Chapter 93: Retiring is a small matter, but committing suicide is a big matter

Qi Shu tilted his head to look at Lin Tingsi, "It's just a gimmick, everyone says so."

This is how the participants of "Meeting in Love" were promoted. They were in the same group in the first and second episodes.

But in the third period, Qi Shu thought, he didn't know what Shen Shuli would come to mess up.

It is not clear at the moment whether he will continue to be in the same group with Lin Tingsi.

However, take a chance and make sure that what you want is in your own hands.

Lin Yukai uttered an "eh" and earnestly explained to Lin Tingsi, "The most important thing about a crush is the heart, not the gimmick. You're still too young, little girl."

Lin's mother took Qi Shu's hand.

"Don't worry about it. Why bother wasting your time at this point? Just spend the remaining six episodes observing him."

Lin Yueliang raised the corner of her mouth, "Sister-in-law, what you said makes sense."

Qi Shu: “…”

She could see that the Lin family seemed to be sure that Lin Tingsi liked her very much.

And they are very satisfied with her.

…

Until sunset, Qi Shu was kept at the Lin family for dinner.

Since the dishes were served, someone has been constantly putting food in the bowl in front of her.

"Little girl, the ribs are very flavorful."

“The chicken soup is delicious.”

"Modern people's diet emphasizes supplementing dietary fiber and eating some vegetables."

"Do you like meatballs?"

"Shushu, Auntie thinks you are a little too thin."

Qi Shu looked at the meatballs and put them into the bowl again, feeling bitter. There is a kind of thinness that makes your elders think you are very thin.

Fortunately, I don’t really want to enter the entertainment industry.

Otherwise, judging by her photogenic appearance, if she gets any fatter, her fans will probably hold flags and protest at the company.

Seeing that the bowl was really full, Qi Shu hurriedly stopped, "That's enough."

Lin Yukai: "Treat this place as your own home, don't be restrained."

Then, Lin Yukai gave his wife a look.

Lin Tingsi spoke at the right time, "I'll take you home at nine o'clock tonight."

Qi Shu swallowed the meatball and asked naturally, "Are you delivering it yourself?"

Without waiting for Lin Tingsi to answer.

The old lady, Lin Yukai, Lin Yueliang, and Lin's mother all said in unison, "What's there to give away? The room is already packed."

"?"

The movements were a bit fast. Qi Shu looked at them in silence.

Lin Yukai said softly, "Little girl, look at you. You don't want to be my goddaughter, and you don't want to be my daughter-in-law. You can't even meet such a humble request from your uncle?"

"Uncle's heart is very fragile. If you leave, I will probably pass out again."

"I'm old—" I'm in poor health.

The last four words were interrupted.

Qi Shu pointed at Lin Tingsi with his chopsticks, exposing his flawless acting skills. "Lin Tingsi said you are in good health and have no illness or disaster."

Lin Yukai gritted his teeth and chuckled, "You really like to mess things up, don't you?"

Lin Tingsi: "A white lie is still a lie after all. A relationship maintained by lies will not last long."

The atmosphere at the table suddenly became less cheerful after hearing these words.

Seeing Lin Yukai's expression turned cold.

The old lady looked sad.

Lin's mother scolded, "Lin Tingsi, be careful with your words and actions!"

Qi Shu quickly put down his chopsticks, sat up straight, and behaved well.

Lin Tingsi glanced at Qi Shu out of the corner of his eye, and there was an undisguised hint of coldness in his clear voice.

This chill was not directed at Qi Shu, but at his family.

"Can you still finish this meal?"

"..." Qi Shu leaned close to his ear and gently hinted, "You should be able to just shut up."

Lin Tingsi: “…”

The Lin family members also remained silent, choosing to end the topic and not let the atmosphere become tense.

After dinner, Lin Yueliang sat in the living room watching TV.

Lin's mother occupied Qi Shu and insisted on pulling her away to chat. Lin Tingsi wanted to take her away, but Lin Yukai stopped him.

Until the old lady said, "Miss Qi, will you accompany me for a walk in the yard?"

"Can."

Since the old lady had proposed it herself, there was no reason for Qi Shu to refuse.

The Lin residence covers a large area, with a long corridor surrounding the entire house. The old lady is still in good health and does not need much help to walk.

The old lady walked slowly. She sat down after walking a few dozen meters and looked up at the pond in front of her.

Seeing the old lady sit down, Qi Shu also sat down.

"Miss Qi, what do you think of our family atmosphere?"

"Very good, the family is harmonious and the family members are healthy." Qi Shuzhi said.

Having said that, Lin Tingsi didn't seem to like this atmosphere, and what he said during the meal was very strange.

The old lady turned her head and stared straight into Qi Shu's eyes.

"It's nothing more than...mirage."

As she spoke, the old lady threw a stone into the pond, causing ripples on the quiet water surface.

Qi Shu heard something behind the old lady's words.

"Grandma, if you have anything to say, feel free to tell me. I'll forget everything once I leave the Lin family's house."

"Silly girl, I don't want you to forget, I want you to remember everything."

Qi Shu said "oh".

The old lady waited for a moment, then hesitated before getting down to business, "Are you serious about Ting Si?"

“………”

Whoosh—hit the bull’s eye.

Noticing Qi Shu's hesitation, the old lady was quite disappointed. She said regretfully, "If his uncle and grandfather hadn't had the accident ten years ago, perhaps he would have been more willing to fall in love with someone without any worries."

"Uncle and grandpa?"

"The dead cannot be resurrected. It's all in the past. Grandma just wants to ask you to keep an eye on Lin Tingsi and don't let him do anything stupid."

Qi Shu's eyes paused, and he leaned his ear closer, suspecting that he had almost heard it wrong.

Are you sure what you just heard was Lin Tingsi doing something stupid?

What stupid thing could Lin Tingsi do?

The old lady said: "According to our whole family's observation, he may have suicidal tendencies."

"impossible!"

Qi Shu stood up excitedly.

The old lady pulled her to sit down, trying her best to keep a straight face. "Hurry up and sit down. Don't let him see you. He's very smart!"

“…”

"Grandma didn't lie to you. If it weren't for his double standards towards you and others, Uncle Lin wouldn't have investigated and approached you."

Qi Shu tried hard to digest the information.

"Grandma, you said Lin Tingsi has suicidal tendencies. Do you have any evidence?"

Old lady: “…No.”

"Then why?"

"He's going to quit."

"ha?"

Lin Tingsi quits the entertainment industry?

Qi Shu sat upright with a serious expression and took a deep breath. "Grandma, you talk, I'm listening."

The old lady held her hand and said solemnly, "Please take good care of him."

"Grandma, I want to know more about his retirement to inherit the family business?"

"This year marks his fifth year in the family business. The company's affairs are now managed by a dedicated person, and he has trained Lin Xue to be presentable. He can't fool my sharp eyes."

The old lady didn't reveal much information.

But for Qi Shu, the two most important pieces of information were explosive.

According to the degree of explosion, they can be ranked as follows:

The first is that Lin Tingsi wants to commit suicide.

The second is that Lin Tingsi wants to quit the entertainment industry.

Retiring from the entertainment industry is a small matter, but suicide is a big matter.

No matter which one, it is difficult to associate it with someone like Lin Tingsi.

…

The Lin family watched Qi Shu leave, their eyes filled with reluctance.
