Chapter 547: Chapter 263: Argument and Determination

’Why does he have to set his sights on Ping?’

’He’s obviously only thinking about one thing!’

’And he’s definitely just playing around, not serious about the relationship at all.’

Because of this, the good impression Zhao Ya had of Lin Shen instantly evaporated. She even started to see him as one of those rich playboys who lived a life of debauchery.

’He’s not the type to settle down and live a proper life!’

Seeing that her mother seemed to have a problem with Lin Shen, Lin Ping hurriedly said.

"Mom, President Lin has actually been wonderful to me and Anan. He not only gave me a job, he also helped me rent this apartment!"

’Huh?’

’Lin Shen rented this apartment?’

Before Zhao Ya could recover from her surprise, Lin Ping continued to list all the good things Lin Shen had done for her.

"Yeah, and when he saw it was inconvenient for me to pick up Anan on my electric scooter, he even bought me a car worth over two hundred thousand."

’What?’

’He bought you a car?’

This was a bit beyond what Zhao Ya had expected.

She believed that someone would only give a gift as expensive as a car when the two were planning to get married.

But he bought you a car just because he saw it was inconvenient for you to pick up your child?

’Could it be that he’s serious about my daughter?’

Zhao Ya had to reconsider the whole situation.

While giving gifts didn’t necessarily mean a man liked a woman, it was a different story when it was a car worth over two hundred thousand!

If he were to just leave, that would be a huge loss.

’Unless Shen completely trusts and adores Ping. That must be why he’s treating her so well.’

Seeing her mother lost in thought, Lin Ping took Zhao Ya’s arm and added a few more examples of Lin Shen’s good deeds, as if trying to win her mother’s heart for her lover.

"And he’s not just good to me, he’s even better to Anan! Half the clothes in her closet are ones he bought for her, and he bought all her toys, too. Anan really likes him. Why else would she call him Brother Lin Shen?"

"Is that so..."

Zhao Ya’s expression gradually softened.

’If what Ping is saying is all true, then Lin Shen really is treating my daughter well.’

A man who was just playing around wouldn’t put in so much effort, especially since he had his own career to manage.

"In that case, Shen is your benefactor."

Zhao Ya smiled gently.

"You have to repay him properly. We can’t be too indebted to him, you understand?"

"I know, Mom."

Lin Ping stuck out her tongue playfully like a young girl, her pretty face somehow becoming even more beautiful as she muttered to herself.

’Mom, your daughter has already given her body to him. Isn’t that enough to repay his kindness?’

’If that’s still not enough, then I guess your daughter will just have to obey his every command in bed...’

’But... I think I’m already in that state, aren’t I?’

Lin Ping quickly patted her burning cheeks and took a deep breath to calm herself down.

A moment ago, she had been worried her mother would be hostile toward Lin Shen, but now it seemed her explanation had done a good job of clearing up the misunderstanding.

’Looks like Mom is starting to approve of President Lin!’

"Dinner’s ready."

Lin Ping carried the food to the dining table, her eyes full of tenderness as she looked at Lin Shen.

"President Lin, you must be hungry. Please, go ahead and eat."

"It’s fine. I’ll wait for you."

While Zhao Ya and Lin Ping were talking in the kitchen, Lin Shen and Anan were having an animated conversation.

Being with such an adorable and innocent child, Lin Shen felt the fatigue from his long day at work completely melt away.

’Having a well-behaved, obedient child is really nice!’

"Sit down."

When Zhao Ya came out, she took a seat next to Anan, taking over Lin Ping’s duty of feeding her granddaughter.

This left Lin Ping to "reluctantly" sit next to Lin Shen, her sexy outfit fully taken in by his gaze.

’Looks like she came prepared!’

’Too bad something unexpected came up.’

Lin Shen smiled knowingly, while Zhao Ya began to politely inquire about his situation.

All the information she had about Lin Shen came from her daughter.

Now, Zhao Ya planned to probe him herself to see if he was really as good a man as her daughter claimed.

"Shen, I heard from Ping that you hired her as a general manager at your company?"

Zhao Ya said, a little embarrassed.

