Chapter 80
The obvious harsh tone and malice made Lin Qi's face twitch. His fingers holding the wine glass suddenly tightened, and his eyes quickly turned downwards, trying to see the speaker's appearance clearly.
Lin Qi has been highly praised by the Lin family and those who need to rely on the Lin family over the years. Even when facing Lin Ciyan, the biological son of the Lin family, he has never been wronged. Today is the first time.
It is unheard of that someone actually stood up for Lin Ciyan.
He wanted to see who was so blind and bold as to be so bold.
But when his gaze turned to Nie Liu's face, he saw Nie Liu's facial features clearly, and realized the other party's identity, Lin Qi's expression became more and more stiff.
...How could it be Nie Feng?
As this doubt arose in his mind, another even more frightening doubt emerged:
How could Lin Ciyan be related to the sixth young master of the Nie family?
No, more than that.
Isn’t the one from the Yan family sitting next to Nie Liu?
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind at once, and Lin Qi was completely unaware that the "most insignificant" Rong Jing beside him was observing him with her cheek in her hand, and could easily see his expression which was shocked but deliberately suppressed, yet still had some emotions exposed and changing.
Lin Qi was quite impressive, but he was still young and couldn't hide things.
Rong Jing drank a sip of pomegranate juice and realized that he probably wouldn't have a chance to perform today, so he just watched the fun in silence.
As time went by, Lin Qi gradually calmed down. A smile appeared on his face again, and he said to Nie Liu in a gentlemanly manner, "Mr. Nie, I didn't expect it to be you. But you may have misunderstood me. I didn't mean to ask Ah Yan to report everything. But my family always reminds me to pay more attention to Ah Yan, and I am just worried that Ah Yan might be deceived. Of course, if it was Mr. Yan and Mr. Nie, this kind of problem would not have happened."
Also care more about A Yan.
Nie Liu's eyes were almost rolling up to the sky.
"Now that you've seen it, you can leave with your friends." Lin Ciyan didn't want Lin Qi to disturb them. Just looking at his hypocritical face, Lin Ciyan felt that the wine in the glass had lost its taste.
Lin Qi was silent when he heard this, and he vividly displayed the helplessness and discomfort of 'caring for his brother but his brother doesn't appreciate it'. He exhaled, nodded, and said, "Okay, then you should drink less and take care of yourself."
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard Shen Xi staring at Lin Ciyan with a frown: "How can you not tell the difference between good and bad? A Qi came to care about you, and you have this attitude? Or is it that now that you have hooked up with Master Yan and Master Nie, you no longer take A Qi, your brother, seriously?"
Lin Qi decided to take back his previous blame on Shen Xi.
Although Shen Xi is a brainless person and sometimes speaks unpleasantly, he is very handy as a knife.
Especially since this knife can stab people on its own.
After Shen Xi finished speaking, he turned to look at Nie Liu and Yan Yingyao, and immediately said: "Mr. Yan and Mr. Nie, why can't you understand why you want to be friends with Lin Ciyan? This guy just looks down on us, a group of playboys. I think -"
Shen Xi's next words, "He must have bad intentions," were stuck in his throat. Nie Liu looked at him with a strange expression and asked in return, "Isn't it normal to look down on playboys? Your father doesn't look down on you either, right?"
Shen Xi: “…?”
"Mr. Shen," Lin Ciyan put down the wine glass in his hand, his eyes showing a bit of coldness. He said, "I don't look down on dandies. Everyone has their own way of life. As long as they don't break the law and are not immoral, how they live their lives is their own choice. It has nothing to do with me. I respect everyone's choice. I just-"
He paused, a smile playing on his lips. Even his short pink hair looked gorgeous under the light. He said, "I can't stand a fool like you who lets Lin Qi fool you around and tries his best to be his dog, barking for him."
puff.
As soon as he finished speaking, Nie Liu couldn't help but burst out laughing in front of the astonished and incredible gazes of the others.
He thought, it’s a good thing that he didn’t drink, otherwise the wine would probably have sprayed on Lin Ciyan’s face.
How inappropriate is this? Lin Ciyan had just made a harsh remark, and he ruined the atmosphere. Wouldn't this make Lin Qi laugh?
Fortunately, now it’s time to laugh at Lin Qi’s joke.
Nie Liu observed Lin Qi with a calm and interested gaze. Lin Qi had never dreamed that one day Lin Ciyan would be so reckless and tear his face apart in front of so many people. You have to know that in the past two years, even if Lin Ciyan realized his ill intentions, he would not say anything.
Because he knew it was useless to say it.
Lin's parents would only look at him with reproachful eyes and say to him, "Are you trying to sow discord between us and Aqi? Aqi has lived with us for twenty years. We know what kind of person he is better than you do. We know you've been wronged, but your grievances were not caused by Aqi. They were caused by our mistakes back then. If you want to blame someone, blame us. Aqi has nothing to do with it. As parents, we sincerely hope that the three of you brothers can work together to carry forward the Lin family."
From then on, Lin Ciyan would no longer take the initiative to talk to Lin's parents about anything.
He handled all relations with the Lin family calmly and indifferently, turning a blind eye to his provocations and plans, and treating him as a transparent person.
But today, perhaps because he had the support of Nie Feng and Yan Yingyao, he became a little different. He actually dared to say such words in front of so many people.
It is conceivable that if these words were to reach the ears of Lin's parents, he would definitely not have the chance to see Lin's parents' good faces.
Lin Qi narrowed his eyes, stepped forward and pulled Shen Xi, who had finally come to his senses and realized that he was being called a dog and an idiot, behind him. Then, he pursed his lips and said to Lin Ciyan with a hurt expression, "Ah Yan, I know you have a problem with me. I have also mentioned to my parents that I want my brother to take you to the company, but you also know that you are not a finance major, and your parents are really worried... Forget it. It seems that there is no point in talking about this now. I just hope that it is okay for you to have a problem with me, but don't take it out on my friends."
