Chapter 100: Foolish Dreams
"Aunt Lin, do you like to eat bitter gourd very much?" Although the bitter gourd is a good thing, Li Xiaohan is always unaccustomed to the bitter taste.
Mrs. Lin didn't nod or shake her head, she smiled and said: "I don't like it, but I'm used to this taste, I used to like it as a man, I didn't like it, I threw the bitter gourd in his bowl every time I ate, and then he was gone, and I didn't have to pick it, so I tried to eat this thing, and now it's not right to say that I don't like it, it's just a little inseparable......"
Li Xiaohan's hand paused, "Aunt Lin, you ......"
"Don't talk about that, it's been so long, there's not much point in mentioning it again...... Young lady, drink some of this soup, I stewed it for a long time just now, I'll help you serve a bowl. ”
Li Xiaohan sighed, she wanted to say, Aunt Lin, if you get married, maybe your life will be better, but she knows that if she could do this, Aunt Lin would have done it a long time ago, but she has always insisted, and I am afraid that her heart has already gone with that man.
After eating, Li Xiaohan leaned on the sofa and lay down for a while, ready to go upstairs to prepare the design draft. At this time, the doorbell rang at the gate of the compound, and Aunt Lin walked out of the room, looked at the person from the video window, and let the person in.
"Xiao Liu, why are you?" It was the orderly next to Mrs. Ling, who turned out to be arranged for her by Old Man Ling.
If there is nothing to do, Aunt Lin always thinks that something will happen, Liu Mingsheng is also very polite when he sees her, and he is also a junior in the end, so he smiled slightly and said: "Aunt Lin, it was the old lady who asked me to come over and take Miss Li over." ”
Take the young lady over? Mrs. Lin's expression was a little complicated, the young master was not at home at this time, why did she take people away? She also knew that the old lady had an opinion about this person in the family, and it was precisely because of this that something must have happened to call the person back.
"Do you know what's so urgent?"
Liu Mingsheng scratched his head, "I don't know about this, the old lady didn't say anything, just asked me to come over to get someone, is Miss Li at home now?" ”
Obviously, it can be solved with a phone call, but let people come to the door to pick up people, even if Mrs. Lin doesn't know what is going on, she can guess that something is wrong...... The meaning of this is already very clear, if the young lady is at home, even if she doesn't want to go, Liu Mingsheng will forcibly take people away!
The hateful thing is that the young master is not at home, and she can't stop anyone if she wants to.
"You wait a minute, the young lady should sleep upstairs, I'll help you go up and call it." It is not unreasonable for Mrs. Lin to say this, Liu Mingsheng is a man, and there are female dependents sleeping above, so it is definitely not good to break in recklessly.
As soon as Liu Mingsheng heard this, he didn't object, so he stood on the edge of the sofa and waited. Obviously, he can't get anyone, and he won't go.
Mrs. Lin sighed, and when she got upstairs, she didn't go to the bedroom, but dialed the young master's phone in front of the bedroom door, she only hoped that the young master would answer the phone at this time!
However, at this time, Ling Jinyuan was in a meeting in the brigade, and her mobile phone had been turned off before entering the conference room, so no matter how much Mrs. Lin couldn't get through no matter how much she called one by one, even if she had no way, it would be gone.
"Aunt Lin, what's going on?" Li Xiaohan locked herself in the bedroom to conceive the sketch, usually Aunt Lin would never go upstairs to disturb her if she had nothing to do, she must have something to discuss with her when she ran up so anxiously.
Old Man Lin's usual calmness seemed to be broken, and he sighed: "There is someone downstairs, it is from the old lady's side." I don't know what's going on over there, so I'll let someone lead you there. ”
Take her over?
To say that Mrs. Ling did pick a good time, because the military exercise is imminent, although the major military regions have not yet closed training, but they have begun to get nervous, the conference will be continuous, and the youngest son and husband will not have time at this time.
Li Xiaohan frowned, her expression didn't change much, she pretended to be calm, and squeezed out a faint smile: "Then I'll clean up, and I'll go with him later, don't let you wait over there for a long time." ”
It would be a lie to say that she was not nervous, at Ling Sheng's engagement banquet before, she had learned the poisonous tongue and ruthlessness of Old Madam Ling, but at this time, everyone had already come to invite her, if she didn't go, she would definitely fall into the mouth, not to mention that the soldiers would block the water and cover the earth, and it was not a way for her to hide like this.
"Young lady, why don't I go with you, even if there is anything, I can help you......" The more calm Mrs. Lin looked at her, the more anxious she became. If she really treated the young master as her own son before, then for the young lady, she already regarded her as a daughter or daughter-in-law, and the relationship was naturally not a fake.
Li Xiaohan shook his head: "Aunt Lin, you're at home, it's okay." Even if Old Madam Ling doesn't like me anymore, she won't really do anything to me, if you go and speak for me, she may really be a monster for me. ”
"Why?"
Li Xiaohan stuck out his tongue, "It's only been a year since I came to this house, and I can let Aunt Lin go to the soup for me, so in her eyes, I must be a monster who can bewitch people's hearts......"
Mrs. Lin wanted to laugh, but she was still not at ease in her heart, and muttered to herself: "Even if it is really a monster, it is also a monster that both the young master and I like...... It's not heinous. ”
Next, Li Xiaohan changed her clothes, she dressed more casually when she was at home, but since she was going to see Old Madam Ling, if she dressed like this, she might be said to be disrespecting her elders. So she changed into a slightly serious dress, put on a light makeup, and then went downstairs with her handbag.
