"Honey, I think we can explain..."

Lydia said awkwardly:

"OK, we're not dating, it's just that we drank too much last night! Yes, we drank too much, that's all."

"Oh, you guys drank too much last night, and now it's already the next morning. I want to ask, you guys are not sober after a day and a night, right?"

"Come on baby, this is just sex, it's nothing, it's normal, and don't worry, there won't be a future."

"Mom, are you treating me like a child? I don't believe it... What the hell is pressing against my butt?" As he spoke, he took out a big cucumber from the sofa. He looked at Lydia and Bai Ye in shock: "Please tell me, are you making fruit salad?"

Bai Ye listened to the quarrel between the mother and son, sighed, reached out, took out a checkbook from his inner pocket, quickly signed a check, and handed it to Nate:

"Here, this is the pocket money your godfather gave you."

"Don't think you can buy my soul with money. I tell you..."

Nate glanced at the check Bai Ye handed over. The face value was... $10.

He was silent for a long time, then took the check handed over by Bai Ye, and his tone was much calmer: "Thank you, godfather! Mom, because of this check from godfather, I suddenly remembered that I left my wallet at my friend's house, and I have to go there immediately! Mom, please entertain godfather for me, I'll be back soon!"

Chapter 197 Falling in Love with My Friend’s Mom

2

Lydia was depressed as she watched her son Nate leave quickly.

At first I thought this behavior had caused you some harm, but... you sold me, your mother, just for money?

This kid...

Unfilial!

"What should we do now?" Lydia looked at Bai Ye.

"What can we do?" Bai Ye shrugged and said, "Nate is so sensible that he specially gave up the room to us. Of course we should continue to finish the unfinished work."

Lydia's depression faded away and her heart began to beat fast.

As a beautiful young woman who has been divorced for several months, her heart has been in turmoil for a long time and it is out of control. However, when she was playing poker with Bai Ye, she was interrupted in the middle. How could she not want to continue the game?

As Nate walked out of his house, he heard his mother Lydia's cry, and he couldn't help but sigh deeply:

"I wanted to yell at him, but he gave me too much..."

Nate reached out and flicked the check Bai Ye gave him, and a satisfied smile immediately appeared on his face.

$10 is almost his family’s total annual income.

With this money, he bought a sports car to show off, and still had a lot left over.

For this reason, what does it matter if I let my mother date a boyfriend who is much younger than her?

——Of course, the middle class in America also hates people who call them "alpa mud horses", but compared to the Chinese tradition, it is much easier to accept.

My mother is going to have a boyfriend anyway, so why not let her have a rich boyfriend who can give her a better life?

Nate kissed the check, put it in his wallet, and then excitedly prepared to find his good friend Jimmy to have a drink and celebrate.

Because they were interrupted, Bai Ye and Lydia didn't do too many fancy things and finished everything in twenty minutes.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Bai Ye left Lydia's house, leaving Lydia to clean up the battlefield.

……

Bai Ye made an appointment with Tony and went to Stark Tower together.

At the door of Stark Tower, Bai Ye and Tony met.

"Why did you ask me out? I'm still busy with the technical iteration of the Iron Man armor!" Tony said.

"Of course I asked you to come here to give you a big surprise! Don't worry, I guarantee you will feel that it is worth the money!" Bai Ye smiled and said, "Uh... what are you carrying in your hand?"

"Strawberries!" Tony said, "I remember that Pepper's favorite food is strawberries, so when I was driving here, I met a vendor selling strawberries, and I exchanged my watch for a box of strawberries."

Bai Ye: "...Are you sure you want to give Pepper Strawberry?"

"What's wrong?" Tony looked at Bai Ye: "Do you want to eat secretly? That's not allowed! If you want to eat, buy it yourself!"

"Forget it, it's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words!"

Bai Ye shook his head and walked into Stark Tower side by side with Tony.

A smooth journey.

The two came to the CEO's office of Stark Group, which was also Pepper's office.

"Hey, Pepper, long time no see, did you miss me?"

Bai Ye greeted with a smile on his face.

Xiao La Jiao was still processing documents. When she saw Bai Ye and the others coming in, she put down her work and greeted them with a smile:

"Bai Ye, how come you have time to come and see me?"

"I missed you."

