244. Yi Huaijin's Stepmother Wang
After leaving Lin Xi and Shen Chen's residence, Yi Huaijin's face darkened. As she walked, she asked Uncle Fu: "When did she come?"
Uncle Fu knew who Yi Huaijin was asking, so he turned away the servants who were following him and respectfully replied: "On the third day you left to study in a private school in Hai County."
The lady they were talking about was the noble lady who had just been greeted at the door. She was also the second daughter of Yi Huaijin's father, Yi Hong. However, Yi Huaijin's biological mother was born frail, leaving Yi Huaijin destitute of vitality, and died within two years.
Passed away.
When Yi Hong married the Wang family, Yi Huaijin was four years old.
Outsiders say that Mrs. Wang is a virtuous and virtuous person who treats her stepsons well and is filial to her mother-in-law. Even when her mother-in-law is seriously ill, she personally attends her bedside. However, the relationship between Yi Huaijin and her stepmother is not very good, and they only maintain a superficial relationship.
of peace.
Jinling is the ancestral home of the Yi family, but the Yi family did not live in Jinling. Instead, they moved to the capital with Sheng Hong's promotion. However, after Sheng Hong married the Wang family, Yi Huaijin was brought up by his grandmother, and he also followed his grandmother.
Return to live in Jinling.
This time, her grandmother was seriously ill, so Yi Hong took leave to come back for a visit. Yi Huaijin thought that only Yi Hong would come back, but she never thought that Yi Hong suddenly had business matters and that it was her stepmother Wang who arrived.
What makes Yi Huaijin even more displeased is...
"She's here, why didn't anyone notify me before?"
Uncle Fu bowed his hands in greeting and said: "Back to the young master, after the old lady became seriously ill, the family affairs should have been taken over by the old slave. But after the madam came, she took the master's handwriting and took over many important things, and no one was allowed to inform you.
She said she would give you a surprise when you come back, and you would definitely like to see her."
"Surprise? Not enough of a shock."
Yi Huaijin frowned.
Uncle Fu asked: "Master, now..."
Yi Huaijin closed his eyes. His gentle temper prevented him from doing anything drastic. He suppressed his displeasure and said, "Let her go. Let someone write a letter to my father and ask him when he can return."
.Now, it’s important that I go visit my grandmother first.”
Uncle Fu said yes, thinking of Lin Xi and Shen Chen, and said hesitantly: "Master, the two you brought back... it seems that the woman is a doctor. She is so young, and her medical skills are probably..."
Yi Huaijin said firmly: "Shen Dai is my friend. He said that Aunt Lin has good medical skills and has saved several endangered people. I believe him and I believe Aunt Lin. Furthermore, I accidentally learned from Master Chen
I heard him praise Aunt Lin for her good medical skills and for saving his grandson. Let Aunt Lin try it tomorrow and don’t think about anything else."
As he spoke, Yi Huaijin's tone became lower, "Grandma is so seriously ill this time, I can't control her much. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will try to save grandma!"
…
Lin Xi and Shen Chen rested until evening when the maid knocked on the door and asked where they would have dinner.
Lin Xi was actually reading medical books, while Shen Chen was reading account books.
The two looked at each other, Lin Xi stood up and went to open the door. After thinking for a while, he said, "Where does your young master eat?"
When he first arrived, Lin Xi thought it was better to just do as he pleased.
The maid bowed and said, "Just a moment, you two, I will go and ask."
After that, the maid left, and Lin Xi went back to continue reading.
However, it was not Yi Huaijin who was waiting for him again, but the noble lady Wang whom he had met during the day.
Her arrival surprised both Lin Xi and Shen Chen.
"I'm really sorry to have kept you two waiting for so long." Mrs. Wang acted calmly and smiled in an endearing manner, "You are the guests invited back by my family Huaijin. Naturally, you must treat yourself well to this welcoming banquet."
It’s prepared. You two please come.”
Lin Xi looked at Shen Chen, saw that he nodded, and got up and went out with him.
Mrs. Wang took them to the main hall of the front yard, talking as they walked, "Huai Jin has been withdrawn since he was a child and has few playmates. He has never wanted to go to another place to study, and he actually has many familiar people. In this way, Huai Jin and I Jin's father is relieved."
Lin Xi asked strangely: "Isn't he withdrawn? No. Huaijin has a very good temper, he is gentle and considerate, and he treats others politely."
Wang's tone paused and she said: "Huai Jin has indeed changed a lot now. This change is really good. It's all thanks to you. As a mother, I have to thank you very much."
Lin Xi felt even more strange: "We were invited back by him to treat his grandmother, not his friends. As for friends, my son is his friend. Madam, your thanks are a bit off." Why does it sound wrong? Don't deliberately try to smear Yi Huaijin.
Wang's expression paused slightly, and she looked at Lin Xi. After a moment, her eyes moved to Shen Chen, who was silent at the side.
Maybe he was looking at Shen Chen seriously. There was a hint of surprise in Wang's eyes, and he said tenderly: "Children are friends, and parents should keep in touch. I wonder what you two do at home? Look at you. They all have extraordinary bearings and don't think about ordinary people."
"Just a businessman."
"That's the case. No wonder you, madam, are sharp-tongued and talkative." Mrs. Wang smiled slightly and added, "Looking at your young age, it's unexpected that you have a son as old as my Huaijin. You really can't tell the difference between a person and his appearance. I think the two of you must have a good relationship."
Lin Xi didn't like the way she looked at Shen Chen, so he moved a step to block her view.
Shen Chen's eyes were always on Lin Xi, so he naturally noticed her move and raised his lips slightly.
Lin Xi said: "Of course my relationship with my husband-in-law is good. Madam, I think your relationship with your husband-in-law should be even better and you can understand it very well."
Mrs. Wang felt that Lin Xi's words were mocking her, so she looked a little reluctant and said: "You are joking. Huaijin values you, how can I compare with you."
"You know you can't compare, so don't say anything. Here, the front hall is here." Lin Xi said calmly.
Wang looked forward, her eyes cold.
The three of them walked in without saying anything. As soon as they took their seats, Yi Huaijin came in a hurry.
Wang was surprised and said: "Huaijin, we are all waiting for you. But there is no need to be in such a hurry, just take your time."
Yi Huaijin panted slightly, glanced at Mr. Wang, then at the food on the table, and said with a straight face: "Aunt Lin and I are eating at my grandmother's place today."
Mrs. Wang somewhat disagreed, "Your grandmother is seriously ill and it's time for her to recuperate. How can you bring outsiders to disturb her?"
"That's not necessary..."
"I specially prepared it just to catch the wind for you. Now that the food is on the table, Huaijin, please give mother a face and sit down to eat." Wang said sincerely, "I think your father knows that we are harmonious between mother and son, so he will Very happy."
Yi Huaijin frowned, looked at Lin Xi and Shen Chen sitting next to him, and had no choice but to take a seat.
Mrs. Wang seemed very happy, picking up food for Yi Huaijin, and asking about his life in private school, his homework, etc.
Yi Huaijin was silent. He only answered two out of Wang's ten sentences.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit strange. Lin Xi privately tugged on Shen Chen's sleeve and gave him a wink.
