ak."Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!"When you go to the emperor's court, remember to be wary of people's hearts... You know why ancient capitals always emphasized fen..."Mom, good morning..." Lin Yanqin quickly tugged at her nightgown. "Is my appearance alright"

Seeing her like this, Madam Lin understood most of it: "Yunfan is back Why is he sleeping in the study"

He came back too late, probably afraid of waking us...

Mrs. Lin frowned and said, "Seeing him every other day is rare enough, and he often returns late at night. Could he be out with shady characters"

Uh

Lin Yanqin tilted her head and thought for a moment, it's quite normal for the Mu family to have "ghosts" around.

"Oh my, look at you like that..." Mrs. Lin glared at the study door with exasperation. "Work is tiring so take a good rest! Young people don't know how to moderate themselves!"

Lin Yanqin's face was about to burn, she waved her hand quickly and said to go back to change her clothes, rushing away.

Mrs. Lin raised her hand to knock on the study door, hesitated for a moment, and then quietly walked away.

Well, no mother-in-law wouldn't love her son-in-law.

》》》

"Today's your birthday, and it's rare for everyone to get together. We booked a table at the National Guest House. Let's all have a meal together." Mrs. Lin adjusted her hair. As a hostess, she had a lot of official duties to perform, so she looked a little tired.

Lin Yanqin was usually very obedient. She would do whatever her mother arranged.

"But it's time to go out, why is Yunfan still not up" Mrs. Lin frowned and said.

"Mom, you go first. Yunfan and I will come later, please, please." Lin Yanqin clasped her hands together, shrinking her shoulders and acting cute.

Mrs. Lin sighed, walking in two batches meant doubling the security force. That would add a lot of trouble for the security personnel, wouldn't it

It's alright, alright. Who am I to say anything After all, my son-in-law is also a difficult person to please!

The Lin family members are all very accomplished. After all, they come from a prominent red family background. Although they may have some ingrained arrogance and sense of superiority, their upbringing and character are still quite good.

For the late-arriving couple, Mu Yunfan and Lin Yanqin, most people expressed understanding.

Even well-informed relatives whispered, "I heard the brother-in-law brought back a national treasure yesterday"

"Ah... it's already been handed in..." Mu Yunfan let out a yawn.

"tsk tsk, thought I could get a head start..."

"That's right, sister-in-law. I heard that Yunfan sold for 72.10 million yesterday, a record high for this kind of auction item. It should be on the news soon." Lin Jia Xiao Gu said to Mrs. Lin.

"To do one's utmost for the country is nothing to brag about." Madam Lin said it seriously, but her eyes were soft when she looked at her nephew.

“By the way,” Lin Jiaggu’s gaze shifted to Lin Yanqin: “Yanqin, one of your classmates from when you studied abroad came to China for development. He found me this morning and asked me to introduce you. You haven’t seen him in a long time, have you”

Lin Yanqin was taken aback: "Which classmate"

"His father is a descendant of German nobility, and his mother used to be a minister in our country's government before retiring early due to health reasons. That's her..." Lin's aunt leaned close to Mrs. Lin and whispered a few words.

Mrs. Lin frowned slightly and said, "…they are all descendants of the older generation, then we should meet them."

"There's someone waiting outside the hotel. They can't get in without permission," Aunt Lin said as if it were nothing unusual.

Most of these red families' descendants know each other from a young age, and the older generation are all comrades who fought to establish their power base. They have deep connections and understanding of human relations.

Mu Yunfan rarely participated in these relationship maintenance efforts within the Lin family. He was currently so exhausted that he could barely speak.

Lin Yanqin had no say in the matter. Seeing her elders discuss inviting someone, she couldn't offer any input either.

Then, she lowered her head and whispered to her husband, "Yunfan, where is Xia Qiao staying at home recently I want to go find her to play."

"...She's also busy, running around all the time. Why don't you just find an excuse to go back to your small building for a while You'll be able to catch her there eventually." Mu Yunfan said with a yawn.

Soon, Lin Yanqin's classmate was brought in by the staff. As soon as she entered, she warmly walked towards Lin Yanqin.

"Yan Qin, long time no see!"

Lin Yanqin was slightly taken aback, almost blurting out, "Who are you"

Mu Yunfan raised an eyebrow—wasn't this the young master he had seen at the auction yesterday So it was an "acquaintance".

"Hello," Lin Yanqin replied politely.

As soon as Mrs. Lin saw the look in her daughter's eyes, she knew what was going on – this classmate was clearly looking to build connections and use their relationship for personal gain.

"Madam, my name is Erich Goethe..." Erich respectfully introduced himself to Mrs. Lin.

Mu Yunfan chuckled and said, “What a long name.”

