Chapter 1324: Chapter 587: Fortunately, It Was Just a False Alarm

Huh?

No, no, no, no, no?!

What did Lin Li just call me?

Dad?

No way, right?

I’m just an uncle trying to give you a little push, but you straight up want my life, my house, my car, my only daughter, the right to take care of me when I’m old... grass grass grass, isn’t this too much, too exaggerated at once!!

This is not how you play cards. You can go for my right to play a card, but your first card should be a single 3, not starting off with a bomb!

Your card playing is way too good!

Chen Zhongping, regaining his senses, almost couldn’t stand, legs faltering a bit, and immediately, despite these details, pointed his trembling finger at Lin Li, his voice urgent:

"No! Don’t call me that!!"

"Why are you suddenly calling me dad? You’ve reached that stage already? What a joke! I didn’t acknowledge this relationship! I don’t admit it!"

"Getting through this should be harsh punishment, what does it mean to act first and report later?"

"I don’t accept it! I don’t allow it! I don’t believe it!"

"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"

Chen Zhongping, excitedly using both palms towards Lin Li, although shouting retreat, each shout made him retreat himself further.

Lin Li, Chen Yu Ying, Song Xin: "?"

Chen Yu Ying hadn’t been focusing on Bai Bufan just now. In fact, she only heard Lin Li’s words "dad" when he spoke, but even so, she wasn’t as shocked as Chen Zhongping and found it somewhat amusing.

She felt Lin Li did it on purpose.

As for Song Xin, trailing a step behind Chen Zhongping, initially startled by her husband’s reaction, but understanding what her husband was saying later, her response became more straightforward—quickly moving forward, beaming, her gaze shifting between Lin Li and her husband.

Interesting, she wanted to see the drama unfold!

Occasionally glancing at her daughter—Lin Li always this bold?

As for Lin Li himself, his reaction—oops, seems like a misunderstanding! Haha, but it’s fun, look at Zhongping’s reaction... No, no, it’s not the time to laugh now, this is a big misunderstanding! Haha, but it’s really fun...

—No helplessness towards the misunderstanding, more like secretly amused.

After all, this really isn’t his fault.

Not forgetting to punch Bai Bufan, the actual instigator trying hard to suppress laughter, to make him hold it in.

"Uncle, you’re mistaken,"

Seeing Chen Zhongping retreating almost out of Nansang County, and with everyone casting curious glances at him, Lin Li began to explain:

"Bufan just asked me to guess if a stock would rise or fall, I said it would fall, as in the stock will ’fall’."

I’ve been without a dad for so long, I’m used to it, how could I suddenly take on a dad?

When the other four women present learned the truth, age determined the volume—younger ones laughed quietly, while older ones laughed loudly.

Chen Zhongping: "?"

Chen Zhongping froze again in action, after digesting Lin Li’s words, despite everyone around laughing now, realizing the truth made him not embarrassed or angry. Instead, the purest emotion within him was the relief of surviving a disaster.

The level of relief was equivalent to "waking up during surgery to find the patient’s anesthesia hasn’t ended, unaware you had fallen asleep during the operation, so they won’t report you post-surgery," a super relief.

Yeah, yeah, yeah! Relief from the psyche, I’m feeling good again!

Thinking about it now, Chen Zhongping realized he was just worrying too much, a false alarm.

His daughter hasn’t even dated yet, how could he worry she’d bring back a guy suddenly and have the guy call him dad!?

Sigh, the concern mainly came from a similar worry Chen Zhongping had, even having nightmares about it. Lin Li was always the number one rival and hidden threat in Chen Zhongping’s mind... all these elements combined made Chen Zhongping instantly react thinking Lin Li was serious when he heard him calling.

To put it simply, it’s easy to get confused due to concern.

"Hahaha, so that’s it, what a joke,"

Chen Zhongping laughed, waving his hand, his expression and tone as if nothing had happened:

"Stocks, stocks are quite interesting. I’ve studied them for a while, if you two are interested, we can chat about it later."

"Alright, even if chatting, you can’t keep them standing here accompanying you." Song Xin spoke up seeing the fun was over.

"Yes, to the living room, it’s warm in the living room."

Prompted by his wife, Chen Zhongping nodded, leading the four youngsters through a bright short corridor to a spacious and elegant living room.

Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows was a carefully tended winter garden, inside was warm and cozy.

The coffee table was already filled with exquisite fruit plates, nuts, and snacks, the aroma alluring, everyone took seats on the comfortable big sofa as advised, the soft leather enveloping their bodies, indeed comfortable.

Lin Li was considering some ways to cash out a large amount of gold and find a suitable reason to inform Wu Min to move into a big villa like this.

Song Xin turned to grab four thick, full red envelopes prepared earlier, walked in front of each person, and handed them over with a kind smile:

"Here, happy New Year, auntie gives you New Year’s money, for good luck."

The four hurried to stand and thank, receiving the envelopes with both hands, the heavy feel indicating the generosity of the giver.

But, according to informed sources, a certain middle-aged male tried to swap the paper money in the red envelopes given to two youngsters for yen, intending to express "I’ll treat them like Japanese", but fortunately, this attempt was discovered before the plot succeeded.
