"Once extraordinary? Does that mean the family has now fallen on hard times?"

Noticing that Xiaobei’s curiosity was piqued, she nodded slightly and spoke calmly, "Yes, it’s really nothing compared to what it once was. But even now, it’s still strong, which shows just how terrifyingly powerful it was at its peak!"

"I’m really quite curious now!"

Xiaobei looked at Lin Ya with a face full of curiosity.

At this moment, he wanted to know just how powerful their family once was.

"Since you’re so curious, I’ll tell you!"

With a gentle smile, Lin Ya began to calmly narrate.

It turned out that the Cao Family, where Cao Meng is from, had previously seen many formidable existences that made their family one to be reckoned with during its heyday.

Originally, this flourishing era could have continued for a very long time.

However, a terrifying illness later appeared, initially affecting only a few people, but eventually, everyone began to contract this frightening disease.

After contracting it, they started seeking medical treatment, but there was no chance of a cure.

Thus, everyone started to flee...

This caused the once powerful family to completely fall apart.

After listening to her detailed explanation, Xiaobei gained some understanding, "So, Cao Meng’s family is just a small part of the once great family?"

"Yes, that’s right!"

"Then, the Cao Family used to be truly terrifying! By the way, do you know anything about that incurable disease?"

"No! I was really curious about this before, so I specifically investigated, but the information I found wasn’t detailed enough!"

"I see! What a pity!"

"Yes, but Xiaobei, if you inherit the family Cao Meng is part of, you should be able to learn more secrets."

"That makes sense!"

With a gentle smile, Xiaobei continued to chat with her about other things...

Xiaobei noticed that whatever he talked about, she always showed great interest...

"Maybe that’s what love is!"

Xiaobei looked at her and gently murmured to himself...

The next morning, as sunlight once again spread across the earth, Xiaobei opened his eyes.

"There’s still work to be done today, better not linger in bed!"

Murmuring to himself, Xiaobei swiftly flipped out of bed.

Skilled in getting dressed, Xiaobei went to the window and glanced at the rising morning sun.

"A brand new day!"

With a soft sigh of admiration, Xiaobei quickly started his military boxing routine.

After thoroughly warming up his body, Xiaobei prepared to leave. At this moment, he suddenly heard a knock at the door.

"Brother-in-law, are you awake?"

"Awake!"

Responding, Xiaobei rubbed his nose!

Based on the voice, he could tell it was Jing outside.

Previously, Lin Ya had told her many times not to call him brother-in-law, but she insisted.

Her persistence made Xiaobei and Lin Ya feel somewhat helpless...

Of course, they didn’t continue mentioning it and just let her be.

"Since you’re awake, get ready for breakfast!"

"Okay!"

Agreeing again, Xiaobei stepped forward and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, Xiaobei saw her standing there with a ponytail, smiling at him.

After carefully examining her for a moment, Xiaobei smiled gently, "Today’s outfit is different from usual, isn’t it just a full set of black clothes normally?"

"Dressing that way ordinarily was because we might have to go on a task at any time. Now, there’s no need for tasks, so naturally, there’s no need to wear black all the time!"

"Makes sense!"

With a soft smile, Xiaobei didn’t dwell on this issue further but quickly left with her.

Not far away, Xiaobei squinted his eyes in surprise.

The reason for his surprise was that he noticed everyone, including Lin Ya, was seated by the lawn nearby.

"Are you planning to have breakfast here?"

Asking, Xiaobei glanced at the table beside them.

Seeing various exquisite dishes on it, Xiaobei knew they didn’t need to answer.

Because he really had the answer in his heart.

"Yes, before, we all ate inside the room, but now, we plan to eat here because the air is filled with a variety of fruit scents, making us feel very comfortable."

Upon hearing such a relaxed response, Xiaobei took a deep breath.

At this moment, Xiaobei also smelled that faint fruit scent.

Xiaobei understood that the change was because he had previously planted many fruits and vegetables.

"Eating here is a good choice!"

After a deep breath, Xiaobei spoke calmly.

After speaking, Xiaobei immediately sat next to Lin Ya.

Sitting down, Xiaobei noticed Lin Ya beside him seemed a bit shy.

"It seems you’ve specially put on makeup!"

Glancing at her, Xiaobei’s eyes lit up...

With a chuckle, Xiaobei directly asked, "How about it? Is your health better now?"

Knowing what Xiaobei was asking about, Lin Ya gave him a shy glance and softly replied, "Yes, more or less!"

"That’s good, later let’s go out together for a while."

"Go out for a while? Where to?"

"To collect debts."

"Collect debts? Alright!"

Slightly stunned, she soon realized Xiaobei was planning to collect the sixty million he had previously lent out.

Upon hearing her agree, Xiaobei quickly picked up his chopsticks. At this moment, he noticed many others were also looking at him expectantly.

With a slight twitch of his lips, Xiaobei whispered in irritation, "What do you mean by this? You wouldn’t all want to go too, right?"

Jing glanced at Xiaobei and quickly replied, "Brother-in-law, you’re really smart, we also want to go along. You’re our good brother-in-law, surely you won’t refuse such a simple request of ours, right."

Hearing Jing’s words, the others quickly nodded, "Exactly, brother-in-law!"

Knowing that he really couldn’t refuse now, Xiaobei sighed, "Since you all want to follow, then I agree. But you must listen to me when the time comes, understand?"

"Understood! We’ll definitely listen to you, if you say go east, we’ll definitely not go west!"

They quickly promised repeatedly...

Seeing them agree so readily, Xiaobei couldn’t say anything more...

"This is just the beginning, they’re quite famous for being clingy, you’ll have your hands full in the future!"

Seeing Xiaobei somewhat frustrated, Lin Ya leaned toward him and kindly reminded him...

Already frustrated, Xiaobei felt even more so hearing this reminder...
