Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 788

Chapter 788: Chapter 788: I’m Back!

Even though Lin Chuxia agreed readily, Old Sir He was still a bit impatient on the way, continuously asking her why they were going to An City.

Lin Chuxia couldn’t easily tell him, and the old man became even more irritable.

"You’re dragging me to An City for no reason. Don’t you know, I had arranged to play chess with that old geezer today? That shameless old geezer broke the game yesterday to win against me and then shamelessly claimed his chess skills are better. If I don’t show up today, won’t he say I’m afraid of him? Who knows what that shameless old man will say about me..."

Lin Chuxia thought Old Sir He was becoming more of a child as he aged.

"Our true gold fears no fire. Another day, you can go find him and beat him soundly. The more arrogantly he boasts today, the harder it’ll slap him in the face then. Won’t that be more satisfying?"

Old Sir He thought about it, it seemed to make sense.

"Alright then, when we get back, you have Qin Yang play a few rounds with me. Chess skills are like kung fu; you have to practice every day, in the coldest winter and hottest summer, to gain true skills. Even though I’m going out today, I still can’t slack off."

Lin Chuxia held back her laughter and glanced at Qin Yang, "Alright, alright, when we get back, I’ll have Qin Yang play with you."

Clearly thinking Qin Yang’s chess skills were good, he wanted to learn a few tricks but had to say it so uniquely.

When they arrived in An City, they drove straight to Old Sir He’s small courtyard.

They had informed Su Wensong before coming, and when they got to the alley, the group got out of the car and saw the courtyard door was already open.

Probably hearing the car, Su Wensong came out with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Lin, Old He, Mr. Qin, was the journey smooth?"

Lin Chuxia nodded, "Where is the person you mentioned?"

"In the courtyard," Su Wensong glanced at Old Sir He and then said to Lin Chuxia, "I chatted with him for a while, pretty much eight or nine out of ten."

Old Sir He was still grumbling discontentedly, "What are you two whispering about? We’re home, yet you’re still standing at the door? Can’t you talk inside? Move, move, if you don’t go in, I will..."

As Old Sir He spoke, he walked into the courtyard and suddenly stopped upon seeing a tall figure there.

Pointing to the person, he turned back to ask Su Wensong and Lin Chuxia, "Who is this person? You’re not planning on selling the courtyard, are you? Even though I gave you this courtyard, you can handle it as you like, but selling ancestral property is wasteful; you mustn’t act recklessly."

Thinking of something, he asked again, "Are you short of money? Is it that your herbal medicine planting base needs a lot of money, and you’re tight on cash? If that’s the case, selling this courtyard is not impossible; no one lives here anyway, it’s just sitting idle..."

The young apprentice setting up the herbal medicine planting base to fulfill his wish, he couldn’t help, but he definitely couldn’t be a hindrance.

He thought for a moment and gritted his teeth, "Not only this courtyard, you could even sell the small courtyard you bought for me in Yan City, I can live anywhere, didn’t they say there are retirement homes? You can send me to a retirement home, and I won’t have to find people for chess anymore."

Sometimes Lin Chuxia really found Old Sir He adorable.

But before she could respond to Old Sir He, the figure in the courtyard had already looked over.

"Dad, it’s me. I’m back!"

Just these few simple words, and Old Sir He seemed struck by lightning, stunned there for a moment before slowly turning his head.

The man had already walked quickly to Old Sir He and knelt at his feet with a thud, "Dad, I’m back!"

Old Sir He looked down at the now matured face, his hand trembled as he raised it to gently touch the man’s face, choking up as he finally uttered, "San’er, is that you?"

As he spoke, a tear fell onto the man’s forehead.
