It was the first time that Qu Lingyuan heard him speak such a long paragraph, and she nodded blankly.
Shu Jin brought the person into the house. Qu Lingyuan was holding the clothes to be changed in her hands. Her eyes were misty as she looked shyly at Shu Jin who was leaning against the dressing table.
"Master Jin, please step aside..."
Shu Jin had a wicked smile on his face, and he didn't leave the room. He just turned his back to her and said, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in you."
Pursing her lips, Qu Lingyuan ignored him. He didn't want to leave, and she didn't intend to chase him away. She carefully took off her clothes and started to change.
Hearing the rustling sound of fabric rubbing against each other behind her, Shu Jin pushed aside the loose hair on her forehead and looked at the small glass mirror on the dressing table with interest.
The mirror was wiped very clean, and could vaguely reflect half of the graceful figure of the woman behind him.
This girl is really not on guard.
Qu Lingyuan knew that Shujin was peeking because Yiling told her, but she didn't care.
Sooner or later we will be one of us anyway.
The cunning in her eyes was even greater than Shu Jin's, and at this moment, it was still unclear who was scheming against whom.
The two people, each with their own thoughts, came to Lin Shuangxue's house together. Qu Lingyuan knocked on the door, but Shujin did not go in.
Inside the house, Lin Shuangxue held Qu Lingyuan's hand, her expression gentle: "What happened today must have scared you."
Qu Lingyuan shook her head obediently, and the angle of her eyes softened. "It's okay. I have to thank the old lady for her words of advice."
"Just call me grandma. I really like you." Lin Shuangxue liked this well-behaved child more and more.
That young lady from the Chu family...what's her name?
Oh, Chu Xiaoer.
A few days ago, she always followed Shujin, and her gentle and considerate face was a bit annoying, and her old lady didn't like it.
Shujin is already twenty years old, and Chu Xiaoer is the only woman who can get close to him. Lin Shuangxue is anxious watching this.
Qu Lingyuan's expression of surprise flashed across her face. "Thank you so much... Grandma, for your high regard for me."
Lin Shuangxue frowned and disagreed with her: "This is not a compliment at all, don't belittle yourself."
"It's not that I'm belittling myself, it's just that people look down on my status. The young lady from the Chu family even targeted me for quite a while because of this." Qu Lingyuan didn't have any sad expression on her face, as if she was used to it.
Lin Shuangxue felt distressed when she saw this. She herself came from a poor family and was often looked down upon by others when she was young. In the end, she overcame many obstacles and married a good match, which enabled her to have such a wonderful life in her later years.
Therefore, she would never look down on any woman. Everyone has a hard time, so why make things difficult for them?
She couldn't help but stroke Qu Lingyuan's head. Suddenly remembering something, she asked, "Are you interested in Jin'er? Grandma will help you two get together."
Qu Lingyuan didn't expect her to be so proactive.
Shouldn't the normal scenario be that she and Shujin are in love with each other, while her family members try to obstruct them in every way possible?
After being stunned for a while, she waved her hands shyly: "Grandma, you're joking. How could Master Jin like me?"
Lin Shuangxue felt very disappointed. She looked at Qu Lingyuan's clean and fair face after she took off her stage makeup and sighed.
"Look at you. You're accused of being self-deprecating, yet you refuse to admit it. With such a beautiful face, it's a blessing for a man to marry you."
Qu Lingyuan shook her head. "Grandma, you're wrong. How can we only look at appearance when we're planning a life together? Family background, upbringing, and character are all extremely important factors."
Lin Shuangxue smiled: "With your words, Grandma knows that you have a good heart. My family doesn't need a daughter-in-law with a powerful background to fill the family business."
Knowing that Shu Jin was just outside the door and Lin Shuangxue was so enthusiastic, Qu Lingyuan didn't know what to say.
She could only give an ambiguous answer: "It's up to Master Jin to decide this matter."
No one likes to be bound. If Madam Lin tries to force a red thread and causes Shujin to retaliate, it will be more trouble than it is worth.
Seeing Qu Lingyuan's sensible demeanor, Lin Shuangxue couldn't help but want to pour out her heart. "Honestly, grandma is getting anxious. I only have this one grandson, and he's 20 and still unmarried. That girl from the Chu family, Chu Xiaoer, hangs around him all day. Men don't understand, but I, an old lady, know this kind of girl all too well. She's just pretending, and she's totally unacceptable!"
Qu Lingyuan couldn't bring herself to say anything bad about Chu Xiaoer, so she feigned shock and covered half of her lips with her jade finger. "That's not the case, isn't it? The Chu family's young lady just dislikes me a little, how could she be so unbearable?"
"You are still too naive." Lin Shuangxue sighed.
Shu Jin heard it clearly outside the door and narrowed his dark eyes.
Not only grandma, he can now see that Chu Xiaoer is pretending.
On the other hand, Qu Lingyuan was constantly being criticized by Chu Xiaoer, yet she still thought she was not a bad person. How could she be innocent? She was simply stupid.
......
While Lin Shuangxue and Qu Lingyuan were talking, it was already dark outside, so she called Shujin to take Qu Lingyuan back to the theater.
Although Qu Lingyuan told her not to force the issue, a grandmother who desperately wanted a granddaughter-in-law would never miss such a good opportunity.
Shu Jin didn't ask anyone to follow him. He and Qu Lingyuan strolled towards the theater where Feng Xiban was stationed.
He wanted to hear the person next to him continue talking, but she didn't say a word all the way.
Looking at Qu Lingyuan's lowered eyes, Shu Jin felt that she was probably frightened today.
No more chattering.
Knowing that Qu Lingyuan had not yet left Shu's house, Chu Xiaoer had been wandering around Shu's house.
When she saw Shu Jin and Qu Lingyuan going out together, her face turned a lot greener.
This shameless woman took advantage of the old lady to hook up with Mr. Jin again.
Chu Xiaoer followed the two of them from a distance as they walked towards the theater. After confirming that Shu Jin had left, she pushed open the door of Qu Lingyuan's room.
Qu Lingyuan was preparing to take a bath. She half-took off her clothes, revealing her shoulders and delicate skin, which made Chu Xiaoer jealous.
"If I say you're a vixen, then you'll show your true colors." She stood at the door with her arms crossed, her voice quite loud.
Qu Lingyuan often appears weak, so Chu Xiaoer is always so arrogant, as if she is easy to bully.
Seeing that the person coming was Chu Xiaoer, Qu Lingyuan didn't straighten her clothes, her eyes were filled with laziness, and she leaned aside with a naturally charming figure.
Her soft and clear voice was mixed with a hint of displeasure: "Miss Chu looks down on me, I already knew it, but calling me a vixen... I won't agree."
Chu Xiaoer couldn't stand her being so soft and lazy, so she frowned and said, "I saw Master Jin send you back with my own eyes."
"Then it must have been me who seduced her?" Qu Lingyuan's lips curled up slightly, her eyes were charming, and even when facing a woman, she refused to retract her charm, which made Chu Xiaoer feel a lot of pressure.
"What else?" Chu Xiaoer thought she was joking.
Qu Lingyuan was not angry at all. Someone calling you a vixen just means you are beautiful enough.
She just thought Chu Xiaoer was praising her.
"Miss Chu... there's no need to be so stingy. Even you look down on me, how can you think Mr. Jin would look down on me? Maybe even if I threw myself into his arms, he would still find it disgusting."
