Chapter 11: The Dinner

There is an old house in the Lin family's mansion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The dinner was served in this old house.

Mu Fei followed Lin Xiaomeng's footsteps for about half an hour, and after passing through layers of rockeries, crossing the barrage bridge, crossing the pine forest path, and finally coming to a country road with no end in sight, he finally couldn't help but ask: "That, classmate Lin, are you sure we didn't go wrong?" ”

The surrounding grass is overgrown, only the sound of insects is heard, and half a figure is not seen, not even a light is on, Mu Fei feels more and more wrong, where is this antique mansion before? It's clearly in the wilderness!

What's more, Lin Cao, this guy didn't wait for the two of them, and slipped away on his own!

Lin Xiaomeng pouted and said, "My hometown is very big, and generally speaking, I have to take a car to go to the old house...... This is the shortcut, you must follow me! ”

Mu Fei couldn't cry or laugh after hearing this: "Huh? Then why don't we take the car and walk! ”

Lin Xiaomeng snorted and said, "Grandpa must have taken the car that drove us, and I didn't want to take the car of other relatives, so I just walked!" ”

When she said this, she looked natural, and Mu Fei couldn't refute it, so she had to say, "Okay, but are you sure you didn't go the wrong way?" It seems like it's a long way from the house, huh? ”

"Ann, la, la." Lin Xiaomeng pointed to the small hill in front of him and said, "If you climb over that hill, you can see the old house." ”

Mu Fei shook his head dissatisfiedly, it was stupid not to sit in a car, but when he turned his head, he caught a glimpse of the lingering solemnity on Lin Xiaomeng's face, and his heart trembled: "She behaved very relaxed, but she was actually very nervous, right?" ”

After Lin Xiaomeng finished speaking, he turned around and walked forward, Mu Fei hurriedly followed, turned on the flashlight function of his mobile phone to illuminate the road ahead, and said, "It's dark and you can't see the road clearly, be careful." ”

"You're pretty careful." Lin Xiaomeng blinked and smiled, her white dress swayed slightly in the evening breeze, and leaned closer to Mu Fei's side.

The two didn't say anything all the way, and only the sound of Lin Xiaomeng's thin-heeled sandals on the ground on the hill was the click.

Turning over the small hill, Mu Fei's eyes lit up.

Lights were seen not far away.

Lin Xiaomeng pointed to the place where the lights were lit and said, "That's it, do you see it?" ”

Mu Fei saw the lit building, and couldn't help but say, "Well, it's really an old house." ”

A row of old-fashioned bungalows with blue bricks and red tiles, located alone at the foot of a small hill, is called the Old House, and it really lives up to its name.

Lin Xiaomeng explained to herself: "That was when my grandfather was still there, and my grandfather's family often went up the mountain to dig herbs, so the old house was built at the foot of the mountain, and then the family got rich, so they bought the whole piece of land here and built a mansion in front of the old house, but the old house was still preserved......"

Lin Xiaomeng said a lot unconsciously.

The more nervous a person is, the easier it is to talk more.

Mu Fei felt that Lin Xiaomeng beside him was trembling slightly, so he reminded in a low voice: "Classmate Lin, take a deep breath." ”

"Whew......" Lin Xiaomeng stopped speaking and took a deep breath.

"How does it feel?"

"Well, no problem."

"Okay." Mu Fei nodded, "Let's go." ”

……

There were seven or eight cars parked in front of the old house.

When the two walked to the door of the old house, they heard the laughter of a middle-aged man inside: "It's rare that my brother-in-law still finds time to come over in his busy schedule!" Since the eldest sister had an accident, our Lin family can rely on my brother-in-law to support you, you are the great benefactor of our Lin family! Be sure to have a few more drinks with your brother-in-law tonight! ”

"Where, where, the second brother is serious." A clear male voice came, "Wanlin is all dependent on you to get to where you are today, I just do my duty to help Ah Xia share his worries." After Axia's accident, I just did some insignificant little things, everything depends on you and my father so that Wanlin will not fall into chaos, I really don't dare to be the title of benefactor, besides, I, Lin Wanxiang, am also a member of the Lin family now, and I don't have to talk about any thanks for helping my family! ”

Lin Xiaomeng's face changed when she heard this voice: "It's Yuan Wanxiang!" ”

Mu Fei listened to the voice, and automatically made up the image of a young man, and couldn't help but say: "Listening to his voice, he doesn't look like a bad guy who cultivates ghosts, but like a big brother next door." ”

Inside, Lin Wanxiang said again: "By the way, what about the little cute people?" Didn't come today? ”

Lin Xiaomeng snorted coldly when she heard this, pushed the door and entered.

