grandmother
Xu Feifei changed into new clothes and went out. When she saw Lin Yuan, she asked, "Did you put the clothes I washed yesterday in the closet for me?"
After a moment of silence, Lin Yuan said, "I saw that you turned on the drying mode without airing it out, and then I put it in your closet after it was dry."
Xu Feifei suddenly realized and said, "No wonder, I was wondering why the clothes I just washed were in the closet."
Lin Yuan nodded without saying anything.
"Lin Yuan, where did you go yesterday? I looked for you in the house for a long time, but I couldn't find you."
"I was just taking a walk. I didn't mean to leave you alone at home. Were you scared that night?"
Xu Feifei smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm not too scared. Are you feeling any better now?"
Lin Yuan forced a smile and said, "I feel much better as long as you're by my side."
Xu Feifei saw that his expression was indeed better than before, and nodded with relief. It was good that he was better. After hesitating for a long time, she asked, "Lin Yuan, can you tell me about the photos from yesterday?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan's expression darkened.
Xu Feifei noticed his expression and hurriedly waved her hand, saying, "I'm sorry, you don't have to say it if you don't want to."
Lin Yuan frowned, shook his head slightly, and hesitated before saying, "No, in this photo..."
"Ding-dong."
What is that sound?
Xu Feifei looked around, searching for the source of the sound.
"Ding-dong."
The sound rang out again.
The sound is familiar; it sounds like a doorbell.
"That sound sounds like the doorbell at the front gate. Has someone arrived?"
Amazingly, this was the first time she had ever heard the doorbell ring after staying here for so long.
Seeing Lin Yuan's solemn expression, his brows furrowed tightly, and his head turned to stare intently out the window.
Seeing his serious expression, Xu Feifei sensed something was wrong. Could it be a thief? She warily watched everything downstairs and whispered, "Lin Yuan, is it a thief? Should we go to the kitchen and get a knife for self-defense?"
"No need, I'll go take a look."
"I'll go too."
Xu Feifei followed behind Lin Yuan. Every extra person meant extra strength, and she could help if there were any bad guys.
Lin Yuan checked the security camera footage at the door, and there stood a graceful and composed old lady.
"Who is this old lady? Do you know her?"
Lin Yuan turned his head and said, "My grandma. Feifei, can you go back to your room first?"
"Huh? Why?"
"Ding-dong." The doorbell rang again.
Lin Yuan pursed his lips and pleaded, "Go back to your room first, and come out again after a while."
Xu Feifei looked at him in confusion, but still listened to him and went back to her room.
After closing the door, I immediately pressed my ear against it to listen to what was happening outside. I could only hear the door opening and closing, and then I couldn't hear anything else.
I peered through the crack in the door again, but still couldn't hear anything. I have to say, the soundproofing is really good.
I don't know why she hides in her room whenever Lin Yuan's grandmother comes. It's not like she can't be seen by anyone. What is Lin Yuan's grandmother doing here?
After lying on the ground for a few minutes, Xu Feifei's back couldn't take it anymore; the hunched-over posture was really tiring.
Back in bed, he could only wait for Lin Yuan to come up so he could ask him what had happened.
I don't know how the male and female leads are doing now. Their engagement is the day after tomorrow, and it seems like she won't make it. Given the current situation, would it be considered that she ran away from the wedding?
Nangong Ye leaned back in his chair, looking exhausted. He had been working too hard lately.
Since Xu Feifei disappeared, he has been going back and forth between his family's company and the Xu family every day, postponing the engagement date and summoning the media to deal with related matters.
The investigation into Xu Feifei's disappearance was initially thought to be completed within a day or two, but it has dragged on until now with only a few clues.
According to the latest investigations by the two organizations, this matter has been found to be related to Lin Yuan.
The Xu family had previously investigated Lin Yuan's identity, but they hadn't found anything useful.
This investigation revealed that Lin Yuan was connected to the Lin Group, a long-established and complex family in City A.
In the 19th century, the Lin Group was the richest family in City A. Later, due to disagreements among the heirs and issues concerning the distribution of assets, the entire family was divided into three main parts.
Lin Ke inherited most of the original business, while Lin Mulan and Lin Zhaidong each formed their own new companies to develop their original businesses. Their respective companies are both among the top ten in City A.
In business, sometimes cooperation leads to mutual benefit, and sometimes it involves open and covert competition.
However, in recent years, as Lin Ke has appeared at the company less and less, the internal strife within the Lin Group has intensified.
However, the old man of the Lin family still had some say, and many times it was the old man who quelled some internal strife. On the surface, everything was calm, but in reality, undercurrents were surging.
Lin Yuan's identity was kept completely secret; all that was known was that she was Lin Ke's child.
After learning this news, Xu Feifei's parents and Nangong Ye's parents went to ask the Lin family, but no one admitted that Lin Yuan was a member of the Lin family. They only got a vague answer after visiting the old lady.
Given the current situation, the Lin and Nangong families can only anxiously await news.
