Her mother-in-law slowly quieted down after seeing Lin Xiyan. Lin Xiyan accompanied her mother-in-law to reminisce about the past until her mother-in-law fell asleep.
Lin Xiyan walked from her mother-in-law's room to the hall. Long Qian did not rest but smoked a cigar and waited for Lin Xiyan.
"Mr. Long, granny is already asleep. If there's nothing else, can I go home?”Lin Xiyan asked.
"Miss Lin, can you sit down and talk? It won't take up too much of your time."
He was the boss of a mafia. It was not good to reject him. After all, tomorrow was the weekend and he did not have to go to school. Lin Xiyan sat opposite Long Qian. She didn't like the smell of cigars, it was too pungent.
"Can I call you by your name? The way you address me is too formal." Her name was very beautiful, just like a person.
Lin Xiyan nodded. Long Qian blew out a cigar and said,"The Nan Nan in my grandmother's mouth is my deceased aunt." Aunt was about your age when she passed away. At that time, my grandfather had just come to He City to conquer the world. One day, an enemy captured her aunt as bait to lure her grandfather into a trap. Grandmother sacrificed her aunt for the sake of the Long family and grandfather. Outsiders might think that Grandmother was heartless, but who knew that Grandmother was actually the one who was the most heartbroken? After so many years, Grandmother still couldn't tie a happy knot.”
So this was the sad past of the mother-in-law. There were indeed mothers who watched their children die without doing anything.
"Mr. Long, I will visit granny often in the future.”Lin Xiyan made up her mind. No matter who Long Qian was, she just felt sorry for her mother-in-law.
"Thank you! Call me Brother Long from now on. It's very late. I'll send you home.”
Long Qian left after sending Lin Xiyan to the main gate of the Lin Family. On the second floor, Liu Junru's heart was filled with jealousy and hatred as she watched Lin Xiyan enter the house. Why was this girl's life so good? Not only did her grandfather leave her a huge inheritance, but he also got a good marriage. Now, he made friends with the famous Long Qian in the city. On the other hand, her daughter was more beautiful than her and her knowledge was not inferior to hers, but she was inferior to her in everything. Liu Junru clenched her fists. She would never let Lin Xiyan have her way.
following day
Lin Xiyan woke up to find her mother sitting on her bed, looking at her thoughtfully.
"Mother, good morning."
"It's still early. If there were in-laws, the daughter-in-law should be preparing breakfast for her in-laws.”
"So Xi 'er doesn't want to marry. She'll stay by Mother's side and eat her breakfast for the rest of her life.”Lin Xiyan wrapped her arms around Liu Xianglan's neck.
Liu Xianglan smiled and patted her daughter's face.""Silly child, how can a girl not get married? Xi 'er, I have something to ask you.”
"Mother said."
"Who is that Chief Long? How did you meet him?"
Lin Xiyan understood what her mother was worried about and told Liu Xianglan the cause and effect of the matter.
Liu Xianglan sighed slightly after hearing this. Xi 'er often went to see her mother-in-law, which means my daughter is kind, but you're married after all. If you go to Chief Long often, people won't gossip about you. What will Yi Zhuo think of you if he knows?"
"Mother, don't worry, I will tell Cousin Yizhuo about mother-in-law. In the future, when I go to see my mother-in-law, I will also tell Cousin Yi Zhuo.”
Her daughter was still young, and she was innocent and kind. She did not understand that some things could not be resolved just by being calm. Liu Xianglan hugged her daughter, wishing her a peaceful life.
Knock knock. Aunt Wu came in.
"Aunt Wu, you picked up gold early in the morning. You look so happy.”Lin Xiyan said.
"Miss, wake up quickly. Young Master Li is here.”
Li Yizhuo had returned from Shanghai. Lin Xiyan quickly got up and got dressed.
Liu Xianglan looked at her daughter in relief. She liked Li Yizhuo. This was good, so she wouldn't want to leave.
Today, Li Yizhuo was wearing a blue suit. He looked good in anything.
"Cousin!"
" Good morning, Aunt Xi 'er." Li Yizhuo looked at Lin Xiyan. She had become more beautiful after not seeing her for a few days.
At this moment, Liu Junru was also holding Lin Sihan's arm as she went downstairs. Lin Sihan was quite satisfied with the Li family's marriage alliance.
" Good morning, Uncle and Madam," Li Yizhuo greeted politely.
"We're all from a few families. There's no need to be so polite. Yizhuo, come over and have breakfast together." Lin Sihan said,
"Thank you, Uncle. Mother said that she hasn't seen Xi 'er for a long time. She invited Xi' er to have breakfast today. I'm here to pick her up.”Li Yizhuo said.