The eyes of everyone inside looked at the two people at the door.

Mu Fei saw the man sitting at the big round table at a glance.

Gold-rimmed glasses, meticulous white shirt, gentle smile, clean and clear eyes, and an unusually youthful appearance.

He had seen Lin Wanxiang's photos on the Internet before, but after seeing the real person, Mu Fei was still a little surprised.

Because the man in front of me is very good-looking.

Mu Fei was sure that the photo on the Internet must have made Lin Wanxiang ugly, and the Lin Wanxiang in front of him was like a white-faced scholar in a costume drama who changed into modern clothes and walked out of the TV to come to him, sitting among a group of middle-aged uncles with big bellies, and his appearance was outstanding.

He is with Lin Cao every day, although this boss is very cheating, but he also has to admit that this pit father Taoist boss is definitely killing all ordinary people in reality in terms of appearance.

But after seeing Lin Wanxiang today, he suddenly felt that Dacao's powerful appearance competitor had appeared!

No wonder Lin Xiaomeng's mother is attracted to this man.

Lin Wansheng came up and smiled: "Xiaomeng, come, sit here." This is Mu Fei, right? I've heard my father say, thank you for taking care of my daughter, come, sit. ”

It's a dripping performance.

Mu Fei glanced at Lin Cao who was sitting on the side, this guy was sitting beside Lin Ziyuan, looking like a decent gentleman, and nodded silently after seeing Mu Fei's inquiring eyes.

Mu Fei understood, and just wanted to sit down, but how did he know that the girl next to him didn't have the slightest sense of appreciation, but said amazingly: "Xiaomeng is also your name?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the banquet that was originally smiling and smiling suddenly became cold.

Lin Xiaomeng's relatives tacitly showed an inexplicable smile, and Lin Ziyuan, Lin Xiaomeng's aunt on the edge of Lin Cao, frowned.

The old man sitting at the main seat of the round table had no change in expression, but said: "Zisu is rare to go home and gather with everyone today, just sit on the edge of Qingguo, you young people have a lot of common topics, you can talk more." ”

Lin Wanxiang smiled slightly, did not get angry at all, sat down and said, "What my father said makes sense. ”

Lin Qingguo - A few people around Lin Xiaomeng's handsome cousin moved their seats and vacated two seats.

As soon as Lin Xiaomeng took Mu Fei to take a seat, Mu Fei heard Lin Qingguo whisper in a weird voice: "It's really a father and daughter, I envy you so much, Sister Zisu." ”

Lin Xiaomeng snorted angrily: "Lin Qingguo, I warn you, it's best not to mess with me tonight." ”

Lin Qingguo chuckled, turned around and said, "Brother Wenjin, our sister Zisu is so fierce, haha." ”

Lin Wenjing, the serious-looking man who came to Lin Xiaomeng's house during the day, sat next to Lin Qingguo, and when he heard this, he glared at Lin Qingguo sternly, and said softly: "The old man is here, don't talk too much." ”

Mu Fei sat on the side, bowed his head and said nothing, sighing in his heart: "Classmate Lin's family relationship, tsk, there is no one left." ”

After everyone sat down, a servant began to serve the food, and one after another delicacies that Mu Fei had never seen before were served.

"There are still servants like hotel waiters, and there is no one!" Mu Fei sighed so emotionally in his heart, eating vegetables with his head bored, and observing Lin Wanxiang opposite from time to time.

The man looked very easy-going and poured wine for the old man, holding dishes from time to time, looking like an ordinary filial son, and he couldn't tell that he was a demon cultivating ghosts at all.

Lin Xiaomeng asked in a low voice, "How is it?" See what? ”

Mu Fei shook his head and said: "I can't see it, I don't have any ghost energy on my body, I'm an ordinary person." ”

"Can't you see that?" Lin Xiaomeng licked her lips and was silent.

