This answer was very gentle and respectful to Lin Wanxing.
Lin Wanxing could only nod in agreement.
However, the two have not completely reconciled, and it seems that the wedding will have to be temporarily canceled.
Lin Wanxing was really worried about her second brother.
My second brother is going to inspect the Greenland project with Xie Xiaodong soon.
It's really driving me crazy! No matter what Lin Wanxing does, she can't persuade her second brother.
Butler Chen was mowing the lawn outside when he saw Lin Wanxing sitting under a tree, looking sullen. He was standing on a ladder, trimming the flower branches with scissors.
"Wanxing, could you hand me these tools?"
Lin Wanxing, who was holding a teddy bear, heard Butler Chen calling him and immediately put the teddy bear down and ran over.
Butler Chen took off his uniform and wore casual clothes and a large straw hat. He was pruning the flower branches with a smile. He was even wearing reading glasses today, and he was pruning the branches and leaves in the small yard with great care.
"Butler Chen, you can tell me what tools you need."
Butler Chen looked up at the messy branches above and said, "If these branches aren't trimmed, they'll block your kitchen window later, so you need to trim them as soon as possible."
"Wanxing, bring me that electric saw!" Butler Chen was the kind of person who wanted to take care of everything; this was originally the gardener's job, but he wanted to do it too.
"This?" Lin Wanxing found a chainsaw among the pile of tools on the ground, stood on tiptoe, and handed it to Butler Chen.
After taking the branch, Butler Chen began to cut it, asking as he did so, "Wanxing, how have things been between you and your husband lately?"
He still cares about Wanxing and Shen Huai'an. Wanxing is a kind and good child, so Butler Chen cares about her a lot. Wanxing and her husband are a match made in heaven. They are very compatible in terms of temperament and personality.
The most important thing is that they love each other.
"That's just how it is between my second brother and me!"
"We've discussed it, and the wedding is temporarily canceled."
Butler Chen was so shocked he almost fell off the ladder, but luckily Lin Wanxing stepped forward and caught him.
Butler Chen shouted in disbelief, "What?!"
"Why was it canceled? Wanxing, weren't you really looking forward to the wedding? Your husband was also seriously preparing for it. How could you two just decide not to get married like that?!"
Butler Chen had been eagerly anticipating the wedding, even more so than the two people involved. Upon hearing the news of its cancellation, he could hardly believe his ears.
"You two just had a little argument, how can you say you don't want to get married?"
Lin Wanxing gripped the ladder with both hands, the light in his eyes slowly fading. "This is actually not a small conflict. Because of Xie Xiaodong's appearance, I feel increasingly insecure. Although I know that my second brother has no feelings for him beyond friendship, I still get jealous."
"I still have a hard time getting over what happened with Xie Xiaodong last time, so let's talk about marriage later."
"I know that many people know that my second brother married me, and they are laughing at him behind his back."
The housekeeper felt extremely upset as soon as he heard the name Xie Xiaodong. He was clearly a good kid, so why did he cause so much trouble?
Butler Chen comforted her, saying, "Xie Xiaodong will always be Mr. Xie's friend, both then and now. His status will never change, so Wanxing, you don't need to care about him at all."
"It doesn't matter what outsiders think about this wedding. How many people have been laughing at Mr. over the years? Outsiders' opinions are unimportant. Wanxing, don't overthink it."
Lin Wanxing listened attentively to Butler Chen's words and asked, "So, Butler Chen, you and Xie Xiaodong are quite familiar with each other?"
Butler Chen clicked his tongue and said, "To be honest, I am indeed very familiar with him. Back in the old house, he was always by the master's side. At that time, not only me, but many people had seen Xie Xiaodong. However, the old master did not like this child. He did not allow the master to bring Xie Xiaodong back to the old house, nor did he allow the master to have too much contact with him."
"Later, my husband rarely took him back to the old house. But the boy seemed quite nice. He was sweet-talking, smart, and knew how to get things done. Anyway, many people in the old house liked him, including my husband's parents."
"Later he suddenly left. I heard he went to develop his career in another place. Even after Mr. Lian had several major incidents, he didn't come back. I thought he would never come back. But unexpectedly, he suddenly came back."
"The gentleman said he came back from his old house on his birthday."
Lin Wanxing recalled everything that happened at the old house that day. They were still eating when Xie Xiaodong slowly appeared from behind her second brother, mysteriously introduced by the old lady. Lin Wanxing thought for a moment and said, "His appearance is a pleasant surprise for my second brother!"
"What a surprise! But Wanxing, you don't need to care about his existence at all. He's just one of Mr. Qin's many friends. People like Mr. Qin, Dr. Xu, and Miss Fang are all Mr. Qin's friends. You don't need to care about him at all."
"If the gentleman really had even the slightest interest in him, he wouldn't be so troubled about your wedding."
"Some things cannot be judged by appearances alone."
That's what I've heard again. I feel like a lot of people have been saying this to me lately.
What does "surface" refer to?
He's too stupid; he can only see the superficial aspects of things.
After being comforted by Butler Chen, Lin Wanxing felt much more at ease.
After Butler Chen finished pruning the branches, he slowly went back.
On his way back, he saw his second brother hurrying towards him. He looked very anxious and asked, "Xingxing, have you seen a file folder?"
"I didn't see it. Did you forget where you put it?"
"It contains a confidential internal document about my relationship with the Fang family, which is why I rushed back to find it!" Shen Huai'an was genuinely anxious; he was even a little unsteady on his feet, leaning on his cane. Lin Wanxing, hearing that the document was so important, also became anxious and helped Shen Huai'an, asking:
"Such an important thing, did the maid accidentally put it somewhere else while tidying up?"
He genuinely didn't see any documents, and Shen Huai'an quickly dismissed the idea: "The servants wouldn't enter my study without permission."
