After the funeral, I abused the scum with the bamboo horse

Because Nie Jiayan was uncomfortable, Shen Yunnian made a few light dishes on purpose.

Nie Jiayan likes his tofu with scallion sauce the most.

Although it looks light, the sauce is freshly boiled with shrimp and squid, poured on top of the tender tofu, and it smells very delicious.

Nie Jiayan drank a bowl of soup, and after eating half a bowl of rice with soy sauce tofu, he suddenly felt emotional, "Uncle Shen, the dishes you cook are really delicious. I wish I could cook with you when I go out to study."

In country M before, although Ben could cook Chinese food, he was a foreigner after all, and his cooking was never as authentic as Shen Yunnian's, always missing something.

So most of the time, Nie Jiayan eats Western food.

Shen Yunnian paused while picking up the food, then turned to look at Nie Jiayan, "Where does Young Master Nie want to study?"

"Um……"

Realizing that he seemed to have slipped his tongue, Nie Jiayan made a silent gesture to Shen Yunian, signaling him not to speak out.

"I want to go to the school where my brother is studying for a Ph. D., and I have passed the TOEFL test secretly. I want to surprise my brother after the college entrance examination."

Shen Yunnian's eyes dropped slightly, he closed his eyes and thought for two seconds, and said softly: "If the young master allows, I will go wherever Master Nie is going."

Nie Jiayan was immediately happy, his eyes were slightly curved, like a child who had been offered sweets, he put down his chopsticks and hugged Shen Yunnian's arm, and kept praising him: "Uncle Shen is the best, cooking delicious food is also good for me."

"Uncle Shen, I will take care of you when you get old, okay?"

Looking at Nie Jiayan's well-behaved and sensible smile, Shen Yunnian hesitated for a moment, but reached out and touched his head, with a kind smile in his eyes, "Okay, I like Young Master Nie very much, too."

He reminded: "Eat first, Master Nie, or the food will be cold in a while."

"it is good."

Nie Jiayan nodded, obediently picked up the chopsticks and continued eating.

in the main house,

After dinner, Lin Tongchen brought Lin Yixing to the study to discuss matters.

"I heard that you were injured when you went to Yunnan this time."

Lin Tongchen leaned on a cane, and slowly sat down with Lin Yixing's support, looking at him worriedly, "Is it serious?"

"Fortunately, it's just a small injury."

Lin Yixing stood aside with his back straight, and briefly reported to Lin Tongchen what he had gained from his trip to Yunnan. "The Jade Buddha from Yujiao Village has been shipped back. After the jade master completes the processing and restoration, it can be auctioned."

"In addition, there are also several jade merchants in Yunnan. They have Huanglong Yupixiu, Burmese jade bracelets and southern red agate in their hands."

"They intend to entrust us to do the auction on their behalf, and they will come to Zhancheng in person in two days."

Lin Tongchen twirled the teacup and listened, and nodded with satisfaction, "You are better than the second child. He has been to Yunnan before, but he didn't make a deal."

"I often tell him to be fair and don't take money too seriously, but he is fine and didn't listen to a single word."

Lin Yixing listened silently, his thoughts moving slightly.

Before, he also thought that the Mr. Lin that Yu Mingxiang mentioned should be Lin Shenqian, but now that his guess was confirmed, it made him feel even more confused about some things.

Lin Tongchen gave a few instructions on how to do business, but suddenly changed the subject and ordered: "Yixing, you should spend more time with that girl from the Shu family."

Shu family?

Shu Li?

Lin Yixing frowned slightly, "Grandpa, didn't you always dislike Shu Zhenxing's style?"

Unlike the Lin family, who have always been in the jade business in a regular manner, Shu Zhenxing made his fortune in real estate in the early years. Although the money came in quickly, the means were not very glorious.

Later, when he joined the upper class, he wanted to be arty, and by reselling jade calligraphy and paintings, he suddenly became a famous antique collector in Zhancheng.

And Shu Zhenxing himself is a very typical businessman with a high profile and high self-esteem. Lin Tongchen has always disdained dealing with such people.

Lin Yixing didn't understand, why would he want to match himself and Shu Li when he was so good-looking?

"It's okay to talk first. I heard from the third child that girl Shu Li has a good appearance, good character, generous and polite, and she is a good match for you."

Lin Tongchen looked at Lin Yixing as he spoke, and his eyes were full of puzzlement, "You are not too young, and you will be 28 after your birthday this year. When I was your age, your dad would know how to make soy sauce."

"I didn't hear you talk about any friends. Tell grandpa honestly, is there something wrong with you?"

Lin Yixing's breath stopped, it was really hard to imagine that Lin Tongchen would talk to him about this kind of issue.

Looking away slightly, he changed the subject a bit bluntly, "Grandpa, I have something for you."

After handing the bracelet bought by Nie Jiayan to Lin Tongchen, Lin Yixing carefully repeated what the little boyfriend said, "This bracelet can detect heart rate and pulse."

"After you wear it, let Zhang Tezhu download an app, so that we can know in time if there is any abnormality in your body."

"Although there is no major problem with your body at present, it is always good to be prepared."

