Chapter 7: Late Return 7
Fu Yin listened to the man's deep voice and tightened his grip slightly.
She pursed her lips slightly, didn't reply for a long time, and directly hung up the phone.
If he likes to wait, then he can wait downstairs.
Another half an hour passed when she finished reading the last bit of material. Fu Yin put the materials down and began to pack up slowly.
After turning off all the lights, Fu Yin left with her bag, took the elevator downstairs and walked out of the TV station.
She didn't walk fast, and just as she reached the hall, she saw a black SUV parked outside the door.
Lin Xu was wearing a camel-colored coat and leaning against the car with his hands in his pockets. Fine snow fell on his black hair, and his every move revealed his gentleness and elegance.
Fu Yin stopped where he was and stared at him for a long time with a gloomy expression, as if time had gone back to the first day he met him.
Lin Xu is now much more mature and steady than before, and looks more unapproachable.
But his attitude towards her is still the same as before, always so gentle to her. Is he reminding her all the time that she will always be just his sister?
Fu Yin walked up to him slowly with a cold gaze, not even showing any intention of greeting him.
"Are you tired? You look a little haggard."
Lin Xu stood up straight, reached out to open the car door for her, his tone revealing a hint of concern.
Fu Yin blinked his eyelashes and said in a cold voice: "Isn't this what work is like?"
She bent down and got into the car. After a moment, Lin Xu also got in and moved closer.
Fu Yin felt inexplicably unconscious and moved further into the corner.
Seeing this, Lin Xu's eyes darkened and his brows furrowed slightly.
The air was condensed. Lin Xu asked the driver to drive and turned to look at Fu Yin beside him.
"Mom said you haven't been home for a long time. What's wrong?" Lin Xu began to find topics to talk to her.
Fu Yin looked out the car window and saw him asking in his ear, his face still stern.
She actually didn't want to say anything bad about Lin's mother in front of Lin Xu. He had not been at home for the past five years and didn't know what the situation was at home.
Lin's mother seems to be doing this for her own good, but in fact she is using moral blackmail. Because the Lin family adopted her, she must be grateful to them and let them control her life.
Even her preferences were to be taken away.
When she was fifteen, she liked to draw and would often secretly take a drawing board to draw. When Lin's mother saw this, she smashed the drawing board and said that girls should study finance and become an accountant working in an office in the future.
When she was eighteen, she fell in love with dancing again. At that time, she had just entered college and joined a dance club.
When Lin's mother found out, she was furious and said that girls should not learn such dishonorable art. It is better to study hard and find a decent job in the future.
Later, when she was looking for a job, Lin's mother asked her father to find her an accounting position in the company, but she did not go.
She did find a suitable major, but she did a job she liked.
After knowing that she was a reporter, Lin's mother scolded her for showing up in public, saying that she would bring shame to the Lin family in the future.
She really couldn't hold it in any longer at that moment, and had a big quarrel with Lin's mother, saying that it would be fine as long as she didn't become the adopted daughter of the Lin family in the future.
In the past two years since she was released, she only sent money to the Lin family every month, and she had nothing else.
It's not just these, there are many more. She always feels that there is someone else's shadow in her, and she always wonders why Lin's mother is so harsh on her.
If you didn't really want to raise her, why did you bring her back to the Lin family?
"No reason. I was too busy with work at the TV station, so I didn't go back."
Fu Yin's long curly eyelashes cast a shadow on her face. Her voice was very calm, but there was no emotion in her eyes.
There was silence in the car, and the two did not talk anymore.
Lin Xu wanted to take a closer look at the changes in Fu Yin over the past few years, but she kept turning her face away and leaning aside.
When the car stopped, Fu Yin was the first to open the door and get out.
She stood there, as if waiting for him deliberately, and only walked into the villa after seeing Lin Xu coming down.
She hasn't been back here for two years. If Lin Xu hadn't come back, she probably wouldn't have come back either.
She didn't dare reveal her identity as the adopted daughter of the Lin family, for fear of bringing shame to the Lin family.
After entering the villa, Fu Yin followed Lin Xu. When he changed his shoes at the entrance and walked in, he heard the conversation between Lin's mother and a woman.
"Shu Yan, I've already talked to your parents. We'll have the wedding after the New Year. Can you spend the New Year at our house this year?"
Mother Lin couldn't stop smiling, and the more she looked at the woman next to her, the happier she became.
Wen Shuyan also grew up under her watch, but she went to study abroad after high school and only returned in the past two years.
I also heard her say that she met Lin Xu when she was abroad, but they didn't talk much.
However, any connection was fate, so she immediately contacted the Wen family and told them about it, and also arranged a marriage.
She was also anxious because Lin Xu had never found a girlfriend. Now that she had a ready-made daughter-in-law, she naturally wanted to hold on to her tightly.
"Auntie, Ah Xu is back." Wen Shuyan blushed at the praise, and after seeing the tall figure of the man walking in from outside, she reminded him softly.
Only then did Lin's mother turn her head to look at the door. When she saw Lin Xu coming back, she suddenly stood up and walked forward to greet him with a smile on her face.
"Son, you're back? You're really something. You've been back for several days, why are you coming home only now?" Mother Lin was a little angry. She pointed at the man's forehead with her fingertips and helped him take off his windbreaker.
