Financial freedom starts with cracked apps.

In the living room.

Lin Ping was completely stunned when she saw her father slap her.

After all, in his memory, his father was a relatively stable person.

But now he's so impatient that he slapped himself.

Lin Ping was stunned, but Zhao Ya reacted quickly, standing up and grabbing Lin Xiangyang's arm tightly to scold him.

What are you doing?!

"Why are you asking me what I'm doing? You should ask your daughter what she's doing!"

Lin Xiangyang was somewhat exasperated.

"She's already become someone else's mistress, and you're still so calm?"

"Because I know about this."

Zhao Ya's calm demeanor completely baffled Lin Xiangyang, who stared wide-eyed.

"You know? You know and you're still so calm? Could it be..."

"Actually, I was just as angry as you were at first."

Zhao Ya couldn't help but sigh softly.

"But you have to admit, our daughter is doing better now than when she got married, and that's all thanks to Lin Shen."

"He not only gave Aping a job, but also gave An'an company. Now An'an really likes Lin Shen, you know that?"

"I don't know! And I don't want to know!"

Lin Xiangyang waved his hand irritably, but Zhao Ya's words calmed him down a bit.

After all, some of what she said was quite correct.

That is, my daughter is indeed living a better life now than when she got married.

There's no need to ask; you can tell just by looking at their energy and spirit.

Lin Ping looked gloomy and never smiled during her wedding.

Now, she exudes confidence and self-assurance, with a gentle smile on her lips, radiating sunshine and vitality.

Look at least five or six years younger!

Therefore, Lin Xiangyang was somewhat conflicted.

After all, what father wouldn't want his daughter to have a better life?
But the idea of ​​a "mistress" was still far beyond this traditional father's imagination.

After all, in his eyes, mistresses are the kind of people who destroy other people's relationships and are extremely disgusting.

How could his own daughter do such an immoral thing?

This is disrespectful to others, and also disrespectful to oneself!

Lin Xiangyang glared angrily at Lin Ping, still gritting his teeth.

"What were you thinking? You ruined someone else's relationship!"

"I do not have."

Lin Ping explained calmly and humbly, her expression seemingly stating a fact.

“I did not ruin Mr. Lin’s relationship with his girlfriend, because she knew about me.”

ha?
Lin Xiangyang was a little confused and didn't react for a long time. He even thought he had misheard.

"What did you say? You mean Lin Shen's girlfriend knows you're the other woman?"

"Ah."

Lin Ping nodded.

"She is the second chairman of Shennan. Shennan was founded by her and Lin Shen, and the name comes from the last two characters."

"I entered Shennan with her consent, and of course she knew about my relationship with Lin Shen."

"So she didn't kick you out?"

Lin Xiangyang felt his worldview crumbling, and he was filled with questions.

"Why? She's completely unmoved by her boyfriend having an affair?"

"It's probably because our CEO Lin is too outstanding."

As soon as she mentioned this, a proud smile unconsciously appeared on Lin Ping's lips.

“He founded Shennan at the age of 25 and is now worth over 10 million. Most people can’t reach the level of our CEO Lin.”

"In addition, he is very handsome, disciplined in his lifestyle, maintains an excellent physique, and has a very good personality..."

"..."

Seeing his daughter praising Lin Shen, Lin Xiangyang knew he was in trouble.

Because her beautiful eyes were filled with spring, and her pretty face even unconsciously blushed, the faint smile on her lips seemed to be unable to be suppressed, but rather came from the bottom of her heart.

This state is so clear that it doesn't even need confirmation; it's a state of being in love.

In other words, his daughter has fallen in love with a boy who is seven or eight years younger than him?
Oh my god...

Lin Xiangyang no longer knew how to accept this reality, as the impact was too great.

He slumped weakly onto the sofa, his gaze somewhat vacant.

Seeing this, Zhao Ya sat down next to him and patted his back to comfort him.

"I know what you're worried about; it's nothing more than our daughter's reputation."

"Actually, this is easy to solve. If you don't say anything and I don't say anything, who will know that Lin Ping has another man outside after her divorce?"

"Besides, everyone is so materialistic these days. Even if Lin Ping doesn't rely on a man outside, won't our relatives gossip when they see that she's successful in her career?"

"You know, people are less caring these days. Only we parents care about Lin Ping's daily life. Who else would care about that?"

