Chapter 14: The Inside Story of the Unknown

The first time Lin Jia knew that Lin Mingxin was not a simple character was when his grandfather died.

In fact, she hadn't seen her aunt a few times before, according to her father, because she had to marry An Zidong and her family when she was young, she got a certificate and moved out before she was twenty years old, and she only came back to the Lin family once a year during the New Year, but she still had to look at her grandfather's face, often at this time Dad would stand up to be a peacemaker, and every time her aunt left, he would secretly stuff her with money.

Lin Jia was most impressed when she was ten years old, An Zidong failed in business, owed a lot of debts and was beaten half to death by debt collectors, Lin Mingxin, who was already six months pregnant, knelt in front of her grandfather and begged for money.

Lin Mingxin knelt at the door of her grandfather for a whole day and then got up to leave, and not long after that, Lin Jia heard that another debt collector came to the door, An Zidong ran away and left Lin Mingxin alone, and accidentally fell down the stairs under the dispute, and the child in her belly also flowed out, it was a baby boy.

Since that time, Lin Mingxin has never returned to the Lin family.

It wasn't until Grandpa was seriously ill that Lin Mingxin, who had not seen her for a long time, appeared in the hospital with a blank face, stayed in her grandfather's ward for four hours, and finally didn't know how to make Grandpa change his mind and promise to give up 10% of the hotel shares that were originally going to be left to Dad, and it was this 10% of the shares that finally killed Dad.

"What do you want, Gaga? ”

Aunt Sun held a bowl of freshly filled white porridge in front of Lin Jia: "You haven't been home for several years, and I don't know if you are still used to eating this." ”

The memory was interrupted, Lin Jia smiled at Aunt Sun, and said coquettishly: "How can you not get used to it, the best breakfast I have ever had is made by Aunt Sun." ”

"Hypocrisy!"

An Wenqi on the opposite side snorted coldly, raised her hand and threw the chopsticks in front of her: "I saw the most disgusting face in the morning, and I really didn't have any appetite at all." ”

Aunt Sun was a little embarrassed when she heard this, and looked at Lin Jia at a loss, but found that her face had not changed for half a minute, but instead picked up the small bowl that she had just eaten, and said with a smile: "Aunt Sun, I want another bowl." ”

"Hey, hey, good!"

As soon as Aunt Sun heard that she liked to eat, she immediately came to her senses, and she didn't care about going to see An Wenqi again, so she turned around and went to give Lin Jia porridge.

An Wenqi saw that she was completely ignored, and her face suddenly turned ugly: "What are you pretending to be deaf there, hurry up and get out of here while I am still talking, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind!"

"Why are you going to be rude? Are you going to find a few thugs to kidnap me like you did last time?"

Lin Jia raised his eyebrows, and the second night of white porridge that had just been served from Aunt Sun's hand continued, without raising his head: "Then you remember to find a few powerful ones this time, don't be so ashamed as last time." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Mingxin and An Zidong walked downstairs, obviously hearing Lin Jia's words, but they didn't speak.

Before yesterday's incident happened, Lin Jia always thought that what happened in the cemetery that day was An Wenqi's own ghost, but now it seems that it is very likely that it was simply from Lin Mingxin's instructions, after all, with An Wenqi's IQ, she really can't think of going to the cemetery to block her.

Sure enough, An Wenqi's face was a little more flustered when she heard her say this, and she subconsciously glanced at Lin Mingxin, and then said hurriedly: "What are you talking about, I don't understand." ”

Lin Jia sneered, he already had the answer in his heart, and ate the porridge in the bowl in three or two bites: "If you don't understand, forget it, you just know it in your heart." ”

As soon as she arrived at the door, she heard a car sound, and before she could react, she heard An Wenqi behind her cheering: "Mom, it's Huai Yi here!"

Then the whole person trotted out, and sure enough, after a while, the familiar figure appeared in front of her.

Lin Jia was standing at the door, neither in nor out, so he simply waved his hand directly and generously at Jiang Huai: "Hi, Mr. Jiang!"

Jiang Huaiyi's gaze stayed on her for less than a second, and he skipped her directly without any reaction, and walked towards Lin Mingxin and An Zidong, and the cold voice soon came: "Uncle An, Aunt An, the car is ready, I'll pick you up over there." ”

"Okay, it's troublesome, and it's so hard to come here in person. ”

Lin Mingxin's voice once again regained its usual elegance, and there was no trace of the ruthlessness that threatened Lin Jia, as if the person in the corridor last night was not her at all.

Jiang Huai also bowed slightly, and his tone softened: "It's not troublesome, this is what I should have done." ”

"Okay, Huai Yi, this kid has always been so polite. An Zidong also spoke at the right time, and his tone was kind.

Several people chatted enthusiastically, like a family's intimacy, and Lin Jia only noticed at this time that the three members of the An family were wearing dresses.

A strange look flashed in her heart, and her eyes fell on Jiang Huaiyi's body, looking at his warm and polite manners, she felt that he was so strange for the first time.

