Financial freedom starts with cracked apps.

Lin Ping became more and more excited as she spoke, and even her beautiful eyes welled up with tears.

She has indeed suffered a lot of grievances during this period.

The marriage was not smooth, and Shen Mingchuan even schemed against her before the divorce, almost depriving An'an of the last bit of financial security she could provide.

If it weren't for Lin Shen, let alone living such a wealthy life, the two of them might even be sleeping on the streets.

After all, Lin Ping is getting old, and it would be difficult for her to find a proper job.

As a result, Lin Shen's appearance pulled her back from the edge of the cliff, and even gave her a whole fragrant garden.

This deeply moved Lin Ping.

Therefore, even when faced with her mother's lack of understanding, she still argued her case and wanted to stay by Lin Shen's side.

She would even bear the stigma of being a mistress, but she had no regrets!
"..."

Looking at Lin Ping's stubborn and aggrieved appearance, Zhao Ya felt a sudden, inexplicable pang in her heart.

Although Ah Ping's cooking may be a little inappropriate, she is still my own daughter!

Thinking of this, Zhao Ya, who was originally angry, gradually calmed down. She reached out and pulled Lin Ping into her arms, gently stroking her back and hair, her words filled with a mother's tenderness.

“Ah Ping, I know you suffered a lot of grievances in your last marriage, but you can’t take those grievances out on other people’s feelings, can you?”

"Xiao Shen said he has a girlfriend, and you're doing this kind of thing..."

"What's the matter?"

Lin Ping appears to be gentle, virtuous, obedient, and sensible, but when it comes to pursuing her goals, she is more stubborn than anyone else.

"Why is Mr. Lin so good to me even though he has a girlfriend? Doesn't he just want me to be his mistress?"

!! ?
These words suddenly awakened Zhao Ya, leaving him astonished.

Yes!

Although it's wrong for his daughter to seduce Lin Shen, is he completely innocent?

You already have a girlfriend, why are you still so nice to other women?

Isn't it obvious that their motives are impure?
"I knew it, Xiao Shen really did approach you with a purpose."

Zhao Ya gave a soft snort.

“How could a rich second-generation like him, who is both handsome and wealthy, be faithful in a relationship? Isn’t a man like him just like Shen Mingchuan? Aping, you need to think it over again. You can’t repeat the same mistake.”

"No, Mom, my relationship with Lin Shen is different."

Lin Ping stopped crying and started laughing.

"Our relationship was already the most immoral one, so how could it possibly get any worse?"

"Moreover, there's a reason why Mr. Lin is a womanizer. He went through a similar relationship to mine, being betrayed by his girlfriend before meeting this one."

"Shouldn't he be even more devoted to his current partner?"

Zhao Ya asked, puzzled.

"If I've gotten wet in the rain, I can't just tear someone else's umbrella too."

"Mom, actually Mr. Lin is very good to his girlfriend."

Lin Ping quickly tried to explain for Lin Shen.

"The company I work for now is called Shennan, which he and his girlfriend started together. They have a very good relationship."

"Then Mom doesn't quite understand."

Zhao Ya simply couldn't understand the way young people think about relationships these days.

On one hand, people say that Lin Shen and his girlfriend have a good relationship, while on the other hand, people say that he is a womanizer and cheats on his girlfriend.

Isn't that contradictory?
Seeing her mother's bewildered look, Lin Ping quickly took her hand.

"Mom, don't overthink it. Just know that your daughter is working hard for her and her daughter's happiness!"

"..."

Zhao Ya remained silent for a long time before finally sighing softly and tapping Lin Ping's forehead again with a hint of disappointment.

However, this time, there was very little anger in her behavior; it was mostly a mother's doting affection for her daughter.

"I can't stand you! If Xiao Shen's girlfriend comes knocking on your door and things get out, I won't protect you!"

"Hey, don't worry."

Seeing that Zhao Ya was showing signs of relenting, Lin Ping looked at her expectantly.

"Mom, do you agree with what I did?"

I disagree.

Zhao Ya said mercilessly, which instantly dampened Lin Ping's initial joy.

However, she then sighed softly.

"Of course I don't object. After all, you're my daughter, and you're all grown up now. As an adult, you should have your own choices and judgments."

"But I have a request: your affair with Lin Shen can't be exposed back in our hometown, or you'll make your mother lose all face!"

"Of course."

Lin Ping immediately nodded in agreement.

"I only go back home once a year, how could my hometown possibly know anything about me?"