Bai Ye gently put his arms around Little Lajiao's slender waist, hugged her, and then let her go.

"Ahem, Pepper, I'm still here!"

Tony coughed to make his presence felt.

There is no doubt that this guy is jealous.

"What's wrong with you being here?"

Pepper rolled her eyes at Tony and said:

"Tell me, why are you looking for me instead of in your basement, tinkering with your mecha?"

Some time ago, Tony concentrated on researching the Extremis virus version 2.0, and now he is iterating the Iron Armor technology, neglecting Pepper Potts, and the two are having a small conflict.

It was for this reason that Tony thought of buying strawberries as a gift to apologize to Pepper.

"Uh……"

Before Tony could say anything, Pepper saw the strawberries he brought over: "You brought me strawberries? Tony, don't you know that there is only one thing in the world that I am allergic to?"

"strawberry!"

Tony has learned to answer quickly. He said awkwardly:

"I've improved. Now I know that you and strawberries are related. Next time, I will never make a mistake again."

Over the years, it was Pepper Potts who took care of Tony in every possible way. Without Pepper Potts, Tony couldn't even remember his social security account number, and there were very few things Tony cared about Pepper Potts.

Bai Ye looked at the quarrel between Tony and Pepper Potts, the young couple, and shook his head. Tony was still not strong enough. If he was a man, would Pepper Potts dare to speak so loudly to you? He would kill her!

After being scolded, Tony was very embarrassed.

Finally, Bai Ye asked him to help move the industrial expo model that Howard Stark left in the Stark Group.

The two drove an off-road vehicle towards the Venus Energy manufacturing plant.

"What are you doing with this thing? It's decades old."

Tony asked, confused.

"You should know that I have an Ivan Vanko under my command. He has recently been studying your Stark family. After watching the video of your father Howard Stark hundreds of times, he found something wrong - that is, your father had deliberately placed the model of this industrial expo in the center of multiple images. After careful study, Ivan Vanko believed that your father left a big secret in this model. He was curious and wanted to solve this secret, so he asked me to take out this model." Bai Ye said, "I think since it concerns your father, it is better to ask you to come along."

"Big secret?" Tony sneered and said, "Even if there was a secret at the time, it has been decades now. Secrets have long since depreciated. We are all deeply developing the Ark Reactor and transforming into an energy tycoon. What secrets are worth you taking me on this trip?"

Tony has complicated feelings towards his old father, with both love and hatred. He even thinks that his old father doesn't like him at all, and it's just a byproduct of friction with his mother. From childhood to adulthood, he has never felt the slightest love from his father when facing Howard Stark. He is more like a strict and old-fashioned teacher, teaching him what to do and what not to do, and always seems to treat him with an impatient attitude.

"Tony, don't underestimate your father." Bai Ye said with a smile: "Maybe he will give us a surprise?"

After the 2.0 version of the Extremis Virus was developed, Bai Ye felt that it was time to build the fourth-generation Ark Reactor. The Ark Reactor using new elements could increase the energy and power released by dozens of times. He did not want to miss such a good thing.

Otherwise, when SHIELD gives Tony his father's relics, this thing will have nothing to do with Bai Ye's Venus energy.

Of course, I have to take advantage of the opportunity to give Tony some pointers and finally share this technology with Tony.

He still has to thank us!

"Him? Humph." Tony said expressionlessly, "I even suspected that I was not his child at all. Maybe I was adopted. But the paternity test results showed that I was his son."

"Hmm... Tony, I seem to have heard of this." Bai Ye pretended to be serious and said, "I can't remember when and who said it, but I heard it. Your old father seemed to have suspected that you were not his son, because he once met a man named Boz, and found that when you grew up, you looked more and more like this Boz, which made him gradually anxious..."

This was just a joke, Bai Ye had certainly never heard of anything like this.

He just knew that during the Infinity War, Tony used Potts' name to deceive his old father, and he just brought it out at this time to fool Tony.

"real or fake?"

Tony looked at Bai Ye suspiciously.

"Let me tell you this." Bai Ye said, "When I was in China, I met a friend named Xu Tailang. When his father, Xu Zhengtai, was young, he had a close friend. Later, when his father was sentenced to prison for murder, he found that his son looked exactly like his close friend. So he was so angry that he kicked his son in the face every day! But the paternity test result was fine!"

