After Cheng Liao left, Jiang Chi called back.The other party told him on the phone that the old man of Cheng's condition seemed to have suddenly worsened, and he had been sent to the intensive care unit since the morning.

"However," Jiang Chi counted carefully with his fingers, "Even if your cousin's classmate buys a ticket to return home immediately, it will take more than ten hours before they land."

Out of strange and subtle intuition and conjecture, Lin Yuanye did not echo his words.

Although the Cheng family's affairs had nothing to do with him, the incoming calls on Lin Yuanye's cell phone never stopped throughout the day.Yang Jinnian, who had promised to send him a message, called Lin Yuanye in the afternoon and told Lin Yuanye that his college classmate had returned to Cheng's house.

Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that the other party had already set off from abroad yesterday.Forcibly suppressing the suspicion and confusion in his heart, during the whole process of talking with Yang Jinnian, he remained patient and did not try or inquire.

Since I have promised Cheng Liao that I will wait for him to deal with the matter and come back, then he will naturally do what he says.Lin Yuanye decided to stay at home until Cheng Liao came back. Unexpectedly, when the people around him were so busy that they didn't touch the ground, he himself, who was originally on the sidelines, suddenly received a call from his own father, asking him to pack up and go home as soon as possible in the next two days.

He expected that his father would definitely call, but Lin Yuanye did not expect that the time would be so tight.He asked straightforwardly what it was, but Lin Changshi was vague and unwilling to tell him clearly.

Lin Yuanye finally promised him that he would go home, but he did not forget what he promised Cheng Liao.

"Give me three days." Before hanging up the phone, he asked the other party clearly.

Lin Yuanye waited for Cheng Liao for three days in the long boredom.From the second night onwards, he returned to his previous state of going to the bar to pass the time every day.However, until noon on the fourth day, he did not receive any news of Cheng Liao's return.

Maybe it's because the matter hasn't been completely resolved. As an adult, Lin Yuanye can fully understand the other party's sense of responsibility for family affairs.Maybe without his father's sudden phone call, he would still stay in the town and wait for Cheng Liao to come back.

Now that he had promised his father to go home in three days, Lin Yuanye no longer planned to stay and wait.

He simply packed the luggage to take away, and took a taxi directly from the town to the airport on the outskirts of the city.He tried to call Cheng Liao in the car, but the other party didn't pick up.And until he got on the plane, Cheng Liao didn't seem to see the missed call on his phone.

Putting this matter aside for the time being, he decided to wait until the matter between himself and Cheng Liao had been dealt with separately, and then talk to Cheng Liao about the things the other party had concealed from him.

He thought that there was something important waiting for him at home, so that when he got off the plane a few hours later, Lin Changshi made a special trip to take time off from work and brought his cousin who was still in college to pick him up.

Unexpectedly, after the two picked him up at the airport, they took him to the hotel for dinner in a leisurely manner, in the name of cleaning him up.Among them, Lin Changshi was the most exaggerated. The table in the hotel was reserved in advance. After the waiter put all the dishes together, Lin Changshi kept adding vegetables to his bowl.

"I've been wronged by living outside for the past six months. Look at my son being skinny." Lin Changshi frowned and cared about him with certainty, as if he wasn't the one who drove him out of town half a year ago.

Lin Yuanye was too lazy to cooperate with his performance, so he turned his head and raised his chin to his cousin sitting opposite him and asked, "Why are you here? Don't you have to go to class today?"

"Isn't today the weekend?" Lin Xun replied in surprise.

Not waiting for Lin Yuanye to show a stunned expression, Lin Changshi interjected into the conversation between the two of them: "Lin Xun will live in our house for these two months."

Lin Yuanye nodded knowingly, not forgetting that he was called home temporarily, "Tell me, why did you call me back suddenly?"

Lin Changshi showed a somewhat strange expression, "Didn't you shout to come back every day during the two months you just left? Now I ask you to come back, why are you still not happy?"

Without answering his words directly, Lin Yuanye raised his eyebrows slowly, fixed his gaze on his face, and asked clearly again, biting the accent: "What's the matter?"

"It's nothing important—" the person on the opposite side coughed lightly and replied.

Seeing the change visible to the naked eye in Lin Yuanye's expression, Lin Changshi suddenly changed the subject, and filled in the loopholes in his words with righteousness: "Just because you are not young this year, I think Ask if you are interested in going on a blind date."

Lin Yuanye froze in his seat, and even began to suspect that he had a hearing problem, "Blind date?"

