Chapter 168: Take One Step at a Time
The next morning, Lin Shutang went to Chen's house with gifts for Zhang Wanxin and Chen Runling.
The little girl looked at Lin Shutang coming to her door with a paper bag with a princess pattern printed on the cover, and her face was filled with uncontrollable surprise.
He ran to call the adults diligently: "Mom, Teacher Xiaolin is here."
Zhang Wanxin happened to be in the kitchen with the nanny. When she heard the sound, she washed her hands and came out. Seeing Lin Shutang coming, she enthusiastically pulled her to sit on the sofa.
"I was in a hurry last time and didn't have time to talk to you properly."
Zhang Wanxin was talking about Mr. Li’s funeral.
Because of Li Guangsong's affair, the relationship between the Chen family and the Li family has been very strained in recent years, but when Mr. Li passed away, the Chen family still went for Li Yansheng's sake.
"Yansheng is such a jerk! He didn't even bother to take you for a stroll."
Lin Shutang smiled and said, "Don't blame him. I came back on my own initiative. I'm about to prepare for my graduation thesis defense, and I have to come back to revise it."
After finishing the conversation, Lin Shutang took out the gifts he bought for the mother and daughter.
Inevitably, there was another round of polite compliments.
Chen Runling was very happy as she received two gifts, one bought by Lin Shutang and the other bought by Li Yansheng.
She held the skirt in her left hand and her miniature clay doll in her right hand, smiling from ear to ear with joy.
"Mom, let Xiao Xiaoling sleep with me tonight. Also, I'm going to school in a princess dress tomorrow."
The skirt is a princess dress of a cartoon character. From an adult's perspective, it may not be appreciated, but from a child's perspective, it is just right.
"good."
Seeing her mother agreed, the little girl looked at Lin Shutang again: "Aunt, didn't my cousin come back with you?"
She spoke so quickly that Zhang Wanxin had no time to stop her. She said apologetically, "Children are ignorant, Shutang, please don't take it to heart."
Lin Shutang smiled awkwardly: "No."
We're not married yet, so it's really inappropriate to call her that.
At around eleven o'clock, Lin Shutang suggested leaving.
Zhang Wanxin asked to stay for dinner, and she said she had an appointment with Jiang Qinyuan, but she turned her down.
When I walked out of the Chen family villa, Jiang Qinyuan had already parked the car at the door.
The fluorescent green sports car was very eye-catching. Lin Shutang had never seen her drive one before. "Is it new?"
"Although I'm a wealthy woman, I can't afford a car of this price yet." She held a lollipop in her mouth and took one from the center console while speaking. "It's my brother's car."
Lin Shutang took it and handed the gift in his hand to her.
"What?" Jiang Qinyuan opened it in confusion. Seeing what was inside, she was so surprised that she hugged Lin Shutang and gave her a big kiss: "Sister, I love you so much."
The restaurant they went to was booked by Lin Shutang. When they arrived, Jiang Qinyuan was amazed: "Women in love are just different. You've never been such a good eater before! Li Yansheng took you here for a date before!"
Lin Shutang smiled lightly: "It's not a date."
Jiang Qinyuan waved her hand: "It doesn't matter, as long as you come with him."
During the meal, Jiang Qinyuan gossiped about Lin Shutang's experiences in Hong Kong City, and Lin Shutang answered the questions one by one, choosing the ones that were not sensitive.
After listening to this, Jiang Qinyuan sighed softly, "The Li family is just like a TV drama. So melodramatic and full of gossip."
After she finished speaking, as if she remembered something, she stopped joking and became serious. She spoke tentatively and even cautiously: "Shutang, can I ask you another question?"
If it was an ordinary question, she wouldn't have such an expression. Lin Shutang thought that this question was probably related to her and Li Yansheng.
"What are you and Li Yansheng planning to do from now on?"
As Lin Shutang's friend, she naturally hopes to see the two of them get married, but the possibility of this is too small.
Jiang Qinyuan, despite not paying much attention to business news, knew Li Guangsong well enough to know he wasn't someone easy to deal with. Even Su Yuwei hadn't been able to actually marry him yet, largely because he despised her status as too low-brow.
Otherwise, given the power of the Li family, if he really wanted to divorce, it would not be possible for Chen Ke to refuse.
Lin Shutang remained silent for a while before he took a sip of the tea on the table. "I don't know, let's take it one step at a time!"
In fact, on the day she went to the Li family for dinner, she vaguely felt that the content of the conversation between Li Yansheng and Li Guangsong should be related to her, and the conversation was probably not very pleasant.