Mu Fei nodded, he was born with a pure yin body, and he had an almost fatal attraction to demons and monsters, perhaps because of this, he also had the ability to see through these demons and monsters, no matter how well the ghost people were hidden in front of him, they would be revealed in their original form, but in Lin Wanxiang's body, he couldn't feel the slightest ghostly energy.

Just as he was thinking like this, Lin Wanxiang seemed to inadvertently turn his head and glance at Mu Fei and Lin Xiaomeng.

The two of them kept staring at Lin Wanxiang, and when they saw him look at him, Lin Xiaomeng gritted her teeth nervously, and then glared back not to be outdone; Mu Fei felt a little strange, Lin Wanxiang didn't seem to have any ill will towards him, he didn't feel danger from his eyes, just like a normal person.

Could it be that we are thinking wrong? Lin Wanxiang is really not the ghost person?

Mu Fei glanced at Lin Cao suspiciously, Lin Cao didn't react at all, and was holding vegetables for Lin Ziyuan with concern, and said in his mouth: "Ziyuan, you are not in good health, take this tonic." ”

A loving couple.

"Dead grass, it's really fun."

Mu Fei shook his head helplessly, continued to bury his head in eating, and suddenly remembered that he didn't know where to stay alone, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty: "The master doesn't know what's going on, we are eating and drinking spicy here, it's hard for him to guard in the deep mountains and old forests." ”

During the banquet, the glass was changed, and it was very lively, and even Mu Fei was coaxed by Lin Qingguo to drink two glasses of liquor.

Lin Xiaomeng saw that Mu Fei was forced to drink by Lin Qingguo's laughter, and he was about to go crazy at that time, who knew that Mu Fei took a sip of the wine glass, and then said without changing his face: "I'll have another drink, although I'm still a student, I shouldn't be able to drink, but everyone is happy today, I'll drink these two glasses, and I can't drink anymore." ”

After speaking, he picked up the wine bottle and poured another glass, raised his head and drank it in one sip, without pretentiousness, and his face did not change after two glasses of wine.

The old man looked at the juniors messing around with a smile, and when he saw Mu Fei making two glasses in a row, he immediately smiled and said, "I didn't expect Mu Fei to have such a good amount of wine!" Qingguo, don't be too embarrassed, after all, you're still a student, haha. ”

Lin Xiaomeng looked at Mu Fei and was a little surprised: "I didn't expect you to drink quite well." ”

Mu Fei smiled: "Born." ”

After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere was in full swing, and the old man coughed softly and said, "It's rare for everyone to get together today, I'm very happy." ”

The crowd that was happily talking quieted down in unison.

Mu Fei's heart sank, looking at this atmosphere, tonight's drama is coming.

"I have three sons and two daughters." The old man said with the intention of drinking, "One of the things I like the most is this girl Banxia." After I handed over Wan Lin to Banxia, she really satisfied me and brought Wan Lin to a height that I once dared not imagine! Can...... Hey, now the life and death of Banxia's hard-working daughter is unknown, to be honest, I'm heartbroken! ”

The old man choked up as he spoke, and couldn't help crying bitterly, and said with tears: "I still remember the scene of digging herbs in the mountains with your grandfather, and this foundation is my father's life's work!" Banxia is gone, and our Wanlin is equivalent to missing half of the sky! I'm really sad these days, I can't sleep all night, thinking about whether my hard-working daughter is alive or dead now, thinking about the future of our Wanlin Group, if Wanlin really falls, I won't have the face to see my father when I get there! ”

During the banquet, everyone lamented, Lin Xiaomeng's uncles gathered around the old man to comfort him, Lin Ziyuan also came to the old man's side with red eyes, and said softly: "Dad, don't be too sad, my sister will be fine." ”

The old man held Lin Ziyuan's hand, shook his head and said: "Ziyuan, my little daughter, you have the best relationship with Banxia, I know that you are the most sad these days, you have not been in good health since you were a child, and you have suffered these days!" ”

Mu Fei's mobile phone came with a message at this time, and he secretly took it out to see it, and it turned out to be sent by Lin Cao: "Good performance, old drama bones!" ”

Mu Fei silently put away his mobile phone, thinking deeply.

