Lin Xi hung up the phone and stayed in the garden for a while.

On a June day, Licheng had already begun to heat up, and a gust of wind at night brought a hot and dry breath, which made Lin Xi's originally high mood instantly irritable.

"I heard that the young master of the Lin family came to apologize today?"

"That's right, you said that this young master of the Lin family is usually used to being public, how could he come over to apologize willingly?"

The whispered conversation between the two women made Lin Xi raise his eyebrows, and the position he was standing on was just blocked by a fake stone, and it seemed that the women of the Jiang family were gossiping.

"We can take care of other people's affairs, maybe people value our eldest lady. ”

"Speaking of which, Jiang Yan is much better than the eldest lady, but it's a pity that she was born with the wrong fate. If she hadn't been locked up back then, this eldest lady would not have been engaged to the young master of the Lin family. ”

"Locked up?"

"Isn't it? She was locked up in the first two days of Jiang Lin's two engagements, I don't know which master she offended, and she was beaten half to death, and we don't dare to persuade her. ”

"And then?"

"The next day, she was sent to Xun/Huan" The man's voice was a little lower, "I also heard that her biological mother partnered with our eldest lady and made people spoil her......"

"Woe comes from the mouth, don't you know?" A gentle voice with a cold voice sounded, and the two hurriedly shouted tremblingly: "Second lady." ”

"You have also been in the Jiang family for several years, what should you say and what you shouldn't say, do you still use others to remind you?" Zhao Lan's tone was not good, and his face turned a little colder.

"Second lady, we're just ...... It's just ......" one of them argued, cautiously not daring to look at Zhao Lan's face.

"Alright, let's do something. Don't talk about these things behind your back in the future, if your sister-in-law knows......"

"Thank you, Second Madame, we don't dare anymore. The two hurriedly made a statement and fled in disgrace.

Zhao Lan looked at the back of the two of them leaving and sighed helplessly. Hearing them talk about Jiang Yan, a touch of guilt welled up in their hearts.

She remembered the day when Jiang Yan was first brought to the Jiang family, and saw everyone with a sneering look, but when she saw her, she smiled from the bottom of her heart.

She still remembered that Jiang Yan called her with a smile under the introduction of the housekeeper: "Second aunt." ”

At that time, she liked Jiang Yan inexplicably.

Especially when I saw her living freely and confidently, I felt that Jiang Yan looked like her when she was young. At that time, she didn't know that her compassion would hurt Jiang Yan and not be able to stay in this family.

"Second aunt, the money you gave me was snatched away by Jiang Si. Jiang Yan's slightly choked voice sounded in her ears again.

Then she asked in a low voice, "Why did you tell Jiang Si that you gave me the money? I said that I will return the 10,000 yuan to you." ”

When Zhao Lan turned around and wanted to leave, Lin Xi came out from behind the rockery and called her, "Aunt Zhao." ”

"Lin Xi?" Zhao Lan turned around and saw Lin Xi's puzzled and confused face, and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

As she spoke, she remembered that Lin Xi came out to answer the phone just now, and came back again, "You heard it just now?"

"Aunt Zhao, was Jiang Yan kicked out of Jiang's house, or did she leave on her own?" Lin Xi approached Zhao Lan, looked at Zhao Lan's cloudy face condescendingly, and asked eagerly.

"She ......" Zhao Lan stopped talking, don't turn her head and didn't want to see the eager gaze in Lin Xi's eyes, and sighed lightly after a while before saying, "She, she was kicked out, and I hurt her." ”

Lin Xi frowned, not understanding the meaning of this sentence.

Zhao Lan didn't hear Lin Xi's answer, and then said, "It's okay to tell you." ”

"I like Jiang Yan very much, and I once mentioned that I wanted her to pass on to our husband and wife. It's because I didn't think about it, and her succession to our name means that she will be able to rightfully inherit the Jiang family's shares in the future. ”

"In order to prevent her from messing with the Jiang family, Jiang Si's parents disagreed, targeted her everywhere and kicked her out?"

Lin Xi took the conversation for Zhao Lan, and even his tone was a little unkind, "In that case, why did they take her back in the first place?"

"Because of Xiao Li's threat. Zhao Lan sneered, "She has the handle left by her eldest brother over the years of doing business, in order not to destroy the Jiang family's business, so the eldest brother and sister-in-law took her back." ”

"Lin Xi, ...... you" Zhao Lan turned his head to look at Lin Xi, his expression was serious, and his tone was serious, "The person you like, is it Jiang Yan?"

Lin Xi turned his face away, his heart was confused by Zhao Lan's question, he remembered the photos he saw at Lin's house this afternoon, he felt uncomfortable, and replied softly: "I don't know either." ”

"You're not suitable. Zhao Lan's words made Lin Xi tilt her head and look at her with an uncertain expression, she saw the puzzlement in Lin Xi's eyes and continued: "You two ...... The door is not right, the door is not right. ”

"Aunt Zhao, I didn't expect you to also value these four words. Lin Xi's tone was a little displeased, he had always respected Zhao Lan, but he didn't expect that Zhao Lan was also a person who belonged to the traditional old school.

"I'm not talking about family. It's your experience, your experience, your heart. ”

Zhao Lan explained with a smile and continued: "If the bird wants to dive, he has to risk being drowned. Fish want to soar in the sky, but they are limited to being born without wings. ”

"I'm a bird, and Jiang Yan is a fish. Lin Xi smiled bitterly.

