The Lin family's little boy returns to being eight years old, taking his family to new heights.

Chapter 166 The Knot in Niulanshan's Heart

Fang Weiguo initially thought she was using her studies as an excuse, but he didn't expect that she was genuinely afraid of affecting her studies.

What to do? I like Lin Xi even more now. Her abilities are unfathomable yet she's not arrogant, and she's so ambitious. I really want to bring her home. Maybe I should introduce my son to her; who knows, she might become my daughter-in-law someday? ...

Seeing Fang Weiguo in a daze, Lin Xi reminded him, "Director Fang, I only trust Huo Chuan. If it's inconvenient, I'm sorry I can't help you."

Fang Weiguo snapped out of his thoughts and smiled broadly, “Convenient, convenient! How could it not be convenient? It’s settled then. Here, let me write down your phone number.”

Niulanshan suspected that Fang Weiguo had ulterior motives for asking for Lin Xi's number, but he had no evidence.

Fang Weiguo got Lin Xi's contact information and left satisfied. However, he did not return as originally planned, but went directly to Beijing. He had to talk to the old man about this matter in person.

Niu Lanshan finally breathed a sigh of relief after a week of worry. Things had developed as he had expected, but the outcome was unexpected.

Xiao Xi is truly a genius. How come he didn't think of joining in this way, staying behind the scenes, which would both help the investigation team and prevent him from getting into danger?

The police station was fully staffed and everyone was extremely busy. Lin Xi planned to go home by herself, but Niu Lanshan refused to let her.

Lin Xi has solved so many old cases today, she is a great contributor, and to show his respect, he wants to personally escort Lin Xi back.

Lin Xi was flattered and overwhelmed. What did she do to deserve having the director of the municipal bureau as her driver?

“Director Niu, you are the director. Such a trivial matter would damage your authority. Besides, I have already moved to the city. It’s very close.”

Niu Lanshan picked up his car keys. "What director? From now on, just call me Uncle Niu. What's wrong with me taking my own niece home?"

Lin Xi felt embarrassed to refuse again, so she got into the car and sat directly in the passenger seat, which pleased Niulanshan.

"Director Niu, thank you for your hard work. My home is in Zijing Huafu."

Niulanshan was lighting a fire when he thought he had misheard, "Where?"

"Bauhinia Mansion".

"That villa district built in the city center?"

"Correct."

The atmosphere was silent for a few seconds.

Niu Lanshan finally realized that with Xiao Xi's abilities, making money was indeed not difficult. What's wrong with buying a villa? Buying a building wasn't impossible either. Predicting the lottery or stocks was as easy as playing around.

The more I think about it, the more terrifying it becomes; this ability is simply too overpowered.

However, Niulanshan had no interest in money; he was only concerned with one thing.

"Xiao Xi, my son's name is Niu Dehua, and his birth date and time are..."

Lin Xi's eyelids twitched. "Director Niu, what's going on?"

"Hey, can you help me figure out when he's getting married?"

Lin Xi was speechless. "Director Niu, I really don't know how to calculate..."

Halfway through his sentence, something flashed through his mind: "Director Niu, your son's nickname is Niu Mengmeng?"

Niu Lanshan was both surprised and delighted. If he hadn't been driving, he would have jumped up. "Yes, yes, his nickname is Mengmeng. You said you couldn't tell fortunes. Only his mother and I know this nickname. We haven't called him that since he had his memories."

Xiaoxi, quickly calculate when he'll get married. Oh dear, my son's personality is so effeminate, like a little girl; I'm so worried he won't find a wife.

Lin Xi now really wanted to take back what she had just said. This damned extraordinary memory and fortune-telling ability were now confirmed.

"Director Niu, don't worry, he will get married, just a little late. Your daughter-in-law is a very nice person, cheerful and generous, and her personality complements your son's."

He secretly added to himself, "He's also a physical education teacher, a head taller than your son, and his name is Han Dali."

As for how she knew about this, it was because Han Dali was her junior high school teacher. At that time, everyone was sitting together on the playground, and she sweetly told them that she was getting married.

The students really liked this very masculine female teacher and begged her to tell them what kind of person the other person was.

Han Dali blushed as he introduced the other person's name, and everyone was curious as to why he had chosen a girl's name.

Han Dali said this was his nickname. His formal name is Niu Dehua, which sounds very nice, but she felt that his nickname suited him better because he is gentle and considerate, and his smile is sunny and cute...

Upon hearing this, Niulanshan let out a heavy sigh; this matter had been weighing on his mind for over a decade.

It's all his fault for wanting a daughter so much that he raised his son like a daughter, ruining him. By the time he realized it, it was too late to change.

Thankfully, it didn't ruin his son's life, otherwise he would have felt guilty to death.

"Xiaoxi, thank you. I feel relieved to hear that."

Seeing that Director Niu's eyes were red, Lin Xi understood his feelings. "Director Niu, he will be very happy in the future."

By the way, I really don't know how to tell fortunes.

Niulanshan looked like he understood, saying, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone, and I'll only count this once."

After all, I have no regrets now.

After speaking, a system notification sounded in Lin Xi's mind, resolving Niu Lanshan's inner conflict, relieving his anxiety and guilt towards his son, and further strengthening their parent-child relationship. He was rewarded with one hundred Love Coins.

She hadn't heard such a small number of Love Coins notifications in a long time; since the system upgrade, she'd been receiving thousands or tens of thousands every time.

I suddenly remembered what Xiao Yi once said: when you have enough ability, helping others is just a matter of course. This moment proves it true.

Back then, it took her a long time to save up 100 Love Coins to open the shop.

It turns out that I have grown so much without even realizing it.

Possessing exceptional memory, comprehension, and logical abilities, a skilled martial artist, and considerable hacking skills, he has fulfilled his dream of writing freely in his previous life and provided a comfortable life for his family...

Their family has completely broken free from the trajectory of their previous life.

"Xiao Yi, thank you."

Xiao Yi, who had always listened to Lin Xi's thoughts, understood what Lin Xi was thinking without her having to say much. "You're welcome. Everything you have is the result of your own hard work."

It has been watching the host's progress and growth closely, and this is the host it has ever had the least trouble with.

With perseverance and willpower, one will never slacken, no matter the circumstances.

Especially when it comes to taking advantage of it.

When they arrived at the entrance of the residential area, Lin Xi did not get out of the car immediately. "Uncle Niu, come to my house for a visit. Try my grandma's cooking. I guarantee you'll never forget it after just one bite. Yan Feng and the others often come over for a free meal."

Niu Lanshan was overjoyed to hear the greeting "Uncle Niu," and immediately got out of the car with a happy smile. While Lin Xi was talking to the security guard, he secretly took two bottles of wine from the trunk and put them in his pocket.

It's not appropriate to go to someone's house for a meal empty-handed, so I happened to have borrowed two bottles of Moutai from Lao Ma beforehand, and I'll use them to present to him.

It wasn't until Niulanshan entered the villa that he realized how extravagant Lin Xi was; the house, including its hard and soft furnishings, must have cost nearly three million.

When Lin Guiying and Lin Guojun learned Niulanshan's identity, they were incredibly enthusiastic. He was the director of the municipal bureau, the highest-ranking official they had ever met in their lives.

At this moment, they could not have imagined that in the future, Director Niu would actually be the lowest-ranking official they had ever met.

Niu Lanshan never imagined that in the future, he would be proud to have eaten a meal at the Lin family's house.
