While Shen Junyan was busy working in the company, Duan Xing had already started to take action.
He specially changed his clothes and rushed to Lin's house. When Lin Xiaoxiao saw him, her expression suddenly changed: "Why are you still here with us?"
In his eyes, he was in the same group as Lin Qiu.
He had criticized her for Lin Qiu before and stepped on her painful toes with almost every word he said. Naturally, it was impossible for him to give him a good look.
Duan Xing sighed: "Why do you, a girl, have such a fierce family? I came here specifically to talk about marriage, and I also brought generous gifts. Isn't this not sincere enough?"
"Don't pretend to be in front of me and talk about marriage. You only have Lin Qiu in your eyes. Do you think I don't know? Get out of here, I don't want to see you!"
Lin Xiaoxiao was rude and even asked the servant to chase her away.
Mr. Lin came downstairs and happened to hear this conversation. He immediately frowned and became even more disappointed with his granddaughter.
He tapped the smooth ground with his crutch, and his voice was horribly cold: "You still don't repent after seeing it. How many times have I told you to calm down this arrogant and domineering temper, but you still refuse to listen. It seems that you have turned a deaf ear to my words!"
Seeing Mr. Lin Lin Xiaoxiao, he suddenly felt like a deflated balloon, his whole body slumped.
In order to maintain her image in her grandfather's mind, she quickly apologized to Duan Xing: "I'm sorry, I was too impulsive just now. I didn't think so much. Don't take it to heart. I just thought about the things before and felt a little uncomfortable. When he gets excited, he won't hesitate to speak."
Duan Xing sneered in his heart as he spoke without hesitation.
However, before he could speak, Mother Lin preempted him: "Dad, no matter what, Xiaoxiao is young, so there is nothing wrong with her words from an emotional point of view. If you reprimand her loudly like this, she will be scared. Besides, it's so rash." It's really not polite to come here to talk about marriage."
"You still have the nerve to say such things to me. She has been spoiled and spoiled by you. Instead of reflecting, you are challenging me here."
After hearing what the old man said, Mother Lin's face changed and she hurriedly explained to herself: "Xiaoxiao is my only daughter. I don't care about anyone. It's okay for a little girl to have a temper. This is not called pampering. I... "
Mr. Lin interrupted her directly: "You don't have to say these nonsense in front of me. If you teach her well, what will happen? Locking someone in the yard and almost freezing to death is something a little girl can do in one day. By the end of the night, I was playing cards outside and drinking afternoon tea, but I didn’t focus on teaching my children.”
He and Lin's father had taught him, trying to break Lin Xiaoxiao's temperament, but because Lin's mother was too pampered, all their efforts were in vain.
After scolding Mother Lin, he turned and left.
"Mom, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. If I hadn't been willful, you wouldn't have been scolded by grandpa."
Mother Lin sighed: "Okay, as long as you know you are wrong, be careful in the future and don't yell at others."
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly: "I remember everything."
The servants secretly pouted when they saw this scene. This wealthy lady could only pretend to be good in front of her elders, and he didn't take anyone else seriously.
Lin Xiaoxiao was unhappy because she couldn't drive Duan Xing away, but she didn't say anything.
She was afraid that her anger would come out again while she was talking, and when the time came she would say some nasty things, and the old man would overhear her and teach her a lesson.
In fact, she is not afraid of teaching her a lesson, after all, Mother Lin still loves her.
But she was afraid that the old man would become suspicious, so she had to maintain her image and not be as willful as before.
At the moment, the Lin family is cleaning up, and the servants are all busy. Of course, this is what Lin Xiaoxiao meant.
She had to quickly hide all those old photos so that the Lin family could not see them, otherwise she would not be able to enjoy her happiness in peace and contentment when they discovered the truth.
According to his idea, the servants hid all the old photos in the attic.
But the huge family portrait hadn't been picked yet. Shen Junyan glanced at it and didn't pay much attention to it at first. After a few seconds, he looked back.
The little girl in the family portrait is wearing a peace charm.
His eyes stayed on the Peace Talisman, thinking to himself that this was too coincidental. Why was there a Peace Talisman here?
Although many wealthy families would ask for peace charms for their children, in Duan Xing's heart, he always felt that there was something involved.
"Why are you staring at the family photo?" Lin Xiaoxiao still had a straight face.
She liked him before, but as for him, his attention was always focused on Lin Qiu, and he didn't even look at her. Today, he suddenly came over and said anything about marriage, which seemed to her an excuse.
Hearing Lin Xiaoxiao's cold words, Duan Xing didn't take it seriously at all. He was thinking about Lin Qiu's peace charm at the moment and was focused on looking for clues.
So he answered absent-mindedly: "Nothing, I just think this family photo is very good and the little girl is pretty."
Lin Xiaoxiao's face looked even more ugly, but she didn't want to reveal too much, so she didn't say much.
However, what she didn't expect was that as soon as she calmed down, Duan Xing started to ask again: "What's the matter with not having a peace talisman? Do you also have a peace talisman?"
"What about the Peace Talisman and the Peace Talisman? Are you as crazy as Lin Qiu? Why are you pestering me to ask these questions when you have nothing to do?"
Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly became excited: "Besides, what does this matter have to do with you? It's not your turn to interfere, so I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. You said you came here to listen to me play the piano before, and you were looking for me at that time. Excuse, come here now to talk about marriage, what do you want to do?"
I didn't expect her to react so violently.
Duan Xing stopped talking to her and asked Mother Lin instead: "I just saw a peace charm on the family photo. Was this the one Miss Lin wore when she got lost as a child?"
"Yes, it was precisely because of this peace charm that I found Xiaoxiao back." Mother Lin's reaction was very cold.
But Duan Xing was very smart and perceptive, and he quickly realized that the little girl in the photo was not Lin Xiaoxiao.
It's very possible that she already knew something, otherwise she wouldn't have reacted so violently just now. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, he didn't say much and just chatted a few words.
On the other side, Lin Qiu had already prepared the meal, and Shen Junyan dragged his tired body back from the company.
As soon as he opened the door, he smelled the aroma of rice, and he felt that the fatigue on his body had disappeared a lot. It was a warm feeling that was unique to home.
Seeing Lin Qiu still busy there, his heart softened.
Originally he wanted to inquire about her whereabouts, but he decided to wait for a while.
The food on the table was very exquisite, and Lin Qiu's cooking skills improved again. There was a smile in Shen Junyan's eyes, and he felt a little warmer in his heart.
