The canary of the reborn paranoid boss is so delicate

Seeing that Xu Yan was relieved, Xu's father then asked Lin Xiao: "How old is Xiao Lin this year?"

"26."

"What do you do at home?"

"Business."

"What you are doing now?"

"Start your own company."

"You are so young and so powerful. Who is there in the family?"

"Dad. Why are you checking your household registration here?" Xu Yan interrupted her father in time.

Xu's father took a sip of tea, glanced at Xu Yan and said, "This is not a casual chat. I think Xiao Lin is in good spirits and is a very good young man."

Lin Xiao looked neither humble nor arrogant. After being praised by Xu's father, he responded: "Thank you uncle for the compliment."

Many people say that Lin Xiao is young and promising, and that he is better than his predecessors. I have never seen him thank others for their praise.

Xu's father just complimented him on his good spirits, and he thanked him. If his colleagues in business learned about it, they would be extremely surprised.

"It's time to start dinner." Zhang Qin shouted as he came out of the kitchen carrying the dishes.

Father Xu stood up and said to Lin Xiao, "Let's go and eat."

Lin Xiao also stood up. Father Xu took two steps, looked back at Lin Xiao and asked, "Can I have two drinks?"

Before Lin Xiao could speak, Xu Yan said for him: "Dad, Lin Xiao doesn't drink."

Xu Yan was lying. She was just worried that the wine Lin Xiao usually drank was high-end and expensive.

An ordinary family like theirs naturally doesn't have luxury wines worth tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.

She was afraid that Lin Xiao wouldn't be used to it, so she simply stopped drinking, so that she wouldn't be unable to get off the stage for a while.

However, after she finished speaking, Lin Xiao took her hand and said to Father Xu, "I'll have a drink with my uncle."

"Okay, let's have some drinks." Father Xu's face was visibly happy.

Xu Yan glanced at Lin Xiao strangely. Lin Xiao was not someone who would wrong herself for others.

Lin Xiao seemed to know Xu Yan's inner thoughts and comforted her in a low voice: "It's okay, don't worry."

After three rounds of drinking, Xu Yan found that her worries were indeed unnecessary. Lin Xiao's performance was not deliberately exaggerated, but he was able to handle the dinner table with ease.

Judging from Xu's father's expression, he was visibly happy.

Xu Yan discovered that she had another side to her opinion of Lin Xiao.

She was hesitant to bring Lin Xiao back because of Lin Xiao's character.

Having been in a high position for a long time and with a paranoid personality, she could not guarantee Lin Xiao's attitude towards her father, because she knew that Lin Xiao would not care about what other people thought of him.

Even if her father disagrees with them being together, Lin Xiao will not let go.

She accepted Lin Xiao's love, but she didn't want to give up her family because of Lin Xiao's love.

But it turns out that she still didn't understand everything about Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao's performance today somewhat subverted her previous impression of him.

But something unexpected happened. After eating, Lin Xiao took out the gifts prepared for everyone.

There were three boxes for Xu's father, one containing tea, one containing wine, and a palm-sized box. I don't know what it was.

Although the tea and wine are not popular brands, judging from the packaging, they are not cheap.

These two things were quite normal. As for the palm-sized box, Father Xu opened it curiously.

Seeing what was inside, they were confused and surprised. Zhang Qin and Xu Lan were equally surprised.

They also each received two gifts, both of which were bird's nests, with the words "Golden Snow Swallow" written on them.

There was also a box. The two of them opened it together and were both stunned.

Xu Yan looked at the box held by the three of them, feeling like something was about to get messed up.

The box in Xu's father's hand contained the keys to a Mercedes-Benz, while the boxes in Xu Lan and Zhang Qin's hands contained a sparkling diamond necklace.

"This... this..." The three of them looked at each other, unable to find words for a moment, as if they were frightened.

Lin Xiao said: "Uncle, I heard from Yanyan that you can drive. The car is the latest model and has been parked downstairs. You can go through the transfer procedures in the afternoon."

"I can't accept this." The smile on Father Xu's face disappeared and replaced with a serious expression.

He closed the box and handed it to Lin Xiao.

Zhang Qin, who was standing next to him, also closed the box and took it with Xu Lan's hand: "We can't accept it either, it's too valuable."

Lin Xiao looked at the expressions of the three of them and said, "This is just my opinion. If you don't like this style, you can change it."

Xu Yan was speechless. She still ignored the family background gap between Lin Xiao and her.

Father Xu put the car keys on the table, and then said to Xu Yan: "Xu Yan, come in with me."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the room.

Lin Xiao grabbed Xu Yan's wrist, with worry in his eyes. Although Xu Yan was helpless, she still gave him a reassuring look.

Finally, he broke away from Lin Xiao's hand and followed his father into the room.

Only Lin Xiao and Zhang Qin's mother and daughter were left in the living room. Lin Xiao looked at Xu Yan's back, watched her enter the room, and closed the door.

Zhang Qin also put the jewelry box on the table to show her attitude, but now she didn't know how to treat her stepdaughter's boyfriend.