Birds and fish are destined to have no intersection. No matter how hard you try, you can't soar into the sky together, or dive deep to the bottom together.

"Let's go inside. Zhao Lan stopped talking to Lin Xi about this, and turned around and walked towards the door.

Lin Xi stood in place and thought for a long time, followed behind Zhao Lan, and entered the house one after the other.

The laughter in the room, Jiang Si's docility and flattery, could not calm Lin Xi's irritable mood. In his mind, he thought of countless scenes of Jiang Yan being embarrassed by everyone in the Jiang family, and also imagined countless scenes of Jiang Yan despairing and not admitting defeat.

In fact, Jiang Yan was more skinny, cheerful, and optimistic than Qi Jun in high school.

Every time she laughed, Lin Iris always said that as long as she saw her smile, even if it was a cloudy day, she would feel that the sky was bright.

Lin Xi looked at Jiang Siqiao's smiling face with burning eyes, and his eyes outlined her facial features.

He thought that Jiang Yan was not at all like Jiang Si when she had long hair, Jiang Yan was more beautiful than her, more spiritual, and more easily confused.

"Lin Xi, why are you looking at me, do you want to marry me?" Jiang Yan laughed, and her smart voice seemed to come from far away.

Jiang Si's face gradually became Jiang Yan's face in high school in Lin Xi's eyes.

Jiang Si blushed at Lin Xi's affectionate and burning gaze, and his heartbeat pounded faster. Seeing this, the elders on the side smiled and quipped, "Young Master Lin and our Jiang Si are really a natural pair." ”

"Isn't it?" Mrs. Jiang accosted with a smile, "We Sisi are more shy, you can see that we are all blushing." ”

"That's also because Young Master Lin's eyes are too affectionate. The third lady of the Jiang family answered with a smile.

The Lin family's grandmother glanced at Lin Xi with satisfaction, and her eyes fell on Jiang Si's face again, her eyes were full of tenderness and approval.

The old man of the Lin family snorted coldly, and secretly scolded Lin Xi in his heart for losing face, losing his mind for being a woman, having no fight, and losing the face of the Lin family.

Zhao Lan knew that Lin Xi was just in a daze, and he must have remembered Jiang Yan when he looked at Jiang Si to be so out of shape. To be honest, she has always disliked Jiang Si, her niece, and she doesn't want her to be with Lin Xi.

Lin Xi felt that someone bumped him lightly, and when he turned around, he saw the Jiang family's maid supporting Zhao Lan.

Zhao Lan just said that she was uncomfortable and wanted to go back to the room to rest, but when she passed behind Lin Xi, she suddenly fell down, and her hand holding the back of the sofa chair pushed Lin Xi.

"Aunt Zhao, what's wrong with you?" Lin Xi stood up, took Zhao Lan's hand and asked urgently: "Why is your face so pale, I'll take you to the hospital to have a look." ”

"Okay, thank you. Zhao Lan nodded and thanked weakly.

After Zhao Lan gave birth to the child and died, he was too sad and caused his health to be bad, and the Jiang family did not suspect that he had been in the hospital every now and then for so many years.

After Lin Xi said goodbye to Old Man Lin and Grandma Lin, he helped Zhao Lan out of the door.

Old Man Jiang and Old Madam Jiang originally wanted their driver to take her to the hospital, but Lin Xi refused, and the people of the Jiang family couldn't say anything.

When he arrived at the door, Lin Xi hadn't called the Lin family's driver yet, so Zhao Lan stopped him, "I'm fine, you don't have to go to the hospital, go out for a walk with me." ”

Lin Xi nodded and followed Zhao Lan out of the gate of the Jiang family. The two of them walked along the road, Zhao Lan walked very slowly, and Lin Xi supported Zhao Lan to follow her to keep the same pace.

After about half an hour, Zhao Lan stopped, looked sideways at Lin Xi and said with a smile: "You go back." Your second uncle Jiang should be back soon, I'll wait for him for a while, and then go home together." ”

Lin Xi had already reacted at this time, and Zhao Lan was helping him out of the siege. When they were in high school, Lin Xi and Lin Iris often went to Jiang's house, firstly because Jiang Yan was at Jiang's house, and secondly because Zhao Lan often made pastries for them.

Over time, Lin Xi and Lin Iris both liked Zhao Lan very much. Although she is frail and in poor health, she is also gentle on weekdays, but she is the most sensible person among all the people in the Jiang family.

Lin Xi was about to leave when Zhao Lan stopped him, and when he turned around, he heard Zhao Lan say: "If you can see Jiang Yan, please bring her a message, I hope she can come back to see me when she has time, I want to talk to her in person, I'm sorry." ”

Jiang Yan has changed her mobile phone number since she went to Puyang, and Zhao Lan didn't do it even if she could let people find her mobile phone number, she hoped that everything Jiang Yan did would be willing.

When Lin Xi returned to Lin's house, Old Man Lin and Old Lady Lin were already at home, and the two old men inquired about Zhao Lan's situation.

Xu Han and Lin Xi lived in Lin's house for five days, and the two of them spent most of their time sitting in the courtyard writing songs and playing. From time to time, I also moved the computer out, called eleven twelve to play games together, and had a lot of fun.

The day they left, they left quietly, and Old Man Lin was furious when he found out, but for the sake of face, he didn't let the people of the Lin family escort Lin Xi back, but only said that he would add some problems to him and make him come back willingly.
