Lin Chu excitedly said to Yan Beicheng, "Doesn't it look like Ning Bai?"
Yan Beicheng casually glanced at the bag and gave a perfunctory "Mhm."
Then, his face darkened and he looked sullen.
Lin Chu ignored him and went to pay. When he came back, he saw that Yan Beicheng was still unhappy. Lin Chu didn't know what he was angry about, but he suddenly went crazy again.
She couldn't see his unhappy expression and said, "What did you buy for Ning Bai?"
Yan Beicheng glanced at her indifferently and pursed his lips. "An English dictionary."
Who asked him to memorize a page a day!
Lin Chu ignored him because of Yan Ningbai's birthday. She didn't even ask when his birthday was. Tomorrow was his birthday. Yan Beicheng hadn't said anything or hinted at it. He just wanted to wait for Lin Chu to surprise him. The closer it was, the more excited he was.
When he saw that Lin Chu didn't say anything, he thought that she was secretly preparing.
But today, Lin Chu still acted like he didn't know. This made Yan Beicheng furious.
How could Lin Chu not care about him!
All of his passwords contained Lin Chu's birthday!
Poor Yan Ningbai. He didn't even know that his nephew was venting his anger on him.
Lin Chu: "Uh …"
Yan Ningbai would cry if she received this on her birthday!
Lin Chu still had hope that Yan Beicheng was just joking. He didn't know why Yan Beicheng was sulking there. In the end, he took the new Pikachu bag he bought for Yan Ningbai and really brought her to the bookstore next door. He even bought the Oxford English-Chinese Advanced Bilingual Dictionary. It was a very thick book, and it would be no problem for Yan Ningbai to use as a pillow!
Lin Chu: "Uh …"
"It's his birthday once a year. You're giving him this. How much pressure is he under?" Just as Yan Beicheng was about to pay for the dictionary, Lin Chu tugged at his clothes and whispered, "Let him study hard.
Let him study hard. The whole family will be happy. " Yan Beicheng paid the money without hesitation. Looking at the thick and heavy dictionary, his mood became better.
Sacrificing him to make the whole family happy. It was worth it!
Lin Chu: "Uh …"
Ningbai, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I don't know what's wrong with your nephew.
While Lin Chu and Yan Beicheng were picking out gifts for Yan Ningbai, Yan Zhiqing returned to the old mansion.
She hesitantly walked to the old lady and said to the two elders with a red face, "Grandpa, grandma, yesterday … yesterday I was impulsive. Because of my mother, I didn't think before I spoke. I'm sorry. I … I really didn't mean what I said yesterday. I don't know what's going on. Only a fool would say those things. I didn't mean it. "
Seeing that the little girl was only 18 years old, she was usually quite proud. Now that she had lowered her pride to apologize, she was still shy. Her face turned red and she tugged at the corner of her clothes uneasily.
After all, she was her granddaughter. Old Madam Yan's heart softened. She touched her head and no longer cared about it. She asked Yan Zhiqing to go back to rest and not to think about what happened yesterday.
Yan Zhiqing nodded and returned to her bedroom with her head lowered. Only then did her gaze turn cold.
In the afternoon, a white BMW stopped in front of Lin's villa.
At the Lin family's house, the doorbell rang. Auntie Dong opened the door and was surprised to see the lady standing at the door. Her temperament was dignified and outstanding, and she looked much more noble than Su Changxin.
"May I ask who you are?" Auntie Dong asked in confusion.
Jiang Changdai smiled gently and politely. "Hello, I'm Jiang Changdai, Yan Beicheng's mother. I took the liberty to come here. May I know if Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin are at home?"
Of course, Auntie Dong knew Yan Beicheng. Even if she didn't know him before, she had heard Su Changxin and Lin Zhenghe talk about him recently. Sometimes when Lin Yuwen came back, she would talk about Lin Chu. Every time she scolded Lin Chu, she would say, "If it wasn't for Yan Beicheng," so Auntie Dong was very familiar with Yan Beicheng.
"Please wait a moment." Auntie Dong closed the door and went back to tell Lin Zhenghe and Su Changxin, "Sir, Mrs. Lin, there's a lady outside. She says she's Yan Beicheng's mother."