"They only care about how much money they make, whether they have a boyfriend or girlfriend, and they're mostly just watching the show."

"So, you don't object to this?"

Lin Xiangyang looked at Zhao Ya, and only after she nodded did he give an example.

"Since that's the case, then I might as well keep a mistress too."

"You dare!?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ya became anxious. She frowned, pinched Lin Xiangyang's waist and abdomen hard, and coldly rebuked him.

"If someone keeps a mistress, it's because he's rich and capable."

"Don't be fooled by the fact that Lin Ping's car and gold necklace were gifts from Lin Shen. To him, these two or three hundred thousand yuan worth of things are no different from buying a steamed bun from a roadside stall."

"They only do things because they have the means. What about you? Not only are you ugly, but you can't even afford to support a mistress with your meager retirement pension? You deserve a beating!"

"You allow your daughter to be a mistress, but you won't allow me to keep a mistress, is that it...?"

Lin Xiangyang didn't dare to argue loudly with Zhao Ya, he just kept muttering complaints in a low voice.

She overheard him anyway, and angrily grabbed his ear.

"Do you think I allowed it? I had no choice!"

"If we're talking about finding a partner normally, are you sure our daughter's new boyfriend is suitable? She's divorced with a child, so the person she dates will almost certainly be divorced as well. Can someone like that compare to Lin Shen?"

"Let me be honest, being Lin Shen's mistress is much better than marrying an ordinary person!"

"What's more, An'an really likes Lin Shen, and many of her clothes and toys were bought by Lin Shen."

"..."

Zhao Ya's words calmed Lin Xiangyang down completely and made him think about the matter.

If Lin Shen's feelings for Lin Pinghao were merely for her, then his feelings for An Anhao show that his affections were genuine.

After all, given his status, there are countless ways for him to please women, so there's no need for him to try and get close to a divorced woman's child.

But Lin Xiangyang was still puzzled. He looked up again and carefully examined Lin Ping before asking her a question.

"But if Lin Shen is so outstanding, why would he take a liking to you?"

"Your daughter is excellent too, okay!"

Lin Ping pouted slightly, looking somewhat displeased.

Don't you think your daughter is very beautiful?

"Um……"

In Lin Xiangyang's eyes, his daughter is definitely the most beautiful, but given her age, how could she possibly attract a young, vibrant entrepreneur in his twenties?

That's really strange. Of course, as someone from the older generation, Lin Xiangyang does have some difficulty understanding the thinking of today's young people.

But Lin Ping knew very well!

The reason Lin Shen cared so much about her, besides her being obedient and sensible and having a fairly full figure, was probably mainly because of her status as a "married woman".

It's like a boy collecting things; he always gathers all the model toys he likes together.

Women are the same.

She herself is a young married woman, Sister Shen Yun is a mature and beautiful woman, President Qin is a sophisticated and mature woman, and of course, there is also a female college student who is being kept by a sugar daddy...

Having so many identities is probably one of the reasons why she was able to win Lin Shen's favor.

Lin Ping's gaze softened; she was incredibly grateful that she had gotten divorced, and even felt a little thankful to Shen Mingchuan.

If it weren't for him, I probably wouldn't have been able to get into Lin Shen's "collection".

Of course, as a "toy" that is being collected, Lin Ping has no complaints or negative emotions.

She has a clear understanding of her own position and self-awareness. A mistress should act like a mistress, not overly vying for so-called status and fame, but simply doing her own thing.

However, Lin Xiangyang didn't think that way. He wanted to see just how charming this guy was that he could make his daughter willingly become his mistress.

"Show me his photo."

"The photos? Let me look for them."

Lin Ping took out her phone, but after searching for a long time, she couldn't find anything she could show to her elderly father.

After all, the photos of her and Lin Shen were all very intimate private photos. If her father saw them, she would probably be so ashamed that she would want to crawl into a hole in the ground.

So Lin Ping only found a photo of Lin Shen wearing a suit and holding a meeting with the whole company for her father.

In the photo, he is full of vigor, smiling and chatting with his employees who are much older than him. He has a tall and upright posture and a handsome appearance, but he doesn't have a effeminate feel. Instead, he exudes a positive and sunny vibe.

This upright and righteous demeanor is what the older generation, like Lin Xiangyang, likes the most.

"good."

