As soon as the three finished speaking, the sound of a key turning came from the entrance hall.

With a click, the door was pushed open.

Lin Wanrou came home from get off work.

She was dressed in a business suit, her eyes showing signs of fatigue, and her whole demeanor exuded a lingering sense of dejection.

The three people in the living room immediately stopped talking, and none of them mentioned the divorce again.

Xu Yue'e quickly wiped the worry off her face and stood up with a smile.

"Wanrou's back. Take a rest for a bit, Mom will go cook dinner now."

Lin Jianguo picked up the remote control, randomly selected a TV program, and pretended to be watching TV attentively.

The atmosphere in the room became somewhat awkward, with an unspoken tension permeating the air.

Lin Wanrou glanced at everyone indifferently, asked no questions, and bent down to change her shoes.

She knew in her heart that her parents probably already knew about the divorce.

However, she was naturally aloof, and there was no point in saying anything more now that things had come to this.

Lin Yuan, who was standing to the side, looked at her and his gaze shifted slightly.

His mother-in-law's words had indeed enlightened him.

Judging from Lin Wanrou's appearance, she doesn't seem like someone who wants a divorce and to regain her freedom.

It seems there's still a chance to salvage this marriage.

With that thought in mind, Lin Yuan walked towards the kitchen and took the initiative to speak.

"Mom, you can rest today. I'll cook dinner."

"what?"

Xu Yue'e paused, stunned on the spot.

She looked Lin Yuan up and down, then waved her hands repeatedly.

"Xiao Yuan, stop fooling around. The kitchen is not a place for you."

In the elderly couple's memory, Lin Yuan had never lifted a finger.

Over the years, he has rarely taken the initiative to clean up the dishes, let alone cook.

When he suddenly said he wanted to cook, Xu Yue'e assumed it was because she had spoken too harshly to him earlier and he was just being stubborn.

"Mom, just wait and you can taste my cooking."

Lin Yuan smiled but didn't offer any further explanation.

The original owner couldn't cook, so what does that have to do with him?

He used to travel around and had long since developed excellent culinary skills.

This is a good opportunity to let the two elders change their opinion of me.

He walked into the kitchen, skillfully picked up the apron and tied it, his movements natural and smooth, without the slightest awkwardness.

Then he reached out and gently pushed Xu Yue'e outside.

"Please go sit and rest in the living room. I'll take care of things here."

"You silly child..."

Xu Yue'e stood at the kitchen door, still filled with worry.

"Mom was being blunt just now, but it was for your own good. Don't try to be tough on yourself, or the food you make will be inedible, and the whole family will go hungry tonight."

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems."

Lin Yuan smiled and closed the kitchen door.

The atmosphere in the living room grew increasingly strange.

Lin Jianguo kept his eyes glued to the TV, but his gaze kept drifting towards the kitchen.

He really couldn't understand why Lin Yuan, who was always lazy, would suddenly want to cook.

Lin Wanrou, who had just changed her shoes, stood still, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.

She and Lin Yuan spent every day together, and she knew each other's situation all too well.

Lin Yuan used to be so clumsy that he couldn't even cook a bowl of noodles, so how could he possibly cook a dish?

Was it a momentary impulse, or was he deliberately trying to prove something?

She was filled with doubt, her gaze fixed on the tightly closed kitchen door.

Soon, noises came from the kitchen.

The water was gurgling, followed by the thud of a cleaver cutting into the cutting board.

The rhythm was even, and the movements were swift, unlike the flustered and clumsy movements of a novice.

The three people in the living room looked at each other, their curiosity growing stronger.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

The kitchen door was opened.

A rich and fragrant aroma of food instantly filled the entire room.

The aroma of cooking dispelled the previous oppression; just smelling it made one's appetite soar.

Lin Yuan came out carrying the dishes.

The first dish was shredded pork with green peppers, glossy and delicious, making it look incredibly appetizing.

Next, garlic lettuce, braised chicken pieces, steamed fish, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes were placed on the table one by one.

Five dishes in total, with a good balance of meat and vegetables.

Every dish looks amazing, with vibrant colors that make your mouth water just looking at them.

Lin Yuan wiped his hands, his tone indifferent.

"Dinner's ready, Dad, Mom, Wanrou, come and eat."

The three people in the living room were all stunned.

Xu Yue'e stared wide-eyed at the dishes on the table, unable to come to her senses for a long time.

Lin Jianguo also put down the remote control, looking incredulous.

This table of dishes, which looks, smells, and tastes delicious, was really made by Lin Yuan, who never cooks?

Lin Wanrou stood still, a ripple stirring in her usually cool eyes.

The scene before her completely shattered her long-held beliefs.

As she walked to the dining table, Xu Yue'e couldn't help but speak.

"Xiao Yuan, did you really make all of these yourself?"

"Mom, what kind of question is that? Who else could it be but me?"

Lin Yuan pulled up a chair and sat down. "Try it and see if it suits your taste."

Everyone took their seats one by one, picked up their bowls and chopsticks, and began to eat tentatively.

The first bite of the braised chicken was tender and flavorful, with a perfect balance of saltiness and savory aroma.

The delicious flavor spreads in your mouth, so good it's a delight to behold.

Xu Yue'e bit into the chicken, her face full of shock.

"The taste is surprisingly good! It's just as good as what you get at restaurants!"

Lin Jianguo picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks, tasted it carefully, and nodded repeatedly.

"Your skills are really good. I didn't know you had this talent."

The couple ate with gusto, each taking a spoonful and praising the food repeatedly.

