Chapter 9: Family Gatherings

Lin Xiaomeng's cousin looked Mu Fei up and down, a trace of imperceptible disdain flashed between her delicate eyebrows, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Zisu's classmate, hello, I'm Zisu's cousin." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Mu Fei nodded to her crampedly: "Hello." ”

"Zisu, this child, has been staying at home and not going to school, we are all worried about her, plus her mother's affairs......" Lin Xiaomeng's cousin paused subtly, and then said slowly: "You also know Mu Fei, right?" Shiso's mother is missing? ”

Mu Fei looked at Lin Xiaomeng, who looked indifferent, and nodded: "I know." ”

"Hey, I don't know what's going on with my aunt now, our family is in chaos, what if something really happens to her!"

Lin Xiaomeng's cousin took Lin Xiaomeng's hand as she spoke, and a sad smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Zisu, don't be too sad, everyone in the family will help you, tell your cousin something, do you know?" ”

She turned her face and said to Mu Fei: "Classmate Mu Fei, thank you for coming to see Zisu, originally we were worried that this child would be okay if he stayed at home alone, but now it seems that she still has a friend like you, so we can rest assured." ”

Lin Xiaomeng easily opened her hand, stood beside Mu Fei, and said with a cold face: "Sister Qingdai, what is the matter with you coming to me." ”

Lin Qingdai chuckled, didn't care about Lin Xiaomeng's attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away, and still maintained a kind smile: "Don't worry, I haven't seen each other for so long, I'll talk about it later, let my cousin see, the villain seems to have lost a lot of weight, my poor sister, it's hard to be alone, right?" ”

"Alright." The young man with a serious face interrupted Lin Qingdai's words and said, "Grandpa asked me to tell you, when you come to your hometown for dinner in the evening, everyone will come, and you must come too, you know?" ”

Lin Qingdai said dissatisfiedly: "Oh, ask Jing, what are you doing so seriously, it frightens Shisu, you look at her little face, she is so frightened that she turns white." ”

Lin asked Jing and said, "I've already brought the words, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." ”

Lin Qingdai smiled slightly and said, "Don't be angry with Zisu, there are still a lot of things to do in Jing Company, so he spoke in a hurry." Remember to come in the evening, everyone is waiting for you. ”

After speaking, the two didn't care whether Lin Xiaomeng agreed or not, turned around and left.

Lin Xiaomeng made a grimace at the backs of the two of them angrily, and after the door was closed, she scolded loudly: "What kind of big-tailed wolf!" Cut! ”

"That, classmate Lin......" Mu Fei waited for her anger to subside slightly, and seized the opportunity to ask, "Why do they call you...... Perilla? ”

He had just heard Lin Qingdai call Lin Xiaomeng a perilla, and he had been curious for a long time.

Lin Xiaomeng pouted, and said unhappily: "Lin Zisu was my name five years ago, and now I will be called Lin!" Small! Sprout! Got it! ”

Seeing that she was inexplicably angry, Mu Fei immediately changed her words and said, "Understand, that ...... Are you going to eat at home? Then I and the Extinction Master can't follow you, maybe that ghost path person will take the opportunity to do it, I think...... Or or? ”

"It makes sense, I don't want to go either, although it will be more troublesome for grandpa to be angry, but it doesn't matter......" Lin Xiaomeng's eyes rolled, and asked Mu Fei thoughtfully: "He just said that everyone will come, right?" ”

Mu Fei said: "That's what I said. ”

"That means ...... Yuan Wanxiang will also go? Lin Xiaomeng bit her lip, thought for a while and made a decision: "When I go back to my hometown at night, I want to meet that man." ”

Mu Fei was startled and persuaded: "Don't, although I can't be sure, but it is very likely that Yuan Wanxiang is the mastermind behind the scenes, isn't this time hitting the muzzle of the gun?" ”

Lin Xiaomeng didn't care and said: "What are you afraid of, there are so many people, I don't believe he dares to mess around!" Besides......"

