Chapter 520: Seeing a Ghost
Lin Fugui stared at Li Jinxing with wide eyes. Meeting his mocking smile and cold gaze, he shuddered subconsciously.
Ghost? This old house has been lived in for generations. Could it really be haunted?
"No...impossible...why would I see a ghost in broad daylight?" Although Lin Fugui said this, his face had turned pale with fear, and he looked at his sister and father for help.
However, Lin Xiaoxiao was still puzzled as to why her elder brother was plotting against her. However, his father had already lost his patience with his son. Upon hearing his question, he snorted coldly, "Who said it's impossible? There's a mass grave nearby!"
“…” Lin Fugui felt his hands and feet go cold and he turned around and left in a hurry.
"Wait, you framed our Second Young Master and now you want to run away?" Butler Owen shouted and was about to step forward to stop him, but was stopped by Li Jinxing with a wave of his hand.
"Second Young Master?" Owen frowned and asked in confusion.
Li Jinxing waved his hand and said with a faint smile: "Let him go. A scourge like him, if he stays in the Lin family, not only will he be useless, but will only cause trouble..."
The butler Owen then gave a low hum and left it at that. Li Jinxing then turned to the seated Lin's father and said, "Old Lin, I'm sorry for scaring your son away in this way, but he really went a bit too far this time. I rarely come back, and he schemed against me like this, and almost ruined his sister's reputation!"
"Yes, it's better for a beast like him to go away!"
Father Lin didn't dare to blame Li Jinxing. He quickly stood up and said with a wry smile, "Second Young Master, it's my fault for not educating my son well. I've brought you such troubles. I apologize to you!"
After he said this, he was about to bow and apologize to Li Jinxing, but was stopped by Li Jinxing.
"No need. I know your life has not been easy. The insect pests in the orchard can be solved soon, and the yield will be high in the next few years!" Li Jinxing comforted Lin's father with a faint smile.
"Thank you, Second Young Master. Thank you, Second Young Master—" Father Lin nodded repeatedly with emotion, and was about to pull his daughter Lin Xiaoxiao to thank the Second Young Master.
"Okay, it's getting late. You and your daughter should both go to bed early. I should go back too!"
Li Jinxing smiled faintly and stretched out his hand towards Nie Yao. Nie Yao, who had been silent all this time, obediently handed over her hand, and the two of them left the room hand in hand.
Butler Owen also told Lin's father to remember to tell him if he had any difficulties, and followed Li Jinxing and Nie Yao to leave the Lin family together.
Father Lin and Lin Xiaoxiao hurried out of the house to see them out, and stood at the door and kept waving goodbye to them.
Only after watching their figures gradually disappear into the darkness did Lin's father and Lin Xiaoxiao withdraw their gaze, and the father and daughter looked at each other in silence.
"Dad, that..." Lin Xiaoxiao spoke first, and asked cautiously, "Who is that girl next to the Second Young Master?"
Father Lin was stunned for a moment, shook his head and answered blankly: "I don't know either, I haven't seen it before..."
"I see that the Second Young Master rarely shows that kind of intimate and gentle expression to anyone, and that girl is beautiful and has an extraordinary demeanor..." Lin Xiaoxiao murmured in a low voice, unable to hide her envy in her words.
Hearing his daughter say this, Father Lin couldn't help but look up at her and asked hesitantly, "Xiaoxiao, you don't really have any illusions about the Second Young Master, do you? You know, the gap between our family backgrounds is too big..."
"Dad, I understand!" Before Lin's father finished speaking, Lin Xiaoxiao nodded and said with a wry smile.
