Chapter 363: Warriors of the Kingdom
If the city of the East China Sea gives people the feeling of petty bourgeoisie, and the city of Chang'an gives people the feeling of being heavy, then the city of Xishu gives people the feeling of laziness.
This is a leisure city with a developed economy and a slow pace of life, it is not as fierce as other big cities, everyone seems to be very content, and is more willing to enjoy life comfortably.
No wonder so many people come and don't want to leave.
How lucky the people who live in this city are.
However, the city's development speed is not slow, and the total economic output ranks among the top five in the whole federation, so there are many rich people here, and there are many mansions and rich areas.
Lushan Lulu Lake, the southernmost end of Tianfu Avenue in Xishu, is a newly wealthy area in Xishu, and almost all of them are high-end villa communities, such as the villa where Lin Xi's grandpa and grandmother live, which is worth hundreds of millions.
All villas are located on islands in the middle of the lake, and each villa has a private jetty and the possibility of driving a yacht home.
Lin Xi's grandfather moved here a few years ago, and her grandfather no longer cares about trivial matters, and her grandmother concentrates on research, so she moved here because she didn't want to be disturbed.
Although today is grandma's birthday, grandma doesn't want to put on a banquet too highly, and only calls the closest children and grandchildren to come back and be lively.
Early in the morning, the villa was already crowded with people, Lin Xi's two uncles and aunts and their children had returned, Lin Xi was the youngest junior on her grandfather's side, and the most favored.
It seems that this is the case for the youngest children.
The design of this villa is very modern, with irregular geometries and plenty of floor-to-ceiling windows to blend in with the surrounding natural environment as much as possible.
It can be seen that Grandma and Grandpa Lin Xi are not the kind of conservative and old-fashioned people, and they are very willing to take the initiative to contact new things.
Lin Xi's grandfather and grandmother are the opposite, they prefer to live in the Lin family's old mansion at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, as if this can show their unique identity.
When Lin Xi accompanied his parents to the villa, everyone else got up and greeted them warmly, who made the Lin family a wealthy family in the southwest, and which of these relatives did not rely on the Lin family?
Lin Xi's father's name is Lin Wang, and his height of one meter eight looks extraordinary, quite calm and sophisticated, but he doesn't seem to be very enthusiastic in the face of Lin Xi's uncle and aunt, and he greets him with a calm face.
He is the most capable successor of the Lin family, and the old man Lin also values him the most, and he is responsible for most of the Lin family's business now, so whether it is the Lin family or Lin Xi's uncle and aunt, everyone has to take the initiative to slap him.
Lin Xi's mother's name is Ning Qing, although she is in her forties, she still has charm, she looks quite intellectual in professional clothes, and she is currently the head of the largest law firm in the southwest region, which is not only because of the relationship between Lin Xi's grandmother, but more importantly, because of the help of the Lin family in the back.
Lin Xi's personality followed her mother, and Ning Qing was obviously relatively cold, and asked casually, "What about the old man and the old lady?"
"The old man went out to play chess, and the old lady was on the phone upstairs, and you know that she has endless calls every year today." Lin Xi's little uncle Ning Jianyi replied with a hippie smile, he is a representative of the Ning family's mud that can't support the wall, and Lin Xi's parents wiped his butt a lot.
Ning Qing said lightly, "You guys talk first, I'll go upstairs to see the old lady."
In the kitchen, the two aunts and aunts were staring at the birthday banquet at noon, although it was only three tables of people, but they still invited the chef of the Jin Jiang Hotel to come over and take charge of the cooking, who made the old man and the old lady have a soft spot for the Jin Jiang Hotel?
Ning Jianyi sneakily pulled Lin Wang out and said, "Brother-in-law, you come out, I'll tell you something trivial."
Lin Wang has a little headache, this brother-in-law is not a fuel-efficient lamp, either he owes gambling debts or sleeps with someone's daughter-in-law, I really don't know how the old man and the old lady taught such a son?
Lin Xi looked at his uncle Ning Jianhe on the sofa and greeted, "Uncle, aren't you going abroad? Coming back so soon?"
"Your grandma's birthday, it's rare that the house is so lively, can I not rush back?" Ning Jianhe, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, hehe
said with a smile, he is the only big man in the Ning family in the system, and now he is the leader of a department in Shuzhou Prefecture, it depends on whether he can be promoted to another level before retirement.
At this time, Ning Jianhe asked a middle-aged man with glasses who was a little sickly pale next to him, "Lin Xi, how is it at Chang'an University?" Are you in love?"
"Uncle, you are making fun of me again, I promised my parents not to fall in love in college." Lin Xi said obediently.