"You are ridiculous, aren't you?" Tony said, "You must be making up stories to deceive me! How is it possible that your own son looks exactly like your best friend and that's still okay? His wife must have cheated on him!"

The two came to the manufacturing plant of Venus Energy.

When Ivan Vanko saw Tony, he snorted coldly, his eyes were not eyes, his nose was not a nose, and he didn't pay any attention to him at all.

If his old father Anthony Vanco was not still alive, he would have been ready to seek revenge on Tony.

How is it possible to communicate with him?

It just so happened that Bai Ye needed this kind of state. Otherwise, Bai Ye’s words to deceive Ivan Vanko and Tony would be easily exposed if they were paired together.

Bai Ye had already prepared all kinds of equipment for creating new elements.

Arrived in the laboratory.

Bai Ye snapped his fingers and said, "White Queen, use this industrial model to build a digital model and put it on an operational projection screen."

During this period, Bai Ye's artificial intelligence White Queen has completed a preliminary prototype and can be operated in a fool-proof manner, but if it wants to become a strong artificial intelligence like Jarvis, it will still require a large number of subsequent technical upgrades and a huge amount of data feeding.

When the digital model of the industrial model appeared, Tony, who had originally looked disdainful, was stunned and stared at the digital model.

"Bai Ye, what does this look like to you?"

"Probably... an atomic structure."

"I think so." Tony nodded, and immediately immersed himself in the work: "White Queen, remove all the landscape, the bushes, the trees, the parking lot, etc., and use the pavilion as the structure to form protons and neutrons..."

With Tony's oral manipulation, a new element soon took shape.

"I can't believe it. That old man has been dead for more than 20 years, and he still wants to teach me?"

Tony facepalmed.

After inventing the second-generation Ark Reactor, Tony always felt that he had completely surpassed his father Howard Stark. Only now did he realize that he had always lived in Howard Stark's shadow.

The technological content of the discovery of this new element is of course far superior to the second-generation Ark reactor he discovered.

If it weren't for the lack of industrial equipment and basic knowledge accumulated at the time, if Howard Stark were put in the present, the second-generation Ark reactor would not be worth mentioning at all compared to the fourth-generation Ark reactor that synthesizes these new elements.

"Tony, I don't think you should belittle yourself!" Bai Ye patted his shoulder and said, "Before, you thought you were far better than your father, but now you think you are far worse than him. You always go from one extreme to another. How can this be okay? I think that the new element you discovered and developed may not be entirely his personal credit, just like... the first generation of Ark reactor was not developed by him alone."

Tony was stunned when he heard Bai Ye's meaningful words.

Bai Ye was not talking nonsense. The reason why Howard Stark was able to develop new elements was purely because he was one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D. and could study the Tesseract. He extracted new elements from his research as isotopes of the Tesseract. If Tony was given the opportunity to study the Tesseract, he might not do worse than Howard Stark - like Ivan Vanko's father, Anthony Vanko, as a polar bear man, he certainly was not qualified to have the opportunity to study the Tesseract like Howard Stark.

Tony felt that Bai Ye was right and cheered up.

And Ivan Vanko was quite shocked that Howard Stark was able to develop a new element decades in advance, even though he despised Howard Stark's character... He actually accomplished something decades ago that they could never do in their lifetime.

Next.

With the joint efforts of Bai Ye, Tony and Ivan Vanko, they created new elements and used the Ark reactor as a carrier to create a fourth-generation Ark reactor with a triangular core shape.

"Hahaha, that's great, we've made history again!"

Tony cheered excitedly.

The fourth-generation Ark reactor is nearly a hundred times more powerful than the third-generation Ark reactor. It is certainly a very great technological innovation.

"Bai Ye, if you had led me to find the industrial model earlier and created this new element, I wouldn't have had to work so hard for so long to develop the Extremis virus for you."

In addition to its enhanced energy and power, this new type of Ark reactor is also an ultra-clean energy source that does not cause pollution when in use. If it had been developed earlier, Tony would no longer have suffered from palladium heavy metal poisoning.

"Who would have known that your father was so awesome?" Bai Ye smiled slightly.

The entire manufacturing process has been recorded by the White Queen. The fourth-generation Ark reactor is no longer a secret for Venus Energy.
