Zongman: The chef who is not doing his job

"Mom! Why are you here?!" Wang Lin looked at the beautiful woman in front of him in disbelief.

That’s right, the beautiful lady who suddenly appeared was Wang Lin’s mother Lin Xiuqin who was about to turn 40!

Wang Lin didn’t know how his mother did it. Her appearance had hardly changed over the years. Although his father had also aged, the process was very slow.

Plus, he's pretty good-looking, so he looks like a mature man. When he goes out with his wife, there's always the feeling of a girl falling in love with an older man.

But in fact, the two people are only two years apart.

"Can't I come to see you? Going abroad for the first time! How can I not worry about your mother?" Mother Lin Xiuqin smiled and continued to pull Wang Lin's ears and said:

"You are really my good son! You made me worry so little in the past! That's why I never paid much attention to you! I just realized it today! I really don't understand you at all! Grandmaster level martial arts cultivation!? Are you practicing killing skills? What are you going to do? Huh!?"

Wang Lin trembled with fear. That was right, he kept many secrets from his parents, well, mainly from his mother.

Because Dad is almost the same as Lan Xiusheng, as long as Wang Lin doesn't really cause trouble, he basically doesn't care, because he knows Wang Lin, who has always been mature in his thinking and handles things in a measured way.

Hong Aidi, who was standing by, saw Wang Lin being pulled by the ears, looking weak, pitiful and helpless, and couldn't bear it any more. She stepped forward and persuaded him, "Sister Qin, I don't think Wang Lin is hiding this from you on purpose. Give him a chance to explain first..."

"My mother is scolding me! What does it have to do with you? Just say less!" Unexpectedly, Wang Lin didn't appreciate it at all and interrupted her directly.

Wang Lin knew that this young lady was trying to smooth things over for him, but how could I explain to my mother? Explain that I had a breakthrough in the Xiantian realm after a desperate fight with a grandmaster some time ago?

Explain that I actually have a system? Can I obtain the power or something of the heavens and the worlds?

Before Hong Aidie had time to get angry and dislike Wang Lin for taking her kindness for granted, she was interrupted by Wang Lin's mother's behavior.

"You have no respect for your parents! What are you doing? This is your aunt! What do you want to do? You've become more capable, right? Yelling at your elders? You've achieved the Grandmaster level, right? You don't take my words seriously, do you? What a sin! Your own son doesn't want his biological mother! Wuuuuu..."

Wang Lin's mother just stood beside Wang Lin pretending to be serious, covering her face and crying.

Both Wang Lin and Hong Aidi were numb!

It was only this time that Wang Lin realized what his mother said, while Hong Aidi couldn't believe that the tough young lady who dared to break up with her old father back then had now become someone who was proficient in tea art.

"...I was wrong, Mom. Let's go into the store and talk about what we have to say..." Wang Lin didn't care about anything else. Seeing that more and more people were watching, he could only hurriedly pull his mother and Hong Aidi into the store.

Well, that's just right! Erina and Hisako seem to be traveling with Xiaolan, so there's no need to worry for now.

As soon as she entered the store, Wang Lin's mother Lin Xiuqin stopped pretending, wiped her nonexistent tears, looked at the decorations in the store, and said, "This apartment that the Bai family gave you is quite nice! Did you decorate it?"

"Yes..." Wang Lin nodded with a wry smile.

"Okay, you have your secret, and I've known it for a long time, but I never asked you before. But today you have to give me an explanation!" Wang Lin's mother didn't say anything more and went straight to the point.

"Uh..." Wang Lin looked bitter. How to explain?

"Can't tell?" Lin Xiuqin asked with a frown, then she seemed to suddenly understand something, shook her head and said, "If you can't tell, then forget it."

"Ah?!" Wang Lin was stunned. His mother actually let him go like this? !

"Don't think I'll let you go just like that!" Lin Xiuqin continued calmly.

(Sure enough, there’s no way my mom would let me off so easily!) The corners of Wang Lin’s mouth twitched wildly, but he still bowed his head and admitted his mistake honestly: “Hehehe! Thank you, mom, for being magnanimous! If you have any opinions, please feel free to raise them! (Whether you listen or not is another matter)”

“…I only have one request!” Lin Xiuqin’s face inexplicably showed a complex expression of seriousness, pleading, sadness, etc., and she almost pleaded with Wang Lin: “Keep winning while you’re alive!”

