Lin Xi felt that she was worrying too much, but things were gradually developing in a strange direction.
At first, she was worried that Mother Lin would continue to be indifferent to Chu Muqing, and the two families might become very stiff when they met, and her mother-in-law also expressed various nervousness towards her and Chu Muqing before coming.
Mother Chu said on the phone that she was afraid of being rude to her in-laws. After all, the Lin family is a so-called "big family" in the entire capital, and there are many rules in a big family, so she made special "grand" preparations, such as wearing her expensive dress. vintage suits, and carefully selected gifts.
However, she found out that Lin Dongxing was a student she had taught, and it caused her the most headaches. Whenever she was in class, she interrupted her class in various ways, and she asked Lin Dongxing's class teacher to invite parents, and even Lin's mother because of Lin Dongxing. This 'problem boy' was called to the homeroom teacher's office many times, and after Lin's mother apologized to Chu's mother and the homeroom teacher in various ways...
The two mothers first exchanged polite greetings, and then entered the hotel banquet hall for 5 minutes of embarrassment, and then the two mothers chatted warmly.
They talked and laughed like no one else was around, and the others at the table began to look at each other.
Lin Dongxing and Lin Xi sat together. Lin Xi was dazed for a while, and gradually understood the general idea of the matter from the conversation between the two mothers about the past.
When Lin Dongxing was studying, he had yellow hair, he was not stingy, and his relatives did not recognize him. He was afraid of Mrs. Lin, the "stepmother", and the meticulous "Mother Chu".
"Perhaps you believe it, the young master was a school bully back then." Lin Dongxing said triumphantly to Lin Xi beside him.
Lin Xi: ...
Lin Xi and Chu Muqing looked at each other, and they both saw smiles in each other's eyes.
"Don't you believe it?" Lin Dongxing was very dissatisfied with their teasing eyes, lowered his voice and said, "If you don't believe me, go and ask, in the entire Xicheng District, there is no one who didn't know Mr. Lin back then."
When he said this, Lin Xi was sipping tea and almost coughed out of choking.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief, then tilted her head and said to him: "Xinxinxin, second brother, I believe everything you say."
On the other hand, Mama Lin and Mama Chu are as close as sisters.
Mother Lin looked at the large and small boxes of gifts that Lin Licheng took over and put on the table, and said with a smile: "You are too polite, my in-laws, why did you bring so many things?"
Mother Chu held her wrist affectionately, and said with a smile, "Hey, they are not valuable things. Mu Qing and I picked them together."
Mother Lin paused for a moment, and glanced at Chu Muqing, the gaze in her eyes became extremely soft.
Chu Muqing smiled slightly at her, then lowered her eyebrows.
Mama Lin patted the back of Mama Chu's hand, and made a serious face on purpose: "I don't want to say it's worthless. Look at that silk scarf. I let people look at it for a long time, but I didn't buy it. Is it the latest limited edition?"
"You can see it, as long as you like it." Chu's mother said with a smile: "Mu Qing's child's unit has a cooperation with this company, so it was decided in advance."
Mother Lin nodded her head and said in surprise, "That's right...Muqing's company makes clothing. It's great to cooperate with this brand, and let us as parents also benefit from it."
"Who says it's not." Mother Chu became more and more satisfied as she spoke, and then she remembered something: "It's Lin Xi who is determined to start a company by himself, and it's very impressive, and even got my nephew a job."
"I don't like to hear that anymore." Lin's mother glanced at Lin Xi before saying, "The success of her company depends on You En and the others. The team's skills are the main thing."
"Oh, oh, we are all one family." Mother Chu narrowed her eyes with a smile: "The children are all excellent."
Mother Lin nodded: "Who says it's not."
"In-laws, drink tea." Mama Chu glanced at the empty teacup on the table, and made a gesture to help Mama Lin refill the tea.
Mother Lin laughed quickly and said, "I'll be fine."
Before Mother Chu's hand touched the teapot, Lin Licheng, who had been silent all this time, had already picked up the teapot in a very 'sensible' way, and refilled the tea for the two elders.
The more they chatted, the more speculative they became. By the time the waiter from the hotel came to serve the food, the two mothers had already started exchanging contact information and adding WeChat.
Even Chu's mother said that she wanted to teach Lin's health. Lin's mother said with a smile on her face, "I've been feeling tired recently. I heard that taking a medicinal bath can improve it?"
"The medicated bath also needs to be divided into different medicines. If the combination is not good, it may be harmful to the body."
Mother Lin said in surprise, "Then you have to teach me well."
Lin Xi and Chu Muqing listened quietly at the side. These two parents seem to know how to flatter each other...
In a few words, Lin Xi and Chu Muqing praised each other.
This was really a pleasant surprise, without the imaginary tension, nor the imaginary embarrassment and stiffness...
"Look, I just said that Lin Dongxing can definitely solve everything." Lin Xi tilted his head, and lowered his voice in Chu Muqing's ear.
Chu Muqing looked at her smiling face, and asked with a soft smile helplessly, "Why didn't I know that my mother was his former teacher?"
"Well... Actually, I don't know either." Lin Xi raised his eyebrows, and looked at her with a smile again: "However, it's really a very happy thing that they can chat speculatively."
Chu Muqing replied softly, "That's right."
Lin Xi picked up the wine glass at hand, raised his arm again, touched the teacup at Chu Muqing's hand with the cup, lowered his voice, and said with a suppressed smile, "Let me respect the great Mr. Lin Dongxing."
Chu Muqing was amused by her, picked up the teacup on the table, and said cooperatively, "Okay."
Lin Xi listened to her soft "Okay", the ending was slowly drawn out, and it was as if hearing her soft voice in her ears, her entire auricles were itchy.
Lin Xi blinked, and even forgot to drink the wine on her lips. She looked at Chu Muqing, who was smiling from the corners of her eyes and brows, as if a spring breeze was blowing on her face, she was a little stunned.
Her throat was a little itchy. Looking at her delicate and fair side face, she whispered in her ear: "Smile more in the future, it's really beautiful."
Chu Muqing paused her fingers slightly, and gave her a light glance.
When she looked over, the smile in her eyes continued, half-smiling, half-smiling as if coquettish, especially attractive.
With a thought in mind, Lin Xi quickly lowered his eyes and drank the shallow wine in the glass.
The warmed wine was a bit strong, slipped down the throat and entered the stomach, bringing back some spicy and mellow thick taste, but the whole heart became warm.
Lin Xi lowered his hands, and quietly pulled off a corner of Chu Muqing's suit under the table.
Chu Muqing noticed her movement and looked at her helplessly.
At the same time, the eyes reminded:?
The corner of Lin Xi's lips curled into a smile, and he pulled it gently again.
