However, the feud between Mr. Lin and the Français family did not end, after that banquet, Mr. Lin returned to China, vowed to make the business bigger, about two years apart, Mr. Lin took a fancy to Simmons's "Watchmen" at an auction, he originally planned to auction the painting and give it to Ying Ru's grandmother, but the Françoise family was also present at that time and bid for the painting.

After the auction was over, the François family walked up to Mr. Lin and said with a smile: "Do Chinese people also understand art?" ”

A man next to the François family immediately echoed with a smile: "Oil painting is an elegant art, and if Simmons knew that his painting had almost fallen into the hands of inferior people, he would probably be angry." ”

"But it's good that it doesn't, isn't it?" The François family listened to the words of the people next to them and immediately burst out laughing.

Old Man Lin was humiliated by the François family twice in a row, and naturally made an account in his heart.

Over the years, Mr. Lin has made the Lin family's business bigger, and later, many people in Europe rushed to cooperate with him, but unfortunately, there was no François family among them.

The François family declared bankruptcy a few days ago, presided over by the French court, and all the property of the François family was auctioned, because this matter was in Europe, so the upper circle in the country did not make a big splash, when Mr. Lin learned the news, he was still in the United States for treatment, he and the François family grievances have been over for decades, people have lived a lifetime, one foot has stepped into the coffin, so when he heard the news that the François family declared bankruptcy, he just sighed, and did not do what he thought.

But what he didn't expect was that his grandson Lin Ruize actually bought Simmons's painting in his name, and the humiliation of the François family back then, after decades, still returned it.

Thinking of this, Old Man Lin patted Lin Ruize's hand, and his expression was full of emotion: "Good boy, you have a heart." ”

Lin Xuehai smiled and said, "Ruze's gift is really attentive. ”

Jiang Hui also echoed: "No wonder I saw that a few days ago, this kid Ruize took time out of his busy schedule to fly to France, and it turned out that he was preparing a gift for his father. ”

The couple sang and harmonized, and other people around them also praised Lin Ruize's filial piety.

Ying listened to the flattery of these people, and just wanted to laugh, if only the eldest aunt was here, Lin Xuehai and his wife would definitely be speechless.

At this moment, she noticed that a waiter quietly came behind Lin Ruomeng, leaned on her ear and whispered something, the smile on Lin Ruomeng's face suddenly stiffened, and then followed the waiter to the outside of the crowd, the two stood still, the waiter lowered his head and spoke slowly, and when the waiter finished speaking, she looked up at the waiter, and said something, seeing the waiter nodding, Lin Ruomeng's face was already a little ugly.

After a long while, Ying Ru saw Lin Ruomeng walking back, even though she was full of smiles, but Ying Ru still noticed a trace of irritability in her expression.

As I said before, Lin Xuehai also has an elder brother who lives in the United States all the year round, to be honest, even if he is in his previous life, he has only seen his uncle and aunt once, and Lin Qiwen has never been interested in business, and is now a tenured professor at an Ivy League university in the United States, and his aunt is obsessed with shopping malls, and is currently working as CFO of a multinational company on Wall Street.

According to the plan, the couple should come back today, but because of a certain research in Lin Qiwen University, Lin Qiwen had already left for Antarctica a month ago, and the eldest aunt was stuck at the airport because of flight problems.

The gift prepared by Lin Ruize made the old man very happy, not only for the old man Yixue was humiliated by the François family back then, but also whether it was valuable or not, or the degree of care, it can be seen.

When it was Lin Ruomeng's turn, she smiled and said, "The gift prepared by my brother is so good, but it makes Meng Meng a little unable to take it." ”

Jiang Hui smiled and said, "It's okay, as long as you prepare carefully, grandpa will be happy." ”

"That's it!" Lin Xuehai also nodded.

But Lin Ruomeng still refused to come first, so she coquettishly asked Old Man Lin to see the gift that should be like this first, and Old Man Lin had to nod with a smile: "Okay, good." ”

Seeing this, Ying Ru sneered in her heart, how could she not know what medicine was sold in Lin Ruomeng's gourd.

The corners of Lin Ruize's lips raised a hint of nonchalant smile, and said, "Grandpa, guess what the gift is for you?" ”

Old Man Lin shook his head: "I don't know about this. When he said this, he looked at Ying Ru with a smile, "No matter what gifts you prepare, grandpa is very happy." ”

At this moment, the waiter had already brought the gift that should be the same.

I saw a beautiful and huge gift box on the table, and many people around speculated about what the second miss of the Lin family would give to Mr. Lin, after all, with Lin Ruize as a reference group in front, it should be like this, no matter what it sends, it doesn't seem to be very outstanding.

