Chapter 90: Dissuasion
The next morning, sunlight poured into the spacious and elegant living room through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
At this time, Lin Xi and Qin Chu sat at the dining table face to face. On the table are sandwiches, pancakes, fruit porridge, bread, eggs, milk, and more.
Compared to yesterday's dinner, today's breakfast is a bit rich.
Lin Xi reached out to get the only boiled egg on the plate, and the clinker Qin Chu's hand also happened to reach over.
The hands of the two touched together unexpectedly.
His hand was slightly cold, her hand warm, causing her to retract her hand like an electric shock, and coughed lightly in disguise.
Qin Chu's expression was quite complacent, he picked up the only egg and peeled it with his slender white fingers.
Seeing this, Lin Xi felt a little resentful: "I am not only a guest, but also an injured person, and I don't know how to let me eat." What a lack of hospitality. ”
But then again, the way he peels eggs is quite pleasing to the eye.
But Lin Xi only glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze, no matter how pleasing it was to the eye, this egg could not escape the fate of being eaten by him.
She picked up a slice of bread, spread it with jam, and ate it silently.
"Eat." Accompanied by Qin Chu's deep and melodious voice, a white and tender boiled egg was suddenly placed on the plate in front of her.
Lin Xi looked up at Qin Chu in amazement.
"I don't like eggs." Qin Chu said succinctly.
Only then did Lin Xi react, he was peeling eggs for her.
Looking at his deep and bright eyes, Lin Xi couldn't help but secretly pray that he hadn't killed Dincino.
Qin Chu raised his eyebrows slightly: "What's wrong?" ”
Lin Xi shook his head. Picking up the eggs he peeled, she took small bites, always chewing slowly on what she loved to eat.
"Lin Xi, I'll help you peel eggs, don't you say thank you?"
Lin Xi raised his head and said solemnly; "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Halfway through breakfast, Qin Chu suddenly asked; "Lin Xi, the three directors are very optimistic about you, do you want to be the heroine of Night City?"
Lin Xi suddenly remembered what Ren Changfeng's father said to her in the hospital that day, "Xiaolin, you will definitely become an international superstar." ”
"I don't want to." Lin Xi said without hesitation, she is not uncommon to be an international superstar. She has only three main wishes in this life, first to find her brothers, then to reopen the martial arts hall, and finally to become a great scientist.
Qin Chu didn't say anything more, and didn't seem to be surprised at all by her answer.
······
The next day, the weather was a little overcast.
After Lin Xi and Qin Chu had breakfast together, Qin Chu went out, Lin Xi was a little idle and stayed in the bedroom playing with his mobile phone, and the door was suddenly knocked.
Lin Xi put down his phone, got up and walked to the door of the room, opened the door, and saw Steward Li standing at the door with a bundle of brand-new books in both hands. There are about seven or eight books, and the top one happens to be "Mechanics".
"Madam, this is a professional book that the young master asked me to prepare for you." Steward Li's expression was both respectful and cordial.
"Thank you, Steward Li." Lin Xi stretched out his uninjured arm to take the book in Steward Li's hand, and said earnestly: "Steward Li, please don't call me Mrs. in the future, I'm not married yet." ”
"Yes, ma'am." Steward Li humbly agreed.
Lin Xi sighed a little helplessly in his heart. Why are the people under Qin Chu so stubborn, one or two.
"Madam, do you want to teach yourself, or do you want me to help you get a tutor?" Steward Li looked at the book in Lin Xi's hand and asked.
Lin Xi's unthinking way; "I'd better teach myself."
"Alright, may I ask Madame, do you have anything else to do?"
"No, Steward Li, you can go with your business."
·········
Lin Xi was studying and playing with his mobile phone, and in the blink of an eye, the morning time passed.
At noon, Qin Chu did not come back.
Lin Xi sat alone at the long dining table that could accommodate dozens of people, and after lunch, he was about to get up and go upstairs for a lunch break, when Steward Li suddenly came over and said, "Madam, your second senior brother and ninth senior brother want to see you, they are outside the villa now." ”
A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Xi's eyes, but after a little thought, she figured out that it must have been Yun Yang who asked them to persuade her to leave the Qin family.
"Steward Li, please bring them in." Lam Creek Road.
"Yes, ma'am."