Chu Muqing slightly raised her eyebrows, realizing what she meant, and then lowered her left hand under the table.
Lin Xi's eyes lit up, and the curvature of his lips widened. At the same time, he held Chu Muqing's hand, and the smile on the corners of his eyes and brows couldn't be contained.
Mother Lin had a panoramic view of her and Chu Muqing's actions. Even if she could talk and laugh happily with Chu's mother, it still couldn't offset her doubts about Chu Muqing.
In fact, before this, she had always suspected that Chu Muqing approached Lin Xi for another purpose.
After all, Chu Muyun's death was a fact. If Chu Muqing suspected that Lin Xi did it, then it would make sense to approach her deliberately.
But... Seeing the two children kissing Nini, most of the doubts in her heart had already disappeared.
In addition, she asked people to check Chu Muqing's past in various ways. Whether it is her work ability or character, she is also well-known, and no one said that she was bad at all.
If such a child pretends to be in front of Lin Xi in order to get revenge, it is obviously unreasonable.
"These two children have such a good relationship." Mother Chu looked at Lin Xi and Chu Muqing with a smile, and said to Mother Lin beside her.
Mother Lin answered with a smile: "Yes."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's eyes immediately turned to Lin Xi and Chu Muqing.
Chu Muqing's face became hot, and she let go of Lin Xi's hand in an instant, her face continued to be hot, and everyone looked at her at the same time.
Lin Xi's expression was as usual, and he was not shy at all when he was caught on the spot with a small gesture of 'showing affection'.
Lin Dongxing stretched his body and approached Lin Xi, with the chopsticks in his mouth, smashed his mouth, and whispered, "Lin Xi, tell me, am I a great hero?"
Lin Xi raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Huh?"
"It's a great credit! Without me, Aunt Rong and Aunt Chu can have such a good relationship? You have to thank me well, turn around, and don't say anything else. When your company goes public, you will share [-]% of my shares. In less than ten years, I may be worth tens of billions."
Lin Xi looked at him with a smile: "Abacus is quite loud, isn't it?"
Lin Dongxing straightened his back: "You know, what do they say about me?"
"Huh?" Lin Xi pretended to be puzzled, and asked with a smile, "What?"
Lin Dongxing proudly said: "As long as the money is in place, no matter how bad the film is, I will accept it."
Lin Xi: "...Don't you think about it, fans will be disappointed with you?"
Lin Dongxing took it for granted: "Oh, they are used to it. They know that I cannot inherit the family property, so they are used to it."
Lin Xi: ...
Lin Xi pretended to be very sympathetic: "Don't worry, brother, I will give you [-]% of the shares."
Satisfied, Lin Dongxing poured wine for her himself with a smile, and made a gesture of clinking glasses with her: "That's the deal."
The voices of the two of them were very low, and no one knew what they were talking about, including Chu Muqing, who was the closest, and they didn't hear their transaction.
Lin Licheng beside Lin Dongxing looked at him, his eyes were indifferent, and he said in a low voice, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Lin Dongxing was taken aback, and quickly whispered to Lin Xi: "Good guy, I forgot that this guy can read lips."
Lin Xi:? ?
Lin Licheng reminded in a cold voice: "Don't fool Lin Xi."
Lin Dongxing looked at him flatteringly and smiled: "Alright, big brother."
Lin Licheng paused, looked at Lin Xi and suddenly said: "He lied to you. His biggest dream when he was young was to get something for nothing. He also thought of various money-making schemes written in the criminal law, and finally went to filming. He was very happy." He came to me and said that it was a very easy thing to get money by posing a few poses in front of the camera, and then he routinely cried to me once a month, saying that he had worked so hard and he regretted it.”
Lin Xi: ...
Lin Xi looked at Lin Dongxing suspiciously: "Is what big brother said..."
"Fake!" Lin Dongxing gritted his teeth and turned to stare at Lin Licheng: "Is it interesting to expose my background?"
Lin Licheng turned his head lightly, straightened his suit jacket, raised his eyebrows, and continued to taste the top quality wine.
On the other side, Mama Lin thought of something, and asked Mama Chu with a smile, "Why did the car break down on the way?"
Thinking about it, Mother Chu said helplessly: "Mu Qing's car has been in use for many years, and it is always sent for repairs. I wasted time and came late. I'm really sorry to ask you to wait."
Mother Lin glanced at Chu Muqing, and Chu Muqing just raised her eyes to look at her, with an apology in her eyes, and said softly, "Sorry, Mom."
Lin Xi froze for a moment, and immediately wanted to explain to Chu Muqing.
Who knew that Lin's mother gave her a glare and reminded: "Xiaoxi, are you reluctant to change Mu Qing's car?"
Lin Xi: ...?
Mother Lin looked at Chu Muqing, and said in a gentle voice, "She is reluctant to buy it. Come to me later, and you can choose the car in the garage."
Chu Muqing couldn't refuse, so she smiled and said, "Thank you, Mom."
"Forget it..." Mother Lin said again: "It's better to buy a new one directly, and I will go with you when the time comes."
Lin Xi looked at Mama Lin who had changed her attitude amusedly, and said deliberately: "Mom, I also want a new car, please buy me a new one."
Mother Lin looked at her and asked softly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Lin Xi: ...? ? ?
Even if it's to express that you like Chu Muqing in front of Mother Chu, you don't have to sacrifice your daughter?
But the effect was real. Mother Chu immediately comforted her, saying that she would also buy her a new car.
Lin Xi: ...
"Then what about me... What about me, two aunts? Do I have a new car?" Lin Dongxing picked up food with serving chopsticks for Chu Mama and Lin Mama with a smile on his face, "Can I have this honor?"
Mother Chu thought about her bank card deposits, and was about to agree.
Mother Lin immediately interrupted: "Let's talk about it later."
Lin Dongxing: ...
The two families finished their meal lively and left the hotel together.
When he was about to get into the car, Lin Dongxing couldn't help complaining to Lin Xi and Chu Muqing: "So this time the two parents meet, the biggest winners are you two, each of whom likes to mention a new car?"
Lin Xi: ...
Chu Muqing: ...
Both Lin Xi and Chu's mother drank, and Chu Muqing was in charge of driving.
On the way, Mother Chu received a message from Mother Lin. After reading it, Mother Chu's wrists trembled a little.
She tilted her head to look at Lin Xi who was sitting beside her, looked down at her phone, and then looked at Lin Xi again.
Lin Xi was a little confused by her actions, and finally couldn't help asking: "Mom... what's wrong with you?"
Mother Chu showed Lin Xi the phone screen and asked her, "Is what your mother... said is true?"
Lin Xi looked at the message sent by Lin's mother on the chat software, she looked at it for a while, and said with a smile: "Yes, it's true."