She smiled sweetly at Mu Fei: "Isn't there still you and the strange monk?" You're going to protect me, right? High school superpowers? ”

Without waiting for Mu Fei to agree, Lin Xiaomeng went back to the room and left a sentence before leaving: "Leave at three o'clock in the afternoon, rest for a while." Remember to inform your boss and tell him that we are back home. ”

"It's really a young lady who doesn't listen to people's persuasion......" Mu Fei reluctantly took out his mobile phone, preparing to call Lin Cao and tell him that Lin Xiaomeng was going to his hometown to see Yuan Wanxiang at night.

The phone rang a few times and no one answered, and after a while, Lin Cao replied with a message.

"What are you doing? I'm busy! ”

Mu Fei replied with a message: "Lin Xiaomeng asked me to go back to my hometown with her to attend a family reunion in the evening, what should I do?" That Yuan Wanxiang seems to be there. ”

"Then you go with her, it's just right, you have to seize this opportunity to meet your parents, maybe the old man of her family will take you as a grandson-in-law, then we will get rich!"

Looking at this text message, Mu Fei silently greeted the female family of this unreliable boss in his heart, and sent a text message to ask, "You'll come over too, right?" I'll give you the address when the time comes, remember to come, I always think it's a Hongmen banquet, and I can't come back if I go! ”

Lin Cao replied: "How good is the Hongmen banquet, you should be Zhang Liang once, and the little monk should be Fan Xu, and accompany Lin Xiaomeng, Liu Bang, to the banquet, and when you come back, the huge Lin family will be ours!" ”

Mu Fei was so angry that he wanted to laugh, and replied: "We didn't have Uncle Xiang to report from the enemy in this Hongmen banquet, so you remember to come!" ”

……

I stayed alone in the room for most of the day, during which Mu Fei also went to the terrace to look for the extinction, expecting that the extinction master would persuade Lin Xiaomeng not to go to this party, but he didn't know that the extinction just replied with a "okay" and closed his eyes and never spoke again.

Mu Fei couldn't sit still, for the matter of following Lin Xiaomeng back to his hometown to attend the family reunion, he always felt that he and the extinction seemed to be a little inappropriate with the past, not to mention that the extinction master looked more different, which was afraid that it would directly scare Lin Xiaomeng's family with the past.

More importantly, what identity does Mu Fei think he should use to attend this family gathering?

Schoolmate? How can any student go to someone else's family reunion?

Boyfriend? That's even worse, don't say that you don't mean that to Lin Xiaomeng, even if you do, with their age and identity, it's okay if Lin Xiaomeng's parents don't kick him out!

directly said that he was a detective who came to help Lin Xiaomeng investigate the disappearance of his mother? The question is will the other party believe it?

Mu Fei was very distressed, and when he was struggling with his worries, Lin Xiaomeng's knock on the door came.

"Mu Fei, get ready to go."

Mu Fei rubbed his sore head, opened the door, and when he saw Lin Xiaomeng standing at the door, Mu Fei was visibly stunned.

Lin Xiaomeng changed into a white dress, tied a side ponytail, and wore a pair of white stiletto sandals under her feet, standing there prettyly, carrying a cross-body bag, the string of the satchel outlined a graceful furrow on the clothes on her chest, making the girl's posture look extremely eye-catching.

Lin Xiaomeng smiled mischievously, winked at Mu Fei, and said with a smile: "Have you seen enough?" ”

Mu Fei heard the ridicule in Lin Xiaomeng's words, looked away in embarrassment, and explained in a low voice: "I didn't expect you to dress so formally." ”

"Well, it's rare to go back to my hometown, of course you have to dress pretty." Lin Xiaomeng smiled and said, "Let's go." ”

"Huh? And here we go? Mu Fei panicked, thought about it and said: "That, classmate Lin, I still don't think it's suitable for me and the master to go with the past, you are a family party, it's all your family, we two outsiders are not embarrassed, some are not very good......"

Lin Xiaomeng looked at Mu Fei dissatisfied, and said, "Why did you mother-in-law and mother-in-law, just say whether to go or not?" ”

Mu Fei shook his head firmly: "Don't go." ”

Lin Xiaomeng said: "Give a reason." ”

Mu Fei said: "I'm an outsider, it's not appropriate to go to your family gathering; And you can also see the appearance of the master, it is easy to scare people. ”

Lin Xiaomeng grinned: "What are you afraid of, if there is anything inappropriate, I dare to take you to our family's party, and I will explain it to my family when the time comes; As for the blame monk, just wronged him, and let him stay not far from us when the time comes, anyway, my hometown is in the suburbs, and there is a big forest around it, and it is dark, so no one will find out. ”

"Student Lin......"

