Financial freedom starts with cracked apps.

After leaving Xu Lei's building, Lin Shen drove straight to Lin Ping's house.

Upon arrival, he parked his car on the side of the road where there were surveillance cameras.

This is also something Lin Shen has been complaining about a lot.

A Maybach S680 worth over four million yuan doesn't even have a Sentry Mode!
At least pay me to activate it!

Of course, Lin Shen also knew that almost all gasoline-powered cars did not have this feature; only electric cars had it.

"I might as well buy another tram when I have some free time."

Lin Shen muttered to himself as he went upstairs empty-handed and knocked on the door of room 1203.

However, it was An'an who responded.

Who are you?!

“Me, your brother Lin Shen.”

Hearing An An's sweet and lovely voice, Lin Shen's heart gradually softened.

"Wait a moment, I'll go and call my mom to open the door for you."

Although she could hear Lin Shen's voice, An An still followed the instructions Lin Ping had given her.

Never open the door yourself.

You shouldn't open the door when you're home alone; if there are other adults at home, then let them open the door.

So An An knocked on the bedroom door.

"Mom, Brother Lin Shen is here!"

Brother Lin Shen?

Upon hearing this address, Zhao Ya was taken aback.

Could it be the neighbor's child coming to play with An'an?
"Oh, here it comes."

After calling out, Lin Ping blushed and whispered to Zhao Ya.

"Mom, I'm going to open the door for my friend."

"it is good."

After leaving the bedroom, Lin Ping ran to the door and opened it for Lin Shen. She then whispered a reminder, afraid that Lin Shen might do something intimate.

"Mr. Lin, you've arrived. There are other people at home."

other people?
Lin Shen raised an eyebrow, looked past Lin Ping and behind her, and saw Zhao Ya coming out of the bedroom with her.

Who is she?
"Come in first."

Lin Ping found Lin Shen a pair of slippers, helped him change into them, and then introduced them to her mother.

"Mom, his name is Lin Shen, he's my boss."

"Mr. Lin, she is my mother, Zhao Ya."

Lin Ping's mother?
Lin Shen was somewhat taken aback, while Zhao Ya was even more shocked when she saw him.

ha?
You're saying this young man in front of you is actually the boss?

impossible!

In Zhao Ya's mind, the head of the company should be a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties.

Mature and composed, never panicking in the face of adversity.

This is the only way to handle company affairs properly.

So he became the company's CEO at such a young age?

Zhao Ya was deeply shocked and quickly went over to offer her hand.

"Hello, Mr. Lin, I am Lin Ping's mother. Thank you for taking care of my daughter, Lin Ping."

"You're welcome."

Lin Shen smiled slightly, his expression gentle.

"You can just call me Xiao Shen. Please forgive me for not bringing much with me during this unexpected visit."

"Oh, no need to bring it, it would be too embarrassing."

Zhao Ya covered her mouth and smiled, suddenly feeling a bit of goodwill towards Lin Shen, this junior.

What a polite child!

No wonder he became the head of the company; his ability is evident just from his interpersonal skills.

Not bad!

And he's also very handsome!
He was tall and imposing, with a commanding presence and a great deal of spirit and charisma.

Zhao Ya was very pleased and quickly invited Lin Shen into the restaurant.

"I was wondering why Ah Ping made so many dishes. It turns out it's because Xiao Shen is coming. Please sit down, I'll get you some rice."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

Lin Shen gladly accepted Zhao Ya's offer and watched her lead Lin Ping into the kitchen.

boom--!
After the kitchen door closed, Zhao Ya immediately took Lin Ping's hand and asked quietly.

"Why did you invite your boss to your home for dinner?"

"Can't you?"

Lin Ping could also see that Zhao Ya liked Lin Shen. While her tense heart breathed a sigh of relief, she also felt a strong sense of sweetness and joy.

“He usually takes good care of me at work, so it’s not a big deal for me to treat him to a meal.”

"Why don't you just invite him out to dinner? Why do you have to bring him home? And..."

Zhao Ya looked at Lin Ping's outfit and suddenly realized something.

She wasn't the kind of parent who was particularly conservative; she had also learned about the messy things about relationships between modern men and women through short videos.

Clearly, Lin Ping's outfit was intentional!

She dressed so provocatively and then invited her boss to her home for dinner.

Isn't this blatant seduction?
Now Zhao Ya understood why her daughter dressed so femininely.

She clearly had inappropriate thoughts about Lin Shen.