Mother Chu: ...
Lin's mother sent her a message, saying that Lin Dongxing had originally asked Lin Dongxing to hold a gift when she went out, but who knew that the child forgot.
In order to express her apology, Mama Lin allocated a shopping mall under her name to Mama Chu.
Mother Chu took a deep breath before looking at Lin Xi: "Xiao Lin, how should I return the gift? Oh, this...it's too precious...I..."
"Mom." Lin Xi interrupted her amusedly, and comforted her: "You can keep it at ease. Didn't she say that she gave it to my sisters, and it's not worth much."
Mother Chu: ...
After Lin Xi and Chu Muqing sent Mother Chu home, on the way back, Lin Xi sent a message to Mother Lin.
Expressed her gratitude to Mama Lin for everything she has done for her.
It took a while for Lin's mother to send her a message.
It was a photo of a middle-aged man, dressed in a suit, standing in front of an English-style church filled with white doves of peace.
This man is very handsome, even in middle age, he doesn't look old at all, but as the years go by, he becomes more and more calm and charming.
Lin Xi: [? ]
Mother Lin: [Do you still remember your Uncle Sun?He is a professor at Peking University. ]
Lin Xi: [...Remember, the photo you sent me was...? ]
Mother Lin: [Your Uncle Sun has been divorced for 20 years and has never remarried, and has no children to divide the family property in the future. His character is also good. ]
Lin Xi: [I understand the truth, what do you mean? ? ]
Mother Lin: [He is more handsome than your Uncle Lin, and the business is doing well. ]
Lin Xi: [Don't tell me, you want to match him with...]
Mother Lin: [What do you think?It would be good to introduce him to Mu Qing's mother, just to make more friends. ]
Lin Xi: [……………]
Lin Xi: [You...you can figure it out on your own, but I think it's best to test this kind of thing first, so don't just introduce it to others? ]
Mother Lin: [Of course I know this, you don’t need to remind me. ]
Lin Xi: [Hmm...]
Turning off the phone, Chu Muqing asked her while driving: "What's wrong?"
Lin Xi gave a dry laugh: "Do you think our mother wants to get married again?"
Chu Muqing: "?"
Lin Xi coughed lightly before saying, "My mother... seems to want to find you a rich stepdad."
Chu Muqing raised her eyebrows in surprise, Lin Xi was afraid that she would be too shocked, so she quickly reminded: "Then what, you should drive carefully first, and I will talk to you later."
Chu Muqing let out a breath: "What's going on?"
Lin Xi said angrily: "It's because my mother wants to be a matchmaker. She knows a good-natured and handsome university professor who has no heirs to inherit the family property and runs his own company and is very rich. He is also a teacher. She thinks it is very suitable for our mother." Looks like a good match."
Chu Muqing: ...
"Yes..." Seeing her silence, Lin Xi felt even more amused: "I think if our mother agrees, you might really have a very rich stepdad."
Hearing the obvious smile in her words, Chu Muqing couldn't help but glanced at her in the rearview mirror, and reminded: "Lin Xi—"
"Hey..." Lin Xi immediately restrained her smile and said, "I don't have any prerequisites. If our mother agrees, it's actually a good thing? If someone grows old with her, wouldn't it be nice?"
Chu Muqing thought for a moment, then replied, "En."
Since Chu Muqing has no objection, as for whether Mother Chu and that Professor Sun can succeed in the future, the key still depends on whether the two of them are willing.
However, she really felt Mama Lin's enthusiasm for Mama Chu's in-law.
Speaking of it, I should really thank Lin Dongxing. If it weren't for him, Mama Lin and Mama Chu might not be sisters...
Thinking of this, Lin Xi let out a muffled laugh.
Chu Muqing asked her, "What are you laughing at?"
Lin Xi paused, and said to Chu Muqing who was driving ahead, "I suddenly discovered that no matter how old a person is, they may not be able to avoid going on a blind date..."
Chu Muqing: ...
,
Lin Xi was met by Duan Qinglang, CEO of Cinda Private Bank, to go fishing in his private reservoir.
It snowed heavily on Thursday, and the snowflakes were flying down in the sky. Before going out, Lin Xi found that the water in his pool was frozen after passing by his pool.
She subconsciously wondered whether Duan Qinglang's private reservoir could still be used for fishing.
Lin Xi has always been afraid of the cold, and the winter in the north is cold and dry. When she goes out on such a day with heavy snow and howling wind, she cannot be said to be in a good mood.
However, Zheng Yayi called her and reminded her to try her best to "communicate" with President Duan.
After all, Duan Qinglang has just returned to China to develop, and with such a strong foreign background, Enqian's future development really needs the help of such a powerful consortium.
Although several banks in China have cooperated with Enqian for a long time, shopping malls are like battlefields, and they are always changing rapidly. No one knows what will happen in the future.
Lin Xi naturally understood this truth, and the driver sent her to Duan Qinglang's private reservoir.
The place was a bit far away, the temperature in the car was high, and Lin Xi felt a little drowsy in the car due to the warm wind, and it was snowing heavily outside the window.
Because of the snow, the driver drove the car very slowly. He had just entered the suburbs for half an hour. Looking out from the transparent glass window, he could see stretches of grass covered with snow. In the distance, there are several private estates.
Although this place belongs to the suburbs, it is eagerly purchased by rich people. After all, buying a few acres of land and turning it into a private "Xanadu" is also a personal pleasure of the rich.
Lin Xi originally had the idea of buying a piece of land, but she was waiting for the value to increase. Even if the value could not increase, it would be good to give each of the two children a house in the future as a dowry, or... as a bride price.
When she thought of the two children, she couldn't help feeling soft in her heart. The children were young and hadn't reached the age of differentiation, and she didn't know what gender they would be in the future.
The driver quickly parked the car in front of a luxurious manor. From the outside, it looked like an ancient-style official mansion with a high threshold. There were two stone lions in front of the gate, and a plaque was hung in front of the mansion. It says - Duan Fu.
This manor occupies a very large area, surrounded by open space, backed by low mountains covered with snow, it looks extremely spectacular and pleasing to the eye.
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this President Duan also bought the mountain behind him?
Lin Xi got out of the car, and the greeter at the door immediately came over, and at the same time opened the umbrella in his hand to cover Lin Xi's head.
However, the north wind howled, and even with an umbrella open, the snow in the air still burrowed straight into people's necks.
It wasn't until another person came forward and beckoned the driver to stop that Lin Xi saw a huge glass building not far away, standing in the open space, with countless luxury cars inside.
Sure enough, he is a banker with deep pockets.
Lin Xi thought to herself, and then followed the man who was in charge of welcoming her into the manor.
