On the way to the main house, Abil quickly explained to Li Lin what was going on.
However, Li Lin could see that even though she was born in the Philos family, she was still a little girl who knew nothing about the world, even more innocent than Orianna and Seraphine, and she felt nervous when talking to a stranger like him.
After a chaotic explanation, Li Lin managed to extract a general outline from Abir's story, and then summarized it based on his own knowledge and understanding:
Before the Evolution Day, Camille found Li Lin and returned to Ferros's house. Since she failed, she forced him to agree to make a Hextech core for Stevan so that Stevan could undergo the Hextech amplification transformation surgery.
Stevan didn't expect that his sister would fail. He was very angry about this and blamed Camille.
Camille was already in a bad mood after being beaten up by Li Lin, and coupled with Stevan's bad attitude, she couldn't help but quarrel with him on the spot.
Later, Camille basically became a different person. She almost never showed up at home, and she was acting mysteriously every day, and no one knew what she was doing.
Stevan did the same. He arranged for people to follow Li Lin and tried to send people to sneak into Gilaman's house to find an opportunity to spy on the process of his making the Hextech core.
Unfortunately, Li Lin was already building the defense system of the Jiraman Manor at that time. Combined with the intelligent computer and cameras, the Philos spy did not achieve his goal.
As Evolution Day approaches, Stevan witnesses Li Lin's new technology and his anticipation for the future at the conference. He becomes even more depressed and aggrieved, and becomes even more obsessed with the Hextech Core.
Later, Camille seemed to have discovered something and had another big quarrel with Stevan. Then she called Abir to her room every day and asked her to learn some knowledge that she shouldn't have learned.
For example, how to deal with human relationships, how to arrange family affairs, how to solve various major problems, etc.
Tonight, knowing that Stevan had sent his confidant Bonar to greet Li Lin and take him to visit Lanxun Manor, Camille also sent Abir to send Bonar away and let her bring Li Lin to see her.
Of course, most of the content here was made up by Li Lin himself.
If we were to summarize it simply based on Abir's description, it would be that my great-aunt and great-uncle had two arguments, which led to conflicts, and then my great-aunt began to demand that she study...
When we arrived at the main house, more servants were walking through the corridor.
Abil stopped acting like a child and started to imitate an adult with a stern face.
According to what she said before, this was Camille teaching her to show the seriousness of a "superior" in public.
But from Li Lin's observation, these servants seemed to be used to it.
Maybe in their opinion, Abir has found something interesting recently.
After all, she was just a naive girl of fourteen or fifteen years old...
There was less than half an hour left before the party started.
Li Lin and Abil climbed the stairs and soon reached the top floor of the main house.
After twisting and turning in the maze-like corridor, the two finally stopped in front of a very ordinary wooden door without even any carvings or decorations.
Boom boom boom——
Abir looked nervous. He stretched out his little hand and knocked on the door three times gently, then turned the handle carefully.
With a slight "creak" sound, she slowly pushed the door open.
Contrary to Li Lin's stereotyped expectations, Camille was holding a cup of tea and sitting in a very dim environment without any lights. The only light source was the blue light of the Hextech core on her body.
The room was extremely bright, with an electric chandelier hanging from the ceiling, and small table lamps of uniform style and exquisite workmanship placed on the surrounding tables.
Against the wall opposite the door, there were two chairs next to a simple and elegant table. Camille, dressed in a gray and white tuxedo, sat on one of the chairs, holding a teacup in her hand and taking a sip of tea.
Seeing Li Lin and Abir enter the house, Camille signaled her niece to lock the door, then asked Li Lin to sit on the chair next to her, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and pushed it opposite her.
"Let's have a cup of tea first."
"Thanks."
Li Lin thanked her without any politeness, walked straight to the seat opposite Camille and sat down. He picked up the teacup, blew away the hot steam, and took a sip.
Abir, who had just locked the door and turned around, saw the scene in front of him. He couldn't help but cover his mouth, his eyes widened, and he almost screamed out loud.
What... is going on?!
My great aunt has such a good relationship with Mr. Li Lin?
I was just complaining to Mr. Li Lin about my great-aunt forcing me to study...
Oh no, oh no, what should I do now?
Abir's little face gradually turned pale, and his heart was pounding so hard that it seemed like it was about to jump out of his throat.
But Li Lin and Camille's attention and topics were not on her at all.
"You're here after all." Camille looked at Li Lin drinking tea with her crystal blue electronic eyes and couldn't help but sigh.
Li Lin placed the exquisite teacup on the snow-white tray and raised an eyebrow in confusion: "Huh? Shouldn't I be here?"
"You really shouldn't have come..."
Camille looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"This is the invitation letter signed and sent to me by your brother, Patriarch Stevan. If I don't come, I'd be disrespectful."
Li Lin leaned back slightly on the chair, as if he treated this place as his own home, and seemed a little free and easy.
Moreover, Camille didn't care about his behavior.
Abir, who was standing by, felt like he was petrified, his mind went blank.
“This is a conspiracy.”