Liu Mingsheng downstairs waited for only a quarter of an hour, and he didn't think he had waited long, and when he saw someone coming down, he was also very satisfied. His eyes swept over, and he secretly glanced at the third master's daughter-in-law several times.
The Ling family is rumored that the third master's daughter-in-law must be some kind of goblin change, otherwise how could the third master, who has never been close to women, be so alienated from his family for a woman, the old lady and the old man are opposed, and he is also determined to be with this woman.
However, in Liu Mingsheng's opinion, this woman is indeed not the same as the legend, it is not enough to say that she is charming or anything, and she is not gorgeous, at most she is delicate and beautiful, but she is not ostentatious but very attractive.
Seeing this, he actually understood Ling Sanye a little.
But what his task was, he still remembered it from beginning to end, he got up from the sofa, walked over and smiled faintly: "Miss Li, I'm Liu Mingsheng, the old lady asked me to come and pick you up." ”
In the mouths of the orderlies and guards on the Ling family's side, as well as a cadre of servants and housekeepers, even if this woman is the wife of the third master, she has not been recognized by the old man, and she can only be Miss Li, not the third young lady.
Li Xiaohan didn't seem to hear his words clearly, and the smile on his face kept faint, "I'm ready, since there's nothing to do, let's go over directly." ”
Aunt Lin was a little worried in her eyes, and said secretly: "Young lady, don't worry, I will talk to him when the young master comes back." ”
It's just that the young master has been going out early and returning late for the past few days, and he won't come back until the evening, I'm afraid that even if he knows at that time, it won't make sense.
Li Xiaohan followed the man into the black Bentley, and the two of them in the car were speechless all the way, and after about half an hour, they arrived at the Ling family's mansion.
"Miss Li, it's here."
Li Xiaohan was here for the first time, Ling Sheng's engagement banquet was not held here before, and when she saw everything here, especially when she saw the armed guards outside the mansion, she was stunned, and there seemed to be some different emotions in her eyes.
"Miss Li, the old lady is waiting for you in the living room."
Mrs. Ling was sitting on the sofa sipping tea at this time, her expression was a little impatient, and she raised her eyes and swept the time: "Why is it so slow?" This woman's shelf is too big! ”
I waited almost an hour.
Li Qiulian was also sitting, but she was just sitting on the other side, she helped over to add some tea, and was about to interject a word of sarcasm, when she suddenly saw someone leading a woman over.
"Mom, the people are already here."
Old Madam Ling raised her head suddenly, the blue and white porcelain teacup was still in the palm of her hand, and a sharp gaze swept over, looking at the woman who was led over.
That's her! The third child who seduced him didn't even go back to his home much, and he would rather live outside than be with her! And now it's not just that, the woman is also involved with her grandson.
Old Madam Ling was still struggling before, whether Ling Sheng robbed the third woman, this is unruly! But the eldest daughter-in-law kept whispering in her ear, it was this woman who seduced, otherwise a big man would not have been tricked so quickly, she thought about it carefully, and it was not bad, but one was willing to fight and one was willing to suffer.
If this woman were honest, she would not have met Ling Sheng alone at all, and there would be no follow-up! If you want to say, you can only say that this woman is not a safe person!
Old Madam Ling pursed her lips and put down the cup lightly, but there was a lot of noise in the quiet living room, she squinted coldly, and a trace of impatience spread out on her lips: "Miss Li, this is the second time we have met!" ”
"Sit down, I have something I want to talk to you about today!"
No matter how bad Mrs. Ling's attitude is, she can only endure it, who calls her the "Ling family" and marries Ling Jinyuan, these things are all things she has to consider, even if these are not what she wants.
Li Xiaohan nodded, and her well-behaved appearance also softened her expression a little under Old Madam Ling's eyes.
"Actually, I wanted to call you over to talk about it a long time ago, and I saw that the third child was good to you, but I really wanted to know what your attitude was?"
Li Xiaohan was stunned at first, hooked his lips casually, and said with a smile: "The old lady asked me what kind of attitude I had?" But I don't think it's my attitude that matters, it's your attitude that matters! No matter what I think, you're going to let me separate from Ling Jinyuan, aren't you? ”
If she said that she wanted to be with Ling Jinyuan, it would be a fool's dream, and she would climb high! If she was not optimistic about this marriage, the old lady might think that she had other thoughts, so no matter what she said, she would not be able to get any benefit.
Old Madam Ling looked a little unhappy when she saw her throwing the topic to herself, but she didn't get angry, she stretched out her hand not to hit the smiling person, she also said: "You and the third child are not the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and I am not the Queen Mother, it's just that you are not suitable, you know it in your heart!" ”
Of course, Li Xiaohan knew in her heart, she knew better than anyone else, and she hesitated before getting the certificate. But the marriage is over, isn't it a bit far to say this?
"And what do you want me to do?"
Old Madam Ling didn't expect her to be so direct, and sneered: "Of course it's to leave him!" Without you, he can choose a woman who is a hundred times better than you, the daughters of the family in the capital can be chosen by him, he can choose a girl who is the right person with the Ling family, and he can be happier than being with you! What's more, he won't fall out with his family because of a woman! ”
