The Prodigal Son: I Can Foresee the Future

The two of us must have a big meal at noon to celebrate. How about going to Hong Ning's Tianyang Hotel?" Zhou Chong said.

"You want to show off to Hong Ning?" Lin Ming said with a smile.

"You know what, that brat is much richer than me, always showing off in front of me. This time I must let him see what Grandpa Zhou can do!"

Zhou Chong saw Lin Ming staring at him, and smiled awkwardly: "Ahem, it's Grandpa Zhou of Hong Ning."

"I won't go, I have to eat with Xuan Xuan at noon." Lin Ming shook his head.

Since Chen Jia agreed to let Lin Ming "come in", it has become a matter of course to deliver food to Xuan Xuan at noon every day.

"Brother Lin, it's just a meal. She can eat enough at home." Zhou Chong was a little disappointed.

Lin Ming frowned and said coldly: "I will pretend you didn't say that."

Zhou Chong was shocked and immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing.

"Then, Brother Lin, you don't have to bother. I will call Hong Ning and ask him to prepare a few dishes. You can go and pack them up and take them away. I will treat my niece."

"No need!"

Lin Ming snorted, turned around and took a taxi away.

"My stinky mouth!"

Zhou Chong slapped himself hard and regretted it.

Knowing that Lin Ming cared so much about his wife and children, he still said these nonsense. He was really arrogant!

...

11:30 noon.

Lin Ming came to Anju Community again.

He packed a few more dishes and sent two to Wang Lanmei across the street. Then, with Wang Lanmei's embarrassed look, he came to Xuanxuan.

"Dad!"

The little girl was even happier to see Lin Ming than to see Lin Jia, and she threw herself into Lin Ming's arms.

"Are you hungry? Come on, eat, they are all your favorite food." Lin Ming said with a smile.

"Dad is so nice, I love you!" Xuan Xuan cheered.

Looking at the little girl wolfing down the food, Lin Ming hesitated for a moment, and finally took out his mobile phone and dialed Chen Jia's number.

"What's the matter?" Chen Jia answered quickly.

"There is something I want to tell you."

Lin Ming pursed his lips and said, "This morning, I made nearly 200 million."

There was no sound from the other end of the phone for a long time.

"Chen Jia, are you listening?" Lin Ming asked tentatively.

"Why are you telling me this? You made 10 billion, that's just your own ability, it has nothing to do with me." Chen Jia said.

You can hear that her tone is trembling.

After all, she is just an ordinary office worker. It would be strange if she could remain calm when she suddenly heard Lin Ming say that he made nearly 200 million!

"Chen Jia, I know you don't care how much money I make now, but 200 million is a number I never dared to think about before. When the money came in, the person I wanted to tell the most was you!"

Chen Jia didn't speak.

"When I was dating you, I also dreamed that after graduation, I would work harder and make endless money to buy you the car you like, the cosmetics and bags you like, and the house you like..."

"Later, I started a business, and all my dreams were shattered. Reality taught me a hard lesson."

"I was arrogant and couldn't bear the blow. I vented all my anger and resentment on you..."

"I'm a bastard, an absolute bastard!"

"I don't dare to pray for you to forgive me, but I just hope that you won't refuse my kindness to you and Xuanxuan anymore, okay?"

Lin Ming spoke softly, slowly reciting the words hidden deep in his heart.

Chen Jia rarely interrupted him, nor did she hang up the phone. She seemed to be just listening quietly.

"When we divorced, you begged me to give you the custody of Xuanxuan, and I agreed."

Lin Ming murmured, "Now, it's my turn to beg you, beg me to be nicer to you, even better..."

"Lin Ming, you're right, you're a bastard!!!"

Chen Jia suddenly screamed, as if she had used up all her strength.

Sobbing, feeling wronged.

Then, the phone was hung up.

Lin Ming took a deep breath.

Although Chen Jia was scolding him, he knew that the past and the future were the scales in Chen Jia's heart.

If Chen Jia had always lived in the past, then starting today, she should have leaned towards the future.

After Xuanxuan took a nap, Lin Ming reluctantly left the Anju community.

On the way back to the apartment, they had just parted not long ago.

Zhou Chong called again.

"What's up?" Lin Ming pretended to be dissatisfied.

"Hey, Brother Lin, I miss you again!" Zhou Chong said with a sneer.

"If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have something to say, fart quickly." Lin Ming was so angry that he laughed.

"Didn't you ask me to help you prepare some mooncakes and gifts a few days ago? I have prepared them here. I will send them to you right away?" Zhou Chong said.

"Okay, come to the apartment." Lin Ming said.

"Okay!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ming shook his head.

He actually knew that Zhou Chong didn't mean that, but he really didn't want to hear any words that didn't care about Chen Jia and Xuan Xuan, even if it was said by someone else.

After scaring Zhou Chong this time, I believe this guy won't dare to do it again in the future.

...

Back to the apartment, Zhou Chong was already waiting here.

He didn't go upstairs, but just stood outside the car with a lot of things waiting for Lin Ming.

"Just one sentence, and the great Master Zhou behaved so humbly. Should I show off to others?" Lin Ming said with a smile as he walked.

"Brother Lin, I was indeed abrupt before. I promise you that I will definitely put my sister-in-law and niece first in the future!" Zhou Chong said.

"Get lost. They are my wife and children. Do I need you to put them first?" Lin Ming scolded with a smile.

The two chatted for a while. Zhou Chong had something else to do. Seeing that Lin Ming was no longer angry, he left with peace of mind.

Lin Ming did not ask him how much these gifts cost. Zhou Chong would definitely say that he was hypocritical. After all, he had just made 200 million with him this morning.

At about 4 pm, Lin Ming took a taxi to Lao Chen's house.

Lao Chen's family lives in the county seat of Moling County under the jurisdiction of Landao City. It takes about half an hour from the apartment.

When Lin Ming arrived here, the sky had gradually darkened.

The autumn evening brought a hint of coolness.

Lin Ming didn't know whether he was nervous or really cold, but after he got off the car, he shivered for no reason.

"For what I did in the past few years, the old couple deserved to scold me to death!"

Lin Ming "comforted" himself like this, and then, with the determination to die, he walked into the Gardener Community where Lao Chen's family lived.

Building 6, Unit 2, Room 502.

Lin Ming knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

The voice of his ex-mother-in-law, Lv Yunmei, came from the room.

Lin Ming didn't speak.

It wasn't until the door opened that Lin Ming spoke in the face of Lv Yunmei's panic.

"Mom."