The old man cried very sadly, and his sons also looked sad, and it stands to reason that this scene was very moving.

But they behaved too sadly, and Mu Fei always felt a little fake from the perspective of a bystander.

The old man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that you are here." Especially Wan Xiang, Banxia didn't look at the wrong person, if it weren't for you this time, we Wan Lin really don't know what would have happened! ”

Lin Wanxiang sighed and said, "Father, I am also a member of the Lin family, and these are what I should do." ”

"It's hard for you." The old man shook his head, his tone paused, and said to his three sons: "You have also made me very satisfied with your performance these days, these days in the absence of Banxia, let Wanlin's business not retreat but advance, it really makes me feel relieved!" Especially Su Mu, you are the boss, and your performance is impeccable, in the past six months, you have not only successfully opened up the Anji market, but also about to open up the Fasi market, good, good! ”

Lin Sumu wiped the corners of his eyes: "Father, this is what I should do, I can't always let Wan Xiang bear the pressure alone, and we, the sons who don't make it, also have to worry about Wan Lin!" ”

"Wan Xiang, you've been working too hard these days." The old man sighed and said, "Wanlin's matter, let Su Mu and the three of them help you share some of it, and in the future, Su Mu will handle the affairs of import and export trade, and you can spare some energy to deal with the domestic market." ”

Lin Sumu and the three of them just wanted to speak when they heard this, but Lin Wanxiang had already said: "What my father said is that I have been too tired recently, I really can't imagine that I had to deal with so many things by myself before Banxia, it feels incredible to think about it!" ”

The old man and Lin Sumu showed a look of surprise for a moment, and then their faces turned ecstatic, but this expression also flashed, and they returned to deep pain again.

"Yes, Wanlin is too big, how can one person carry it? It's also embarrassing for half a summer! The old man took the opportunity to say, "Second, third, you also have to learn Sumu, and the domestic southern market will be handed over to the two of you in the future!" Let Wan Xiang concentrate on our business in Akiyama City, after all, our roots are here, and Akiyama City is the most important! ”

Lin Wanxiang nodded and said, "I also think it's very good to make this arrangement, everything is up to my father." ”

There was silence at the banquet.

Mu Fei saw Lin Wenjing, Lin Qingdai, and Lin Qingguo have incredible looks on their faces; Lin Sumu and the three of them were full of surprise on their faces, and the ecstasy could not be concealed; The old man looked calm, but this calmness was too calm, so that he completely forgot the grief he had maintained before, and said: "Then tomorrow you will handle the handover, and quickly settle this matter." ”

Lin Xiaomeng's eyebrows were full of disgust, and she whispered to Mu Fei: "Is it disgusting to watch?" ”

Mu Fei shook his head.

Lin Xiaomeng whispered: "Yes, I'm almost sick to death!" ”

Mu Fei was speechless.

Everyone returned to their seats and continued the dinner.

After that, there were many fewer words, everyone had their own thoughts, and finally the family dinner ended in a quiet atmosphere.

During this period, Lin Wanxiang kept his head down, whispering to the old man from time to time, and never looked at Mu Fei and Lin Xiaomeng again.

The old man was slightly drunk and said, "It's not too early." ”

Lin Wanxiang smiled and said, "Yes, I'll go back first, and I'll come to visit my father another day." ”

Everyone couldn't wait to get up and walked to the door.

Lin Sumu said: "Wan Xiang, let's go to the company tomorrow and explain the matter." ”

"I'm sorry for you, I'll see you tomorrow." Lin Wanxiang got into the car as he spoke, and the three Lin Sumu brothers sent each other off enthusiastically all the way, and no one noticed that Lin Cao was holding Lin Ziyuan and approaching Lin Wanxiang's car.

Lin Wanxiang left, and the three brothers of Lin Sumu immediately gathered around the old man, and the old man also looked serious, and several people entered the old house and closed the door, not knowing what they were talking about.

Lin Wenjing, Lin Qingguo, and other juniors also gathered together to discuss something.

No one came to say a word to Lin Xiaomeng or look at her.

Except for Lin Ziyuan.

