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

When Lin Chaoci saw that it was Xu Qing's call, he immediately broke away from Qian Jiuyuan's arms and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window before pressing the answer button.

Her little blushing face turned pale when she heard Xu Qing's deep voice.

Holding the phone tightly, Lin Chaoci pretended to be relaxed and said, "Why would mom call me at this time? Is the card game over? How much did you win? You will give me a big red envelope when you come back in the evening."

Xu Qing's eyes were red, and she tried her best to pretend that nothing was wrong and replied, "Okay, I'll give you a big red envelope!"

"Are you busy at work? Are you tired?"

She did not forget the purpose of making this call, asking Lin Chaoci to go back to his old house for dinner in the evening, and... to clear Song Wan's name!

Xu Qing didn't know that Lin Chaoci already knew that Song Wan was her half-sister.

She didn't know how to say it, there was a family dinner at the old house tonight.

He couldn't help but start to complain about Lin Zixiang.

Why would he do this to them, mother and daughter!

Resent his ruthlessness and lack of will.

Xu Qing has been waiting at the Lin family's old house since Lin Xiongtian took Lin Zixiang and Song Qianran to the Li family to discuss the marriage between Song Wan and Fourth Young Master Li.

She always hoped that the marriage would not be discussed, so that no one could threaten Lin Chaoci's position in the Lin family.

But she knew that this was impossible.

The matter between Song Wan and Fourth Young Master Li was so big that the Li family didn't show up to stop it, which showed the problem.

Lin Zixiang and Song Qianran came back with happy faces. She knew that the engagement between the Lin family and the Li family had been completed, Song Wan was about to be welcomed back to the Lin family, and Song Qianran would also come into the sight of everyone in the Lin family.

She will become the laughing stock of everyone!

But so what, she can't leave or retreat, she has a daughter behind her who needs to be protected!

Lin Xiongtian came back later, called her to the study, said some words of comfort, and then asked her to call Lin Chaoci back to his old house.

Although he didn't say what he meant, it was obvious that he wanted to announce Song Wan's identity and marriage to the Li family to everyone in the Lin family.

Xu Qing knew that the relationship between Lin Chaoci and Song Wan was unusual, but not everyone could accept the essential change from best friends to sisters immediately.

She knew more about Lin Chaoci's feelings for Lin Zixiang, her father. Suddenly, a younger sister came to take away her father's love. How would she feel?

"Still the same, Mom, why did you suddenly ask about my work today!"

When Lin Chaoci said this, his heartbeat slowed down by half a beat.

Could it be that Xu Qing already knew that her position as general manager had been replaced by Song Wan?

Did the news spread so quickly?

Although she has learned from Lin Zihao that Xu Qing already knows that Song Wan is Lin Zixiang's illegitimate daughter, and has also met Song Wan's mother, with her temperament, she will never make a noise with them in the Lin family's old house. .

Xu Qing cares about face the most. No matter how angry she is, she will smile as long as outsiders are around.

At this moment, Lin Chaoci felt a little sorry for Xu Qing.

"Mom, I'm not busy today. I want to come back from get off work early to be with you."

"Okay!"

Xu Qing regretted it as soon as she finished answering.

"Then it's settled, I'll explain the matter and I'll be back soon!"

"Chapter speech!"

Xu Qing hurriedly stopped Lin Chaoci, fearing that she would hang up and come back immediately.

If she suddenly saw Lin Zixiang being intimate with another woman, she might not be able to bear it for a while. What if...

What Lin Xiongtian said when he called her to the study room was to ask her to tell Lin Chaoci in advance so that she could be mentally prepared and not to cause trouble at the family banquet.

After all, Song Wan is already the daughter-in-law of the Li family, and the Lin Group still needs the help of the Li family.

Even if Lin Xiongtian is still partial to Lin Chaoci, if she doesn't give Song Wan a good look and the news reaches the ears of the head of the Li family, wouldn't it be Lin's disrespect for Li?

Seeing that Lin Zixiang and Song Qianran were busy preparing for the family dinner in the evening, they hinted that the fourth young master of the Li family would also come.

This is a clear statement that he wants to support Song Wan.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Lin Chaoci was startled by Xu Qing's sharp scream.

Listening to Lin Chaoci's worried inquiry, Xu Qing realized that her reaction just now was a little too extreme.

She took a deep breath and then slowly said, "It's okay. I'm not at home. I'm at my old house. Grandpa has something big to announce. Come to the old house after you get off work!"

There are some things that can't be hidden. Instead of letting outsiders tell her, it's better to tell her herself.

"Grandpa has something big to announce! I have been back to my old house several times this month. Can I not go back?"

Lin Chaoci's heart beat like thunder.

What major event could Lin Xiongtian want to announce? Isn't it that Song Wan is a member of the Lin family? She got engaged to Fourth Master Li and became Lin's general manager.

None of these three things was a happy event for her and could make her happy.

Not only did she not want to go, she also didn't want Xu Qing to stay in Lin's old house anymore.

What does the Lin family’s celebration have to do with them!

"Mom, didn't you still talk about the food cooked by Aunt Yu yesterday? You can't eat enough every time you go to the old house. Grandpa said it a few days ago if something big happened, so it's not big. I'll come to pick you up right away. Home."

