It was on the morning of the second day that Lin Xi found out that the Criminal Investigation Squad's police had talked with her father.
She had originally prepared the voice fusion software for her Qin’s. She had planned to simulate her original voice and call her father to send him a new year greetings at midnight tonight.
Dad should know by now that his older daughter killed his younger daughter and almost killed himself, and he probably knows that his beloved wife poisoned him when she knew he was about to recover.
Before he fainted, his family was warm and harmonious. However, after waking up, his youngest daughter died, his eldest daughter turned herself in at the police station, and his beloved wife was locked up in a mental hospital …
Lin Xi simply did not dare to imagine what kind of mood and reaction her father had when she learned of everything that had happened.
Although the hospital had just called to say that her father was fine except for his pale face and condition, she was still very worried.
Lin Xi thought about it, then decided to fly to America. Only by being by her father's side would she feel at ease. However, just as she was about to book a plane ticket, she received a call from her father.
When she saw the caller ID, her heart skipped a beat and she quickly pressed the answer button.
Lin Quansheng's voice sounded exhausted, but he was still spirited.
As soon as he heard through the call, he went straight to the point, "I already know everything about the country."
Lin Xi's tears rolled down her face, "I … I didn't mean to hide it from you. "
Lin Quansheng laughed bitterly and said with understanding: "I know, you hid these things because you wanted me to recuperate."
"Actually, I had a premonition since the beginning." Lin Quansheng continued, "When I was in a coma and hospitalized, although I was unconscious, I still had some feelings towards the outside world. That day in the hospital, I thought I heard the stream arguing with her sister, and then I heard a scream, and I knew something was wrong … "
Speaking till here, Lin Quansheng suddenly paused, and then, his voice had a choked of sobs: "When I woke up, you didn't mention anything, so I tried my best not to ask, thinking that this way I could pacify the peace and pretend that nothing bad had happened. However, what should come will still come. No one will be able to avoid it. "
From across the phone, although Lin Xi couldn't see her father's expression, she could still feel his pain. She almost couldn't help but tell him that she was Lin Xi, that she was still alive …
The two of them stayed silent for a few seconds, then Lin Xi tried her best to suppress her sobs and asked: "Don't be too sad, I will immediately book a plane ticket and go to America to accompany you, okay?"
"No need." However, Lin Quansheng rejected him immediately.
He said, "It's New Year's Eve at your place. I called you because I'm afraid you won't be able to trust me and won't have to go back and forth."
He added, "I'm a person who walked through the gates of hell once, so what can't I accept? So don't worry, I can think straight. You're a good girl, and I know you're worried about me, but I want to be alone. My recovery is not bad, maybe after the new year, I can go back home, then we'll see each other again. "
The reason why Lin Quansheng rejected him was obvious, Lin Xi's current identity was an outsider after all. No matter how worried she was, there was no reason for her to accompany him. She could only reply with a hoarse voice, "Alright, then I'll have to wish you a happy New Year in advance."
She knew that her father's heart was definitely not as calm as his expression. However, since he did not want others to find out, and did not want others to sympathize, she could only respect him.
"Happy New Year." After Lin Quansheng finished speaking, he cleanly hung up the phone.
Because of Father's matter, Lin Xi was in a bad mood the entire day. Until dusk, when Qin Yu drove her back to the Qin family's ancestral house for New Year's Eve dinner, she was still a little out of her mind.
Returning to the ancestral house for New Year's Eve meal on New Year's Eve, and going to the clan's ancestral hall on the first day of the year to offer sacrifices to the ancestors; these were the rules set down by the Qin family a hundred years ago.
As the current ruler of the Qin family, Qin Yu naturally couldn't be absent at this time. And Lin Xi, this fake fiancee, because she already had no other family members, naturally had to return to the ancestral house with Qin Yu during this kind of festival.
Halfway through, Lin Xi suddenly remembered that she did not prepare any gifts, and Qin Yu's car was also very clean, it did not look like she had prepared a gift.
Lin Xi looked around and suggested: "About that, why don't we see which shopping mall has not closed yet, let's go in and pick out some gifts?"
Today was her first time officially going to her in-laws' home. As a matter of fact, being empty-handed was not really acceptable.
