Lin Xiaoxiao gave a fake smile but didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Qin Jinye could only reveal one piece of information to her: "Your father came to see me yesterday."
"Lin Dashan is not my dad," Lin Xiaoxiao corrected him.
Qin Jinye said meaningfully, "Regardless of whether he is your biological father or not, in the eyes of outsiders, you grew up in the Lin family. For both reason and emotion, you have to acknowledge him as your father."
Lin Xiaoxiao seemed to be deep in thought.
I was too busy with other things before to deal with the Lin family's affairs.
It seems we can't delay any longer.
The abuse and torment the original owner suffered in the past cannot be simply glossed over; it is time for reckoning. The matter of severing ties with the Lin family should also be put on the agenda.
"What does he want with you?" she asked.
Qin Jinye smiled, but the smile didn't seem very sincere. "Let me help you get a junior position at the railway bureau, since our families are related by marriage."
Lin Ping'an?
Lin Dashan is really willing to lose face for his son.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't speak; she knew Qin Jinye had more to say.
"I heard from Huaiyi that you have a good relationship with the Chu family?" Sure enough, Qin Jinye's next sentence revealed his purpose.
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "It's alright."
As soon as he finished speaking, I noticed a fleeting glint of calculation on Qin Jinye's face.
“Your father is my in-law after all, and he gave this much as a tribute.” Qin Jinye gestured with a number. “He’s just a minor official, it’s just a matter of me saying a few words.”
"Dad thought that you didn't get along well with your family, so he came to ask for your opinion on whether to promote you or not."
He gave the choice to Lin Xiaoxiao.
With just one word from Lin Xiaoxiao, Lin Ping'an could decide whether or not he could become a junior staff member.
Lin Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes.
Is she thinking?
No, that's not the case.
She was wondering where Lin Dashan got so much money, enough to give Qin Jinye such a large sum.
The fact that it's being hidden like this means it's definitely not clean money.
Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes flickered; she knew how to deal with the Lin family.
"What's your decision?" Qin Jinye asked again.
Lin Xiaoxiao snapped out of her reverie and glanced at him. "Dad, just tell me what you need."
Lin Dashan offered so much money, yet Qin Jinye still hesitated and unusually came to let her make the decision.
Given his personality, it's clear he wants something more valuable than money from her.
Then she thought back to when he asked her earlier about her relationship with the Chu family.
His purpose is obvious.
Qin Jinye laughed heartily twice, "It's nothing serious."
Lin Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow.
Don't believe him for a second.
Qin Jinye said, "You have a good relationship with the Chu family, so help me make an appointment with Chu Weinian. I want to talk to him about something."
He invited Chu Weinian to dinner, but he has already been rejected more than ten times.
The general election is just around the corner. Whether he can be promoted to mayor depends on the final vote results.
"Sure," Lin Xiaoxiao agreed without hesitation.
Qin Jinye was a little unaccustomed to such a straightforward manner.
Before he could say anything, Lin Xiaoxiao asked him a question, "Dad, do you know how Qin Huaiyi and Qin Huaijun bullied Yu Shen when they were little?"
Qin Jinye's eyes widened, his brows furrowed. "Huaiyi and Huaijun bullied Yushen? When did this happen?"
That old fox, he's really good at pretending.
Lin Xiaoxiao sneered inwardly, "It's alright, you'll find out when the time comes."
Qin Jinye was seen off by Lin Xiaoxiao, and even after returning home, a sense of unease lingered in his heart.
He always felt that Lin Xiaoxiao's words had ulterior motives.
"Mom, please promise me, I'll definitely teach that bitch a lesson." Before even entering the house, Qin Jinye heard Qin Huaiyi and Yao Huixian's coquettish voices.
Yao Huixian's tone was helpless, "That woman Lin Xiaoxiao is not simple, why did you go and provoke her?"
"Right now, the most important thing is your grandfather. Spend more time with him; that's better than anything else."
Qin Huaiyi snorted, "You know Grandpa favors boys over girls. Ten times I go can't compare to my brother going once. I don't want to go."
That old geezer, he never gives her a friendly look.
On the contrary, if Qin Huaijun were to go, he would call him "good grandson" or "good grandson".
"Your brother is busy with work, so you should try to improve his image with the old man. In the end, everything your brother gets will be yours." This statement was at least half-truthful.
Yao Huixian also loves her daughter, and it could even be said that she spoils her.
But all of this happened when the daughter and son did not have any conflict of interest.
The old man's health doesn't seem to be very good right now, so whether or not we can get a large sum of money from him depends on his choice.
Huaijun is her most valued son. At this critical juncture, her daughter doesn't think about helping her brother; she only knows to ask her for money to deal with Lin Xiaoxiao.
In Yao Huixian's opinion, it was indeed somewhat immature.
Qin Huaiyi felt furious when she thought about how Qin Yushen and Lin Xiaoxiao hadn't given her any face at the Chu family a few days ago, making her lose face in front of her sweetheart.
I wish I could kill them both to vent my anger.
"Mom, Lin Xiaoxiao is pregnant. Do you think if Grandpa knew he was going to have a great-grandson, he would give everything he has to Qin Yushen?" A sinister glint flashed in Qin Huaiyi's eyes.
Yao Huixian frowned, "Don't reveal Lin Xiaoxiao's pregnancy to the old man."
In any case, Qin Yushen and his wife didn't plan to visit the old man. As long as they didn't go to the old man's face, they would keep it a secret for as long as possible.
Qin Huaiyi scoffed, "Mom, you're too naive. Given Lin Xiaoxiao's money-grubbing nature, do you think she'd give up what Grandpa has?"
