Chapter 69 Chapter 69 Decision
"Tian Xiaoyue, I didn't expect you to ask me to talk again." Lin Anran sat opposite Tian Xiaoyue, and the look in his eyes when he looked at the person opposite him was a bit complicated.
Tian Xiaoyue said seriously, "Because I really like Anhua, I am willing to endure your dislike and come to you again."
Lin Anran remained silent, looking at Tian Xiaoyue with a sincere face, as if she really, really, really liked Lin Anhua.
"But you don't have to be with Anhua." Lin Anran was not fooled by Tian Xiaoyue's words. After all, Tian Xiaoyue was surrounded by several suitors.
Lin Anran even wondered if Tian Xiaoyue was selecting the best candidate. Otherwise, with Tian Xiaoyue's methods, she could easily keep all the suitors out.
"But I really like Anhua the most. As long as he nods, I will definitely ignore others," said Tian Xiaoyue.
Lin Anran said calmly, "If you came to me today to convince me to agree with you and Anhua, then we have nothing to talk about."
Tian Xiaoyue bit her lip, hesitated, and said, "I have an unshirkable responsibility for Chen Guangzong and his men attacking Anwar. After all, it was me who caused it. I'm willing to pay compensation, even double it."
Lin Anran was stunned and looked at Tian Xiaoyue deeply: "Tian Xiaoyue is actually willing to pay compensation for Chen Guangzong?"
"I don't have that kind of relationship with Chen Guangzong, but he is my friend. He attacked Anwar because of me, so I should pay compensation." Tian Xiaoyue explained uneasily.
Lin Anran laughed out loud, angrily. "As expected of Mrs. Tian, it's quite generous of her to compensate her friend. But this involves Anhua and Anli, and they both need their consent. I don't make the decision."
She didn't care at all who paid the compensation, but Tian Xiaoyue offered to pay it herself, which was something Lin Anran had not thought of before she sat down.
Tian Xiaoyue: "Ms. Lin, shall I go see Anhua and Anli?"
Lin Anran glanced at Tian Xiaoyue and nodded slowly.
The reason why she nodded was because Lin Anli knew that Tian Xiaoyue would linger at the hospital entrance from time to time. After Lin Anhua also knew about it, he didn't know what the twin siblings discussed privately, but they told Lin Anran that if Tian Xiaoyue wanted to see them, they could just meet.
Lin Anran watched Tian Xiaoyue walk into the ward, but she didn't follow. She stood by the wall at the door with Zhang Yan, who had been following her. Suddenly, she asked, "Zhang Yan, do you have a younger sister-in-law?"
"Yes." Zhang Yan turned to look at his employer, but saw that Lin Anran's expression was normal and there was nothing unusual about it.
Lin Anran asked with interest: "Then how do you get along with them?"
Unfortunately, whether in her past life or this life, she has younger brothers and sisters, but she has very little experience in being an older sister. Not to mention her past life, in this life, she is nominally the older sister of the twins, and occasionally shows concern, but such concern is only superficial. In fact, she often does not consider herself a sister and forgets about the twins. After all, she is busy with her own affairs and has little time and energy to devote to others.
It was only during the days when Lin Anli and Lin Anhua were in the hospital that she began to feel a little more like an older sister, running around for them and taking care of everything so that they could rest assured and recuperate in the hospital.
"If they don't obey me, I'll beat them up. After that, they'll behave themselves. I'm the eldest sister in the family, and my four younger siblings all admire me and are obedient." Zhang Yan said naturally.
After hearing this, Lin Anran choked. She suddenly turned her head to look at Zhang Yan, who looked as if it was a matter of course, with surprise in her eyes.
Zhang Yan said jokingly, "Obedience comes from sticks. They have thick buttocks and can't be damaged."
Lin Anran: “…”
Zhang Yan's method is simple and crude, but very effective.
Unfortunately, it is not suitable for Lin Anran, and Lin's parents would not beat their children, and it is even more impossible for Lin Anran to beat his younger siblings.
