Chapter 43 - stepmother and daughter (1)
Then looking at Lin Yi, who still had a lazy look, after planning for a while, she smiled and said, "Xiao Yi, I heard that Shu Tianyi has been coming here everyday for the past two months just to see you. He's been working so hard that he's thin, and you're not even going to see him?"
For an entire two months, Xiao Xinlou had admired Shu Tianyi, the allure of money to others was truly great.
Hearing this, Lin Yi's eyelashes suddenly fluttered. She turned her body in the rocking chair and used a blanket to firmly cover herself, muttering, "That fool … Stop talking. "
Idiot? This heartbroken tone …
Xiao Xinlou was startled. Could it be that Lin Yi was moved by Shu Tianyi's two months of apology? This way, she would also benefit from having Shu Tianyi next to her.
"Okay, okay, okay. If you don't say it, he won't say it."
Xiao Xinlou patted her shoulders gently as she calculated how long it would take for Lin Guanting to get here, and asked, "Then what about the branch office? Since you are already well, you should plan on going to the branch office. The main company pays very close attention to this new branch office."
"You're annoying. I want to sleep."
Lin Yi pushed her impatiently.
"My young mistress, it's not that I'm going to bother you, but since your father gave you such an important task, you have to do something. You can't just hide at home and sleep." Xiao Xinlou spoke sincerely.
"Can you stop bothering me, it's so noisy!"
Lin Yi turned her back on her.
An angry shout was heard, "Why are you talking to your aunt? He didn't have any manners at all! I thought you were really unwell and rushed back after finishing your patrol. In the end, you were just hiding at home sleeping and slacking off! "
The time was just right.
Xiao Xinlou's heart skipped a beat. When she looked up, Lin Guanting was already standing on the balcony, his face was filled with anger. She immediately ran over and hugged his shoulders, "Guan Ting, you're back."
"Yes."
Lin Guanting looked at her guiltily, then glared at Lin Yi angrily.
Lin Yi had already gotten up from the rocking chair and stood there, looking at him weakly.
"Get down here!"
Lin Guanting was furious.
Xiao Xinlou gently advised, "Don't be like this, you angered the child the moment you came back. I'm already used to Xiao Yi's temper, she doesn't have any ill intentions."
"She has no ill intentions? If she doesn't change her temperament now, how will she be able to inherit the Yi Wei Restaurant in the future?! "
Lin Guanting was so angry his veins were popping out.
The atmosphere in the bright hall was tense, and the maids moved quietly to the side.
Xiao Xinlou limply laid on the sofa, playing with her nails as they watched a good show. Lin Yi was forced to kneel in front of her mother's portrait.
Lin Guanting stood by her side, lit three incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner, then looked at his wife's beautiful face and said guiltily: "Lil 'Ru, I'm sorry, I didn't teach my daughter well, don't be angry."
Xiao Xinlou sized up the woman in the portrait coldly. Back then, Lin Guanting had only married her after seeing that she and his deceased wife were sixty to seventy percent alike. Sometimes, when he looked at the photo, he would even feel like he was looking at himself.
After Lin Guanting and his wife finished talking, they looked down at Lin Yi and scolded him furiously, "Before we left, I thought you had changed your personality. What about being willing to inherit the Yi Wei Restaurant and start from the branch shop, it turns out you were pretending!"
"…"
Lin Yi knelt on the soft cushion without saying a word, bowed her head, and quietly allowed himself to be scolded.
"You're still the same as before, arrogant, domineering, willful, you didn't want to go to school and pretend to be sick every day just to play outside, but now, you're hiding from home to be lazy, you're both 20 years old now, how are you going to achieve great things in the future?" Lin Guanting spoke in a harsh tone, angering his chest to the point that it couldn't calm down.
Xiao Xinlou watched as she blew on her nails. This time, the manicure was really not bad.
"Let me ask you, did I get the finance department to prepare the new branch for you to use to buy clothes and bags? How can you be so weak! " Lin Guanting wanted to poke her head and wake her up.
Lin Yi remained silent.
"You even learned how to be stubborn and remain silent? "You want to piss me off?!" Lin Guanting held onto his chest, and took deep breaths.
Lin Yi kneeled there, opening her mouth and saying indifferently, "Father, you scolded me the moment you came, you didn't even want to hear what I had to say."
"That's because I've already seen the truth!" Lin Guanting said angrily, "You are pretending to be obedient in front of me and shouting at New Dew. Lin Yi, you have learnt to act in front of her and act behind her back?"
"…"
Lin Yi shut her mouth and did not say another word.
"Child, the more you learn, the worse you become. I can't get used to you anymore. Today, I will definitely wake you up."
Lin Guanting took off the suit he was wearing and threw it to the side, then picked up a magazine on the side and threw it at Lin Yi's back. In order for you to inherit the Yi Wei Restaurant that your mother and I painstakingly created, what about you? You only know how to eat, drink and have fun day by day! "
"…"
"You dare to use the excuse of opening a branch shop to steal our public debt today? In the future, if we hand over the Yi Wei Restaurant to you, won't you all lose?" Lin Guanting valued the Yi Wei Restaurant the most in his life, so he could not afford to make any mistakes. At the moment, the fire was growing stronger, and the magazines were attacking Lin Yi crazily.
The pain had all come down.
Lin Yi clenched her teeth and endured. Her lips were pressed tightly together and her expression was turning uglier and uglier.
Xiao Xinlou almost clapped her hands when she saw this scene. It was almost time, she was just about to get up and pretend to advise when a figure rushed in like the wind.
"Mr. Lin, what did you hit Eldest Miss for?"
An Bu ran in with her briefcase, but immediately stopped Lin Guanting with a face full of anxiety.
Seeing her, Lin Guanting's face darkened.
had helped him take care of Lin Yi and take care of the Lin Family. It could be said that Lin Guanting had paid a price for them by looking at her youth, AiAo, and the wrinkles on her face.
If it was any other time, Lin Guanting would have respected An Ling, but today, he was furious, staring at An Ling's mouth and started to speak, "You actually have the nerve to stop me, it was all taught to him by you, to make Lin Yi so disrespectful, I think it's time to fire you."
An Duan looked at him in shock and asked incredulously, "Mister Lin, what's wrong with Eldest Miss? Her body was not well, and she still remembered the matter of the branch store. She ran around to set the location of the New store, slaughtered a huge encirclement amongst the competitors, and got the All Things City's shop. The continuous work caused her to be in both good and bad health, and she had never recovered. I don't understand. What's wrong with such a young miss? "
"What did you say?" Lin Guanting looked at her in shock, "The location of the New store has been decided?"
The All Things City was a pretty good place.
Xiao Xinlou sat up straight on the sofa, her eyebrows knitted together. Why didn't she get the wind?
Lin Yi knelt on the ground, her body slightly swaying.
An Duan took out a document from her briefcase and handed it over to Lin Guanting, "This is all information about the New store, it has already been renovated. The young miss might be afraid of neglecting anything in the process, not only will I have to go out everyday to keep an eye on everything, I will personally supervise the entire process."