"I won't disturb your party. I'll leave first."
"Why are you leaving!" Shen Xi thought to himself, how could such a good thing happen?
He broke free from Lin Qi's restraints and lunged towards the table. He placed his hands on the surface, his forehead twitching with anger. "Lin Ciyan, do you think you're powerful just because you're associated with Young Master Nie and Young Master Yan? What gives you the right to call me a dog?"
"Don't you think so?" Nie Feng looked over curiously and pointed at his angry expression. "Now he looks like a mad dog."
Shen Xi's expression froze.
Yan Yingyao glanced at him and nodded: "It is indeed quite similar."
Shen Xi's expression became even uglier.
If Lin Ciyan scolded him, he could still retort a few words, and it didn't matter if he had a fight with Lin Ciyan. After all, he had Lin Qi by his side. Even if the Lin family pursued the matter, they would definitely pretend nothing happened for Lin Qi's sake.
But if Yan Yingyao and Nie Feng get involved, things will become difficult to handle.
Shen Xi gritted his teeth in his heart.
Lin Ciyan really found the right person.
Anger and reason intertwined, causing Shen Xi's face to flush red and dark blue, his temples twitching, and his entire appearance to be extremely ferocious. Anyone who saw him would think he was going crazy, but in the end, reason triumphed over anger. He bit his mouth to taste the blood, slowly straightened up, and stared at Lin Ciyan. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes were very clear.
You'd better stay with Nie Feng and Yan Yingyao and not be kicked away by them, otherwise you will die.
Lin Ciyan smiled back at him, then lowered his head and took a sip of wine, obviously not taking his silent threat seriously.
With a bang.
Shen Xi kicked open the trash can next to him, turned around and walked out.
Lin Qi looked at his back, feeling a little regretful.
He also wanted to see Lin Ciyan and Shen Xi face off. Although he might not win, it would definitely lower Lin Ciyan's status in the hearts of the Lin family's parents. This would definitely be a good thing for him.
But it doesn’t matter. As long as I tell Lin’s parents what happened today, the result will be the same.
He said to Lin Ciyan: "Ayan, you really did go a bit too far."
He had just wanted to express that he, the Second Young Master Lin, was standing up for his friend, but Nie Feng hadn't expected him to catch on and start lashing out: "Who are you? I'm giving you the honor of calling you Second Young Master Lin, but you really think you're such a nobody and are trying to lecture a proper Young Master of the Lin family? Can't you, a fake, have a little self-awareness?"
These three sentences turned Lin Qi's face dark.
The corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously and he gritted his teeth, fearing that if he said anything more, Nie Feng would stare at him again. He just turned around and glanced coldly at Lin Ciyan, then left.
But Nie Feng didn't want to let him go so soon. He snorted coldly and said in a voice that was neither loud nor soft but still audible to Lin Qi: "Your mentality is not very good either. Your face is as black as charcoal after telling you a few truths."
Lin Qi: “…”
The veins on his hands hanging down at his sides were exposed, and he clenched his palms tightly with his fingers to barely control the rage that was surging wildly in his heart.
Nie Feng is such an idiot!
Better not let him get the chance!
He walked hurriedly, no longer caring about other people's gazes, and left Chunzui, while the others looked at each other in silence.
After a while, someone turned around to look at the young man who was smiling and clinking glasses with Nie Feng, and muttered to himself, "It seems that Lin Ciyan's good days are coming."
After everyone left, Nie Feng curled his lips and said, "Doesn't Lin Qi think he's acting well? His ambition and Bai Lian temperament are almost bursting out. Are those people blind and can't see it?"
"It can be seen that there is no conflict between you and them being Lin Qi's follower." Yan Yingyao glanced at him. Although he was a dandy and well-known playboy in Yancheng, the kind of person who no one dared to rank first if he ranked second, Yan Yingyao had at least grown up with an elite education, and being from a wealthy family, he had seen and seen a lot, so he could guess a thing or two with just a thought.
He said: "Except for the truly brainless few, the others are just deliberately flattering Lin Qi."
They don't care about Lin Qi's ambitions and desires. They only know that Lin Qi is currently being paid attention to by the Lin family, so they just need to please Lin Qi.
"When the day comes that Lin Qi is abandoned by the Lin family, do you think they will still become Lin Qi's dogs?"
"That's true." Nie Feng touched his chin, then seemed to think of something and turned to look at Lin Ciyan, "Based on Lin Qi's personality, he will go to the Lin family to complain later, right?"
"It doesn't matter," Lin Ciyan said, "It would be a good idea to take this opportunity to talk it over with the Lin family."
When Nie Feng heard him say this, his mind immediately flashed back to the pitiful scene of Lin Ciyan being kicked out of the house by the angry Lin family parents. He hesitated for a moment and reminded him, "If you have any difficulties, feel free to call us. We are now good friends who have had a drink together."
Moreover, he still remembered that Lin Ciyan lent him money to buy him a plane ticket back home.
"Don't worry, I won't be polite with you."
Seeing that he didn't look embarrassed at all, Nie Feng was very satisfied. He then looked at Rong Jing, who remained silent, and asked curiously, "Master, did you see any problem with Lin Qi's fate just now?"
Rong Jing: "...He probably hasn't gone to those Taoist priests to change his fate."
Nie Feng: "So he was just lucky to have a connection with the Lin family?"
Rong Jing shrugged: "Although I don't want to admit it, it's true."
but--
"Luck is something that lasts only for a short time, not a lifetime."