"Ah, I see!" Lin Ruomeng suddenly smiled and said, "When grandpa was sick a few years ago, he gave away all the birds in the house, and now that grandpa is getting better, he must miss those little guys very much, if so, are you going to give grandpa a bird to accompany him?" ”

Lin Ruize pretended to look at the gift box and said with a smile: "Maybe, such a gift still has a meaning!" ”

"What does it mean?" Lin Ruomeng asked suspiciously.

Ying Ru took the words and said with a smile: "Brother and sister are right, the gift I gave to my grandfather is a bird, because my grandfather liked to raise birds very much, so I found some places, and specially found such a bird for grandpa, and I also hope that grandpa's body can be like this bird." ”

Lin Ruize almost didn't laugh out loud when he heard what Ying said, and a trace of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, this idiot, just dig a pit for her, and she jumped into it without hesitation, without even pushing it.

"Then hurry up and open it for grandpa to see!" Lin Ruize said with a smile.

Mr. Lin is also very interested, as an old-school imperial capital, his favorite thing in his life is to raise birds, about ten years ago, his body began to deteriorate, and later was taken to the United States by his eldest son Lin Qiwen for recuperation, and these birds at home were also given away by him.

Now that he has returned to China, he didn't expect the little granddaughter he met for the first time to give him a bird.

Ying said with a smile: "It's better for grandpa to come forward and open the box in person." ”

Old Man Lin couldn't help but smile when he heard her words, then walked to the table and slowly opened the gift box.

What caught everyone's eyes was a birdcage covered with a cloth, and the old man stretched out his hand to lift the cloth covering it, and when everyone saw the contents of the cage, the original laughter disappeared for a while.

There was silence in the banquet hall, and at this time, no one dared to speak.

I saw that in the beautifully made cage, there was a half-dead lark lying down, Old Man Lin looked at the bird in front of him without saying a word, and after a long while, he finally made a move, threw away the cloth in his hand, turned around and walked back.

At this time, some people couldn't hold back and began to whisper.

"Oh my God, is Lin Er crazy? actually sent a dead bird on the old man's 80th birthday, which is obviously cursing the old man to die early? ”

"That's right! Didn't she just say that she hoped that the old man's body would be like this bird, which clearly hoped that the old man would leave quickly! ”

"Shhhh

In fact, there is no longer a small or small problem, because many people rely on the large number of people, and when they talk in a low voice, they are not afraid of being heard who said it.

Lin Xuehai looked at the dead bird in the cage, and immediately scolded: "Kneel!" ”

Jiang Hui also said with a gloomy face, but Ying Ru still saw a hint of joy from the bottom of her eyes, "Hurry up and kneel down for grandpa to admit your mistake!" ”

Lin Ruomeng turned her head a little overwhelmed to look at the silent Old Man Lin, and then gently pulled Lin Ruize's sleeve.

Lin Ruize just patted her hand lightly, and then replied sharply: "If so!" You're just going too far! Grandpa is so good to you, he has been thinking about you for so many years, I don't know how much I have suffered, I feel so sorry for you, and I always want to compensate you, but I didn't expect you to repay grandpa like this! Grandpa has been sick for so many years, and finally his health has begun to improve, you are not so kind to give grandpa such a gift, you are simply too much! ”

"I ......" Ying Ru opened his mouth, and as soon as he said a word, he was interrupted by Lin Xuehai again.

His voice was fierce, as if he was angry: "I told you to kneel down and admit your mistakes!" Today, in front of so many people, you can be so ignorant of the sky, I don't care what kind of people you were raised by in the first twenty years, but you are now a member of the Lin family, and the Lin family has the obligation to educate you! ”

Jiang Hui frowned, and said: "If so, you quickly kneel down and admit your mistake to grandpa, today is a day of great joy, you are young and ignorant, hurry up and admit your mistake, grandpa will not care about you." ”

"Mom!" Lin Ruize said with some dissatisfaction, "Is she still young?" Meng Meng is no better than her, how can Meng Meng be so sensible? She's not young and ignorant at all, she's just bad! On the day of grandpa's birthday, curse grandpa! ”

"Enough!" Lin Xuehai shouted vigorously, and suddenly everyone stopped talking.

He looked at Ying Ru with a cold look in his eyes: "I asked you to kneel down and admit your mistake to grandpa, did you hear it?" ”

Ying Ru raised his eyes to look at him and said slowly, "Why?" ”

As soon as her words fell, there was a sudden gasp around her, as if they were all amazed at how stupid she was.

"Oh my god, she just asked why? Does this need to be asked? ”

"Is she trying to say she's not wrong? Gosh, is there really nothing wrong with her emotional intelligence? ”
