My College Teacher is My Children's Mom-Chapter 702: Became the Richest Man?

Ever since Shao Yang began publicly pursuing San Bao, many people had started shipping the couple, though many were also skeptical.

Even if San Bao was as beautiful as a celestial being, possessed stunning design talent, and came from a well-off family, her family naturally paled in comparison to the future heir of a top luxury brand.

So, while many rejoiced that "their ship had finally come true," many others remained pessimistic. The story of Cinderella marrying into an ultra-wealthy family is indeed beautiful and something many young women long for. But who could know the messy reality that might follow the wedding? Love required two things: being equals, and being a suitable match in social standing. Many people were waiting to see just how far their relationship would go.

Zhang Yuxi’s brow furrowed deeper as she scrolled through the comments on Weibo. Finally, she tossed her phone aside with an exasperated sigh.

Lin Feng, puzzled, picked up the phone. After reading the comments, he comforted his wife, "People will say what they want. Let them talk."

She understood the principle, of course, but she couldn’t help worrying about this possibility.

In the blink of an eye, the Lunar New Year was over, and the family members were once again busy with their own lives. Everything seemed to be business as usual, with nothing out of the ordinary.

The only one to do something significant was Lin Feng, who had his personal lawyer estimate his wealth.

Having served as Lin Feng’s personal lawyer since their collaboration in Sanya twenty years ago, the lawyer found him to be the least troublesome boss imaginable. Lin Feng only called upon him a few times a year; the rest of the time, he was effectively on retainer, enjoying a sinecure. To be honest, he felt quite guilty accepting such a hefty annual salary for so little work.

Over the years, he’d always assumed his client was just some rich tycoon, maybe with assets in the tens of billions. But holy cow, the final estimate was 20 billion US Dollars *more* than the top mogul on last year’s Forbes China Rich List! He couldn’t believe it and spent several more hours recalculating... Unbelievable. There was no mistake!

"Mr. Lin..." he began, handing the documents to Lin Feng, barely able to contain his excitement.

Over the years, the system had rewarded Lin Feng with numerous things, but he never knew their exact monetary value. He vaguely felt that he should be very wealthy, but he had no idea just how wealthy.

After Shao Yang and San Bao’s relationship went public, many netizens soured on them, citing the disparity in their family backgrounds. He didn’t think it was a big deal, but it had become a nagging concern for his wife. At her age, Zhang Yuxi was showing premenopausal signs. Work was fine, but when it came to family matters, she tended to overthink and became increasingly irritable. He not only had to soothe his wife but also had to counsel his daughter, afraid she would take the netizens’ opinions to heart.

Therefore, he decided to reveal his family’s true wealth. If all goes as expected, I’ll be the richest man in the country. I have to do something for my daughter.

Shortly after the school term began, the list of the wealthiest individuals was updated. A familiar yet strangely unfamiliar name appeared.

Lin Feng.

Representing the Lin Group.

This news left everyone stunned and confused. They knew the Lin family was wealthy and that all the children were outstanding, but they never imagined he was the richest man in the country.

Not only was the public stunned, but Lin Feng’s own family members were also full of questions. They even began to wonder if this Lin Feng was just someone else with the same name. In their memories, their dad was a family man. They never saw him go out to work; he simply dedicated himself to their family. They owned some real estate and a few restaurants, but that seemed a far cry from being the country’s wealthiest person.

Zhang Yuxi didn’t pay attention to such things, but in the information age, people were calling one after another to congratulate her. To confirm if it was true, she took her phone to ask her husband.

"I’ve made some investments here and there over the years," he said. "I guess they might have earned a little money."

The richest man in the country, and he says he earned ’a little’ money? Zhang Yuxi was stunned. But she quickly realized what this meant. In that case, the gap between San Bao and Shao Yang wasn’t so vast after all. Today, Lin Feng was not only the richest person in the country but also ranked twelfth globally. With a little more effort, he could break into the top ten. All that talk about them being an unsuitable match... those people had nothing to say now, did they?

The siblings had their own group chat, and the sudden discovery that they were the children of the richest man made them quite happy.

Er Bao: I always knew Dad was rich, but I never expected him to be *this* rich.

Si Bao: It’s not our money, anyway. We still have to work hard for ourselves.

Er Bao: Oh, listen to you, so mature all of a sudden.

Da Bao: Our fourth brother is right. We should just keep doing what we’ve been doing.

San Bao, who was practicing an instrument, just sent a simple, "Mhm."

Each of them had their own talents and excelled in different fields, capable of supporting themselves well without their parents’ help. From a young age, they understood that they needed to forge their own paths in life. No matter how much money their father had, they never counted on it. Once the initial excitement faded, it was back to business as usual.

If their lives changed at all, it was that more conveniences were available, more people came calling, and invitations to social functions increased. Lin Feng declined them all, using the excuse that he needed to take Xiao Bao to school.

This semester, Xiao Bao had taken on a role in a drama. She had to juggle filming with her schoolwork, and Lin Feng naturally took care of her daily needs. The curriculum for the second half of second grade was simple enough that Lin Feng could teach it himself, with her only needing to show up for the final exams. But, considering Xiao Bao’s well-being, Lin Feng decided his daughter should endure the hardship of attending school while filming. This made things tough on Lin Feng, who, outside of her acting scenes, spent most of his time tutoring his daughter.

"Let me think for a second..." Lin Feng mumbled, frowning at a challenging math problem as he tried to figure out how to explain it to Xiao Bao.

A nearby staff member watched, thinking that Lin Feng had it tough. The richest man in the country, and he’s still stressed about helping his kid with homework? In that sense, he’s just like any other ordinary person, isn’t he? And since the family is so rich, why not just hire a tutor? He doesn’t have to struggle like this.

"Come, sit down. Daddy will explain it to you again."

This time, for whatever reason, the little girl’s mind clicked, and she understood immediately.

Lin Feng was very pleased. "What would you like for dinner tonight?"

Xiao Bao, who had been doted on her entire life, declared she wanted a steak from that restaurant they went to the other day.

Lin Feng had no objection. "Once you’re done with your work, Daddy will take you."

Though only in the second grade, she was already more professional in her acting than many adults, even outshining other child stars. Whenever a production needed a child actor, Xiao Bao was the first choice. She was a great actress, came from a good family, and most importantly, she wasn’t pampered and was willing to work hard. Who wouldn’t love a child like that? Especially now that she was the daughter of the richest man, a status that was a hot topic in itself.

After a long day of filming, Lin Feng carried his little girl’s backpack and took her to dinner. "Order whatever you like."

Xiao Bao had grown quite a bit this year. She smiled and cheerfully ordered a large amount of food, prompting a reminder from Lin Feng.

"Order only what you can eat. Don’t be wasteful."

"I can finish it all," Xiao Bao asserted confidently.

As it turned out, Xiao Bao finished every last bite, leaving Lin Feng in shock. "Were you that hungry?"

He worried that eating so much wasn’t good for her.

Xiao Bao nodded, feeling like she could still eat a bit more, but Lin Feng stopped her. "I’ll use the hotel kitchen to make you a late-night snack later. Don’t eat any more now, or you’ll get a stomachache from being too full."

As they were leaving, Xiao Bao took some candy from the restaurant with her.

The original plan was to head back to the hotel to rest, but since Xiao Bao had eaten so much, Lin Feng worried about her digestion and decided to take her for a walk.
