Upon hearing Jiang Wan Yu’s question, Chi Zaozao became extremely excited.
“He’s a top student! No, I should say he’s a genius! Wan Yu, he was the top scorer in Beijing’s college entrance exam and a brilliant student at Jinghua University! He’s exactly the kind of boyfriend I’ve always dreamed of!” Chi Zaozao exclaimed with great excitement.
Jiang Wan Yu fell silent.
She was well aware of Chi Zaozao’s fixation on academic performance.
Back in school, she had always ranked first, while Chi Zaozao consistently ranked last. Some people suspected they were close friends because Chi Zaozao admired her and wanted to be friends with her, given the stark difference in their grades.
They had indeed become close friends because of this and had remained so for over twenty years.
Thinking about Chi Zaozao’s persistence in academic excellence, Jiang Wan Yu couldn’t help but smile. “Congratulations!”
“Hehe, thank you! I believe you’re not the type to forgive a scoundrel easily. I’ll wait for you to come back and explain what happened,” Chi Zaozao replied.
“Alright!” Jiang Wan Yu felt warmed by Chi Zaozao’s unwavering trust.
Having a friend who believed in her unconditionally was truly rare.
After ending the call, Jiang Wan Yu looked at Lin Yi Chen. “Chi Zaozao is no longer single. Her boyfriend… is Wei Zi Yue from your company. What can you tell me about his character? Do you know him well?”
Although Jiang Wan Yu had a positive initial impression of Wei Zi Yue, she believed that judging a person’s character required more than just a first meeting.
However, men could often assess other men more accurately.
Lin Yi Chen raised an eyebrow in response to Jiang Wan Yu’s question. He nodded and said, “Yes, he’s a good person, and you can rest assured about his family background. His father is a nationally recognized researcher, and their family is quite reputable.”
Jiang Wan Yu was slightly surprised by this information. She then nodded and said, “That’s reassuring to hear.”
When it came to evaluating men, other men were usually more reliable judges.
“Alright, now that she’s no longer single, she probably won’t keep bothering us in our private moments,” Lin Yi Chen added.
And what’s most annoying is that she always badmouths me in front of Xiaoyu!
Hmph!
Now that she has a boyfriend, she probably won’t have as much time to gossip about other people’s relationships, right?
Listening to Lin Yi Chen’s somewhat resentful words, Jiang Wan Yu couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
What did he mean by “bothering their private moments”?
Chi Zaozao had only made one phone call last night. Was that too much?
Just then, Lin Yi Chen’s phone rang. It was a call from Xu Ce.
Lin Yi Chen answered and Xu Ce asked, “Boss, have you and Mrs. Lin woken up? Little Master misses you both.”
He immediately replied, “We’re awake. Where are you guys? We’ll be there soon.”
It had been two days since they arrived in the Maldives, and during this time, they hadn’t spent quality time with Dian Dian.
It looks like they have to spend some quality time with him today.
Upon hearing Lin Yi Chen’s words, Xu Ce felt relieved and hung up the phone. He then watched Dian Dian, who was playing with sand not far away.
Dian Dian hadn’t explicitly mentioned missing them, but Xu Ce could tell that the little guy was feeling a bit lonely. Despite his young age, he was quite considerate.
How could Xu Ce leave him alone to play with sand?
If that were the case, they might as well have stayed home instead of traveling all the way to the Maldives!
Jiang Wan Yu and Lin Yi Chen soon arrived.
Seeing them, Dian Dian’s eyes lit up with joy. He left the plastic shovel he was holding and ran towards them.
“Mommy, Daddy! You’re here? Mommy, is your health better now?” Dian Dian asked with concern.
Jiang Wan Yu’s heart melted. “Mommy is all better now. I’m sorry for not being able to spend time with you these past two days.”
Dian Dian immediately shook his head. “It’s because Mommy wasn’t feeling well.”
Lin Yi Chen smiled warmly and said, “To make it up to Dian Dian, how about Mommy and Daddy spending the whole day with you today?”
“Really?” Dian Dian exclaimed with joy.
“Of course! Daddy keeps his promises!” Lin Yi Chen replied.
“Yay! That’s great! Let’s go play soccer! I really wanted to play, but there was no one to play with me!” Dian Dian pointed to a group of people playing soccer nearby.
“Alright! We’ll go play right now!” Lin Yi Chen agreed enthusiastically.

Meanwhile, Xu Shi Chang and the others held the transfer contract for 20% of the shares of the Lin Group. They wore happy smiles.
“Thank you Mr. Lin for your generosity. From now on, the Xu and Lin families won’t owe each other anything!” Xu Shi Chang said.
Lin Haowei’s expression turned cold as he replied, “You better keep your word. Otherwise, even with your Xu family’s influence in the underworld, I won’t be afraid of you.”
Was he worried about Xu Wen Hu’s godfather?
No, he was worried about the one in the capital!
If the Xu family angered the wrong person and they sought help from the influential figure in the capital, it wouldn’t matter if it was one Lin family or ten Xu families, they might not be able to handle it.
Xu Shi Chang quickly reassured him and said, “Mr. Lin, don’t worry, I am not someone who breaks their promises.”
Then he asked, “By the way, Mr. Lin, how late did Lin Yi Chen wait for us at Maria Church yesterday? He should know by now that the engagement between our two families is no longer valid, right?”
Hearing this, Lin Haowei sneered and replied, “Whether he knows or not is none of my concern. He and I have no connection now!”
Hmph, did they want to use that ungrateful son to provoke him?
Unfortunately, he didn’t care!
So what if he was getting older?
Outside, there were heaps of women willing to bear his children!
Would losing one Lin Yi Chen make a difference?
