"Okay, okay. Uncle Liu, let him come with me." Lin Yitang really couldn't stand the old man nagging her with a worried look on his face, so she had to agree reluctantly.
Xiao Chen was a retired soldier who worked as a bodyguard for the Wen family. He was a burly man with a simple and honest appearance. He had never seen someone who looked so fairy-like before, so he stammered, "Madam, hello."
Lin Yitang smiled and said, "Good afternoon, Xiao Chen."
Her skin was whiter than snow, her eyes like clear water, and when she looked around, she exuded an unattainable elegance that made people dare not offend. Her smile was like the melting of ice and snow on the mountains, revealing a bit of brightness. Xiao Chen didn't dare look directly at her, and the heat instantly spread to his neck.
Lin Yitang originally planned to go to the city center to eat something, but in the car he happened to see an alley next to him that was crowded with people and very lively.
After telling Xiao Chen to park the car on the side of the road, she got out and said, "You can go back or go shopping on your own. I'll call you to pick me up later."
Xiao Chen remembered the housekeeper's instructions and spoke hesitantly, "Madam, housekeeper Liu told me to follow you and not let anyone bump into you."
"No need. You go back first." Lin Yitang said without question.
Xiao Chen agreed and had no choice but to drive away.
The Lantern Festival is approaching, and everywhere is filled with colorful lanterns, which are magnificent and the festive atmosphere is very strong.
Lin Yitang walked among the pedestrians, looking at the couples holding hands and smiling, the couples holding their children and smiling happily, and the elderly people walking slowly with crutches. Everyone was so happy and harmonious.
Lin Yitang lowered her eyes, thinking back to how her parents had died when she was young, how she had lived in an orphanage for as long as she could remember, and how she had lived alone until she was twenty-eight. In the end, she had only one friend, Tang Jiayi, and had never felt the warmth of family. Thinking of Tang Jiayi, Lin Yitang sighed. When she left, she was about to marry her boyfriend. She hoped he wouldn't delay the wedding because of her situation.
Life is like this. We think we're happy, but when we stumble upon someone else's happiness, we realize belatedly that we're not that happy after all. Never mind, the past is gone with the wind. Lin Yitang sniffed, trying to calm herself down.
After finishing her shopping, Lin Yitang was about to find a place to eat when her eyes suddenly swept to the front. A tall figure looked very familiar to her. After observing carefully for a while, a smile appeared on her lips. Oh, isn’t this Wen Hangxing?
Wen Hangxing keenly sensed someone behind him. As soon as he turned around, he saw a hand reaching out, and he quickly grabbed it.
"Wen Hangxing, what are you doing?" A voice with an obvious gasp sounded.
Wen Hangxing felt that the female voice sounded familiar. He looked closely and saw Lin Yitang, who was dressed casually and had a frown on his face.
"Sorry." He quickly let go of his hand and said subconsciously.
Lin Yitang shook off his pinched hand, not taking the incident seriously, and jokingly said, "Do you think I'm your suitor?"
Wen Hangxing was a little embarrassed, "No."
One of them was tall and straight, the other slender, and there was no sense of disobedience standing together, just like a couple. The group of people who followed Wen Hangxing not far away exchanged glances with each other.
A sharp female voice rang out: "Who are you? Why did you suddenly appear and touch others?"
Lin Yitang looked over and saw a girl staring at her angrily, with undisguised wariness and disgust in her eyes.
Lin Yitan moved closer to Wen Hangxing and asked quietly, "Your girlfriend?"
"No." Wen Hangxing looked at Li Jiaran, his ink-black eyes revealing undisguised coldness.
"Oh, then it seems to be your suitor." Lin Yitang nodded in understanding, without any further inquiry. After all, they were high school students, and falling in love was not a big deal. Besides, it was not her business to intervene.
But just because she doesn't want to get involved doesn't mean anyone wants her to get away with it.
Li Jiaran became even angrier when she saw that the woman not only ignored her but also moved closer to talk to Wen Hangxing. She walked over angrily and wanted to drag Lin Yitong away.
Wen Hangxing noticed her movements, reached out to protect Lin Yitang, and warned: "Li Jiaran, stay away from her."
Yan Junqi, who was watching the show on the side, put down his arms and habitually wanted to talk to the person next to him, but then he remembered that he had returned to the Jiang family and there was no one around to talk to, so he had to swallow the words in his mouth.
The farce over there was still going on. Li Jiaran's heart sank when she saw Wen Hangxing protecting that man. She cried and shouted, "Wen Hangxing, are you serious? I've liked you for ten years, from elementary school to junior high school. Our two families are well-matched, so why are you looking for an old woman who appeared out of nowhere?"
Li Jiaran said this, staring at Lin Yitan fiercely.
In fact, Lin Yitong does not look old. On the contrary, among a group of younger girls, she has an unconcealable charm of being experienced and calm.
Li Jiaran's words immediately angered the two people, and Lin Yitang's expression turned cold. She didn't want to get involved in the emotional entanglements between the children, but she was not a piece of clay that could be manipulated by anyone.
She looked at Li Jiaran for a few seconds and said calmly, "I don't know where your family is..."
Li Jiaran said proudly: "My father is Li Qishan."
Seeing that Lin Yitang didn't react, he sneered in his heart: It seems that this woman's status is not that great.
"My father and Uncle Wen have been partners for many years. I have known Wen Hangxing since I was a child and we are childhood sweethearts. I have seen many women like you who want to climb up the social ladder, but a powerful family like the Wen family will not let a woman like you who has no use except for her face into the house. Just give up on this idea." Li Jiaran said without thinking.
Lin Yitang smiled and said, "Whether I can enter the Wen family or not is not your concern, but I may still need your help in entering the Wen family."
Li Jiaran didn't understand, "What?"
A few quick-witted people nearby reacted and their eyes changed instantly as they stared at Lin Yitang.
Yan Junqi's eyes almost popped out. Oh my god, she couldn't be Wen Hangxing's stepmother, she's so young. Isn't Uncle Wen just an old cow eating young grass?
At this time, a girl next to Li Jiaran pulled her sleeve, signaling her to stop, but was pushed away by the angry Li Jiaran.
Lin Yitang looked at her with a hint of pity and said lightly, "What I mean is, whether you can enter the Wen family's gate still requires me to consider it."
Li Jiaran thought this woman was crazy. "Who are you? It's not your turn to make the decision."
"Unfortunately, I am Wen Zeli's newlywed wife. I think I can make the decisions regarding the Wen family's current affairs."
Li Jiaran stuttered, "You...you are..." She couldn't utter those three words for a long time.
"Yes, it's just what you think." Lin Yitang said calmly, without any change in his expression.
