Gosh! The boss lady is helping her husband find green tea again!

All the way to the Lin family's old house, Xu Qing was thinking about what Lin Zixiang said to Lin Chaoci.

Did Lin Xiongtian come to them to discuss the marriage between Lin Chaoci and Qian Jiuyuan?

No way!

How much Lin Xiongtian values ​​​​Lin Chaoci and how much he cares about Qian Jiuyuan, such matters that concern the two of them must be discussed with them in person. Besides, what matters about the two of them is between her and Lin Zixiang. The one who calls the shots.

If I could make the decision, I could still have a bet in March!

It was obvious that what Lin Zixiang said was meant to deceive.

So why did the old man call them here?

Is it possible to settle accounts after the fact? Do you blame her for treating Qian Jiuyuan harshly?

The more Xu Qing thought about it, the more likely she felt that this was possible.

Worried that the old man would be angry with her, Xu Qing wanted Lin Zixiang to help calm her down and deal with it so that the old man could calm down.

After all, the Xu family is no longer the Xu family of the first-class family in the past. In Jiang City, the Xu family has become a thing of the past, declining and dilapidated. Now it can only be regarded as a small rich and small noble family, and she is no longer the Xu family. Missy!

Xu Qing wanted to talk to Lin Zixiang, but as a result, he walked away very quickly as soon as he got off the car.

She hurriedly walked slowly to stand side by side with him. Just when she was about to speak, Lin Zixiang's pace went faster, not giving her a chance to speak, which made Xu Qing angry.

Xu Qing, who has been pampered and pampered since she was a child, has always been smooth sailing, free and unrestrained, even if she gets married and has children. She rarely has troubles. At most, she is said to have a few unpleasant gossips at family gatherings. It is just because she is jealous of her. A harmonious family and a happy life.

The husband takes care of the family, and the daughter is excellent and filial.

Although Lin Zixiang has no ambitions and only indulges in calligraphy and painting, he stays at home and quietly organizes his calligraphy and painting. Unlike those men with a family, a house, and children, who go out on the pretext of work. Picking flowers and raising three, what kind of show is it, haha...

Back then, when she was the eldest daughter of the Xu family, many rich and powerful families came to seek marriage, but she fell in love with Lin Zixiang at first sight.

The Lin family wanted to cling to her, and when they learned that she liked Lin Zixiang, they couldn't wait to send her to their door.

Engagement, marriage, everything comes naturally.

They treated each other like guests and lived in peace for twenty or thirty years.

To be honest, Xu Qing is still very satisfied with Lin Zixiang.

Knowing that he had a cold temperament, didn't like to laugh, and talked less, she became less noisy and restrained Miss Jiao's temper.

It would be better if he could coax people, care for them, and know the warmth and coldness of others.

Xu Qing looked at Lin Zixiang walking in front of her infatuatedly. Even though he was forty or fifty years old, he was still tall and handsome, with a strong and slender figure, without a trace of fat, elegant and gentle. Unlike some older men who have gained weight and have a big belly, their noble temperament in their youth has been completely wiped away by the butcher's knife of time.

For a moment, her annoyance with him disappeared in her fascination.

"Zixiang, wait for me..." Xu Qing called out gently.

Lin Zixiang seemed to have not heard anything and kept walking as fast as he could.

This was very different from the situation when he came to the old house in the past, and Xu Qing couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

She always felt that something was wrong since Lin Zixiang answered that phone call. She couldn't tell exactly where at the moment. He seemed to be more energetic and less gloomy.

Even the old house he disliked the most didn't seem to be annoying now, and he was so eager to leave that he even felt a little impatient.

Apart from being arrogant and willful, women brought up by famous families cannot find any faults in other aspects, especially their manners.

No matter how much Xu Qing wanted to catch up with Lin Zixiang and appear at the gate of the old house hand in hand with him, her own upbringing and years of habits reminded her to pay attention to her manners and cultivation.

Xu Qing slowed down and gave up chasing Lin Zixiang.

When Lin Zixiang hurriedly walked into the living room of his old house, Lin Xiongtian couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw his hurried and eager look. His cloudy eyes under his drooping eyelids were obviously unhappy.