Lin Tongchen gently stroked the small white box with his palm, and smiled with relief, "It's still you who are thoughtful and considerate."

As he said that, he opened the box and took out the bracelet to study.

"If the second and third child were half as filial as you, I wouldn't worry so much."

Lin Yixing looked at Lin Tongchen who couldn't put it down, and after a while, he told him in a low voice, "Grandpa, I didn't buy this, it was Jiayan who bought it."

"The time he accompanied you to the medical examination, he bought this, but he never found a chance to give it to you."

Hearing this, the smile on Lin Tongchen's face subsided slightly, and he slowly put the bracelet back into the box, he said: "That kid has a heart, please help me to thank him."

"it is good."

Seeing that Lin Tongchen seemed to be in a good mood, Lin Yixing talked about other things by the way, "Grandpa, I want Jiayan to go abroad to study in university, so he can join the company to help me after graduation."

Before he could finish his sentence, Lin Tongchen's face suddenly turned cold, and he looked at him disapprovingly, "There are good universities in China, so you don't have to go abroad to study."

"Besides, I told my second child when I got the account before, this kid won't steal anything from them, and now you want to stuff him into the company..."

Lin Tongchen sighed in a low voice, with a tone of consolation and reminder, "The second child is your second uncle after all, Yixing, don't make things difficult for grandpa."

Lin Yixing gave a soft "um", the emotion in his eyes gradually calmed down, and he didn't speak any more.

After a moment of silence, Lin Tongchen said, "Yixing, you can call me pedantic or stubborn, but I don't approve of you raising this child from the very beginning."

"Today I heard Ran Yi complain that you blocked him."

"If you can spare a little thought for that child and deal with Ran Yi, the two brothers are friendly, and your relationship with the second child will not be so tense."

Lin Yixing's jaw tensed slightly, and after hearing Lin Tongchen finished chanting, he answered, "Grandpa, Jiayan is not the same as Lin Ran."

"Lin Ran is also loved by his second uncle and aunt. Even if the sky is turned upside down, someone will clean up the mess for him and provide him with food and clothing."

"But Jiayan has nothing, he can't live without me."

"grandfather……"

Before Lin Yixing finished speaking, Lin Tongchen tapped the ground with his cane vigorously, interrupting him, "Enough!"

Lin Tongchen's tone was stern, "Is it that child who can't live without you, or you who can't live without him? Lin Yixing, don't think that grandpa is so foolish that he doesn't know anything."

Seeing that Lin Yixing's eyes were dark and rebellious, Lin Tongchen's face softened a little, and he said to him in a soft tone, "Grandpa knows, you want to make it up to him."

"But this kind of thing is your choice. His mother wanted to sell him into the Lin family. It's a matter of money and goods. We don't owe him anything."

Lin Yixing didn't want to talk to him about whether he felt guilty or not, so he was silent for a moment, and then said: "Grandpa, Jiayan is uncomfortable, I'll go back first."

After that, he turned around and walked out.

The moment Lin Yixing opened the door, Lin Tongchen's voice came again——

"Yixing, remember the four words of closeness and distance."

"It doesn't matter how close you are to that child. Ran Yicai is your younger brother. Sooner or later, you will have a family and a career."

"Don't disappoint Grandpa."

The wind in the corridor poured into the lungs, causing fine and dense tingling pain.

It was as if there was an invisible hand, choking all the words he wanted to blurt out in his throat.

Lin Yixing stood under the shadow of the lamp for a long time before picking up his steps and leaving.

When he returned to the house, Nie Jiayan had already taken a shower and was sitting on the bed.

The bed is wide and the lamps are bright, making the person look small and lonely.

Nie Jiayan was watching the video with his knees on the tablet. Seeing Lin Yixing came back, he took off one earphone and shouted, "Brother."

Lin Yi walked over, raised his hand and pressed his head, then lowered his head to look at the screen on the tablet, "What kind of unsuitable video are you watching again?"

"No," Nie Jiayan held the tablet and turned it over to show him, "I asked my classmates to help record the class video."

He explained, "It's the one that Brother Ran Yi said was wrong in the afternoon, this one is mine, I don't, I didn't secretly watch that kind of movie..."

Seeing Nie Jiayan eagerly raising his dark and bright eyes, eager to argue for himself, Lin Yixing suddenly felt that most of the stagnation in his chest had dissipated.

Gently stroking the soft hair tips under his palms with his fingertips, he bent slightly, lowered his head and kissed Nie Jiayan's raised eyelids, comforting him: "Well, I believe you."

Nie Jiayan blinked reflexively after being kissed, looked up, and met Lin Yixing's complicated gaze.

That pair of phoenix eyes, which are always warm and beautiful, now seemed tired and heavy because of too many emotions accumulated.

Nie Jiayan was slightly taken aback, and just about to speak, Lin Yixing put down his hand on his head, straightened up and said, "Go on, I'll take a shower first."

Nie Jiayan nodded, and when Lin Yixing entered the bathroom with his pajamas, he immediately put down the tablet and went downstairs to find Shen Yunnian.
