Back to Lin's house
1350 Words
After being brought into the house by Mrs. Wang, Lin Xiao's mother, Yuan Qing, immediately greeted her.
"Tongtong! You are finally back!" She enthusiastically took Xiao Tongyu's hand.
Long time no see, Yuan Qing seems to have aged a lot. She was not wearing makeup at this time, her originally fair skin was slightly yellowish, and her eye sockets were somewhat sunken.
"Well, Aunt Yuan, I've been too busy recently." Xiao Tongyu smiled.
She knew that Yuan Qing didn't like her. For so many years in the Lin family, she heard Lin Xiao and Yuan Qing complain countless times: "Mom! In what age are we still having baby kisses? Why should I marry that inexplicable orphan?"
"Mom knows, and she doesn't like her either. My son is so handsome, he must find someone who is a good match."
The unexpected car accident that year took away Xiao Tongyu's parents, but left her alone in this world.
The Xiao family was wealthy at that time. When his father Xiao Ming was dying in bed, he asked Lawyer Wang to sell all the Xiao family's shares, leaving half to Xiao Tongyu and half to the Lin family, hoping that they would treat their daughter well. Give her a home when she grows up.
With the funds from the Xiao family, Lin Xiao's father Lin Tianhao expanded the Lin family's business, and became increasingly disdainful of Xiao Tongyu, a helpless orphan with no background.
The Lin family fulfilled their responsibility in raising Xiao Tongyu, and that was enough. Xiao Tongyu didn't expect more.
It's just that the Lin family, who had always been indifferent to her, suddenly asked her to go home for dinner over and over again. They must have some intention.
I heard that the Lin Group's financial situation is not good recently. Repeated investment decision-making errors, coupled with the financial crisis, have pushed Lin to the brink of collapse.
Xiao Tongyu walked into the restaurant and Lin Tianhao stood up.
"Tongtong, long time no see."
"Uncle Lin." Xiao Tongyu called out and caught a glimpse of Lin Xiao sitting aside.
He was playing with his mobile phone, and when he saw her coming, he nodded slightly as a greeting.
A few people sat around the dining table, and Mrs. Wang served a variety of delicious, tasty and tasty meals, all of which Xiao Tongyu loved.
She hasn't had this warm feeling of eating at home for a long time.
Because Lin Xiao hated her, she had been eating in the kitchen with Mrs. Wang since high school. Lin Tianhao and Yuan Qing didn't say much.
So Xiao Tongyu knew that the warmth at the moment was all an illusion.
The four of them ate in silence, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Suddenly, Yuan Qing spoke: "Tongtong, do you have a boyfriend now?"
"Auntie, I don't have it."
Yuan Qing immediately smiled like a flower: "It just so happens that Lin Xiao doesn't have a girlfriend either. I think you two are quite suitable."
Yuan Qing knew that Xiao Tongyu had liked Lin Xiao since she was a child. When her parents were still alive, she had always followed Lin Xiao when the two families were together, but Lin Xiao never wanted to see her.
Xiao Tongyu glanced at Lin Xiao, and for the first time, he didn't refute. It must be that Lin's financial difficulties have been so great recently that he has to bow to her, the person he once hated most. After all, he is someone who has been working hard in the business world. Lin Tianhao glanced at Yuan Qing reproachfully, probably because he thought she was too direct.
He gave Xiao Tongyu a piece of braised pork: "Tongtong, eat more. I see you are so thin. Are you too tired from working at Ji's?"
"Thank you uncle."
When it came to the Ji family, Xiao Tongyu understood instantly.
In addition to wanting the money from Xiao Tongyu's remaining shares, the Lin family may also want to hook up with Ji Yunze through her.
Thinking of Ji Yunze, she suddenly felt a pain and felt that she couldn't sit still.
At this time, Lin Xiao put down his chopsticks: "Tongtong, please take a step to speak."
Xiao Tongyu stood up suspiciously and followed Lin Xiao to the stairs in the corner of the living room.
Lin Xiao looked down at the little girl in front of him who used to run after him. Her delicate and small face glowed with a light pink color, her big watery eyes, and her cheeks still had round baby fat, making her look pure and lustful.
Who would have thought that she, who was so unremarkable when she was a child, would turn out to be so beautiful that even a man would be attracted to her.
"Lin Xiao, what's the matter?" Xiao Tongyu spoke in a calm tone without any ripples.
"You can see why my parents asked you to come back for dinner, right?" Lin Xiao stared at her face tightly, unable to look away at all.
"Um, so what?"
"So are you considering it?" Lin Xiao took a step closer to her, "We can give it a try."
Xiao Tongyu almost laughed out loud. What did the Lin family think of her?
After her parents passed away, she once really regarded Uncle Lin and Aunt Yuan as her relatives, but reality hit her again and again.
Seeing her being bullied at school, with her torn schoolbag and homework books, and her hair torn out, they ignored her; they had gastroenteritis that made her writhing with stomachache, and they just gave her some medicine to deal with it; the Lin family She rarely gives her pocket money. Even buying a birthday gift for Lin Xiao is the money she saves by working secretly.
If it hadn't been for the kind-hearted Lawyer Wang who had been keeping her share of property until she came of age, these might have been swallowed up by the Lin family.
"Are you crazy, Lin Xiao? Go and beg Qin Mengyan. You still have old feelings after all, so why come to beg me? I'm not even as good as a dog in your eyes."
"I know I was wrong Tongtong. It was my fault in the past. I was deceived and met unkind people with my eyes. Can you give me a chance?"
Lin Xiao's voice was choked, and he reached out to hold Xiao Tongyu.
She instinctively stepped back, showing an expression of extreme disgust.
She was so stupid. She had given the Lin family countless opportunities, but her sincerity was trampled on the ground time and time again.
Xiao Tongyu is not an i***t, she can still distinguish between sincerity and falsehood.
The money obtained from the Xiao family's half of the shares was enough to repay the Lin family's kindness in raising her.
"You are overthinking Lin Xiao. My relationship with your Lin family is over."
Lin Xiao looked at her blankly, his body trembling slightly. He always thought that he was Xiao Tongyu's male god and could come and go with her at a moment's notice. He didn't care about her at all. But when Xiao Tongyu categorically rejected him and turned to leave, he found that he couldn't accept it.
Seeing that Lin Xiao didn't respond, Xiao Tongyu turned around and walked to the restaurant.
At this moment, her cell phone rang.
She looked down and saw that it was Ji Yunze.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Lin, Aunt Yuan, I remembered that I have something else to do. I'll come see you again when I have the chance." After saying that, she picked up her bag and walked to the door.
She will never come back to this home again.
Lin Tianhao and Yuan Qing stared at Xiao Tongyu's leaving figure, feeling uneasy in their hearts.
"Tianhao, does this girl from the Xiao family know what happened back then?"
Lin Tianhao clenched his fists, and his fingertips began to turn white: "How is that possible? She won't know."