"Alright, that's it." Lin Xiaomeng interrupted Mu Fei's speech, and her expression became extremely solemn: "Since my mother disappeared, it's the first time I've seen that man, and to be honest, I'm also a little nervous." ”

Seeing that her attitude was so solemn, Mu Fei stopped talking.

"According to what you said, I guess my mother's disappearance has something to do with him, in fact, I suspected him before, but there has been no evidence. This time, I want you to go with me to see him, don't you have yin and yang eyes? When the time comes, please take a good look at Yuan Wanxiang and see if he is from your world! ”

Lin Xiaomeng bent down and bowed to Mu Fei: "I know this is dangerous for you, but I really want to know the truth, please!" ”

Mu Fei hurriedly helped her up, sighed, and said, "Okay, let's go." ”

Lin Xiaomeng raised her head and smiled, "Thank you." By the way, what about your boss's side? Did you tell him? ”

Mu Fei said: "I said it over there, and he should come with him secretly." ”

Lin Xiaomeng nodded, turned around and went down the stairs, and said as she walked: "Then let's go!" ”

Mu Fei said: "By the way, how do we get over?" Sitting for rent? ”

Lin Xiaomeng's voice came downstairs: "I called the driver of my grandfather's house to pick us up." ”

"Huh? Driver? Mu Fei was stunned for a moment, and then thought of the eldest lady's family background, so he had to sigh: "It's good to be rich." ”

……

Lin Xiaomeng's hometown is located on the outskirts of Akiyama City.

Sitting side by side with Lin Xiaomeng in the back seat of the limousine, Mu Fei was very uncomfortable.

Extinction seemed to be accustomed to being alone, and when Lin Xiaomeng went to the terrace to invite him to leave in the car with him, Extinction just shook his head slightly, and then disappeared in place in a flash.

"What about the strange monks?"

"The master should have his own way of acting, let's leave him alone......"

So at this moment, there are only three people in the car: Mu Fei, Lin Xiaomeng and the driver.

The silent and serious driver stared at Mu Fei in the rearview mirror from time to time, as if he was looking at something strange.

When they first met, the driver uncle showed a hint of surprise, but he didn't ask anything, just respectfully invited Mu Fei and Lin Xiaomeng to get into the car.

Mu Feiru is sitting on pins and needles, this is just a driver, when she arrives at Lin Xiaomeng's hometown, what should she say in the face of so many relatives of her?

The car drove through a pine forest, and with the sound of brakes, a huge manor appeared in front of Mu Fei's eyes.

Although he knew that Lin Xiaomeng's family was very rich, the manor in front of him still surprised Mu Fei.

Looking at the entrance of the manor, which was like a park gate, Mu Fei squinted slightly.

If it weren't for the two black-clad bodyguards guarding the door, Mu Fei would definitely feel that he had come to People's Park.

The car drove unhindered through the heavily guarded gate, over a boulevard, and into the courtyard.

"Here we are." The driver opened the car door, Lin Xiaomeng got out of the car, and said to Mu Fei, who was still in the car: "What are you doing in a daze?" ”

Mu Fei looked at Lin Xiaomeng and said with a wry smile: "Your hometown is quite big." ”

"It's bigger, what's wrong?"

Mu Fei said: "It's nothing, I just think it's like making a movie, and there are actually two black-clothed bodyguards guarding the door......"

After getting out of the car, Mu Fei saw that there were seven or eight cars parked around, except for one that he could recognize with four circles, he couldn't call out the brand names of the other cars.

But just looking at the appearance, Mu Fei also knows that these cars are definitely not cheap.

Will you have to face such a group of people for a while?

Mu Fei was a little nervous.

Lin Xiaomeng seemed to see his nervousness and patted Mu Fei on the shoulder.

Lin Xiaomeng looked at him and whispered: "Just act when you see the opportunity, no one else needs to care, remember to be honest when you see my grandfather's words, grandpa doesn't like people with oily tones." ”

Mu Fei swallowed his saliva and replied, "Understood." ”

As he spoke, a red sports car roared towards him, and a drift stopped in front of the two of them amid the roar of the engine.

