Siheyuan: Rebirth 52, intercepting Qin Huairu

" Seeing that she was slow to move, the other party almost wanted to pull her into the car directly.

Realizing that the other person's hand was about to touch his arm, Li Chenxi's face suddenly changed. Not wanting to suffer such an injustice, he decisively got into the car.

"Everyone is here, let's go.

"After she sat down, the vehicle started immediately.

This car is used for purchasing outside and its condition is far inferior to the Qiu family's private car.

The environment inside the car was terrible, the various mixed smells were unbearable, and the bumpy road,

"Lily, you're back?" Lin Zixuan smiled softly and said, "I've been pestering Dad, asking when you'll be home.

We are studying in another city and the school is too far from home. Except during the summer vacation, we seldom have the chance to go home to see you.

I finally got this vacation, and I finally came back, but you're not at home.

Lily, I heard that you have a master. Is your master good to you? What skills did he teach you? But you must remember not to be too impatient when doing things. Being happy is the most important thing.

It’s so hot today, please come in, I’ll get you a glass of water.

"

Before Lin Li could reply, Lin Zixuan had already gently poured her some water, which was still warm and could be drunk directly.

"Would you like to wipe your sweat first?" Seeing that Lin Li was holding the cup of water but not drinking, Lin Zixuan was not angry. Instead, she patiently took out a towel that had just been wrung out of the well water and handed it to Lin Li: "The freshly wrung well water towel is very cool. Wipe it and don't let the sweat flow into your eyes. The salty sweat will sting your eyes.

"

"Yes, wipe the sweat off.

"As the only male in the family, Lin Dongliang seemed a little embarrassed at this time.

The eldest daughter had been away for several months, and even when Lin Dongliang saw Lin Zixuan for the first time during the summer vacation, he felt a sense of strangeness.

In just two or three months, Lin Zixuan has changed a lot. She is no longer the spoiled girl she used to be, but has become more considerate and sensible.

During the few days at home, Lin Zixuan not only stopped being picky about food, but also took good care of Lin Dongliang's dietary preferences.

What surprised Lin Dongliang the most was that these days he had eaten meals prepared by Lin Zixuan herself, which was impossible in the past.

As a father, Lin Dongliang was naturally very happy to see his daughter's progress.

If Lin Zixuan really reforms, Lin Dongliang will definitely accept her without reservation.

But the younger daughter Lin Li was different. Lin Dongliang knew that she might not be as tolerant as he was, so he would not demand too much from her.

"Okay, then you wait, boiling bath water is very quick, especially in the summer, the water heats up very quickly.

"Lin Zixuan did not hesitate and immediately got up and ran to the kitchen to boil water for Lin Li.

As soon as Lin Zixuan left, Lin Dongliang asked in a low voice: "Lily, your sister is back, how do you feel about it? Are you a little dissatisfied?"

"Dissatisfied?" Lin Li leaned back, drinking the water that Lin Zixuan had just poured, and sneered in her heart.

After two lifetimes, she had never imagined that she could drink the water poured by Lin Zixuan and bathe in the hot water she boiled: "Somewhat, I feel it is very unfair.

Why is it always my turn to be abandoned?

"

However, Lin Zixuan finally came back not long after. Even if she was just pretending, her father's favoritism might be affected by her sister again.

Thinking about it this way, it seems like it would be nice not to have to take my dad to college after the college entrance exam, and maybe I would be more comfortable being alone.

Since her family doesn't care about her, why should she miss them, right?

"Of course not, absolutely not.

"Lin Dongliang said nervously, it seemed that Lily was indeed angry: "Don't misunderstand, Zixuan is my daughter, aren't you my child? How could I not want you and abandon you? Lily, don't let your imagination run wild.

Your sister suddenly showed up and didn't do anything, anyway—"

"Dad, what did Xiaoxiao say?" At this time Zhang Zhentao entered the kitchen, and Zhang Yue asked casually.

"What?" Zhang Zhentao pretended not to know.

"Dad, you know it!" Zhang Yue stepped on him angrily, "I have been apologizing to you for so long, and I really realize my mistake.

Xiaoxiao is my only sister. I didn’t understand her before, which is why I had conflicts with her.

Now I understand, and I hope Xiaoxiao can forgive me.

Dad, can't you give me a hand?"

"No!" Zhang Zhentao said firmly and strictly: "I can help you with everything except this matter, but not this one.

It's not just me who won't help you, your mother won't either.

What you did before made Xiaoxiao so sad! You are all living people, not machines with hard hearts.

For his own selfish desires, he didn't care about Xiaoxiao's feelings at all.

Xiaoxiao is not only not your relative, but also has no blood connection with you? Thinking about the past few months after these things happened, I doubt whether you have any conscience! "

Zhang Zhentao felt deeply sad when he thought about how his once good daughter had become like this, and he didn't know why.

Falsely accusing his own sister, telling lies, cheating in exams, plagiarizing his sister's essay to win a prize...

Zhang Yue has done almost everything that a student should do inappropriately.

How will it become as an adult if it has been like this since childhood?

At present, she has only done minor bad things, but what Zhang Zhentao is most worried and afraid of is that when she has the ability in the future, she may do things that endanger the country and the people on a larger scale.

