Chapter 420 I'll go first, Lin Beishan has to come later.
His good mood, which he had built up last night after blowing up the magistrate's latrine, was instantly ruined by that bastard Lin Beishan.
Seriously, I made a bad choice in making friends!
Ironically, the first thing Lin Chang'er asked after getting up early was about the couple.
He felt even more frustrated.
This girl definitely thinks that Lin Beishan and his wife are more useful in her future plans; she clearly thinks that the old man is useless!
Headmaster Chen felt very wronged!
But he didn't know how to say it, because if he did, it would make him seem petty.
He was really frustrated if he didn't say anything!
Seeing Lin Chang'er pressing him for answers, he thought it over and over again, and finally felt that what she said made sense.
Why should he be the only one suffering? If he's suffering, then everyone else should suffer too.
"Destroy it all," Headmaster Chen declared, ready to go all out.
He looked at Lin Chang'er with an expression that said, "You'll regret what I'm saying." "You're the one who told me to say this."
Lin Chang'er clasped her hands together and said, "Please hurry up, I can't hold it in any longer."
Headmaster Chen said irritably, "Lin Beishan and Bai He want to adopt you as their goddaughter and asked me to be the middleman."
Lin Chang'er was taken aback. It really was that?
She stared at Chen Shanzhang warily, afraid of missing even the slightest change in his expression.
Logically speaking, this matter should only be between her and Lin Beishan and his wife; the Gu family is only nominally involved.
As the middleman, he was just making the connection and there was absolutely no loss to his own interests. Yet he gave them attitude all morning because of this. Lin Chang'er really couldn't understand it.
She said, "Isn't this a joyous occasion? Why are you unhappy, Headmaster? Is there something wrong with Mr. and Mrs. Lin Beishan?"
Headmaster Chen: "..." No wonder that bastard Lin Beishan was so confident; it turns out he really had already discussed it beforehand, and it was just a formality to have him go through with it.
Headmaster Chen felt betrayed and even found it hard to breathe.
Seeing that his expression was off, Lin Chang'er quickly patted his back to help him catch his breath, "Headmaster Chen, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
“Aren’t you old acquaintances with Uncle Lin and Aunt Bai? We’ve known each other for quite some time now, and I get along well with Uncle Lin’s family.”
"It seems there's no problem with everyone becoming godparents, don't you think?" Speaking of which, it was he who recommended Lin Beishan and his wife to him!
Why is Headmaster Chen reacting so strongly to their decision to become godparents?
Headmaster Chen: "..." Headmaster Chen felt like his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys were all failing him. He turned his face away, not wanting to speak anymore.
Lin Chang'er became a little anxious. She really didn't know what she had said wrong that had angered him.
But everything she said was the truth!
But fearing that she might upset Headmaster Chen again, she didn't dare to speak again and could only help him catch his breath.
Headmaster Chen initially intended to ignore this heartless woman, but the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. In the end, he couldn't hold back and turned to ask her, "You've only known them for a few days, and you've already become their godparent?"
Lin Chang'er frowned. Oh right, they've only known each other for three days!
That's the apparent timeframe; in reality, they've known each other for decades.
Lin Chang'er thought for a moment and said, "We become old friends at first sight, and even in old age, we remain strangers."
Headmaster Chen was speechless, pointing at her, then at himself, almost unable to catch his breath.
Lin Chang'er was startled and called out to him repeatedly, "Headmaster Chen, take a deep breath, take a deep breath..."
Hearing the commotion, Wu Qingfeng crawled out of the carriage and was startled to see Chen Shanzhang looking utterly dejected.
He hurriedly tried to help her into the carriage, but Chen Shanzhang pushed his hand away. He glared at Lin Chang'er angrily, his tone tinged with resentment, "You're so close to them, but what about me? What about me?"
Lin Chang'er was stunned. She looked at Wu Qingfeng in confusion, her eyes pleading: What is he saying?
Why do you look like a resentful man? I'm a little scared...
Although Wu Qingfeng was sitting in the carriage, his seat was near the carriage shaft, so he happened to hear Lin Chang'er's conversation with Chen Shanzhang.
Hearing Chen Shanzhang's question now, he suddenly laughed. This old man is really quite arrogant.
They didn't acknowledge each other, but now that two people have come along who are straightforward, they feel like their cookies have been stolen.
He should have argued with Lin Beishan, so why did he get upset with Xiaobinggan?
However, looking at Lin Chang'er's completely helpless appearance, and seeing that Chen Shanzhang's resentment was about to spill out, she could tell that...
He didn't tease the old man after all, and said with a smile, "Headmaster, you had this idea a long time ago, why didn't you say so sooner?"
Headmaster Chen: "..." Oh right, it seems he's never mentioned it before.
Lin Chang'er: "..." What? Why didn't you say so earlier? Is there anything I, as a super member, can't hear?
Wu Qingfeng added, "The headmaster knows Aunt Gu's temperament all too well. If another person dotes on Chang'er, she will surely agree."
Lin Chang'er was even more puzzled. She looked at Wu Qingfeng warily, then turned to look at Chen Shanzhang. What kind of riddle were these two playing?
When did they develop such a tacit understanding, and even have their own little secrets?
Headmaster Chen suddenly realized, "Yes, he's the one who's familiar with Aunt Gu!"
There should always be a first-come, first-served principle in everything!
If anyone's to acknowledge it, it's him who should acknowledge it first. Lin Beishan is just a later acquaintance; he'll have to wait in line.
However, Lin Chang'er, that girl, never plays by the rules. What if she's unwilling?
How embarrassing would it be for him if he didn't want to?
Headmaster Chen looked at Wu Qingfeng with some unease, feeling that he needed to find out more about the young man first.
Although neither of them said it explicitly, if he truly recognized Chang'er as his adopted daughter, then the man in front of him would be his undisputed son-in-law.
He nudged Lin Chang'er, "Go inside and sit down."
He then pointed at Wu Qingfeng and said, "Come here."
Lin Chang'er objected, "What's wrong? What is it that I can't hear? Tell me, let me have a taste of it first."
Headmaster Chen: "..." Headmaster Chen gave her a look that said, "Can't you be a little more sensible?"
Wu Qingfeng suppressed a laugh, "Headmaster, why don't you say it in front of Chang'er!"
Chen Shanzhang frowned as he looked at him. Wu Qingfeng shrugged and said, "Keeping it inside will only make you sad, but saying it out loud won't make you any sadder."
Chen Shan was so angry he wanted to hit someone, but he held back and turned to glare at Wu Qingfeng.
He then turned his gaze back to Lin Chang'er.
Lin Chang'er felt a little flustered by his gaze and rubbed her arms. "What are you doing? What kind of eyes do you have? A beheading is nothing, just a small scar. Please, just give me a quick death!"
Chen Shanzhang clenched his fists under his sleeves, feeling more nervous than he had been during the imperial examinations. He took a deep breath, as if he were about to give it his all.
Looking at Lin Chang'er, he said solemnly, with a touch of arrogance, "I've known you for a long time, so if we're going to recognize each other as godparents, I should go first. Lin Beishan will have to wait his turn..."
