"Oh, so from now on, will you be closer to your sister or to our family?" Lin Xiazhu asked without much thought. In their hometown dialect, relatives are said to be closer or less close. She wanted to know which sister Xiao An would be closer to in the future.
These words were so childish and willful. Lin Xiazhu felt a little embarrassed. She wasn't really a child. Even though she had been reborn, she was already fifteen years old. Why didn't she think before she spoke?
This question is like asking, "If my mom and I both fell into the water at the same time, who would you save first?" It's a death trap.
As expected, Xiao An was stumped by the question. He was stunned for a long time. He actually had the answer in his heart. No one was as important to him as Xiao Zhu. However, he did not say it out loud because some feelings and family ties cannot be compared.
"They are equally important." Cha Cha and Tao Zi are also his sisters, and he will treat them like his own sisters. Gu Yan has lived with him for seven years.
However, he was still young during those years in the Gu family, so he doesn't remember some things very clearly. Also, he spent too long as a ghost, so the days he spent with Gu Yan are even more blurry.
Gu Yan probably doesn't remember him very well either.
If we're talking about deep feelings, he has to say deep feelings for the Lin family; he remembers every single detail from those seven years clearly.
Hmph, Xiao An already has another younger sister, and he doesn't acknowledge her as his older sister anymore. They'll definitely become estranged in the future. I really shouldn't have too much hope.
"It's late, I can't keep my eyes open anymore, I need to go back to sleep." Lin Xiazhu yawned.
He took two steps back and turned to look at Xiao An, hesitating to speak, but after thinking for a while, he decided to tell him, "Xiao An, I used two samples of Lingzhi and the kindness I have shown you over the years to exchange with your uncle for a villa."
"He'll transfer the house to me when he's free these next few days. You won't owe me anything, and I won't owe you anything. Okay, I'm going back to sleep now." Lin Xiazhu left quickly, never glancing at Xiao An as she spoke.
No matter what Xiao An thinks of her, she accepts it. That's just who she is. She doesn't have any lofty sentiments, she lives too practically, she's a bit greedy, but she never wastes resources.
Let Xiao An see what kind of person she is as soon as possible, so that he won't be sold out by her and still be counting money for her.
As always, Xiao An quietly watched her figure gradually walk away until it disappeared into the shadows. He knew about Lin Xiazhu and Bai Junbai exchanging Ganoderma lucidum for the villa; Bai Junbai had told him long ago.
He had previously hinted to Bai Junbai that he should exchange the larger villa in a more valuable location for Lin Xiazhu. Otherwise, Bai Junbai wouldn't have offered such a large villa for the transaction; he's a shrewd businessman.
Xiao An didn't think Lin Xiazhu did anything wrong. It was actually better that she had a house in the capital, which meant that she would really settle down in the capital in the future, and they wouldn't have to be separated by such a distance anymore.
What's a villa compared to that? She deserves better.
The next day, after breakfast, Bai Junbo said to Lin Xiazhu, "There's no time like the present. Let's go take a look at the house today. If we're satisfied, we can transfer the ownership directly. I'll bring a lawyer with me."
"Okay, let's take care of the important matters first, and then we can go out and have fun." Lin Xiazhu smiled.
"I'll go tell them." She asked Yan Xin to keep an eye on Lin Chacha and Lin Taozi, especially Lin Xiaoxue, to make sure she didn't cause any trouble.
Yan Xin pulled her aside and said, "You want to go out? I want to go out too. I want to go back and see." She was very anxious.
"Can you manage all by yourself?" I'm afraid you won't even be able to get through the Yan family's gate, let alone see anyone.
"Of course I have a way. If I can't even get into my own home, then I'm really hopeless." Yan Xin was full of confidence. She knew the Yan family inside and out. How could she not even be able to get in?
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Lin Xiazhu didn't say anything more. "Then be careful yourself. I'll go and tell Xiao An to take Chacha and the others with him."
As soon as Xiao An woke up, he was entangled by Grandpa Bai, who insisted that he stay by his side. As long as Grandpa Bai was awake, Xiao An could not leave his side for even a moment.
They sat together at the dining table, but everyone else was invisible. Old Master Bai only spoke to Xiao An. Of course, Xiao An was just a stand-in, playing the role of his father, Bai Junsong. However, Old Master Bai was the main actor, and he was just playing a supporting role.
"Xiao An, I have to go out for a bit. My mom is going out too. Keep an eye on Cha Cha and the others, don't let her cause any trouble."
Lin Xiazhu wanted to call Xiao An aside to talk, but Old Master Bai kept a close eye on him, as if someone was trying to snatch him away, and wouldn't let him leave for a moment.
Upon seeing Lin Xiazhu approaching, Old Master Bai immediately became alarmed, tightly gripping Xiao An's hand and pushing Bai Yang in front to block her, saying, "Bai Yang, you must hold on! We can't let those people take Junsong away."
Bai Yang nodded seriously, his face solemn. "Don't worry, old man. Anyone who wants to take Young Master Junsong away will have to step over me first."
Lin Xiazhu: "..." Does she have to be this dedicated?
Xiao An smiled helplessly, patted the old man's back reassuringly, and said while suppressing a laugh, "You can go out without worry. I can take care of Cha Cha and Tao Zi." As for Lin Xiao Xue, if she dares to cause trouble, he will have her locked up.
After Lin Xiazhu and the others left, Grandpa Bai said with a grin, "Jun Song, you're dating now? You've even brought a young lady home. Are you going to propose marriage later?"
Xiao An: "..." He's only sixteen years old, and marriage is still a long way off.
"The little girl is quite pretty, but she eats way too much. I just saw her eat two baskets of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), two glasses of milk, a boiled egg, a large meat bun, and a bowl of meat porridge."
And the one next to her, I heard, is her sister. She can eat just as much as she does. Xiao An, she even ate all your crystal dumplings, so you weren't full. Luckily, I secretly asked Bai Yang to save a few big meat buns for you. Take them and eat them quickly before she comes back, or she'll try to take them from you again.”
Then, with a hand gesture, Bai Yang received the signal and immediately and discreetly took out an oil paper package from an antique vase, inside which were five large meat buns.
These large meat buns were specially made by the kitchen after Grandpa Bai assigned him a task. They were then hidden in a large vase and are now being used as props to help Grandpa Bai put on a show.
Xiao An's lips twitched, and she explained softly again, "Grandpa, I ate the bun. Xiao Zhu ate the crystal dumplings because I couldn't finish them, so I asked her to eat them for me."
"Don't defend her, eat quickly." Old Master Bai had an expression that said, "I know everything, don't try to fool me."
There was nothing he could do. Old Master Bai kept urging him to eat quickly, otherwise the old man would be upset. Xiao An reluctantly ate one piece, and when the old man wasn't looking, he slipped the rest to the servant to take away.
When Lin Xiazhu arrived at the villa area, she went inside, went up to the rooftop, took a quick look around, and nodded in satisfaction, indicating that the transfer of ownership could be completed immediately.
"Why didn't you go around and explore before making your decision?" Bai Junbai raised an eyebrow.
"No need, seeing it is enough." She won't move into such a luxurious villa; she'll keep it to appreciate in value and sell it for a high price later, so she won't have to worry about anything for the rest of her life.
