Li Ruorui hesitated, unsure how to explain to the children, but Lin Zhiluo's face was impossible to deny.
She glanced at her daughter, who was holding her close. This was the daughter they had doted on since she was little, the darling of their family.
At this moment, she realized something and looked at Li Ruorui with a sad expression, her doe-like eyes looking at her pitifully.
Li Ruorui said softly, "Let's talk about this when we get back."
They returned to their private room, where their family was having a long-awaited family dinner.
Lin Qiu, unaware of what his second son Lin Gaomin was saying, smiled broadly.
Seeing the three of them return together, Lin Qiu said with a smile, "Why did you take so long to go to the toilet? You have no idea how worried Sijie was about you."
Li Ruorui just gave a stiff smile.
She looked at the lively private room, where her eldest son Lin Simo, second son Lin Gaomin, youngest son Lin Hongxi, eldest daughter Lin Jiayue, and her youngest daughter Lin Sijie were present.
She should have been happy during such a lively and joyful time, so why did the face of that girl keep appearing in her mind?
"It's nothing, I just touched up my makeup," she said with a smile.
Looking at his mother, Lin Simo had many questions in his mind: who exactly was that girl?
Lin Sijie clenched her fists. In fact, she had known for a long time that she was not a child of the Lin family, but she had pretended not to know all these years.
She thought the world was so big, how could the child who had been switched at birth have found her?
I never expected to run into him in Beijing.
"What's wrong?" Lin Jiayue asked, somewhat surprised to see the sad expression on Lin Sijie's face.
Then he turned to look at Lin Simo, whose expression was also very unnatural.
She keenly noticed that the three people who had just returned all looked unwell.
"It's nothing!" Li Ruorui said with a smile, changing the subject.
Lin Jiayue also asked with a smile, "Did Big Brother and Sijie have a fight?"
Lin Simo rolled her eyes at her: "You have quite the imagination."
They then ate their meal in a fairly harmonious atmosphere.
But Lin Jiayue always felt that the atmosphere between her mother, her older brother, and Sijie was just not right.
Lin Zhiluo returned with a dark expression, which startled Qi Zhiyang. He was now sitting next to Lin Zhiluo.
"What's wrong?" Qi Zhiyang handed her a piece of fruit.
"I ran into the original owner's mother, brother, and that fake heiress." She rolled her eyes. "What bad luck."
"Or should we go to another place?" He knew that Lin Zhiluo wanted to avoid the Lin family.
“No need!” She shook her head firmly and refused. “Third time’s the charm. I’ve already met Lin Sheng and the original owner’s family today. I definitely won’t run into the Lin family again.”
Seeing Lin Zhiluo like this, Qi Zhiyang could only stop offering words of comfort and instead heat up some food for her.
Qi Zhiyang was mainly in charge of cooking, while Lin Zhiluo was in charge of eating.
Lin Zhilu sighed inwardly, thinking that her senior brother was still the same as before, taking such good care of them, his junior brothers and sisters.
After Lin Zhilu finished eating, he introduced his family members to her.
Lin Zhiluo said, "They are all very good people. No one will bully you in the Qi family in the future. It won't be like the novels and TV shows you watch, where you are made to suffer because of your background."
"In the Qi family, I am practically the one who has the final say." He has worked so hard for so many years just to have a voice, otherwise why would the Lin family have let him stay single for so long?
"I understand, Senior Brother. They've really messed with me. I, Lin Zhiluo, am not someone to be trifled with."
Qi Zhiyang nodded; she knew about Lin Zhiluo's methods from her past life.
There was once a wealthy man who used dirty tricks to change his family's luck; he used human lives to increase his wealth.
Later, when Lin Zhiluo met them, she simply changed the feng shui of their house. Not only did the wealth that the rich man had plundered dissipate, but the family also suffered a backlash and ended up with a bad ending.
But Lin Zhiluo later received merit, which made him very envious.
In the sect, the master was most worried about Lin Zhiluo. She was exceptionally talented and easily saw the most filthy and wicked side of human nature.
If she were to go astray one day, her abilities would be a great calamity for all schools of Taoism.
Later, seeing that Lin Zhiluo remained unchanged for a hundred years, Master was relieved.
But Qi Zhiyang believed from beginning to end that Lin Zhiluo was not the kind of person his master described.
"Let's go back after we've eaten. The production crew should be packing up soon. You can rest tomorrow, but you have to go back to school the day after." Qi Zhiyang already knew Lin Zhiluo's schedule. It has to be said that it's really convenient for Lin Zhiluo to have an agent.
"Then let's go back." Lin Zhiluo had no objection. She hoped to catch up with the classes after returning home. Although Ji Yuanzhou had found a master to give her online tutoring, what if it was different from what the school teachers taught?
"Oh, right!" As the two of them walked out, Lin Zhiluo remembered something. She looked at Qi Zhiyang and said, "Now that we're married... should we go to your house to meet your parents? If we don't go, will they think I'm ill-mannered?"
"No! Your affairs are the most important. If you're not mentally prepared, don't force yourself." Lin Zhiluo was so easy to understand.
In this world, she only trusts herself and is wary of others. When she mentioned going to meet his family, there was a struggle in her eyes.
He wouldn't make Lin Zhilu do things she didn't like.
Suddenly, Qi Zhiyang stopped in his tracks, his eyes fixed on another direction.
Lin Zhiluo also stopped and followed his gaze, rolling her eyes.
Qi Zhiyang said in a low voice, "It seems your 'three strikes and you're done' rule isn't working anymore."
Lin Zhiluo gave Qi Zhiyang an elbow strike, but the force was like a tickle to him.
"Senior Brother, you don't need to say anything now. Let's pretend we didn't see anything and go in another direction."
Qi Zhiyang found it amusing; their eyes were already locked, so how could he pretend not to see them?
Qi Zhiyang whispered his advice: "It's obviously not a good idea to just turn around and leave now. You have to pretend that you don't know anything about this. After all, you only know Lin Sheng from the Lin family."
Lin Zhilu suddenly realized: That's right!
She's getting stuck on something.
With Qi Zhiyang's advice, she put on a cold face again.
Lin Qiu spotted Lin Zhiluo walking towards him at a glance, and was surprised to find that her face was even more striking than the one on TV.
Her face was aloof, and he subconsciously tensed up, remembering how his mother had scolded her before.
Lin Zhiluo spoke to Qi Zhiyang, her eyes merely glancing at them indifferently.
The whole family stopped in their tracks, all staring at Lin Zhiluo's face.
Lin Zhilu frowned as they stared at her.
Qi Zhiyang also looked at them, then put his arm around Lin Zhiluo and left.
Once out of the Lin family's sight, Lin Zhilu complained, "They probably won't remember their mother and grandmother when they see me."
She looked at Qi Zhiyang: "You have no idea how much the grandmother in the photos Lin Sheng showed me looked like the original owner of this body."
“You are not like that.” Qi Zhiyang shook his head.
