"The head of the family deserves to be the head of the family, and he is really quick to talk, since this is the case...... Then I'll have something to say!" An Xiaolin smiled slightly, and said with a straight face: "In addition to the conditions that Xiao Xia said when he came to persuade me...... There are a few other requirements. ”

"Xiao Lin, tell me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely promise you. When the head of the family looked at An Xiaolin, he had a faint smile on his cheeks, and his expression was very serious.

An Xiaolin said: "This is not a question of whether you can do it, you can't do it, this is also my request, if you agree, then we will continue to cooperate, if you don't agree, if you can't do it...... Then we won't have much to talk about. ”

The head of the family was about to refuse, but An Xiaolin seemed to know what she was going to say, so she immediately raised her hand to interrupt her words, and said with a faint smile: "You listen to me first and then think about it when you go back!"

"Okay, you can say it. The head of the family seemed a little helpless, nodded, but also agreed with An Xiaolin's words.

An Xiaolin bowed her head slightly, looked at the head of the family, smiled lightly, and said: "I can cooperate with you, you want me to help you get the phoenix stone and study the phoenix stone, I can also help you realize it, it's just ...... My conditions may be a little difficult for you. ”

An Xiaolin paused slightly, and said: "My condition is to enter your core organization, I need to know all the secrets of your island, including your personnel structure, key people and technical personnel, and I need to know...... What are your sources of livelihood and expenses?"

"Oh, Xiao Lin, what are you...... Are you listening to our secrets?" the head of the family looked at An Xiaolin with a solemn face, with a little doubt in his expression.

An Xiaolin shook her head indifferently and said, "If you don't want to tell me your secrets, then what kind of cooperation are we talking about? Why should I give you my life? Don't tell me anything about being a family, I've been outside all these years, and I still have a relationship with Huangfu Ye, how do I know if you're using me, or if you're treating me sincerely? If I don't know anything, and you're used and kicked away, isn't it wrong?"

She approached the head of the family with a serious face, and said word for word: "If you really want me to go home, I want to ...... Let me know that normal life on your island should be normal, right?"

Looking at An Xiaolin's serious eyes, the head of the family was slightly stunned at first, then shook his head and smiled, and said: "It's really normal, Xiaolin, you are really a smart girl, and you also know how to fight for your own interests, seeing you like this...... I was relieved, back then, they all said that they would send you out, and your adoptive mother was a very suitable candidate, but I was always worried that her kindness would make you cowardly, it seems...... It's me who thinks too much. ”

An Xiaolin sneered: "Then thank you for worrying." ”

said it so high-soundingly, her biological mother was not worried, she was not at ease!

"Since you are so smart, you should know that there is a hierarchy on our island, the more hierarchical people are, the higher they live, the more they know, our core secrets, layer by layer, and when you go up, the more secrets you can know, the more you can know. ”

She paused slightly, her cheeks that looked generous were full of apologies, and she looked at An Xiaolin and said with a faint smile: "Xiaolin, so, if you want to know our core secret now, it seems a bit unlikely, don't embarrass me, okay?"

Looking at her embarrassed look, An Xiaolin said regretfully: "Since that's the case...... Then we just don't have a chance to cooperate, so don't embarrass me, okay?"

"Xiao Lin, do you have to know our core secret?" she seemed to see An Xiaolin's determination, frowned, and looked at her strangely and asked.

An Xiaolin nodded slowly, and said: "Of course, I don't believe anyone now, Chu Nian should have told you this sentence before, and I won't cooperate with you without the conditions that reassure me." ”

As she spoke, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she said, "Chu Nian has been following you for so many years, but what is the result? Haven't you still rescued him? Not to mention me who has lived outside for more than 20 years!"

"Why are you the same as Chu Nian?" she stood up in some surprise, and then seemed to realize her gaffe, slowly sat down, stared at An Xiaolin for a long time, and then sighed and muttered, "Alas...... Xiao Lin, although Chu Nian is now captured by Huangfu Ye, his life will not be in danger, and when the time is right, we will definitely save him, this is ...... You don't have to doubt it!"

"Really?" An Xiaolin sneered: "I don't know you, for me, you are just a stranger, since that's the case...... I'd better leave myself a way back, you go, I won't cooperate with you. ”

"Xiao Lin, you will know the secret sooner or later, but now you know...... It seems that it is too early, you should think about it!" She seemed to be very determined, looked at An Xiaolin, and said coldly.

An Xiaolin also knew in her heart that such a thing could not be rushed, so she immediately nodded, and said with a straight face: "Everyone should think about it, it doesn't have to be me to change my words?"

