Chapter Forty-Six: Apparent Relatives
Stepping on the wet ground, Yang Zixuan had already walked to the door, standing in front of the villa, she was a little hesitant to send a message to Steward Zhang before entering. After all, if you go in directly, it's not a good etiquette.
She put down her handbag, took out her phone, and was about to edit the text message, when a voice came from her ear.
"Who are you? How did you come here? ”
Yang Zixuan, who was about to send a message to Steward Zhang, heard a woman's voice passing through her ears. She put down her phone, the voice was coming from behind her, and she turned to look behind her.
A woman in a red gown with short curly hair looked to be in her forties. It's a middle-aged woman, but I think I want to look younger, so I deliberately dress up to follow the trend. The dress on her face was too thick, and she didn't look like she was forty-five years old from a distance, if she hadn't been closer to Yang Zixuan, Zixuan saw a small number of wrinkles on her face and forehead, she probably wouldn't have judged her to be a person of this age.
The woman was walking towards her, and Yang Zixuan put down her hand holding the phone and pointed at herself with her other hand.
"Are you asking me?" Yang Zixuan said as she looked around.
The woman smiled and stepped forward and stood in front of Yang Zixuan:
"Hehe, it's just the two of us here, of course you're you."
Yang Zixuan lowered her arms and looked at the woman in the red robe in front of her:
"My name is Yang Zixuan, and I was called by Steward Zhang."
"What do you say? Steward Zhang called you? ”
After the woman heard the words "Steward Zhang", her face changed, and she seemed to be full of doubts written on her face.
"yes, that's right." Yang Zixuan didn't know why the woman in front of her had such an expression, but since she hadn't done anything, she answered her directly.
After listening to Yang Zixuan's answer, the woman looked at the girl in front of her.
"So you ......"
But before he could finish speaking, the door of the villa opened, and out of it came a man in a black suit with a red bow, with a small amount of stubble on his face, who looked to be about thirty years old.
"Madame, you're here."
The man stepped forward and saluted the woman.
The woman replied to the man:
"Steward Zhang, who is this girl?" The woman looked at Yang Zixuan.
The woman's voice fell, and the man looked at the young lady that the woman said, and looked at her appearance, he really hadn't seen her:
"Girl, are you?"
Yang Zixuan looked at the man in front of her and said:
"Steward Zhang? Are you Butler Zhang? We used to call it, or you sent it to me. ”
After Yang Zixuan called the man in front of her as Steward Zhang, she realized that the man in front of her was Steward Zhang.
"You are? Miss Yang Zixuan? ”
Steward Zhang suddenly realized.
"So you really called her here?" The woman in the long shirt should know that she was right, looking at the way the two of them were talking.
"Yes, Madam, according to Mr. Lin Shanhe's last wishes, all his relatives are eligible to participate in this event."
The woman looked at Yang Zixuan in Steward Zhang's mouth, and then threw a contemptuous look: "Hmph, it doesn't matter, anyway, the last person to get the inheritance must be me." ”
After speaking, the woman ignored the two, walked into the villa with a proud face, and disappeared from the field of vision of the two people.
In front of the villa, only Steward Zhang and Yang Zixuan were left at this time. Maybe it is related to her previous life, since she was very young, Yang Zixuan began to face this kind of look, this kind of ridicule, especially when she was working part-time, therefore, women have long been accustomed to this kind of ridicule of themselves just now, and there is no big wave in her heart.
It's just that she wants to know what the woman is from, and she is so unreasonable in front of the former residence of Shanhe.
"Steward Zhang, who was that lady just now?"
"Oh, he is the daughter-in-law of Mr. Lin Shanhe, and the wife of his second son Lin Zipei, Yao Jingwen." Steward Zhang said, but there was a helpless expression on his face.
"Will all of my grandfather's family come here today?" Yang Zixuan asked.
"Yes, there are already a few people inside, Mrs. Yao and Miss Yang just now, and there is only one grandson of Mr. Lin Shanhe who has not come."
"This should be an unusual family gathering." Yang Zixuan asked.
"Yes, Miss, you are right, if it weren't for the words that Mr. Lin Shanhe left about that batch of inheritances before leaving, it must be difficult to see the family gathering together in this former residence of Shanhe."
"Hehe..."Yang Zixuan shook her head helplessly. I didn't expect that family affection was not as good as a few coins in front of this group of people.
"That's right, Steward Zhang." Yang Zixuan suddenly remembered something when she looked around the villa, and she didn't understand: "Why does this villa look very luxurious, and it is also far away from the city, but there is only this street lamp at the door of the villa." Yang Zixuan pointed to the front of the villa, not far from the street lamp.
"Aren't you afraid that the lights aren't bright enough at night?" Yang Zixuan added.
I only heard Steward Zhang answer: "Oh, this young lady rest assured, this street lamp was designed by Mr. Lin himself before, no matter what time it is fully charged to control this street lamp, the brightness of the light is enough to illuminate the outline of the entire villa, Mr. Lin said that this street lamp instead of multiple is also for environmental protection." ”
"That's what my grandfather meant."
"Okay, Miss, it's not early, let's go and rest first, and when everyone arrives in the evening, we will start announcing the question of inheritance."