Whenever Zhang Zhentao thought that Zhang Yue might do something that would harm the country's economy and people's livelihood in the future, he wanted to correct her behavior immediately. As an old soldier, he would never allow his descendants to do anything that would endanger the country.

"Dad, did Xiaoxiao say something behind my back? Otherwise, why are you looking at me like that? I'm so scared." Zhang Yue felt uneasy when he was stared at by Zhang Zhentao's tiger-like eyes.

This was the first time since she was a child that she had seen her father look so ferocious.

Could it be that Xiaoxiao had slandered her a lot without her knowledge, which had affected the relationship between father and daughter?

"Look at you. You said you would correct yourself, but what have you changed? Whenever you encounter a problem, you always blame Xiaoxiao. Why don't you reflect on your own mistakes first?" Zhang Zhentao was very angry: "Xiaoxiao didn't say anything!"

If Xiaoxiao complained to him, he could still comfort himself by saying that she was just a child and would get better gradually.

It was precisely because Xiaoxiao continued to show a tolerant attitude in the face of these conflicts that Zhang Zhentao became more and more aware that the core of the problem was not the other party but Zhang Yue himself. This was not a matter of age or simple ignorance.

"Dad, don't be angry. It's because I was ignorant before and hurt Xiaoxiao that I'm worried that she won't forgive me.

I knew my guess was wrong, but I really wanted to correct it.

Give me some time to correct my mistakes step by step, okay? I'm afraid she won't see my sincerity and may misunderstand me.

Please don't worry, I won't ask for your help.

As long as I do well enough, I believe Xiaoxiao will eventually forgive me.

If I still need external help to achieve my goal, it only proves that I have not truly repented, and it is normal for her not to forgive me.

"Zhang Yue promised that he would not bother his father with this matter and would solve it himself.

"Really?" Zhang Zhentao still expressed doubt: "Xiaoxiao has a deep grudge against you, and it is not easy to ask for her forgiveness.

"

"Even if it's hard, we have to finish it!" Zhang Yue clenched his fists: "Xiaoxiao's attitude just reflects the extent of my past mistakes. I should make up for the mistakes I made with my own hands.

Dad, please don't interfere in this matter. I will try my best to make her accept me and witness my sincerity.

"

"Are you truly repentant?" Hearing her daughter's sincere words,

After making sure that Li Dongliang was far away and would not see him again, Li Zijin, who had been in high spirits just now, suddenly looked gloomy, as if shrouded in a dark cloud.

If Li Dongliang saw Li Zijin like this, he would probably never be able to laugh again.

About three minutes later, the water in the pot was about to boil. Li Zijin's expression instantly became as bright as a sunny day. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

Li Zijin adjusted his expression in front of the glass window of the kitchen. After making sure that his smile was natural, warm, and full of intimacy, he poured hot water into the bucket and personally brought it to the bathroom for Li Nan: "Nan Nan, the hot water is ready, go and take a shower.

"

Li Nan sat in the living room, staring at Li Zijin.

Li Zijin looked a little tired at this moment. Facing the fire for nearly twenty minutes in the hot summer was undoubtedly a great torture.

Sweat soaked her clothes, sticking to her body, and her hair stuck to her face like little snakes.

She felt even more uncomfortable than Li Nan, who had just returned home, and was sweating profusely.

"Nannan, what are you standing there for? Go take a shower. You will feel much better after that.

It's so hard to go out. It may feel new at first, but in the end, home is still the best.

After you take a shower, go and rest for a while. I will call you for dinner when it is ready.

"Li Zijin seems like the most ordinary big sister.

As the eldest daughter in the family, she is sensible, considerate, kind, and takes good care of her younger siblings.

At this moment, Li Zijin is simply the model of a good Chinese sister, with no flaws to be found.

"What's wrong? Are you stupid? It's been too long since we last met, so you don't recognize me anymore.

Okay, we are sisters. After the misunderstanding is resolved, we still have a lot of time to be sisters for life.

By then, I'm afraid you'll be tired of seeing me.

Many things need to be done slowly.

"Li Zijin picked up the towel that he had used to wipe Li Nan's sweat and wiped his own face.

It feels really uncomfortable to have sweat all over your face!

“You’ve definitely changed a lot.

"After a moment, Li Nan said lightly.

Li Zijin responded with a smile: "People will always change, and we must learn to grow and be responsible for our own actions.

"

"I see.

Li Nan agreed.

“Okay, let’s stop talking, I won’t be leaving for another few days.

If you have anything you want to talk about, let’s talk slowly after you have rested.

"Li Zijin gently helped Li Nan up: "You're tired after a whole day, don't lie down and do nothing as soon as you get home.

Take a shower and change your clothes so that you can sleep comfortably. Go now.

"

Li Dongliang, who had been hiding in the room and observing quietly, smiled with relief when he saw this scene.

Li Nan did not break free from Li Zijin's hand. Feeling her acceptance, Li Zijin walked in front with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

When they reached the bathroom door, Li Zijin stopped and said, "Go in and wash first, I'll help you get your clothes.

"

“No, I’ve already put the clothes in there.

"Li Nan tilted his head, with a mischievous look in his eyes: "Sister, I have a question to ask you. Of course, if you want to answer, answer it. If you don’t want to answer, forget it.