She was stunned, and then bowed her head slightly: "Then wait and see!"

After the head of the family left, An Xiaolin got off the swing rack and went back to the room where she was resting.

In the room, An Xiaolin lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling overhead, and fell into deep thoughts.

Things didn't go smoothly according to what she expected, but that's what she was looking forward to.

Huangfu was there at night, I didn't know how long it would take to prepare before I could come to save her, she was not in a hurry, but she didn't know how long it would take for her goal to be realized, and how careful she had to be so that she wouldn't be discovered......

In this way, two more days passed, Jiang Xiaoxia did not come, and the head of the family did not come.

An Xiaolin lived in that small villa, like an abandoned child.

No one visited, and the attitude of the two maids towards her was as smooth as ever, which made her secretly admire the determination of the head of the house.

An Xiaolin is not in a hurry, if such a peaceful life can last until Huangfu comes to save her at night, she doesn't mind, on the contrary, the head of the family must be very anxious, but she is so calm, which makes An Xiaolin a little surprised, and even impressed......

However, she knew that she couldn't be too calm, and if she kept ignoring it like this, she was afraid that when the time came, it would arouse her suspicions!

Seeing that the time was almost up, a sly light flashed in An Xiaolin's eyes.

At noon that day, after An Xiaolin had lunch, she said to the maid who was waiting, "You can help me invite the master of the house!"

"Miss An, is there something wrong?" Xiaolan asked very politely.

"Well, I have something to tell her. An Xiaolin paused and said, "Very important thing." ”

"Miss An, wait a minute, I'll go and make an announcement to see if the head of the house has time. Xiaolan walked up to An Xiaolin with a smile on her face.

An Xiaolin nodded, and didn't break it, and after waiting for a while, Xiaolan came back, and when she came back, she had a feeling of embarrassment on her face: "Miss An, the head of the family, she is very busy now, if you really have any important urgent matters...... Then, she said, the head of the house, after dinner, maybe you can take a little time. ”

"Well, let's be after dinner, then. An Xiaolin lowered her head and smiled, knowing that this was a trick for people to capture and indulge, and she didn't feel too anxious in her heart.

The sun is not big today, An Xiaolin learned some knowledge of raising flowers and vegetables from the gardener in the back garden, she found that this gardener is really powerful, not only knows some ways of fertilizing flowers and vegetables that are different from others, but also knows how to drive away insects without pesticides, which makes An Xiaolin very surprised.

Such a leisurely life, to be honest, is also very comfortable.

In the evening, An Xiaolin had dinner, rested for a while, and went to play on the swing frame again.

She loved this place very much, and it seemed that she could relax here......

As soon as he wandered for a while, he heard the maid say, "Miss An, the head of the house will be here soon." ”

An Xiaolin opened her eyes at dusk: "Oh, I'll go to the door and invite her in, you go make two cups of tea." ”

Xiaolan nodded, An Xiaolin walked to the door, and as soon as she opened the door, the head of the family happened to have just arrived at her gate, which was a coincidence.

An Xiaolin found that she was wearing a long gray dress of cotton and linen, draped in a thin knitted blouse, looking gentle and moving, just like the female elders of the family after dinner, the role of mother.

Maybe because it was dark, the fat powder on her face was removed, An Xiaolin could see that she was well maintained, and her skin was still very delicate.

Maybe she deliberately appeared in a weak posture like this, just to subdue An Xiaolin.

An Xiaolin secretly had a bottom in her heart, and she didn't break it, but smiled faintly: "The head of the family is here!"

"Ah Yan, you wait at the door, I'll go in with Xiao Lin and say a few words. "The head of the family didn't let Ah Yan in.

I don't know why, An Xiaolin always feels that when the head of the family looks at her, he always has a faint feeling of hostility.

"Okay!" Ah Yan was helpless, but didn't dare to refute the feeling, nodded, and stopped at the door.

After entering the door, the head of the house closed the door, walked a few steps, and suddenly took An Xiaolin's hand.

An Xiaolin turned her head in surprise and looked at her in astonishment, obviously not understanding why she behaved like this.

She didn't mind, she smiled very casually, and said, "Xiao Lin, you don't mind if I hold your hand, right?"

An Xiaolin wanted to say that she didn't mind, but she really couldn't say such a hypocritical lie, so she just smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "I'm just strange about the sudden closeness of the head of the family." ”

"It's nothing, your mother is a very good friend of mine, I was very reluctant to leave back then, you are like my own child to me. The head of the house said.

(ps: I'm very sorry, today's power outage in the community for repair, the elevator can't be used, and the call came at more than nine o'clock, woo woo...... The arrears will be made up within this week)
