Chapter 55 She's my own sister, how can I say a few words...?
A moment later, she brought over several sheets of paper, all filled with short stories. They were humorous and interesting, showing the naivety of a young girl, but also full of inspiration and imagination, both romantic and realistic.
Shen Rong gave a thumbs up: "Little sister was right, you're really good, you have the talent to be a writer!"
Lin Wenhui nodded in agreement: "The writing is delicate and inspired, and the imagination is bold; it is indeed a fine work."
Jiang Yufen blushed; she had never received so much praise before and felt a little embarrassed.
I always felt that they were just being polite, and that they weren't really that nice.
Shen Rong: "How about I submit your story for publication and let everyone judge whether it's well-written or not?"
Lu Xuan was the first to agree: "That's great! If it gets published, Second Sister-in-law should use the money from the article to treat us to a meal."
Jiang Yufen was somewhat tempted.
Lin Wenhui secretly asked Shen Rong if she knew any newspaper editors.
He had originally wanted Kang Wenbai to introduce him to a few women, but then he remembered his entanglement with Shen Rong and swallowed his words.
Shen Rong guessed what she was going to say: "Forget about Kang Wenbai, I don't want to deal with him anymore, given all the mess he's made of."
Lin Wenhui gave a wry smile.
Indeed, Kang Wenbai is currently facing a major headache. Miss Guo is relentlessly pursuing him, and his ex-wife seems to be making a comeback, using the children and his parents as an excuse to show concern for him.
"I should have a way."
Isn't Hu Peifang's husband, Lao Wu, the editor-in-chief of the magazine? You should be able to contact him.
She folded up a few sheets of paper and said to Jiang Yufen, "Wait for my good news."
Lin Wenhui smiled and said to Jiang Yufen, "You can go to our university's Chinese department. There are many talented writers like you in the literary society. You can exchange ideas and discuss things with each other."
Jiang Yufen also wanted to, but she was only here for a short visit and was afraid she wouldn't be able to study like Lu Xuan.
Lin Wenhui felt a little regretful upon hearing this.
"However, you can audit the class first; you just need to go to the school to complete the formalities."
Lu Xuan was tempted: "Then I'll go audit the classes too. I've decided, I want to study Chinese literature. Second sister-in-law, will you come with me?"
She thought for a moment. Her sister-in-law was heavily pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to go, and her eldest brother was busy. So she decided to have her second brother accompany them.
Lin Wenhui smiled and said, "Welcome! When you get to the school, remember to come find me. I'll show you around. Our university has pretty nice scenery."
Lin Wenhui came mainly to thank Lu Lin and Shen Rong for their help at the police station last time, and secondly to tell Shen Rong about the time to go to Longquan Temple.
They decided to go next Friday, and if Shen Rong came along, they would come to pick her up.
Shen Rong smiled and said, "Of course I'll go, I definitely will." Receiving Lu Xuan's longing look, she added, "Would you mind if there were a few more people?"
"A large group of people makes it lively, of course."
Shen Rong said, "There are many of us, so we can go by ourselves. You won't need to come and pick us up. We'll make up at Longquan Temple."
Lin Wenhui also thought it was a good idea.
A moment later, she shyly took out an invitation from her bag: "We don't know many people in Bincheng. I was thinking that if you and Director Lu have time, we would like to invite you for a drink."
Looking at the red "double happiness" character, Shen Rong exclaimed, "You're getting married!"
Lin Wenhui nodded, blushing, "Yes, we don't plan to have a big celebration. We'll just invite some friends to witness this simple event."
Shen Rong remembered that their wedding in her dream was very grand. It was even published in the newspapers. Some newspapers even dug up Lu Lin and Shen Rong's wedding from back then to compare it. Both were sensational and well-matched. Some people secretly placed bets on whether this couple would also divorce after a few years, just like Shen Rong and her husband.
But as it turns out, they were very much in love, and their relationship, which had gone through life and death, could withstand the test.
But now, Lin Wenhui has surprisingly said she doesn't plan to hold a big event.
"Have you discussed this with your family?" Shen Rong asked.
Lin Wenhui nodded: "Marriage is a matter between the two of us. We don't want it to be too complicated, and our elders are very supportive."
Shen Rong smiled and congratulated her, "I will definitely come."
Lu Xuan snatched the wedding invitation: "I'm coming too! Sister Lin, are you having a Western-style wedding? Do you want bridesmaids? I'm available!"
Lin Wenhui smiled: "I was just worried about not being able to find anyone, so I'll have to trouble Miss Lu."
"Sister Lin, you can call me Little Sister too, that's what everyone in the family calls me."
"Little sister."
She looked at Jiang Yufen and said, "I also hope that you and your husband can grace us with your presence."
With more than half a month until the wedding, Jiang Yufen wasn't sure if they would still be in Bincheng by then: "If we are still in Bincheng, we will definitely come."
Time flew by, and it was almost dinnertime when Lin Wenhui prepared to say goodbye.
"Stay for dinner, Sister Lin."
Shen Rong also warmly invited them to stay for a meal.
Lin Wenhui politely declined, saying, "Rong Yi is still waiting for me at home."
Shen Rong smiled and said, "Then let's call him over too." As she spoke, she prepared to make a phone call.
Lu Xuan: "Yes, that's perfect, we can play cards for a while. Sister Lin, you know how to play cards, right?"
Lin Wenhui's eyes lit up as she looked at the card table not far away, feeling a real urge to play.
