In an instant, Lin Yan felt that the fog in front of her had been cleared away, and she breathed a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I didn’t find the wrong person. If nothing unexpected happens, Xu Shan is Lu Yingqian.
She said how come Lu Yingqian didn’t even recognize Lu Jinghuai, it turned out that she had lost her memory, it was really bloody.
Lin Yan secretly clicked her tongue a few times and stopped asking any further questions. Instead, she simply chatted with Lu Yingqian.
Until the third daughter of the Xu family came running outside, she panted softly: "Sister, the dishes are almost ready. Mom asked you to take the guests to eat first."
Lu Yingqian finally realized what was happening and quickly stopped talking, feeling a little embarrassed: "Did I talk too much?"
Lin Yan shook her head, and Lu Yingqian finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Then let's go out too?"
There aren't many particular things in the mountain village, so there's no restaurant. For meals, we just pull the side table to the center of the living room and set up a round table.
Xu's mother was still busy in the kitchen, and most of the people were already sitting at the table.
After Lin Yan came to the table, Lu Yingqian also planned to leave, but was stopped by Lin Yan.
"Don't you want to sit down and eat together? There are so many empty seats."
Lu Yingqian shyly waved her hand: "It's against the rules. You guests can eat first. I'll go to the kitchen to see if my mother needs any help."
After saying that, Lu Yingqian hurriedly left and went into the kitchen without waiting for Lin Yan to say anything. Lin Yan had no time to persuade her anymore and could only see Lu Yingqian's back as she entered the kitchen.
Xu Mang was pouring wine for Lu Jinghuai and laughed out loud when he saw this scene.
"Don't worry about her. Our rule here is that when guests come to our house, women cannot sit at the table to eat."
Lin Yan couldn't help but frown at Xu Mang's usual tone and secretly complain.
[As expected, the poorer and more remote the place, the more preference for boys over girls there is, haha!]
However, no matter how much Lin Yan complained, she would not say anything to his face. She sat down next to Lu Jinghuai and ate her food in silence.
No one paid attention to her at the dinner table. Xu Mang and Wang Tiezhu kept urging Lu Jinghuai to drink.
After drinking glass after glass of white wine, when Lin Yan was full and satisfied, Xu Mang opposite her was already drunk, his face flushed, and he was pulling Lu Jinghuai to talk about all sorts of things.
He was drunk and spoke loudly, saying that he had not had a son for many years, and that once Wang Tiezhu married his second daughter, they would be like his son.
Wang Tiezhu drank less, but he also sat there in a daze, probably a little drunk. After hearing Xu Mang's words, he nodded continuously and even called out "Dad" a few times.
Lin Yan subconsciously glanced at Lu Jinghuai beside her. Compared to Xu Mang and Wang Tiezhu who were somewhat out of control, Lu Jinghuai looked much more normal. He sat upright and said nothing.
As if he noticed Lin Yan's gaze, Lu Jinghuai glanced over and blinked as if he was about to say something, but was interrupted by a sudden voice from the side.
Xu Mang, who was standing on the other side, suddenly started yelling, "Tiezhu, from now on you are my son. If anyone dares to say that I, Xu Mang, don't have a son, I will beat him to death."
After Xu Mang finished speaking, he slammed the table hard, and the wine glass on the table fell to the ground with a bang.
Xu's mother had also finished cleaning up the kitchen. When she heard the noise, she hurried out to see what was going on.
When she saw Xu Mang's condition, she roughly understood something and seemed a little helpless.
"He's drunk, why did he go crazy?"
However, Xu Mang could not answer his mother's question, because he fell headfirst onto the table.
Xu's mother quickly called her two daughters to help support Xu Mang back to his room to rest.
The host was drunk, and Lu Jinghuai and Lin Yan had almost finished eating, so it was naturally impossible for them to stay at the Xu family any longer.
After saying goodbye to Xu's mother, the group left Xu's house. On the way, Lu Jinghuai seemed to be drunk and leaned against Lin Yan subconsciously, as if he was using her as a fulcrum.
Lin Yan didn't react for a moment, stumbled and almost fell, and turned her head to glare at Lu Jinghuai angrily.
"Just walk, why are you always pushing towards me?"
Lu Jinghuai blinked in response to the accusations and said nothing, but there was innocence in his eyes.
Lin Yan uttered a "huh" and looked directly at the bodyguard behind her: "Come here and help your boss."
Before the bodyguard could move, Lu Jinghuai straightened up and said, "No."
When Lu and his group returned as they had come, the gate to Zhang's yard was open, but there was no one in the yard at noon.
When they went in, they found Song Jingya standing in the living room.
Song Jingya stood up when she heard the noise in the yard. When Lu Jinghuai and Lin Yan came in, she smelled the smell of alcohol on Lu Jinghuai.
"Lin Yan, where are you and your brother?"
Lin Yan looked up, rolled her eyes, and said, "Isn't your brother here? Why are you asking me? Why don't you just ask him directly?"
Lin Yanke had no interest in playing out any jealous drama with Song Jingya about fighting for men.
Song Jingya was also annoyed by Lin Yan's attitude. When she was about to say something, Lin Yan turned and walked into the room.
Song Jingya gritted her teeth and subconsciously looked at Lu Jinghuai: "Brother."
Lu Jinghuai's expression was calm: "Yaya, be smart, there's no need for you to pry into my affairs."
After saying that, Lu Jinghuai turned around and followed Lin Yan.
Seeing Lu Jinghuai and Lin Yan returning to their room together, Song Jingya's eyes flashed with jealousy and hatred.
…
As soon as Lu Jinghuai entered the room and closed the door, Lin Yan glared at him. Lu Jinghuai was about to say something when he heard Lin Yan's direct complaints.
"Why don't you just come in here without washing up? The whole room smells like alcohol on you."
Lu Jinghuai was stunned, his face showing a bit of helplessness. He could only say: "I'll grab some clothes and go out to take a shower."
When Lu Jinghuai came out of the room again, there was no one in the living room. Lu Jinghuai didn't care and went straight into the bathroom in the yard and took a simple cold shower.
When he returned to the room, Lin Yan was lying on the bed looking at her phone. Lu Jinghuai went over and sat directly on the bed.
Lin Yan finished a game, put down her phone and looked at Lu Jinghuai: "Are you eager to know about Xu Shan's situation?"
Lu Jinghuai didn't reply but just looked at Lin Yan quietly. Lin Yan clicked her tongue.
She didn't hesitate to keep people in suspense, but sat up cross-legged and told them all the news she had just heard without hiding anything.
"Your sister is one of the luckiest abducted children. She doesn't know that she is not Xu Jia's biological daughter. As far as she can remember, she has never left the mountains."
"The Xu family's eldest daughter got married at the age of 20. She finished high school and only discussed marriage this year."
Lu Jinghuai frowned as he listened, and said directly with a blank expression: "Qianqian was fourteen when she was abducted, not four."
