Chapter 275: Gao Family as a Backer
Thinking of this, Lin Qin secretly tugged at the sleeves of Chen Wenjun and Lin Yi, and the two immediately understood what Lin Qin meant.
At the dinner table, Chen Wenjun had to face up to this marriage and began to question Xiao Jinlin thoroughly.
"You don't live with your parents, so they don't say anything?"
Xiao Jinlin lowered his eyelids. "They never took care of me since I was a child. What qualifications do they have to make demands on me? If grandma hadn't let it slip, I wouldn't have known that they had no choice but to give birth to me. I was never an expected child. It's better to keep a distance to avoid embarrassment for everyone."
Chen Wenjun looked surprised.
Xiao Sheng sighed uncomfortably, drank a glass of wine, and said thoughtfully: "My eldest brother and his wife were on duty abroad that year. Due to some special reasons, my eldest sister-in-law accidentally became pregnant. Logically, they already had a son and could not have another child, but the situation was special at the time and they could not get rid of the child.
When we went to the hospital for a check-up when the pregnancy was advanced, the doctor said it was too late and that forced abortion would also be dangerous for the adults, so we had to give birth to the baby. My eldest brother and his wife had no choice but to report it, but because it was caused by special reasons, they didn't say anything. After Jinlin was born, the couple was worried that the child would affect their careers, so they sent the child back to the capital as soon as possible to be taken care of by my parents.
They only came back once a year during the Chinese New Year. When Jinlin was young, he looked forward to his parents coming home. Later, when he grew up and became sensible, he told him the secret of the past, and he became more and more distant from my older brother and his wife.
By the time my eldest brother and his wife came to their senses and tried to mend their relationship with the child, it was already too late.”
Everyone in the Chen family didn't expect that Xiao Jinlin had such a miserable past, and they looked at him with a little more pity.
Xiao Jinlin smiled as if nothing had happened and said, "You don't have to look at me like that. Since I figured out my relationship with them, I'm fine."
Chen Wenjun was very disappointed with Xiao Bai and muttered a few words to express his dissatisfaction with him.
Once this person had a bias in his heart, there would be a flaw. With Xiao Sheng and He Xue singing the same tune, Lin Qin and the other two tacitly agreed to this marriage.
The meal lasted until dark.
Several men were a little drunk. He Xue called the nanny to help send them back to the house to rest and report the good news to Madam Xiao as soon as possible.
"Mom, today we met Xinyue's parents and grandpa. Originally, they didn't agree with this marriage because it was too far away and they were worried that the girl would have no one to support her if she married far away. Fortunately, Asheng and I worked well together and managed to negotiate this marriage. You have no idea how happy Jinlin is tonight!
I've been here for so many years, and I've never seen him look so happy."
Madam Xiao smiled from ear to ear, "Okay, okay, I'll remember your great achievement. Keep up the good work. It would be best if we could invite them to the old house for dinner, so that we can sit down and chat together, and by the way, settle the marriage."
He Xue was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat, "Mom, is this too fast?"
"How could that be! Jinlin and Xinyue have been dating for two years, it's almost time!" Old Madam Xiao was a little anxious.
He Xue hung up the phone and was thinking about how to bring this up with Lin Qin tomorrow.
The next morning, Lin Qin and his wife and Lin Yi were seen drinking tea and talking in the yard.
It was a bit chilly in the autumn morning. Seeing the three people enjoying the breeze in the yard, He Xue hurried over to greet them, "Why don't you come and have tea with me?"
Lin Qin stroked the little white dog and said with a smile: "Why are you arguing so early in the morning? Besides, we have to go out soon."
"Where are you going? I'll ask the driver to take you. Our driver knows everything about the capital and can take you anywhere." He Xue patted her chest and promised.
Lin Qin didn't bother to be polite with her and told her the address of the compound.
He Xue almost choked to death on her saliva. After she recovered, she asked in shock, "Are you going to the Xiao family's old house?"
Lin Qin was puzzled, shook her head and explained: "We are going to Gao's house. I wonder if you know Zhao Dongling?"
He Xue widened her eyes in astonishment, "Isn't that Madam Gao?"
"That's right, her husband's surname is Gao, and Xinyue is Madam Gao's goddaughter. We just found out last night that this girl hasn't visited her for such a long time since she came to the capital. Fortunately, her godfather has been busy recently and has no time to inquire about her. If her godfather knew about this, he would probably chase her and scold her. We thought that since we are here, we should bring Xinyue to visit the old lady today."
After Lin Qin said this, He Xue quickly contacted the driver.
Then he hurried back to the bedroom and pulled Xiao Sheng, who was still hungover, up, "Don't sleep anymore, Sister Qin and her family will be going to the compound soon."
Xiao Sheng nodded dazedly, "Going to the old house, right? Wait a minute, we'll go together."
"Why are you leaving? I'm going to the Gao family. Xinyue is Madam Gao's goddaughter!"
Xiao Sheng was sobered up by these words. His eyes widened and he stuttered, "What's going on? Does Jinlin know?"
He Xue shook her head. "I guess she doesn't know, otherwise she wouldn't have kept it from us. Tell me, how can this girl be so low-key with such a background? If the Gao family knew what Guo Lingyue did before, what do you think your eldest brother, his wife, and your eldest nephew would do?"
"Oh my God!" Xiao Sheng's face turned pale and he staggered to the bathroom, asking He Xue to inform the old house.
When Mrs. Xiao heard the news, she was also shocked and quickly took Mr. Xiao to visit the Gao family.
Zhao Dongling was the only one at the Gao family, as everyone else had gone to work. Although she was puzzled by the arrival of the old couple from the Xiao family, she still received them politely.
The two sides were chatting awkwardly when Lin Qin and his group arrived.
Hearing the noise, Zhao Dongling breathed a sigh of relief and hurried out.
Seeing Chen Wenjun and Lin Qin, Zhao Dongling's well-adopted face smiled brightly, "I've been looking forward to seeing you for so long! Yaya, oh my, my darlings, you've grown so beautifully that grandma can hardly recognize you! Brother, you're still as healthy as ever!"
"Aunt, I haven't seen you for so many years. You seem to be getting younger and younger, and more elegant." Lin Qin praised sincerely.
Zhao Dongling was so amused that she took Chen Xinyue's arm and walked into the house.
When Chen Xinyue saw the old couple from the Xiao family, she hurriedly called for help.
Only then did Zhao Dongling realize that they knew each other.
After asking a few questions and finding out that Chen Xinyue and Xiao Jinlin were dating, Zhao Dongling's eyes changed instantly when she looked at the Xiao family's old couple. She held Chen Xinyue close to her like a protective child, "Mr. Xiao, your second grandson is the one who's in business, right? How old is he? How many people did he date before? What did his parents say?"
Zhao Dongling asked a bunch of questions in one breath. Old Madam Xiao felt nervous and hurriedly answered them seriously.
The two of them were arguing back and forth. What was originally a matter between the Chen family and the Xiao family ended up being a confrontation between the Gao family and the Xiao family. Lin Qin and the others didn't even have a chance to interrupt and could only sit there obediently as a foil.
After some negotiations, Zhao Dongling was quite satisfied with Xiao Jinlin.
The affairs of the Xiao family's eldest branch were no secret in the compound, and Zhao Dongling inevitably brought it up.
Madam Xiao cursed the eldest couple in her heart, but she laughed and said, "After they get married, they can live on their own. They don't need to get involved with the elders. If there is any problem, let Jinlin solve it himself, and Xinyue doesn't need to intervene."