Lin Wanrou quietly moved her chopsticks and bowl.

The dishes were fresh and delicious, and the cooking time was just right.

Her doubts deepened.

This man seems to be hiding more and more things about her that she doesn't know.

The Lin Yuan who used to be mediocre and inconspicuous seems to be gradually becoming a stranger.

The atmosphere at the dinner table became much more harmonious because of the food.

No one brought up the topic of divorce anymore.

As Xu Yue'e picked up some food, she looked Lin Yuan up and down, becoming more and more satisfied with him.

Although I always thought Lin Yuan was just an ordinary person, now it seems that he is down-to-earth and has good cooking skills, so he is not entirely without merit.

She subtly gave her husband a knowing look, and the two understood each other without saying a word.

It seems there's a greater chance of reconciliation now.

Lin Yuan observed all of this and continued eating his meal without making a sound.

This is exactly the effect he wanted.

Change other people's opinions step by step, and steadily move forward on the road ahead.

As for his relationship with Lin Wanrou, he already had a plan in mind.

Since the other party doesn't genuinely want a divorce, he naturally won't let go easily.

The dinner was a pleasant and enjoyable experience.

The five home-style dishes on the table completely won over my parents-in-law.

The anxiety and disappointment she felt during the day were gone from Xu Yue'e's gaze as she looked at Lin Yuan.

Instead, I felt a deep sense of satisfaction.

Lin Jianguo also frequently served food to Lin Yuan, his attitude becoming much gentler.

Only Lin Wanrou remained quiet and silent.

She ate her food in small bites, her cool gaze occasionally glancing at Lin Yuan.

A car accident not only drastically changed his personality, making him more composed, but he can even cook now?

As one event after another occurred, her ingrained stereotypes began to crumble.

The man she had shared a bed with for so long seemed to have been hiding his true abilities all along.

Dinner is over.

Lin Yuan took the initiative to clear the dishes and neatly carried them into the kitchen to wash them.

The two elders sat in the living room watching, their hearts filled with increasing satisfaction.

The atmosphere at home, compared to the oppressive and gloomy atmosphere of the afternoon, has completely warmed up.

But Lin Yuan, despite being busy, remained perfectly clear-headed.

The warmth we feel now is only temporary.

Without money and ability, all changes are merely superficial.

Thinking of this, a resolute glint flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes.

He silently calculated in his mind.

The cooling-off period for divorce is a full month.

These thirty days are his last chance.

This is also his best window of opportunity to turn the tide.

He must rise rapidly within this month.

It's not just about changing his in-laws' preconceived notions about him.

Furthermore, it is necessary to completely overturn the image of Lin Wanrou as an ordinary, incompetent, and unremarkable person.

Whether the marriage can be saved is secondary.

Most importantly, he must rely on his own abilities to establish himself and silence all doubts.

Right now, the most pressing problem is the lack of money.

As the old saying goes, poverty-stricken couples face a hundred sorrows.

He had nothing before, no job, no income, and was controlled by others in every way.

The reason others look down on him is ultimately because he lacks financial resources.

Even if he now possesses unparalleled medical skills, no one sees it or acknowledges it.

In the eyes of the world, not having money means not having ability.

I want to completely change the family's mindset and break the current deadlock.

The first step is to make money!

Make money quickly to completely improve the current economic predicament.

Only when you have savings can you have confidence.

His rise to prominence truly marked the beginning of his success.

As Lin Yuan washed the dishes, his mind raced.

He is currently a resident physician at the First Municipal Hospital.

The monthly salary is fixed and the pay is stable, but the salary increase is too slow.

Saving money slowly on a fixed salary is too slow.

It's nowhere near enough to make a comeback in a month, and it's not impressive enough to impress anyone.

If you want to get rich quickly, you must find another way.

His greatest asset is his top-tier traditional Chinese medicine skills, which far surpass those of renowned contemporary doctors.

Treating patients in a regular ward only earns a basic salary.

However, there are countless wealthy patients outside suffering from intractable diseases that are difficult to cure.

The wealthy fear illness most and trust good doctors the most.

As long as he takes action, he can cure those intractable diseases that hospitals are helpless against.

The compensation is absolutely substantial.

This is the fastest and safest way to get rich quick.

In addition, he also has countless lost ancient prescriptions, health preservation secrets, and folk remedies in his mind.

Each one of them is a priceless treasure.

You can easily achieve a leap in wealth by simply landing anywhere.

However, we still need to carefully plan which step to take first.

We must not be impatient for quick results, nor should we be too flamboyant.

He is currently still an intern at the hospital and must keep a low profile.

Taking on high-priced patients privately without proper consultation can easily attract criticism and cause trouble.

Only by being cautious can we proceed step by step.

Lin Yuan washed the dishes and chopsticks, dried his hands, and walked out of the kitchen.

In the living room, the two elders were chatting about everyday things, in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.

Lin Wanrou sat in the corner of the sofa, holding her phone, but her mind was elsewhere.

Noticing Lin Yuan come out, she subconsciously raised her gaze for a moment, then quickly looked away.

Looking at the peaceful and harmonious scene before him, Lin Yuan felt reassured.

One month.

no more, no less.

From this day forward, he will gradually reveal his medical skills, abilities, and wealth.

He wanted to make Lin Wanrou, and her parents, see things clearly.

In their eyes, he was a good-for-nothing son-in-law who had married above his station.

It's not that she's not good enough for Lin Wanrou at all.

Rather, it was the past him who disdained ostentation and was unwilling to show off.

The day he becomes fully capable and wealthy.

It's hard to say who's marrying whom.