After Steward Li turned around and left, Lin Xi quickly turned his brain, thinking about how to deal with the ninth senior brother and the second senior brother later. But before he could think about it, he saw the two of them walking in under the leadership of Steward Li.
After Lin Xi beckoned the two of them to sit down on the sofa in the living room, Steward Li brought refreshments and put them in front of Lin Xi and her two senior brothers. Then he said respectfully: "Madam, I'll go down first." Call me if you have any commands. ”
When Lin Xi heard Steward Li call her Mrs. in front of the two senior brothers, she only felt that one head was two big. But it was hard to say anything, so I had to nod at Steward Li.
As soon as Steward Li left, Liu Jiye stared at Lin Xi and asked; "Senior sister, why did that Steward Li just now call you Madame?"
Lin Xi said calmly: "In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I lied to the people of the Qin family that I was married. ”
Shangguan Beichen didn't speak, Liu Jiye stared at Lin Xi with scrutinizing eyes for a few seconds, and then asked
"Senior sister, why are you staying here?" After asking, without waiting for Lin Xi to answer, he suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "Senior sister, you shouldn't be living with the person surnamed Qin, right?" ”
Lin Xi smiled a little helplessly: "Second Senior Brother, where do you want to go." ”
"Then why are you staying here, don't tell me you like this villa."
For a long time, Lin Xi didn't squeak, she was thinking about whether Yun Yang wanted to tell the two senior brothers about killing Qin Chu.
In the end, she finally made up her mind: "Second Senior Brother, Senior Brother Ninth is inconvenient to talk here, let's go to the garden." ”
After speaking, Lin Xi took the lead in standing up from the sofa.
·······
A few minutes later, the three brothers and sisters came to the vast and elegant back garden like an art garden.
Although it is almost the middle of October, the garden is full of vegetation and flowers.
Lin Xi looked around and saw that there was no one else in the garden. led the two senior brothers to an ingenious octagonal pavilion.
In the pavilion is a round stone table with a smooth surface like jade, surrounded by several stone benches of the same texture.
The three of them sat down on the stool, Lin Xi lowered his voice and said bluntly: "The reason why I came to the Qin family is for Yunyang. ”
Hearing this, Liu Jiye and Shangguan Beichen both showed puzzled expressions.
Lin Xi then said with a solemn face: "Yun Yang suspects that Qin Chu killed Ding Xinnuo, he wants to kill Qin Chu to avenge Ding Xinuo. ”
Liu Jiye shouted in shock: "Yun Yang, is he crazy?" ”
Lin Xi hurriedly said: "Second Senior Brother, your voice is quieter. ”
Shangguan Beichen frowned and asked, "Senior sister, is this matter serious?" ”
"How could I be joking about such a life-threatening matter?"
"How could this kid be so confused?" Liu Jiye showed several deep wrinkles on his forehead.
Lin Xi said with earnest eyes: "Second Senior Brother, Ninth Senior Brother, you two go back and persuade Yun Yang." ”
"Senior sister, don't worry, with me, I will never let him mess around." Liu Jiye swore an oath.
Shangguan Beichen looked at Lin Xi, his eyes were less gentle than before, and a little more serious and dignified: "Senior sister, if that's the case, you can't stay here anymore." ”
"Yes, junior sister." Liu Jiye echoed.
Lin Xi said resolutely: "Although Yun Yang is a very gentle person on the surface, he is very persistent in his heart, and it is difficult to change things once he decides. Even if we stop his revenge now, it will only be a stopgap measure.
If you want to completely dispel his desire to take revenge, you must prove to him that Qin Chu did not kill Ding Cino. Or find the evidence that Qin Chu killed Ding Sino and hand it over to the police. ”
Shangguan Beichen frowned and said, "But in case Ding Xinuo was killed by Qin Chu, it is very dangerous for you to do this." ”
"Senior Brother Nine, don't worry. I do things in my own way. ”
Although Shangguan Beichen and Liu Jiye felt that their junior sister was very smart, in their eyes, Qin Chu, who became the head of the big family at a young age and was respected by many industry bigwigs, was like a tiger, and this whole villa was tantamount to a tiger's den.
How could they rest assured that the junior sister would stay in the tiger's den, so the two tried their best to persuade for a long time.
However, under Lin Xi's strong insistence, the two finally agreed that she would continue to stay in the Qin family, but the premise was that she would call them every morning, noon and evening, and she would definitely not be in danger.
Lin Xi agreed without hesitation.
