Two hours later, Lin Xiaodong and Jiang Wei came to Yangcheng, a second-tier city, where Jiang Wei's family is! Jiang Wei's family is in good condition, considered a wealthy family, and they live in a separate house.
Before entering the house, Jiang Wei told Lin Xiaodong about the family members.
Her father has been a businessman for many years and has been traveling around for many years. He may not be able to see him even once a month.
Her biological mother passed away from cancer when he was young, and her current mother is a stepmother who treats her in a so-so way, neither cold nor warm.
This stepmother is very snobbish, dislikes the poor and loves the rich, so she asks Lin Xiaodong to take more responsibility.
There is also a half-sister in the family, who has the same virtue as her stepmother.
Lin Xiaodong followed Jiang Wei into the house carrying two bags of fruit bought from the roadside, and was immediately disliked.
After her stepmother looked at Lin Xiaodong for a few times, she threw two plastic bags over and asked Lin Xiaodong to put them on her feet to prevent her carpet from getting dirty.
This is really a bit insulting. Under normal circumstances, even if you are afraid of stepping on the dirty carpet, you should at least ask Lin Xiaodong to take off his shoes and put on the slippers specially designed for guests to enter the house.
But this old woman thought that Lin Xiaodong had athlete's foot and taking off his shoes would kill people. They didn't want him to stink up the house, so they threw two plastic bags! Jiang Wei was so angry that she ignored her stepmother and directly brought Lin Xiaodong's slippers.
, let Lin Xiaodong take off his shoes.
Fortunately, after Lin Xiaodong took off his shoes, there was no smell at all, so the old ladies' expressions calmed down.
Seeing Lin Xiaodong dressed in street clothes and wearing a pair of counterfeit sneakers, his stepmother had already put Lin Xiaodong into the ranks of hanging silk.
Without even being served a cup of tea, her stepmother took Jiang Wei to a room and said she wanted to discuss important matters.
Lin Xiaodong ran into the yard alone, closed his eyes and rested.
What Lin Xiaodong didn't expect was that at this moment, Jiang Wei was forced out by her stepmother and sister, leaving only a nanny at home watching Lin Xiaodong! When Lin Xiaodong woke up and asked the nanny, he found out that Jiang Wei had been
My stepmother and sister went on a blind date.
The other party is a rich and powerful returnee from overseas. If the marriage is negotiated, the stepmother can get a large sum of money as a gift.
For this gift, the stepmother planned to marry Jiang Wei no matter what.
After learning the news, Lin Xiaodong smiled bitterly to himself, feeling that staying here was really meaningless.
He left a phone number and asked the nanny to give it to Jiang Wei, and then left Jiang's house.
As soon as he walked out, Lin Xiaodong received a call. He picked it up and saw that it was Qiao Shan calling.
After not seeing Lin Xiaodong for a long time, Qiao Shan believed it and took the initiative to contact Lin Xiaodong.
Lin Xiaodong asked Qiao Shan what she was doing and if she wanted his help.
Since Qiao Shan cooperated with Lin Xiaodong, the business has been booming. Qiao's Hospital has become more and more famous and has become a world-class hospital.
As the head of Qiao's Hospital, Qiao Shan's status in the medical community has of course been rising steadily.
Qiao Shan told Lin Xiaodong that she was currently in Yangcheng, inspecting the business here and preparing to open a branch here.
What a coincidence. Lin Xiaodong told Qiao Shan that he was also in Yangcheng.
Qiao Shan was overjoyed after hearing this and asked where Lin Xiaodong was. She offered to pick Lin Xiaodong up and have a meal together. They hadn't seen him for a long time and she wanted to see Lin Xiaodong very much.
Lin Xiaodong looked at the street sign and asked Qiao Shan to pick him up.
What Lin Xiaodong didn't expect was that Qiao Shan was now showing off in a grand manner, driving a Rolls-Royce with the tail number 8888, attracting countless onlookers.
Lin Xiaodong happened to be at a bus stop, and there were many people standing next to him waiting for the bus.
Seeing him being picked up in such a luxurious car, how could I feel less envy, jealousy, and hatred?
Many people even took out their mobile phones, filmed the Rolls-Royce, posted the video online, and asked netizens, who would be the person who could ride in such a car?
The replies from netizens were varied, but they were all sure that it must be a big shot.
"Shanshan, isn't your car too high-profile?"
Lin Xiaodong sat in a comfortable seat and sighed.
"I can't help it. My identity is here. Of course, the car must match my identity! But you, obviously not short of money, are dressed like a prostitute. I don't know what you think!"
Qiao Shan looked at Lin Xiaodong, shook her head and smiled bitterly.
Lin Xiaodong shrugged and said: "I don't think it makes any sense to use foreign objects to decorate oneself. Apart from letting others judge me like an exhibit, I really don't think there is any benefit.
Life is real when it’s ordinary!”
"But you are too low-key and will be looked down upon.
No matter what era it is, superficial people are the majority, and people will always judge others by their appearance. If you go out like this, you will probably be laughed at!"
Qiao Shan understands human nature quite well, and what she said is so right.
Lin Xiaodong is indeed often looked down upon by others, and he is used to it! "Being laughed at is a good way for me to hone my character, and I enjoy it very much."
Lin Xiaodong said with a smile.
"Enjoying it?
You...you are committing...a bitch!"
Qiao Shan rolled her eyes at Lin Xiaodong and said angrily.
"Don't say that."
Lin Xiaodong couldn't laugh or cry.
Soon, the Rolls-Royce arrived at a hotel. When Qiao Shan picked up Lin Xiaodong, she had already booked the restaurant in advance.
This hotel is the best hotel in Yangcheng, and the food inside is very special. Qiao Shan has been eating here since she came to Yangcheng.
The hotel is divided into three floors. There are no private rooms. The third floor is a place that represents status.
The location Qiao Shan decided was of course on the third floor.
As soon as they arrived on the third floor, Qiao Shan told Lin Xiaodong where to sit and asked him to sit down first while she went to the bathroom.
Lin Xiaodong raised his eyes and glanced around. He hadn't found the seat yet, but he saw Jiang Wei.
In addition to Jiang Wei, her stepmother and sister were also there, as well as a thin and dry young man. This young man was dressed in brand-name clothes. He looked coy and pretentious while eating, and looked like a well-educated gentleman! Lin Xiaodong didn't want to disturb Jiang Wei's blind date.
But the seat Qiao Shan set was right next to Jiang Wei's table.
Then there was no other way, Lin Xiaodong had no choice but to walk over.
"Mr. Lin, why are you here?
I'm really sorry that I didn't greet you well, please forgive me."
Being so close, of course he would be seen. Before Lin Xiaodong could sit down, Jiang Wei saw him.
"It doesn't matter, I know you are helpless."
Lin Xiaodong knew very well that the reason Jiang Wei left him was because she was forcibly pulled out by her stepmother.
"Mrs. Jiang, who is this person and what is his relationship with Jiang Wei?"
The young man's face suddenly became unhappy. Jiang Wei was the woman he was interested in. Of course he didn't want Jiang Wei to meet too many handsome men.
"Ignore him, he is one of Jiang Wei's classmates. He probably came here secretly to make a living!"
Mrs. Jiang gave Lin Xiaodong a hard look and said with disdain.