Lin Anran unexpectedly thought of Zhou Heyuan and Zhou Yunxue. She saw the whole process of how Zhou Heyuan handled Zhou Yunxue's matter. It must be said that Zhou Heyuan's method seemed inhumane, but the help to Zhou Yunxue was real. Zhou Heyuan also really considered Zhou Yunxue. After Zhou Yunxue decided to study hard to repeat the grade and take the college entrance examination, he spent money and effort to hire an experienced teacher to give Zhou Yunxue extra lessons, but did not interfere with Zhou Yunxue's choice.
Money power is indeed the most powerful! Lin Anran thought Zhou Heyuan's method was very good and she could learn from it. Of course, her money power was not as strong as Zhou Heyuan's, and she did not intend to take on too much. She was willing to provide the money to support Lin Anhua and Lin Anli's advancement.
However, no matter how much she thought about it, the twins might not be willing to accept her financial support. These two unlucky children did not have goals like Zhou Yunxue. She had not seen them for a long time and wondered if they had changed at all after going to night college.
If they still didn't change their minds, would she have to watch them continue working in the factory? Then, when they were old enough, she could find someone who also worked in the factory, marry them, and have children...
Thinking of this, Lin Anran shook her body and couldn't think any further. She began to hope that Lin Anli would figure it out sooner and tell her directly if she had something to say. She really wanted to know what Lin Anli was hiding in her heart.
Tian Xiaoyue left with red eyes and staggered a little when she walked.
Lin Anran just glanced at them, then turned and walked into the ward. Looking at the relaxed Lin Anli and Lin Anhua, he asked, "Have you talked it out with Tian Xiaoyue?"
Lin Anli and Lin Anhua nodded vigorously. They were willing to meet Tian Xiaoyue because they wanted to speak frankly with her and talk things out, and not continue to pester her.
Lin Anran didn't ask how they told Tian Xiaoyue, but Lin Anhua couldn't hold back her words. She opened her mouth and started to talk, "Sister, I rejected Tian Xiaoyue very seriously. I hope she finds someone she likes. Tian Xiaoyue stared at me for a long time, and I almost got goosebumps. Then she nodded and agreed, saying that she would not pursue me again. She also apologized to me. Sigh."
"Why are you sighing?" Lin Anran looked at Lin Anhua with amusement.
Lin Anhua: "Sister, I feel awkward when I see Tian Xiaoyue. Fortunately, I don't have to see her again in the future."
"Sister, Tian Xiaoyue said she would pay the compensation, but I didn't agree. I said the compensation must be paid by Chen Guangzong and the other six people who beat us up. We were not beaten by Tian Xiaoyue, so there is no reason to take compensation from her." Lin Anli said.
Lin Anran nodded. It was fine as long as the twins made their own choices, and she would not interfere.
The day before being discharged from the hospital, Lin Anli finally found Lin Anran to talk alone. The two sisters found a place in the hospital where they could talk privately. Lin Anli's leg injury was basically healed and she could walk and stand.
"Sister, will you take Anhua and me to live in the house you bought?" Lin Anli asked softly.
Lin Anran blinked and thought about the first house she bought in Shenzhen's South Garden, which was also the only one she bought with a loan. It had been fully decorated and was now being ventilated to remove the odor. Of course, she was lazy and handed this task to Sister Pan, so the house was not habitable yet.
"I'm taking you to live in the house I bought." Lin Anran said calmly. The Mingyuan villa is also her house.
Lin Anli breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "It just so happens that Anhua and I want to go see your house. Once we know where you live, it will be convenient for us to come visit you."
Lin Anran said, "You should go to my house to get to know me."
Lin Anli fell silent, then quietly turned her head to look at An Jing, who was watching Lin Anran outside, and couldn't help but ask, "Sister, don't you want to ask what I want to tell you?"
"Yeah?" Lin Anran smiled at her soothingly, "You'll say it when you want to. Now I can be a patient listener."
Lin Anli was stunned and forced a smile. "Thank you, sister. If you hadn't shown up in time that day, I don't know what I would have done."