Lin Xiangyang, who initially harbored some reservations about Lin Shen, suddenly developed a much stronger liking for him after seeing his photo, and boasted with a smile.

"As expected, the people of our Lin family are outstanding. This child is clearly exceptional."

"Yes."

"How could someone with such an upright appearance do something like keeping a mistress?"

Lin Xiangyang was somewhat puzzled, but he clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Does that mean all men turn bad when they get rich...?"

"Because Mr. Lin was betrayed by his girlfriend before."

Lin Ping explained from the side.

"So he no longer believes in love, so..."

"How could someone like this be betrayed?"

Lin Xiangyang felt like he had stumbled upon some juicy gossip.

"That guy is really amazing. I feel like I've never seen a boy more handsome than Lin Shen."

"Is that so?"

Upon hearing her father praise Lin Shen, Lin Ping suddenly lowered her head shyly and muttered something under her breath.

"That matter about him and me..."

"Whatever makes you happy."

Now Lin Xiangyang has taken a look.

Who cares about reputation and honor? What good are those things anyway!

As long as my daughter's life is good enough, everything else is meaningless.

Therefore, Lin Xiangyang, who has always been traditional, is gradually accepting that his daughter is another man's mistress.

Of course, being a mistress might not sound nice, but being a girlfriend is a much better term.

As for how many girlfriends Lin Shen has, that's his business.

They themselves didn't know, let alone their relatives and friends.

Therefore, Lin Xiangyang felt more at ease and allowed the matter to happen, smiling as he handed the phone back to Lin Ping.

"It's up to you. Anyway, I think this kid is alright, but it's best if you don't publicize this. As for his job, just say he's an ordinary office worker."

"Ah."

Lin Ping nodded slightly, feeling somewhat fortunate that the car Lin Shen had given her was a BYD Han EV instead of a luxury car from another brand.

If it were any other luxury car, she would probably be the subject of gossip among her relatives and friends by now.

BYD, on the other hand, wouldn't have so many strange and unusual issues.

As expected, President Lin was very thoughtful.

"Then I'll go check on Xiaofei first."

After finishing her story, Lin Ping left decisively, fearing further interrogation.

When she knocked on the door, she found that Zheng Yanfei had almost finished packing her luggage.

She was taking a beautiful selfie at that moment, which made Lin Ping chuckle and tease her.

"What? Did you tell your boyfriend about it?"

"Auntie, you're back."

Upon seeing Lin Ping return, Zheng Yanfei immediately went up to her with a smile and asked.

"How did it go? What did you talk about with Grandpa?"

"It's nothing, just some minor issues."

Lin Ping really didn't want to talk about it, but Zheng Yanfei, who wanted to hear the gossip, kept pestering her to tell the story.

"Hey! Tell me! I heard everything! It's always about your boyfriend, Auntie?"

"Well, I guess so..."

Lin Ping was still a little shy, but after seeing Zheng Yanfei's expectant eyes, she spoke softly.

"I've come clean with my parents about my boyfriend."

"Really?"

Zheng Yanfei's eyes lit up, and then she said excitedly.

"Can you show me a picture of your boyfriend? You haven't even told me his name."

"The forest is deep."

Lin Ping felt there was no need to hide anything from Zheng Yanfei anymore, so she directly found the photo of Lin Shen that she had just shown to her father on her phone and showed it to Zheng Yanfei.

When Zheng Yanfei saw Lin Shen looking handsome in the company meeting, she wasn't as happy as she had imagined; in fact, she felt a strange sense of unease.

The truth has now been laid out.

My aunt's boyfriend is Brother Lin Shen!

Seeing that Zheng Yanfei was completely stunned, Lin Ping hugged her a little embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I'm too embarrassed to ask."

"Because my boyfriend isn't the middle-aged man you were described to me, but a young man in his early twenties."

"I was afraid you would look down on your aunt, so I kept this a secret until now... Will you hate your aunt?"

Lin Ping asked cautiously, but Zheng Yanfei immediately shook her head, looking somewhat puzzled.

Why would I hate you, Auntie?

"Because my aunt's boyfriend is very young."

Lin Ping tucked her hair back, her pretty face slightly flushed.

"That's not good."

"What's wrong with that?"

Zheng Yanfei returned the phone to Lin Ping.

"As long as Auntie is happy, that's the best!" (End of Chapter)