"Psst...the longer a foreigner's name, the more ancient their family is, and he even has a VON! That's a noble surname..." Lin Yanqin whispered to her husband.

"This, your name sounds very pleasant, but how should I address you more appropriately" Mrs. Lin asked with a smile. In her position, she couldn't use English names like young people.

"Oh, my Chinese name is Feng Fugui, Madam."

... That name is quite festive.

Lin Yanqin covered her mouth to stifle a laugh and even kicked Mu Yunfan's leg, signaling him not to laugh out loud.

This student is very good at Chinese, but apparently doesn't understand much about Chinese culture. "Rich" and "noble" are indeed the best words to show off one's family background and status, but using them in a name greatly diminishes their effect.

Because I came in a hurry, I only prepared one birthday present...” He took out a small box.

Even without looking, one can tell it is a precious jewel.

Lin Yanqin quickly stood up and politely refused: "I don't accept any birthday gifts, thank you for your kindness, I appreciate it."

"Oh, but this is your favorite emerald. I just took it yesterday." Feng Fu Gui's classmate was very heartbroken.

"My favorite is emerald" Lin Yanqin's mind popped up a big question mark. How could I not know this about myself

"That's enough, Fubi. Now that you give Yanqin any valuable items, it's just adding trouble for her, understand" Mu Yunfan couldn't help but speak up: "These luxurious jewels are better sent to your girlfriend from yesterday."

"Have you guys seen it yesterday" Aunt Lin asked curiously.

"Yesterday, at the auction house, this gentleman greeted me, but I didn't expect him to follow me here." Mu Yunfan smiled.

"Since you're here, why don't we have a meal together You don't need to bring any gifts." Madam Lin spoke.

Where is the Lin family situated To be able to sit in this position, even the most valuable things are just floating clouds in their eyes.

Because Lin Yanqin had her mother, Mrs. Lin, seated at the upper seat and Mu Yunfan at the lower seat, this Feng Fu貴 classmate was arranged to sit next to Mu Yunfan at the lower seat.

Feng Fugui was very surprised because he found that at this small banquet hall, all the tables were full of dignified and elegant people with extraordinary temperament and polite manners, except for Mu Yunfan.

This man, slumped against the back of his chair with his head drooping in a half-sleep daze, who didn't even bother tying his tie, was actually Lin family’s rising star son-in-law!

Moreover, the people in this hall all turned a blind eye to his lack of etiquette and refrained from criticizing him.

"Yan Qin, you... you didn't even tell your classmates about your marriage We were all looking forward to attending your wedding." Feng Fu Gui couldn't help but go past Mu Yun Fan and strike up a conversation with Lin Yan Qin.

"Huh I didn't have a grand wedding, only family knew about it, no banquet or anything." Lin Yanqin replied.

"Then you must accept my gift. This is a wedding gift from classmates, and it's a very rare emerald." Feng Fugui was not giving up, chasing after the gift-giver.

He opened the box, and inside was a huge emerald uncut stone set with a luxurious necklace of high-grade diamonds.

"When did I start liking emeralds" Lin Yanqin was baffled and waved her hand again to refuse, "Our family absolutely cannot accept any gifts, no matter how valuable or insignificant they are; besides, I don't like emeralds either..."

"Then what's that in your hand!" Feng classmate relentlessly pressed.

Just now, a flash of emerald green passed over Lin Yanqin's wrist.

"I said, you're rushing to give gifts like this, won't your female companion from yesterday be jealous" Mu Yunfan sighed.

Mu Xiaoye was too lazy to argue or be jealous, but these people were really tactless.

"Such blindingly flashy jewelry wouldn't suit Yan Qin. It would be more suitable for someone with a fiery figure, wearing eye-catching outfits, low-cut to the hips, and slits reaching to the armpits... Just like what you were wearing yesterday." Mu Xiaoye gestured with his hand.

What kind of clothes is this It makes people can't help but imagine.

When Mrs. Lin heard this, her hand trembled as she held the teacup, and her evaluation of this classmate Feng Fu貴 had plummeted.

“I… that’s just someone who accompanied me to the auction…”

"Besides, you spent money to buy this kind of thing to give to another person's wife It seems like besides learning Chinese, you also need to learn more about Chinese etiquette and morality." Mu Yunfan scoffed.

Feng Fugui's face was a little embarrassed, but he had lived abroad for many years. He shrugged and chuckled self-deprecatingly before getting off the stage.

Mu Yunfan held Yan Qin's hand, pulling it out slightly.

A jade bracelet, as vivid as a blue lake, adorned the fair wrist. This imperial green color is rare and difficult to find, even with money.