This middle-aged man is her uncle-in-law Huang Maoxue, a phoenix man with no background, but his ability is outstanding, if it weren't for the uncle in the system, and the uncle didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, he wouldn't have become the head of the Ning family company.
Huang Maoxue shook his head and sighed bitterly: "Alas, your parents are too rigid, when will you fall in love if you don't fall in love in college?"
Ning Jianhe glanced at Huang Maoxue and reminded kindly: "Maoxue, don't say this in front of Lin Wang and Ning Qing, the Lin family has too many rules."
"Am I just whining?" Huang Maoxue said with a smile.
Ning Jianhe waved his hand and said, "Your cousin and cousin are all downstairs, you go and play with them."
Lin Xi chuckled and said, "I'll go see Grandma first."
After speaking, he went upstairs with the box, and Ning Jianhe didn't forget to mutter: "Lin Xi, this kid still has a heart, and he prepares gifts for the old lady every year, unlike our children, who know that the old lady is troublesome."
Lin Xi had just gone upstairs, and Ning Qing happened to come out of the study, Lin Xi asked casually, "Grandma is in the study?"
"Well, just finished talking to his proud disciple on the phone." Ning Qing said in a deep voice, and then stepped on his high heels and went downstairs.
Lin Xi slowly walked into the study with the gift, deliberately scareless, "Grandma."
In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, an old lady wearing a cheongsam with silver hair but still outstanding temperament was bathed in the sun, she covered her chest and said, "Oh, you dead girl, grandma's heart attack is about to be scared out of you."
Lin Xi put down the gift and rushed over and hugged the old lady directly, "Grandma, you are so beautiful today."
"My little baby can talk, and grandma said to go down to you." Although her face was thin and wrinkled, the old lady was still so delicate and patted her granddaughter's shoulder dotingly.
Lin Xi said coquettishly, "Grandma, I miss you so much."
"Isn't Grandma here, you little girl." The old lady hooked the tip of her granddaughter's nose and smiled kindly.
Lin Xi's smile became brighter and brighter, and then he helped his grandmother sit on the sofa.
The old lady frowned when she saw the box on the table and said, "You girl, grandma said that you don't need to prepare gifts, why did you prepare gifts again?"
Lin Xi pouted and stared at the old lady and said, "Grandma, this is not the gift I prepared for you, guess who gave you the gift?"
"Who's giving the gift, you have to let me guess?" The old lady said suspiciously.
Lin Xijiao said angrily, "Grandma, guess quickly, you will never guess."
The old lady stared at her granddaughter and looked at it, and from the smile on her face and the smugness in her eyes, she quickly guessed the answer, who let her know this granddaughter better than anyone else?
"You're in love, aren't you?" The old lady asked in a whisper.
Lin Xi's face was full of shock and said, "Grandma, why did you guess it right at once."
This made Lin Xi, who originally wanted to sell Guan Zi, lose her sense of accomplishment in an instant, grandma didn't expect it to be too powerful, but she forgot that her grandma was Taishan Beidou in the legal world, and that brain was not comparable to ordinary people.
"You, you, what the little brain thinks, I will know your grandma as soon as I guess." The old lady said disapprerovingly.
Lin Xi muttered, "Grandma, you're so boring."
"Tell grandma what that boy looks like, is he handsome or not?" The old lady was very concerned, just as Lin Xi said to Su Qin.
When he said this, he didn't forget to glance outside the study and said, "Your parents must not know, right?"
Lin Xi said truthfully: "How dare I tell them, grandma, you must keep it secret, I will only tell you secretly."
"Don't you know who Grandma is
?」 The old lady said in a deep voice.
Lin Xi didn't rush to introduce Su Qin, but took the box and said, "Grandma, let's talk about him later, let's take a look at the gift he prepared for you first, he said that he personally wrote a piece of writing for you, I don't know how to write it, don't dislike it if it's not good-looking."
The old lady sighed with emotion: "This child is already very kind to take the initiative to prepare a gift for me, is grandma the kind of person who doesn't know what to do?"
Lin Xi smiled and nodded, "Grandma, you are the best."
After speaking, he opened the box nervously, and slowly took out the from it, although Su Qin was full of confidence on the phone, but Lin Xi really didn't have much confidence in Su Qin's words.
At this time, Lin Xi spread the scroll on the ground unhurriedly.
When this character was completely opened, I saw four big characters written on the high-quality rice paper: Guoshi Wushuang.
In an instant, the majestic breath of these four big characters came to the face, and the font was vigorous and powerful, which was not a word that ordinary people could write at all, and even some so-called masters who sold their fame and reputation were ashamed of themselves.
The old lady was directly stunned, and subconsciously said, "Good words."
