Lin Qinghuan didn't see that Wei Xiao, standing behind her, had a bright smile on his face when he heard that she would not get back together with Qin Zhen.

Wei Xiao had spent some time with Qin Zhen and felt that Qin Zhen was like a central air conditioner, polite to everyone but somewhat clueless when it came to romantic relationships.

Lin Qinghuan is cheerful and decisive. Having witnessed Lin Piaoxue navigate among many men without ever getting involved, she must particularly dislike people like Lin Piaoxue.

Wei Xiao had witnessed Qin Zhen's attitude towards girls before. He knew that Lin Piaoxue was interested in him, but he was still kind to him. Wang Xin was close to him, and Qin Zhen did not reject her advances. Now, another first love, whom he could not forget, had appeared.

Lin Piaoxue enjoys flirting with other men, and Qin Zhen is practically the male version of Lin Piaoxue, even more so. They are destined not to go very far together.

Thinking of this, Wei Xiao's smile became even brighter. Qin Zhen had severed his own marriage and did not cherish Lin Qinghuan, so let him protect her, cherish her, and care for her for the rest of his life, so that she could be safe and happy!

Lin Qinghuan and Wei Xiao chatted in the garden for a while, and then Wei Xiao escorted Lin Qinghuan back to her room.

Wei Xiao stood at the door of the room and said to Lin Qinghuan, "Qinghuan, you can call me if you need anything. This is the phone number of my unit."

As Wei Xiao spoke, he handed Lin Qinghuan a piece of paper with a phone number written on it.

Lin Qinghuan took the note and said, "I will definitely call you if I have any difficulties and ask for your help."

Wei Xiao looked at Lin Qinghuan with reluctance, "Qinghuan, I have to go back to my unit soon, so I won't see you off. Take care."

A wave of reluctance washed over Lin Qinghuan. Looking at Wei Xiao's handsome face, she said, "You too, take good care of yourself."

Wei Xiao nodded and reached out to hug Lin Qinghuan.

Lin Qinghuan was completely stunned. Wei Xiao actually hugged her. This didn't seem appropriate!

"A farewell hug." Wei Xiao said, releasing Lin Qinghuan and solemnly adding, "Goodbye, Qinghuan."

Wei Xiao said as he walked downstairs.

Lin Qinghuan watched Wei Xiao's disappearing figure, then quickly walked to the stairwell and watched Wei Xiao walk downstairs step by step.

The longing in my heart grows stronger; after today's parting, I don't know when we'll meet again.

Lin Qinghuan couldn't help but call out, "Brother Wei Xiao!"

Wei Xiao stopped and turned to look at Lin Qinghuan.

Lin Qinghuan waved to Wei Xiao and said with a smile, "Goodbye, Brother Wei Xiao!"

Wei Xiao smiled and called out, "Goodbye!"

The little girl is reluctant to part with him, which is a good sign.

Lin Qinghuan didn't return to her room until Wei Xiao was out of sight.

next day

Lin Qinghuan and Lin Piaoxue got into the Wei family's car, said goodbye to Grandma Wei and Mother Wei, and left the Wei family to return to Baiyun Village.

They traveled in silence until they finally returned to Baiyun Village, stopping in front of the Zhang family's house.

Lin Piaoxue got out of the car and looked at her own thatched house. She couldn't hide the disgust on her face. After living in a villa for so long, she was now going to live in a thatched house again. Lin Piaoxue felt very disgusted and secretly vowed to herself that she would live a rich and noble life in the future.

As soon as Lin Qinghuan got out of the car, she saw the driver, Xiao Wang, take out the gifts prepared by Grandma Wei and her mother from the trunk. She smiled and thanked him, "Xiao Wang, thank you so much, you've worked hard!"

“Miss Qinghuan, it’s no trouble at all, it’s my duty,” Xiao Wang said.

Hearing a noise outside the gate, Mr. and Mrs. Lin hurriedly opened the gate and immediately saw the car parked at the gate.

Lin Piaoxue and Lin Qinghuan both looked at Lin's father and mother.

When Lin's father and mother saw Lin Qinghuan and Lin Piaoxue return, they were overjoyed.

Lin's mother stepped forward, took Lin Piaoxue's hand, and asked happily, "Piaoxue, you're back. Did you have fun at the Wei family's?"

"It's alright," Lin Piaoxue replied casually.

Looking at the boxes on the ground, Lin's father's face lit up with surprise. Were all these things given by the Wei family?

Wow, so many! I wonder what's inside the boxes?