It was just such a bracelet, which set off Lin Yanqin's skin like snow. Moreover, she had a restrained and noble temperament, gentle yet powerful aura.

It is said that a similar piece of imperial green jadeite ore was priced at 1.2 billion when it was mined from the mine, and the bracelet's material is the best and most flawless part of the raw stone. Whether in terms of price or fate, it is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Everything on Yanqin's body is naturally what I gave her. Whether it's expensive or not doesn't matter, the most important thing is the four words: legitimate and proper, understand"

Lin Yanqin took Mu Yunfan's arm and smiled, "You just said to buy me a craft from a street stall, I like it too."

She then kissed Mu Xiaoye's face.

Mu Yunfan feigned anger with a smile in his eyes: "Be reserved, or your mother-in-law will say I've corrupted you again."

"Hee hee~"

This loving couple's display of affection is so intense that even onlookers with goosebumps wouldn't dare utter a word. They can only silently lower their heads and gaze at their teacups.

Mrs. Lin also turned a blind eye. It was too difficult for families like theirs to have a happy marriage.

Before, she was always worried that Mu Yunfan was a wild boy, with an unknown background and no prospects. He had no assets, and his family held no social status. They were all a bunch of "idle people"...

Mu Xiaoye's mouth twitched. He only knew after getting married that his mother-in-law disliked him so much.

But, marriages of poverty are not necessarily happy, and marriages of affluence do not always bring happiness either.

After her daughter got married, she always seemed radiant and cheerful, full of laughter and joy. She had shed much of her past restraint, and the reasons for disapproval gradually faded away.

Mu Yunfan was an extraordinary talent, able to both grace the stage and wield brutality. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He actually got along quite well with Mrs. Lin's only son.

Toasting each other with cups, replacing wine with tea.

After the food was served, the relatives started their usual idle chatter. Mu Yunfan appeared bored and listless, but he sat steadily between Lin Yanqin and Feng Fugui.

Every time classmate Feng Fugui tries to start a conversation, he ends up getting roasted and his heart silently gets hurt.

After a while, Lin Yanqin's older brother, Lin Yanhua, also arrived.

"Happy birthday, wild child," Lin Yanhuan rubbed Lin Yanqin's head and sat down on the right side of their mother.

Mu Yunfan leaned back slightly, narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Yanhua.

As I passed him just now, there was a faint... metallic scent of blood.

"Brother-in-law, your face doesn't look right." Mu Yunfan lightly tapped the table, his eyes cold as he looked at Lin Yanhuan.

Lin Yanhuan's expression stiffened slightly, she gave Mu Yunfan a look to tell him to shut up.

Mrs. Lin immediately turned her head to look at her son, and asked with concern, "What's wrong "

"It's fine." Lin Yanhuan replied faintly.

Outside the banquet hall's balcony, Mu Yunfan bit on an unlit cigarette, listlessly leaning against the marble railing, blowing on the cold wind.

"...Give me one." Lin Yanhuan walked silently to his side.

"There's no fire." Mu Yunfan turned his body, leaning against the railing, and glanced sideways at Lin Yanhuan who was standing in the shadows. He reminded her, "Besides, smoke can't stop bleeding or pain."

Lin Yanhuan chuckled softly: "You're right, I can't hide it from you."

"What's wrong If you're injured, a bunch of people are probably going to be in trouble. But I haven't heard that anyone around you has been removed This injury, was it done by 'someone'" Mu Yunfan snorted.

Lin Yanhua nodded silently.

"Oh my, I just don't understand, what was your father thinking, rushing to shove a woman onto you... It's all your fault, you can't even find a wife yourself!"

Lin Yanhuan chuckled softly: “I also want to know why, this woman, there are too many mysteries on her body…”

"So digging became a kind of fun Come on~~ Your domineering CEO persona isn't quite right..." Mu Yunfan helplessly approached his cousin, raising his hand to pat him on the shoulder.

"Which cold and aloof domineering president would be made so disheveled by a woman"

Lin Yanhuan hummed softly, without answering.

Sometimes, in his heart, he would also secretly envy Mu Yunfan a little.

This brother-in-law, smoking a cigarette and blowing on the cold wind, looks out at the waves. He can be as surging and unrestrained as a river, but also as calm and deep as a pool.

Neither money, treasures, fame, status, nor even his family could bind him.

He could only live for his own love.

“Well, if you have time to worry about me, why not worry about national policies instead” Lin Yanhuan said suddenly.

"Huh" What do you mean

Government policy？？？

"The other day, I bumped into a certain minister and we chatted about policies. He said that a representative had submitted a proposal for fully removing the three-child limit—"

"Go to hell!"

The father likes the girl very much.

"Get out! You won't give birth!"