An Wenqi stood beside Jiang Huaiyi with crimson cheeks, and returned to her usual ladylike appearance: "Parents, don't talk about it, Uncle Shen is still waiting for us to go over, let's go." ”

"You kid, what are you doing in such a hurry, let Huai Yi rest for a while before leaving. An Zidong pretended to be serious and nodded at An Wenqi.

An Wenqi was slightly stunned when she heard this, lowered her head suddenly, and muttered: "People are in a hurry." ”

Seeing this, Jiang Huai also spoke: "It's okay, I don't feel tired, Xiaoqi is right, let's go over now." ”

Lin Mingxin turned her head and glanced at An Zidong, then smiled: "Huaiyi, you don't want to leave everything to her, this will spoil her." ”

"Mom-"

An Wenqi pouted and stomped her feet, her expression was shy, and her face turned even redder.

"Okay, good, don't say it, don't say it. ”

Lin Mingxin pinched her face dotingly, and then raised her hand to put an arm around An Zidong, as if she was also a loving couple.

Then the four of them walked towards the door with a smile while talking, and An Wenqi, who was holding Jiang Huaiyi's wrist, was full of energy when she looked at Lin Jia, her eyes were full of pride and provocation, and she walked past her with her head held high, like an arrogant fighting.

And during the whole process, Jiang Huai didn't even deflect his eyes, as if he didn't see Lin Jia at all.

The corners of Lin Jia's mocking mouth became lighter and lighter, she didn't think that she would encounter this kind of embarrassment, but she never thought that the person who brought her such embarrassment turned out to be Jiang Huaiyi.

Lin Mingxin looked at Lin Jia's reaction, remembering in her mind the way she looked when she was shouting with herself last night, a little coldness flashed in her eyes, but her face was still as gentle as in front of people: "Jia Jia." ”

"Huh?"

Lin Jia replied well-behaved, more like a reflex with a strange opening, her long eyelashes blinked, and she looked at Lin Mingxin: "Is my aunt going out?"

Her opening attracted the attention of the people in front of her, and Jiang Huaiyi's gaze shot over like two sharp knives.

Lin Mingxin faced Lin Jia, and used her side face to hide her expression that seemed to be smiling at this time: "Yes, if you want to go out, don't you also want to go out to play, do you want to go together and let Huai Yi take you for a while?"

After hearing this, Lin Jia glanced in the direction of Jiang Huaiyi, An Wenqi's hand holding his wrist immediately tightened, and she chuckled: "I'd better go out by myself, don't botherβ€”brother-in-law." ”

It's not the first time Jiang Huai has heard this name, but this time he feels extremely harsh. He subconsciously glanced in the direction of Lin Jia, looking at each other, but only saw the provocation in her eyes.

"It's fine. ”

Jiang Huaiyi's voice was faint, and he grabbed ahead of Lin Mingxin and spoke: "After all, there is indeed no extra space in the car." ”

After speaking, he pulled An Wenqi to turn around and walk outside, and Lin Mingxin and An Zidong naturally followed, and then there was a sound of an engine outside the yard, and the car left quickly.

Lin Jia bit his lower lip, quickly took out his mobile phone from his bag, dialed Chen Ya, and said anxiously as soon as he connected: "What day is today?"

"What day?"

Chen Ya was stunned by her question, and she didn't understand at all.

"Jiang Huai also just came to pick up An Wenqi's family, and also mentioned his rich father, what is the matter with the Jiang family today?"

Chen Ya reacted instantly: "Wait a minute, I'll call Xia Xiao." ”

As soon as the voice fell, he hung up the phone directly.

Lin Jia pursed his lips and stared at the mobile phone screen that he pressed down, completely unaware that his face was already pale and frightening.

As soon as Aunt Sun came out of the kitchen, she saw this scene, frowned and walked over and just wanted to ask what was going on, when she saw Lin Jia quickly pick up the mobile phone that had just rang: "Hey?"

"Today is Jiang Huai and his father's birthday, and there is a big banquet to be held, and a lot of people are invited. Chen Ya's tone was a little anxious, and she spoke bluntly.

"Where?"

"On a cruise ship in Houhai, it was contracted a long time ago, and it is said that a cooperation with Lin's Hotel will be announced. ”

Lin Jia clenched his mobile phone tightly, breathing slightly: "What else?"

"The rest is not clear, these are all said by Xia Xiaocai. ”

Chen Ya paused: "But what Xia Xiao means is that looking at the current trend of the Shen family and the An family, Shen Tai probably wants to take this opportunity to implement the relationship between the two families." ”

Shen Tai is Jiang Huaiyi's biological father, the biological father who has abandoned their mother and son for many years and is now the richest man in Ningcheng.

Lin Jia was silent, and suddenly remembered what Jiang Huai said in the hotel room before, "There can't be any mistakes in my marriage with An Wenqi", could it be that in the relationship between these two people, there is anything unseemly?