Shen Rong laughed. This was something that hadn't been mentioned in the dream. He pushed her toward the card table: "Let's go, let's play cards. Let's make it clear first, I'm really good at cards."
Lu Xuan chuckled and snatched the seat, saying, "I'm really good too."
Lin Wenhui had already begun skillfully shuffling the cards: "I'm just so-so."
Everyone suddenly laughed.
Lu Xuan explained, "My sister-in-law said the same thing the first time she played against us, and then she won a lot of money from me. Sister Lin, you can't pretend to be modest."
Lin Wenhui changed her words: "Actually, it was also good luck."
The female lead, who loves playing cards, suddenly seems to have become more down-to-earth.
The four men began building the Great Wall, and the noise alerted the people in the next room.
Shen Jiashi complained, "It's starting again. Aren't they tired? Lu Lin, don't you think Arong has changed?"
Lu Lin didn't even look up: "I didn't feel anything."
"Look at her now, she loves playing cards and swearing. Her temper has really changed a lot." The more he talked about her, the more he felt that she was a complete stranger.
He leaned closer to Lu Lin and whispered, "Don't you think Arong is really different from before? Look, she just praised that Miss Lin with such admiration. She used to be so competitive, arrogant and domineering because of her talent. She couldn't stand any woman who was better than her. And she even bought a beginner's English dictionary." This was something she used to find shameful.
Lu Lin closed the book and looked at him: "I don't think so. She's always been like this. You just don't understand her. Also, I bought that dictionary."
"Isn't she doing well the way she is now? Isn't it a good thing that her temper has changed?"
Seeing his serious expression, anyone who didn't know better would think that he was the older brother.
"I was just saying," Shen Jiashi said awkwardly. He didn't think she was bad at all. Judging from Lu Lin's tone, she treated him like a vicious older brother.
Lu Lin said, "You'd better not say this in front of her, lest she overthink it." With that, he pushed open the door and left.
Shen Jiashi looked at Lu You beside him and said, "What does your older brother mean? Can't I even say it? I was just wondering why Shen Rong's temper has changed. It's all because he spoils him."
He opened the door and yelled, "Lu Lin, you're just spoiling us. Don't come complaining to our house later if you can't stand it."
With Shen Rong's arrogant and overbearing nature, he'll suffer in the future.
Lu You suppressed a laugh: "Brother Shen, please stop talking. I don't like it when you speak ill of my sister-in-law."
"She's my own sister, what's wrong with me saying a few words?"
But her husband wasn't happy about it, and she couldn't say anything to her own brother.
Lu You didn't say anything, he just smiled.
He has never expressed his opinion on his elder brother and sister-in-law's affairs. He tolerated his sister-in-law's personality in the past, and now he protects her without any limits.
Seeing Lu Lin come out, Shen Rong quickly greeted him, "I want some juice."
She asked Lu Xuan and the others what they wanted to drink, and they all chose soda.
Lu Xuan really wanted to try what freshly squeezed juice tasted like, but her sister-in-law always drank juice made by her brother. With her brother's cold face, she felt that she didn't have the face to trouble him.
Never mind, I'll ask Aunt Zhang to help her next time.
Lu Lin was quick; he returned shortly with juice and soda.
The sodas are all chilled; it's a bit hot today, so this is perfect.
Lin Wenhui was surprised that the Lu family had a refrigerator. Lu Xuan turned her head and quietly explained.
“My sister-in-law wanted an iced drink, so this was a machine that was specially set aside by the Marshal’s Mansion.”
Lin Wenhui nodded. It seemed that what everyone said about General Dou and his son valuing Lu Lin highly was true.
Shen Rong took a sip and said with some disdain, "Why isn't there ice?"
Lu Lin glanced at her and said indifferently, "You've already had iced drinks today."
Shen Rong could only roll her eyes. The doctor advised against her eating too much raw or cold food, and Lu Lin practically took that advice as gospel.
"Why don't you give Teacher Dong a call and invite him to our house? Tell him that Miss Lin is staying for dinner and that he should come along too."
She remembered to add, "Tell him not to buy anything else." Lin Wenhui had already brought it up enough today.
Lin Wenhui smiled and played her card: "No need to play, it's the same as him eating at school."
"Since I've suddenly detained someone, I still need to notify their family," Shen Rong joked.
Shen Jiashi came out for a drink of water and witnessed Lu Lin being bossed around like a madman.
I silently uttered a single word in my mind: Serves him right!
They wouldn't give them a single word, and this is what happens!
He felt proud; Shen Rong had given the Shen family face. Even the proud son of heaven, Lu Lin, had to listen to his wife at home.
In this respect alone, he is better than Lu Lin. Next time the old man compares him with Lu Lin, he will have something to say.
Zhang Ma's cooking is getting better and better. In addition to Pingcheng's specialty dishes, she also specially learned a few seasonal dishes from Bincheng. Everyone was very satisfied with the meal.
Just as Lin Wenhui had said, Dong Rongyi did not come. He probably waited until the Shen family had finished their dinner before coming to pick up his fiancée.
Shen Rong originally wanted her family driver to take them, but Lin Wenhui refused. Dong Rongyi's rickshaw was already waiting outside.
"The weather is nice today, so we can enjoy the night view on our way back."
Shen Rong did not insist, and the group saw her to the door.
Lu Xuan smiled and waved to them, "Sister Lin, come play cards again next time."
She lost quite a bit today; this Sister Lin is also a master at the card table.
Lin Wenhui also met her match today and had a lot of fun: "Definitely."
