25. Family banquet
When Lin Yichen and Soraka were about to return to the living room, Grandpa Chen came with a servant.
"Little boy, it's a long journey, Miss Soraka should be tired, and my lord asked me to arrange for someone to take her to the guest room to rest." Grandpa Chen said.
"Grandpa Chen, I'm not tired." Soraka didn't know what to do, and replied very bluntly.
Lin Yichen smiled awkwardly at Grandpa Chen, and then said to Soraka, "Soraka, you go to rest first, I'll go to you later." ”
Soraka finally didn't go overboard and didn't speak again, and then Grandpa Chen asked the servant to take Soraka down.
Grandpa Chen smiled and said, "Little boy, Miss Soraka is very cute." ”
Lin Yichen touched his nose and said, "Grandpa Chen, you misunderstood, she's not my girlfriend?" ”
"Huh?"
Lin Yichen smiled bitterly: "She was just too nervous, so she made a mistake, she ...... She's just my employee. ”
Thinking that since he asked Soraka to call his boss, he simply positioned Soraka as his employee.
Grandpa Chen was puzzled: "Little boy, aren't you still in school?" How? ”
Lin Yichen scratched his head and said, "I can't explain it for a while, in short, I really don't have that kind of relationship with Soraka." ”
"Huh...... Okay, you young people's affairs, I'm not a bad old man, but ......" Grandpa Chen paused, lowered his voice and said: "Little boy, no matter what Miss Soraka has to do with you, it is not a good choice for you to bring her back at this time, if it is usual, the lord and Mrs. He will definitely be very happy, but today ......"
Lin Yichen smiled, interrupted him, and said, "Grandpa Chen, I'm bothering you." In fact, in my opinion, none of this matters, grandpa shouldn't be angry with me because of this, right? ”
Grandpa Chen looked at Lin Yichen's indifferent appearance, sighed, and said, "You, just like Young Master Wenzhi, you don't care about anything, you don't care about anything." The lord won't care, but ......."
Lin Yichen said: "Grandpa Chen, don't worry, I know how to measure." As for my dad, well, it's really unreliable. ”
Looking at Lin Yichen's serious appearance of saying that his father was unreliable, Grandpa Chen couldn't help laughing, he followed Lin Tianren all his life, whether it was Lin Wenyi, Lin Wenli, Lin Wenzhi, or Lin Yichen and Lin Haocheng, it can be said that he grew up. Among the three brothers, Lin Wenyi, Lin Wenli and Lin Wenzhi, he likes Lin Wenzhi the most; Now Lin Yichen's personality is the same as his father Lin Wenzhi, and he also prefers Lin Yichen more than Lin Haocheng, so he can't help but want to remind him. But now it seems that it is indeed a dragon giving birth to a dragon and a phoenix, and the father and son are almost identical in life.
Soon, he was back in the living room. It's just that everyone didn't say a word about the talented Soraka, and talked about family life as usual, or some current affairs, etc., and of course, the family's various industrial issues.
The Lin family is such a big family, and the family industry naturally has a lot of family industry, which can be said to include all walks of life. At present, the old man Lin Tianren has taken a back seat, and the pillar industry of the family has been handed over to the three brothers, Lin Wenyi, Lin Wenli and Lin Wenzhi. Among them, the eldest brother Lin Wenyi is mainly responsible for domestic industries, while Lin Wenli is responsible for overseas industries, as for Lin Yichen's father Lin Wenzhi, he is more soy sauce, and he can say that he is responsible for everything, or he is not responsible for anything.
Suddenly, Lin Tianren looked at Lin Haocheng and asked, "Haocheng, I heard that you are starting your own business, come and tell your grandfather, what are you going to do?" ”
Lin Haocheng is three years older than Lin Yichen, so he naturally entered the society one step earlier, and has graduated for nearly two years.
Lin Haocheng said: "Grandpa, I'm just making a little fuss, I'm afraid I'll make you laugh, so let's not say it." ”
Lin Tianren's face sank slightly, and he said, "What is a small fight?!" Since you want to start a business, if you don't even look down on yourself, then your business will be doomed to failure. ”
Lin Haocheng hurriedly said: "What Grandpa taught me was that I was wrong. ”
Seeing his panicked look, Lin Tianren's face softened, and said: "Don't blame grandpa for being so strict with you, there are only two children in your generation, you and Yichen, and in the future, this huge family will be handed over to you two brothers, so you must be stronger than your peers, even better than your father, only in this way can I rest assured that the family will be handed over to you after a hundred years." ”
"Dad, tomorrow is your birthday, this kind of talk is not appropriate, right?" Big Berlin Wenyi said.