A handsome young man got out of the car, took off his sunglasses and raised his eyebrows, looked at Lin Xiaomeng and Mu Fei beside her, and shouted incredulously: "Yo! Oh, my God! Isn't this Sister Shiso? Why didn't you stay at home today, and came back with a little white face? ”

"This is a cousin of mine, named Lin Qingguo." Lin Xiaomeng whispered to Mu Fei, turned her voice up, looked at Lin Qingguo coldly and said, "Lin Qingguo, do you know that you are very rude?" Do you drive like that! ”

Lin Qingguo grinned disdainfully and said, "This is the parking lot, is it wrong for me to park normally?" Miss, I think it's because you've been squatting at home for too long, and you don't know the way humans live, right? Come, read with me, parking lot, hahahaha! ”

Lin Xiaomeng snorted coldly and pulled Mu Fei forward.

Lin Qingguo turned around and stopped in front of the two: "Eh, don't go, don't you introduce the person next to you?" ”

Lin Xiaomeng said coldly: "Good dogs don't get in the way, get out of the way!" ”

After speaking, he pushed Lin Qingguo away and pulled Mu Fei towards the mansion.

Lin Qingguo took a sip hatefully, looked at Lin Xiaomeng's back and said loudly: "Lin Zisu, don't be too crossy, it's not Lin Banxia who has the final say at home now!" ”

Obviously feeling the girl next to him tremble, Mu Fei frowned, and said carefully: "It seems that your popularity at home is not very good." ”

Lin Xiaomeng pursed her lips and laughed at herself: "It's been like this since my mother disappeared, a group of snobbish relatives, I've long been used to it." ”

Was it such a family relationship?

Mu Fei clenched his fists and thought to himself, "It seems that tonight's family gathering will not be too pleasant. ”

Walking into the mansion, there were three middle-aged men smoking cigarettes standing at the door.

Lin Xiaomeng whispered: "That's my uncles." ”

Mu Fei nodded.

The pot-bellied men also noticed the two, and when they saw that it was Lin Xiaomeng and Mu Fei, they all showed surprised looks.

"Uncle, second uncle, third uncle are good."

Facing the elders, Lin Xiaomeng's attitude was still very respectful.

At least on the surface, it's respectful.

Mu Fei thought so, and Lin Xiaomeng's three uncles opened their mouths and smiled: "Zisu is back!" The old man was still talking about you just now, you haven't been out of the house for so long, we are all worried, well, it looks pretty good, and we are relieved. ”

Lin Xiaomeng greeted with a smile: "Thank you uncle for your concern." ”

After saying the polite words, Lin Xiaomeng's uncles all looked at Mu Fei and smiled kindly: "Who is this?" ”

"It's my classmate, Mu Fei."

Mu Fei hurriedly greeted: "Hello, I am Lin Xiaomeng's classmate, Mu Fei." ”

The three middle-aged men all showed a little strange gaze in their eyes, but they didn't show it in their words: "Ah, it turned out to be Zisu's classmate, welcome." ”

After nodding and greeting, Lin Xiaomeng said, "Where's grandpa?" I'm going to meet my grandfather. ”

"In the backyard, it's a coincidence, Aster also brought a friend back, and now the old man is drinking tea with Aster and her friends, right?"

Lin Xiaomeng showed a slightly surprised look: "Did my aunt also bring her friends back?" ”

The two walked towards the backyard, and the three middle-aged men gave each other a subtle look, and gathered together to talk in a whisper: "Why did this little girl suddenly bring a boy back?" Boss, what do you think is going on? ”

"Don't care, a little girl, what kind of wind and waves can be stirred? I think that kid is just an ordinary boy, I guess it's the girl's little couple, hehe, like her mother, I don't know what my surname is when I see a man, and I'll see how she explains to the old man! ”

The three men smiled knowingly, each thinking carefully about it.

Walking into the mansion, Mu Fei obviously felt that Lin Xiaomeng was a little nervous, and whispered with concern: "Are you okay?" ”

"I'm wondering how to introduce you to my grandfather." Lin Xiaomeng stuck out her tongue, "Just say you're my boyfriend?" I guess grandpa won't be happy......"