But Qin Yu refused: "No need, the dividends they draw from the Qin’s every year is already the best present we can give."
He spoke carelessly, as if he was speaking about strangers in the ancestral house.
Lin Xi didn't really understand the Qin family's internal relations, but since Qin Yu had said so, she was happy to be empty-handed.
In Lin Xi's previous life, she had heard quite a few stories about Qin’s becoming rich and powerful, and had also heard about how magnificent and magnificent ancestral house was. At that time, she had felt that the person who spoke was just exaggerating and boasting, but when she truly arrived at the Qin’s's gate, she realized that not only was that person's description not exaggerated at all, it was even a little too modest.
Lin Xi thought that his own family's situation was not bad, and had seen many rich families' big houses, but compared to the Qin family's ancestral house, all of them could only be considered as small families.
The Qin Family's ancestral house was built on top of the mountain. More accurately, the entire mountain was built with the Qin Family's ancestral house. The gate was at the foot of the mountain, and it looked very simple. From the entrance to the living room, he had to drive around several times.
On the way to the living room, Lin Xi was surprised and praised her repeatedly. After she finished sighing, she remembered to ask Qin Yu: "Who are the people in your family? What is your character like? "Why don't you introduce them to me one by one? I have a good idea when we meet later."
"Are you sure you want me to introduce you one by one?" Qin Yu turned his head to the side and looked at her, a slight smile on his lips.
After entering the ancestral house, because they had to walk along the mountain road, for safety's sake, they changed to the ancestral house's bodyguards to drive the car. Qin Yu currently sat in the back row with her.
Lin Xi nodded her head, she knew her enemy and herself, she would never be defeated. It was not that she wanted to fight with anyone, but she wanted to know who she met and what she wanted to avoid. Even though she didn't want to leave a good impression on the ancestral house people, at least she wouldn't cause any unnecessary trouble.
But the smile on Qin Yu's face suddenly became sarcastic: I am only giving you names one by one, and will probably have to wait until next year, furthermore, there are many people whose names even I do not know.
Lin Xi was confused, but since Qin Yu was unwilling to say, she did not ask. It was only until the car arrived in front of ancestral house's living room and Lin Xi got off the car that she finally knew why Qin Yu had said that.
The living room in front of them was bigger than the usual banquet hall. There were about a hundred people crowded inside.
If everyone in this room gave their names once, wouldn't they have to start from New Year's Eve to New Year's Day?
When the people in the living room saw Qin Yu getting off the carriage, the originally bustling hall quickly quietened down.
Lin Xi crept closer to Qin Yu and said: "Your family is quite prosperous."
Fortunately, the ancestors of the Qin Clan had the foresight to use the entire mountain to build a mansion. Otherwise, with so many people gathered together, there probably wouldn't even be enough rooms for them to stay in.
Qin Yu scoffed and said, "It's the rule of our ancestors for all these years, that every extra mouthful of food in our family, we will be able to take away an extra portion of the reward from the Qin’s."
These words could not be more appropriate to the Qin family. The bonus everyone took from the Qin’s was enough for him to live a happy life without doing anything.
Lin Xi could not help but be speechless. "With so many people here, do you think you can raise them all by yourself?" No wonder Qin Yu left early and returned late every day. He worked so hard at work, this family's pressure was indeed a little too much.
Just as Qin Yu was about to speak, a young man in his twenties suddenly ran out from the living room.
He jogged all the way to Qin Yu, smiling as he said, "Third Uncle, you're finally back. My dad was just talking about you, come in."
Lin Xi turned her head to look at the young man who had interrupted her conversation with Qin Yu.
The young man in front of her might have a penchant for diamonds. He was covered from head to toe with diamonds of all colors, and wore even more jewelry than a girl. He looked like a brightly dressed Christmas tree.
Qin Yu nodded towards the "Christmas tree", and introduced Lin Xi: "This is Qin Ting, the eldest son of Big Cousin Brother."
It was rare that Qin Yu was willing to introduce himself, so it was likely that this big cousin of his was someone important in the Qin family. Thus, Lin Xi squinted her eyes and smiled at the glittering Qin Ting in a friendly manner, which was considered a form of greeting.
