[Chapter 275 Lan Weiyu's Disgust]
Today is Guan Xiaoxiao's birthday. She held a birthday party at the Baima Club and specially invited Lin Yin to attend, although Guan Xiaoxiao said that it would be fine as long as she showed up and there was no need to bring any gifts.
But Lin Yin couldn't really go empty-handed, so after get off work she went to a nearby shopping mall alone to pick out a gift.
Guan Xiaoxiao likes jewelry. She walked into a luxury store, picked out the latest necklace according to her preferences, paid, and walked out of the store.
I ran into an acquaintance.
Seeing her, Jiang Yirou smiled faintly, walked slowly towards her and greeted her warmly.
"What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Lin Yin's attitude was indifferent and she just hummed.
Jiang Yirou looked at the exquisite shopping bag in her hand, then looked at the name of the store, and smiled, "Are you here to buy jewelry? Where is Brother Huo? Isn't he with you?"
Lin Yin did not answer. "I have something else to do. I won't talk any more. I'll be leaving first."
As soon as she lifted her feet off the ground, her wrist was grabbed and she heard Jiang Yirou's somewhat aggrieved voice.
"Lin Yin, is there any misunderstanding between us? I can feel that you seem to have a lot of opinions about me. If you are dissatisfied with me, you can tell me directly."
Lin Yin's eyes fell on the wrist that Jiang Yirou was holding, and she frowned, "I have no problem with you, I really have something to do and I have to leave, can you let go?"
Jiang Yirou didn't let go and insisted, "I think we need to talk. If there is any misunderstanding, just talk it out. I really want to be friends with you. I'm very sad that you always treat me so coldly."
“…”
It sounds chilling.
If I become friends with Jiang Yirou, I might not even know how I died.
No matter how much Lin Yin was thinking, she would not show it on her face. Her expression remained calm. "I said, I didn't misunderstand you. If you want to talk, we can do it another day. I don't have time today."
After saying that, she pulled her hand back. Because it was held tightly, she had to use some force when pulling it back.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she pulled her hand back, Jiang Yirou fell to the ground.
"ah--"
Jiang Yirou covered her ankle, her face pale with pain, as if she had sprained her foot.
Lin Yin was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and wanted to help her up.
At this time, Lan Weiyu walked over and saw her daughter fall to the ground, so she quickened her pace.
"Yiro, what's wrong?" Lan Weiyu hurriedly helped Jiang Yirou up, her face full of concern.
Jiang Yirou was in so much pain that tears welled up in her eyes. She looked at her foot and said, "Mom, I sprained my foot. It hurts so much."
Lan Weiyu bent down to check her daughter's ankle. It was swollen and looked serious.
"How could such a high-end person sprain his ankle? Just bear with it, daughter. I will call the driver to take you to the hospital."
Jiang Yirou glanced at Lin Yin and forced a smile, "Mom, I fell accidentally."
Her eyes were caught by Lan Weiyu, who suddenly looked at Lin Yin, "Did you push Yirou?"
Lin Yin was about to explain that it wasn't her when she heard Jiang Yirou's weak voice.
"Mom, it has nothing to do with Lin Yin. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have held Lin Yin's hand and kept chatting with her. When she pulled away, I didn't stand firmly, and my high heels were too high, so I accidentally fell. It has nothing to do with Lin Yin. Don't blame her."
Lan Weiyu became even angrier after hearing this. The usually gentle woman looked at Lin Yin with disgust.
"Are you so narrow-minded? Just because Yirou is Jingze's ex, you can't tolerate her and look down on her? Don't think that you can do whatever you want in the capital just because Huo Jingze is backing you up. Yirou is the daughter of the Jiang family, not some random person who can be bullied. If you do it again, don't blame me for not letting you off easily."
Lin Yin was stunned.
She didn't know why, but when she saw Lan Weiyu's disgusted eyes, her heart suddenly ached and hurt.
She opened her mouth to explain, but all the words were stuck in her throat and no sound came out.
Jiang Yirou pulled Lan Weiyu's arm and explained anxiously, "Mom, this is really not Lin Yin's fault. I didn't stand firmly. Please don't talk like that. It's too rude."
The more she defended Lin Yin, the more Lan Weiyu felt it was not worth it. "You are just too kind. Mom has told you so many times to change your people-pleasing personality and stop being so considerate to everyone. Some people won't appreciate it."
After saying that, he glanced at Lin Yin meaningfully.
The disgust in his eyes grew instead of diminishing.
She seldom misjudges people, and Lin Yin is one of them. She had wanted her two daughters to be friends with Lin Yin before, but now it seems she should give up.
Even if she is Ni Lu's apprentice, he cannot let his daughter suffer.
The Jiang family values family ties and is very protective of their children.
The same goes for Lan Weiyu.
Jiang Yirou held Lin Yin's hand, her eyes full of apology, "I'm injured and my mother cares about me too much, so she said that, don't take it to heart."
"Okay, tell her what you want to say. The driver is here. Hurry up and go to the hospital with mom. Your foot can't be delayed. What if there are any sequelae?"
The driver came over just in time, and he and Lan Weiyu helped Jiang Yirou down the elevator, one on each side.
Jiang Yirou turned around and looked at Lin Yin, still looking apologetic.
Lin Yin stood there, watching their backs as they left, in silence for a long time.
Seeing how much Lan Weiyu doted on Jiang Yirou, she felt complicated and found it ironic.
If one day Lan Weiyu knew the truth, and knew that her adopted daughter, whom she loved so much, had killed her own daughter, how would she feel...
Lin Yin looked at the busy first floor of the mall with a bewildered look on her face.
Lan Weiyu hated her more and more, and the other people in the Jiang family were probably not much different.
If she told the truth, I'm afraid no one would believe her.
The cell phone in the bag rang. Lin Yin looked and saw that it was Huo Jingze calling.
She calmed herself down and answered the phone, and a man's pleasant and attractive voice came from the receiver.
"Have you finished shopping? I'm already outside the mall. Can I come in to find you?"
"No need, I've already bought it and will be out soon, just wait for me in the car."
"OK."
Afterwards, Lin Yin and Huo Jingze went to the White Horse Club together. Led by the waiter, they came to the private room. As soon as they opened the door, they saw Guan Xiaoxiao sitting in the middle of the sofa. She was wearing a pink princess dress and a crown on her head, and was surrounded by a group of people.
When Guan Xiaoxiao saw Lin Yin, she immediately lifted her skirt and ran towards her, holding her arm affectionately, her beautiful eyes smiling into crescents.
"You're finally here, come in with me." Guan Xiaoxiao held Lin Yin's arm, eager to share her joy, "Let me tell you, Wen Qingbai helped me decorate the venue for my birthday. Look, he also ordered the cake. Isn't it beautiful!"
The box was filled with Guan Xiaoxiao's friends. The upper-class circle was so small that everyone's friends were connected to each other. Even if they were not familiar with each other, they basically knew each other.
So there was no need for special introduction. Huo Jingze nodded to everyone, then sat next to Wen Qingbai and bumped him with his shoulder.
"Didn't you say you wanted to make things clear? Why are you celebrating someone's birthday?"