Aren't you coming back for National Day?

Zhao Ya raised an eyebrow and held onto Lin Ping's hand tightly.

"Mom came this time because she wanted to take you home for the National Day holiday. How long has it been since you went back to your hometown?"

"After this divorce, you need to come back and explain the situation to our relatives, otherwise Shen Mingchuan's mother will keep spreading rumors in our hometown!"

"Okay, I need to ask Mr. Lin about the arrangements."

Seeing that her daughter had to follow Lin Shen's instructions in everything, Zhao Ya was furious and couldn't help but complain.

"Ah Ping, are you my daughter or Xiao Shen's daughter? I always feel like you like him a little too much? Why do you always listen to him?"

"Well..."

Lin Ping blushed slightly, too embarrassed to reveal the true nature of her relationship with Lin Shen.

This was only a superficial mention of how she had seduced President Lin.

If she were to openly admit that she was being kept by President Lin, wouldn't that make her mother so angry that she would be hospitalized?
Anyway, Lin Ping didn't dare to say that, so she could only slowly test her mother's bottom line.

Let's see when she's ready to accept it.

Seeing that Lin Ping was stammering and not giving an explanation, Zhao Ya continued to press for an explanation.

"Then let me ask you, does Xiao Shen know about your feelings for him?"

"He has such high emotional intelligence, he should know that, right?"

Lin Ping pretended to be unsure, which made Zhao Ya breathe a sigh of relief, but she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

"I really don't understand. With Xiao Shen's status and position, what kind of young and beautiful girl couldn't he find? Why would he choose a divorced single mother like you with a child?"

What did he see in you?

"Mom! Please don't speak so negatively about your daughter!"

Lin Ping suddenly felt a little resentful. Only in front of her mother would she show such a girlish and coquettish demeanor.

She then spun around on the spot, showing off her graceful figure, and patted her soft cheeks.

"Mom, do you think your daughter is ugly?"

"Um……"

To be honest, Zhao Ya was very confident in Lin Ping's appearance.

After all, Lin Ping had been praised for her beauty by many people since she was a child, which was something Zhao Ya was extremely proud of.

But Lin Shen's handsomeness surprised her even more.

Because Zhao Ya had never seen such a handsome boy before; she certainly wouldn't find one in a small county town.

You'd probably only meet someone like Lin Shen on the set of a TV drama, where even the leading men are comparable to him.

Zhao Ya even felt that, with Lin Shen's temperament and eloquence, most male actors couldn't compare to him!
In addition, handsome men are scarcer than beautiful women, so these exceptionally handsome men are probably the object of many women's fierce competition.

Even though Zhao Ya had great confidence in her daughter, she never expected that her daughter would get involved with such a handsome young rich second-generation.

If Lin Shen's family comes knocking on the door, or even blames her daughter for ruining Lin Shen's relationship with his girlfriend, then she has no way to cover for A Ping!

The other party is probably a business tycoon, while I'm just an ordinary family from a small county. It's a complete inequality!
Even being lovers feels like a step up for me...

Zhao Ya suddenly understood what her daughter was thinking.

In one's lifetime, one probably only has one chance to meet their destined partner.

If you miss out on a guy as good as Lin Shen, it might be a lifelong mistake.

Zhao Ya had figured things out a little better, and gently patted Lin Ping's head.

"What you do is your business, Mom doesn't care. Mom just hopes you can be happy and joyful, and that will satisfy Mom."

"I know."

Lin Ping was moved as she threw herself into Zhao Ya's arms.

"Thank you, Mom, for understanding me."

"Okay, let's go out to eat."

Zhao Ya smiled slightly.

"I bet Lin Shen is getting impatient waiting outside."

"correct."

Lin Ping and Zhao Ya quickly left the bedroom.

To be honest, Lin Shen wasn't in a hurry at all; in fact, he wanted the mother and daughter to chat a little longer.

Because the house is so small, the soundproofing isn't very good.

In addition, Lin Ping was initially a little agitated, which resulted in her speaking loudly.

Therefore, Lin Shen heard her conversation with his mother very clearly.

After seeing the two of them come out, he coughed awkwardly, pretending that he hadn't heard anything, and continued chatting with An'an.

Lin Ping responded with deep apology.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, my conversation with my mother went a little too deep."

"fine."

Lin Shen smiled slightly and invited the mother and daughter to sit down and eat, as if he were the owner of the house.

That's certainly true, since he paid for it to be rented.