Mu Fei said: "What do you mean to be unhappy? Am I that bad? And how do you want to introduce me now? Not suitable, right? I thought you had it all planned! ”

Lin Xiaomeng smiled: "Just kidding." If you really say that you are my boyfriend, it is estimated that grandpa will turn his face and drive people away...... Hey, don't have a black face, I'm serious, I'm still young, how can grandpa agree to me falling in love! Don't talk for a while, look at the way I look! ”

Mu Fei nodded speechlessly.

Walking in this garden-like mansion, moving along the rockery pond to change the scene, the more Mu Fei walked, the more secretly frightened, and deeply realized the true meaning of what is called a famous family.

Unconsciously, Mu Fei found that the scenery ahead changed again.

On the banyan tree by the pond, I know that summer is crying loudly.

Amid the sound of cicadas, the increasingly quiet courtyard appeared under a large banyan tree.

There is a cottage in the yard.

An old man's laughter came from the hut: "Hahaha, I didn't expect you to have studied this calligraphy and painting, it's rare, and there are not many young people like you now." ”

"I only know a little bit about it, and I'm really ashamed to show off my ugliness in front of my uncle!"

A very familiar young man's voice came, Mu Fei was shocked, and was about to say something, but Lin Xiaomeng on the side had already said happily: "It seems that grandpa is in a good mood, let's go in." ”

"Wait a minute......" Mu Fei had just finished speaking, and he had already been pulled into the room by Lin Xiaomeng.

"Grandpa, I've come to see you!"

There were three people sitting in the hut.

An old man with a white beard was pointing to a calligraphy painting on the wall, and next to him was a sweet and lovely girl, and beside the girl stood a young man with neatly combed hair, a face like a crown of jade, and a majestic instrument.

Lin Xiaomeng had just finished saying hello, and the smile on her face had not had time to fade, Mu Fei had already noticed that the back of the girl in front of her was slightly stiff, which was obviously a subconscious move by Lin Xiaomeng in surprise.

He knew why Lin Xiaomeng was so surprised.

Because he was also surprised.

The source of surprise was the young man in the hut.

Although he combed his long hair back and tied it back, he was no longer the flowing long hair that had the temperament of both an artist and an erotic maniac, and the expression on his face had become serious and serious, but that familiar smile that Mu Fei wanted to kick at a glance, who else could there be besides his unreliable boss - Lin Cao?

When the old man saw Lin Xiaomeng and Mu Fei, although he was still a little surprised that his granddaughter came back with a high school student, he still smiled and said, "Zisu is here, who is this?" ”

"Well, it's our squad leader Mu Fei." Lin Xiaomeng came back to her senses, and the smile on her face remained unchanged, "I haven't been to school in the past year, but Mu Fei has always brought me class notes, and when I set off today, he happened to come to give me summer homework, so I brought him along." ”

Mu Fei nodded slightly, and said, "Hello grandpa, my name is Mu Fei, I visited Tang Tu today, and I didn't prepare anything......

The old man smiled happily: "The one who comes is a guest!" Mu Fei, come to our house today casually, don't be too restrained. ”

Lin Xiaomeng turned her head to look at the girl in the hut and said with a smile: "Hello auntie, who is this?" ”

After speaking, she showed a curious look and looked at Lin Cao, who was smiling seriously.

Lin Xiaomeng's aunt looks like she is about 20 years old, like a hibiscus out of water, slender and weak, beautiful and lovely, just standing there so casually, it makes Mu Fei feel close, she is really a rare beauty.

The old man smiled: "Ziyuan, introduce me." ”

Lin Ziyuan smiled shyly: "This is my boyfriend, Lin Cao." ”

"When we first met, my surname was Lin, called Lin Cao, the wildfire could not be burned, and the spring breeze blew the grass of the wild grass that grew again."

Lin Cao stepped forward, shook hands with Lin Xiaomeng politely, turned his head and walked in front of Mu Fei, and whispered when shaking hands: "Hello Zhang Liang, I'm Uncle Xiang." ”

Mu Fei held Lin Cao's hand on the surface to say hello, but he was secretly scolding in his heart: "Dead grass, where are you singing?" ”
