Chapter 221 Face
At this time, Lin Xiaoqi was chatting with Zhong Keqing with a smile on her face, and from time to time they would smile happily.
During the past few days of getting along with Zhong Keqing, Lin Xiaoqi had a good impression of her. In the Lin family, Lin Xiaoqi was the first one to recognize Zhong Keqing besides Lin Xining. Moreover, according to the tradition of the Lin family that girls are valued over boys, if Lin Xiaoqi recognized Zhong Keqing, it would mean that the entire Lin family recognized Zhong Keqing. The relationship between Lin Xiaoqi and Zhong Keqing was not like the incompatible relationship between ordinary sisters-in-law, but more of a tacit understanding between good friends.
"Sister-in-law, your sister...she..." Lin Xiaoqi decided to take the initiative to bring up the topic that Zhong Keqing was unwilling to talk about.
These days, even Zhong Keqing noticed that her sister Zhong Kewen's behavior had become much strange since she came back from that place.
It used to be lively, but now it seems a bit lifeless.
Sometimes Zhong Keqing saw many things in Zhong Kewen's eyes that she didn't understand.
Zhong Keqing groaned in silence for a while, then she said, "Xiaoqi, Wenwen...seems to be getting more and more distant from me. I don't know why the two sisters who were once united and harmonious have become like this..."
Lin Xiaoqi raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Sister-in-law, I understand... I understand that you want to solve the series of problems and conflicts between you and Zhong Kewen." Lin Xiaoqi paused, and after seeing Zhong Keqing nodded, she said, "Then sister-in-law, before answering your question, I also have a question for you. I want to know... what are your feelings for my eldest brother?"
Lin Xining, who had just returned from the vegetable garden of the villa next door, couldn't help but stop when he heard his sister Lin Xiaoqi asking Zhong Keqing this. He stood outside the window and listened silently.
Zhong Keqing looked at Lin Xiaoqi, bewildered: "Xiaoqi, what does this question have to do with the question I asked you?"
"Of course it does." Lin Xiaoqi smiled slightly, "Well, let's put this question in exchange for me solving your problem, sister-in-law."
"Exchange terms?" Zhong Keqing pondered for a while, and finally nodded, "Okay."
Lin Xiaoqi folded her hands and looked at Zhong Keqing, "How is it?"
Zhong Keqing took a deep breath, looked at Lin Xiaoqi, and slowly spoke -
"Xiaoqi... to be honest, your brother is the first person who is so nice to me. I really... am not used to it... so when I was surprised, I thought more of escaping..." Lin Xiaoqi nodded slowly when she heard Zhong Keqing's words: When Qin Chenyi was nice to her, Lin Xiaoqi also felt it was particularly incredible. After all, compared with the indifference in her previous life, this kind of kindness made her feel even more terrified, not to mention a girl who had never experienced warmth and had to depend on her sister since childhood.
Zhong Keqing's eyes were slightly red, and she said leisurely: "I thought that the rich kids who grew up in a wealthy family like your Lin family would only have a playful and impulsive mentality towards girls like us who have no money, no ability, and no background, so I have been avoiding, avoiding your brother's pursuit... But then, I met you... You lived the way I wanted to live. In my eyes, you are lively, brave, cheerful and smart. I began to change my view of you, and began to slowly, slowly understand you, and gradually changed my cognition and opinion of you. Only then did I realize that it turned out that... I was too one-sided. You are all good boys and girls. So, I began to accept your brother step by step and slowly opened a layer of my heart to him. Perhaps, in a subtle way, I have long been accustomed to your brother's existence. I accepted Lin Xining with trust and stopped avoiding him. I also began to face my own heart. My feelings for him... may have changed from that vague affection to a kind of love."
Zhong Keqing's voice was very low, but Lin Xining, who was standing outside the window, still caught it clearly. A look of joy appeared on his face, but he resisted the urge to rush in and continued to stand where he could just hear the conversation between the two people in the house.
"So sister-in-law, what I want to ask is, if Zhong Kewen also likes my elder brother, will you give my elder brother away like a toy, or will you stick to your position and stick to your bottom line? Sister-in-law, there are some things that cannot be paid for with excessive doting as the price of the compliment of being a tolerant and generous sister." Lin Xiaoqi spoke.
Sure enough, Zhong Keqing was stunned after hearing these words, then smiled and waved his hands, saying indifferently: "Xiao Qi, please don't make such jokes. This kind of joke is not allowed. How could my sister..."
Lin Xiaoqi pursed her lips and smiled sweetly, "Sister-in-law, everything in this world cannot be too absolute, especially the matter of feelings, which is even more uncertain..."
"If that's the case, then I... then I will definitely not let her take it away. She can have anything else she wants, but she can never touch me!" Zhong Keqing spoke in a decisive tone, and her originally pretty face suddenly showed a hint of firmness. Her resolute look really surprised Lin Xiaoqi. She had already prepared to persuade Zhong Keqing again, but she didn't expect that Zhong Keqing would be so insistent on the relationship between Lin Xining and her.
Lin Xiaoqi suppressed her smile, raised her eyebrows at Zhong Keqing and said, "Okay, if that's the case, then I can make a decision. However, this is both your decision and my brother's decision."
Lin Xiaoqi took out his cell phone, typed a lot of words on it, and then sent them out quickly.
"Xiaoqi...you..." Zhong Keqing looked at Lin Xiaoqi's series of words and actions that made her confused, and couldn't help but ask.
Lin Xiaoqi had a faint smile on her lips. She swiped the screen, handed the phone to Zhong Keqing, and then lowered her voice and said slowly: "Sister-in-law, today I will teach you a lesson. You must remember that not all people you are willing to be devoted to and willing to think hard about will be willing to be devoted to you and think hard about you in return." Lin Xiaoqi was still smiling when she said this, but there was a darker color in her eyes when she looked at Zhong Keqing. Her words rang in Zhong Keqing's ears, "Sister-in-law... no matter whether she is the one or not, you have to take a good look at her and don't be soft-hearted..."
Zhong Keqing was a little stunned and took the phone blankly.
