Yan Xi tried hard to control herself, took a deep breath, washed her face, and went to the study to meet Old Master Lin.
Old Master Lin's study was quite large, and there were two servants waiting at the door. When he arrived, the servants opened the door for him and made a gesture of invitation: "Young Master, please."
"Yeah." Yan Xi nodded and walked in.
The layout of the study is similar to that of an ancient library, with rows of bookshelves filled with books, both ancient and modern.
As soon as he entered, an old voice came from inside: "I called you back this time to take you to Yanjing to meet the old ancestor. It has been eighteen years, and you have come of age. It is time to pay homage to him."
Yan Xi looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old man with gray hair, a long white beard, and wearing a retro robe standing next to the bookshelf of ancient books on the right.
Yan Xi walked over, bowed respectfully, and said, "Grandson Lin Yan Xi pays his respects to grandfather. Grandson will obey all arrangements made by grandfather."
Hearing this, Old Master Lin looked up at him, his eyes gazing at him nakedly from head to toe. His gaze was intensely aggressive, as if he was not looking at his grandson but admiring his own belongings. He seemed dissatisfied and frowned, saying, "You've lost weight. Eat more these few days."
Yan Xi slowly lowered his eyes, suppressed the discomfort and coldness in his heart, and said obediently: "Grandson will follow your instructions."
Old Master Lin retracted his gaze and lowered his head to read again. "Well, if you have nothing else to do, go out first. When your parents, uncle and aunt come back, you should go see them too. It's been a while since we last met, so spend some time with them."
"Yes, grandson, I'll take my leave." Yan Xi stepped back, turned around and regained his indifferent expression, with a hint of disgust in his eyes.
What era is it now? Why do we still have to go through so many formalities? I almost thought I was in ancient times.
In the evening, the entire Lin family gathered together, and the whole villa was bustling with activity.
When Yan Xi was pretending to deal with this group of people, a special person came.
This person is the original owner’s nominal cousin Lin Minghe.
He was the only one in the family who was late.
As soon as he came back, he was treated with all kinds of weirdness.
"Hey, isn't this Minghe? Why are you back so late?"
"Minghe is a big star in our family, and he's an award-winning actor. He must be very busy, so it's normal for him to be late."
“…”
Hearing the noise, the aunts and uncles surrounding Yan Xi all looked at him.
Yan Xi couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound out of curiosity.
But when that person's face appeared in his sight, Yan Xi was stunned.
He felt very familiar with it but couldn't remember it for a while.
This familiarity was not brought by the original owner himself, but was his own, a sense of familiarity that came from the depths of his memory.
Yan Xi stared at him, searching his memory.
Being ridiculed and forced to pretend to be nice, Lin Minghe seemed to have noticed Yan Xi's gaze. He tilted his head slightly and looked over. Their eyes met. The other party was stunned for a moment, with a slightly complicated look, and then walked towards him.
Lin Minghe moved closer and closer, and then stood in front of him. "How are you doing recently?"
Yan Xi looked at him, and scenes of yellowed memories flooded into his mind. His pupils suddenly shrank and his eyes widened slightly.
He remembered!
This Lin Minghe looks exactly like Wei Changchang, the subordinate of Li Yancheng whom he met in the fifth dimension!
Li Yancheng...
When Yan Xi thought of this person, his heart ached and it took him a long time to calm down.
Seeing him in a daze, Lin Minghe's expression became even more complicated. "I brought you the autograph you asked me to get last time."
As he said this, he pulled out a signed photo of a female celebrity from his pocket and handed it to him, "I hope you can keep it well."
"Oh oh." Yan Xi blinked and quickly came back to his senses, "Thank you, Fourth Brother."
Lin Minghe looked at him, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something but closed it again. "The autographed photo was hard to come by. Go back and take a closer look."
Upon hearing this, Yan Xi smelled an unusual scent and quickly put it away. The moment he put it in his pocket, he used his mental power to explore and saw two words hidden behind the autographed photo: Run.
Yan Xi paused suddenly and couldn't help but look at Lin Minghe again.
Seeing this, Lin Minghe realized something, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he turned and went somewhere else.
Yan Xi looked at him and his mind became active.
This Lin Minghe seems to know something.
He didn't have a good relationship with the original owner on weekdays, but he didn't expect that he would dare to take the risk to remind him at the critical moment. It can be seen that there is a reason why this person doesn't get along with the Lin family.