While walking, the man said to her: "Mr. Lin, Mr. Duan is in the reservoir, please follow me." He reminded carefully: "Be careful of slippery ground."
Lin Xi nodded politely: "Thank you."
The design of this manor really took a lot of effort, with carved beams and painted columns inside, every brick and tile is full of simplicity, manor, pavilions, pavilions and pavilions, and the smell of burning money is everywhere.
She couldn't help being deeply curious about Mr. Duan. Even the media said that a child who grew up in an orphanage went to study abroad, and his life suddenly seemed to be on the hook.
Everyone is guessing who is behind Duan Qinglang, is it a person, or a consortium...
These are unknown, Lin Xi was curious, and braved the snow to walk through the manor, came to the backyard, walked through the winding corridors, and finally pushed open the wooden door, which was a passage also made of transparent glass. Looking out from the passage, you can see the snow-covered hill.
Passing through the passage, and half a mountain away, I saw Duan Qingliang's private reservoir.
A group of men and women in suits and leather shoes, all with fishing rods in their hands, chatted loudly with each other, English mixed in, many of them were foreigners.
The focus of the topic was on the young man on the right. Lin Xi paused slightly and looked at his face, only to see that the one who was smiling and chatting with everyone with ease was the host, Duan Qinglang.
"Boss Lin, you're here." Duan Qinglang looked at her, then put down the fishing rod in her hand, and walked towards her.
He walked closer, took the initiative to smile and stretched out his hand: "Welcome, Mr. Lin, hello, I'm Duan Qinglang."
Lin Xi reached out to shake his hand, and smiled politely: "Hello, Mr. Duan, I've heard of you for a long time."
"Too polite..." Duan Qinglang said with a smile: "Nowadays, everyone knows the name of President Engan, but I have admired his name for a long time."
After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Xi and Duan Qinglang came to Diaoyutai together.
Duan Qinglang introduced her to everyone. Lin Xi had never met these people before, and they were all unfamiliar faces. Duan Qinglang's resources were not in China, but abroad. I heard that many people heard him return to China and offered to come to discuss cooperation, but they were all rejected. Duan Qinglang refused one by one.
Lin Xi said hello one by one. Although her English is a little weak, she can understand her. However, it is a bit difficult to speak, but simple communication can still be done, so there is no mistake.
Duan Qinglang introduced to everyone in pure English: "This Mr. Lin Xilin is the president of Engan Games and the lady of the Lin family of Chuangrong Group."
Everyone nodded in unison, and the blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners all looked at her appreciatively.
A tall, blond woman asked with a smile, "Ms. Lin Xi, are you married?"
Before Lin Xi could speak, Duan Qinglang replied with a smile: "Miss Lin Xi is a Beta."
Lin Xi frowned.
Duan Qinglang looked at her, noticed Lin Xi's vigilant gaze, and asked with a smile, "Huh? Did I guess wrong?"
Lin Xi looked at him calmly: "President Duan misunderstood, I am Alpha."
"Sorry." Duan Qinglang said with a smile: "The snow is too heavy, the weather is too cold, I can't feel your breath."
Lin Xi lowered his eyebrows and said softly, "It's okay."
Duan Qinglang personally took a pair of fishing gear from the servant and handed it to Lin Xi: "Boss Lin, come, let's go fishing."
Lin Xi took the fishing rod, and Duan Qinglang looked at the heavy down jacket on her body: "Mr. Lin doesn't take off his coat? Will it be inconvenient?"
Lin Xi coughed and replied, "I'm not feeling well."
Duan Qinglang smiled and said nothing.
Sure enough, the reservoir was frozen, but someone was cutting the ice with a machine. The ice was cut open, and the pole could be lowered.
Lin Xi, however, had lost all intention of fishing, and someone approached her from time to time to strike up a conversation, she responded with a few words, and fell silent again.
How did Duan Qinglang say that she is a Beta?
Has Duan Qinglang investigated her?
Or……
Is it speculation?
Unknowingly, there were fish taking the bait from time to time, and Lin Xi came for a while, but instead accidentally inserted willows, there were more fish in the bucket than anyone else.
Everyone exclaimed and praised her superb fishing skills.
But Lin Xi didn't take it seriously. When she was thinking wildly, Duan Qinglang suddenly said to everyone: "Let me introduce to you, this is my adoptive father, Duan Shaoqun."
Everyone heard the reputation and looked over, only to see an old man with gray hair walking up and down.
He was wearing a suit, and when he walked, his steps were steady, as if he was strolling in a courtyard, followed by four young men accompanying him.
Lin Xi looked at the old man and couldn't help thinking, is he the one that the media said, the person behind Duan Qinglang?
Everyone was quiet for a moment, then they all stood up and greeted this figure who looked like an emperor.
Footsteps came slowly, Lin Xi sat still, she was distracted, this man seemed familiar, maybe it was because of the scars on his face that one couldn't ignore.
It wasn't until the old man walked in front of her that Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, and politely got up to say hello: "Hello, Mr. Duan."
The old man's gaze was like an eagle, and he looked straight at her face: "You don't know me?"
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment: "Should I...should I know you?"
Duan Pingchuan looked at him for a long time, then squinted his eyes and smiled: "No, I mistook the person, you look very much like a child I met in China."
Duan Qinglang watched from the sidelines for a while, then came over and said with a smile: "Father, Boss Lin has won us all, as if chosen by the heavens, her fishing level is almost catching up to yours."
"Oh?" Duan Pingchuan smiled and looked at Lin Xi: "Compare with me?"
Lin Xi gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "This... I actually don't know much about it."
Duan Pingchuan laughed loudly: "It doesn't matter, if you beat me, Cinda Bank will be yours."
His voice was not loud, and everyone was surprised.
Lin Xi was also taken aback for a moment, she subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Duan Pingchuan didn't give her a chance to refuse, directly took the fishing rod, and asked someone to add a chair beside Lin Xi.
Everyone was staring at this "fishing competition" intently. Lin Xi was lucky this time, the fish took the bait one by one, but Duan Pingchuan didn't get much results.
Lin Xi was originally nervous, and only thought that Mr. Duan was joking.
Who knew that when the result came out and she won, Duan Pingchuan seemed to keep his promise to give her the Cinda Bank.
Lin Xi felt that this old man seemed to be crazy.
Duan Pingchuan proposed to walk with her alone, Lin Xi could only follow him out of the private reservoir and came to the vicinity of the snow-covered short mountain.
Lin Xi remained silent the whole time, thinking about how to communicate with this old man.
Duan Pingchuan said suddenly: "Xiaoxu, you should go abroad."
Lin Xi froze for a moment, then his eyes suddenly widened, looking at the old man.
"You...you are..."
