Lin Zhiyue suddenly had an idea. What if he gave Mu Siwen a bamboo flute?
She remembered that Mu Siwen once mentioned that he liked to listen to classical music in his spare time. The tunes played by the bamboo flute were ethereal and distant, and maybe he would like it.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhiyue quickly walked to the stall, picked up a bamboo flute and looked at it carefully.
The bamboo body has clear texture and a faint luster, and it is obvious that it is carefully made.
She couldn't help but touch it gently, then turned to ask the old man: "Old man, is this flute easy to play?"
The old man took the flute with a smile and played a short piece. The sound was clear and pleasant.
As Lin Zhiyue listened, she felt that it was more and more suitable, but when she was about to ask about the price, she hesitated.
Seeing her hesitation, Mu Siwen couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong? Do you like this flute?"
Lin Zhiyue smiled a little embarrassedly and said frankly: "I was thinking of giving you a gift. After choosing for a long time, I think this flute is not bad, but I'm afraid you won't like it."
Mu Siwen was slightly startled, with a touch of emotion in his eyes. He took the flute, looked at it carefully, and said, "I like it very much. I am very happy that you thought of giving me a gift."
When Lin Zhiyue heard him say that, her heart finally settled down, and the corners of her mouth turned up, revealing a sweet smile.
The two bargained with the old man in front of the stall and finally bought the flute with satisfaction.
As the sun sets, the number of people in the market gradually decreases.
She smiled and said to Mu Siwen, "This place is so interesting."
Mu Siwen looked at her with a smile in his eyes: "Yes, Taobao is not only about looking at objects, but also about feeling the stories and culture behind them. If there is a chance in the future, I will take you to other interesting places."
The two of them slowly left this Taobao market full of stories as the sunset glowed.
When Lin Zhiyue returned home, he saw his grandfather Lin Weidong sitting on a chair in the living room with a frown on his face.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly walked to her grandfather and asked with concern: "Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Did you encounter any troubles?"
Lin Weidong sighed heavily, his face full of anger: "It's all because of the shameless Qu family, telling everyone that you and their Qu Chi are getting engaged. They don't even look at their own character, it's just nonsense!"
When Lin Zhiyue heard about this, she couldn't help but slap her head. Then she remembered that she hadn't told her grandparents that she and Mu Siwen were dating.
She calmed herself down and said seriously, "Grandpa, I just have something to tell you."
Lin Weidong looked puzzled and raised his head to look at her: "Granddaughter, what's going on? Why are you so serious?"
Lin Zhiyue took a deep breath and mustered up her courage: "Grandpa, Brother Sven and I are dating. You can just tell the Qu family about this and see how they make it up."
Hearing this, Lin Weidong's eyes flashed with surprise: "Granddaughter, are you really dating that boy from the Mu family? Don't make excuses to lie to grandpa just to deal with the Qu family."
Lin Zhiyue waved her hands hastily, saying firmly, "No, Grandpa, I'm really dating him. He's been very nice to me during this time together."
After hearing this, Lin Weidong nodded slightly, his expression softened a little: "Grandpa has raised Siwen since he was a child, and his character is impeccable, so you don't have to worry about him bullying you."
Lin Zhiyue raised the corners of her mouth and said happily, "Don't worry, Grandpa. He is very considerate and takes good care of me. He is really a good person."
Lin Weidong looked at his granddaughter and felt relieved. He waved his hand and said, "Okay! Since you're already dating someone, let Grandpa handle this matter. I want to see how the Qu family can still make a fuss after they find out about this!"
Although Lin Weidong was relieved, he became angry again when he thought of the arrogant look of the Qu family. He stood up and paced back and forth in the main hall, muttering: "We can't just let the Qu family go. They spread rumors like this, and our Lin family's reputation has been ruined."
Lin Zhiyue looked at his grandfather's angry expression and quickly comforted him, "Grandpa, don't get too angry. If you get too angry, you'll fall into their trap."
Lin Weidong stopped and thought for a moment before saying, "Granddaughter, you are right. Grandpa will go to the Qu family right now and explain your situation to them. By the way, I will ask them to take back the rumors they have spread and give an explanation to our Lin family!" After that, he turned around and was about to walk out.
Lin Zhiyue quickly grabbed Grandpa and said, "Grandpa, don't be anxious. Why don't you call the Qu family first and make an appointment? Let's not be too impulsive and explain things to them. If you just go there directly and there's a quarrel, it will be terrible."
Lin Weidong listened to his granddaughter's words and thought they made sense, so he sat down and said, "My granddaughter is really thoughtful. Okay, I'll do as you say."
Lin Zhiyue called the Qu family, revealed her identity, and told the other party that Grandpa Lin wanted to talk to them about the engagement rumors and hoped to make an appointment.
After hearing this, the Qu family on the other end of the phone were silent at first, and then reluctantly agreed to meet.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhiyue said to his grandfather: "Grandpa, we have an appointment to go to Qu's house tomorrow morning. Don't get anxious and angry when the time comes. Let's solve the problem calmly."
Lin Weidong nodded: "Okay, Grandpa will listen to you. However, if the Qu family still makes trouble there, Grandpa will not let them go easily!"
The next day, Lin Zhiyue accompanied his grandfather to Qu's house.
Although the Qu family members appeared polite on the surface, there was still a hint of arrogance in their eyes.
Lin Weidong said straight to the point: "I came here today to tell you that my granddaughter is already dating the boy from the Mu family. The rumors about their engagement are nonsense. You should take back your words immediately and stop ruining the reputation of our Lin family!"
The Qu family's head of household changed his expression slightly, and he tried to argue: "This... isn't this what everyone is saying? We also heard it from others."
Of course Lin Zhiyue knew that was their excuse, but there was no need for her to expose it on the spot.
She raised her eyes slightly, with a polite but distant smile on her lips. The smile did not reach her eyes, but revealed a sense of understanding that saw through everything.
She knew in her heart that the Qu family did it on purpose. They just wanted to use the rumor to put pressure on the Lin family and achieve their unknown goals.
But at this moment, exposing it would only make the situation more embarrassing, and the matter might not be properly resolved.
It would be better to follow their words and stop at the right time, so that the Qu family can understand that she is not easy to fool.
So, Lin Zhiyue opened her red lips slightly, her tone calm but with unquestionable firmness: "Since it is a misunderstanding, then let's make it clear. We are all sensible people, and there is no need to be too explicit about some things. There is still a long time to go, and we will meet each other sooner or later, so it is better not to spread these false rumors anymore."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the Qu family members suddenly became a little unnatural, and their eyes began to avoid.