Originally I thought he was from a wealthy family, but now he is selling cars and gems. He is obviously not an ordinary wealthy person.

She was a little worried that this marriage might not be so easy, even though Xu Yan was not her biological child.

But she has entered this family anyway, and for so many years, she has treated Xu Yan as her daughter.

Even because she is a stepmother, she is more concerned about Xu Yan than her own daughter.

So she really hopes that Xu Yan will have a good future, but now, she doesn't know whether it will be good or not, it must not be simple.

As for Xu Lan, she is still younger than the other three and is not as experienced in controlling her emotions. The surprise in her heart has already been revealed on the surface.

She also sighed in her heart that her brother-in-law not only had an unusual appearance, but also had an unusual family background.

If the jewelry is real, it must be worth a lot of money.

She just wanted to utter a sigh: Real rich people don't cheat.

As for Xu Yan, she walked into the room and was already mentally prepared.

Sure enough, as soon as the door closed, Xu's father turned around and looked at her with a serious tone: "Yanyan, tell dad the truth, who is he?"

Xu Yan said carefully: "His name is Lin Xiao, my boyfriend."

But obviously, Xu's father was not satisfied with this answer. He thought his daughter was perfunctory.

"Yanyan, I know that sometimes I don't care enough about you. You are my daughter, and I want you best in my heart. I am your father, and I will not harm you." Father Xu said.

Xu Yan knew that this hurdle would always have to be passed. She said, "Dad, I know, I didn't tell you before, but I just didn't know how to say it. Lin Xiao's family is from Haicheng, and they are indeed in business. They are indeed richer than our family."

Xu's father said: "We just met for the first time, and you gave me such an expensive gift. Do you know the gap between our two families?"

"I know," Xu Yan said.

Xu's father said: "Yanyan, dad doesn't hope that you can marry into a rich and powerful family. I just hope that you can be happy. We can't reach a family like theirs. Dad is not belittling you, he just hopes that, Don’t be blinded by the wealth in front of you.”

"Dad," Xu Yan shouted, and then said, "Do you think I am the kind of person who is greedy for vanity?"

Xu's father said: "I know you have had ideas since you were a child, but sometimes people can't see clearly when they are trapped, and the authorities are confused."

Xu Yan knew her father's worries, but Lin Xiao's identity could not be changed. He was born to be the proud son of heaven.

It was impossible for him to ask Lin Xiao to become an ordinary person just because he liked her.

"Dad, I can't." Xu Yan said.

"If dad doesn't agree with you being together..." Father Xu was interrupted by Xu Yan before he finished speaking.

"Dad, I know the gap between Lin Xiao and me. I am not with him because he is rich." Xu Yan said.

Xu's father looked at his daughter's expression and hesitated to speak. He had not been close to Xu Yan since he was a child, especially since the death of his ex-wife, the father and daughter had even less communication.

But it doesn't mean that he doesn't care about Xu Yan, he just doesn't know how to express it.

Today's conversation can be regarded as a rare heart-to-heart talk between father and daughter.

When Xu Yan and Xu's father came out of the room, Lin Xiao remained the same as when Xu Yan left.

Zhang Qin's mother and daughter standing next to her looked embarrassed.

Lin Xiao's face was expressionless at first, but when he saw Xu Yan, his face finally showed emotion.

Xu Yan walked to him and took his hand regardless of the reactions of others.

"Auntie, I'll take Lin Xiao out for a walk," Xu Yan said to Zhang Qin.

Zhang Qin glanced at her husband out of the corner of her eye, and seeing that there was no anger on his face, she said, "Okay, you guys go play, take Lin Xiao out for a walk."

Xu Yan took Lin Xiao downstairs and out of the community. Xu Yan and Lin Xiao said, "We have nothing special here. Do you have a place you want to go?"

Lin Xiao looked at Xu Yan's expression and hesitated to speak.

Xu Yan noticed it and asked: "What's wrong? I don't know where to go? How about I take you to the school where I used to study?"

Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment, then said: "Yanyan, what did your father say to you?"

Xu Yan tilted her head slightly and looked at Lin Xiao with a smile: "Want to know?"

Lin Xiao nodded, and Xu Yan said, "I thought you wouldn't care."

Lin Xiao had a solemn expression, looking at Xu Yan with an abyss-like look.

Xu Yan stopped teasing him and said, "My dad thinks the gap between our two families is too big and doesn't agree with us being together."

When Lin Xiao heard this, his expression immediately became slightly tense, and his hands hanging by his sides were clenched into fists.

Xu Yan knew what he was thinking, and continued without waiting for him to say: "However, my dad and I have expressed our determination. I like you, and unless you don't like me anymore, I won't let you go."

Lin Xiao's eyes immediately lit up, and the haze surrounding his whole body instantly dissipated.

"Yanyan," Lin Xiao was a little excited.

Xu Yan came closer to him and asked in a coquettish tone: "What, is Mr. Lin touched?"

Lin Xiao was about to answer when he heard someone calling Xu Yan's name.

"Xu Yan?"

Xu Yan and Lin Xiao looked at the source of the sound in unison.
