Chapter 255 Grandma Lin, you are a great benefactor to our family.

“No,” Lin Xi quickly denied, “Song Xu and I are doing great together.”

"That's good," Grandma Lin breathed a sigh of relief. "I've been worried that my impulsiveness might have affected your relationship with Song Xu."

"No, no," Lin Xi said with a smile, "I have some great news to tell you."

"What is it?" Grandma Lin asked, her eyes shining.

“I’ve found my mother,” Lin Xi said, grabbing Grandma Lin’s hand. “My biological mother. She will come to see you tonight.”

Grandma Lin was stunned. She never expected this. She was also a little worried. "Xixi, are you sure it's your biological mother?"

They had just reunited with Song Chen, and their circumstances had improved. Xi Xi's boyfriend was also wealthy. Grandma Lin was worried that someone was impersonating Lin Xi's mother and had ulterior motives.

“Yes, I’m sure. There’s a paternity test result,” Lin Xi said. She knew Grandma Lin well and knew what she was thinking. “Do you remember Lu Yunqi? The girl who choked you awake from your coma.”

Grandma Lin nodded. Although she had never met Lu Yunqi, she knew what she had done. "What is her relationship with your mother?"

“She has nothing to do with my mother,” Lin Xi’s expression turned cold when Lu Yunqi was mentioned. “She has something to do with me. She usurped eighteen years of my life.”

"What does this mean?" Grandma Lin's eyes widened. "She's taken over your life. Did you and she get switched at birth?"

"That's roughly the idea." Lin Xi didn't mention Lu Zhentao. Lu Yunqi and her biological parents had all disappeared from this world, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

“Lu Yunqi has been kicked out of the Lu family, and my mother and brother took me back,” Lin Xi leaned her head on her grandmother’s shoulder. “Grandma, I didn’t go out to play for a while because I was injured and hospitalized. I didn’t tell you because I was afraid you would worry.”

"Where are you hurt?" Grandma Lin held Lin Xi's shoulder, her eyes searching for the injury on her body.

“It’s on the head,” Lin Xi showed the wound to Grandma Lin. The hair where the stitches were sewn was shaved off, leaving a bald patch. “The stitches have been removed, and it’s nothing serious.”

"Why didn't anyone tell me?" Grandma Lin turned to look at Bai Tiantian beside her. "Tiantian, you kept it from me too."

Bai Tiantian touched her nose. "Grandma, I was just afraid you'd get anxious and upset. They didn't say anything, so I didn't dare to either."

Grandma Lin snorted, "You all keep important things from me, do you think I'm too old and useless?"

Xi Xi found her biological parents and was injured, but no one told her about these two major events, which angered Grandma Lin.

"Grandma, please don't be angry. I didn't mean to hide it from you," Lin Xi explained. "The situation was special at the time, and my brother and Tian Tian only found out recently."

"Grandma isn't really angry," Grandma Lin patted Lin Xi's head. "It's a wonderful thing that you found your biological parents. Grandma is happy for you. But you can't hide anything from Grandma in the future."

Lin Xi nodded. "Okay."

Grandma Lin took one of their hands and led Lin Xi and Bai Tiantian downstairs. "You've come at the perfect time. I personally made a pot of pear soup, which is good for clearing heat and moisturizing the lungs. You should try it too."

"It's been so long since I've had Grandma's pear soup, I really miss it," Lin Xi said happily.

"Then I want to try Grandma's cooking," Bai Tiantian said.

Jiang Nian sat in the living room on the first floor, staring at the fruit and snacks on the table without daring to touch them.

Lin Xi just told her to wait, but wouldn't let her leave. She didn't know how long she would have to wait, and she was anxious to go back to her new home.

She heard someone coming downstairs and immediately stood up. She saw Lin Xi and Bai Tiantian helping an elderly woman downstairs.

Grandma Lin saw a little girl she didn't recognize in the living room and asked, "Who is this little girl?"

Lin Xi beckoned to Jiang Nian, "Nian Nian, come here for a second."

Jiang Nian walked over and bowed politely to Grandma Lin, saying, "Hello, Grandma."

“Grandma, her name is Jiang Nian, and she’s a new friend of mine,” Lin Xi introduced. “She knows martial arts, so she usually stays by my side to protect me.”

Grandma Lin understood; it must be bodyguards hired by Xixi's family to protect her. "There aren't many girls who know kung fu; that's wonderful."

"Xixi, Tiantian, please sit down first. I'll go and have someone serve you pear soup." Grandma Lin turned and went to the kitchen, walking steadily.

Lin Xi and Bai Tiantian didn't stop them; it's good for the elderly to move around.

"Niannian, try my grandma's pear soup later, it's delicious." Lin Xi pulled Jiang Nian back to sit on the sofa.

"Xixi, this isn't really appropriate," Jiang Nian felt more like a guest than a worker. "How about I wait for you at the door?"

“No need,” Lin Xi said, pulling Jiang Nian along. “Wherever I am, you will be there too. Whatever I eat or drink, you will have a share.”

Lin Xi is not a capitalist; she wouldn't mistreat her employees. Besides, she even has the idea of ​​making Jiang Nian her sister-in-law.

Jiang Nian was flattered. "Xi Xi, you're going to spoil me rotten. Aren't you afraid I'll become arrogant because of your favor?"

"If you can say something like that, I'm not afraid you'll do anything outrageous," Lin Xi said with a smile.

Grandma Lin came over, followed by a maid, carrying four bowls of pear soup on a tray. "Pear soup is here! One bowl for each person."

Jiang Nian looked at the pear soup in front of her and felt uneasy. There really was a portion for her. What incredible luck she had to find such a good part-time job.

Not only is the salary high, but the benefits are also great; they treat her like family.

Lin Xi took a sip first, "Mmm, it still tastes the same, delicious."

Bai Tiantian and Jiang Nian also praised it, making Grandma Lin beam with joy. "I'm glad you like it. Next time you come, Grandma will make you more delicious food."

Not long after the four finished drinking the pear soup, Lu Yunzhou arrived with Zhou Ruolan, and Song Chen returned shortly after.

The living room suddenly became lively.

Jiang Nian silently retreated to the doorway and stood there.

Lu Yunzhou and Zhou Ruolan brought a lot of gifts. When Grandma Lin saw them, she frowned and said, "Oh dear, why did you buy so many things? They look so expensive. Why should the family waste money?"

Lin Xi stood in the middle, just smiling and not saying anything. Both sides were her closest people, and it wouldn't be good to speak for either side.

Zhou Ruolan said to Lin Xi, "Xi Xi, quickly help Grandma Lin sit down."

Lin Xi didn't know what her mother was going to do, but she obediently helped her grandmother sit on the sofa.

Zhou Ruolan pulled Lu Yunzhou to Grandma Lin's side, and with two "plop" sounds, the two knelt down.

Grandma Lin was startled. "What are you doing? Get up!"

Zhou Ruolan's eyes reddened. "Grandma Lin, you are a great benefactor to our family. Without you, Xixi wouldn't be able to live, and neither would I."