Lin Zixiang didn't seem to notice Lin Xiongtian's displeasure, and looked directly around the living room. He didn't find anyone expecting him, and the light in his eyes dimmed a little.

Lin Zixiang concealed his disappointment, walked up to Lin Xiongtian and asked, "Dad, is what you said on the phone true?"

Having been in a high position for a long time, he has long since developed a pair of penetrating eyes. Lin Zixiang's little thoughts are simply not enough for Lin Xiongtian to see.

Therefore, he was even more disappointed in him!

Regret calling him here.

"Is Xiaoqing here?"

As soon as Lin Xiongtian finished speaking, Xu Qing appeared at the door with grace and dignity.

When she heard the old man call her Xiaoqing, Xu Qing's fearful heart could finally be relieved.

"Dad, I'm coming!"

Xu Qing walked up to Lin Xiongtian with a gentle smile, and then stood together with Lin Zixiang.

Xu Qing, who used to chase Lin Zixiang's figure, this time didn't even look at Lin Zixiang from the corner of her eye. She looked at Lin Xiongtian with crooked eyebrows and asked with a smile, "I don't know what dad has to tell us when he called us here today." ?”

Lin Xiongtian was satisfied with Xu Qing as his daughter-in-law.

Except that she couldn't tell the difference between Lin Chaoci and Lin Zixiang, she couldn't take a longer view, so there was no shortcoming on his side.

In the current matter, Lin Zixiang was indeed sorry for her and the Lin family had neglected her.

But that's it.

Lin Xiongtian glared at Lin Zixiang. He was so old that he still wanted his old father to wipe his butt for him.

"This matter is neither big nor small, it's just necessary..."

Lin Xiongtian paused in embarrassment, and Xu Qing immediately answered, "As long as I can do it, dad, don't worry, I will definitely do it beautifully, and I won't let anyone say otherwise!"

"Then I'm wronging Xiaoqing."

Lin Xiongtian seemed to be relieved and said, "Wait a minute, I will take Zixiang and Song Wan's mother to the Li family to discuss Song Wan and Li Zhici's marriage. After the negotiation is completed, I will need your help in preparing for the wedding. "

"..."

Xu Qing thought she heard wrongly and asked again, "Why do you and Zixiang need to go to the wedding between Song Wan and the Li family?"

"Sir, Mrs. Song has already dressed up."

The housekeeper's voice interrupted Xu Qing's question, and then a middle-aged woman in her fifties or sixties appeared behind her.

Xu Qing looked at it silently.

The woman has a vicissitudes of life, her forehead and the ends of her eyes are covered with wrinkles, and her hair is even grayer. She looks timid and reserved, and her eyes are hollow and dull.

If Lin Xiongtian hadn't said that she was Song Wan's mother, Xu Qing would have thought that this woman was the old man's old flame.

But from the old man's point of view, he would look down on this kind of person.

From the facial features of the middle-aged woman, we can vaguely see some resemblance to Song Wan.

But, why did the Lin family need to intervene in Song Wan's marriage? Just because Chao Ci and Song Wan had a good relationship, and Song Wan had been sponsored by the Lin family all these years, she, Song Wan, clung to the Li family, wanting to repay the kindness she had received from the Lin family and let the Lin family get on the Li family's boat?

If this is the case, then Song Wan has some conscience!

Lin Xiongtian didn't want to lose the face of the Lin family, so he asked someone to dress up Song Qianran. Although she looked much better, she still couldn't compare with the gorgeous Xu Qing.

The temperament of the two of them is just like heaven and earth. I really don't know how Lin Zixiang fell in love with Song Qianran back then.

Lin Xiongtian coughed, interrupting the entangled gazes between Lin Zixiang and Song Qianran.

When Song Qianran saw Lin Zixiang again, it was as if she was in a dream. Her heart, which had been silent for a long time, began to heat up and shine, and her eyes couldn't help but become moist.

"Xiang..."

The word "brother" stuck in her throat as she accidentally knocked over the teacup in her hand.