After the business was mostly settled, dinner gradually came to an end amidst the casual conversation of the group.

"I have work to do, so I'll head back now."

After dinner, Lin Shen didn't linger and immediately got up to say goodbye.

After all, he didn't want to disturb Lin Ping and her mother.

When the mother and daughter meet, they will definitely have a lot to talk about, things that I, as an outsider, shouldn't listen to.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ping quickly got up and went to the bedroom to get a trench coat to put on.

"Mr. Lin, let me see you off."

"convenient?"

Lin Shen glanced at Zhao Ya, who gave him a knowing, kind smile.

"Let Aping see you off. After all, you are Aping's honored guest. How can we let an honored guest leave so easily?"

"I'll take care of An'an and clear the table at home, you guys go ahead."

"Ah."

With her mother's permission, Lin Ping squatted down and patted An'an's head.

"Mommy is going to see Lin Shen off. You stay home and be a good girl and listen to Grandma, okay?"

"I see."

An An smiled sweetly and waved goodbye to Lin Shen.

Goodbye, Brother Lin Shen! I'll miss you!

"Me too."

Lin Shen smiled and nodded in response, then put his hands in his pockets and left first.

Seeing this, Lin Ping quickly changed out of her slippers and into her high heels, which clattered as she followed Lin Shen's footsteps.

"Mr. Lin."

The two entered the elevator. Lin Ping seemed to want to say something to break the silence, but Lin Shen beat her to it.

“I heard everything you and your mother were talking about.”

what?
Lin Ping was stunned for a moment, her face flushed red instantly, and she felt extremely ashamed.

She was just worried that her voice was too loud and that Lin Shen might hear it.

As a result, the more you worry about something, the more likely it is to happen.

"So you heard everything clearly..."

Lin Ping muttered softly, unsure how to continue the conversation.

However, Lin Shen, with his high emotional intelligence, was still good at responding.

"Your mother is just worried about you. She doesn't know the real situation between us and can only judge based on what she has seen. Don't argue with her too much and try to understand the feelings of your elders."

"The older generation has very traditional ideas, and besides, what we're doing is indeed a bit immoral, so I should try to back down a bit."

"Ah."

Faced with Lin Shen's lecture, Lin Ping couldn't muster any resentment; she simply pulled her trench coat tightly around herself.

"Of course, I am also very grateful that you defended me."

Lin Shen reached out and gently stroked Lin Ping's slightly flushed cheeks, speaking softly.

"Being my mistress must be a lot of pressure, right?"

"Not big."

Lin Ping held Lin Shen's hand, like a kitten, and nuzzled his palm with her cheek. Then she raised her misty, beautiful eyes and looked at him affectionately.

“I was prepared for this before I became your lover, but I don’t regret it because I know you are really good to me.”

"Happiness is usually not smooth sailing. If I can't even handle the pressure of being criticized, I won't take the initiative to contact you."

"Ah."

Lin Shen stroked Lin Ping's delicate and soft red lips with his thumb, and she obediently bit Lin Shen's thumb, letting him play with her little mouth and her protruding tongue.

This is a common way the two flirt.

Lin Ping's inner restlessness and passion were gradually stirred by Lin Shen, and the mist in her beautiful eyes became thicker, and even an unnatural blush appeared on her cheeks.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly romantic, a "ding" sound indicated that the elevator had arrived at the first floor.

"That's enough for now, you can go upstairs."

Lin Shen smiled and pinched Lin Ping's cheek before turning and leaving the elevator.

Before she had taken more than a few steps, she felt a delicate, soft body embrace her from behind.

"Don't go!"

Lin Ping was really looking forward to her long-awaited intimacy with Lin Shen tonight, but Zhao Ya's appearance disrupted her plans.

Fortunately, the two still had a chance to be alone together.

Lin Ping didn't want to let it go, so she hugged Lin Shen's waist tightly and pleaded.

"Mr. Lin, could you stay downstairs with me a little longer? I don't want to go up so early."

"it is good."

Lin Shen turned around and chuckled.

"Unbutton your trench coat, let me see what you're wearing underneath."

"..."

Lin Ping was stunned for a moment, then blushed slightly and opened her trench coat, revealing a thin black lace slip dress underneath, as well as black stockings that covered her beautiful legs and high heels.

Such a private outfit was exposed to the outside world late at night, making Lin Ping's cheeks burn like fire.

Of course, this is accompanied by a strong sense of stimulation. (End of Chapter)
