Chapter 17: The Night of Murder and Arson
It was late at night when Lin Manqing returned to the villa, but he didn't expect that the people in the family hadn't slept yet.
The father sat on the sofa in the living room, his face solemn, and the mother on the side seemed to have a sad face.
Younger brother Lin Yun is playing a game with his mobile phone.
Even Butler Luo was there.
Lin Manqing felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and asked, "Mom, parents, is something wrong?" β
"Manqing?" Yan Huimin was a little surprised, "Why did you come back, didn't you say that there are activities at school and you won't come back on weekends?" β
"Oh, the event was cancelled for the time being." Lin Manqing said.
"Then why don't you tell your family and let the driver pick you up." Yan Huimin reproached, "You are alone, how dangerous are you?" β
"I'm such a big person, what's in danger."
Lin Manqing said this, but she couldn't help but feel empty in her heart.
Thinking of the experience on the road, I was also a little afraid, and then my mind was full of Li Muchen's appearance and the words he said, lingering.
Remember https://m in a second.
"If there is no danger, it is not allowed." Lin Qiu said sharply, "You are the daughter of the Lin family, and it is the Lin family that you represent when you go out." Do you think I'm willing to send you a driver and bodyguards? Outside, I don't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at us. You came back so late, where did you go? β
"It's just hanging out with my classmates."
"Which classmate?"
"Zhang Jie, you know each other, and Zhang Yiping."
"Zhang Yiping? Is it the son of Yongqing Chairman Zhang Genmao? β
Hearing that she was with Zhang Jie, Yan Huimin was relieved and said, "Okay, okay, my daughter hasn't been in any mess with people, so don't get to the bottom of it, give your daughter a little freedom." β
Lin Qiusheng snorted coldly: "What does Zhang Genmao's son want to do, I don't know yet?" If you want to climb my daughter's high branches, he is not worthy of the Zhang family. β
Yan Huimin glanced at her husband and said, "No matter how poor the Zhang family is, they are also rich in Hecheng, and Yongqing Group also cooperates with us." If you want me to say, I'd rather let Manqing marry Zhang Genmao's son than her marry that hillbilly. β
Lin Manqing heard that something was wrong, "Mom, what are you talking about, what hillbilly, what is not married?" β
Lin Yun, who was playing with his mobile phone on the side, said: "Sister, you have a fiancΓ©, don't you know?" β
"What?" As soon as Lin Manqing heard the word fiancΓ©, she didn't know why, but the first thing that popped up in her mind was Li Muchen's name.
Lin Yun said: "You have a fiancΓ©, it was your grandfather who helped you order a baby, and today they came to the door with a marriage contract." β
Lin Manqing's eyes widened, "Impossible! Lin Yun, what nonsense are you talking about? β
"Cut, don't you believe it, ask Mom, Mom sent people away, and then Grandpa found out, Grandpa was not happy, and gathered all the people in our family, even Uncle and they came. The master said that if he didn't get the people back, he would drive his mother out of the house and go back to Meicheng. β
"Mom, is this true, what the hell is going on?" Lin Manqing asked loudly.
Yan Huimin glanced at her husband, sighed, and said, "Manqing, Mom didn't mean to hide it from you, I originally thought that this was just a marriage contract with someone when your grandfather drank too much and was confused for a while." After so many years, it has not been mentioned again. But who would have thought that man would come to the door today. β
"Who is it?" Lin Manqing asked.
"I heard it's a Taoist priest." Lin Yun hurriedly said, with a wicked smile on his face, "Sister, it's okay to marry a Taoist priest, help me get a few pills in the future, so that I can also live forever." β
Lin Manqing glared at him fiercely: "You shut up for me!" β
Lin Yun stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.
Lin Qiusheng asked, "Huimin, have you investigated this person's family background?" Our dad won't marry someone for no reason. β
Yan Huimin said: "Can I not investigate, since eighteen years ago, after my father said this, I will investigate." The man had no father or mother, and lived with his grandfather, who lived by picking up garbage. Then the old man died, and the child was gone. I thought he was dead, but who would have thought that after more than ten years, he would come back. β
"No, it's just a garbage picker?" Lin Yun was disappointed, "I thought it was the descendant of some secret sect." β
"So where has he been for more than ten years?" Lin Qiusheng asked.
