Marriage is too late

Chapter 72

Lin Xuxing and Ji Jin looked at each other: "Lin Ren?" Lin Xuxing's face changed slightly, the expression was so complicated, happy, nostalgic, guilty, dignified...

"Your brother? The brother who killed someone because of drug driving? Shouldn't he have half a year left in prison?" Ji Jin quickly organized the information in his mind, "I even made a special schedule for picking him up and booked it Cleaning up the dust."

Lin Xuxing squeezed her hand, smiled wryly: "It's still the same temperament, that child is always a surprise." He put on her shoes for her, "Let's go."

Lin Xuxing deliberately went to the bathroom first, the cold water was still so cold that people shivered even in late winter.But he felt sober, that naughty child, that complicated child, the person who caused the Lin family to lose two children at the same time, finally came back after many years.

Ji Jin knocked on the door softly: "Ah Xing? Are you okay?"

Lin Xuxing responded, pushed the door open, held Ji Jin's hand, and left firmly.

The music in the hall didn't stop, it was still melodious and pleasant, the guests were still dressed, but there were more whispers among each other, and their eyes slid to an out of place figure in front of the mini bar intentionally or unintentionally.

From the back view, that figure is tall and tall, somewhat similar to Lin Xuxing's figure, but he is bald, with only a little bit of blue hair protruding from his scalp. Although his clothes are neat, their styles have been outdated for many years. It even didn't fit a bit. Obviously, this person has become stronger in recent years, not like the thin boy back then.A worn canvas bag was thrown under his feet, which formed a stark contrast with the bright marble floor.

The mini bar centered on him, forming a small vacuum area. When the guests came to serve drinks, they intentionally or unintentionally avoided his surroundings. It seemed that just standing next to him could cause trouble.

Lin Xuxing let go of Ji Jin's hand, indicating that she should stand here and not move. He walked up and patted the shoulder of the figure from behind. He turned his head quickly, and a handsome face appeared in front of everyone. Lin Ren had no cruelty. Qi, if it weren't for the obvious bald head, he would be a young man in the prime of his youth.

Lin Ren's expression was confused for two seconds at first, and after he saw who was coming, he burst into a bright smile and hugged Lin Xuxing's shoulder: "Brother!"

Lin Xuxing hugged him back, gently wrapped his arms around his shoulders and asked, "You didn't say anything in advance when you came back? You bastard. Let's go, I'll take you to take a shower and change your clothes."

"Brother is trying to hide me from the guests." Lin Ren let go of Lin Xuxing with a half smile on his face.

"What are you talking about! I want to hide you who are dressed so casually in front of the guests. Since when did the Lin family treat guests so unruly? Go change into a suit before getting down." Lin Xuxing paused suddenly, and his tone became softer , "We haven't moved your room. Aunt Xie hangs the clothes that should be bought every season in your closet. You go to change them before you come down. Aunt Xie has a headache. I didn't come down to socialize today. Why don't you go and see her first?"

Lin Ren's expression didn't seem to change, he still had the bright smile, but Ji Jin keenly caught the flash of emotion in his eyes.Lin Ren lowered his head and thought for a while, his eyes slid across the guests, and finally hovered over Ji Jin's body for a while, Ji Jin had an indescribable feeling, the way Lin Ren looked at her touched her inexplicably.

Lin Ren nodded: "Okay, then I'll come down later." He picked up the canvas bag at his feet, walked through a room of singing and dancing, and walked straight to the second floor.Until Lin Ren's back disappeared at the end of the stairs, the atmosphere of the whole party seemed to return to a relaxed and harmonious state unintentionally.

Lin Ren did not appear at the party again tonight.

Because of Lin Ren's appearance, many people questioned Ji Jin. Ji Jin was so busy that he tried his best to be decent and thoughtful.She told the truth that Lin Ren did not notify in advance when he returned home, but he is a family member, and the subsequent arrangements will respect his wishes, and she has no more thoughts for the time being.

Although everyone felt that their need for gossip could not be met, it was obvious that they could not get more information from Ji Jin.However, just seeing the notorious Lin family prisoner released from prison after serving his sentence, and appearing in such an incompatible way for the first time, is enough to become a topic of conversation for some time to come.

The banquet ended as scheduled, and Ji Jin felt exhausted for the first time.But the night was far from over, Mr. Lin sent someone to summon Ji Jin to his room, saying that he had something to talk about.

Tonight, Mr. Lin Ju'an looked very haggard. After all, he had undergone an operation and he was getting old again. Although he has been recuperating recently, he is old and recovery is not easy.Tonight, Mr. Lin Ju'an sat silently on the head of the bed, with endless thoughts on his expression.

"Ji girl, come here." Lin Juan beckoned.

Ji Jin is still a high-end evening dress, the skirt is like a blooming flower, complicated and luxurious.Stepping on her high heels, she walked carefully to the chair next to Lin Juan's pillow and sat down.