"Since that's the case, you should leave quickly. Don't let the in-laws wait for too long. Junru, buy a gift for the in-laws for 100 Yuan Xi 'er.”
One hundred yuan was two months 'worth of expenses for this family. Liu Junru was quite unwilling, but she didn't dare to refuse Lin Sihan's request. She took out a hundred yuan and stuffed it into Lin Xiyan's hands.
"Uncle, my family doesn't lack anything.”Li Yizhuo said,
"This is a small token of our appreciation. Besides, Xi 'er can't go empty-handed to see her in-laws.”Lin Sihan said,
"Cousin, father has always paid attention to human relations. It's late, don't let YiNiang wait.”Lin Xiyan kept the money. Lin Sihan was willing to spend 100 yuan to get more benefits from her.
Li Yizhuo nodded and pulled Lin Xiyan away from the Lin family home.
In the teahouse, the Shi couple and Li Xinyou were already sitting in a private room.
"Hello, Uncle and Aunt." Lin Xiyan smiled sweetly.
"Xiyan, shouldn't you call me in-laws?”Li Xinyou joked.
"Youyou bullied Xi 'er again. Xi 'er ignored Youyou and sat down to eat some snacks.”The more Qin Shuhua looked at Lin Xiyan, the more satisfied she became.
Li Yizhuo pulled out a chair for Lin Xiyan and sat down.
"Xi 'er, I'll get you a bowl of porridge.”Li Yizhuo scooped a bowl of porridge for Lin Xiyan and carefully blew on it to cool it.
"Mom, look at how attentive Brother is to Xiyan. Be careful that your son will forget his mother and his sister when he has a wife in the future.”Li Xinyou seemed to be jealous, but she was actually very happy to see her brother and Lin Xiyan's sweetness.
"Youyou, how could we forget you? These are your favorite shrimp dumplings.”Lin Xiyan put a shrimp dumpling into Li Xinyou's bowl and stuffed it into her mouth.
"YiNiang, your favorite barbecued pork bun and Uncle's favorite soup bun.”Lin Xiyan also picked up food for the two elders.
Lin Xiyan was gentle and beautiful, pure and innocent. He had not chosen the wrong person. "Xi 'er, how's your mother recently?" Qin Shuhua happily ate her snacks.”
"I caught a cold two days ago.”
"Your mother's body is a little weak. Xi 'er, take your mother to the church hospital to have a look. Don't always take Chinese medicine and delay her illness.”Qin Shuhua said.
Indeed, his mother's health had been a lot worse recently. He would have to take her pulse another day.
At this moment, a voice interrupted. "Chief Li came here to drink tea today.”
This voice was so familiar to Lin Xiyan that a chill ran down her spine. Damn it, why would Duan Weilin appear?
Seeing that it was the Military Governor's Office's Young Marshal, Li Rongchang quickly stood up."Young Marshal, please take a seat."
Duan Weilin sat beside Lin Xiyan and said,""I didn't disturb the elder's family drinking tea today, right?”
She sat down even though she knew that she had disturbed him. Lin Xiyan thought to herself and silently ate the snacks that Li Yizhuo had picked up. She began to feel uneasy.
"How can that be? The Young Marshal is usually busy, so I can't invite him even if I wanted to. I heard that a few days ago, there was a rebellion in Guancun. The Young Marshal went to suppress it. Everything went well, right?”Everyone in the city knew Duan Weilin's character. Li Rongchang was afraid of Duan Weilin.
"It's just a small matter. Right, I heard that Young Master Li got engaged recently. It must be this young lady. This Duan will replace wine with tea to congratulate the two of you." Duan Weilin raised his teacup and looked at Lin Xiyan.
Li Yizhuo, who didn't know anything, said politely,""Thank you, Young Marshal. This is my fiancée. Xi 'er, let's toast to the Young Marshal."
Duan Weilin looked calm, but only Lin Xiyan knew that he was full of anger at this moment. He raised his teacup and took a sip.
"Xi 'er, I have a pet named Xi' er.”After saying that, he gently rubbed Lin Xiyan's calf under the table.
" Cough, cough, cough." Lin Xiyan choked on her tea and stiffened. Li Yizhuo gently patted Lin Xiyan's back.""Is Xi 'er alright?"
Lin Xiyan shook her head and forced a smile at Li Yizhuo. Her smile was dazzling to Duan Weilin.
"I'm sorry, everyone. I still have some things to deal with. Farewell." Duan Weilin stood up and left.
After Duan Weilin left, Lin Xiyan did not feel relaxed. Instead, she felt like a storm was coming.