Xiao Wang glanced at Lin's father and pointed to the items above, saying to Lin Qinghuan, "Miss Qinghuan, this box contains books, this suitcase contains clothes for all four seasons that Madam and Madam bought for you, and this cardboard box contains snacks that Young Master Wei Xiao bought for you. Young Master Wei Xiao asked me to tell you to call him when you've finished eating them, and he'll send you more."

Lin's father and mother were stunned by what Xiao Wang said.

So much stuff on the ground, and it was all for Lin Qinghuan, but Piaoxue didn't get any?

When did Lin Qinghuan become so popular?

Lin's mother asked incredulously, "Driver, are you sure you're not mistaken? These things were given to Lin Qinghuan by the Wei family, not to Piaoxue?"

Xiao Wang smiled and said, "These were all instructions given by the old lady and the madam before they left. How could I have made a mistake?"

Lin's father and mother looked at each other, realizing it really wasn't for Piaoxue.

Lin Piaoxue's face was filled with shame and indignation. She had thought she would get a share of the things, but she never expected to get nothing at all.

Xiao Wang looked at Lin Qinghuan and asked, "Miss Qinghuan, would you like me to help you bring your things inside?"

Lin Qinghuan slung the cloth bag over her shoulder, bent down to pick up the box of books, and said to Xiao Wang, "Could you please keep an eye on it? I can carry it into the house myself."

"Okay," Xiao Wang replied with a smile, standing next to the box.

He could tell that after Lin Qinghuan got out of the car, Lin's father and mother hadn't looked at Lin Qinghuan properly or said a word to her, as if Lin Qinghuan was a stranger to them.

Xiao Wang was secretly surprised. If he didn't know that Lin Qinghuan was the Lin family's biological daughter, he would have thought that Lin Qinghuan was a stranger to them.

It's strange, why are parents so indifferent to their own children?

Lin Qinghuan seemed to have gotten used to it; this kind of interaction was truly unprecedented!

Xiao Wang looked Lin's father and mother up and down. They seemed honest and kind, but he never expected them to be so cold towards their own daughter.

Lin's parents felt a little nervous being stared at by Xiao Wang, wondering why he was looking at them like that.

Xiao Wang smiled, took out two hundred yuan, and looked at Lin's father, "Are you Miss Qinghuan's father?"

Lin's father glanced greedily at the money in Xiao Wang's hand and hurriedly replied, "Yes, it is."

Xiao Wang handed two hundred yuan to Lin's father and said, "Young Master Wei Xiao asked me to give this to you."

When Lin's father reached out to take the money with a broad smile, the Wei family actually gave him the money, which was quite unexpected!

Xiao Wang held onto the money without letting go, and looked at Lin's father, saying solemnly, "Young Master Wei Xiao asked me to tell you that once you've taken the money, you must treat Miss Qinghuan well and not let her suffer any grievances."

Lin's father felt a pang of anxiety. Wei Xiao's purpose in giving him the money was to make him treat Lin Qinghuan well!

Lin Qinghuan put the box down and walked quickly toward the gate. Just then, she heard what Xiao Wang said, and her heart warmed. Wei Xiao was always thinking of her; he was so considerate.

Xiao Wang stared at Lin's father, waiting for his promise.

Upon seeing this, Lin's father hurriedly said, "I will definitely treat Qinghuan well, please rest assured, Young Master Wei."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wang released his grip and said, "My wife and young master like Miss Qinghuan very much and can't bear to see her suffer. I hope you will keep your word and not go back on your word."

"No." Lin's father held the two hundred yuan tightly, his heart filled with excitement. This wasn't just one or two yuan, but two hundred yuan, a huge sum of money.

Lin's mother looked at the money in Lin's father's hand with burning eyes. This money could help her eldest son get a wife.

Xiao Wang smiled when he saw the greed in Lin's father and mother's eyes!

It's good that she's greedy for money; for the sake of money, Miss Qinghuan's life will be a little easier.

Lin Qinghuan approached Xiao Wang and asked with a smile, "Xiao Wang, would you like to come inside and have a glass of water?"

"Okay!" Xiao Wang said, picking up his suitcase and walking into the Lin family's house.

Lin Qinghuan picked up the cardboard box, glanced at her father and mother, and their expressions stiffened slightly when they met her gaze.

Lin Qinghuan withdrew her gaze expressionlessly and walked into the courtyard.

Lin's mother looked at Lin Piaoxue and asked in surprise, "The Wei family treats Qinghuan very well?"

"Mom, Grandma is Grandma Wei's best friend, and Qinghuan looks so much like Grandma. How could the Wei family treat her badly?"
