In the evening, Lin Ruoxi got off work and returned to the villa. As soon as she entered the villa, she saw an unfamiliar young girl wearing a pair of fluffy slippers walking out of the kitchen with a pot of steaming braised vermicelli. It was Hui Lin.
Hui Lin put down the pot of vermicelli and saw Lin Ruoxi standing at the door.
Both of them had a strange feeling when they looked at each other. Although it was the first time they met, they felt a sense of familiarity and even … intimacy.
"Sis … Sis, you're back …" Hui Lin opened her mouth almost instinctively and said weakly.
Lin Ruoxi thought for a while and asked, "You're … that guy's distant cousin?"
Hui Lin was a little nervous and hesitated for a while. Then she remembered that Yang Cheng had asked her to enter the house as his cousin, so she nodded and said, "Yes."
Lin Ruoxi was slightly surprised in her heart. Could it be that she doesn't know that I'm married to Yang Chen? If she knows, she should call me 'sister-in-law' or something like that. Although I don't care about it, but this girl called me 'elder sister'. Lin Ruoxi didn't know why, but she felt especially close in her heart.
"Since you're here, stay here. If you need anything, just let me know." Lin Ruoxi didn't have a bad impression of such a girl. She was so obedient and helpful on her first day. Even if she was a relative of Yang Cheng, that "evil man", Lin Ruoxi had to accept it.
Yang Chen took a shower upstairs and saw that Lin Ruoxi and Huilin had already sat down and were ready to eat, looking very natural and amiable. He muttered in his heart. Although he didn't want to admit it, they didn't know each other since childhood, but the existence of blood ties was difficult to erase after all. These two women sitting together were so cold and quiet, even their temperaments were very similar, but Lin Ruoxi was a little colder.
When Lin Ruoxi saw Yang Cheng, she felt uncomfortable in her heart. She simply pretended that she didn't see him. She silently scooped the rice and ate by herself.
Yang Cheng was not surprised. He sat beside Hui Lin and said to Hui Lin, "Don't stand on ceremony. Eat more. You're so skinny. If you get even skinnier the next time you go back, your grandma will definitely think that I'm mistreating you. She will definitely come and kill me."
"Grandma doesn't kill people indiscriminately," Hui Lin defended herself.
Yang Cheng coughed twice and signaled Hui Lin with his eyes not to say anything. How could a girl her age say something like 'killing indiscriminately'?
Sure enough, Lin Ruoxi looked at the two of them with a strange expression, as if suspecting that she had misheard.
"Of course your grandma wouldn't kill people. Shouldn't she go to jail for killing people?" Yang Cheng helped Hui Lin cover it up.
Hui Lin realized that she had said something wrong. She looked at Lin Ruoxi with her dark eyes and felt relieved.
Halfway through the meal, Lin Ruoxi asked casually, "What's your name?"
Hui Lin was a little nervous. She said timidly, "Hui Lin …"
Yang Cheng heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this girl didn't stupidly say that her common name was' Hui Lin '.
"Hui Lin …" Lin Ruoxi frowned. Although she felt that the name was a little strange, she didn't think too much about it. "How long are you staying here? Are you here for work?"
Yang Cheng wanted to help Hui Lin answer 'no', but unexpectedly, Hui Lin suddenly nodded.
"That's right. Sister, can you help me find a job?" Hui Lin looked at Lin Ruoxi expectantly.
Yang Cheng turned around abruptly and was completely dumbfounded. This girl was still looking for a job in Zhonghai?! She really wasn't going back to Emei?
Lin Ruoxi didn't think too much about it. In her opinion, a girl like Hui Lin should be of working age and had come all the way to Yang Cheng. Although Lin Ruoxi found it strange that Yang Chen, who had been abroad for a long time and had such a complicated background, still had relatives, Hui Lin looked weak and had a pure personality. Lin Ruoxi thought that she should be an ordinary girl. Finding a job and finding a man was probably what the elders in the family expected of her.
It had to be said that because Yang Cheng said that Hui Lin was his distant cousin, Lin Ruoxi was quite concerned. After all, since they knew each other, Yang Cheng didn't have any relatives or friends. It was rare for a girl to come to Lin Ruoxi, and she was quite pleasing to the eye. Therefore, Lin Ruoxi was willing to help her.
"Finding a job depends on what you are good at. Have you graduated from university?" Lin Ruoxi asked.
