After figuring this out, Wang Handong's family and Lin Xiao had much less contact. During important holidays, Lin Xiao would exchange greetings and blessings via text message, but that was all.
Therefore, when Lin Haitao inquired about his daughter's life in France, Wang Handong didn't know much. He asked his son, Wang Wei, who had heard some things from Lin Xiao and relayed them to his father.
Lin Xiao is the type of person who only shares good news with everyone and never bad news, so naturally she wouldn't confide in Wang Wei about the difficulties she encounters in life.
Therefore, when Wang Wei asked her before, she said everything was fine, she was gradually adapting to her studies, and life was very convenient. Thus, Wang Handong received the feedback that everything was good.
Wang Wei once drove Lin Xiao home and saw that the area and building where she lived were nice, but he didn't go inside.
Because the room was small and private, Lin Xiao was reluctant to have guests. During her six months in France, she only invited Yu Qingning as a guest. Yang Xile, knowing this, pestered her relentlessly to come, and that's how she finally invited him as well.
Even if Wang Wei had seen Lin Xiao's penthouse maid's room, he wouldn't have been particularly surprised or moved. Most young people in France live in similar accommodations, especially in the expensive Paris region.
A single room is called a studio, where the kitchen and bedroom are combined. A room with a separate kitchen and bedroom is called a pièce, which is a slightly higher-end room.
Of course, wealthy people can choose to have multiple rooms, just like Chen Qi'an's residence where the rich second-generation overseas students gathered. In addition to the large living room, there were three bedrooms.
Yang Xile lived in a similar situation, but because he had a bodyguard living with him, he felt uncomfortable in the small room.
So when he first visited Lin Xiao's house, he was really shocked. He completely failed to control his expression and showed disbelief.
"Sis, why do you live in such a small place? When did your dad go bankrupt?" After spending several months together, they had become quite familiar with each other, so they spoke without any restraint.
Lin Xiao chuckled and playfully punched him: "Young master, when you're a guest, can't you at least say something auspicious?"
"No, sis, this is way too small!" Yang Xile was still in shock.
"That's why I was embarrassed to invite you over. It wasn't on purpose that I didn't invite you, and you even complained that I was stingy."
"How much living expenses does your dad give you? If it's not enough, I have some here. You can use it first, and we'll move to another place."
Lin Xiao knew that although the child was young, he was very righteous. He probably felt sorry for her living in such a pitiful place and was willing to lend her money to change her house.
She then patiently explained to Yang Xile why she chose this place. Besides being close to the school and in a safe area, and the fact that the housing manager was very responsible and kind, she also said that she didn't like empty, large houses, as she found them particularly desolate.
She told Yang Xile that after her parents separated when she was 15, her stepmother quickly moved in with her younger sister, who was only two or three years younger than her, to fill the void. From then on, she tried her best to live as transparently as air at home.
Because my father is often away on business trips, and even when he isn't, he has a lot of social engagements and rarely has time to stay at home.
He lived with his stepmother and sister in a multi-story villa, and the emptiness there felt like he had been abandoned in a deserted valley.
Lin Xiao told Yang Xile that because his mother was the mistress of the house, he would never be the one neglected or ignored in that house. Therefore, Yang Xile could not understand the loneliness and fear that Lin Xiao felt as if he were alone in his own home.
That's why she actually likes compact little spaces. She doesn't mind if things are piled up a lot or cluttered, because that makes her feel more at home, warm and comfortable.
After listening to Lin Xiao's words, Yang Xile remained silent for a long time. After a while, he suddenly got up, walked to Lin Xiao's side, and grabbed her hand.