“…Of course!” Wang Lin was slightly stunned. Although he did not understand the meaning of his mother’s expression, he still arrogantly put his hands on his waist and laughed triumphantly: “Haha! How can I, your son, get the reputation in vain?! There is no way I can lose!”

"Being alive and keeping winning are obviously two different things..." Hong Aidie complained leisurely.

Then he was glared at by Wang Lin and his mother! How could you be so tactless! You ruined the atmosphere between my mother and me!

"Okay, Mom, I agree to your request! But can you first explain to me what this aunt who suddenly appeared is?" Wang Lin pointed at Hong Aidi beside him and asked his mother leisurely.

Lin Xiuqin and Hong Aidi started with the same stroke, one left and one right, neither wanting to explain.

Just then, someone else came!

“…If they don’t want to say it, let me explain it to you. After all, it’s an old man like me who caused the trouble!” A middle-aged man wearing a Zhongshan suit walked into Wang Lin’s shop.

But Wang Lin noticed that the man who suddenly came in was already gray-haired and had bright and restrained pupils, which showed that he was an old man who had the secret to maintaining his youthful appearance!

Moreover, Wang Lin knew this person!

"You are... Senior Hong Anguo?!" Wang Lin raised his eyebrows: "Didn't Commander Nakiri say that you wouldn't be able to come over in a short time?"

Actually, it was Erina who said that.

The old man with white hair and a youthful face, Hong Anguo, looked at Wang Lin's face with eyes full of memories, but he quickly came to his senses, chuckled, nodded and explained: "I want to see my own grandson! Who can stop me?! With just a neon, they can't stop me!"

"...In fact, after my father knew the news about you, he was already preparing to come over, so he urged him every day, and the time that was originally supposed to take a few days was brought forward a lot." Miss Hong Aidie once again leisurely revealed the truth.

Hong Anguo couldn't help but glare at his adopted daughter. He raised such a silly girl in vain! Who did he learn this habit of always exposing the truth from? !

"...Wait, let me sort it out first." Wang Lin said while holding his forehead. He was really a little confused now. What was going on?

The three of them cooperated silently without saying anything. The store fell into silence, giving Wang Lin plenty of time to think and organize his thoughts.

His mother said that Hong Aidi was his aunt, but Hong Aidi was the adopted daughter of Hong Anguo. And before that, Nakiri Senzaemon said that Hong Anguo's daughter ran away from home in her early years and her whereabouts were unknown. So, in fact, his mother was Hong Anguo's long-lost daughter? !

WC! This development is so ridiculous! Previously, when Wang Lin heard from Nakiri Senzaemon that Hong Anguo had a daughter who ran away from home, he had thought about whether it might be his mother, but he quickly denied it.

How can this be so outrageous? You are writing a novel!

(Hong Anguo is my grandpa?!) Wang Lin was still a little confused! How come the mountain he thought he had to move away became his backer?

"...That's not right! Mom! Isn't your last name Lin?" Wang Lin still turned around and asked his biological mother with a bit of unwillingness.

Lin Xiuqin's eyes dodged: "...your grandmother's surname is Lin, and when I ran away from home, I changed to your grandmother's surname. My actual name is Hong Xiuqin."

Wang Lin: "Then my dad..."

"Your father...should know. After all, both parents' names are needed when applying for a marriage certificate." Lin Xiuqin, oh, Hong Xiuqin explained honestly with a well-behaved smile on her face.

"Come to think of it, your father was quite nervous during that time. He was afraid that his father would rush over and beat him up after finding out." Hong Xiuqin said with a smile, covering her mouth.

Hong Anguo silently clenched his fists. If it weren't for the tight schedule and the fact that he wanted to see his grandson first, he would have gone to Zhonghai to give Wang Rongguo (Wang Lin's father) a beating! It would have been fine if he had kidnapped his daughter! But he didn't even bring his grandson back to see him!

"Then my dear grandpa still..." Wang Lin came back to his senses and looked at Hong Anguo leisurely and asked.

Although he had planned to go abroad to avoid the elders from the Liu and Bai families, being tricked into going abroad for no apparent reason was another matter!

This is a question of passive and active!

“Ahem…” When talking about this, Hong Anguo, who had always looked kind, became embarrassed, but he still explained honestly: “This… was indeed an accident.”

"I just heard from the teacher who reported to me at that time that there were two students with divine talents in your class. I didn't expect it, so I casually said that I was looking forward to their performance. As a result, the other vice president took the initiative to change the quota."
