The garden winds its way from floor to floor, and the scenery is endless everywhere.
Lin Yitang could even smell the fresh scent of grass and woods mixed with a faint chill, which made him feel refreshed and relaxed naturally.
Wen Zeli stopped at one place, his dark and deep eyes looking at a crescent-shaped spring in front of him, looking a little lonely.
Lin Yitang leaned over without thinking, "What's the matter?"
Seeing the crescent moon reflected in the clear water, Lin Yitang forgot about his quarrel with Wen Zeli and looked up and said, "Look, the moon is dancing."
Wen Zeli lowered his eyes and looked at her eyes that were shining with surprise. His heart was pounding and he had an urge to hug her in his arms.
"It looks good, right?" Wen Zeli said softly.
“Of course, there is a kind of dreamy and hazy beauty, like a veiled beauty, vague and looming, light and elegant.”
Wen Zeli: "Ji Bo is right. If she were still alive, she would really like you."
Lin Yitang felt that the heavy emotions on Wen Zeli's body suddenly dissipated, as if the shackles were removed and the whole person became lighter.
"Little cutie." Wen Zeli's eyes were complicated, as if he was just calling her.
Lin Yitang said seriously: "Mr. Wen, please note that this is still our Cold War period."
The implication is that you shouldn't look at her so tenderly, because she won't buy it.
Wen Zeli pulled her into his arms and said, "Let's have a truce today."
Lin Yitang curled her lips, but after noticing his inner uneasiness and hesitation, she softened her heart and did not push him away.
The layout of the garden was rugged and varied, with passages connecting and then separating from time to time. When Wen Hangxing found his unreliable parents, he discovered that they were hugging each other as if no one was around.
Wen Hangxing, sweating profusely: "..."
He was going to make a scene, he really was going to make a scene. The three of them were so emotionally crowded that there really wasn't a place for him at all.
Wen Hangxing didn't know whether to leave or stand still. He hesitated and said, "I say, this isn't a good idea to do this in public, right?"
Lin Yitang looked around, "Huh? Where is the person?"
Wen Hangxing gritted his teeth and said, "Am I not a human?"
Lin Yitang suddenly realized, "Oh, I forgot about you. Although I am not well-educated, I don't think you look like one."
Unlike what? It took Wen Hangxing a while to realize that she was indirectly calling him a non-human.
Wen Hangxing was furious, "Ms. Lin, you're done!"
Lin Yitang made a face at him, "Tsk."
Wen Hangxing immediately rushed forward to grab her, but was stopped by Wen Zeli. Wen Hangxing could only say angrily: "Come out, let's have a fair fight."
Lin Yitang looked at him as if he were a fool. "You have resources but you don't use them? I'm not a fool."
Wen Hangxing's anger was boiling up. "Ms. Lin, I've never seen a woman as cold-blooded, treacherous, and cunning as you!"
Lin Yitang replied completely nonchalantly: "Oh, so you've seen it now."
Even more lethal than confronting an opponent head-on is to treat them as nothing and ignore them completely. This is a well-known psychological tactic in the business world. Wen Hangxing has used it countless times in front of others, but he never thought he would one day use it himself.
Lin Yitang yawned, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes, "I'm a little sleepy."
Wen Zeli protected her with one hand and blocked Wen Hangxing's movements with the other hand, "Let's go back. It's getting late."
Lin Yitang walked in front and "inadvertently" smiled at Wen Hangxing behind him.
Wen Hangxing: “???”
Is this kind of provocation popular in today's society? I'm an educated person, don't lie to me.
On the way back, Lin Yitong and Wen Hangxing were arguing with each other, and Wen Zeli was in between to take charge of the situation.
No, actually it's taking sides.
The housekeeper saw the three of them coming back from afar. The young master and the second wife were bickering. The lady looked like a lively and cheerful seventeen-year-old girl. The first time he saw her, he noticed the vigorous and energetic vitality in her, like an ivy, always fresh and bright.
The second young master, who had been cold and cruel since childhood but liked to play people in a gentle way, had a genuine smile on his face. He was obviously protecting his wife with a care that he himself did not even notice.
The butler was in a trance for a moment, feeling so happy. If the eldest young master and his... were still alive, it would probably be the same.
What a pity! The housekeeper felt regretful. What a pity!
The old man next to me seemed to have fallen asleep in the chair, his face buried in the shadow, naturally forming a barrier around him to isolate himself from the outside world. The desolation here formed a sharp contrast with the hustle and bustle outside.
But he didn't know whether the old man would have the same idea as himself at some point in his life.
This is a mystery and also a scar in the old man's heart. The housekeeper will not reveal it, but that doesn't mean the old man himself won't.
The words "cause and effect" are truly a fatal blow.
"Go back to your room." A vicissitudes of life voice sounded in the silent room.
The butler lowered his head and replied, "Yes."
Finally, there was no one in the tea room. Only a cup of tea was left, which slowly went from steaming to cold. The unburned gray-white sandalwood ash fell into the tray. Only the white smoke that had not yet dissipated in the air revealed what had just happened.
When Lin Yitang went upstairs, he saw the butler by the door. He seemed to have been waiting there.
"Ji Bo?" Lin Yitong shouted.
"Second Madam, this is what the old gentleman asked me to give you." The butler handed over a box with a pear blossom pattern. The edges of the box were slightly yellow, and it looked quite old.
When Lin Yitang opened the box, he found that it was a piece of clear, smooth and delicate white jade, without a trace of impurities, which was very eye-catching.
Carefully touching the surface of the jade, Lin Yitang felt a hint of coolness. She was slightly stunned and asked tentatively, "Is this jade... River Jade?"
The housekeeper replied, "Yes, jade can nourish people. Wearing it can nourish the body and purify the mind."
Even without knowing much about jade, Lin Yitang knew that this piece of jade was very valuable. Given its grade, it should be in short supply. In terms of quality and feel, it was even more comfortable than the batch of top-notch materials that Citron Pavilion gave her to look at.
Lin Yitang immediately felt unworthy of the gift and declined, saying, "Uncle Ji, thank Dad for his kindness on my behalf, but this is too valuable. I can't accept it."
The butler pushed it back gently but firmly. "Since you are a member of the Wen family, you naturally deserve the best. This is also the heirloom that the old lady intended to leave to her daughter-in-law when she was alive. Please accept it."
Lin Yitang had no choice but to accept it. She now realized that there was no one with a gentle heart in the Wen family. Even if someone looked gentle on the outside, they were strong and decisive on the inside.