His father nodded.

"Why do you want to go on a blind date?" Lin Yuanye was still a little stunned, "Can't I find a boyfriend myself?"

Given Lin Yuanye's conditions, he naturally had plenty of boyfriends to find.Lin Changshi did not deny this, but ever since he received the phone call from Jiang Chi, he really couldn't agree with Lin Yuanye's picky vision.

Lin Changshi also heard about Lin Yuanye being betrayed by a boy from the same school when he was in college.It's just that the 20-year-old Lin Yuanye was decisive and decisive, so he didn't intervene too much in that matter.

The current situation is very different from that of the past. Lin Changshi's last words hinted at him tactfully: "If you want to find a boyfriend, Dad still recommends that you pay more attention to the factor of being in a good family."

Lin Yuanye did not give an answer immediately.

Compared with Jiang Chi who has been preparing to take over the family business since he was a child, Lin Changshi is indeed relaxed and conniving towards him in these matters.Growing up in such an environment and family, he understands better than anyone else how obvious benefits the bonded relationship between marriage and marriage can bring to the two families.

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, after serious thinking, Lin Changshi said slowly, "Of course, if you don't want to go on a blind date, Dad won't force you to go. It's just that there is such a blind date banquet. Dad just wanted to ask you what you think."

"What blind date?" Lin Yuanye asked.

"Your cousin's college classmate, didn't he come back from abroad these days?" Lin Changshi paused, "I think the Cheng family has plans to give him a blind date recently, and our family also received an invitation letter yesterday. gone."

Lin Yuanye must be reluctant to force him to break up with his boyfriend in town right now.Without mentioning the information Jiang Chi told him, Lin Changshi deliberately focused on the entire Lin family, "If you and the younger generation of the Cheng family get it right, it will be of great help to our family in the future."

"Will you not force me to go?" After thinking for two seconds, Lin Yuanye raised his eyelids and looked at him.

"No." Lin Changshi said.

"Then don't go." Lin Yuanye raised the corners of his lips carelessly, and added half in jest and half in earnest, "The prince of the Cheng family who has returned from studying abroad publicly chooses concubines, and all he wants are those in their early twenties who are well-educated and good-looking. Little boy, what am I going to do as an older person who has never stayed in school?"

Seeing that his face was not moved at all, Lin Changshi calmly winked at Lin Xun who was beside him.

Lin Xun, who received the signal, immediately opened his mouth in a well-trained manner: "Cousin, don't you have a bad relationship with Cheng Fei? When you become Cheng Fei's cousin's boyfriend, you can suppress him in front of Cheng Fei." One head?"

"That's true." Lin Yuanye nodded as if he had realized something, but in the next second, he put away the expression on his face, and raised his eyebrows at the other party with a half-smile, "Then if you went to the blind date party, did you go?" Wouldn't it mean that if you are favored, you will never be able to hold your head up in front of Cheng Fei?"

Lin Xun was silenced by his words, blinked slowly for a while, and looked helplessly at Lin Changshi.

I have tried all the methods that should be used. Lin Changshi really did what he said, and stopped persuading him to attend the Cheng family's dinner. "The Lin family has received an invitation letter, and someone will go anyway. If you are sure not to go , I will take Lin Xun there then."

Lin Yuanye had no objection to this, nodded understandingly and said, "Okay."

"Let me go?" Lin Xun didn't seem to reject such an occasion, "I have to see if there is any class that day."

"I'll ask for leave for you if you have a class." Lin Changshi quickly stopped talking, "I'll talk about the rest when I go back. Let's eat first."

Lin Xun nodded before he wanted to speak, but in the end he couldn't hold back, and asked with a slightly blank expression, "Cheng Liao who came back from abroad, is he a classmate of Cousin Yang's college classmate?"

Before Lin Changshi could answer him, Lin Yuanye squinted his eyes and looked at him first, "What did you just say?"

"Cousin Yang's college classmate—" Lin Xun's voice gradually weakened under his long and dangerous gaze.

"Yang Jinnian's college classmate," Lin Yuanye interrupted impatiently, "what's his name?"

Lin Xun couldn't help swallowing, and answered his words in a low voice: "Cheng Liao."

Lin Yuanye stared at his face without saying a word, but his heart suddenly brightened like a polished mirror.

Good for you, Cheng Liao, good for you, Yang Jinnian.

He put down the chopsticks in his hand and started rolling up his sleeves without saying a word.
