One million?
It was not the first time that the Wang family man heard this number, but he still widened his eyes.
The man from the Wang family used to work as a mechanic in a local car repair shop. He worked three days a week and took two days off. His salary was not high, and with the money from selling their daughter, it was barely enough to make ends meet.
However, after receiving one million from the Lin family, he looked down on his job, which paid little, was dirty and tiring, so he simply quit his job and his family had no source of income.
The Lin family had almost spent all the money that they had given Lin Yan when they took her away.
Getting married, buying a car, building a house, everything requires money. It seems like a lot at first, but after spending it all, it’s gone.
Yesterday, his wife was complaining that there was less than 100,000 yuan left at home and asked him to go out and find a job.
How could the Wang family man be willing to do that? He is a rich man who has bought cars and houses. Could he possibly go back to repair the car?
The couple had a fight about this yesterday, but today the God of Wealth came and gave them another million.
The Wang family man was very proud. He was indeed destined to get rich. He rolled his eyes and said flatteringly, "Boss, if you have any instructions, just tell me."
…
On the other side, because the next day was Saturday, Lin Yan got up later than usual, but no one cared about him. Why not sleep on the weekend?
After dinner, Uncle Chen brought a stack of lists to Lin Yan and said, "Madam, the invitation list for the banquet has been sorted out. Is there anything else that needs to be adjusted?"
Lin Yan took the list and glanced through it briefly. After flipping through the entire list, she saw the names of the Lin family, but not Lin's mother and Lin Jiao.
Uncle Chen probably also knew what happened at Lin's mother's birthday party that day, so Lin Yan simply closed the list.
Lin Yan spoke to Uncle Chen very calmly: "Uncle Chen, you know my situation. I don't know most of the people here, and I don't know what needs to be adjusted. Uncle Chen, just take care of it."
Uncle Chen also smiled and said, "In a few days, I will sort out the people in the circle and make a file for the young lady to send over."
Lin Yan did not refuse this time. She really did not want to learn trivial matters such as housekeeping, but she still had to recognize all the people in the circle.
You can't possibly meet your partner's wife on the road, and she knows you but you don't know her, right?
After the housekeeper left, Lu Yingqian on the side was a little curious and couldn't help but ask.
"Sister-in-law, are you going to have a party?"
Lin Yan hummed and explained, "You've been back for so long, you have to meet some outsiders, otherwise I don't know how the news will spread in the circle. It just so happens that your birthday is in a few days."
When Lu Yingqian heard that they were hosting a party for her, she felt a little awkward: "Sister-in-law, I don't know anything yet. Will I embarrass you and your brother?"
The little girl's face was clearly full of nervousness, but Lin Yan didn't laugh at her. Instead, she patted Lu Yingqian's hand soothingly.
"There's nothing to be ashamed of. It's just a party for everyone to get to know you. You should know that my situation is similar to yours."
Lu Yingqian did know from bits and pieces of information from others that Lin Yan was in a similar situation to hers, having been living outside and had only recently been taken home.
But the difference is that the two were treated differently after they came back. The people in the Lin family obviously didn't pay much attention to Lin Yan, while Lu Jinghuai had been looking for Lu Yingqian for nine years.
Lu Yingqian felt a little sorry for Lin Yan, but at the same time she was curious about what was going on.
But she didn't dare to ask Lin Yan, for fear of hurting her and making her unhappy. In the end, Lin Yan took the initiative to tell her.
Lu Yingqian didn't know how to comfort Lin Yan for a moment, and her little face was tense.
Lin Yan seemed to see through her thoughts and chuckled.
"Why do you think I'm having a miserable life? Actually, I didn't stay in the Lin family for long before I married your brother, and I lived a pretty comfortable life afterwards."
Lu Yingqian pouted and said angrily, "But my brother was also very bad to my sister-in-law at the beginning. If I were her, I wouldn't want my brother anymore."
Lin Yan smiled but didn't explain. Could it be that he had no feelings for Lu Jinghuai at first, and that Lu Jinghuai had given her more material conditions? Was she planning to take advantage of Lu Jinghuai and use the money to support other gigolos?
In order to prevent the little girl from having any more wild thoughts, Lin Yan quickly spoke again to interrupt Lu Yingqian's subsequent accusations.
"So, Qianqian, you really don't have to worry about embarrassing yourself at the banquet. I was pretty nervous at first, too, but it's okay. Qianqian is so smart, she's sure everything will go smoothly. Your brother and I are here."
Lin Yan was talking about the first banquet after the original owner came back. It was obviously a banquet held for Lin Yan, but no one paid attention to Lin Yan.
Lin Yan could clearly feel the panic, fear and helplessness of the original owner.
But Lu Yingqian is different. She has the Lu family behind her.
Lu Yingqian pursed her lips tightly and nodded vigorously.
…
Time passed slowly, and Lu Yingqian's birthday party arrived in the blink of an eye. The party was scheduled to be held at the Lu family's house in the suburbs in the evening.
At noon, the family set out to prepare after lunch, and Uncle Chen had already started busying himself in the house with his men.
As the sky gradually darkened, the guests invited by the Lu family arrived. Lu Yingqian followed Lu Jinghuai and Lin Yan to receive the guests. Her behavior was dignified and there was no trace of her initial timidity.
Lu Jinghuai introduced Lu Yingqian to others. In fact, most people were still curious about Lu Yingqian. Many people had heard about the young lady of the Lu family who had been missing for nine years and was found again.
Some older people still remember Lu Yingqian as a child and sighed, "In the blink of an eye, the little girl has grown up so much. Your parents must know this in their afterlife."
Among the familiar people, Ji Mingyuan and Liang Huo also came, and brought Liao Wen, whom they hadn't seen for a long time.
Liao Wen and Lin Yan hadn't seen each other for a while. She sensitively noticed that something was wrong between Lin Yan and Lu Jinghuai. While Lu Jinghuai and Ji Mingyuan were chatting, she lowered her voice and asked Lin Yan.
"Is your relationship warming up further?"
Lin Yan pursed her lips, feeling a little embarrassed but didn't say anything to refute. However, Liao Wen understood immediately and laughed.
"That's good. Mr. Lu is a rare clean man in this circle, and there are no messy women around him." Liao Wen winked at Lin Yan.
"But... Song Jingya, from what I see, it's probably not what the outside world is saying. But the current situation between you two should be explained clearly, right?"
Lin Yan also quietly curled her lips and said "hmm", then asked whatever she thought of, "What about you and Ji Mingyuan? How are things going between you two lately?"
Liao Wen paused with her hand holding the red wine, looked at Ji Mingyuan who was talking to Lu Jinghuai on the side, lowered her eyes and chuckled.
"What can there be between President Ji and me? I'm just her secretary."
