Yan Beicheng hugged Lin Chu with one hand and placed his other hand on his knee. His index and middle fingers tapped on his knee from time to time.
Yan Zhiqing pouted. "Not only is a sister inferior to a wife, but she's also inferior to a brother. Being your sister is too lowly. "
Yan Beicheng didn't feel uncomfortable at all. "You and I are family. No matter what happens, we can talk openly. Whether you can accept it or feel that it's too harsh, your family can settle it. Even if our feelings are hurt now, we will still be family. This is a relationship that can't be broken no matter what.
"But Wei Zilin is my friend. If our feelings are hurt, even if we make up in the future, there will still be cracks. Besides, if my sister is immature and makes things difficult for him, I will be responsible too. I can't make things difficult for others just because of your willfulness. It's fine if you make things difficult for your own family, but outsiders have no obligation to spoil you. "
The first part of Yan Beicheng's explanation was fine, but the latter part was unpleasant.
Yan Zhiqing even suspected that Yan Beicheng had said all the good things in his life to Lin Chu, so the rest of the bad things were left for others to hear.
"Who said I'm immature! I'm just trying to fight for myself. Why is it natural for a man to chase a woman? When it's a woman's turn to fight for herself, it's making things difficult for others? "Yan Zhiqing puffed up her cheeks and clenched her fists." I'm a reasonable person. "
Lin Chu felt that regardless of whether what Yan Zhiqing said was true or not, if Wei Zilin didn't like her, she wouldn't pester him. But there was one thing that Yan Zhiqing said was quite reasonable. No matter what, she had to give her a chance to get to know Wei Zilin.
If that didn't work out and Wei Zilin didn't like her, then there was nothing she could do.
Although Lin Chu also felt that Yan Zhiqing's personality wasn't suitable for Wei Zilin, she didn't know much about Wei Zilin. But based on their daily interactions, she felt that Wei Zilin didn't like someone like Yan Zhiqing.
Moreover, Yan Beicheng was right. Yan Zhiqing was indeed too young for Wei Zilin.
Yan Zhiqing was only a freshman this year. To her, she was just a little girl, let alone Wei Zilin.
Even after graduating, she was only twenty-three or twenty-four years old. To Wei Zilin, she was still young. But working and students felt different. She was more mature.
However, Wei Zilin did not have a girlfriend and was still single. Yan Zhiqing herself did not care about the age gap and wanted to fight for it. This was not a bad thing and did not hurt anyone. Therefore, although Lin Chu did not support it, he did not oppose it either.
If Wei Zilin had a girlfriend and Yan Zhiqing knew about it, it wouldn't be right for her to disturb him. Yan Zhiqing and Yan Beicheng wouldn't agree to it no matter how hard Yan Zhiqing tried.
But at the end of the day, Wei Zilin and Yan Beicheng were good friends, and Yan Beicheng had more say in this matter. It was not good for her to interfere, so she had not said anything.
Actually, even if they felt that Yan Zhiqing and Wei Zilin weren't suitable, Yan Zhiqing's request wasn't too much.
But Lin Chu didn't need to tell Yan Beicheng in private. Yan Beicheng's deep voice rang out. "If you can really promise to do what you say, I can promise you."
Yan Zhiqing was stunned. She was prepared to argue with Yan Beicheng, but she didn't expect him to actually agree. For a moment, she thought that she had heard wrongly.
She blinked and asked in surprise, "Really?"
"As long as you promise that if Wei Zilin really doesn't have feelings for you, you can't pester him and make things difficult for him." Yan Beicheng looked straight at Yan Zhiqing and said sternly.
"Of course I promise. Don't worry." Yan Zhiqing nodded anxiously. Now that she had achieved her goal, she felt that she was too eager and embarrassed herself.
She choked and raised her chin proudly. "I won't rush. I'm so good. If he doesn't like me, then he has bad taste and is unlucky. I, Yan Zhiqing, am so good. I don't have to choose a man. "
"Fine." Yan Beicheng said and exhaled. "Since you said that, I will find a chance to let you get to know Zilin. But the ticket for this art exhibition belongs to Yu Zi. I don't have the final say on who she gives it to. "
Yan Zhiqing immediately looked at Yu Zi. Yu Zi didn't care and said, "Then I'll give it to Wei Zilin."
This matter was left to Yan Beicheng to handle.
In the end, the one who gave the ticket to Wei Zilin was Yan Huaian. The reason was that Yu Zi and Yan Ningbai were temporarily under Wei Zilin's protection. Yan Beicheng only had eyes for his wife, so he was worried.
Although Wei Zilin felt that Yan Huaian's reason wasn't very good, he didn't have anything to do anyway, so he agreed.
Yan Ningbai also called Mo Jinxi. Mo Jinxi didn't appreciate oil paintings, but it was good to be able to hang out with Yan Ningbai. He immediately asked Liang Xiulin.
Liang Xiulin also wanted Mo Jinxi to hang out with Yan Ningbai, so she agreed happily.
