Chapter 154 You Are Really Not That Important
Gu Yanli's bony hands held the bun that she had tied up after washing her face. He hooked his fingers on the black rubber band and gently took it down. In an instant, the black hair spread over Lin Yuan's back like a waterfall. Against the black background, the red talisman on the man's arm was even more enchanting and dazzling.
"If you forget it, it means it's not important. Don't get entangled with unimportant people and things." The man's voice was low and eardrum-stiging.
Lin Yuan looked at the enchanting red talisman on the arm.
Her long, curly eyelashes trembled slightly.
"You have nothing to do today?" She looked at the man behind her through the mirror.
"I have to go to the construction site in the afternoon. I talked about work with Fang Jinshen until two in the morning last night, and we finally finalized the design of the auditorium. Bo Feng will come over in two days, and he wants to have dinner with us. Do you want to go?" Gu Yanli leaned over and gave Lin Yuan a light kiss on the top of her head after he finished speaking.
Lin Yuan pursed her lips: "How is Grandpa doing recently?"
During the years that Fang Hui and she lived in Chengdu, the person they cared about most in their hearts was Grandpa Gu. They could see that this old man loved them from the bottom of his heart.
Every time they think of this old man, they both think of their grandmother.
They thought the old man must be very disappointed in them because they left without telling him and hadn't contacted him in all these years.
"Grandpa is still in good health. After you left, he had a quarrel with Gu Yanchen, and then he went to Lingyin Temple to meditate in anger. I have been there a few times. Although my nose is not a nose and my eyes are not eyes, I am in good spirits."
Hearing that the old man was in good health, Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
She really hopes that the old man can live a long life.
Lin Yuan found it cute when she thought of the old man holding his cane and glaring at Gu Yanchen. She knew without thinking that if they said they were arguing with Gu Yanchen, it must be the old man scolding Gu Yanchen unilaterally.
"Let's go downstairs and eat." Lin Yuan stood up.
Gu Yanli took her hand and put his fingers between hers and interlocked them with hers.
Lin Yuan paused: "I will go."
Gu Yanli raised his thin lips: "Yeah."
The two went downstairs.
"Miss Lin, Mr. Gu has prepared lunch. Do you want to eat now?" Seeing the two of them coming down from upstairs together, the servants felt it was a feast for the eyes. Their Miss Lin and Mr. Gu were truly a perfect match made in heaven.
Lin Man'er in the living room heard the servant calling "Master Gu". She suddenly looked up at the stairs, only to see a tall and handsome man coming down from upstairs. It was Gu Yanli... the senior she had secretly loved for many years just by seeing his photo.
She couldn't help showing the shyness that only girls have.
Lin Yuan noticed her gaze and turned his head to look towards the living room.
The servant said, "Ms. Lin, this is Miss Lin Maner, who has been waiting for you here all morning."
Lin Maner... Lin Yuan then remembered what the servant said when he knocked on the door in the morning. She looked at Lin Maner. She didn't know the plot of the original novel, so she really didn't know whether the Lin family really had an illegitimate daughter who was wandering outside. But since she was here, she naturally had to meet her.
"Go to the kitchen first and see if there is any steamed egg that I like to eat." She retracted her gaze, raised her chin slightly, and ordered Gu Yanli around in a somewhat arrogant manner.
The sound was not loud, but Lin Maner in the living room could hear it.
She clenched her fingers slightly, feeling very uncomfortable in her heart. Even though Lin Yuan was the daughter of the Lin family, she had no right to act arrogantly in front of her senior. The senior was a child of destiny and a legend in their eyes.
She secretly felt that the senior would definitely reject Lin Yuan.
Unexpectedly, the man said in an indulgent tone: "I'll go and see it right away."
Lin Maner's expression suddenly changed, and she looked with almost astonishment at her senior Gu Yanli, who had an extremely tall image in her mind.
"Tell them to put more minced meat."
"knew."
The man's eyes, which had been filled with aloofness on the school photo wall, now looked at Lin Yuan, who was being spoiled towards him, with unusual tenderness and indulgence.
Lin Maner almost bit her lips white.
Lin Yuan said all this and then walked towards the living room with her slender legs. She sat down in her special seat and the servant naturally brought her the milk that had been prepared long ago.
The milk was fresh, having been airlifted in early in the morning. They had cooked it early in the morning and were just waiting for Lin Yuan to wake up so she could drink it.
I saw the servants busying around.
Then she thought about how she had been here all morning and how cold the servants were to her.
Lin Maner felt particularly uncomfortable in her heart. She subconsciously felt that this was a show of power from Lin Yuan, telling her that even though she was the daughter of the Lin family who had been wandering outside, she was no match for Lin Yuan!
"Are you looking for me?" Lin Yuan asked after he felt comfortable while drinking milk.
Lin Maner took a deep breath and said, "Ms. Lin, I am your father's daughter who has been living away from home."
She overheard this news from her mother while she was on the phone with someone. She blamed her mother in her heart. She was obviously the daughter of the Lin family, but she kept it a secret, causing her to lose many excellent resources, such as the opportunity to get close to her senior Gu Yanli.
If she had the identity of Miss Lin, then maybe she could be the one to marry the senior, as long as she was good enough and she had the confidence that she would be better than Lin Yuan.
She checked Lin Yuan's academic qualifications, but he was just an ordinary undergraduate, so how could he be compared with her, a graduate student?
So she was very confident and went straight to find Lin Yuan.
"So?" Lin Yuan raised her eyebrows and looked at Lin Man'er with some surprise. "You are my father's daughter who wandered away. You should go to my father or mother. Why did you come to me?"
Lin Maner also had her own little plans in mind.
She knew that she had been away for so many years, and no one from the Lin family had ever come to her to seek ancestry. It must have been Mrs. Lin who had stopped her. If she rashly went to the Lin family, there would be only one result waiting for her, and that was that she would never be able to return to the Lin family.
But it’s different with Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan is spoiled by the Lin family, and she must be barbaric and unreasonable. She must feel unbalanced when she finds out that her father, who loves her so much, has an illegitimate daughter like her.
Then she would go home to find her family to confirm. Once Lin Yuan made a fuss about her being the Lin family's illegitimate daughter, people would naturally take her seriously. Then she could act more considerate and sensible than Lin Yuan, and her father would naturally favor her and take her back to his side.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yuan's reaction was completely different from what she expected. She was not surprised or made a fuss. Instead, she asked her back calmly.
Lin Maner thought that Lin Yuan still had some brains.
But so what? She was just an undergraduate. Maybe it was a graduation certificate made by the Lin family for Lin Yuan to avoid being embarrassed.
She is a graduate student!
"I know what you are thinking. You want to use me to go to the Lin family and make trouble, to ask my father and mother for clarification, and to make your affairs known to the entire Lin family. This way, your name will have a chance to appear in the Lin family, and you can also take this opportunity to have a ticket back to the Lin family."
Lin Yuan did not wait for Lin Man'er's answer. She said in a soft and pleasant voice, "It's just that Miss Lin Man'er, your plan has failed. Whether you are my father's illegitimate daughter or not is not very important to me."
Not important!
These few words hit Lin Maner's proud self-esteem hard.
She looked at Lin Yuan with an unconvinced look. Even if she was not asleep yet, she was still very beautiful, pure and almost charming, especially her eyes, which looked pure and yet indifferent.
She was leaning against the sofa like that. Against the black sofa, her skin looked glowing white, and even her hair exuded a sense of elegance that came from being carefully nurtured. Lin Maner couldn't help but retract her fingertips.
She bit her lip.
Lin Yuan in front of her was so noble that she just wanted to destroy him.
Yes, destroy...