"Aping."

Zhao Ya pulled Lin Ping in front of her and questioned her in a low voice.

"Tell your mother the truth, do you like Xiao Shen?"

"Ah this..."

Lin Ping's pretty face flushed red, and she lowered her head shyly, stammering and unable to speak.

Zhao Ya knew her daughter very well, and upon seeing her daughter's awkward demeanor, she immediately understood her daughter's ulterior motives.

This made her feel inexplicably worried, and she held Lin Ping's hand tightly.

"You just got divorced! I thought you hadn't gotten over your last relationship, so I came here to help take care of An'an and comfort you. Turns out you've fallen for another man?"

"You wouldn't have... had sex with him before you were even divorced..."

"no!"

Lin Ping quickly denied it.

"My feelings for Mr. Lin aren't what you imagine! I'm just very grateful to him, after all, he took good care of me and An'an..."

"That means his intentions aren't pure either."

Zhao Ya gave a soft snort, afraid that her daughter might suffer some injustice.

Why are you, a young man in your twenties, being so considerate to a divorced single mother in her thirties?
With Lin Shen's handsome looks and tall stature, what young girl couldn't he find?

Why did they have to target Ah Ping?

That's obviously what he's thinking about!

And it's definitely just a fling; he won't take this relationship seriously.

Therefore, Zhao Ya's goodwill towards Lin Shen immediately diminished by more than half, and she even thought he was the kind of rich second-generation who liked lavish lifestyles.

He's not a decent person!

Seeing that her mother seemed to have a problem with Lin Shen, Lin Ping quickly said.

"Mom, actually Mr. Lin is really good to me and An'an. He not only gave me a job, but also helped me rent this apartment!"

Ok?
Did Lin Shen rent this house?

Before Zhao Ya could recover from her surprise, Lin Ping continued to recount all the good things Lin Shen had done for her. "Yes, and he even bought me a car worth over 200,000 yuan because he saw that it was inconvenient for me to pick up and drop off An'an on my electric scooter."

what?
Did I buy you a car?

This action was somewhat unexpected by Zhao Ya.

She believes that only when two people confirm their marriage relationship will the other party give such an extremely expensive gift as a car.

So, they gave you a car just because they saw you picking up and dropping off your child?

Is he serious about his daughter?

Zhao Ya had to reconsider the matter.

While giving a gift doesn't necessarily mean a guy likes a girl, it might not be the case if it's a car worth over 200,000 yuan!
If the other party escapes, the cost will be too high.

Unless Xiao Shen has complete trust and affection for A Ping, that's why he treats her so well.

Seeing her mother deep in thought, Lin Ping reached out and took Zhao Ya's arm, adding a few more points about Lin Shen's actions, seemingly trying to help her little lover win over her mother's heart.

"And he's not only good to me, he's even better to An'an! He bought 50% of the clothes in my wardrobe for An'an, and he bought all the toys too. An'an loves him so much, that's why she calls him Brother Lin Shen."

"Is it……"

Zhao Ya's gaze gradually softened.

If what Ah Ping said is true, then it proves that Lin Shen really treats his daughter well.

He wouldn't put so much effort into something just for fun, since he also has his own career to pursue.

"Xiao Shen is your benefactor."

Zhao Ya smiled gently.

"You have to repay him properly. We can't owe him too many favors, you know?"

"Okay, Mom."

Lin Ping stuck out her tongue cutely like a little girl, her pretty face becoming even more beautiful, and she muttered to herself.

Mom, your daughter has given herself to her, isn't that enough to repay her kindness?
If that's not enough, then your daughter will have no choice but to obey him in bed...

But I think I'm already in this state, right?
Lin Ping quickly patted her burning cheeks and took a deep breath to calm herself down.

She had just been worried that her mother might be hostile towards Lin Shen, but now it seems that her explanation had helped her mother clear up her misunderstanding of Lin Shen.

It seems that Mom has come to approve of Mr. Lin!

"Dinner's ready."

Lin Ping brought the food to the table, her eyes filled with tenderness as she looked at Lin Shen.

"Mr. Lin, you must be hungry. Please eat first."

"It's okay. I'll wait for you."

While Zhao Ya and Lin Ping were talking in the kitchen, Lin Shen and An An had a very lively chat.

Being with these adorable and playful children, Lin Shen felt all the fatigue from a day's work disappear.

Having an obedient and well-behaved child is really great!
"sit down."