When they were beaten that day, Lin Anhua and Lin Anli could not withstand six adult men at all, and the people around them were also afraid and did not dare to come forward to help for fear of getting into trouble. This was because the five men brought by Chen Guangzong were well-known thugs in the neighborhood, the kind that had been there before. Everyone was afraid of being retaliated by these thugs afterwards because similar things had happened before. These guys were local tyrants, and who would dare to confront them?
Lin Anli was afraid that Lin Anhua would be beaten to death. After being hospitalized, she woke up in the middle of the night for several nights. She was also afraid that Lin Anhua would really become a fool. He was already stupid and couldn't get any more stupid.
Lin Anran silently looked at Lin Anli, whose eyes were red. She reached out and gently hugged her, her voice incredibly soft: "It's okay, you and Anhua are safe, no one will beat you again."
Lin Anli sniffed hard: "Yeah! I know, sister, you are very powerful." Her sister is a strong support for her and Anhua in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. Lin Anli is very aware of this, just like when she was a child.
"Sister, I want to become a powerful person, but working in an electronics factory won't make me powerful, right?" Lin Anli asked in a muffled voice.
"Of course not." Lin Anran's eyes lit up and he answered without hesitation.
Yay, she finally got what she was waiting for!
Lin Anran breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then what kind of powerful person do you want to become?" Lin Anran asked curiously.
Lin Anli said with bright eyes: "The best way I can think of is to read."
Lin Anran was very surprised. He didn't expect that after all the twists and turns, Lin Anli would think of studying?
"Are you sure?"
Lin Anli smiled sheepishly. "Sure, sister. I want to repeat my second year of high school. During my two years at night college, my English teacher praised me. I even dragged Anhua along to audit other high school courses. Although there's still a lot I don't understand, I want to learn."
"Have you had this idea a long time ago?" Lin Anran realized that Lin Anli's change of mind was not due to Lin Anhua being beaten up by a group of people. At most, this incident accelerated Lin Anli's decision.
"right."
"Anhua is repeating his second year of high school with you?"
"Anwar had other plans."
Lin Anran paused and looked at Lin Anli: "Have you already discussed this?"
Lin Anli gave her sister a flattering smile. "Anhua told me to go back to high school. He worked hard to earn money for my education. I don't want his money while I'm in high school. The money I earn should be enough for two years of high school tuition and living expenses."
"Are you planning to go back to your hometown county to attend high school?" Lin Anran interrupted her.
Lin Anli nodded.
Lin Anran: "You should know what the teaching staff in the county is like."
Lin Anli pursed her lips. Indeed, the teaching staff in their county middle school was not that good. Only a limited number of people were admitted to universities every year, let alone good universities.
"Consider whether you want to stay in Shenzhen to attend high school and then return to your hometown to take the college entrance examination." Lin Anran made her suggestion without any hesitation. The college entrance examination now uses the national test paper, and the teachers in Shenzhen are much better than those in their hometown.
"Just tell me whether you want to or not, don't worry about other issues."
Influenced by Lin Anran's tough attitude, Lin Anli mustered up the courage and immediately said, "Sister, I want to." She had attended night school, and the English teacher at night school was better than the English teacher at their county high school. She felt this deeply, and the same was true for teachers of other subjects. Otherwise, Lin Anli would not have thought of repeating high school, because she had learned it.
Lin Anli is not a gifted student. If the teacher does not teach clearly, she really cannot learn. So having a good teacher makes a whole different difference.
Lin Anran patted Lin Anli's head with satisfaction: "That's right, just say it if you want to."
Since Lin Anli is willing to go back to school, she must of course strongly support her. No matter what the final result is, Lin Anli has finally taken an important step.
"Anli, did you tell me you wanted to go back to school?" Lin Anhua looked at Lin Anran, then at Lin Anli, nodded happily, and then said loudly, "Sister, I've decided what I want to do. I want to be a super-powerful chef, and I've already found a master for myself!"
Lin Anran: "So fast?"
Lin Anhua scratched his head and chuckled, "Master hasn't agreed to accept me as his disciple yet. I've been in the hospital for so long and haven't pestered Master to become his disciple. I wonder if Master has forgotten me."
Lin Anran: “…”
