"No, no, Lin Xiao, you must be overthinking it!" She suppressed the countless negative thoughts in her mind.
She recalled Yang Xile's explanation that her father didn't want her to inherit the group's business. Perhaps she was overthinking it; her father just wanted to improve her life in France as much as possible and make her live a better life.
"Xiaoxiao, Dad brought some money with him this time, but foreign exchange controls are very strict now. Large remittances abroad might be seen as non-performing asset flight, so we need to process it slowly."
We'll start looking at apartments these days. I don't know much about property prices in France, but I'm sure we'll have enough money for a deposit.
Lin Haitao spoke very seriously, and Lin Xiao realized that his father was serious about this matter and not just talking about it. The money he brought this time must have been planned in advance.
She still felt that buying a house in France was not very necessary. Although the country was romantic and beautiful with a rich artistic atmosphere, she did not want to live there long-term.
If six months ago she was indifferent to where she was, after these past six months she is eager to graduate smoothly and return to China, especially to a place where Wei Changfeng is.
She wanted to work and live close to him, so buying property in France seemed even less necessary.
But she couldn't say these things to her father, and she was even too embarrassed to say them to Wei Changfeng. She had just thought about them silently in her heart many times.
Seeing his father's insistence, Lin Xiao could only say perfunctorily, "Dad, don't worry. It's the weekend, so I'll take you around Paris. Even though you've been here many times, there are still some interesting places you've definitely never been to."
Looking at his sensible daughter, Lin Haitao felt even more heartache. He told Lin Xiao that he would be having dinner with Wang Handong's family tomorrow, and if she was free, she could come along; otherwise, she should go about her own business.
Lin Xiao was not too keen on having dinner with the Wang family again, as it made her feel burdened.
However, she knew that from a courtesy standpoint, her father had been warmly received by His Holiness the Dalai Lama during his visit, and he would be hosting the dinner tomorrow, so she had no reason not to accompany him. Therefore, she obediently agreed.
On the other hand, she was also worried that Wang Handong's family would ask about her situation at the dinner table, such as the lie she told about her boyfriend studying for a master's degree in China and their good relationship. Her father, who was unaware of the truth, might accidentally reveal it, which would make her even more embarrassed when facing Wang Wei's family.
To avoid being exposed tomorrow, Lin Xiao decided to talk to her father beforehand. She said she felt the Wang family was trying to match her with Wang Wei, so she lied and told them she had a boyfriend in China.
After she finished telling her so-called lie, Lin Haitao felt even more guilty. If it weren't for his second daughter, Lin Xue, stealing his love, what Lin Xiao said wouldn't have been a lie at all. She did have a very outstanding and loving boyfriend, but that was in the past.
"Wang Wei seems like a pretty honest kid. Don't you like him?" Lin Haitao had already met Wang Wei and had a decent impression of the boy.
"I don't like it," Lin Xiao said firmly.
Lin Haitao thought about it. Although Wang Wei looked decent and Wang Handong had some wealth in France, in terms of conversation and appearance, Wang Wei was still far inferior to Lin Xiao's ex-boyfriend Feng Jinglin. No wonder his daughter didn't like him.
What he didn't know was that, due to the appearance of another person, his childhood sweetheart Feng Jinglin had slowly walked out of Lin Xiao's heart, along with the hurt he had caused her.