Everyone decided that on Saturday, Yan Beicheng and Lin Chu would come to the old house to fetch Yan Zhiqing. Meanwhile, Yu Zi and Yan Ningbai would go to the Mo house to fetch Mo Jinxi. They arranged to meet Wei Zilin at the art exhibition.
Yan Zhiqing's legs weren't convenient, so she took up the entire backseat. Lin Chu sat in the front passenger seat.
Because of Jiang Changdai, their relationship with Yan Zhiqing improved. However, Yan Beicheng wasn't close to Yan Zhiqing to begin with. It seemed that Yan Beicheng used all his thick skin on Lin Chu. This made it impossible for him and Yan Zhiqing to be as close as normal siblings. Yan Zhiqing was a stubborn person who refused to give in.
Because of this, although their relationship improved, they were rarely this close. Yan Zhiqing's legs weren't convenient, so she didn't like to go out. She would only let the old house's chauffeur, Xiao Deng, drive her if she had no other choice.
Lin Chu couldn't help but feel that she and Yan Beicheng cared too little about Yan Zhiqing.
At this moment, both of Yan Zhiqing's legs were in the backseat. She was holding a box of cushion foundation to touch up her makeup, patting here and there.
"At your age, you look the best without makeup. If you do, you look older and not as good as you used to." Yan Beicheng frowned. He wanted to say that not only did she not look good, but she also looked funny.
She looked like a child pretending to be an adult.
However, after thinking about it, he felt that although what he said was true, it was too hard to accept, so he didn't say it.
Even so, Yan Zhiqing was very unhappy when she heard it. Today, she specially put on makeup and dressed up beautifully, trying to make Wei Zilin's eyes light up.
"Our school is like this. Brother, you're really too backward. Now even middle school students have to put on makeup." Yan Zhiqing rolled her eyes at the cushion foundation mirror and continued to touch up her makeup.
Yan Beicheng looked at her in the rearview mirror. Wasn't she still a child?
They were the first to arrive. Yu Zi, the two kids, and Wei Zilin hadn't arrived yet.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Yu Zi arrived with the two children. Yan Ningbai and Mo Jinxi each held a small cup of pearl milk tea. The art exhibition didn't allow them to bring this. Since Wei Zilin hadn't arrived yet, they let the two kids drink it in the car. They were almost done anyway.
After drinking it, Yu Zi found a trash can to throw it away. The few of them went to the hall to wait. It was too cramped in the car, so the two kids couldn't sit still. In the hall, the two kids ran around.
After waiting for a while, they saw Liang Wenyin come out. Liang Wenyin was here every day for two consecutive weeks of art exhibition.
"I knew you guys would come today, so I've been waiting." Liang Wenyin smiled and said, "Since you're here, why don't you go in?"
"I have a friend who hasn't arrived yet," Yan Beicheng explained. One of his hands was still on Lin Chu's waist. He was very polite, but it had become a habit. As long as Lin Chu was by his side, he would subconsciously protect her. After Lin Chu got pregnant, this habit became even stronger.
Just as he finished speaking, Wei Zilin arrived.
Seeing that everyone was here except for him, he said apologetically, "Sorry, I'm late."
Liang Wenyin was startled, then she asked politely, "This is —"
"My friend, Wei Zilin." Yan Beicheng gave a simple introduction and then introduced Liang Wenyin to Wei Zilin.
"Hello, Mr. Wei." Liang Wenyin extended her hand to Wei Zilin.
Wei Zilin nodded slightly and shook hands with Liang Wenyin politely. He didn't go beyond the polite time and immediately let go.
Yan Zhiqing narrowed her eyes and called out before Liang Wenyin could say anything, "Brother Zilin!"
Because of the incident between Jiang Changdai and the Lu family, Wei Zilin also knew about Yan Zhiqing's attitude, so he had a better impression of her and treated her more politely than before.
Yan Zhiqing was extremely happy. Taking advantage of Wei Zilin's absence, she looked at Liang Wenyin provocatively.
Yan Zhiqing was like a porcupine now, not letting go of any suspicious rival in love. Besides, looking at Liang Wenyin, she obviously had a good impression of Wei Zilin.
She muttered in her heart, "Old woman," and said to Wei Zilin, "Brother Zilin, can you push me? My brother has to protect Lin Chu, and Yu Zi has to take care of the two kids. "
Liang Wenyin smiled faintly. "Miss Yan, isn't your wheelchair electric?"
As she said that, she even raised her eyebrows at the joystick in her hand.
Yan Zhiqing pouted and said confidently, "My hand hurts."
Lin Chu: "…"
She felt that Yan Beicheng's thick skin might be hereditary. Yan Ningbai was the same, and after spending some time together, she realized that Yan Huaian was the same. It was just that he didn't show it in front of them and wasn't as obvious as Yan Beicheng.
She originally thought that Yan Zhiqing was thin-skinned and always said things that went against her conscience, but she didn't expect that she was also thick-skinned.
Liang Wenyin took the initiative to walk behind the wheelchair. "Then let me push you."
Yan Zhiqing gritted her teeth and said, "How can we let Miss Liang keep following us and not entertain other guests?"
