Chapter 184
While cutting vegetables, Lin Yi turned his head and looked at Cheng Hong.
"I was abrupt today."
"I just saw you coming back from my balcony with a bunch of ingredients."
"It just so happened that I didn't have time to buy vegetables today."
"I thought I'd come to your house for a meal."
"I didn't expect... hahaha!"
As Lin Yi spoke, his hands kept moving.
In a few seconds, he cut a carrot into thin strips.
Cheng Hong was amazed by his knife skills.
She originally thought that Lin Yi said he could cook just to find an excuse to avoid being in the same room with his parents.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yi really knew how to cook.
"Mr. Lin, your cooking skills are good!"
"It seems I'm in for a treat today!"
Lin Yi smiled and picked up another piece of green onion.
"Sister Hong, you can go and accompany your parents."
"I'll call you when I'm done."
With a flick of the knife, a piece of green onion was also cut into thin green onion strips.
Cheng Hong knew that she couldn't help Lin Yi in the kitchen.
So, she left tactfully.
......
......
After more than 40 minutes, the kitchen door opened and a burst of fragrance wafted out.
"What a nice smell!"
Cheng Hong wrinkled her nose and sniffed, and her stomach started to growl.
Lin Yi came out of the kitchen with dishes.
"Uncle and aunt, it's time to eat!"
Lin Yi greeted them as he put the dishes on the table.
Xu Jinglan and Cheng Mo looked at the table full of dishes and gave Lin Yi a thumbs up.
"Xiao Lin, I didn't expect you to be so good and cook so many dishes!"
"It seems that you were too modest when you told us that you could only cook home-cooked dishes!"
"This is better than what our private chef cooks!"
Lin Yi was secretly proud of himself.
Since strengthening his physical fitness, his strength and reaction speed have improved a lot.
Therefore, his knife skills and control of the heat when cooking have also improved accordingly.
Lin Yi politely served a bowl of rice to Xu Jinglan and Cheng Mo.
The four of them sat down and started eating.
Xu Jinglan picked up a piece of the sweet and sour pork in front of her and praised it highly.
"Old Cheng, it seems that our Honghong will have a good meal in the future."
Cheng Hong looked at Lin Yi with a guilty look, and her face turned red instantly.
"Mom... what are you talking about..."
"Didn't I tell you not to talk nonsense..."
Xu Jinglan didn't take it seriously.
"Oh, Mom is telling the truth."
"Xiao Lin, our daughter is usually spoiled by us, and she usually has a bad temper."
"If she bullies you, you must tell us, and we will help you teach her a lesson!"
Lin Yi swallowed the food in his mouth and smiled awkwardly.
"Auntie, Hong... Hong is usually very gentle."
"She has never bullied me."
Hearing Lin Yi's answer, Xu Jinglan quickly gave Cheng Mo a look.
As if to say: "See, I told you that our daughter is serious about Lin Yi!"
"Lin Yi himself admitted that our daughter is very gentle to him."
Cheng Mo also nodded.
I thought that Cheng Hong and Lin Yi should be serious about this relationship.
In this case, it is a good opportunity to learn more about this future son-in-law.
"Xiao Lin, how old are you this year, what does your family do?"
Cheng Hong glared at Cheng Mo when she heard this.
Just now, I specifically told him not to ask questions that shouldn't be asked.
I didn't expect that my father couldn't help it.
But Lin Yi didn't take these things to heart.
He answered honestly.
"Uncle, I'm nineteen years old this year."
"I'm a student at Nanling University now."
"I don't have any family."
"I grew up in an orphanage."
Cheng Hong looked at Lin Yi in disbelief.
This was the first time she heard Lin Yi talk about himself.
At first, Cheng Hong thought Lin Yi was a rich and noble son of a certain city.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yi actually grew up in an orphanage.
But... how is this possible?
A child from an orphanage, at the age of 19, bought a villa and a Bugatti Divo by himself? Cheng Hong couldn't believe it.
Maybe he didn't want to expose his family background, so he said that on purpose?
It's possible!
So, Cheng Hong quickly winked at her father Cheng Mo, asking Cheng Mo to stop asking.
But Cheng Mo's focus was now on Lin Yi, and he didn't see Cheng Hong's eyes at all.
"Xiao Lin, you... then you..."
"Then how did you and Hong Hong know each other?"
Lin Yi was 19 years old, Cheng Hong was 29 years old.
And Lin Yi was still a student.
Logically speaking, there should be no intersection between him and Cheng Hong.How did two people with such a big difference fall in love? Cheng Mo found it very puzzling.
Lin Yi put down his bowl and chopsticks and explained seriously.
"I met Hong Hong because I bought a car from her."
"And we are neighbors."
"I live in Villa No. 8 next door."
"After a while, we..."
In order to make Cheng Hong's parents believe that the two were really in love, Lin Yi told part of the truth.
Now it was Cheng Mo's turn to be shocked.
"Buy a car?"
"Villa?"
"Xiao Lin... you are not..."
The second half of the sentence was held back by Cheng Mo.
He originally wanted to ask Lin Yi, didn't you come from an orphanage? Where did you get so much money?
Cheng Hong has worked hard in Nanling for so long, and this villa was bought for her by him as a father.
Lin Yi relied on himself... How could it be possible?
"Xiao Lin, aren't you a college student?"
"Where does so much income come from..."
Cheng Mo changed his words and asked out his curiosity.
Cheng Hong coughed twice.
"Dad, how can you ask like that!"
"You are a boss after all."
"Don't you know it's impolite to ask others such questions?"
Cheng Mo knew it was inappropriate to ask like that.
But the other party was the boyfriend that his daughter had decided on.
As a father, he always had to check.
Lin Yi had so much money at such a young age.
What if Lin Yi's money came from an illegal source?
Or maybe Lin Yi deliberately packaged himself as a rich man to get close to Cheng Hong.
After defrauding Cheng Hong, he would find a way to defraud her money.
Cheng Mo had seen this kind of thing many times. Cheng Mo would never allow Cheng Hong to fall in love with such a person.
"Oh, isn't it because Xiaolin is your boyfriend?"
"I don't treat Xiaolin as an outsider."
"It's okay for family members to ask these questions."
Lin Yi waved his hand.
"It's okay, uncle is asking this out of concern."
"I understand."
"In fact, I also have several companies under my name."
"As for income, of course, it depends on these companies."
Lin Yi said modestly.
But Cheng Mo's heart was in turmoil.
At the age of 19, he already had a company under his name.
And there were several companies.
Even if they were just some small companies that had just started, it was very remarkable.
"Not bad, not bad, the young are formidable!"
"Xiaolin, I wonder what the company under your name does?"
"If there is a chance, maybe uncle can help you!"