"Dealing with company matters." Lin Xu's voice was very calm.
Lin Xu turned around and glanced at Fu Yin. He reached out to help her take off her clothes, but his hand fell into the air.
Fu Yin hung up the clothes and called out in a neutral tone, "Aunt Xu."
Xu Ning's face stiffened slightly. He didn't expect that their relationship would become so distant after two years away.
Ever since that quarrel, Fu Yin has never called her mother.
She fell, but because there were guests today, she still responded with a smile: "Yin Yin, I'm glad you're back."
"I haven't seen you for two years. I hope you won't be angry when you come back this time?" Xu Ning wanted to help her with the bag. Fu Yin clenched the bag in her hand, struggling inside.
In fact, she couldn't forgive Xu Ning for slapping her and telling her to get out of the Lin family, but now he could ask her to forgive him as if nothing had happened.
But Xu Ning is Lin Xu's mother and her adoptive mother after all.
"Yeah." Fu Yin couldn't bear it and nodded reluctantly.
Xu Ning suddenly laughed, and immediately put his arm around her, pulling her into the living room. He whispered softly in her ear, "I knew Yin Yin wasn't someone who held grudges. We're a family, so just sit down and talk."
Fu Yin was pulled to sit on the sofa, his face pale.
Wen Shuyan, who was sitting on the sofa, greeted her with a smile: "You are Ah Xu's sister Lin Yin, right? I've heard Auntie talk about you before, and I'm really glad to see you today."
Wen Shuyan has a soft tone and demeanor like an intimate older sister. She has long, slightly curly hair that is smooth. There is always a faint smile between her eyebrows, and her eyes are bright and gentle. It is impossible to dislike her when you see her.
It turns out that this is Lin Xu’s fiancée.
He is indeed much better than her.
"Hello."
"My name is Wen Shuyan. I've seen your childhood photos. You were very cute. Now you're quite beautiful."
Wen Shuyan took the initiative to introduce herself, holding their family photo album in her hand. There were actually only a few photos of her in it, most of them were of Lin Xu.
When they went out to play, Lin's mother basically took pictures of Lin Xu. At that time, Lin Xu took good care of her. Knowing that she also wanted to take pictures, he hugged her and took several pictures.
Later, when she grew up a little, Lin Xu became her photographer and used a special camera to take pictures of her alone.
Before, she was the only one in his camera.
From now on, will she no longer appear in his camera?
Fu Yin was in a trance when she thought of this. She didn't even hear what Wen Shuyan said to her. She just nodded slightly in response.
Wen Shuyan could see that she was distracted and thought she was shy, so she immediately grabbed her wrist and said softly, "Don't be nervous. We will be a family from now on. If there is anything you dare not say, you can tell me."
"Thank you, Sister Shuyan."
Fu Yin noticed that Xu Ning looked at her with a sharp look, and she paused for a few seconds before responding.
Xu Ning smiled with satisfaction. Seeing that the two of them were chatting happily, he immediately pulled Lin Xu to the bookcase nearby.
"Shu Yan has come back from a meeting in another province. You must seize the opportunity. Your uncle Wen and I have discussed it and we will have the wedding after the New Year. Let's pick a date during this time to get the marriage certificate."
She will not feel at peace until she gets the marriage certificate.
She is still scared about what happened before.
Lin Xu's face was gloomy, and his eyes unconsciously looked towards Fu Yin, with strange emotions surging in his eyes.
"I know what you're thinking, but Xu, don't forget what you promised me."
Xu Ning followed his gaze and found that he was staring at Fu Yin, and his heart sank.
She had finally sent him abroad so that he could completely forget about these things, and get married and start a family after returning home. As for Fu Yin, she would naturally find her a better one.
The palms and backs of the hands are all made of flesh. Although Fu Yin was adopted by her, she had long considered her as her biological daughter in her heart.
It’s just that the feelings she expressed were different. Even if Fu Yin couldn’t understand it now, he would definitely understand it in the future.
Lin Xu's voice was a little hoarse: "Yeah, I understand."
When it was time for dinner, Lin Xu was helping in the kitchen, and Wen Shuyan stood up and went over to help serve the rice.
Fu Yin stood not far away, looking at the warm scene of the family of four, as if she was the superfluous one.
"Yinyin, why are you still standing there? Come over and have dinner."
Father Lin came out of the kitchen and coughed violently a few times. Seeing that Fu Yin didn't move, he took her wrist and led her to the dining table.
"Uncle Lin, are you feeling better?"
"Hearing you call me that, I feel like my whole body is unwell. You should just call me dad. I know you have resentment towards mom, but we are all family."
Father Lin covered his chest with his hands, pretending to be very sad.
Fu Yin smiled helplessly, knowing that Lin's father's health was just a cover, and he actually wanted her to come back.
"good."
This meal tastes like chewing wax.
Almost all the dishes on the table were inedible to her, so she could only take a few bites of the vegetables in front of her and listen to them talk about marriage with her head down.
From time to time, she looked up at Lin Xu and Wen Shuyan, and felt in her heart that they were really a good match.
"Yin Yin, will you be my bridesmaid?"