She stood up in panic and wanted to clean up, but there was someone faster than her.

"How's it going? Are you burned? Let me see quickly..."

As he spoke, Lin Zixiang, regardless of the difference between men and women or the eyes of the people present, reached out and grabbed Song Qianran's hands to examine them.

The tension on his face and the worry in his eyes were something Xu Qing had never seen before.

Subconsciously, Xu Qing was about to excuse him, but her chest seemed to be pressed down by a big stone, her breathing became unsmooth, and she couldn't even use the strength to open her mouth.

She tightened her hands in front of her, still maintaining a decent smile on her face, looking at the man and woman whose hands seemed to be glued together.

"Zixiang, do you know Song Wan's mother? Why haven't I heard you mention her before?"

Xu Qing's voice quickly brought the two people out of their thoughts after meeting again after a long separation.

Song Qianran lowered her head, not daring to look at Xu Qing, but her hand was held tightly by Lin Zixiang, and she couldn't pull it out no matter how hard she tried.

For a moment, she was so anxious that she burst into tears.

Her weeping look made Lin Zixiang feel heartbroken.

On the way here, Lin Zixiang planned a showdown with Xu Qing.

Now, Xu Qing has no backer, and Song Qianran is about to have a powerful in-law.

Back then, he would marry Xu Qing because he liked the Xu family behind her. Now, he wants to be with Song Qianran. She has the Li family as her backer. Who dares to stop her!

"Song Wan is the daughter of Song Qianran and I. Today, my father will take Qianran and me to the Li family to discuss marriage."

Lin Zixiang didn't care whether Xu Qing could accept this information or not, and said, "From now on, I will move out of Lingshan Villa and live with Qianran and Song Wan."

"I'll give it to you as Young Mistress of the Lin family if you wish. Qianran doesn't care about these empty titles."

No longer caring about other people's opinions, Lin Zixiang took Song Qianran and sat together.

The two of them looked so glued together, more like a loving couple who had lived together for twenty or thirty years. Xu Qing's eyes were warm and her heart was cold.

She tried hard to control her voice, not wanting to sound too defeated or pitiful.

"Where's Chao Ci? You don't want her anymore!"

Lin Zixiang paused slightly and said quickly, "Lin Chaoci is my daughter, and Song Wan is also my daughter. I gave Lin Chaoci enough fatherly love in the past twenty years or so. From now on, I should double the compensation to It’s so graceful!”

Lin Zixiang said this to Song Qianran. He didn't even want to look at Xu Qing now.

"Dad, now that everything has been settled, let's go to Li's house to discuss marriage!"

Lin Xiongtian never thought that his son's rare decisiveness and neatness would be used on Xu Qing, who loved him deeply.

Regarding love, he forced him once back then, this time...

Lin Xiongtian sighed, let him go!

He looked at the pale Xu Qing with pity and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but found that he didn't know what to say.

In the end, it was the Lin family that felt sorry for her.

Xu Qing held back the tears that were rolling in her eyes. The sharp nails had already dug into her palms. The pain reminded her that she could not lose her pride and self-esteem.

Even if she is unwilling, she cannot lose her face and dignity in front of another woman!

Hysteria, fussing, crying and making noise, none of these can win back a man's heart.

She doesn't even bother to turn herself into a shrew!

Glancing coldly at the man and woman embracing each other, Xu Qing said calmly, "As the young lady of the Lin family, it was you, the eighth of the Lin family, who brought me in in a sedan chair. In front of many relatives, friends, guests and dignitaries in Jiang City, give it to me." I put the crown on it myself, I don’t insist on occupying it.”

"You can take it back if you want. Once again in front of the relatives, friends and guests of Jiang City, we announce that you, Lin Zixiang, will marry someone else. Xu Qing will no longer be the young mistress of the Lin family!"

I want her to take the initiative to file for divorce and free up the seat for other women to sit, ha...

It's not that he, Lin Zixiang, is unintelligent, or that he doesn't know how to calculate people's hearts and protect his family, but he is the one who allows him to do this. The people he thinks of protecting are not just her and Chao Ci!