Yan Huimin shook her head: "I don't know about this." But looking at the way he came today, he was dressed in tatters, with his hair in a bun, he really looked like a Taoist priest, and he must not be doing well. He calculated that our Manqing is an adult, so he expects to turn over by being the son-in-law of our Lin family. β
"I don't marry, no matter what he does, I won't marry." Lin Manqing said loudly, "What age is it, and you still finger it for marriage, feudal!" β
"Sister, you go and talk to grandpa about this."
"Okay, I'll go find Grandpa."
Lin Manqing said that he was about to leave.
"Stop!" Lin Qiu shouted loudly, "Your grandfather is over eighty years old, and he has been in poor health recently, so he is not allowed to block him." There's nothing to say about this matter, forget if you can't find it, if you find it, I'll hold an engagement banquet for you right away. β
"Dad!" Lin Manqing still wants to say more.
Lin Qiusheng gave an order: "Okay, you go back to your room to rest, Steward Luo, arrange the eldest lady, she is not allowed to go anywhere except for school recently." β
Lin Manqing had no choice but to stomp his feet and go back to the room in a huff.
Back in the room, she lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Born in a famous family, beautiful, and a scholar, she is a pearl in the palm of her hand at home, and the stars hold the moon outside, no matter where she goes, she is the center of the world and the object of attention.
However, she can't even be free to fall in love.
A person who has never met before suddenly comes to the door with a marriage contract, and when you think about it, you know that this person is not very good.
Grandpa actually asked her to marry such a person.
The more Lin Manqing thought about it, the more angry she became, and the more she thought about it, the more she wanted to cry.
She took out her phone and flipped through the address book, trying to find someone to talk to.
But she found that there was no real bosom friend who could tell her about these things.
If she wasn't the eldest lady of the Lin family, I don't know how many people in this address book would treat her as a friend?
In the end, her eyes stayed on the name named Li Muchen.
She hesitated and sent a message:
'Slept?' β
Li Muchen's reply was:
'Sleeping'
Lin Manqing was lost for a while, and was about to put down her mobile phone, when she received another one:
'Awake now'
She smiled and replied:
'Sorry to wake you up'
'It's okay'
Lin Manqing thought about it for a long time, and finally wrote a paragraph:
'What would you do if someone forced you to marry a man you'd never met?' β
After a long time, I received Li Muchen's reply:
"I'm a man, no one forced me to marry a man"
Lin Manqing couldn't help but laugh.
Thinking of Li Muchen's typing speed, it is rare to reply with such a long sentence.
'My family wants me to marry someone I've never met, what do you think I'm going to do?' β
Lin Manqing was just complaining, and he didn't expect Li Muchen to give any useful advice.
Unexpectedly, Li Muchen replied soon:
'Marrying'
Lin Manqing aired:
'Why are you like this, I've never seen that man, if you're old, ugly, and bad.'
Li Muchen replied: 'I'll calculate it for you'
Lin Manqing was curious: 'Do you know fortune telling? β
It was another long wait before Li Muchen's reply came:
'Your fiancΓ©, Yushu is in the wind, suave, talented, almost a dragon and phoenix among people, a fairy in the world'
Lin Manqing lay on the bed and finally couldn't help laughing.
The unpleasantness just now was swept away.
β¦β¦
Downstairs in the living room.
When the children were gone, Lin Qiusheng pinched his forehead and said, "Huimin, you should worry more about this matter and find people as much as possible." Things have not been going well in business lately, and there will be a meeting tomorrow morning, so I'll go and rest first. β
Yan Huimin nodded, and only she and the housekeeper Luo Mingsha were left in the living room.
"Is it done?"
"It's all done."
Steward Luo didn't know that something had happened to the people he sent, and thought that they had killed Li Muchen, and left Hecheng according to his prior instructions.
The two million, naturally, fell into his own pocket.
"Are you sure that kid took the money and won't go back to Hecheng?" Mrs. Lin was still a little worried.
"Don't worry, he won't show up again." Steward Luo said confidently.
"It's just that madam, you ......"
"If you don't worry, the old man can't really drive me back to Meicheng." Mrs. Lin was also very confident, "Send everyone out tomorrow to find it, and make a big noise, so that the old man knows that we have done our best." β
