Chapter 10 : Unusual Lin Xiaowan, Speculations of Lin's Parents
At the same time, Lin Xiaowan had already returned to Zhongjiang Family Courtyard. Everyone residing here was either government officials or influential figures in Zhongjiang.
Lin Xiaowan had been thinking about the events of the day all the way back. Although not many things happened, the impact on her worldview was significant, especially considering Su Lin's actions. It gave her an entirely new understanding of Su Lin as a person.
Seeing Lin Xiaowan enter the door, Lin Guoqiang put down the newspaper in his hand and greeted with a smile, "Xiaowan, you're back. How was school today?"
"...."
Seeing Lin Xiaowan absentmindedly heading towards the bedroom, Lin Guoqiang and Wang Xiaoqian exchanged glances. "What's going on? Why does Xiaowan seem a little absent-minded today?"
Wang Xiaoqian looked at the closed door and pondered. After a while, she looked at Lin Guoqiang and said, "Old Lin, do you think our Xiaowan is in love?"
Lin Guoqiang jumped up from the chair, "What, Xiaowan is in love?!"
"Lower your voice; I'm just suspecting. Xiaowan is about to turn eighteen, the age of innocence and romance. Isn't it normal to have someone she likes at this age?" Wang Xiaoqian analyzed.
"Normal? How is it normal? Xiaowan is only seventeen, not yet eighteen. Even if she's eighteen, so what? Her main task now is to focus on her studies."
"Alright, why are you shouting so loudly? I just have a suspicion."
"Hmph~!! Don't let me find out who it is. If I find out, I'll whip him with a belt. "
"No way. Don't be in such a rush. What's the hurry? You quickly go to the kitchen and get the food; I'll call Xiaowan for dinner and inquire about the situation." Wang Xiaoqian twisted Lin Guoqiang's waist.
"Aiyo, wife, be gentle."
"...."
Wang Xiaoqian walked to Lin Xiaowan's door and knocked, "Xiaowan, can I come in?"
"Come in~!!"
Wang Xiaoqian opened the door and saw Lin Xiaowan holding a pen and staring at a book in a daze. She closed her eyes. It seemed that even if she wasn't in love, something must have happened.
"Xiaowan, what's going on? If you have something on your mind, do you want to tell Mom?" Xiaoqian took the initiative to ask.
"Mom, I'm fine."
'It's written all over your face.' Wang Xiaoqian didn't say it out loud. Instead, she tried to tempt her. "Don't worry, there's only the two of us here. You know how tight-lipped your mother is. If you have any problems, you can tell me. I can even give you some pointers."
Lin Xiaowan's heart stirred slightly, and she was about to blurt it out. But then she remembered what she promised Su Lin. She already broke the rules by telling Xia Shiyu. If she told her mom, then her promise would be like a fart.
Lin Xiaowan shook her head. "Mom, I'm just a little annoyed. I'm fine."
"Is that so? Then get ready and come out for dinner."
Lin Xiaowan nodded, but her brows were still furrowed. She urgently needed to find someone to vent her frustrations about what had happened today, but she couldn't say anything. She was very depressed.
Wang Xiaoqian's face sank as she knew her daughter very well. If it wasn't for something big, she wouldn't have become like this.
In the past, whenever something happened to Lin Xiaowan in school, she only needed to induce her daughter a little, and her daughter would tell her everything.
However, it was different today. Her inductions had no effect at all. It seemed that she was either in a relationship or something more important than a relationship had happened.
Wang Xiaoqian left the room and quickly walked to the kitchen.
"Your daughter has grown up and knows how to hide things. She hides everything in her heart and doesn't tell me," Wang Xiaoqian said angrily with some grievance in her tone.
Lin Guoqiang saw that Wang Xiaoqian was rejected. He was first amused, then he said seriously, "You didn't get a single word out of her?"
"I didn't even get to ask before I was kicked out."
"Hiss!! This girl can't really be in a relationship, right?"
"Should we ask?"
Lin Guoqiang nodded. "Of course, we definitely have to ask, but not right now. After dinner, I'll call Mr. Wang and ask. Presumably, even if he doesn't know what happened, he would know some inside information."
"Old Lin, what if our Xiaowan is really in a relationship?"
"What to do? I know what to do. Either forcibly separate them, or use tricks, or let it develop naturally."
"Regardless, letting it develop naturally won't work. Xiaowan is only eighteen; what does she understand about love? She's definitely being deceived." Lin Guoqiang gritted his teeth.
Wang Xiaoqian nodded with a flicker in her eyes. If someone really deceived her daughter she would definitely make that person suffer.
On the other hand, Su Lin was unaware that Lin Xiaowan's slight abnormality had alarmed her parents. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care. With Lin Xiaowan's parent's ability, it was really impossible to hide something if they wanted to investigate.
"Brother Lin, I collected 120 more necklaces. Should I send them to you now?"
Su Lin nodded. "Send them all."
"Yang, didn't I give you a few thousand yuan? If you are interested, you can collect some yourself. Then we can make money together." Su Lin reminded.
"Make money? Brother Lin, you mean these necklaces will increase in price?" Chen Yang exclaimed.
"Of course, why would I hoard them if they won't increase?"
"But how do you know about this?" Chen Yang was intrigued, although worried about what if the necklaces didn't increase in price, leading to a loss.
He wasn't as rich as Su Lin, who could take hundreds of thousands of yuan without worrying about losing all of it. He only had a few thousand yuan, and he had to bear all the expenses of his family.
"I definitely have my channels. Later, you find more people. Remember what I told you. Understand?" Su Lin.
Chen Yang nodded. "Brother Lin, don't worry. I remember what you told me to do. I just don't understand why you let them register so many accounts."
Su Lin smiled mysteriously and said, "You will know when the time comes."
"Okay!"
Seeing that Su Lin didn't ask more, Chen Yang didn't continue to ask. Su Lin could tell him these things if he wanted to, but if he didn't want to, he wouldn't ask more.
Su Lin patted Chen Yang's shoulder and said, "I know you can't afford to lose. Don't you still have me? I'll cover for you."
Chen Yang was instantly tempted, but in the end, he shook his head. "Brother Lin, this business is yours. Although I don't know why you think this necklace can make money, since you are so sure, I think it can really make money."
"I've taken so much money from you. I can't steal your business anymore. So I'd better not."
Su Lin laughed. Although he had guessed that Chen Yang would refuse, he didn't expect it to be for this reason.
"Okay, you can go back now. Your family is waiting for you to go back for dinner."
"Yeah!!"
Su Lin patted Chen Yang's shoulder and walked out of the room.