Hearing Steward Zhang say this, Yang Zixuan realized that she and Steward Zhang had been standing outside just now:
"Oh, I'm sorry, can Steward Zhang take me to meet my grandfather first?"
"Yes Miss, please come with me."
After all, this is the first time in his memory that he is so close to his grandfather, although the old man is gone, but as his granddaughter, he has to kowtow. Under the leadership of Steward Zhang, Yang Zixuan carried her suitcase and followed Steward Zhang into the villa.
As the door of the villa closed, there were already several people sitting on the sofa in the hall, including men and women, as well as Mrs. Yao, who was wearing a red gown just now. When they saw Steward Zhang leading Yang Zixuan in, they didn't pay attention to it at all. It's like you don't see it. But Yang Zixuan didn't need to pay attention to them, she knew that the main purpose of her coming was to see her grandfather for her grandmother, as for the inheritance, it would be good to go through the process when the time came, and she didn't expect to get the inheritance in the end. Relying on his current living state, he is able to support himself and his grandmother.
Coming to the front of Mr. Lin Shanhe's spiritual seat, Yang Zixuan threw away her suitcase, she looked at the portrait of her grandfather on it, and the black and white photos showed a vicissitudes of life, and her eyes seemed to want to express her previous loneliness.
After kowtowing three times in front of her grandfather's spiritual seat, she stood up and looked at Steward Zhang in front of her. He was the only person who was with his grandfather when he was leaving, and although he was not related by blood, he must be grateful to him.
Yang Zixuan bowed deeply to Steward Zhang, with tears on her face. I didn't get up all the time.
Steward Zhang was almost frightened when he saw this scene, and asked the granddaughter of Mr. Lin Shanhe to bow to him, and this old gentleman would definitely blame himself if he knew. He hurriedly stepped forward and helped Yang Zixuan up:
"Miss, this can't be helped."
"Steward Zhang, this is as it should be."
......
"When did you have another young lady!"
While Steward Zhang was talking to Yang Zixuan, a woman on the sofa suddenly got up and said to Steward Zhang.
Yang Zixuan looked at the woman who spoke, she looked a little like Mrs. Yao at the door just now, whether it was appearance or temper, the woman was wearing a blue short-sleeved Luo skirt, although it was almost autumn now, but she didn't seem to be cold at all, and the dress on her face didn't seem to be inferior to that Mrs. Yao. The fragrance of the long straight hair can enter your nose from a distance.
After the woman finished speaking, Steward Zhang replied to the woman: "Miss Lin, this Miss Yang is the granddaughter of Mr. Lin Shanhe. ”
The woman who was called Miss Lin by Steward Zhang continued: "When did my grandfather have another granddaughter? ”
"I'm sorry Miss Lin, I don't know about this, I'm just doing things according to Mr. Lin Shanhe's last wishes."
"Hmph, no matter if I have another sister or a younger sister, in short, this inheritance will definitely be our family in the end." After she finished speaking, she looked at Mrs. Yao.
After Miss Lin finished speaking, Yang Zixuan asked Steward Zhang beside her: "Steward Zhang, who is this young lady?" ”
"Oh, Miss Lin is the granddaughter of Mr. Lin Shanhe, the daughter of Mr. Lin Zipei, Lin Xiao."
"In other words, it's also Mrs. Yao's daughter just now?"
"Yes."
Yang Zixuan secretly thought, no wonder she looks a little similar to Yao Jingwen, and even her temper is a little similar.
She didn't continue with Lin Xiao's words, she knew that if she continued to say this, Lin Xiao would still talk to her in an aggressive tone. Yang Zixuan looked at the person sitting on the sofa at this time. In addition to Lin Xiao and Ms. Yao Jingwen, who were talking to them just now, there was also a man who was smoking a cigarette sitting next to them, who seemed to be about forty-five years old. It's just that he and Lin Xiao are not too similar, and they don't dare to jump to conclusions.
"Steward Zhang, who is the middle-aged man sitting next to Miss Lin and Mrs. Yao?"
"Oh, he's Lin Zipei."
"But he's not like Miss Lin at all."
Hearing Yang Zixuan say this, Steward Zhang lowered his tone and whispered in Yang Zixuan's ear:
"Miss Yang, in fact, Miss Lin Xiao is not born to Mr. Lin Zipei, Mrs. Yao is a divorced woman, after Mr. Lin married Mrs. Yao, Miss Lin is already five years old."
It turns out that this is the case, no wonder, but this matter is still a private matter of someone else's family, and it is good to listen to it yourself.
At the same time, on the other side of the sofa, the image of a noble lady was sitting on the other side of the sofa at this time, clearly drawing a line with the three of them, and seeing that the noble lady's eyes had been staring at her uncle Lin Zipei, Lin Zipei seemed to be deliberately avoiding her eyes, her eyes were floating, and she didn't know what to look at, it seemed that she was not friendly to Lin Zipei.
However, one thing that can be determined is that their group of people should all come for this inheritance, and compared to the family affection that blood is thicker than water, money is still more important in their eyes. It seems that this is just a group of superficial relatives!
