silent age

After Liu Sheng left, Lin Heng pulled Bai Sihuan to his side, checked the injuries on his body, felt distressed, but still said unforgivingly: "How can someone be so useless, how many injuries will you have in a year? "

Seeing that Bai Sihuan's injuries were not serious, Lin Siying poked Lin Heng's forehead fiercely: "Don't talk about him, just now you took my peanuts and smashed that scum, I don't care, you have to pay for it."

Lin Heng rolled his eyes at Lin Siying, and said coldly, "Did you not enjoy those two catties of peanuts on Panyu Road just now?"

Lin Siying laughed a few times, and suddenly thought of something, she hurriedly asked Bai Sihuan: "By the way, the eldest sister came to ask for money, right? No one at home gave her the money, right?"

Bai Sihuan was startled, hesitated to speak, recalled the request made by the elder sister before she left, and finally shook her head and said: "No, no one at home gave her the money."

Lin Siying was quite at ease with Bai Sihuan, she nodded and didn't ask further questions.

The next day, Lin Huan and Cheng Sutang came back from Hong Kong, looking for the painting they want to give to Mr. Zhu.Before noon, the entire Lin family was called to stand in line in the hall.They were told that the painting intended for Mr Zhu was missing.The ukiyo-e from the Edo period is gone!

The servant who tidied up the paintings in the corridor stomped anxiously: "It's obviously packed and placed in the cellar, how could it disappear! I remember it clearly, it was placed there!"

Bai Sihuan, who was standing in the last row, was secretly startled, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead, he knew that this time he had really caused a catastrophe.

Lin Heng beside him didn't know what was going on, and stroked his back to tell him not to be nervous, saying that he was definitely not involved in this matter.Such reassurance made Bai Sihuan even more uneasy.

Cheng Sutang yelled for Lao Pei to adjust the monitoring. Lao Pei said that the electricity was cut for half an hour yesterday morning, and the monitoring did not return to normal until the afternoon. He just went to watch the video and saw nothing.

Cheng Sutang was furious, and asked loudly, "Who cleaned the garden yesterday!"

Aunt Liu, who was in charge of cleaning the garden, trembled, and said in a trembling voice, "Yes... I was in charge of cleaning." At this moment, the desire to survive made her brain flash the scene of Lin Musheng coming home, and immediately added, "But , But I saw the eldest lady come back yesterday!"

"Didn't I say not to let that woman in? You take my words for granted!" Cheng Sutang smashed the emerald ashtray on the coffee table, and the crisp sound shocked everyone.

Lin Huan didn't feel bad when he saw that the emerald ashtray from Burma was smashed, so he just picked up the teacup and shook the ashes.

Aunt Liu looked at the broken ashtray on the ground and trembled all over. She was afraid of Cheng Sutang's wrath, and hurriedly misled her: "We didn't let her in, it was...it was Master Sihuan who let her in, and even welcomed her..."

The few people standing hurriedly backed away to both sides, all looking at Bai Sihuan who was standing in the last row.

Bai Sihuan lowered his head, his fingers tightened, bearing the venomous gaze from Cheng Sutang.

Seeing that Cheng Sutang was about to point the finger at Bai Sihuan, Lin Heng stood up immediately, first cast a sidelong glance at Aunt Liu, and then said to Cheng Sutang: "Mom, don't be in a hurry to scold the second brother. Let's not talk about whether the second brother really gave it to you." The eldest sister opened the door, even if he really opened the door, the second brother doesn't know the eldest sister, so could he not open the door if the eldest sister begged him to open the door? Besides, he just opened the door, and he was not the one who stole the painting .”

Lin Heng poked Bai Sihuan's arm, signaling for him to speak a few words, but Bai Sihuan couldn't speak.

He promised Lin Musheng that he would not confess her, and he kept this promise, which was one of them.

Second, he didn't steal the painting, but he witnessed Lin Musheng stealing the painting. He believed Lin Musheng's lucky words and covered Lin Musheng.He is not entirely innocent.

Who would have known that Lin Musheng didn't take any paintings, but took this Ukiyo-e that he wanted to give to Mr. Zhu?

He thought, it seems that God really has eyes.The first time you do something wrong, the retribution will come.

Seeing Bai Sihuan's expression, Lin Siying saw a clue.

Bai Sihuan refused to speak, Lin Heng was anxious, and the scene froze for a while.

Bai Yuancheng is now at a time when he has no money to spend and no place to go, and he is afraid that Bai Sihuan will drive him back in two days. He wanted to find merit for himself in front of Cheng Sutang, so he quickly jumped out and said, "Actually, I saw it yesterday. !"

Cheng Sutang glanced at him. She actually disdained this wild child, and it was impossible for her to believe everything he said.But now she is eager to find someone to be her outlet, and Bai Sihuan, who makes her have a great prejudice, is the best candidate for this outlet.She was even more eager to convict the shameless illegitimate son who lived in her house, so she asked Bai Yuancheng: "What did you see?"

"I saw that young lady coming, and my brother went to the garden with her." Bai Yuancheng said calmly.

"What are you farting!" Lin Heng yelled at him immediately, glaring at him fiercely.

"Heng is none of your business here!" Cheng Sutang ordered Bai Yuancheng, "Go ahead!"