"Won’t that affect your company’s performance? After all, Ping doesn’t know how to do anything. She’s quite slow. I’m afraid she’ll mess things up for you if you give her such an important position."

"Mom!"

Although Lin Ping knew her mother was just trying to be polite, she still felt a little resentful.

But Lin Shen just chuckled and said.

"Not at all. Our company’s hiring process involves careful evaluation and interviews. We never hire employees through backdoor connections."

"After my thorough investigation, I believe Lin Ping is more than capable of handling the work I’ve assigned her. So please, don’t worry. She can handle her job."

"That’s good to hear."

Zhao Ya let out a sigh of feigned relief, then continued to ask about Lin Shen’s background.

Including his family, life experiences, and education.

Finally, she focused the topic on his relationship history.

"You’re so handsome, you must have a girlfriend, right?"

"I do."

Lin Shen admitted it with a direct nod, which truly took Zhao Ya by surprise.

’Wait!’

’You have a girlfriend?’

’Then why are you here having dinner at your subordinate’s home alone?’

’Doesn’t that seem suspicious?’

’Or could it be...’

Zhao Ya’s gaze fell on Lin Ping, who was lowering her head and taking small bites of her food, and her eyes narrowed.

’Inviting a handsome boss who has a girlfriend over for dinner, and dressing so provocatively. The motive is obvious!’

"Ping."

Zhao Ya was the type of person who couldn’t hide her feelings. Once something was on her mind, she wanted to resolve it as soon as possible rather than letting it drag on.

"Come with me for a moment."

"Oh."

Lin Ping had a good guess what her mother wanted to talk about, but she still feigned ignorance as she followed her into the bedroom and locked the door behind them.

"Mom, we’re in the middle of dinner. What did you need me for?"

"Shen said he has a girlfriend. What’s going on?"

"It’s exactly what it sounds like... HISS!"

Lin Ping muttered under her breath, only to have Zhao Ya immediately twist her ear and demand.

"You knew he has a girlfriend, and you still invited him over for dinner alone? And you even dressed so indecently? Do you have improper designs on him?"

"What improper designs could I possibly have..."

Seeing Lin Ping still stubbornly refusing to admit it, Zhao Ya poked her hard on the forehead and said angrily.

"Still trying to argue? I’m your mother! You think I don’t know what you’re thinking?"

"Yes, it’s exactly what you think!"

Seeing that she couldn’t hide it anymore, Lin Ping decided to throw caution to the wind and lay her cards on the table with her mother.

"So what if I want to seduce President Lin?"

"You!"

Zhao Ya flew into a rage, raising her hand to strike Lin Ping.

But when she saw the pitiful sight of her daughter tightly covering her own cheeks, her raised hand stopped in mid-air. She finally clenched it into a fist, letting it drop to her side as she scolded her daughter, her voice a mix of anger and anxiety.

"Lin Ping! Have you lost your mind? Shen has a girlfriend! A girlfriend! Didn’t you hear him? What does that make you for doing this? A mistress? That’s immoral! You’ll be hated and despised by everyone!"

"You yourself caught Mingchuan cheating, and now you’re seducing another man into cheating? Aren’t you just disgracing the Lin Family name!"

"If word of this gets out, where am I supposed to hide my face? How am I supposed to face the neighbors and all your aunts and cousins?"

"Why should I care what other people say? Isn’t it enough that I’m happy?"

Lin Ping said stubbornly, a hint of grievance in her trembling voice.

"Does following moral rules guarantee a good life? Shen Mingchuan still cheated! Was I wrong then?"

"I’ve finally figured it out. The only thing that matters is that Anan and I are happy. Nothing else is important!"

"It doesn’t matter if people call me a mistress or accuse me of wrecking someone else’s relationship! None of that is important!"

"President Lin is good to me. He takes care of me and has given me a level of consideration and warmth I’ve never experienced before. He even provided a comfortable life for Anan, moved the two of us out of a run-down, thirty-square-meter apartment and into this new one, and even buys us clothes, jewelry, toys, and daily necessities."

"So I’m willing to be his mistress! His lover!"