But when Qin Ting saw her, he said with an exaggerated "Wow, this is Third Aunt, right? "She's really pretty. She's much prettier than she was on TV!"
"Not at all, she's pretty as usual." Lin Xi smiled humbly, but in her heart, she praised Qin Ting's good eye. In addition, as a courtier, she also praised Qin Ting: "You're quite handsome, dressing up … "Yeah, it's quite fashionable. I'm sure it's especially popular among girls."
Just the pile of valuable diamonds on him was enough to attract some girls.
Qin Ting was not modest at all. He asked Lin Xi with a smile: "Then, do I also like Third Aunt a lot?"
Although Qin Ting's dressing did not conform to her own taste, but following the principle of being kind to others, Lin Xi still nodded and said, "Of course."
Just then, Qin Yu, who was being flattered by the two of them, suddenly coughed lightly.
It was only then that Qin Ting noticed that he seemed to have offended Third Uncle, so he closed his mouth and gestured for the two of them to come over.
Qin Yu gently raised his arm and waited for Lin Xi to grab it. Then, the two of them walked past Qin Ting and into the living room.
The people from the ancestral house had received the news long ago and knew that Qin Yu would bring his fiancee back today. As a result, the people in the hall were not surprised to see Lin Xi and only looked at him curiously.
When they saw Qin Yu and Yue Yang walking over, they automatically split into two groups to welcome them.
Lin Xi was a little shocked to see this scene.
Although not everyone in the hall seemed to welcome her and Qin Yu, they still stood orderly on both sides of the hall, making welcoming poses.
For the first time, Lin Xi clearly understood what kind of concept Qin’s owner was.
She followed Qin Yu and passed through the living room. Under all kinds of curious gazes, she felt a little uncomfortable, and was thinking if she should introduce herself and greet everyone. However, Qin Yu seemed to notice her uneasiness and spoke first.
He scanned the people on both sides and said, "Disperse. The madame is not here this year, so there's no need to go through so many rules. Everyone can do as you please."
Only then did the crowd slowly disperse, everyone retracted their gaze from Lin Xi, and the hall returned to its previous bustling atmosphere.
Qin Yu brought Lin Xi and continued to walk in, with Qin Ting following behind the two of them.
At the back of the living room, there were many other rooms similar to the private rooms, and the room they were heading to was the one at the end of the hallway.
When the three of them reached the door, a girl who was around twenty years of age walked in. She was extremely beautiful, and Lin Xi couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.
Just as the three of them were planning to push open the door and enter the room, the girl just happened to be close to Qin Yu.
Because Lin Xi had been staring at the girl, she was the first one out of the three to realize that the girl was about to fall.
In a split-second, before she could think of a reason, her body had already gone ahead of her thoughts, and she suddenly reached out and pushed Qin Ting, who was beside her, to the side.
Qin Ting and Qin Yu were very close, he was suddenly pushed away by Lin Xi, in a blink of an eye, he passed Qin Yu and rushed towards the girl with sprain on her leg.
Fortunately, they were able to avoid the attack in the end, so neither of them fell to the ground.
After standing still, Qin Ting quickly let go of the girl and turned his head to look at Lin Xi who had just pushed him. "Third Aunt, why did you push me just now?"
"I …" Lin Xi was also startled for a moment. She did not think too much into it when she pushed Qin Ting, but she subconsciously did not like that girl touching Qin Yu.
She sneaked a peek at Qin Yu, and coincidentally saw the faint smile that Qin Yu was giving her, and quickly retracted her gaze, feeling a little guilty.
She was not guilty of pushing Qin Ting, but she actually pushed Qin Ting because she did not want other women to touch him.
Lin Xi coughed dryly, and pretended to be calm as she said to Qin Ting: "Didn't you see that the other girl was about to fall? I'm giving you a chance to be a hero. "
She had originally prepared the voice fusion software for her Qin’s. She had planned to simulate her original voice and call her father to send him a new year greetings at midnight tonight.
Dad should know by now that his older daughter killed his younger daughter and almost killed himself, and he probably knows that his beloved wife poisoned him when she knew he was about to recover.
