Unaware that the flower tea she sent had spread rumors about Lin Nanxu, Qingyin happily munched on the peaches her cheap older brother had given her, holding a storybook in her hand, and lazily reclining on a chaise lounge, enjoying a massage from lilies.
In the afternoon, Lin's father called him and forced him to stop his leisurely vacation.
Seeing the servant who was completely stunned by the message, Qingyin gave Xianglian a look. Xianglian immediately understood, stuffed the wrapped purse into the servant's hand, and smiled:
"Alright, our young lady understands and will be here shortly. You should go and inform the master."
The servant, who was completely stunned by Qingyin's stunning beauty, listened pitifully to Xianglian's long string of words before returning to the front garden of the East Courtyard in a daze.
"Master and Miss will be here soon, but..." Lin Zerui, who was chatting happily with his students and his most favored son, didn't notice the strange expression and tone of the servant he had sent to fetch his eldest daughter. He casually waved his hand to signal the servant to leave and continued talking to the students who had come to the Lin residence.
The only one who noticed the servant's strange expression was Lin Nanxu, who had a cold demeanor. He frowned slightly for a moment, then quickly concealed it.
What happened to Lin Qingqing that caused this servant to have such an expression?
Lin Nanxu lowered his brows slightly, no longer looking at the retreating servant, and quietly listened to the three nominal students who had come from Lin's father secretly trying to curry favor with him.
His gaze lingered almost imperceptibly on the son-in-law chosen by Lin's father.
Chen Anping was steady and of average talent. In the past, Lin Nanxu would have appreciated him, but today, the thought that this handsome young man was the fiancé chosen by Lin's father made Lin Nanxu dislike him no matter how she looked at him.
The man who promised himself to her was of ordinary appearance, weak-willed, and quiet; he was hardly worthy of her.
Lin Nanxu thought critically, his gaze turning somewhat cold as he looked at Chen Anping.
Chen Anping, who was being stared at, keenly noticed Lin Nanxu's cold and sharp gaze. He raised his face with a confused look, wondering how he had offended his idol and future brother-in-law.
Looking at Chen Anping's honest face, Chen Chenxing, who had dragged Zhang Xing and others closer, secretly gave him a smug look.
Ha, so what if he becomes the teacher's son-in-law in the future? He has a mouth but doesn't know how to flatter, so he'll probably be useless in the future. A hint of disdain flashed in Chen Chenxing's eyes as she secretly cursed Chen Anping.
Who knows, Chen Anping might end up marrying an ugly, shrewish village girl, and he'll have to stay with her for the rest of his life!
Zhang Xinghe, who had previously been unwilling to come, now had his eyes light up at the thought of Chen Chenxing and Chen Anping's ulterior motives.
It was truly wonderful to meet the noble young master Lin Nanxu at the Lin residence. Heaven knows that young master Lin had previously discussed teaching with the students from the north, displaying remarkable insight and making several great scholars nod in approval. This made many people idolize young master Lin, and Zhang Xinghe, who was striving to learn from his idol, stared at Lin Nanxu with bright eyes.
"Young Master Lin, I have read your article paying tribute to the students of the North. It is truly excellent! It is so admirable," Zhang Xinghe said excitedly.
Lin Nanxu nodded slightly, "You flatter me. You can study hard in the future."
"Mhm." Receiving affirmation from Lin Nanxu, a popular idol among students, Zhang Xinghe felt like he had been injected with chicken blood. He couldn't wait to go back and study hard for three nights and six days straight, so that he could immediately improve his studies and let his idol see his progress.
Seeing Zhang Xinghe receive a response from Lin Nanxu, Chen Chenxing gritted his teeth and thought jealously: Ha, he came here and overlooked Zhang Xinghe's cleverness. He's trying to curry favor with the young master Lin Nanxu, whose future is sure to be bright. He really is scheming. No, he can't let this cunning villain get all the benefits.
Chen Chenxing, who had become nervous, forced herself to join the conversation and looked at Lin Nanxu: "Young Master Lin, I also read your article. I think your views on... in that article are really novel and admirable."
Compared to Zhang Xinghe's sincere and heartfelt praise, Lin Nanxu completely ignored Chen Chenxing's superficial and uncritical boasting.
Not everyone can elicit a response from him.
Chenchenxing froze.
Chen Xing, who had cursed Lin Nanxu's arrogance and contempt for others several times in her heart, forced a smile and continued to add a sentence from time to time.
Seeing the harmonious atmosphere where the students and his eldest son got along well, Mr. Lin nodded in satisfaction.
As for Lin Nanxu's indifference, hasn't the eldest son always been like that?
Lin Zerui didn't take it seriously at all and ignored it.
At this moment, Qingyin also arrived.
A gentle, melodious female voice broke the lively atmosphere, plunging the scene into an eerie silence.
"Father, your daughter has arrived." The extremely pleasant female voice immediately attracted the group of men standing in the garden.
The group turned their heads curiously, and were completely dumbfounded at the sight.
Lin Zerui, who turned his head in a daze, wondered for a moment if he was having a beautiful dream, so that he could see a stunningly beautiful woman with the voice of his eldest daughter standing gracefully in the distance.
Lin Zerui called out in a daze, "Qingqing...?"
The beautiful and refined young girl nodded and responded, "Father."
Lin Zerui pinched his thigh hard, the physical stimulation overflowing from the corner of his eye, proving the reality of the situation. Lin's father's eyes suddenly lit up.
His eldest daughter recovered and looked like this... It's truly... a blessing from heaven!