Lin Ziyuan was hugged by Lin Cao, walked over from the corner, and greeted her cordially: "Classmate Mu Fei, Xiaomeng and you have a good relationship, I hope you enlighten her, don't hide at home alone, you still have to go to school." ”

Mu Fei nodded yes, Lin Xiaomeng rolled her eyes, and said, "Auntie, don't worry about my business!" I'm measured! ”

Lin Ziyuan looked at Lin Xiaomeng with a sad face: "This kid ......"

Lin Cao said softly: "Ziyuan, I'll send you back to your room to rest, it's not too early, and I have to go back to school." ”

Lin Ziyuan said: "Well, okay. Xiaomeng, what should you do? Do you want to talk to your dad and them later? ”

Lin Xiaomeng shook her head and said, "No, I'll go home directly." Auntie, your face is not very good, are you too tired? ”

Lin Ziyuan sighed lightly and said, "I'm a little tired, but don't worry." Either I'll let Lin Cao drive you, he lives in the university in the city, and happens to be passing by your house. ”

"Drive!" Mu Fei couldn't help but blurt out, when will this guy Dacao drive?

Lin Ziyuan looked at Mu Fei who exclaimed with a confused expression, and that look made Mu Fei a little embarrassed, and immediately changed his words and said, "Then it's troublesome for you." ”

While speaking, a white car stopped beside Mu Fei, and Lin Cao sat in the cab and said, "Let's go." ”

A few people got into the car and sent Lin Ziyuan back to the house first, and Lin Cao said softly at the door: "I'll pick you up from work tomorrow." ”

Lin Ziyuan said: "No need, I'll let the driver send me tomorrow." ”

Lin Cao shook his head, stepped forward and took Lin Ziyuan's hand, and looked at Lin Ziyuan dotingly: "I don't have class tomorrow morning, let me pick you up." ”

Lin Ziyuan's face was slightly red, and she pushed Lin Cao away and said, "The children are still waiting for you in the car." Then tomorrow is waiting for you. ”

Lin Cao hummed and said goodnight.

Mu Fei sat in the car, bored waiting.

Lin Xiaomeng on the side was furious, muttering: "This dead little white face, why did my aunt drive the car for him!" ”

Mu Fei suddenly realized, no wonder he, the poor ghost boss, suddenly became a car owner: "This is your aunt's car......"

Lin Xiaomeng said hatefully: "That's right! ”

The car door opened, Lin Cao sat in the driver's seat, and smiled at the two people in the back row: "I've been waiting for a long time, where is Xiaomeng's house?" I'll take you home. ”

There was no one around, and Lin Xiaomeng's anger was no longer hidden, and the girl scolded coquettishly: "Little white face, don't think crookedly about my aunt!" ”

"Oh, hey, what did Xiao Meng say, Ziyuan and I really love each other, don't you bless us as a junior?"

The car started and drove out of the park-like gate of the Lin family's mansion.

Mu Fei said: "Dacao, that Lin Wanxiang ......"

Lin Xiaomeng corrected on the side: "It's Yuan Wanxiang!" ”

Mu Fei changed his words: "Yes, yes, that Yuan Wanxiang doesn't seem to be a ghost person?" ”

Lin Cao whistled and said, "Really? ”

"I can't see that he has a ghost on him......"

Lin Cao said: "The eyesight is good, and there is indeed no trace of ghostly energy." ”

Mu Fei was puzzled and asked, "Then we got the wrong person?" ”

"Mu Fei, do you know the Shadow Warrior?"

Hearing Lin Cao's words, Mu Fei shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

"Hee-hee." Lin Cao smiled mysteriously, "If my guess is correct...... There will be a conclusion in the evening! Genius hacker girl, it's your turn to behave! ”

Lin Xiaomeng was confused, and after thinking about it, she stopped talking.

Mu Fei looked at Lin Cao curiously and asked, "By the way, Dacao, when did you get your driver's license?" ”

"How can I have a driver's license!" Lin Cao laughed, "I didn't have an ID card when I came down from the mountain, how could I go to get a driver's license!" ”

"What!"

On the deserted suburban avenue, there were two exclamations, Mu Fei and Lin Xiaomeng looked at Lin Cao with fearless expressions on their faces, and felt that it seemed very dangerous to sit in this car.

"Oh, don't make any noise, don't make any more noise, go into the ditch again! You can rest quietly, and you will have to work overtime in the evening! ”
