After My Rebirth, I Escaped My Marriage

Chapter 750: Chapter 750: You Spoke, Yet It Seemed Like You Said Nothing

Lin Gantang seriously doubted her dad had only gone to the old district for skewers.

She sat next to Wen Yanqing, faced Mr. Lin, and feigned indifference as she said, “I suddenly feel like having fried chicken burgers outside. I wonder if the spicy chicken thigh burger that Qiuqiu and I used to eat at the shop in high school still tastes the same.”

Mr. Lin joined the conversation, “It’s still the same flavor; you don’t like spicy food, so why are you thinking about it?”

Lin Gantang: …As expected, you haven’t missed out on any of the foods young people like.

Lin Gantang was embarrassed, “Dad, food outside is high in oil and salt; you should eat less of it.”

Mr. Lin realized he had inadvertently revealed too much and immediately changed the subject, “I heard the master is back, staying at a nearby villa. Tangtang, you said last time you wanted to meet him. Should Dad try to see if he’s available?”

Lin Gantang knew he was awkwardly shifting the topic, but she was somewhat interested in what he mentioned, so she went along with it, “Can you get in touch with him?”

“Not sure, it depends on fate, but at least we know he’s around here.”

“Then where exactly is he around here?”

“How would I know? How could a master just casually reveal where he lives.”

Lin Gantang: You’ve spoken, yet it’s as if you’ve said nothing.

Numb to it, to ask further is to probe into the unfathomable secrets of a master, which we mere mortals are not casually entitled to inquire.

Lin Gantang felt relying on metaphysics was less reliable than medical science, at least for now, the new medication Yanqing was taking had managed to control his condition.

The rain had poured for over half an hour, and just as it stopped, Mr. Lin went outside for a walk. Lin Gantang sighed that her dad had more energy after retirement than before, which was good, but keeping up with him could be tiring.

“Dad, the roads are slippery after the rain; can’t we spare the time? Why not wait until they dry before going for a walk?” Lin Gantang complained, “At your age, I’m afraid of you falling.”

“You’re the one who’s going to fall. Look at my steps, how steady they are!” Mr. Lin refused to admit his age.

He leisurely admired the lingering mist around the mid-level of Mount Qinghe, hands clasped behind him.

“The air is cleaner after the rain, especially close to the mountain. There’s a high concentration of negative ions. Take a whiff, doesn’t it make you feel comfortable and pleasant?” Mr. Lin inhaled deeply with enjoyment.

“That’s the smell of actinomycetes dying, rotting, and decomposing.” Lin Gantang was expressionless.

With one sentence, all the freshness and beauty were shattered. Mr. Lin’s deep breath was only half completed when he almost choked, angered, he quickened his pace, “Let’s go, you keep Yanqing company. Don’t follow me.”

Lin Gantang quickly followed, “It’s rare for you to come over, of course I want to accompany you.”

So considerate? Mr. Lin was suspicious, “Are you short on money?”

“No lack of money, I have Yanqing’s bank cards.” Lin Gantang said.

Mr. Lin stopped and sized her up, “So, are you following me to brag that you’re richer than me?”

“…Dad, your thought process is really unique.” Wasn’t it you who asked the question? How did it turn into me bragging? Lin Gantang earnestly asked, “Dad, can’t we trust each other a little more?”

“We can. I trust you. I only told you the safe’s password.” Mr. Lin huffed, “Even your brother doesn’t know it.”

Lin Gantang muttered to herself, Oops, I don’t think I remembered to write down the password.

“What are you mumbling about?”

“Nothing.” Lin Gantang said, “I’m just saying, if you like the environment of the villa, why not stay a few more days?”

“The two of you want your own world, what would it look like if I stayed here?” Mr. Lin declined but then remembered something and asked, “By the way, has Yanqing’s dad gone back to work in Shengfang recently?”

“Not at all, he retired quite a while ago. Yanqing has been managing all the things in the group.”

Mr. Lin wondered aloud, “I’ve asked to meet him twice and he said he was busy, I thought he had gone back to work..”
