13 Guests
Lin's father, Lin's mother, and Lin Yilong's return to London together, have not yet recovered from the fatigue of the return trip to the Lake District, Lin's mother's subordinates who had a good relationship when they worked hard in China came to Lin's house as an uninvited guest, and when they traveled to London, they came to visit Lin's mother, who had supported him.
When Lin's mother worked hard, she mainly did credit loans, and she once became the deputy manager of a branch of a domestic commercial bank. After the restructuring of the enterprise, Lin Mu's position hindered the eyes of some people, and Lin Mu was transferred to other places to be a nominal store manager in the form of bright rise and dark descent. Lin's mother felt that this method was unacceptable, so she applied for "leave without pay" and went abroad to work hard and take charge of some other credit loans related to foreigners. With the help of Lin Yilong's classmates in domestic law schools, Lin's mother has always maintained a fairly high debt settlement efficiency. Lin's efforts were appreciated by her superiors abroad, and she overtook many male employees to become a regional credit supervisor — a role rarely held by women in a patriarchal society.
However, it seemed that this method was more like "killing", and Mother Lin soon felt that the entire department was a little dissatisfied with her, and promoted some cronies who were better controlled, and maintained the situation. This time it was a subordinate she had been promoting.
Due to the curfew of the apartment, someone needed to go down and bring the guests to the top floor, and unfortunately, Lin Yilong had to take on this role.
It's just that I didn't expect that Amy was also among Lin Yilong's guests.
It seems to match the green plaid shirt and gray casual trousers on Lin Yilong's body, and Amy wears a lotus lotus dress casual wear, which matches the color of her hairpin very well, and looks very ladylike.
"Is it Mr. Ren?" Lin Yilong pretended not to know Amy, and walked directly past him to the man.
"Yes, you are?" asked the man known as Mr. Ren.
"My mother said that there are guests coming, so I need to come down to pick you up. Lin Yilong replied, then bowed down and made a "please" gesture.
The family of the man surnamed Ren was led by Lin Yilong to the top floor of the apartment on Riverside Street, where Lin's father and mother were welcoming them.
"I'm sorry, please allow me to miss me, I have other things to do. Lin Yilong decided to find an excuse to slip away.
When Mother Lin said that her subordinates were coming here as guests, Lin Yilong felt bad - the subordinates brought by Mother Lin were certainly not too young, but at the same time they were not too old - just the same age as Amy's father; when Amy filled out her "scholarship resume", her surname could match the form of this Mr. Ren, and finally, the time she arrived in London happened to be about the same time as Amy's performance. When all the speculations were confirmed by the facts, Lin Yilong knew that he needed to be careful.
Lin Yilong can also confirm that Amy has met his mother before from the form of Amy's family meeting with Lin's mother. If it weren't for that, Mother Lin wouldn't have described Amy now like this as soon as they met - "This child has grown so big." ”
But in this way, a new question arises: if Amy's father is really a subordinate of Lin's mother, Amy's daughter is a section chief in the credit department of a commercial bank, and the relationship between Amy and her parents has not broken down, so it is unlikely that she will be short of money. Although Lin Yilong believes that what Amy said should be true.
After spending two hours in the living room of the apartment, feeling that Amy's family had left, Lin Yilong returned to his apartment.
"The guest is gone?" Lin Yilong asked his mother when he returned to the large open room on the top floor of the apartment.
"Gone. Lin's mother knew that her son didn't like to entertain guests at home the most, "After walking for nearly an hour, I took them around our apartment." Have you ever seen that girl?"
"Why do I say that?" Lin Yilong asked.
"You've been avoiding looking at that girl, haven't you noticed?" said Lin's mother, "Although it is rude to stare for a long time, it is also rude to treat guests like this." ”
"No, I don't. Lin Yilong thought about it, and he was very natural. What he ignored was everyone in Amy's family, and he didn't specifically avoid making eye contact with Amy.
"Tell the truth!" Lin Mu's voice raised an octave.
"You remember Samantha, it's that Uncle Tian's daughter. Lin Yilong then began to tell Mother Lin about his meeting with Amy on the plane, and then in Wales to meet Samantha, and as for Amy's return to Wales to ask him for help, he was very clever not to mention it.
"It's an awkward scene. Lin Yilong explained, "It's better to be a stranger, isn't it good if you haven't seen it?"
"That's the way to do it. Mother Lin heard her son's words and agreed with him.
"However, this gentleman, is there something wrong with the family's finances?" Lin Yilong asked.
"Can you tell?" asked Lin Mu rhetorically.
"I can probably see a little bit of it. Lin Yilong needed to find a reason to clarify his doubts, "How can I say it, although I'm not a fashionista, but don't you feel it, this gentleman and his wife are not dressed in harmony with their daughter?"
It's really not coordinated, especially since Amy's clothes are a little too new and eye-catching compared to her parents' clothes - this is something that Mother Lin agrees with.
"His eyesight is so good!" Lin Mu praised, "You're right, he does have some financial problems-"
It turned out that it was Mr. Ren himself who got away with the securities investment market the year before last, not only put his down payment on the house and Amy's tuition fees into it, but also borrowed a sum of money from Lin's mother for temporary turnover - the pension of Lin's mother's second job has been kept in the account - in addition to visiting Lin's mother, Amy's father's main purpose is to let Lin's mother's loan period continue to be graced for two years, bringing Lin's mother 80,000 pounds of annual interest in the past three years, accounting for forty percent of the total amount of borrowing.
This money, or Lin Yilong turned a blind eye and allowed her to withdraw it in advance to support her parents, although there is a gap with the amount of 80,000, it should not be much different, Amy should persuade her parents to accept it in the form of a "signing fee".
In other words, if Amy used the "scholarship" given to her by Lin Yilong to help her parents pay off their debts, the money actually returned to Lin Yilong's pocket after changing hands.
In addition to lamenting that "creation makes people", Lin Yilong can only use Nadia's summary of his sisterhood with Yeon to evaluate, "This is a fateful thing." ”
"They're fine now, though. Mother Lin has determined that she will be able to get a bigger profit in the future, "It is the girl just now who has signed a contract with the ballet company, and although life may be more difficult in the future, this hurdle has still passed." ”
I don't know what Mother Lin would think if she knew that the principal interest she had just received was actually the "suffering subsidy" that her son gave to the beauty a week ago.