Yang Cheng laughed inwardly. This girl had been living with her grandmother in Shu Mountain since she was young. How could she have the chance to go to university? She was probably taught by a one-to-one private tutor since she was young. After all, the Lin family had the resources to train their only granddaughter.
But unexpectedly, Hui Lin suddenly nodded and blinked her bright eyes. She said seriously, "I have a university diploma. I'll show it to my sister."
After saying that, she didn't wait for Yang Cheng to say anything. She put down the bowl and chopsticks and ran upstairs in a hurry.
Yang Cheng was confused. Why was it completely different from what he had imagined?! How could this little nun have a university diploma?!
Seeing that Yang Cheng didn't believe her, Lin Ruoxi frowned and said, "Don't you know whether your cousin graduated from university or not? What kind of brother are you? "
"Uh … I really don't know." Yang Cheng said with a bitter face.
Lin Ruoxi snorted coldly and didn't give Yang Cheng any face. "Fortunately, I'm here. Otherwise, such an innocent girl would definitely be ruined by you."
Yang Cheng curled his lips. He felt a little upset. Didn't they agree to divorce in half a year? Even if she found out that he was having an affair, they had already talked about it a long time ago. He didn't hide it from her on purpose. Did this woman have to be so unhappy with him? Moreover, the two of them had never made any vows of eternal love. When they got married, they had said that they wouldn't interfere with each other's private life. He couldn't even be considered as betrayal. However, Yang Cheng also knew that this was not the time to annoy Lin Ruoxi, so he just ate without saying a word.
After a while, Hui Lin, who was wearing loose white home clothes, trotted down from upstairs like a ball of white cotton. She put a stack of red certificates and some unknown books in front of Lin Ruoxi. She said shyly, "These are my diplomas and certificates. Sister, you can have a look."
Lin Ruoxi didn't expect Hui Lin to have so many things. She casually took a look and her expression became a little interesting.
She looked up and down at Hui Lin in confusion. Hui Lin's face looked like it was about to drip blood.
Mother Wang advised, "Miss, don't look at Miss Hui Lin like that. Look at how embarrassed she is."
Lin Ruoxi retracted her gaze and sighed softly, "I didn't mean to look at you that way. I'm just surprised. I didn't expect you to have already gotten two master's degrees from Tsinghua University at such a young age."
Yang Cheng, who had just drunk a mouthful of hot soup, almost spat it out. He looked up and took a closer look at the certificates in Lin Ruoxi's hands. Wasn't that right?!
It seemed like Abbess Yun Miao had used her connections to get all sorts of identification and education certificates for her granddaughter.
Even though Lin Ruoxi found it strange, she didn't say anything since she was holding a genuine diploma and certificates in her hands. She flipped through them again, and her expression became even weirder. She asked, "You're also the grand prize winner of the National Pipa Performance Competition and the Guqin Performance Competition?"
Among the pile of certificates in Hui Lin's hands, there were two certificates that were the grand prize winners of the National Pipa Performance Competition and the Guqin Performance Competition!
Hui Lin didn't stay silent this time. She smiled sweetly and said, "Yes, I got them when I was seventeen. Grandma brought me to the competition."
These two certificates were genuine. After all, Abbess Yun Miao had taught her granddaughter in the traditional way. Other than martial arts, Hui Lin was also proficient in the four arts.
However, other than special times like competitions, Hui Lin spent most of her time studying on the mountain.
Following that, Lin Ruoxi's expression became more and more interesting. Among the pile of documents in Hui Lin's hands, there were 'First Prize of the Third Hua Xia Sword Dance Competition', 'First Prize of the Second National Youth Go Competition', 'Honorary Member of the Hua Xia Calligraphy Association', 'Honorary Member of the Hua Xia Artists Association', 'Gold Medal of the Seventh National Youth Dance Competition' …
In the end, when Lin Ruoxi looked back at the two Master's Diplomas from Tsinghua University in Economics and Advertising Media, she felt that they were nothing. Even someone as proud as Lin Ruoxi felt ashamed of the girl in front of her. How much power was hidden in her petite body for her to be able to do so many things at once!
Seeing that Lin Ruoxi wasn't saying anything, Hui Lin was a little worried and asked, "Sister Lin, is it not enough? I … I still have a few certificates, but they're all second place. Should I bring them over too?"
