostile force" – Lin Moxuan.

In other words, the current ratio is 2.5:1.5!

Seeing that Shen Qiushan was still thinking about not having eaten breakfast, Chen Qingzhu naturally felt very warm. She nodded with a smile, and then glared at Lin Moxuan as if to say: Look at Qiushan, and then look at you!
Lin Moxuan pretended not to see anything, secretly planning how to begin his "interrogation" of his daughter.

"Dad, there's something I forgot to give you."

As soon as Shen Qiushan stepped out of the room, he immediately opened the door a little more and poked his head out to speak.

Lin Moxuan was initially too lazy to pay attention to Shen Qiushan, but having spent his entire life working within the system, he immediately realized the importance of this matter.

Shen Qiushan only mentioned having something for me after he left the house, instead of in front of my wife and daughter, which clearly meant he didn't want them to know.

There is only one secret between the father-in-law and son-in-law that no one else knows!
After a moment's hesitation, Lin Moxuan immediately stood up from the sofa and walked towards the door, pretending to still be angry, saying, "I want to see what tricks you're up to!"

As he spoke, Lin Moxuan walked directly out of the room and into the corridor.

Shen Qiushan didn't say much, and directly handed the four "little blue bottles" to Lin Moxuan, then whispered, "Dad, Momo and I really have nothing going on."

Lin Moxuan snorted and casually stuffed the small blue bottle into his pocket.

"Dad, you have to believe me!"

Shen Qiushan then magically produced four small blue bottles and stuffed them into Lin Moxuan's hand.

"Oh, I see!"

Lin Moxuan nodded slightly, his expression finally softening somewhat.

What did the son-in-law say?
She's quite sensible; she knows to give herself the good things!

Having received the benefits, Lin Moxuan's anger subsided considerably, but the interrogation process was still necessary.

Back in his room, his face tightened again: "Momo, what exactly happened between you and Shen Qiushan?"

"Didn't I just say that?"

"There's no need to lie about something like this!"

Lin Xiamo replied calmly.

"This isn't the time to ask you about last night."

"Instead, they asked about your relationship with Shen Qiushan. Jia Yu didn't go to your birthday party, so why would he?"

On the way here, Lin Moxuan had already called his youngest daughter, Lin Jiayu, but she had no idea about her sister's birthday party.

Lin Moxuan didn't even attend his sister's birthday party, but Shen Qiushan, an "outsider," did. Lin Moxuan naturally didn't believe there was no reason behind this.

Lin Moxuan's line of thinking was clearly correct, and Lin Xiamo was immediately stumped by the question.

This was indeed a difficult question to answer, but Lin Xiamo had been working in the system for several years and her thinking changed very quickly. After a brief moment of surprise, she immediately explained, "It's not appropriate for Jia Yu, a student, to attend a birthday party, especially since the party goes on very late and she can't skip her dorm."

Lin Xiamo's explanation seemed reasonable, but her hesitation just now had confirmed Lin Moxuan's guess.

Even if nothing happened between the two last night, the relationship between their "second cabbage" and Shen Qiushan has most likely changed!

Therefore, the effectiveness of the small blue bottles that Shen Qiushan gave away was naturally greatly reduced.

Lin Moxuan frowned and angrily cursed, "What's so good about that kid Shen Qiushan!"

"I'm telling you, Momo, as long as I'm alive, I will never let him harm my daughter again!"

"Your Aunt Wang has introduced you to another young man. You'd better go home for a blind date tonight!!"

Without waiting for Lin Xiamo's response, Lin Moxuan turned and left.

"MoMo, your dad is doing this for your own good."

"Remember to come home tonight."

Chen Qingzhu patted her daughter's arm and quickly went to catch up with her husband.

"Mom, slow down!"

Lin Xiamo gave a rather helpless remark.

Her mind was still replaying the probing question her father, Lin Moxuan, had just posed: What exactly was going on between her and Shen Qiushan?
Before last night, the "crossing of the line" in their relationship remained at the ideological level. But now, it has progressed from the ideological level to the physical level!

Although there was no real "qualitative change" last night, the two of them were still sleeping in the same bed, and Shen Qiushan had taken off his clothes while he was "naked".

Last night, in the middle of the night, she seemed to feel a hand exploring her chest while she was asleep.

Lin Xiamo initially thought it was a dream, but now, after reviewing it, she feels that it might not have been a dream at all.
So, Shen Qiushan lied!

He clearly got the better deal!
And verifying your guess is actually quite simple.

Look at the fingerprints!
First, collect fingerprints from your own body, then compare them with Shen Qiushan's fingerprints.

Lin Xiamo is a graduate student from Sanjiang University, so it wouldn't be difficult for her to have her fingerprints taken!

snort!
You didn't touch it, right?

I want to see if it's true or false!

The municipal government compound.

Lin Moxuan got out of the car with a dark expression after parking it.

On the way, he became angrier and angrier as he thought about it.