I clenched the palm of my hand, hoping to make it hurt more, so that I wouldn't feel the pain in my heart!

Xu Qing took a deep breath, looked at Lin Zixiang with watery eyes, and said with a calm smile, "I have promised my father before. I will prepare the marriage between Song Wan and the Li family."

"Since Song Wan is your daughter, she is also my daughter. Being able to marry into the Li family is something that many wealthy families can only dream of. My family is not lucky enough to marry into the Li family, a first-class family. Let me, or even the Lin family Song Wan can be stained with this vanity, and that’s not bad.”

"It belongs to the Lin family. No matter how hard you run, you can't escape!"

It was expected that Xu Qing would be furious, sarcastic, and might even fight Song Qianran after knowing this, but none of this happened. She just sat there elegantly. Although her face was a little pale, she was still extremely graceful, beautiful and generous.

Her calm and indifferent look was something Lin Zixiang had never seen before. If it weren't for the twinkling stars in her eyes, he would have thought that the Xu Qing in front of him was not the Xu Qing he had lived with for twenty or thirty years.

Lin Zixiang pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a dim and unclear look flashed through his gray-black eyes hidden under the lenses.

She is unwilling to take the initiative to initiate divorce. If she wants to hold on to Mrs. Lin's position, she should do so!

At this time, the Lin family really couldn't make any more noise.

Besides, Song Wan needs a capable mother at her wedding.

It's just that Qianran may be wronged.

When Lin Zixiang looked down at Song Qianran in his arms, his eyes were so gentle that they could drip water.

This scene made Xu Qing's eyes sore and her heart beat rapidly for three seconds.

To avoid showing her ugly face, Xu Qing turned her gaze and gave Lin Xiongtian a faint smile, the bitterness of which only she knew.

"Dad, since you are going to the Li family, you have to bring some generous gifts. I will prepare them for you."

After saying these words, Xu Qing fled from here as if running away.

Lin Xiongtian looked at her thin back and sighed heavily. He turned around and saw the picture of Lin Zixiang and Song Qianran clinging to each other.

A look of decline appeared on Cang Mu's face.

The cough started again, and the housekeeper immediately brought the medicine. After Lin Xiongtian took it, his complexion improved.

Lin Zixiang also knew not to be too intimate with Song Qianran in front of the old man, but...

"Dad, Qianran..."

Lin Xiongtian knew clearly what he wanted to say.

"After I die, you can make trouble as much as you want. As long as I live for one day, Xu Qing will be the daughter-in-law of my Lin family, and Chao Ci will be the only heir of my Lin family."

Glancing at Song Qianran, who was sitting submissively aside, the disgust in Lin Xiongtian's eyes was clear.

I didn’t like it then, but now I just hate it even more!

"You didn't let Chao Ci know about this, did you?"

Lin Zixiang shook his head, "I just said that I came to discuss her wedding with Qian Jiuyuan, and she didn't ask any more questions."

"Don't let her know it yet, wait until I figure out how to tell her."

"Can……"

Lin Xiongtian cast an intimidating look, which frightened Lin Zixiang into closing his mouth immediately.

"Keep your mother and daughter's mouths shut. If the news leaks out, there is no need for you to stay in the Lin family!"

Thin beads of sweat slid down from his forehead, and Lin Zixiang finally understood Lin Chaoci's position in the old man's heart.

His statement that Lin Chaoci was his only heir seemed not to be a lie to him.

Lin Chaoci tidied the clothes that were messed up by Qian Jiuyuan in annoyance.

It was just a kiss, how could she... be taken advantage of again!

He glanced irritably at the man beside him, who was as happy as if he had stolen honey, and the anger in his heart was burning again!

In the end, she was suppressed.

"Qian Jiuyuan, do you want to call the police?"

This kind of large-scale car accident will definitely attract a lot of attention. She doesn't want to be found out and questioned afterwards, so reporting it in advance can save a lot of trouble.

The most important thing is to get Qian Jiuyuan away from him!

Those people were obviously here for him. There were so many enemies, and she didn't want to be implicated by him!

Lin Chaoci never thought that someone would kill her!
