After class, Wei Jin received a call from Lin Jingran, who asked her to have dinner together. She felt like she had won the lottery, so she dressed up carefully and went to wait for him at the door.

While she was still looking up Lin Jingran's Baidu Encyclopedia on her phone, the car stopped in front of her. She was reading with great interest until Lin Jingran rolled down the window and called her, "Hey." She finally reacted, smiled, put away her phone, and got into the car.

"You're in such a hurry?" She took the initiative to talk.

"I left when I called you," Lin Jingran responded while driving.

"Why are you so nice? You want to treat me to a meal?" She looked at him and asked tentatively.

"It's a courtesy to return gifts," he smiled and glanced at her, looking very happy. Wei Jin then asked, "You studied in the UK, so is your English very good?"

Lin Jingran frowned and looked at her: "How do you know I'm studying in the UK?"

Wei Jin said mysteriously: "I checked."

Lin Jingran stopped talking and looked much more serious. Seeing how serious he was, Wei Jin hurriedly explained, "Baidu Baidu, where else can I check?"

"Oh," Lin Jingran suddenly realized, thought for a moment and asked again, "Why, you want to learn English?"

"Well," Wei Jin looked embarrassed, "My English is so bad. I failed the Level 3 exam twice. It's a headache!"

"Level 3?" Lin Jingran was a little puzzled. "Aren't the English levels in China Level 4 and 6?"

"You don't understand even though you have a high degree," Wei Jin couldn't help but complain, "College entrance exams start from the third level,"

"Oh," he stopped the car and waited for the red light, then looked at her again, "Then I really don't know,"

"How do you want to learn it?" Wei Jin still stared at him, "Is there any method?"

"Watch more American TV series," Lin Jingran answered seriously, "Vocabulary is the basis, and learning sentences is the key. Complete sentences, listen and speak more and you will be able to do it."

"What about subject-verb-object grammar?"

"That's all you need to know," Lin Jingran glanced at her, "Subject, predicate, and object are the same as in Chinese, not difficult, right? If you really want to apply what you've learned, you should watch more American TV shows and say things the same way. Don't break sentences apart to look at the grammar, but speak in complete sentences."

"Oh," Wei Jin nodded thoughtfully.

After parking the car in the parking lot, the two took the elevator upstairs together.

"Can I treat you to Western food?"

"It will be all right,"

Lin Jingran helped her push the chair away, and Wei Jin suddenly had the illusion that "they were dating".

"Do you want to meet your biological mother?" The first thing he said after sitting down had nothing to do with "date".

"Do you know my biological mother?" Wei Jin approached and asked.

"Yes, I wanted to help my aunt find you, but you showed up by yourself," Lin Jingran said and laughed again.

"Aunt?" Wei Jin's heart suddenly rose to his throat. "Are we relatives?"

"Yes," Lin Jingran returned the menu to the waiter after placing his order, and then said, "Your mother is my girlfriend's aunt."

Wei Jin was a little confused at the moment.

"Then isn't your girlfriend my cousin?" She finally figured it out.

"yes,"

Lin Jingran was still smiling.

"I remember I had a younger sister. When we were very young, we played together in the living room of my grandmother's house."

Wei Jin began to recall,

"Then my parents divorced, I followed my father, and I never saw her again." She still muttered,

"Well, her name is Zhong Li, and your name is Wei Jin," Lin Jingran reminded.

"My father said his family was very rich, but it seems that they are no longer alive," she said, suddenly feeling a little suffocated, and looked up to Lin Jingran to confirm: "Really?"

Lin Jingran nodded: "She was adopted by our family when she was 9 years old. Her name is Lin Yingci now."

Wei Jin's mind was in a mess again. She had indeed seen two sisters in the character relationship column on Baidu Encyclopedia. Both were named Lin Ying or something.

"That's not right," she frowned, her thoughts becoming even more confused, "Is she my sister or my girlfriend?"

"Girlfriend," Lin Jingran said calmly, and then explained, "Lover."

Steak and red wine were served, and Lin Jingran hurriedly poured her a glass.

"Take it easy first," he shook the red wine and handed it to her. Wei Jin took the red wine and asked, "Can we smoke here?"

"You smoke?" Lin Jingran said as he stood up. "That's great. Let's go out and smoke together."

·

On the restaurant terrace, everyone was sitting and smoking. Outside was the orange afterglow of the setting sun, brilliant and gorgeous.

The two of them said nothing. After finishing their cigarette, Lin Jingran couldn't help but look at Wei Jin: "Have you figured it out?"

Wei Jin blew out a puff of smoke and looked at Lin Jingran in confusion: "You didn't bring my mother here, did you?"

"No," Lin Jingran shook his head hurriedly, "I have to prepare you mentally first, but she has already come to Shanghai,"

"My mother?" Wei Jin confirmed. Lin Jingran nodded.

"When you are ready, I will arrange a meeting for you," he said, but hesitated, "I am just afraid that you will resist."

"I don't have a good impression of her," she lit another cigarette, speaking in a low voice, "She never came to me in all these years."

"She has looked for him," Lin Jingran quickly defended Yu Xiu, "A lot of things have happened in the past few years. My aunt is a very good person. She is also very good to Xiaoci. What's more, you are her biological daughter."

Wei Jin looked at him and said, "My grandmother said that she treats her niece better than me."

"Don't just listen to your grandma," Lin Jingran said directly, "You should meet her. I heard that you were studying in Shanghai and she was planning to move to Shanghai. This is the first time she asked me for help." Lin Jingran kept looking at her. "Over the years, Xiaoci and I have talked to her many times, but she just doesn't want to come."

"My biological mother is so nice," Wei Jin also looked at him: "Do you know my stepmother? She feels bad if she gives me one more dollar. She also always asks my father to give me less. She hopes that I don't have to study, buy clothes or even eat. It would be best if I don't have to spend a penny."

She was smiling, but tears welled up in her eyes. Lin Jingran lowered his head and took a tissue from the table and handed it to her.

"I'm sorry," he sighed, "it was too sudden."

Wei Jin shook her head: "It's okay, I'm willing to see her," she smiled again, "It's a good thing to have more people love me, I also want to feel what it's like to have my biological mother by my side."

Hearing her say this, Lin Jingran felt a little bitter for some reason, but he still smiled and said, "I'll make the arrangements. Let's go in and eat first. The steak will get cold later..."

Wei Jin nodded and stood up.

·

After dinner, Lin Jingran sent her back to school. When leaving the mall, Wei Jin saw him pay 160 yuan for parking and was a little shocked: "Is parking so expensive here?"

"80 an hour," he replied.

"80 an hour," Wei Jin repeated, "That's too much."

"Well, it's a bit expensive," Lin Jingran agreed.

"Not a little, a lot,"

She sighed and muttered, "Why is there such a big difference between people?"

She looked at Lin Jingran again, but Lin Jingran didn't know what to say. Wei Jin spoke again: "I must stay in Shanghai." Her thoughts suddenly became very clear.

"I want to create my own dress brand and stand out from the crowd," she did not hide her ambition at all.

Lin Jingran nodded and encouraged, "Come on."

·

Late at night, he was still on the phone with Lin Xijia.

"Okay, as long as we get there safely,"

"Well, don't worry, I'll go see her tomorrow,"

"Okay, remember to explain it to me,"

"Remember, remember, go to bed early,"

"Okay, Xijia, please,"

"fine……"
