A little while later, Yan Xin arrived, and Lin Xiazhu mentioned Fei Fei and the others to her, "They are all relatives of the Yan family. Relying on the power of your Yan family, they are so arrogant. They have caused trouble in my little coffee shop several times, which made me so angry that I almost hit them."
"I don't know any of them. They seem to get along quite well with Yan Mei. Oh, those people were secretly talking bad about me, mocking me for being dull and stupid like a block of wood." Yan Xin propped her head up, idly recalling what the three people looked like.
The three troublemakers weren't worth the time to discuss, so Lin Xiazhu quickly ended the topic. "Let's not talk about these irrelevant people. If they cause trouble next time, remember to teach them a lesson. By the way, Zhang Yu got married last month, and Cha Cha is getting married at the end of the year. I have to go back early then. I'm leaving the coffee shop to you. Keep an eye on it for me."
“Cha Cha’s wedding is such a big event, I have to go back too. Let’s close the coffee shop for a while.” Yan Xin immediately perked up, wanting to worry about her mother again.
"Don't go back. Do you think your parents will agree to you leaving Beijing? Going to such a far place will only make them suspect that I kidnapped you again. It's better not to make a fuss."
Actually, Lin Xiazhu was worried about something else. She was afraid that once Yan Xin returned to Changhe County, she might have an out-of-body experience or something, which would be terrible.
Thinking of her parents, Yan Xin gave up on the idea. Lin Xiazhu was right. Her parents even had someone watch her when she went out, treating her like a three-year-old child. She could only dream of leaving the capital.
"Hey, will Xiao An go back with you?" Yan Xin asked with a gossipy look. Bai Zhengping didn't approve of their relationship. Cha Cha was getting married at the end of the year. Would Xiao An, her future brother-in-law, be able to go back?
“Xiao An said she wanted to go back together.” Lin Xiazhu smiled, as if she hadn’t seen Yan Xin’s teasing.
"Speaking of which, it's true that Master Bai dotes on his grandson. If he really got tough, you and Xiao An wouldn't have such peaceful days. Don't think that what's shown on TV is fake. In reality, it would be even worse. Throwing money at you would be the gentlest way. If he really wanted to, he could kick you out of the capital or even have someone kill you."
"I actually believe what you're saying. Just like back when you chased me all the way south with your bodyguards, you just wiped me out back then." Lin Xiazhu jokingly brought up the past.
Yan Xin pursed her lips sheepishly, stopped being sarcastic, and started discussing what Cha Cha needed to prepare for her wedding and what gift she should give her.
"Just give her a big red envelope." Don't give her a car or a house or anything like that, it would scare Cha Cha away. Even her own mother isn't that generous.
“I originally wanted to give Chacha a tractor. She raises pigs in the countryside, so driving a tractor would suit her style. Otherwise, a three-wheeled motorcycle would be more practical for carrying pigs.” Yan Xin was serious.
"Song Cheng bought a pickup truck and a Longma car two years ago, both brand new. His pig farm has thousands of pigs, so tractors and tricycles are useless." Lin Xiazhu was also thinking about what wedding gift to give Cha Cha.
"I'll give Chacha a house in the county town, so they'll have two buildings there. Even if they don't raise pigs anymore, they can live comfortably in the county town." After giving one away, there are three left. We'll rent them out first, and then deal with the rest when Taozi and the others get married.
This year, Song Cheng and Cha Cha bought a plot of land in the county town and have already started building a house. They contracted Zhang Yu to do the work, and it is estimated that the house will be finished by the end of the year, which will then be their new home.
As they chatted, Yan Xin got hungry. She glanced at the time and it was already seven o'clock. No wonder she could smell the aroma of food. The waiters must be having dinner. The restaurant offers staff meals, which they ordered from the restaurant next door.
"Why aren't there any for us? The staff here are increasingly disrespecting you as their boss; they're not even bringing our food in." Yan Xin's tone was a bit sharp because she was hungry.
"If you're hungry, hurry home and eat. I'm going out in a bit," Lin Xiazhu said casually, urging him to leave.
Yan Xin stared at her suspiciously for a while, then nodded. "I understand. You have plans tonight, don't you?"
"Yes, Xiao An will come to pick me up." There was nothing she couldn't say; she just didn't want to upset Yan Xin, who was single.
"I want to come too," Yan Xin said shamelessly.
"No, you dare to come along and try. I promise Xiao An I won't agree." Yan Xin chickened out at the mention of Xiao An. She wasn't afraid of Lin Xiazhu, but she was afraid of Bai Ru'an.
The other person gave her a cold glance, and she became restless. Back when she was in the Lin family, she didn't dare to get too close to Xiao An, because that child was strangely aloof.
Never mind, she should just go home for dinner.
At 7:30, Bai Ruan drove to 'Xiaxia Cafe'. By then, they were already half an hour late for their appointment. Lin Xiazhu touched her flat stomach and began to feel sorry for her stomach. Just as she was about to get something to eat, someone walked in.
"You're finally here. If you hadn't come by eight o'clock, I was going to go eat next door and wouldn't have waited for you." Lin Xiazhu pouted, looking a little aggrieved.
"I had an impromptu meeting, so I was a little delayed. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting," Bai Ru'an apologized immediately, showing her quick wit.
Bai Ruan rarely said the words "I'm sorry," so others never had the chance to hear them. But he could say them to Lin Xiazhu very naturally. And every time he said those three words, he would whisper them in her ear, as if he were talking to her in a secret.
"If you do this again, I'll get angry." Lin Xiazhu complained symbolically. It's understandable that Xiao An is so busy, as she not only works at Songbai Group but also has to take time to manage her own company.
“I’ll call you in advance next time, unless something unexpected happens. If you’re hungry, eat first, don’t wait for me. Don’t ruin your stomach.” Bai Ru’an knew her best; she was most afraid of going hungry. Back in Changhe County, she would always worry about her stomach whenever she was hungry.
At that time, he thought her stomach would hurt and advised her to go to the hospital to see a doctor several times, but she said it was nothing and she would feel better after eating, but she just couldn't go hungry.
"I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up another day. Don't you often have stomach problems?" He was a little worried.
"It's okay, I'm taking care of it." Lin Xiazhu gave him a reassuring smile. She had stomach cancer in her past life, so she took special care of her stomach and often nag about it.
"Eating so late, my stomach is going to feel uncomfortable."
"I can't neglect my stomach, I have to eat something good. This stuff is too hard, my stomach can't handle it. That stuff is fried too much, I'm afraid it will make me nauseous. I can't eat spicy food, it will irritate my stomach..." She said many similar things, all of them unconsciously.
Everyone else got used to it and didn't pay attention, but Xiao An kept it in mind, afraid that she had a stomach problem. It was all her fault. When they were little, Xiao An liked to stick to her the most, and she often said that to him, which brainwashed him.
“If I really feel unwell, I’ll go to the hospital for a checkup myself. I have regular checkups every year, and I’m perfectly healthy, so don’t worry.” Lin Xiazhu said, rummaging through her bag. She remembered that she had just had a checkup a while ago, and the checkup form was in her bag.
She handed the medical examination form to Xiao An, who looked at it very carefully and was only relieved after confirming that everything was really fine.
