Chapter 306: Chapter 299: Godson
She had always been a small chick when she was young, yet her little brother resembled a tiny pig.
When dinner time came, surprisingly, the entire Lin family showed up.
Lin Yile waved to Tang Yuxin as if he liked visiting a lot. At that moment, Ren Li from the room, lifted up Little Fatty, who had just woken up. Little Fatty was rubbing his eyes, his chubby little hands full of fleshly dimples. His small arms and legs were all rather pudgy. Tang Yuxin jokingly referred to her little brother as a small pig, and with one look, he seemed even chubbier than ever.
“Chengcheng, see who’s here?”
Ren Li pinched her son’s cheek and pointed at Mr. Lin to help him identify.
Little Fatty was still quite groggy from sleep, but he still followed his mother’s pointer finger’s direction and looked over. Upon seeing Mr. Lin, his eyes immediately lit up. He reached out with his chubby little hand, wanting Mr. Lin to hold him.
“Aiyo, see? He still recognizes you, his fondness for you isn’t misplaced, is it?”
“Of course, he’s my godson,” Mr. Lin hastily reached out to take Little Fatty in his arms.
“Chengcheng, good son, do you miss godfather?”
“Yes…”, Chengcheng’s sweet little voice and his resemblance to a money-attracting doll made everyone want to pinch his chubby cheeks.
Tang Yuxin felt rather puzzled. “When did he become a godfather?”
Lin Yile whispered into Tang Yuxin’s ear, “When we were in school, my father visited often, so Chengcheng quickly took a liking to him. My father insisted on making Chengcheng his godson. Now, I also have a little brother.” She pointed proudly at her own face, “From now on, your brother will be my brother. I’m so happy! I finally have a brother.”
“I see…” Tang Yuxin raised her head, her gaze rather complex. Seeing how Mr. Lin holds Chengcheng tightly and cherishes him so much, he really seems fond of Chengcheng, which is rather understandable.
Such a charming and attractive child, who wouldn’t like him?
Tang Yuxin lowered her lashes, pondering how things had progressed to this point. She admitted that she had an ulterior motive for helping Lin Yile in the first place. Knowing her father, a man who commands great respect and influence in Qing’an, she often saw him on TV, a testimony to his achievements and power.
So, the initial intention to establish a good relationship was there. She was hoping, knowing that she had helped Lin Yile in the past, that Mr. Lin would remember their kindness and lend their family a helping hand.
With Mr. Lin’s support behind them, at the very least, their family would not be bullied in Qing’an in future.
Otherwise, why would she have put in so much effort helping Lin Yile, helping her heal her body, helping her get into Qing University? Indeed, helping her get into Qing University was something Lin Yile feels she mysteriously achieved. Given her high school grades, no matter how well she studied in high school, she definitely wouldn’t have made it to Qing University.
This was Tang Yuxin’s secret. In moments when no one was paying attention, she inserted the university entrance examination questions of that year into Lin Yile’s study materials. This slight bit of cheating helped Lin Yile smoothly get into Qing University, which is one of the top universities in the country.
It appears that Mr. Lin is currently rising swiftly in his official career and doing very well.
In the last life, Mr. Lin’s fortune in the officialdom only started to rise after Lin Yile went to university, and it seemed to be smooth sailing. In this life, it should be a bit better.
Now that their family has a student from Qing University, Tang Yuxin, their daughter’s top-ranked classmate. Plus, this area of Qing’an is under his management. Therefore, his promotion should be a piece of cake.
And now, he even likes Chengcheng greatly. This is tantamount to Chengcheng having another powerful and influential godfather, ensuring no one will dare to bully her younger brother in the future.
Moreover, along with the wealth their parents have secured for Chengcheng, he will at least not have to worry about poverty in the future.
She lowered her head, looking at her own hands, then clenched them. In any case, she will fight for her own place in the world. In the future, she will become a renowned doctor nationwide, just like Ren Li said. In the future, no one will dare to mess with her as long as she is a lifesaving doctor, then no one will jokingly take their own lives.
Chengcheng is currently being cradled by Mr. Lin. Nobody knows what he said in his soft baby voice, but it immediately got the whole family laughing.
At dinner time, Zhang Xiangcao cooked a whole table of delicious dishes. She is just an ordinary woman. She does not have Ren Li’s brilliant mind or Mrs. Lin’s superior social skills, but she is very virtuous, and has learned to cook many dishes from television, making her cooking very delicious, as good as any dish made by professional chefs.
Therefore, whenever they talk about food, the first place that comes to their mind is definitely not anywhere else, but the Tang family. The Tang family has such an amazing cook, and it’s so clean and sanitary, who would want to eat outside?
Chengcheng was held by someone else again, this time by Mrs. Lin. Mrs. Lin had always dreamed of having a son. Unfortunately, she only had a daughter, a skinny one that looked like a tiny chick.
“Mom, do you like Chengcheng that much?” As Lin Yile ate, she sometimes sneaked a pinch of Chengcheng’s small flesh paw. Chengcheng, however, seemed to be very accepting of whoever took advantage of him, always laughing happily, looking cute and adorable.
“Of course, I do,” Mrs. Lin let Chengcheng stand on her lap, cherishing his adorable appearance. “I had always wanted to have a plump baby boy.”
“But you got a plump daughter instead,” Lin Yile chimed in with a touch of sourness in her voice.
“Nonsense?” Mrs. Lin glared at her daughter, “What plump daughter? I gave birth to a four-pound weakling, and it was such an effort keeping her alive. Every day, she was like a cat, only five or six pounds after several months. My hair turned white from worry.”
“Mom…” Hearing this, Lin Yile was so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl under the table. What did she do to deserve this? Why was it her fault? Who was the one that made her so thin and hard to raise? Was being thin her fault? Was being difficult to raise her fault?
The others couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Chengcheng, this little chubby brother oblivious to the world, clapped his small hands and laughed innocently. No one knew what he was laughing at, but he seemed extremely joyful and happy.
This is their first year in university, very relaxed and happy. Tang Yuxin spends all day with her brother, without any other things to worry about, no need to study or anything else.