Lin Ju'an watched with satisfaction as she acted with moderation, sobriety and gentleness.He leaned back on the chair and asked, "Are you still getting used to it today?" In fact, someone had already reported to Lin Juan that Ji Jin tonight was amazing, graceful and beautiful, and his manners were very decent. Speaking of which, this is Ji Jin As the Lin family's grandson's daughter-in-law's first appearance in the social circle of C City, it was perfect.

Ji Jin replied cautiously: "There are many small mistakes, and there is still a lot to learn."

"Too modest." Lin Juan made an assertion, "Modity is a good thing. The higher you climb, the more you need to be modest and prudent. I hope you don't forget this beautiful virtue."

Ji Jin respectfully replied: "Yes." She knew very well that Lin Juan would definitely not just ask a few meaningless polite words when he called her up, there must be other intentions, she didn't ask, she waited slowly.

"Aren is back, have you seen it?" Lin Juan asked her.

Ji Jin nodded: "Ah Xing exchanged pleasantries with him, but I only glanced at him, and I haven't had time to introduce him formally."

Lin Xuxing nodded slightly, and then asked, "Did Ah Xing tell you why he left the Lin family?"

This is a very sensitive topic, Ji Jin didn't know how to say it, she simply told the truth, she had a premonition that it was meaningless to lie in front of this old man who seemed to be dying.She paused, and said vaguely: "I said something, because Lin Ren's imprisonment was a bit of a misunderstanding."

Lin Ju'an nodded: "I guess so, Ah Xing is kind, and he didn't say it so directly. Ji girl, when Ah Ren had an accident, your stepmother Xie Yingying was the first person to hit Ah Xing with her palm. It's not good to blame him for getting to know Ah Ren." Otherwise, Ah Xing would not have degenerated like this. Your father-in-law Lin Yiran was the second person to slap Ah Xing, and he blamed Ah Xing for reporting Ah Xing to the police. Ah Xing may not care about these two slaps, but I remember .

Such an arrogant Ah Xing didn't say much after suffering such a big grievance. After the dust of Ah Ren's matter settled, he went abroad to study for graduate school. I only found out after the fact.Blame me, I didn't stand on Ah Xing's side at the first time, when everyone misunderstood Ah Xing, I didn't stand up to protect my Ah Xing. "

Even though Lin Xuxing has passed his age, in the eyes of Mr. Lin Juan, he is still the child who needs his protection, and he will not change throughout his life.

"Ah Xing still has a knot in his heart, with his father, younger brother, stepmother, these people who should have been the closest to him, but now they are the strangers to him, Ji girl, can you help me with this guilt?" Grandpa, do you want to share?" Lin Juan held Ji Jin's hand.

Ji Jin looked surprised: "Me?"

Lin Ju'an nodded affirmatively: "I have seen and seen, I can only explain this matter to you."

Ji Jin suddenly had an ominous premonition. The words of Mr. Lin Ju'an didn't sound like instructions, but rather like confessing his last words. Although his face was gentle, his haggard and sickly look couldn't deceive anyone. She was steady. Mind, asked cooperatively: "Grandpa, what do you want me to do?"

"Help Ah Xing when he needs to be enlightened. Your special status may just make you the most suitable person. Ji girl, your background is your shortcoming, and it is also your strong point. Lin Juan said meaningfully, "I have something for you. Open the drawer in the middle of the desk, and there is an envelope on the right, with Ye Rufeng written on it, go and get it."

Ji Jin acted according to his words in doubt, and sure enough, a clean white envelope was lying on the desk.

Lin Juan nodded: "Open it."

Inside the envelope was a photo of two people standing shoulder to shoulder, one was the younger Lin Ju'an, and the other was handsome and handsome.

"This is?!" Ji Jin felt a little unbelievable that this person looked somewhat familiar.

"Your father Ye Rufeng." Lin Juan said lightly, "I have long wanted to give you this photo. We have known each other many years ago."

Ji Jin looked at the somewhat blurred figure in the photo, and didn't know what to say. It seemed strange and touching, which made her very confused.

"Receive it, it's just a thought." Lin Juan waved his hand wearily, "Grandpa hopes that you live well and live happily. Sometimes, forgetting the past is also a good thing. It is not easy to have a family. Forget the pain of the past. to live in the present moment.”

Ji Jin pinched the photo in a daze, feeling that Lin Juan's words had a lot of meaning, but he didn't know how to respond, so he could only nod slowly.

"Go." Lin Juan was finally too tired to speak, and coughed twice wearily.Ji Jin obediently covered him with the quilt, and quietly retreated out.

"What did grandpa ask you for?" A slightly joking strange male voice rang out from behind Ji Jin.Ji Jin was startled, and as soon as he turned his head, he bumped into another strange chest.
