Now that a young man of the opposite sex has appeared by Lin Xue's side, how could Lin An'an not pay attention to him?

"Hello, I'm here to pick up my younger brother from school. He used to be a student at H University!"

As the two sides faced each other, before Lin Xue could introduce them, Zhang Yang began to introduce himself.

"Hello, my name is Lin An'an, and I'm Lin Xue's older sister!"

"Judging from your words, you must have already graduated, right? Then you're a senior!"

Upon seeing Zhang Yang, Lin An'an couldn't help but want to find out what was going on with him.

That way, I can explain it to my brothers at home.

If her brothers found out that she saw Xiaoxue interacting with other men without asking who they were, that would be terrible.

“I graduated two years ago and now work at Huaxia Technology. My younger brother is a sophomore in college. I came here specifically to pick him up, and that's when I ran into Xiaoxue, so we chatted for a bit!”

Zhang Yang understood his sister's concern for her younger sister, so when Lin An'an asked, he immediately revealed his background.

"Huaxia Technology, that's one of the largest research companies in our agricultural country. Senior, you must be very capable to work there!"

Huaxia Technology is one of the largest scientific research companies in China, and those who can work here are among the most outstanding talents in the country.

If you fail in any one of the following areas—ability or education—you won't be able to get into this company.

For many people, being able to work at Huaxia Technology is the proudest thing.

"It's alright, but I'm still far behind my seniors and need to keep working hard!"

"How about we add each other as friends? We can get together sometime sometime."

Seeing that it was almost time, Zhang Yang didn't dare to waste too much of the two girls' time, as that would be ungentlemanly.

"Let's add each other again if we happen to meet again next time!"

Seeing Lin An'an looking at her, Lin Xue simply smiled back.

Although Zhang Yang is very good-looking, Lin Xue has no plans to be in a relationship at the moment. She has lived through so many worlds, how could she not understand the other party's intentions?

"Alright then, be careful on the road!"

Zhang Yang didn't say anything when Lin Xue refused.

After reminding the two to be careful on the road, he stepped back to the side of the road.

Lin Xue was driving on the road.

Lin An'an sat in the passenger seat, curiously observing her.

"What's wrong? You don't recognize me after just one week?"

Lin Xue felt uncomfortable being stared at and couldn't help but roll her eyes at Lin An'an.

"Xiaoxue, what's your relationship with that boy just now?"

In the end, Lin An'an couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering her.

"What could we possibly have to do with each other? We're just parents waiting for our kids to get out of school!"

Lin Xue's lips curled slightly. That's right, one of them came to pick up the older sister, and the other came to pick up the younger brother.

Aren't they just parents waiting for their children to get out of school?

"Hey, you're trying to take advantage of me, aren't you?"

Seeing Lin Xue say this, Lin An'an understood perfectly well that the girl was teasing her!

"Don't touch me, I'm driving!"

Seeing Lin An'an's eager expression, Lin Xue immediately reminded her.

"Hmph, just wait until we get home, I'll see how I deal with you!"

Lin An'an was not someone who acted without restraint, so naturally she wouldn't make a move against Lin Xue at this time.

However, she had already made up her mind that she would tickle Xiaoxue hard that night so that she could tease her all she wanted!

"Okay, I was wrong. I shouldn't have called you a child!"

"Hahaha……"

Although she said she owed it to him, Lin Xue found it more and more amusing.

When they got home, Lin Haotian and Lin Shengnan were already back.

"Dad, is something wrong? You seem to have something on your mind."

As soon as she got home, she saw Lin Haotian looking worried, so Lin Xue quickly went over and sat down next to him.

"It's Old Lin. His health has been deteriorating lately, and he was admitted to the ICU last night!"

"well!"

"If Old Man Lin falls ill, our family will lose a pillar of support, and life may not be as good as it is now!"

"well!"

Lin Haotian sighed twice after saying that, which shows how much help Old Man Lin has given to the Lin family's business.

"Dad, I'll take An'an to see Uncle tomorrow. Uncle used to like me the most. Maybe if I go there, his health will improve?"

The "Old Lin" that Lin Haotian mentioned is Lin Xue's great-uncle, and also a very important elder in their Lin family.

As long as this elder is still alive, the Lin family will receive considerable assistance in both business and political careers.

At least no one dares to easily mess with the Lin family!

If this great-uncle were to pass away, it would truly have a significant impact on the entire family.

"Alright, Elder Lin hasn't met An'an yet either. I'll personally take you two there tomorrow!"

Although I'm very busy with work at the company, compared to Mr. Lin's affairs, Mr. Lin's affairs are still more important.

Even if Old Master Lin could live a few more years, their Lin family might produce another pillar of support.

There's no need to worry about business matters. The Lin family is a large clan, and besides Lin Haotian's lineage, there are several other business prodigies.

The Lin family's current generation has seen a decline in their official careers, and several promising young talents have not yet come of age and are not yet able to support the entire Lin family.

When Elder Lin fell seriously ill, almost everyone who could come came.

"Dad, don't worry!"

“I happen to have a classmate who lives in the mountains. He recently dug up a wild ginseng, and I heard it's quite old!”

"I'll call my classmate right now and have him bring me some wild ginseng. Wild ginseng is the best thing for saving your life!"

Since this Elder Lin is so important to the Lin family, Lin Xue naturally wants to protect him.

It's said that it's good to take shelter under a big tree, and she's living a carefree life now thanks to Lin Haotian's influence.

But if Lin Haotian's life becomes difficult, then her life will definitely be affected as well.

"Can you get your hands on wild ginseng?"

"Then you'd better contact your classmate right away. Even if it costs more money, you must get the wild ginseng back for me!"

"These days it's so hard to buy wild medicinal herbs. All you see are farmed ones. There are so many cases of people selling fake products under false pretenses. You can't tell the real wild ginseng from the fake on the market at all!"

Upon hearing that Lin Xue could obtain wild ginseng, Lin Haotian immediately became excited.

He urged Lin Xue to make a phone call, and if that didn't work, he would personally drive her over to pick it up.

Seeing Lin Haotian's anxiety, Lin Xue guessed that her old uncle's health was probably really failing!

She quickly told Lin Haotian and went back to her room, where she pretended to make a phone call.

He left the room shortly after, picked up his bag, and drove off.

Lin Haotian saw his daughter rush out, clearly heading to get wild ginseng.

So he didn't care that Lin Xue hadn't told him when she left.