After Zhao Ya came out, she took the initiative to sit next to An An and took over Lin Ping's responsibility of feeding her granddaughter.

Lin Ping could only "reluctantly" sit next to Lin Shen, and her sexy outfit was fully appreciated by Lin Shen.

It seems she was prepared!
Unfortunately, an unexpected accident occurred.

Lin Shen smiled knowingly, and Zhao Ya politely inquired about his situation.

She learned all her information about Lin Shen from her daughter.

Now Zhao Ya plans to find out Lin Shen's opinion herself, to see if he is indeed a good man as her daughter said.

"Xiao Shen, I heard from A Ping that you hired her as the company's general manager?"

Zhao Ya said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Won't this affect your company's performance? After all, Ping can't do anything and is quite clumsy. I'm afraid she'll mess up such an important position for you."

"mom!"

Although she knew her mother was trying to express her politeness in this way, Lin Ping still felt some resentment.

However, Lin Shen laughed it off.

"No, our company conducts thorough investigations and interviews before hiring, and we would never recruit employees through back channels or other means."

“After my thorough investigation, I believe that Lin Ping is capable of handling the work I have assigned to her, so you can rest assured that she can do her job well.”

"That's good."

Zhao Ya feigned a sigh of relief before continuing to inquire about Lin Shen's situation.

This includes his family, life experiences, and education.

Ultimately, the focus shifted to his romantic history.

"You're so handsome, you must have a girlfriend, right?"

"Have."

Lin Shen nodded in agreement, which Zhao Ya really didn't expect.

and many more!

Do you have a girlfriend?
Then why do you come to your subordinate's house for dinner alone?
Wouldn't this seem a bit odd?

Or……

Zhao Ya fixed her gaze on Lin Ping, who was eating with her head down and taking small bites, her eyes narrowing slightly.

Inviting a handsome boss with a girlfriend to his home for dinner, dressed in such a strange way—his intentions are obvious!

"Aping."

Zhao Ya is the kind of person who can't keep things to herself. Once she has something on her mind, she will think about resolving it as soon as possible instead of dragging it out.

"Come with me for a moment."

"Oh."

Lin Ping knew exactly what her mother was going to say, but she pretended not to understand and followed her into the bedroom, locking the door behind her.

"Mom, I'm eating right now. What do you want?"

"Xiao Shen said he has a girlfriend, what's going on?"

"That's all there is to it... ouch!"

Lin Ping muttered something under her breath, but Zhao Ya immediately grabbed her ear and questioned her.

"You knew he had a girlfriend, yet you still invited him over for dinner alone? And you even dressed so indecently? Do you have some ulterior motive towards him?"

"What improper thoughts could I possibly have..."

Seeing that Lin Ping was so stubborn that she still wouldn't admit it, Zhao Ya angrily tapped her forehead.

"Are you still trying to deny it? I'm your mother! Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"

"Yes, it's what you think!"

Seeing that she could no longer hide the truth, Lin Ping decided to go all out and confront her mother.

"So what if I want to seduce President Lin?"

"you!"

Zhao Ya was so angry that she reached out to hit Lin Ping.

However, upon seeing her pitiful appearance as she tightly covered her cheeks, her outstretched hand froze in mid-air, eventually clenching into a fist and hanging limply at her side, as she angrily and urgently scolded her.

"Lin Ping! Have you lost your mind? Xiao Shen has a girlfriend! A girlfriend! Didn't you hear me? What are you doing? Being a mistress? This is immoral! Aren't you going to be hated and despised?"

"You caught Xiao Shen cheating, yet you seduced another man into cheating on you? Aren't you disgracing the Lin family!"

"If word gets out, where will I put my face? How am I supposed to face the neighbors and all your relatives?"

Why should I care what others say? Isn't it enough that I'm happy?

Lin Ping said stubbornly, her slightly trembling voice seemingly tinged with grievance.

"Does adhering to morality guarantee a good life? Shen Mingchuan still cheated on me! Am I wrong?"

"I've figured it out now. As long as An'an and I are happy, everything else doesn't matter!"

"Whether others call me a mistress or accuse me of ruining other people's relationships, none of that matters!"

"President Lin is good to me, takes care of me, and gives me unprecedented tenderness and warmth. He even gave An'an a comfortable life, moved my mother and me from our dilapidated 30-square-meter house to this new house, and even bought us clothes, jewelry, toys and daily necessities."

"That's why I'm willing to be his mistress! His lover!" (End of Chapter)