Lin Wenli also continued: "Big brother is right, Dad, you are still very healthy, don't say this kind of thing in the future." ”
Lin Tianren said with a smile: "Birth, old age, sickness and death, the cycle of heaven, that day will come sooner or later, what can't be said." It's a shame that the two of you are still brothers, Wenzhi will ......" Speaking of this, his gaze fell on Lin Wenzhi, and he was slightly stunned at the same time.
Everyone looked over and couldn't help but be speechless.
Lin Yichen covered his face, and he was no longer able to complain about his father.
It turned out that Lin Wenzhi was actually asleep, just leaning on the chair, and even snoring slightly.
The corners of Grandpa Chen's mouth, who was standing beside Lin Tianren, moved slightly, and he could see that he wanted to laugh but endured it, then walked to Lin Wenzhi's side, gently pushed him, and shouted, "Young Master Wenzhi." ”
Lin Wenzhi's body was shocked, he opened his eyes, looked around blankly, and then asked, "What's wrong?" Ready to eat? ”
Except for Lin Tianren and Lin Yichen, everyone looked funny and wanted to laugh but couldn't hold back.
But seeing Lin Tianren's blue face, he said, "Eat, eat, eat!" I know how to eat, drink and be merry all day long, and I have never let me worry about it since I was a child. ”
Lin Wenzhi looked embarrassed, and Lin Wenyi said: "Dad, don't blame the third brother, the third brother helped me settle last night, so I was tired." ”
Lin Tianren glanced at Lin Wenyi and snorted.
Lin Wenzhi winked at Lin Wenyi and expressed his gratitude. Obviously, there was absolutely no such thing last night.
At this time, a servant appeared outside the living room and shouted, "Master, young master, son, it's time to eat." ”
Lin Tianren stood up and said, "Let's go." Then he and Grandpa Chen took the lead in walking out of the living room, Lin Wenyi and Lin Wenli followed, and Lin Wenzhi patted the latter's head when he passed by Lin Yichen's side, and said in a low voice: "Son, it's not bad, even the foreign girl has done it, better than your father and me." ”
Lin Yichen smiled bitterly, he sometimes really admired his mother for being able to subdue his disrespectful father.
By the time everyone arrived at the restaurant, a large long table had been set up, and the long table was already filled with sumptuous dishes.
Lin Tianren was the first to take a seat, followed by Lin Yichen's grandmother Zeng Shuqin, followed by Lin Wenyi, Lin Wenli and Lin Wenzhi, then Lin Yichen and Lin Haocheng, and finally Lin Yichen's mother, aunts, aunts and four cousins. This strict feudal family system makes Lin Yichen very powerless to complain, but fortunately, this situation is only at every large-scale family banquet, and it is not the case on weekdays.
Lin Tianren turned his head to Grandpa Chen and said, "Old Chen, you asked someone to prepare a meal for the little girl that Yichen brought back, and send it to her." ”
"I've already arranged it, don't worry." Grandpa Chen said.
When Zeng Shuqin heard this, she was puzzled: "Little girl? What little girl? ”
Lin Tianren glanced at Lin Yichen and said angrily: "You go and ask your precious grandson yourself." ”
Everyone's eyes were suddenly focused on Lin Yichen, Lin Yichen touched his nose and said embarrassedly: "I brought a friend back today, well, it's a woman." ”
As soon as the words fell, his father Lin Wenzhi answered, "I'm still a foreign girl." ”
At this moment, Lin Wenzhi immediately attracted everyone's "firepower", and Lin Tianren snorted even more, "It's disrespectful to the old!" ”
Lin Wenzhi suddenly laughed dryly, and saw that Lin Yichen was speechless.
Lin Tianren said: "Let's not talk about this first, let's start eating." As he spoke, he was the first to move his chopsticks, and then the others began to move their chopsticks.
Eat silently, sleep silently!
In every large-scale family banquet, the Lin family strictly follows such rules. Therefore, every large-scale family banquet is also extremely dull.
After the dull family banquet, Lin Yichen was called to the study alone by the old man Lin Tianren.
