Xu Guofeng had a faint smile on his face.
Half an hour later, he arrived at the hospital with breakfast.
"Honey, when should we give the red envelope, and how much?" Xu Guofeng asked Yang Qingyue.
Yang Qingyue replied, "Mengyao said it's fine whenever we give it. We should give it to Lin Chen as soon as possible."
"We'll give it when Lin Chen comes to our house."
Xu Guofeng nodded, "That's what I was thinking. So, how much red envelope should we give Lin Chen? Should we give him 100,000 like we gave Mengyao's parents?"
"Honey, you mean—"
Xu Guofeng said, "Besides the 100,000 yuan, give him some shares? That stuff will be theirs sooner or later."
"But, they gave 100,000, and if we give more, won't that be awkward? Won't it make the in-laws feel bad?"
Yang Qingyue thought for a moment and said, "Let's not give it. Talk to Mengyao and have her withdraw the prenuptial agreement."
"Okay."
Xu Guofeng nodded. "That's the plan. Honey, just hold on a little longer. We'll be going back in ten days."
Knock, knock!
Someone knocked on the door.
Xu Guofeng opened it, and Solina was standing there.
Solina was holding a large bouquet of flowers.
"Mr. Xu, your wife will be discharged soon, right? I just happened to be in New York and came to visit her," Solina said with a smile.
Xu Guofeng nodded. "Please come in."
Solina entered the ward. Yang Qingyue wasn't lying down at the moment. Solina personally handed the flowers to Yang Qingyue. "Mrs. Xu, I wish you good health and all the best."
Her Chinese wasn't very good.
But Solina spoke this sentence very fluently; she had practiced it many times before coming here.
"Thank you."
Yang Qingyue smiled.
Solina looked at Xu Guofeng. "Mr. Xu, I've had people keeping an eye on the Xu family. You seem to be having some trouble recently. Do you need help from the Dawson Family?"
"I owe Lin Chen a life."
Her words stumbled a bit as she spoke.
Xu Guofeng said in English, "Ms. Solina, we're currently just dealing with a minor issue, and we can handle it."
"Also, you're still staying with our Xu family because of Lin Chen's life-saving grace, which isn't appropriate."
Solina breathed a sigh of relief.
She said in English, "Mr. Xu, please tell Mr. Lin Chen that I haven't forgotten his life-saving grace. If he needs help, feel free to call me."
"The Dawson Family still has some influence. And I've now gained a good deal of power within the family."
Xu Guofeng nodded, "I will convey that."
"Thank you."
"Mr. Xu, Mrs. Xu, I'll take my leave."
Solina left quickly.
Xu Guofeng closed the door, and Yang Qingyue said, "Honey, Solina really takes debts of gratitude to heart."
Xu Guofeng nodded slightly.
"She values it a lot. She also holds considerable power within her family. The significance of Lin Chen's favor is huge."
"If we gain the support of the Dawson Family, I can't say for sure how much we'll gain, but our Xu Family will certainly be worry-free within five years. But this is a favor Lin Chen earned, and we can't use it."
Yang Qingyue was quite surprised: "Solina's favor is so effective?"
Xu Guofeng: "I looked into the Dawson Family. The Dawson Family's surface assets alone are more than ten times ours."
"They have a lot of assets overseas, and the Dawson Family's total assets are at least twenty times ours."
"Moreover, the Dawson Family has been around for over a hundred years and has good relationships with many influential powers. Their influence is very strong."
Yang Qingyue clicked her tongue in amazement.
"Our Xu Family has some money, but we're still far weaker compared to a family like the Dawson Family."
Xu Guofeng smiled, "How long has our country been rising? Our family has developed along with the country. We've had much less time to develop compared to them."
"I'll video call Lin Chen."
Yang Qingyue nodded, "Okay, I miss Xiaoxi too."
Soon, Xu Guofeng made the video call. Lin Chen was currently on the bed, telling Lin Xiaoxi a story.
"Grandpa, Grandma."
Lin Xiaoxi leaned in as the video connected.
"Good girl, Xiaoxi."
"What are you doing, Xiaoxi?"
Lin Xiaoxi said in a childish voice, "Grandma, Daddy is telling a story, Daddy's stories are the best."
Lin Chen smiled and said, "Uncle Xu, Aunt Yang. Aunt Yang, you've almost recovered, right? Mengyao said you'll be back in about ten days."
"Shall Mengyao and Xiaoxi go to pick you up?"
Yang Qingyue smiled and said, "Lin Chen, don't bother. It takes a lot of time to fly over here from China."
"We'll come back on our own."
Xu Guofeng said, "Lin Chen, you don't need to come pick us up. I heard about the problem with the plane's landing gear before. What if something happens to all of us on board?"
"Don't put all your eggs in one basket."
Lin Chen nodded slightly.
The Xu family's assets were worth billions, so this concern wasn't unreasonable.
What would they do if the whole family died?
"Lin Chen, Solina just came by. She said she will definitely repay you for saving her life. You can call her anytime if you need anything in the future," Xu Guofeng said.
Lin Chen: "Uncle Xu, I don't need anything. If the Xu family runs into big trouble, you can ask her for help."
"Just have her repay this favor to the Xu family."
Xu Guofeng quickly said, "Lin Chen, this favor is yours. The Dawson Family is stronger than I told you, and this favor is very important."
"It's better for you to keep it."
Lin Chen smiled, "Uncle Xu, let's just leave it for now. The Xu family probably won't need it anytime soon."
"Mhm."
Xu Guofeng nodded.
Lin Xiaoxi was puzzled, "Dad, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
Lin Chen patted Lin Xiaoxi's little head. "What Dad and Grandpa were just talking about was grown-up stuff. It's normal if you didn't understand. You'll get it when you're older."
"Now, why don't you chat with Grandma and Grandpa for a bit?"
Lin Xiaoxi nodded. "Grandpa, Grandma, Dad took me to the amusement park! It was so much fun."
The two adults and the little girl chatted for a while before ending the video call.
"Xiaoxi, after you finish telling that story, you go to sleep, okay?"
Lin Chen said gently.
"Mmhmm."
Lin Xiaoxi lay down.
Lin Chen started the story again.
His fairytale creation skill was now super strong, and his storytelling ability was also extremely high, making it easy for people to become immersed.
This time, Lin Chen was telling a bedtime story designed to induce sleep, and before he finished, Lin Xiaoxi had already fallen sweetly asleep.
Lin Chen slowly got out of bed and went to the study.
He wrote a fairytale and uploaded it.
"Beep beep!"
Soon, Lin Chen received a message from the editor-in-chief, Chen Wenhan.
As long as Lin Chen uploaded something, Chen Wenhan knew Lin Chen was available.
"Big Boss Lin Yu, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."
"What is it?"
Chen Wenhan said, "There's a foreign publishing house that wants to translate your fairy tales and publish them abroad. The price they're offering is quite good."
"How many publishing houses have contacted you?"
Lin Chen asked.
Chen Wenhan replied, "Just one for now."
Lin Chen thought for a moment and then responded, "Chief Editor, I can translate some of the fairy tales into English. Is it okay to upload both Chinese and English versions to the website?"
"The website supports it, but can you translate them yourself?"
Chen Wenhan was a bit surprised.
"No problem, I can translate it myself, which will be more accurate. The foreign rights aren't urgent. Let's see how things play out first."
