My gorgeous wife

Chapter 528: Chapter 501: Dinner Party

"How’s the investigation going?"

In the study, a tall, upright middle-aged man stood before several elderly men.

"Elders, I’ve checked everyone who has been in contact with the master of the house." The middle-aged man bowed slightly to the elders of the Lin Family and said.

"And the results?"

"We found no useful information." The middle-aged man also looked somewhat displeased.

"Everyone who had contact with the master before he was poisoned was investigated, but all were cleared of suspicion, and no useful information was gathered."

Upon hearing the middle-aged man’s words, the elders were silent.

Among them, an elder who had some interaction with Li Chen in the hospital room slightly closed his eyes.

"It seems we of the Lin Family have been targeted as well."

"Pass the word around, ask the children in the family to be more careful when going out these days, and absolutely avoid stirring up trouble. The situation in Huaxia has become somewhat chaotic since the destruction of the Li Family."

"Yes!" The middle-aged man bowed slightly to the elders and left the room.

As he left the room, he also heard a long sigh emanating from within.

Shaking his head, he knew that something might really have happened. However, these were things for the heads of the family to handle; his duty was merely to do his own job.

"I hope that this time the Lin Family can safely get through this just like before..."

Throughout history, Huaxia’s situation had experienced many upheavals, but in the end, those families that still existed had safely navigated through them, although not without some damage.

Those that did not make it through became mere dust of history.

To the elders of the Lin Family, Lin Shu’s poisoning might well be the start of the next upheaval.

"Yawn—"

Rising from the bed, Li Chen looked at Lin Yi, still asleep in his arms, and could not help but smile.

"My dear, my beautiful wife is becoming more and more enchanting." Thinking of last night’s craze, even Li Chen couldn’t help but click his tongue in amazement.

After all, this was not their villa in Linchuan, but rather at the Lin Family’s.

Even he was surprised by Lin Yi’s performance, who seemed to have truly accepted him as her husband in her heart.

Not wanting to disturb Lin Yi’s rest, after washing up, Li Chen directly walked out of the room and into the courtyard outside.

"Haaa—"

The weather in Yanjing was still a bit cold, especially in the morning.

After completing a set of Fist Technique, Li Chen’s body had already started to warm up slightly.

Yet no sweat was visible on his forehead.

After all, this was just a routine warm-up for him.

"Hmm, you’re up?"

Turning around, Li Chen noticed that Lin Yi, her hair loose, had at some point come to the door and was smilingly watching him perform his Fist Technique.

"Beautiful wife, how is it? Is your husband handsome or what when I practice my Fist Technique?" Li Chen grinned as he moved closer and joked.

"You rascal!"

Lin Yi slapped Li Chen lightly, smiled, and then said, "Get ready, we are going to have breakfast together."

"Have breakfast together?" Li Chen was taken aback, "With whom?"

Lin Yi rolled her eyes: "This is my house, naturally with my family people."

Li Chen touched his nose: "With them?"

"What’s wrong, you don’t want to?"

"No, no." Li Chen waved his hand, "Since it’s my beautiful wife’s idea, I’m definitely willing to go through fire and water."

"It’s just that, your family, they don’t seem to like me much," Li Chen shook his head.

Lin Yi bit her lip, "Husband."

"Yes."

"Even if it’s for me, could you try to accommodate them a bit?" Lin Yi’s face showed a faint plea, "Even if they go too far, they are still my family after all. If things between you and them become too strained..."

Li Chen didn’t speak, but embraced Lin Yi in his arms, "Fool, don’t worry. I won’t make things difficult for you, I promise you, as long as they don’t provoke me first, I won’t stir up trouble, how about that?"

A glint of happiness appeared in Lin Yi’s eyes, and she hugged Li Chen back, "Husband, you’re really wonderful!"

At noon, a group of people sat together, but from the expression on each face, everyone seemed rather stiff.

Not for any other reason, but because today at the Lin Family’s dining table, there was an outsider present.

Li Chen.

For some reason, whenever Lin Family People saw Li Chen’s face, they couldn’t help but stiffen up.

This guy, he’s just too... too something.

Even the Lin Family People didn’t know quite how to describe Li Chen.

Originally, Li Chen had once forcefully entered Lin Family’s residence and hurt quite a number of people, he and the Lin Family should have had quite a grudge.

But, last time for Lin Yi, Li Chen directly annihilated the Li Family, shocking the whole of Yanjing. Although this matter was suppressed by those above, it still left a deep impression on many people.

Especially the Lin Family People.

Although they didn’t say much, they still greatly admired Li Chen’s actions.

Add to this that Li Chen had recently saved Lin Shu, the Lin Family juniors were truly conflicted about how to describe their feelings towards Li Chen.

"Ahem! Let’s eat." Lin Shu, who had recovered, was at the head of the table and coughed twice, speaking in a deep voice.

Li Chen didn’t say a word and was the first to reach for the chopsticks.

When it came to eating, he was never much for formalities.

However, right as Li Chen made his move, a voice suddenly came from the side.

"The elders haven’t started yet, and the junior has already begun, isn’t that a bit disrespectful?" The voice was cold and arrogant, carrying an elder’s authority.

Li Chen glanced sideways and noticed that the speaker was a middle-aged man.

"That’s my uncle Lin Hang, that’s just how he is..." Lin Yi whispered beside Li Chen, she wasn’t worried about Li Chen, she just didn’t want him to be too hostile with the Lin Family.

Li Chen gave Lin Yi a reassuring look.

Then he put down his chopsticks with a particularly interested expression as he looked to Lin Hang.

His intention was clear.

"You go first."

Lin Hang satisfied his pride as an elder. In his eyes, Li Chen might be formidable, but after all, he was their Lin Family’s son-in-law. In the Lin Family, he had to obey the Lin Family’s rules, right?

But when he started using his chopsticks, he realized that Li Chen still wasn’t moving, just staring straight at him.

As if he was watching a gorilla in the zoo.

With interest.

"What are you looking at?" After being stared at by Li Chen for a good while, Lin Hang couldn’t hold back anymore and spoke up at Li Chen.
