Chapter 298: 135, head to America! Make money and fire the first shot in the counterattack against Chen Shanhe!_7
If it had been before, Lin Mo would definitely have faced the danger alone.
But recently, having spent a lot of time with his family, Lin Mo had gradually realized that in most situations, his family could provide him with very timely help.
What’s most important is that family can be trusted unconditionally!
Moreover, going to America was not about confronting Chen Shanhe; there was no life-threatening danger, so it was entirely feasible to take his family along for some fun, treating it as a vacation abroad.
Having addressed his concerns, Li Jinwen nodded and said, “Okay! I’ll go with you. Although I haven’t used English in many years, I should have no problems being your translator!”
“When do we leave?”
Lin Mo smiled and said, “No rush, getting passports for the whole family will take some time, probably at least about a week.”
About a week…
Li Jinwen thought for a moment and said, “Alright, I’ll go talk to Mom and see if she can help me brush up on my spoken English this week, to become proficient as soon as possible.”
“Let’s go, I’ll go with you, and we can also ask if Mom and Dad want to go.” Lin Mo stood up from the sofa and, seeing Zhang Li hesitate, asked, “Xing Jiang, are you coming to America? If you want to, I’ll get your passport done too.”
Since Lin Siyu was going, Zhang Li certainly wanted to go too, but he was just too embarrassed to say it out loud.
In Zhang Li’s eyes, he had already cost Lin Mo a lot of money, an amount he probably could never repay in his lifetime, and the cost of travelling abroad was undoubtedly high, so he hesitated for a moment.
That’s true,
Lin Mo was very wealthy; a single batch of treasures could sell for a lot of money, but as Zhang Li saw it, that had nothing to do with him, and he had no reason to keep spending someone else’s money.
“I… Maybe I shouldn’t go… I wouldn’t be of much help…” Zhang Li’s response was very hesitant.
However, his little schemes couldn’t escape the eyes of anyone on the sofa, even Lin Siyu could tell he really wanted to go.
And Lin Siyu actually quite liked the idea of Zhang Li coming along because, deep down, she also had feelings for him.
If it weren’t for this series of events, she would probably have already accepted Zhang Li’s pursuit, but with so many troubles at home now, Lin Siyu felt she should take on the family responsibilities proactively, sharing some of the burden with her brother.
As for romantic matters, she preferred not to consider them for the time being.
Lin Mo asked with a smile, “If you don’t want to go, I won’t force you, but if you’re considering other issues, there’s no need.”
“A real man should be able to handle affairs. That’s how you earn a woman’s trust. Just tell me straightforwardly, do you want to go or not?”
Zhang Li wasn’t a fool, and with Lin Mo putting it that way, how could he not understand what was being implied?
He looked at Lin Siyu, who was sitting next to him, nodded firmly, and said, “Bro, I want to go. I want to go with you all. Even though I’m not very smart and might not be very helpful, I do have physical strength.”
“That settles it then.”
Lin Mo stood up from the sofa and walked into the kitchen with his wife, Li Jinwen.
The food prepared at lunch had been abundant, far too much to eat, and at this moment, the four elders were in the kitchen, with Lin Xiaoxiao among them, tidying up the dishes and leftovers. Lin Xiaoxiao had come in on her own, enjoying the time with her grandfather and the shared activity.
Lin Changshui was also happy to have his beloved granddaughter by his side, telling her stories while they worked.
Seeing Lin Mo and Li Jinwen enter, Xu Qin thought they had come to help with the chores and quickly waved them off, saying, “You go about your business; we’ve got enough people here, it will be done in a moment.”
Lin Mo said with a smile, “Dad, Mom, put aside what you’re doing for a moment, I have something I want to discuss with you.”
Hmm?
At the mention of a discussion, everyone stopped what they were doing.
Zhao Huixian took Lin Xiaoxiao by the hand and asked, “Mumu, would you like to go to class with Granny?”
During this time, their family had developed a unique understanding and mental resilience.
Whenever there was a conversation of this nature, someone would make sure to take Lin Xiaoxiao away.
“Mom, it’s okay, let her stay here. What we’re discussing involves her too.” Lin Mo explained briefly.
Hmm?
The matter also involves Lin Xiaoxiao?
This made the family a bit puzzled, but no one spoke up, waiting instead for Lin Mo to explain.
Lin Mo didn’t keep them in suspense and explained directly, “Well, I’m planning to take a trip to America soon. My sister, Xing Jiang, and my wife are all going with me, and I was wondering whether you would like to come along.”
Going to America?
Hearing this unfamiliar place name, Lin Xiaoxiao’s eyes filled with curiosity.
The expressions of the others, however, became worried.
Lin Changshui asked with a frown, “Son, has some urgent situation arisen again?”
Their first thought was that Chen Shanhe might have already found them, and they would need to flee overseas.
“No, it’s not what you think.” Lin Mo clarified, “Tai mentioned that a new investment bank was set up, asking if I’m interested. He suggested if I am, I could go to America to learn more and make more money.”
“I think it’s a good idea. Even if I don’t make money, it’s an opportunity to broaden my horizons and become familiar with the international environment. I haven’t been abroad in my lifetime, so I wonder if you want to go with us.”
For the young, going abroad means traveling to farther places and seeing more of the world.
It’s an alluring prospect.
But for the older generation like Li Jinshan and the others, leading a stable and simple life is their ideal way of living.