It wasn't enough that he sacrificed one daughter; now his second daughter is about to be sacrificed as well!
Did Shen Qiushan save our whole family's lives in his past life?
So you're just going to take advantage of our family, huh?

Lin Moxuan cursed inwardly, and just then, a man of similar age caught up from behind: "Old Lin, congratulations!"

"Congratulations?"

"What happy event could I possibly have!"

Lin Moxuan looked at the other person with a suspicious expression.

This man is Yu Qifeng, the director of the Cultural Bureau. The two have known each other for decades and can be considered friends.

"Your son-in-law won an award!"

The Nebula Award!

"That's amazing!!"

Yu Qifeng said with a broad smile.

"son in law?"

"What son-in-law!"

Lin Moxuan gets a headache just hearing the word "son-in-law".

"Shen Qiushan!"

"Isn't he your son-in-law?"

Yu Qifeng replied.

"Ah."

When Lin Moxuan heard Yu Qifeng mention his son-in-law, Shen Qiushan's image involuntarily came to mind, but now he didn't want to mention Shen Qiushan at all.

It makes me depressed just thinking about it!
What kind of son-in-law is this!
They're clearly here to collect a debt!

What award did he win?

Lin Moxuan asked, frowning.

"The Nebula Award!"

"The most influential science fiction award in the world!"

"This year's Nebula Awards ceremony was held here at 2 a.m. in the United States!"

"Your son-in-law won two Nebula Awards: Best Science Fiction Novel and Best New Science Fiction Author!"

"This directly fills a gap in my country's record for this award."

Yu Qifeng spoke with great enthusiasm; anyone who didn't know better would think he had won an award.

"Nebula Award?"

"Is it really as amazing as you say?"

Lin Moxuan wasn't very familiar with foreign literary awards, and he was a little confused by Qi Feng's flowery description.

"Of course it's awesome!"

"To put it simply, the Nebula Award is the highest award in the field of science fiction!"

"In the past, the awards were monopolized by foreign writers; no writer from our country has ever won any awards!"

"In other words, your son-in-law single-handedly elevated Chinese science fiction to an unprecedented level!"

"Moreover, foreigners value this award a lot. Your son-in-law is going to be rich this time. If nothing unexpected happens, that award-winning novel will definitely be a bestseller!!"

Yu Qifeng spoke eloquently.

Shen Qiushan was genuinely happy to receive the award.

Firstly, this truly brings glory to the country!
Secondly, Shen Qiushan is, after all, a writer from Sanjiang. If he can win the Xingyun Award, the cultural system of Sanjiang City can naturally benefit as well.

On a larger scale, as long as the aftermath of Shen Qiushan's award is handled properly, it can be considered Yu Qifeng's "achievement"!
Therefore, after learning this news, he was already planning his next move.

"its not right!"

"Could it be someone with the same name?"

After hearing Yu Qifeng's explanation, Lin Moxuan was even more confused. If it was just a frivolous award, that would be one thing, but it might have been awarded randomly.

According to Yu Qifeng, this is an internationally renowned award that cannot be given out casually.

"His book was an online novel, and its content had nothing to do with science fiction at all. How did it win an award?"

Lin Moxuan voiced the question that had been bothering him.

That's why he thinks it's unlikely.

"It's not that online novel."

Yu Qifeng waved his hand and said, "The winning work is called 'The Three-Body Civilization'!"

"I haven't seen the book yet, but the title is completely unrelated to the online novel he wrote!"

"The Three-Body Problem?"

Lin Moxuan thought for a moment, then said decisively, "That can't be him. I've never heard him mention writing such a book!"

"There must be a mistake!"

Lin Moxuan's mindset was quite complicated at this moment. He hoped that Shen Qiushan would really win the award, but he also didn't want Shen Qiushan to shine too brightly.

He has already earned tens of millions in royalties from just one relatively well-known online novel, and there's even a trend of him taking his daughter, Lin Xiamo, away. If he were to write another book that wins an international award, wouldn't the chances of him taking away his second daughter even greater?
"Are you sure there's a mistake? Why don't you just call and ask?"

Yu Qifeng received firsthand information from a reliable source, so he was very certain of it.

But since Lin Moxuan doesn't believe it, let him verify it himself.

After hearing Yu Qifeng's words, Lin Moxuan immediately took out his phone. He didn't call Shen Qiushan directly, but instead called his daughter Lin Xiamo.

"Old Lin, take your time asking questions. I'm going to go assign tasks now!"

Seeing Lin Moxuan take out his phone, Yu Qifeng called out and strode into the city government building.

"MoMo, I have a question for you."

Has Shen Qiushan written a new book recently?

As soon as the call connected, Lin Moxuan asked.

"I wrote a book, but it wasn't published online."

What is the title of the book?

"It seems to be 'The Three-Body Problem'."

Lin Moxuan was completely dumbfounded after hearing the book title his daughter mentioned.

His first thought was: It's over, the second cabbage is really going to be lost!