The old man said slowly: "I am the one who gave you this life."
At first, she was worried that Mother Lin would continue to be indifferent to Chu Muqing, and the two families might become very stiff when they met, and her mother-in-law also expressed various nervousness towards her and Chu Muqing before coming.
Mother Chu said on the phone that she was afraid of being rude to her in-laws. After all, the Lin family is a so-called "big family" in the entire capital, and there are many rules in a big family, so she made special "grand" preparations, such as wearing her expensive dress. vintage suits, and carefully selected gifts.
However, she found out that Lin Dongxing was a student she had taught, and it caused her the most headaches. Whenever she was in class, she interrupted her class in various ways, and she asked Lin Dongxing's class teacher to invite parents, and even Lin's mother because of Lin Dongxing. This 'problem boy' was called to the homeroom teacher's office many times, and after Lin's mother apologized to Chu's mother and the homeroom teacher in various ways...
The two mothers first exchanged polite greetings, and then entered the hotel banquet hall for 5 minutes of embarrassment, and then the two mothers chatted warmly.
They talked and laughed like no one else was around, and the others at the table began to look at each other.
Lin Dongxing and Lin Xi sat together. Lin Xi was dazed for a while, and gradually understood the general idea of the matter from the conversation between the two mothers about the past.
When Lin Dongxing was studying, he had yellow hair, he was not stingy, and his relatives did not recognize him. He was afraid of Mrs. Lin, the "stepmother", and the meticulous "Mother Chu".
"Perhaps you believe it, the young master was a school bully back then." Lin Dongxing said triumphantly to Lin Xi beside him.
Lin Xi: ...
Lin Xi and Chu Muqing looked at each other, and they both saw smiles in each other's eyes.
"Don't you believe it?" Lin Dongxing was very dissatisfied with their teasing eyes, lowered his voice and said, "If you don't believe me, go and ask, in the entire Xicheng District, there is no one who didn't know Mr. Lin back then."
When he said this, Lin Xi was sipping tea and almost coughed out of choking.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief, then tilted her head and said to him: "Xinxinxin, second brother, I believe everything you say."
On the other hand, Mama Lin and Mama Chu are as close as sisters.
Mother Lin looked at the large and small boxes of gifts that Lin Licheng took over and put on the table, and said with a smile: "You are too polite, my in-laws, why did you bring so many things?"
Mother Chu held her wrist affectionately, and said with a smile, "Hey, they are not valuable things. Mu Qing and I picked them together."
Mother Lin paused for a moment, and glanced at Chu Muqing, the gaze in her eyes became extremely soft.
Chu Muqing smiled slightly at her, then lowered her eyebrows.
Mama Lin patted the back of Mama Chu's hand, and made a serious face on purpose: "I don't want to say it's worthless. Look at that silk scarf. I let people look at it for a long time, but I didn't buy it. Is it the latest limited edition?"
"You can see it, as long as you like it." Chu's mother said with a smile: "Mu Qing's child's unit has a cooperation with this company, so it was decided in advance."
Mother Lin nodded her head and said in surprise, "That's right...Muqing's company makes clothing. It's great to cooperate with this brand, and let us as parents also benefit from it."
"Who says it's not." Mother Chu became more and more satisfied as she spoke, and then she remembered something: "It's Lin Xi who is determined to start a company by himself, and it's very impressive, and even got my nephew a job."
"I don't like to hear that anymore." Lin's mother glanced at Lin Xi before saying, "The success of her company depends on You En and the others. The team's skills are the main thing."
"Oh, oh, we are all one family." Mother Chu narrowed her eyes with a smile: "The children are all excellent."
Mother Lin nodded: "Who says it's not."
"In-laws, drink tea." Mama Chu glanced at the empty teacup on the table, and made a gesture to help Mama Lin refill the tea.
Mother Lin laughed quickly and said, "I'll be fine."
Before Mother Chu's hand touched the teapot, Lin Licheng, who had been silent all this time, had already picked up the teapot in a very 'sensible' way, and refilled the tea for the two elders.
The more they chatted, the more speculative they became. By the time the waiter from the hotel came to serve the food, the two mothers had already started exchanging contact information and adding WeChat.
Even Chu's mother said that she wanted to teach Lin's health. Lin's mother said with a smile on her face, "I've been feeling tired recently. I heard that taking a medicinal bath can improve it?"
"The medicated bath also needs to be divided into different medicines. If the combination is not good, it may be harmful to the body."
Mother Lin said in surprise, "Then you have to teach me well."
Lin Xi and Chu Muqing listened quietly at the side. These two parents seem to know how to flatter each other...
In a few words, Lin Xi and Chu Muqing praised each other.
This was really a pleasant surprise, without the imaginary tension, nor the imaginary embarrassment and stiffness...
"Look, I just said that Lin Dongxing can definitely solve everything." Lin Xi tilted his head, and lowered his voice in Chu Muqing's ear.
Chu Muqing looked at her smiling face, and asked with a soft smile helplessly, "Why didn't I know that my mother was his former teacher?"
"Well... Actually, I don't know either." Lin Xi raised his eyebrows, and looked at her with a smile again: "However, it's really a very happy thing that they can chat speculatively."
Chu Muqing replied softly, "That's right."
Lin Xi picked up the wine glass at hand, raised his arm again, touched the teacup at Chu Muqing's hand with the cup, lowered his voice, and said with a suppressed smile, "Let me respect the great Mr. Lin Dongxing."
Chu Muqing was amused by her, picked up the teacup on the table, and said cooperatively, "Okay."
Lin Xi listened to her soft "Okay", the ending was slowly drawn out, and it was as if hearing her soft voice in her ears, her entire auricles were itchy.
Lin Xi blinked, and even forgot to drink the wine on her lips. She looked at Chu Muqing, who was smiling from the corners of her eyes and brows, as if a spring breeze was blowing on her face, she was a little stunned.
Her throat was a little itchy. Looking at her delicate and fair side face, she whispered in her ear: "Smile more in the future, it's really beautiful."
Chu Muqing paused her fingers slightly, and gave her a light glance.
When she looked over, the smile in her eyes continued, half-smiling, half-smiling as if coquettish, especially attractive.
With a thought in mind, Lin Xi quickly lowered his eyes and drank the shallow wine in the glass.
The warmed wine was a bit strong, slipped down the throat and entered the stomach, bringing back some spicy and mellow thick taste, but the whole heart became warm.
Lin Xi lowered his hands, and quietly pulled off a corner of Chu Muqing's suit under the table.
Chu Muqing noticed her movement and looked at her helplessly.
At the same time, the eyes reminded:?
The corner of Lin Xi's lips curled into a smile, and he pulled it gently again.