Lin Zhenghe and Su Changxin frowned and looked at each other. The two of them didn't know about the Yan family, and they didn't know that Yan Beicheng and Jiang Changdai didn't have any feelings for each other. Occasionally, they would find it strange with their friends in the circle. Why did the Yan family only hear about the two elders, Yan Huaian, and Yu Zi, and they often came out, but they had never seen Yan Beicheng's mother. They didn't even know what she looked like.
However, the two of them couldn't help but worry. Could it be that Yan Beicheng's mother came to take revenge on Lin Chu?
Based on the Yan family's attitude, they really treated Lin Chu as one of their own.
Most importantly, the Lin family was in a difficult situation now. The company was getting more and more difficult to support. Although it wasn't to the point of bankruptcy, business had dropped by 60% compared to before. Su Changxin was already starting to worry about bankruptcy.
Su Changxin was nervous, but he still asked Auntie Dong to invite Jiang Changdai in.
Auntie Dong politely invited Jiang Changdai in. Lin Zhenghe and Su Changxin didn't show it on their faces. They wanted to know why Jiang Changdai came.
Jiang Changdai had investigated Lin Chu before she came, so she obviously knew that Lin Chu didn't have a good relationship with the Lin family.
Adhering to the principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, Jiang Changdai was very polite. She didn't have the overbearing attitude she had when facing Lin Chu.
"Mr. Lin, Mrs. Lin, I'm Jiang Changdai, Yan Beicheng's mother. I'm sorry, I didn't even greet you before coming here. I really don't know your contact details. Other than being presumptuous, there's no other way, "Jiang Changdai said politely.
Su Changxin and Lin Zhenghe exchanged glances. It didn't seem like Jiang Changdai was here to cause trouble.
The smile on Su Changxin's face became even more polite. "Madam Jiang, please take a seat. I'm really sorry for making you wait outside the door just like that. You said you're Young Master Yan's mother, and Lin Chu is with Young Master Yan. Lin Chu's relationship with our family — "
Su Changxin didn't hide this. Everyone knew that Lin Chu didn't have a good relationship with the Lin family. Especially when Lin Chu sued Lin Yuwen in court, it was even more so known to everyone. She didn't believe that Jiang Changdai didn't know.
She said this to test Jiang Changdai's true attitude.
Sure enough, Jiang Changdai's expression didn't change. She was still smiling politely. She didn't look like she was here to settle the score.
Su Changxin asked Auntie Dong to prepare tea and send it up. Then, she sent Auntie Dong away.
Jiang Changdai said, "Both of you know that Beicheng's father passed away early. After he passed away, I returned to Ning City. I didn't want to stay in a sad place like B City. Otherwise, I would always think of Beicheng's father. I only come back once a year to see my parents. When I came back this time, I heard that Beicheng was with Lin Chu. I don't have anything against the Lin family. If Lin Chu was the daughter of the Lin family, I wouldn't say anything. "
"But she's an orphan. Her character … I'm really dissatisfied with her. It's just that Beicheng has set his sights on her, so there's nothing I can do. "
"Then Madam Jiang, you mean —" Su Changxin asked doubtfully.
"What I mean is, although I heard that Lin Chu's relationship with your family isn't very good, I think it's because she's ungrateful. But no matter what, you guys raised her, so you should at least speak up for her, "Jiang Changdai said. She looked at the tea that Auntie Dong poured into the cup. It was still very hot.
"I'm really dissatisfied with Lin Chu. I don't mean to look down on you guys. I know that you guys are different, and Lin Chu is Lin Chu. She has nothing to do with you guys. Whether it's in terms of status or character, I don't like her. It's not because he's my son that I praised him. Beicheng's excellence is publicly acknowledged. No matter what kind of girl he marries, he won't mistreat the woman. On the contrary, being with Lin Chu is really too unfair for him. "
"The two of them aren't compatible. I think the two of you agree on this point," Jiang Changdai said. "It's just that Beicheng likes her. For Lin Chu, he doesn't even care about me. He doesn't even treat me as his mother anymore. I really have no other choice, so I came to you guys. I hope you can control Lin Chu and don't let her seduce Beicheng again. She's really not good enough to marry into the Yan family. "
Su Changxin sighed. "If we could control her, we would have done it long ago. After she got together with Young Master Yan, she took revenge on us a lot. To be honest, we don't want to see her like that. But helplessly, the two elders of the Yan family accepted her. We really can't control her. Now, we can't even protect ourselves. "