Bai Yuancheng swallowed his saliva, and didn't look into Lin Heng's eyes, "I'll just say it's strange, it's rare for my brother to hang out in such a place, so I wanted to follow up and have a look, but I saw my brother take her Went to the grape arbor, and bent down to open it for her..."

Bai Sihuan's heart was getting colder and colder, even if he was kicked out of the house by Cheng Sutang, or seeing his biological father sitting in front of him indifferent to this matter, he didn't feel so bitter in his heart.Only when he saw this younger brother whom he raised and loved since he was a child, betraying himself in such a hurry, did he feel a little pain in his heart.

Lin Heng rushed up and grabbed Bai Yuancheng by the collar, and said viciously: "Try talking nonsense again!"

"Heng! Put it down!" Cheng Sutang lost all tenderness towards Lin Heng for the first time.At the same time, she thought in her heart that this Bai Sihuan was really a scourge. From the first day she came to the Lin family, she had been scouring their family and their relationship.

With such thoughts, she has already condemned Bai Sihuan to a heinous crime in her heart, even if he didn't open the door for Lin Musheng or help Lin Musheng steal paintings, he is still a big sinner.

"Tell me, did you see Bai Sihuan take Mu Sheng to the cellar and even open the door for Mu Sheng!" Cheng Sutang forced Bai Yuancheng to tell the truth.

Lin Heng didn't let go of Bai Yuancheng for a long time, his eyes were fierce, and he gritted his teeth and threatened in a low voice: "If you dare to continue talking, I will definitely not let you go."

Bai Yuancheng, who was thrown off by Lin Heng's collar suddenly, almost fell down. After hurriedly standing still, he was so frightened that he temporarily changed his words: "I saw them going to the garden. I had a stomachache and rushed to the bathroom on the way. I didn't see anything!"

Cheng Sutang felt that she was being tricked, she gave Bai Yuancheng a hard look, and then glared at Bai Sihuan.Angry, he sneered and said, "Okay, okay, you all treat me like a paper tiger, don't you? Old Pei, call the police."

Lin Huan, who had been silent until now, froze his fingers, Lin Siying and Lin Heng widened their eyes in surprise, and even the old Pei who was ordered said "ah" in disbelief.

Bai Sihuan remained silent, seemingly calm.

His heart seems to be really calm now.

He opened the door for Lin Musheng, and there were his fingerprints on the door.He didn't think about it that much at the time, so he didn't destroy it.When the police come, they will definitely be able to collect his fingerprints.Cheng Sutang was determined to convict him, and nothing he said would help.

Now it seems that Lin Musheng thought of this earlier, so he deliberately asked him to open the door. Even if the truth was exposed, she could still say that it was Bai Sihuan who opened the door to let her take the painting, and she didn't steal it.

Thinking of this, Bai Sihuan laughed at himself from the bottom of his heart.Seeing that the eldest sister always looks pitiful, she thinks that her heart is pure, who knows that she will hide this kind of thinking.

Used by the eldest sister, betrayed by the younger brother, and watched coldly by the biological father.It turns out that he is the most pitiful person, and he has always been the only one.

Lin Siying shouted: "Mom!"

"Go away! Old Pei, why don't you call the police!" Cheng Sutang urged.

After listening to the order again, Lao Pei still moved slowly.No matter how big the incident happened to the Lin family, it was mainly private, and if it was impossible, the police would not be called.

What's the big deal if a painting that was meant to be given away was taken away?The Lin family has no shortage of such paintings, and it would be a generous gift to send any one over.

Cheng Sutang wants to strictly arrest those who steal paintings because she respects rules and family traditions, and hates those sneaky people, so she wants to kill chickens for monkeys to see.

I don't want Cheng Sutang to call the police for such a trivial matter now!It seemed that she really hated Bai Sihuan to the extreme.

"I let eldest sister go in the cellar."

Just when Lao Pei was about to press the dial button, a sentence that floated down gently fell into everyone's ears like a thousand catties.

They looked at Lin Heng in surprise, Bai Sihuan subconsciously tugged on Lin Heng's sleeve, and he threw it away immediately.

Lin Heng pretended to smile relaxedly: "How long has the second brother stayed in this house? How can he know what kind of cellar?"

"Ah Heng!" Cheng Sutang hated and angry, she hated her family members to speak for this illegitimate child.

Lin Heng ignored the warning in her eyes: "It's not that I feel sorry for the elder sister. If she doesn't have money, she will toss and die on the floor. I can't stand it anymore. I was drinking tea in the sun room that day, and she walked in Sneaky, after being caught by me, she started crying again. I opened the cellar door for her, and let her go in and get something by herself, then get out." After narrating these plainly, he calmly Looking into Cheng Sutang's eyes carefully, his tone became cold, "You call the police, then I will only say these things to the police, and the police will only arrest me."

Cheng Sutang gasped, her lips were drawn into a line, and her eyes seemed to burst out of their sockets.

Cheng Sutang couldn't believe that this child whom she had put all her heart and soul into, and loved the most, was talking to her with such a tone and eyes today because of a shameless illegitimate child!He was actually blackmailing her!

"Okay!" Lin Huan, who had been silent until now, suddenly said.He crushed the cigarette butt in the teacup with a calm expression, as if he had already made a decision.