Chu Muqing slightly raised her eyebrows, realizing what she meant, and then lowered her left hand under the table.
Lin Xi's eyes lit up, and the curvature of his lips widened. At the same time, he held Chu Muqing's hand, and the smile on the corners of his eyes and brows couldn't be contained.
Mother Lin had a panoramic view of her and Chu Muqing's actions. Even if she could talk and laugh happily with Chu's mother, it still couldn't offset her doubts about Chu Muqing.
In fact, before this, she had always suspected that Chu Muqing approached Lin Xi for another purpose.
After all, Chu Muyun's death was a fact. If Chu Muqing suspected that Lin Xi did it, then it would make sense to approach her deliberately.
But... Seeing the two children kissing Nini, most of the doubts in her heart had already disappeared.
In addition, she asked people to check Chu Muqing's past in various ways. Whether it is her work ability or character, she is also well-known, and no one said that she was bad at all.
If such a child pretends to be in front of Lin Xi in order to get revenge, it is obviously unreasonable.
"These two children have such a good relationship." Mother Chu looked at Lin Xi and Chu Muqing with a smile, and said to Mother Lin beside her.
Mother Lin answered with a smile: "Yes."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's eyes immediately turned to Lin Xi and Chu Muqing.
Chu Muqing's face became hot, and she let go of Lin Xi's hand in an instant, her face continued to be hot, and everyone looked at her at the same time.
Lin Xi's expression was as usual, and he was not shy at all when he was caught on the spot with a small gesture of 'showing affection'.
Lin Dongxing stretched his body and approached Lin Xi, with the chopsticks in his mouth, smashed his mouth, and whispered, "Lin Xi, tell me, am I a great hero?"
Lin Xi raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Huh?"
"It's a great credit! Without me, Aunt Rong and Aunt Chu can have such a good relationship? You have to thank me well, turn around, and don't say anything else. When your company goes public, you will share [-]% of my shares. In less than ten years, I may be worth tens of billions."
Lin Xi looked at him with a smile: "Abacus is quite loud, isn't it?"
Lin Dongxing straightened his back: "You know, what do they say about me?"
"Huh?" Lin Xi pretended to be puzzled, and asked with a smile, "What?"
Lin Dongxing proudly said: "As long as the money is in place, no matter how bad the film is, I will accept it."
Lin Xi: "...Don't you think about it, fans will be disappointed with you?"
Lin Dongxing took it for granted: "Oh, they are used to it. They know that I cannot inherit the family property, so they are used to it."
Lin Xi: ...
Lin Xi pretended to be very sympathetic: "Don't worry, brother, I will give you [-]% of the shares."
Satisfied, Lin Dongxing poured wine for her himself with a smile, and made a gesture of clinking glasses with her: "That's the deal."
The voices of the two of them were very low, and no one knew what they were talking about, including Chu Muqing, who was the closest, and they didn't hear their transaction.
Lin Licheng beside Lin Dongxing looked at him, his eyes were indifferent, and he said in a low voice, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Lin Dongxing was taken aback, and quickly whispered to Lin Xi: "Good guy, I forgot that this guy can read lips."
Lin Xi:? ?
Lin Licheng reminded in a cold voice: "Don't fool Lin Xi."
Lin Dongxing looked at him flatteringly and smiled: "Alright, big brother."
Lin Licheng paused, looked at Lin Xi and suddenly said: "He lied to you. His biggest dream when he was young was to get something for nothing. He also thought of various money-making schemes written in the criminal law, and finally went to filming. He was very happy." He came to me and said that it was a very easy thing to get money by posing a few poses in front of the camera, and then he routinely cried to me once a month, saying that he had worked so hard and he regretted it.”
Lin Xi: ...
Lin Xi looked at Lin Dongxing suspiciously: "Is what big brother said..."
"Fake!" Lin Dongxing gritted his teeth and turned to stare at Lin Licheng: "Is it interesting to expose my background?"
Lin Licheng turned his head lightly, straightened his suit jacket, raised his eyebrows, and continued to taste the top quality wine.
On the other side, Mama Lin thought of something, and asked Mama Chu with a smile, "Why did the car break down on the way?"
Thinking about it, Mother Chu said helplessly: "Mu Qing's car has been in use for many years, and it is always sent for repairs. I wasted time and came late. I'm really sorry to ask you to wait."
Mother Lin glanced at Chu Muqing, and Chu Muqing just raised her eyes to look at her, with an apology in her eyes, and said softly, "Sorry, Mom."
Lin Xi froze for a moment, and immediately wanted to explain to Chu Muqing.
Who knew that Lin's mother gave her a glare and reminded: "Xiaoxi, are you reluctant to change Mu Qing's car?"
Lin Xi: ...?
Mother Lin looked at Chu Muqing, and said in a gentle voice, "She is reluctant to buy it. Come to me later, and you can choose the car in the garage."
Chu Muqing couldn't refuse, so she smiled and said, "Thank you, Mom."
"Forget it..." Mother Lin said again: "It's better to buy a new one directly, and I will go with you when the time comes."
Lin Xi looked at Mama Lin who had changed her attitude amusedly, and said deliberately: "Mom, I also want a new car, please buy me a new one."
Mother Lin looked at her and asked softly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Lin Xi: ...? ? ?
Even if it's to express that you like Chu Muqing in front of Mother Chu, you don't have to sacrifice your daughter?
But the effect was real. Mother Chu immediately comforted her, saying that she would also buy her a new car.
Lin Xi: ...
"Then what about me... What about me, two aunts? Do I have a new car?" Lin Dongxing picked up food with serving chopsticks for Chu Mama and Lin Mama with a smile on his face, "Can I have this honor?"
Mother Chu thought about her bank card deposits, and was about to agree.
Mother Lin immediately interrupted: "Let's talk about it later."
Lin Dongxing: ...
The two families finished their meal lively and left the hotel together.
When he was about to get into the car, Lin Dongxing couldn't help complaining to Lin Xi and Chu Muqing: "So this time the two parents meet, the biggest winners are you two, each of whom likes to mention a new car?"
Lin Xi: ...
Chu Muqing: ...
Both Lin Xi and Chu's mother drank, and Chu Muqing was in charge of driving.
On the way, Mother Chu received a message from Mother Lin. After reading it, Mother Chu's wrists trembled a little.
She tilted her head to look at Lin Xi who was sitting beside her, looked down at her phone, and then looked at Lin Xi again.
Lin Xi was a little confused by her actions, and finally couldn't help asking: "Mom... what's wrong with you?"
Mother Chu showed Lin Xi the phone screen and asked her, "Is what your mother... said is true?"
Lin Xi looked at the message sent by Lin's mother on the chat software, she looked at it for a while, and said with a smile: "Yes, it's true."
