Lin Jing'an's lips moved for a long time before he found his voice again and said, "Of course there's another reason."
"This character is indeed Xi, but it's not the most common Xi. It's the Xi character from the ancient calendar, representing Xi, the god of the sun and the moon, that is... Xihe."
Ignoring the surprised or puzzled looks of the crowd, Lin Jing'an walked towards Xie Xihe step by step with trembling fingertips, and finally stopped two steps away from her.
His gaze swept across her face inch by inch, finally landing on those extremely unfamiliar yet faintly familiar eyes. His voice trembled slightly: "It's really you."
Xie Xihe suppressed his emotions and smiled at him: "Long time no see."
It’s really been too long.
Lin Jing'an's eyes, which had always been calm, kept shaking, with tears welling up in them.
Such an obvious abnormality was noticeable to everyone, and they all looked at each other in bewilderment.
Even Sheng Huanan's face was filled with confusion.
After a pause, he couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Lin, this... you and Xihe?"
Lin Jing'an came back to his senses and first glanced at Xie Xihe. Looking at her face, which was as young and beautiful as ever, he was not sure how to introduce the relationship between them.
Just as Lin Jing'an was deliberating, Xie Bowen suddenly stood up from his seat and said, "My little Xi was ill when she was young. After she recovered, I took her to the mountains to recuperate for a while. That's when we met Mr. Lin. Xiao Xi studied calligraphy with him for a while."
Turning to Mr. Lin, he smiled and said, "It's been more than ten years since we last met. Mr. Lin is still as elegant as ever."
This was actually the first time Lin Jing'an met Xie Bowen, but after hearing what he just said and looking at Xie Xihe, he immediately suppressed his emotions and smiled, nodding at him and saying, "Mr. Xie too."
He made no secret of his admiration and said, "Xihe is the most talented younger generation in calligraphy that I have ever met. He only studied with me for a few days before he showed signs of talent. After they left, I felt regretful for a long time that I was not able to take Xihe under my tutelage."
He glanced at the calligraphy on the left, his eyes filled with even more emotion: "But now it seems that I'm lucky I didn't keep him here, otherwise I might have taught him bad things."
"Xihe's calligraphy is far better than mine when I was young!"
"I am not worthy of being her teacher."
The word "unworthy" caused a huge uproar in the banquet hall, and everyone's eyes were filled with disbelief!
Who is Lin Jingan?
The number one calligrapher in modern China!
A master in calligraphy!
He is the idol of all calligraphy lovers and calligraphers!
Over the years, how many people have wanted to learn calligraphy from him, and how many people have tried every possible way to get just one copy!
But he only has two registered disciples so far, not a single direct disciple!
Even though he is now eighty years old, he still attracts countless young people!
If even he is not worthy, who else is?
If someone else said this at this moment, no matter who it was, everyone would burst out laughing and then sneer at him.
But now that it was Lin Jingan himself who said this, no one could laugh anymore.
Everyone's eyes looking at Xie Xihe changed, shining brightly!
To receive such an evaluation from Mr. Lin can only mean that Xie Xihe’s attainments in calligraphy are higher and more powerful than they imagined!
Even her future achievements may not be lower than Mr. Lin’s!
This is definitely the highest honor!
For a moment, the heads of the major families all had a pensive look in their eyes.
Speaking of which, this Miss Xie is already nineteen years old, but it seems that there has been no news of her engagement?
Before, Xie Xihe had always been regarded as "the unlearned young lady Xie". The Xie family was not a very prosperous family, and Mr. Xie was old, so few people considered proposing to the Xie family.
But I don't know when it started, the situation seems to have completely changed...
Although Mr. Xie is still of this age, he has become younger and younger and more radiant over the past period of time. Even if he says that he is only fifty years old, some people will believe it. His mental state is quite good!
If nothing unexpected happens, there will be no problem living another 20 or 30 years!
Luo's Pharmaceuticals, which was once as famous as Xie's Pharmaceuticals, suddenly collapsed, and the Luo father and son were imprisoned. However, Xie's invited the God of Alchemy and even obtained the sales rights of the panacea. It can be said that it has been the most popular company in this period of time!
Putting all these aside, let’s talk about Xie Xihe himself.
She has stunning looks and extraordinary temperament. I heard that she has been admitted to China's top Dawn Light Academy and will soon represent China in the international elite competition.
He has superb calligraphy skills, and now he has received such high praise from Mr. Lin. His value will definitely rise rapidly!
The only flaw is her status as a celebrity in the entertainment industry.
But it doesn't matter. With her family background, no one would dare to force her to abide by the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry. As long as she is clean, that's enough.
When the time comes, I can just quit the circle and it won’t have any impact at all.
She is definitely the perfect candidate for daughter-in-law (grandson)!
Many people started to think about it.
Compared to other people who had different thoughts, the Song family was completely angry and unbelievable.
Song Yi never imagined that the people he invited and the fuss he created to build momentum for his daughter would actually help Xie Xihe in the end!
He is making wedding dresses for others!
What's going on with Lin Jingan? Didn't he come here for his Yan Xi? Why did he end up in front of Xie Xihe?!
Thinking of this, Song Yi couldn't bear it any longer. He took a step forward and said, "Mr. Lin, you said before that my Yan Xi's calligraphy is very elegant and will become a great talent if cultivated. So you came all the way here today. Did you promise to accept my Yan Xi as your disciple?"
Song Yanxi was still embarrassed about having made a mistake in writing the character "曦", and was also shocked that the calligraphy was actually written by Xie Xihe. Why had she never known that Xie Xihe had such beautiful handwriting?
I couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry.
But she knew very well that her best choice at the moment was to remain silent and let the matter of misreading the spelling pass.
But she didn't expect that her not-so-smart father would actually take the initiative to approach her and... even mentioned the matter of taking him as a disciple!
If it were in the past, even she would be happy for a while to be accepted as a disciple by Lin Jing'an, but at this moment she only felt embarrassed... and vaguely humiliated.
Song Yanxi's pretty face flushed red, and she immediately wanted to go forward and pull Song Yi back.
But before she could make a move, Song Yi spoke again, saying, "It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. Since the old gentleman and Yan Xi are here, and there are so many people to witness it, why don't I have someone bring the incense table and perform the apprenticeship ceremony right away?"