Looking at Lin Yuan's identity information on the computer, Nangong Ye took out his phone and dialed Lin Yuan's number again. He had memorized this number perfectly.
In the past few days, Nangong Ye had lost count of how many times he had called or texted this number. He was utterly baffled, wondering what had happened between Lin Yuan and Xu Feifei.
They had such a good relationship before, so why did he suddenly take Xu Feifei away and disappear?
Nangong Ye leaned back in his chair, looked up and sighed, his eyes filled with exhaustion.
Why hasn't Xu Feifei returned yet after so long?
Xu Feifei got out of bed again, walked to the door and eavesdropped, but still couldn't hear a sound.
Just as she was thinking of sneaking out through a crack in the door, Lin Yuan's face appeared before her eyes, his eyes filled with pleading and unease.
"Sigh." He let out a long sigh and decided to just watch TV.
After turning on the TV, I saw the date August 20th in the upper right corner of the pop-up homepage.
Xu Feifei stared at the time on the screen in disbelief.
The engagement was supposed to be on Sunday, August 16th. I clearly remember yesterday being August 14th, so how come today is the 20th? Is the time on the TV wrong?
Today is August 20th, what's going on?
Immediately, Xu Feifei thought about going to Lin Yuan to ask him what was going on. She felt increasingly lost the longer she stayed here.
Looking out the window, many things came to mind.
My hand lingered on the doorknob for a long time, and after thinking it over, I finally opened the door.
As they were leaving, they ran into Lin Yuan and the old lady walking towards them, and the atmosphere between the three of them was quite awkward.
The moment the old lady saw her, she silently looked her over and smiled kindly, saying, "You must be Feifei, right?"
Xu Feifei was taken aback, then nodded and said, "Yes, hello Grandma!"
"I've heard Xiao Yuan mention you before, and you really are a great beauty today."
"Little Kite?"
She looked at Lin Yuan with a puzzled expression and noticed that he still had long hair, so it seemed that his family knew about this.
Lin Yuan sighed and remained silent.
"Let Grandma see."
The old lady stepped forward, took her hand, and patted the back of her hand.
This sudden intimacy made her feel uncomfortable. She stiffened and let herself be looked at, her eyes darting out to Lin Yuan for help.
Lin Yuan received her signal immediately, pulled his hand away, and said, "You've seen the person, you can go back now. I will do what you said before."
Xu Feifei tilted her head and leaned closer to ask, "What's wrong?"
Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "It's nothing, just a little trouble at home."
Lin Yuan's grandmother was there, so it wasn't convenient for her to ask any further questions. She could only nod and say, "Oh!"
"I've only been here a short time, and they're already kicking me out?"
The old lady glared at him, pretending to be angry, just like a child throwing a tantrum.
The tone suddenly shifted as he said, "Unless you make me a cup of tea, I'll leave after I drink it."
Lin Yuan frowned as he looked at her, seemingly considering her words.
Seeing this, Xu Feifei chuckled and said, "Grandma, what kind of tea would you like to drink? How about I brew it for you?"
The old lady chuckled and said, "Good child! No need, Xiao Yuan can go. He knows what kind of tea I like to drink. Xiao Yuan, go quickly."
Lin Yuan remained silent and stood to the side.
"Okay, then I'll go with Lin Yuan."
Xu Feifei took Lin Yuan's hand and was about to leave when her grandmother stopped her. "Feifei, he can make tea by himself. You don't need to go. Stay and walk around with me. It's been a long time since I've been here."
Lin Yuan immediately became alert and hid her behind his back.
Grandma noticed his nervousness and smiled gently, "Don't be so nervous. I will follow all the things you told me before. Don't be too insistent on some things, or it will backfire."
What kind of riddle is this?
Xu Feifei looked at Lin Yuan, then at her grandmother, and found that her grandmother was looking at her and smiling.
Lin Yuan pursed his lips and after a long pause said, "Okay, I'll go downstairs and make you some tea now."
"Feifei, what's wrong? Call me."
Xu Feifei looked at him with suspicion, feeling that something was off.
Lin Yuan repeated what he had just said.
Grandma joked from the side, "You're just accompanying this old lady for a walk. Did you eat Feifei? You can go and make your tea without worry."
Xu Feifei snapped out of her daze and nodded awkwardly, saying, "Okay. Lin Yuan, why don't you go make some tea? I'll go for a walk with Grandma."
After Lin Yuan went downstairs, Xu Feifei followed her grandmother to the end of the corridor and around the corner.
Grandma walked around, looking at the place, and complained, "Sigh, this house has been redecorated, I don't even recognize the way anymore. Feifei, how long have you been here?"
Xu Feifei estimated the time frame and said, "Hmm? It's been about a week."
Grandma paused for a moment and said, "More than a week? That's quite a long time indeed."
"Hmm." Xu Feifei lowered her head and didn't continue the conversation, feeling very hesitant.
How are you doing here?
"good."
Are you homesick?
Upon hearing this, Xu Feifei looked up at her in astonishment.
Grandma smiled warmly at her and asked again, "Do you miss home? Do you want to go back?"
