Chapter 7: The Treachery of the Beverly Five (3)
From Chinatown to St. Ann's metropolitan area, Lin Si'er drove for half an hour before arriving at her aunt Lin Deying's house.
There is no place in Sanlang City that can be called the city center. Only in the San Ann's metropolitan area, because it is in the inner city of San Francisco, there are several districts and counties connected together, and it is close to North Hollywood Studios, so it is the most densely populated.
When Lin Deying saw her niece, she was happy and worried.
Happily, I heard that Lu Zhichao and Fan Lizhi had broken up a few months ago, and Lin Si'er was finally willing to come back from the capital of Huaguo to Sanlan City, and she hoped that this young couple could abandon their previous suspicions and live a stable life; Worried, she has always known that Lin Si'er has an old love in her heart, and she is worried that her niece's emotions still have a wall against Lu Zhichao.
At the beginning, Lin Deying received the order of her brother and sister-in-law to persuade Lin Sier to marry Lu Zhichao, and played a very disgraceful role in the back.
Lin Deying even thought that if her niece came back this time, when would she fall out with Lu Zhichao again, if she decided to leave Beverly 5 again, and her only aunt had already gone to Phoenix, wouldn't she leave her niece alone in Sanlan City, and she wouldn't even have a place for her relatives to go to.
When her cousin got married, Lin Si'er made a special trip to Phoenix, Arizona, and didn't like her cousin's daughter-in-law.
The reason is that the other party's parents from Taiwan Island are very arrogant and call Lin Si'er "you Chinese", while they themselves shamelessly say "we are Taiwanese".
What especially humiliated Lin Si'er was that because over the years, many mainland women had married and settled on Taiwan Island, so they joked to her, "Your mainland China is constantly exporting foreign brides to our Taiwan Island." ”
Lin Si'er was disgusted that her cousin-in-law and her father spoke in the same tone, and did not agree that she was still Chinese in nature.
The cousin's father-in-law's surname is Lai, and his ancestral home is Quanzhou, Fujian. Because his ancestors followed Zheng Chenggong to recover Taiwan from the Dutch, they have settled in Tainan for several generations, and now they often regard themselves as natives of Taiwan Island.
By the first change of leaders of the blue and green islands in Taiwan in 2,000 years, this person surnamed Lai was assigned to the post of deputy representative of an overseas office because of his frequent contributions during the green election, and took his wife and daughter to the United States to take office.
At first, Lai's family lived in New York.
However, in 2008, because of the change of government again, although the surname Lai was dismissed, he had no intention of returning to Taiwan, but moved his family to Phoenix, Arizona, while doing business in the electronics trade, while paying attention to the changes in the current situation on the island.
Because of a long-term contract with a Chinese magazine, Lin Sier has only devoted herself to column writing during her years in Sanlan City, and has always had little energy to pay attention to what Lu Zhichao and his CM.DN company are doing and which businesses they are doing business with.
It was only a few years ago that I accidentally learned that Lu Zhichao had been in Shanghai, China, and participated in the investment of a company called Falkden Industrial.
The marriage between the cousin and the daughter of the Lai family was single-handedly facilitated by Lu Zhichao.
Lin Si'er didn't know how Lu Zhichao got acquainted with the Lai family, but since he learned about the background and political tendencies of the person surnamed Lai on the island, especially actively supported and participated in the "education of island independence", and planned the new syllabus history textbook on Taiwan Island on the road, he thought that this was the most sinister means of going to China and island independence, so he had hidden worries about this family business.
She expressed strong opposition to her aunt and uncle for this reason, but her uncle was very optimistic, and the reason for her optimism stemmed from her absolute trust in Lu Zhichao.
Lin Si'er walked into the backyard of their house with her aunt, and saw that her uncle had hired someone to pack the furniture, as if he had made long-term preparations that would never return, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost.
She asked her aunt when she was leaving and how long her cousin-in-law's due date was.
Lin Deying replied to her niece that the couple had booked a ticket for the day after tomorrow and arrived in Phoenix two weeks in advance before their daughter-in-law gave birth.
Then, she asked Lin Si'er about her plans with concern: "Si'er, since you are willing to come back this time, my aunt wants to hear what you really think in your heart." ”
"When I came back this time, I didn't really bother to think about anything other than to see how Yashi was doing."
Lin Si'er answered her aunt truthfully.
Lin Deying said worriedly: "You are still young, and you will live with Lu Zhichao for a long time in the future." My aunt advises you not to be willful anymore, and when Lu Zhichao returns home, you have to treat him well! ”
"Yes, Si'er, let's be more patient for the sake of Yashi!" My uncle also persuaded. "I value Zhichao a lot. Not only does he have a deep family background, but his current company is also very big, and he is very famous in the Chinese circle of Sanliang City. I heard that Pan Xiuzhu is planning to give up the position of chairman of the Asian American club to him! ”
"No matter how rich and famous Lu Zhichao is, it's just his own business." Lin Si'er argued, "Uncle, you know, I never think that wealth is the only pursuit in life. ”
She has always disliked her uncle and aunt tending to be inflammatory, and she praised Lu Zhichao as a guest.
"How about you still need Zhichao, do you want him to run for parliament? In the United States, men actually enjoy more and more full freedoms than women. I think Zhichao has a rare loyalty to family and marriage. You know, he didn't file for divorce from you because of the actress surnamed Fan. ”
My uncle was a little angry, and the more he said, "I also believe that if Lu Zhichao really plans to engage in politics in the United States, he may really succeed in being elected as the first Chinese councilor in Sanlang City." ”
Lin Si'er didn't expect that when she first met her aunt and uncle when she returned to Sanli City, everyone was very unhappy because she talked about the relationship between her and Lu Zhichao.
However, when Lin Deying sent her niece out, she still didn't forget to tell her again and again that she should make good use of her talent as a woman and take the initiative to get close to her man.
Lin Si'er responded to her aunt's concern with silence.
In fact, since some time ago in the capital of Huaguo decided to resign from the position of "Social Weekly" and return to Sanliang City, which has been separated for a year and a half, she still has no clue what kind of inner entanglement she has.
Is it really as my aunt expected just now, it seems that because Lu Zhichao has already broken off contact with the woman named Fan Lizhi, he plans to forgive him and have the heart to mend the relationship between the two as husband and wife?
Perhaps, there will be such a fluctuation in Lin Sier's subconscious. After all, they have a daughter in common. It's because of poor Yashi that she keeps worrying.
However, you must know that in your own emotional world, you have never really accepted Lu Zhichao's existence from the beginning.
That's why she didn't care if Lu Zhichao had any other women, one or even several, and she never minded too much because of jealousy.
However, the only thing Lin Si'er had to face and admit was that the reason why she chose to leave Huaguo again was only forced by her last despair for her first love Hua Nianping, because of the embarrassment that had accumulated between her feelings and reason, and she had no choice but to escape.