"Chao Ci, do you know something?"

It was the first time that Lin Chaoci was so resistant to returning to his old house and wanted to take her away with him. Xu Qing was not stupid and quickly realized it.

"Do you know what grandpa is going to announce tonight?"

Lin Chaoci didn't want to hide it anymore, she said, "Mom, this is all the Lin family's business and has nothing to do with us."

"What nonsense are you talking about? You are from the Lin family and this matter has a lot to do with you! Don't worry, mom is here and I will never let you be wronged! Mom will protect your interests for you and won't let outsiders take half of it! "

For a moment, Lin Chaoci didn't know what to say.

She is not the original owner "Lin Chaoci". She has no feelings for the people around her and the Lin family. She is at most better than a stranger.

Because I know the plot in the book, my feelings for Xu Qing are different from others.

Perhaps because she was an orphan, she longed for family affection and maternal love. She felt Xu Qing's deep maternal love for Lin Chaoci in the book, and she felt envious and longed for it.

She didn't want Xu Qing to suffer the same fate as in the original book, nor did she want her to lose herself because of a man who didn't love her.

"Mom, I have grown up and I can protect you. You don't have to worry about me. No one can take away what belongs to me."

"Grandpa will announce Song Wan's return to the Lin family tonight. Lin Zixiang and his family will be reunited. There is no need for the two of us to disturb them. I will come to take you back to our own home!"

Xu Qing's eyes were moistened by Lin Chaoci's sensible and considerate words.

The sad part of my heart was healed by her warm words and became strong and tough.

Her daughter has really grown up!

"I know that my Chao Ci can protect my mother, but my mother doesn't want my Chao Ci to be wronged. There are some things that I cannot give in to, let alone shrink from."

"Good boy, neither of us are allowed to be absent from the family banquet tonight. Not only do we have to dress up grandly, but we also have to sit at the main table in a grand manner."

"I was brought in by his Lin family in a sedan chair. According to the ancient etiquette, I am his Lin Zixiang's first wife, and you are his Lin Zixiang's direct daughter. Song Wan and Song Qianran can come in if they want, but they can kowtow to the two of us first and offer tea. !”

"As long as I am here and don't get divorced, Song Wan and Song Qianran will always have to bear the title of mistress and illegitimate daughter. Even if the Lin family accepts them and the Li family supports them, they will always be lower than us. .”

Xu Qing thought that Fourth Young Master Li would come to visit her at night. Their family was neat and tidy, and they were newlyweds. How could Lin Chaoci be left alone!

Although she looked down on Qian Jiuyuan, it was better than nothing at this time.

"Bring that person over tonight, remember to ask him to tidy up, and don't come here wearing random street clothes!"

"..."

It took Lin Chaoci a while to realize that Xu Qing was talking about Qian Jiuyuan.

She turned around and looked towards the sofa, but she didn't expect that the man stood quietly behind her at some point, and she didn't know how much she heard.

There was nothing he couldn't hear.

He already knew everything he should know and shouldn't know.

I was just surprised when Xu Qing took the initiative to propose that Qian Jiuyuan attend the Lin family dinner.

Xu Qing's disgust for Qian Jiuyuan was clearly displayed on her face. She had never concealed it, and nothing good had ever happened to him. This was the first time, how could she not surprise Lin Chaoci.

Qian Jiuyuan, who was standing aside, also understood the meaning of Xu Qing's words. He raised his eyebrows slightly and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

"Did you hear that? Since you're not busy, let's get off work and take that person to buy a suit of clothes that can be worn on the table. That day will be just like the last family dinner."

Lin Chaoci listened to Xu Qing's instructions, raised his eyebrows and glanced at Qian Jiuyuan with a smile, and said hummingly, "I know."

Xu Qing had already made it so clear that she could no longer persuade her to leave.

What you have to face cannot be escaped.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Chaoci looked at the time, it was already past four in the afternoon.

Although I don't know why Xu Qing asked her to dress up Qian Jiuyuan, his current outfit is really not suitable for appearing at the Lin family's family banquet.

The security uniform of the Lin Group, if Lin Xiongtian saw this, he might be trying to lecture her!

Why! This reminded Lin Chaoci of the twins this morning.

If Qian Jiuyuan hadn't been dressed like this at that time, the two of them would have looked at him more!

Lin Chaoci said to Qian Jiuyuan, who was still there and didn't know what silly music was, "Let's go!"

She decided to tidy up Qian Jiuyuan carefully. None of his old clothes could be worn anymore!

"Where to go?" Qian Jiuyuan asked deliberately pretending to be stupid.

"I'll buy you some clothes! Don't pretend you don't know anything here. You've obviously heard everything. Although I don't know why my mother said that, it must be related to the family dinner tonight. Can you guess what it is?"

Maybe Lin Chaoci didn't even notice that her attitude towards Qian Jiuyuan had changed. Her tone and attitude were no longer as stiff and confrontational as before.

Qian Jiuyuan felt it.

He liked Lin Chaoci very much, who would say whatever he wanted at the moment and ask him questions.