Mother Chu: ...
Lin's mother sent her a message, saying that Lin Dongxing had originally asked Lin Dongxing to hold a gift when she went out, but who knew that the child forgot.
In order to express her apology, Mama Lin allocated a shopping mall under her name to Mama Chu.
Mother Chu took a deep breath before looking at Lin Xi: "Xiao Lin, how should I return the gift? Oh, this...it's too precious...I..."
"Mom." Lin Xi interrupted her amusedly, and comforted her: "You can keep it at ease. Didn't she say that she gave it to my sisters, and it's not worth much."
Mother Chu: ...
After Lin Xi and Chu Muqing sent Mother Chu home, on the way back, Lin Xi sent a message to Mother Lin.
Expressed her gratitude to Mama Lin for everything she has done for her.
It took a while for Lin's mother to send her a message.
It was a photo of a middle-aged man, dressed in a suit, standing in front of an English-style church filled with white doves of peace.
This man is very handsome, even in middle age, he doesn't look old at all, but as the years go by, he becomes more and more calm and charming.
Lin Xi: [? ]
Mother Lin: [Do you still remember your Uncle Sun?He is a professor at Peking University. ]
Lin Xi: [...Remember, the photo you sent me was...? ]
Mother Lin: [Your Uncle Sun has been divorced for 20 years and has never remarried, and has no children to divide the family property in the future. His character is also good. ]
Lin Xi: [I understand the truth, what do you mean? ? ]
Mother Lin: [He is more handsome than your Uncle Lin, and the business is doing well. ]
Lin Xi: [Don't tell me, you want to match him with...]
Mother Lin: [What do you think?It would be good to introduce him to Mu Qing's mother, just to make more friends. ]
Lin Xi: [……………]
Lin Xi: [You...you can figure it out on your own, but I think it's best to test this kind of thing first, so don't just introduce it to others? ]
Mother Lin: [Of course I know this, you don’t need to remind me. ]
Lin Xi: [Hmm...]
Turning off the phone, Chu Muqing asked her while driving: "What's wrong?"
Lin Xi gave a dry laugh: "Do you think our mother wants to get married again?"
Chu Muqing: "?"
Lin Xi coughed lightly before saying, "My mother... seems to want to find you a rich stepdad."
Chu Muqing raised her eyebrows in surprise, Lin Xi was afraid that she would be too shocked, so she quickly reminded: "Then what, you should drive carefully first, and I will talk to you later."
Chu Muqing let out a breath: "What's going on?"
Lin Xi said angrily: "It's because my mother wants to be a matchmaker. She knows a good-natured and handsome university professor who has no heirs to inherit the family property and runs his own company and is very rich. He is also a teacher. She thinks it is very suitable for our mother." Looks like a good match."
Chu Muqing: ...
"Yes..." Seeing her silence, Lin Xi felt even more amused: "I think if our mother agrees, you might really have a very rich stepdad."
Hearing the obvious smile in her words, Chu Muqing couldn't help but glanced at her in the rearview mirror, and reminded: "Lin Xi—"
"Hey..." Lin Xi immediately restrained her smile and said, "I don't have any prerequisites. If our mother agrees, it's actually a good thing? If someone grows old with her, wouldn't it be nice?"
Chu Muqing thought for a moment, then replied, "En."
Since Chu Muqing has no objection, as for whether Mother Chu and that Professor Sun can succeed in the future, the key still depends on whether the two of them are willing.
However, she really felt Mama Lin's enthusiasm for Mama Chu's in-law.
Speaking of it, I should really thank Lin Dongxing. If it weren't for him, Mama Lin and Mama Chu might not be sisters...
Thinking of this, Lin Xi let out a muffled laugh.
Chu Muqing asked her, "What are you laughing at?"
Lin Xi paused, and said to Chu Muqing who was driving ahead, "I suddenly discovered that no matter how old a person is, they may not be able to avoid going on a blind date..."
Chu Muqing: ...
,
Lin Xi was met by Duan Qinglang, CEO of Cinda Private Bank, to go fishing in his private reservoir.
It snowed heavily on Thursday, and the snowflakes were flying down in the sky. Before going out, Lin Xi found that the water in his pool was frozen after passing by his pool.
She subconsciously wondered whether Duan Qinglang's private reservoir could still be used for fishing.
Lin Xi has always been afraid of the cold, and the winter in the north is cold and dry. When she goes out on such a day with heavy snow and howling wind, she cannot be said to be in a good mood.
However, Zheng Yayi called her and reminded her to try her best to "communicate" with President Duan.
After all, Duan Qinglang has just returned to China to develop, and with such a strong foreign background, Enqian's future development really needs the help of such a powerful consortium.
Although several banks in China have cooperated with Enqian for a long time, shopping malls are like battlefields, and they are always changing rapidly. No one knows what will happen in the future.
Lin Xi naturally understood this truth, and the driver sent her to Duan Qinglang's private reservoir.
The place was a bit far away, the temperature in the car was high, and Lin Xi felt a little drowsy in the car due to the warm wind, and it was snowing heavily outside the window.
Because of the snow, the driver drove the car very slowly. He had just entered the suburbs for half an hour. Looking out from the transparent glass window, he could see stretches of grass covered with snow. In the distance, there are several private estates.
Although this place belongs to the suburbs, it is eagerly purchased by rich people. After all, buying a few acres of land and turning it into a private "Xanadu" is also a personal pleasure of the rich.
Lin Xi originally had the idea of buying a piece of land, but she was waiting for the value to increase. Even if the value could not increase, it would be good to give each of the two children a house in the future as a dowry, or... as a bride price.
When she thought of the two children, she couldn't help feeling soft in her heart. The children were young and hadn't reached the age of differentiation, and she didn't know what gender they would be in the future.
The driver quickly parked the car in front of a luxurious manor. From the outside, it looked like an ancient-style official mansion with a high threshold. There were two stone lions in front of the gate, and a plaque was hung in front of the mansion. It says - Duan Fu.
This manor occupies a very large area, surrounded by open space, backed by low mountains covered with snow, it looks extremely spectacular and pleasing to the eye.
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this President Duan also bought the mountain behind him?
Lin Xi got out of the car, and the greeter at the door immediately came over, and at the same time opened the umbrella in his hand to cover Lin Xi's head.
However, the north wind howled, and even with an umbrella open, the snow in the air still burrowed straight into people's necks.
It wasn't until another person came forward and beckoned the driver to stop that Lin Xi saw a huge glass building not far away, standing in the open space, with countless luxury cars inside.
Sure enough, he is a banker with deep pockets.
Lin Xi thought to herself, and then followed the man who was in charge of welcoming her into the manor.
