When Lin Yu saw the beautifully crafted business card, he was stunned for only a second before taking it. Who could refuse the kindness of Mrs. Ji?
"Thank you, Auntie." Lin Yu smiled sweetly at her.
Ji's mother nodded in appreciation, and became more and more satisfied with Lin Yu. As the saying goes, the hardest thing to repay is a favor. You may say that this thing is valuable, but it does depend on how the other party uses it.
But the problem was solved if Lin Yu accepted her business card. Isn't this better than something unknown?
When she came, she had already found out Lin Yu's identity. She was an illegitimate daughter who was kicked out by the Lin family. If her request was to deal with the Lin family, it was not impossible, but it would be a bit troublesome to do so.
Eliminating the Lin family without any excuse would be fatal to the entire Kyoto and even the entire Chinese nation. The Ji family has always won people over with virtue and would not use force if possible. Ji's mother did not want Lin Yu to make this request.
Of course, she also believed that Lin Yu was a sensible person and would not make such a request. After all, Lin Zhiyuan was her biological father, and she probably didn't want him to die.
Ji Yu was standing behind his mother, and he probably couldn't have imagined that in just a few seconds, his mother had already thought of destroying the Lin family and then letting them go.
"Little girl, how is your arm? Does it still hurt?" Mother Ji looked at Lin Yu with concern, as if she was caring about her own child. The only regret in her life was that she did not give birth to a daughter.
It is really uncomfortable to face the seriousness of two grown men every day. She prefers to be close to her sweet and soft daughter rather than her son.
It’s a pity that Ji Jiaguan only had one child, and all of them were boys, and no accidents had happened in hundreds of years.
"It's okay." Although Lin Yu was afraid of pain, a long time had passed since yesterday and she had long been accustomed to the pain. It would be uncomfortable to really speak, but she could endure it.
"Auntie brought you some cakes, you can have some to neutralize the pain."
Without waiting for Lin Yu to say anything, Ji's mother turned around to get something. Ji Yu and Ji's father were not surprised at her hurried look and made way for her.
When Ji's mother came back, she was carrying an exquisitely packaged box. The outside was covered with a piece of embroidered cloth with auspicious cloud patterns embroidered on it in pink. It was obviously very valuable.
She put it on the cabinet and unpacked it. Inside was a wooden box, divided into nine compartments. In each compartment was a piece of exquisite pastry, with various colors competing for beauty. Each pastry had a different shape, some round, some flower-shaped.
"This is Peach Blossom Pastry, White Magnolia Pastry, and Taro Jesus..."
Ji's mother explained everything to Lin Yu one by one as if she were her own child, and did not look at her with prejudice just because of her illegitimate identity.
The mistake was made by the adults, not the children.
Lin Yu was a little surprised. Ji's mother was too enthusiastic, which made her feel a little overwhelmed. However, Ji Yu, who was standing behind Ji's mother, rarely spoke up: "Mom, don't scare her."
In his opinion, Lin Yu was just a little girl who had just reached adulthood. She had a complicated life experience and had taken a bullet for him, so naturally he had to speak well of her.
"Hmm?" Ji's mother turned around and glanced at him, wondering, when did this taciturn guy ever speak up for other girls?
Being stared at by her, Ji Yu turned his eyes away and looked elsewhere. Ji's mother was a little curious about his reaction. Is there something wrong with her son?
Mother Ji turned around and said with a smile, "Auntie was a little enthusiastic, didn't she scare you?"
"No." Lin Yu shook his head, and Ji's mother smiled even more happily, "That's good, come and have some cake first, and the dishes will be delivered later. You can't eat spicy food because you are injured. I have already given the order."
"good!"
At the hospitality of Ji's mother, Lin Yu picked up a piece of pink peach blossom pastry and started eating it. The crust of the peach blossom pastry was crispy, and he could taste the fragrance of the peach blossom pastry with every bite.
In his previous life, when Lin Yu was rich, he often patronized an old-fashioned pastry shop. The peach blossom pastry there was also very delicious, but this kind of peach blossom pastry was even better than that one, not greasy at all, and made people want to eat it again after taking one bite.
Lin Yu never treats her stomach badly. She opens her mouth whenever she wants to eat. She finishes the cake in three bites. Mother Ji quickly pours a glass of warm water and says, "Eat slowly, girl."
Lin Yu: ???
She restrained herself because there were outsiders around, otherwise she would have been so aggressive.
She took the water with a red face and took a sip. Ji's mother brought it to her and asked her to take it. Lin Yu thought both of them looked good and was a little confused about what to choose.
Ji's mother also noticed her dilemma and pointed to the white magnolia pastry in the middle and said, "I like the taste of this. You can try it. This is a taste specially prepared by our chef at home. You can't get it outside."
This one sentence made Lin Yu understand that only rich people can enjoy delicious food. Pastry chefs of this level are privately owned. It’s really... really that wealth is dazzling.
Lin Yu picked up the Magnolia Pastry and looked at it carefully. This pastry was all white and looked more ordinary than the others, but it could make the knowledgeable mother Ji say that she liked it, so it must have its advantages.
Unlike the first time, she took small sips of the pastry. As soon as she took a bite, Lin Yu was amazed by the taste of the pastry. Her eyes widened a little, "Delicious!"
"Is that so?" Ji's mother had an expression on her face that said the food I recommended must be delicious. She didn't have any sense of oppression from an elder at all. Lin Yu found it very easy to get along with her.
Father Ji glanced at Ji Yu, and the two of them walked towards the sofa in tacit understanding. Lin Yu fed the child while the other was responsible for eating. The scene was unexpectedly harmonious, and it didn't feel like the first time they met.
Seeing Lin Yu eating like a little squirrel with his mouth bulging, Ji's mother's heart melted. Lin Yu's appearance was bright and charming, as if he was completely born in Ji's mother's heart, making her want to get close to him.
On the other side of the sofa, Ji's father glanced at Lin Yu and asked, "Is it this girl who provided the information that led to the arrest of those spies?"
"Yes, that's what the police said." Ji Yu stared at Lin Yu. He felt that she was like a mystery. He could run into a different side of her every time.
Although she always looked a little disheveled every time I saw her, her eyes were always full of light.
This made Ji's father even more puzzled. If he had not investigated Lin Yu's background and knew that she was a special personnel of a state department, he would have suspected that she was an accomplice of the spy and deliberately exposed her companion so that he could get close to Ji Yu.
In the next few days, whenever Ji's mother had time, she would come to feed Lin Yu. Lin Yu also became familiar with this aunt and liked the way she got along with him. Ji Yu also came from time to time, but Lin Yu had nothing to say to him.
Shen Xue and Wang Xiuying often saw Ji's mother, but every time they came, it was when Ji's mother was about to leave, and the three of them didn't talk much.
"I'm sorry to bother you. I let you live in my house and made you come here every day." Lin Yu was full of apologies. Her original intention was to let the two of them come here to relax and not let the Li family disturb them, but in the end, they had to come to take care of her again.
"What are you talking about?" Shen Xue tapped Lin Yu's head gently. "I treat you as my sister, and you thank me? That's too formal."
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault." Lin Yu quickly admitted his mistake and his attitude was extremely nice.
Shen Xue and Wang Xiuying looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
At this moment, the door was pushed open. Lin Yu thought it was Director Zheng, but unexpectedly it was Officer Chen. He came in with a basket of fruit. Seeing Shen Xue and Wang Xiuying, he smiled and greeted them, "Hello, I'm Xiaolin."
