Chapter 218 Should we take his pulse?
"What good would it do to tell you?" Shen Ju skillfully sliced the steak with his knife. "In the Lin family, he's like this steak, completely at their mercy. Such a person has no value to our Shen family."
“Dad.” Shen Lanxiao frowned. “How can you measure a person by such a value? You should know very well how outstanding Fei Yan is. Before his accident, he was not even 18 years old and had already managed the Lin family business very well…”
"So what?" Shen Ju's eyes were calm and ruthless: "Isn't he still a cripple? He even needs Lin Younan to manage a small Linqi Shopping Mall for him."
"He just hasn't had the opportunity yet. If you're willing to entrust the Shen family business to him..."
"Impossible!" Shen Ju interrupted Shen Lanxiao: "Don't even think about it! Our Shen family can form a marriage alliance with the Lin family, but the marriage partner will definitely not be Lin Feiyan!"
"But Lin Younan already has a girlfriend."
"I know, she's also a daughter of the Ye family." Shen Ju sneered, "Do you think Lin Yunshan would allow both of his sons to marry daughters of the Ye family?"
"Dad, don't you think this is unimportant?"
"Then what's important?"
Shen Lanxiao paused for a moment: "If Lin Younan has someone else in his heart, then what am I?"
"Xiaoxiao, love isn't the most important thing in marriage," Shen Ju said with the air of someone who'd been there all along. "Interests are."
"dad……"
“Even if Lin Younan has someone else in his heart, be generous and give him his freedom. No matter what, you are still the mistress of the house!” Shen Ju tapped her fingers on the table: “That’s the most important thing.”
Shen Lanxiao understood. She lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly for a moment: "Dad, what will you do if I get married? What will happen to the Shen family business? If I'm still here, at least I can help you manage the company. After all, I'm a professional who studied abroad..."
“You don’t need to worry about the Shen family.” Shen Ju said casually while eating his steak, “Your younger brother will be 18 soon, so the future of the Shen family will naturally be handed over to him.”
Shen Lanxiao was stunned for a moment and then she understood completely. Looking at the exquisite plate in front of her, she suddenly felt that she was just like the beef on the plate.
In the Shen family, she was nothing more than a bargaining chip that could be given away at any time, a bargaining chip that her father used to exchange for benefits.
Her eyes narrowed slightly; she firmly believed that her destiny should be in her own hands.
So, it's time to talk to Lin Younan.
...
Lin Feiyan escorted Ye Qingning to the bottom of the teaching building, watching her walk briskly upstairs with her bag on her back. Before turning the corner, she even poked her head out and waved to him, looking quite spirited.
He lowered his eyes and smiled, a warm feeling rising in his heart.
This is exactly the kind of Ye Qingning he wants—full of sunshine and vitality.
Although he was still somewhat displeased that she was about to face so many unfamiliar gazes from various men.
But he had looked at photos and information about all the boys in the class beforehand, and he was quite certain of one thing: none of them were as handsome as him.
That's the confidence I have.
Lin Feiyan chuckled softly, as if he had become a little narcissistic after being showered with compliments by Ye Qingning.
"Sir, where are we going next?" the driver asked, noticing that Lin Feiyan was in a good mood.
"No entertainment to speak of." Lin Feiyan rolled up the window, and the car started moving.
Lin Younan has been acting rather restless lately, colluding with some smaller companies to try and take down Wuyu Entertainment.
Lin Feiyan intended to teach him a lesson.
...
Ye Qingning was exceptionally enthusiastic during her morning classes, and she even managed to suppress the drowsiness that occasionally popped into her head.
Lin Feiyan originally wanted her to go back to the house for lunch, but Ye Qingning coaxed him a couple of times and he agreed to let her go to see Jian Yan.
"I really can't do anything with you." Lin Feiyan's message to her was visibly filled with helplessness.
Ye Qingning sent a wink emoji: "Ayan, you're the best."
As soon as Ye Qingning stepped out of the teaching building, she saw two people standing under the big tree at the entrance; they were Jian Yan and Chen Ci.
Ye Qingning ran over and hugged Jian Yan: "Ahhh, I'm finally your classmate!"
Jian Yan was overflowing with girlfriend power, directly hugging her and spinning her around twice, making Chen Ci laugh so hard he raised his hand to his forehead: "You two have had enough, I'm still standing here."
Ye Qingning let go of Jian Yan and stood still. She was probably a little dizzy from turning around. She staggered a bit but was firmly supported by Chen Ci: "What's wrong?"
Ye Qingning laughed: "It's all because my strong goddess made me dizzy."
"Are you sure you're alright?" Chen Ci asked with a serious expression. "Should we take your pulse?"
"No need." Ye Qingning grabbed Jian Yan's arm and shook it: "Does your Chen Ci have some kind of occupational hazard? Why does he always want to take people's pulses?"
Jian Yan blushed, glanced at Chen Ci subconsciously, and pulled Ye Qingning forward, saying, "Don't talk nonsense, it's not my family's."
"It's not like that yet," Ye Qingning said softly. "Keep going, it'll happen sooner or later."
Jian Yan smiled and pinched her, and the two of them burst into laughter.
Chen Ci followed behind at a leisurely pace, a smile playing on his lips.
This kind of life is fine.
He dared not ask for too much.
...
Since Ye Qingning's novelty hadn't worn off, the three of them went to the cafeteria, but chose a place with a private room, which was relatively quiet.
After all the dishes were served, Ye Qingning took a very serious picture and sent it to Lin Feiyan: "Our lunch."
She put her phone aside and called the other two people to eat. Jian Yan nudged her with her elbow: "Report your whereabouts to your Mr. Lin?"
Ye Qingning nodded: "Yes."
"So loving!"
"I'd like to."
In short: "Tch, you're just showing off to a single guy like me."
"Then you should hurry up and find a partner." Ye Qingning glanced at Chen Ci: "Isn't there a perfect, single young man right across the street?"
Jian Yan blushed and raised her hand to punch her: "...I'm not talking to you anymore."
Just then, Ye Qingning's phone screen lit up with a ding, and Chen Ci glanced at it subconsciously and was stunned for a moment.
Ye Qingning picked up her phone and checked the message from Lin Feiyan: "Eat well."
She smiled and replied, "I know, you too."
After putting her phone away, Ye Qingning heard Chen Ci chuckle and tease her, "So you have couple photos now?"
Ye Qingning chuckled: "That's right, I'm here to go to school, so of course I need to give Mr. Lin enough sense of security!"
Chen Ci asked with a smile, "Are you sure you haven't studied psychology?"
"No," Ye Qingning said while gnawing on a chicken foot.
Jian Yan added for her, "That's just how Qing Ning is. She and Mr. Lin are like tofu curdled with brine, one thing subdues the other."
Chen Ci deeply agreed: "Such is fate."
In short, I'm baffled: "You're a psychologist, how can you believe in fate?"
Chen Ci's gaze lingered on Ye Qingning for a moment before he murmured, "Sometimes you have to believe it."
Ye Qingning was happily munching on chicken feet when she heard this and looked up: "You guys eat quickly. Dating shouldn't interfere with eating, or it'll get cold."