While walking, the man said to her: "Mr. Lin, Mr. Duan is in the reservoir, please follow me." He reminded carefully: "Be careful of slippery ground."
Lin Xi nodded politely: "Thank you."
The design of this manor really took a lot of effort, with carved beams and painted columns inside, every brick and tile is full of simplicity, manor, pavilions, pavilions and pavilions, and the smell of burning money is everywhere.
She couldn't help being deeply curious about Mr. Duan. Even the media said that a child who grew up in an orphanage went to study abroad, and his life suddenly seemed to be on the hook.
Everyone is guessing who is behind Duan Qinglang, is it a person, or a consortium...
These are unknown, Lin Xi was curious, and braved the snow to walk through the manor, came to the backyard, walked through the winding corridors, and finally pushed open the wooden door, which was a passage also made of transparent glass. Looking out from the passage, you can see the snow-covered hill.
Passing through the passage, and half a mountain away, I saw Duan Qingliang's private reservoir.
A group of men and women in suits and leather shoes, all with fishing rods in their hands, chatted loudly with each other, English mixed in, many of them were foreigners.
The focus of the topic was on the young man on the right. Lin Xi paused slightly and looked at his face, only to see that the one who was smiling and chatting with everyone with ease was the host, Duan Qinglang.
"Boss Lin, you're here." Duan Qinglang looked at her, then put down the fishing rod in her hand, and walked towards her.
He walked closer, took the initiative to smile and stretched out his hand: "Welcome, Mr. Lin, hello, I'm Duan Qinglang."
Lin Xi reached out to shake his hand, and smiled politely: "Hello, Mr. Duan, I've heard of you for a long time."
"Too polite..." Duan Qinglang said with a smile: "Nowadays, everyone knows the name of President Engan, but I have admired his name for a long time."
After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Xi and Duan Qinglang came to Diaoyutai together.
Duan Qinglang introduced her to everyone. Lin Xi had never met these people before, and they were all unfamiliar faces. Duan Qinglang's resources were not in China, but abroad. I heard that many people heard him return to China and offered to come to discuss cooperation, but they were all rejected. Duan Qinglang refused one by one.
Lin Xi said hello one by one. Although her English is a little weak, she can understand her. However, it is a bit difficult to speak, but simple communication can still be done, so there is no mistake.
Duan Qinglang introduced to everyone in pure English: "This Mr. Lin Xilin is the president of Engan Games and the lady of the Lin family of Chuangrong Group."
Everyone nodded in unison, and the blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners all looked at her appreciatively.
A tall, blond woman asked with a smile, "Ms. Lin Xi, are you married?"
Before Lin Xi could speak, Duan Qinglang replied with a smile: "Miss Lin Xi is a Beta."
Lin Xi frowned.
Duan Qinglang looked at her, noticed Lin Xi's vigilant gaze, and asked with a smile, "Huh? Did I guess wrong?"
Lin Xi looked at him calmly: "President Duan misunderstood, I am Alpha."
"Sorry." Duan Qinglang said with a smile: "The snow is too heavy, the weather is too cold, I can't feel your breath."
Lin Xi lowered his eyebrows and said softly, "It's okay."
Duan Qinglang personally took a pair of fishing gear from the servant and handed it to Lin Xi: "Boss Lin, come, let's go fishing."
Lin Xi took the fishing rod, and Duan Qinglang looked at the heavy down jacket on her body: "Mr. Lin doesn't take off his coat? Will it be inconvenient?"
Lin Xi coughed and replied, "I'm not feeling well."
Duan Qinglang smiled and said nothing.
Sure enough, the reservoir was frozen, but someone was cutting the ice with a machine. The ice was cut open, and the pole could be lowered.
Lin Xi, however, had lost all intention of fishing, and someone approached her from time to time to strike up a conversation, she responded with a few words, and fell silent again.
How did Duan Qinglang say that she is a Beta?
Has Duan Qinglang investigated her?
Or……
Is it speculation?
Unknowingly, there were fish taking the bait from time to time, and Lin Xi came for a while, but instead accidentally inserted willows, there were more fish in the bucket than anyone else.
Everyone exclaimed and praised her superb fishing skills.
But Lin Xi didn't take it seriously. When she was thinking wildly, Duan Qinglang suddenly said to everyone: "Let me introduce to you, this is my adoptive father, Duan Shaoqun."
Everyone heard the reputation and looked over, only to see an old man with gray hair walking up and down.
He was wearing a suit, and when he walked, his steps were steady, as if he was strolling in a courtyard, followed by four young men accompanying him.
Lin Xi looked at the old man and couldn't help thinking, is he the one that the media said, the person behind Duan Qinglang?
Everyone was quiet for a moment, then they all stood up and greeted this figure who looked like an emperor.
Footsteps came slowly, Lin Xi sat still, she was distracted, this man seemed familiar, maybe it was because of the scars on his face that one couldn't ignore.
It wasn't until the old man walked in front of her that Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, and politely got up to say hello: "Hello, Mr. Duan."
The old man's gaze was like an eagle, and he looked straight at her face: "You don't know me?"
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment: "Should I...should I know you?"
Duan Pingchuan looked at him for a long time, then squinted his eyes and smiled: "No, I mistook the person, you look very much like a child I met in China."
Duan Qinglang watched from the sidelines for a while, then came over and said with a smile: "Father, Boss Lin has won us all, as if chosen by the heavens, her fishing level is almost catching up to yours."
"Oh?" Duan Pingchuan smiled and looked at Lin Xi: "Compare with me?"
Lin Xi gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "This... I actually don't know much about it."
Duan Pingchuan laughed loudly: "It doesn't matter, if you beat me, Cinda Bank will be yours."
His voice was not loud, and everyone was surprised.
Lin Xi was also taken aback for a moment, she subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Duan Pingchuan didn't give her a chance to refuse, directly took the fishing rod, and asked someone to add a chair beside Lin Xi.
Everyone was staring at this "fishing competition" intently. Lin Xi was lucky this time, the fish took the bait one by one, but Duan Pingchuan didn't get much results.
Lin Xi was originally nervous, and only thought that Mr. Duan was joking.
Who knew that when the result came out and she won, Duan Pingchuan seemed to keep his promise to give her the Cinda Bank.
Lin Xi felt that this old man seemed to be crazy.
Duan Pingchuan proposed to walk with her alone, Lin Xi could only follow him out of the private reservoir and came to the vicinity of the snow-covered short mountain.
Lin Xi remained silent the whole time, thinking about how to communicate with this old man.
Duan Pingchuan said suddenly: "Xiaoxu, you should go abroad."
Lin Xi froze for a moment, then his eyes suddenly widened, looking at the old man.
"You...you are..."
The old man said slowly: "I am the one who gave you this life."
