【New Red Mansion】Perfect World

Chapter 279: Everything is too coincidental The profoundness of Chinese

Lin Pin'er went on to comfort her, "Don't worry, grandma. Big brother said earlier that he would block the news of our marriage and the news of me getting the shares. We will still go to school on the surface, but in fact we are reserving funds and will come back when we are strong enough."

After hearing this, Jia's mother felt a little relieved, but she also secretly doubted the matter of the chips and shares, thinking that it was all too coincidental.

The weather in Shanghai is hotter than in New York, and it still feels stuffy in the evening after the sun goes down.

From the small square balcony on the second floor, occasional whispers could be heard along with the scent of flowers.

"My eldest brother gave me a new task and asked me to help him bring back some national treasures. Then he would give me a chance to return to the capital with a legitimate reason. This time I didn't ask him for conditions, but he promised to protect your and my safety." Li Shuirong sat next to Lin Pin'er, put his arm around her and played with her little hands.

The flower beds here are well tended by the azaleas and mandarin ducks. The freesias are blooming gracefully in pink or light yellow. A circle of long benches are built around the flower beds, covered with thin cushions for comfortable sitting. In the middle is a stone table for drinking tea and enjoying the cool air.

"Brother, don't you have any tasks to assign to me?" Lin Pin'er's tone sounded teasing.

"No, he looked like he was backing you up today, didn't you see that? I almost suspected he was from your family..."

Lin Pin'er pulled back her hand, slightly annoyed, "I don't care. If you want to thank someone, thank Grandma. Who knows if he wants to harm you? He always orders you around. Was it also his plan to separate us?"

Li Shuirong smiled. As expected, the little girl guessed it. "We can just talk about this between us. You should still show respect to him in front of others. You should still be careful in front of him."

Lin Pin'er turned and said worriedly: "I wonder how grandma is doing now? We are so anxious but can't do anything..."

"My eldest brother told me today that I don't need to worry about my grandmother. He has my grandmother's legal team in his control, and my second brother can't do anything. Besides, our family has always been teaching people to emphasize filial piety, and he also respects my grandmother very much. He just wants shares, but he doesn't know that the shares have already been divided, and they are automatically triggered when the conditions are met."

Lin Pin'er immediately became interested: "So, grandma divided the shares into many parts? Each child can get what he wants, provided that he meets the conditions she set?"

"Smart." Li Shuirong pinched her little face and praised her.

"My grandmother really knows how to play. It's like she made the rules of the game but didn't tell us. If we do it right, we will be rewarded. This way, she can ensure her own safety while making it impossible for those who want to control her to do anything to her."

Lin Pin'er suddenly realized, "Does that mean it was really your second brother who imprisoned Grandmother? Then why didn't you go find him? Did Grandmother make this arrangement because she felt she would be threatened?"

"Maybe. We can't guess what grandma is thinking. But my second brother's properties are all over the world. We are currently investigating. We just need to find them quickly. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. As for whether grandma has a premonition, I don't know. But my grandma is a very powerful woman. She should be able to protect herself."

"Hmph, now it's you two brothers who are not in a hurry. Am I the only one who is anxious?" Pin'er refused.

"Anxious, I'm anxious too. But I believe in my elder brother, because he is more anxious than me. He also needs the help of grandmother's connections. He wants to find grandmother more urgently than anyone else." What Li Shuirong was thinking was: Li Haoze imprisoned grandmother because he knew that his elder brother needed her at this time. Let's watch the two of them fight. He can just be ignored for a while, and he can take advantage of this time to become stronger.

Yin Yue went out after dinner, saying that she had the habit of running and exercising after dinner. After running a few streets, she took a taxi to the place where Li Hanlan had arranged to meet her. There were still a few cars parked on the roadside. After getting in the car according to the license plate number, her heart could not help but beat like a thunder drum.

Seeing Jia Yuanchun still sitting in the back seat, Yin Yue's eyes became a little nervous, and she lowered her head without daring to speak.

Li Hanlan said it was okay, she knew you were responsible for protecting Lin Pin'er. Yin Yue had no choice but to report to him about Lin Pin'er's affairs in New York one by one. In fact, she had reported the things she said in bits and pieces before. After listening to a few words, Li Hanlan stopped her.

"After you return to New York, I will arrange for someone to be your assistant to help you protect them. You must ensure their safety. Especially Lin Pin'er, you must try your best to stay by her side for 24 hours. This mission is very important. When they return to China next time, your mission will be completed. I can help you arrange a good job, and then we can decide whether to stay or go. Remember not to reveal your identity."

Yin Yue nodded quickly. She didn't dare to look directly into Li Hanlan's eyes. His eyes were beautiful, but also very sharp. It seemed that he could see through what others were thinking at a glance.

In the blink of an eye, another month passed, and Li Shuirong gradually adapted to his study abroad life.

After a class that afternoon, Lin Pin'er, Amara and Yin Yue gathered at the rock climbing wall for training.

Since returning to New York last time, Yin Yue had a sudden idea to train her physical fitness. When she was at home, she would teach her some self-defense skills, and when she was in school, she would use the breaks or rest time to train her physical fitness.

This seemingly physical training activity is actually also training people's thinking. She needs to consider every step she takes in real time. Every point of force is measured by the eyes and calculated by the brain. Every step she takes is for the next dozen steps. Who says that people with strong limbs have simple minds? Just like Li Shuirong likes to play basketball, Lin Pin'er occasionally goes to his school to watch him play.

She had seen him play before in high school, but she didn't understand basketball at that time. Now she can understand his body movements, when it is a fake move, when it is a real attack, how to cooperate with teammates, how to confuse opponents or attack.

Li Hanlan has been in frequent contact with Lin Pin'er recently. When he helps Li Shuirong send clothes, he will also send one or two dresses, because he knows that Lin Pin'er needs a dress for her performance.

He would occasionally put some cards in her dress box with a small poem inside, advising her to study hard but to be determined, and to enrich her music by combining art and culture from different countries when she returns to her country.

Lin Pin'er also began to be influenced by his thoughts. She has recently been exposed to songs in different languages. But from the perspective of lyrics, foreign songs are really not as emotional as our Chinese songs. The breadth and depth of Chinese, the creation and expression of artistic conception, are indeed unmatched by foreign languages.
