BXBX NOVEL Chapter 156 - 156: Who Is She?
A father was a father – he would not show any mercy when he rebuked his son.
Before Lin Zhaonan was convinced by her father, Lin Gantang kept the cat on the third floor as usual. In a few days, the American Shorthair could be brought to the bookstore.
The next day, Yin Zhen’s mother was about to be discharged from the hospital. Yin Zhen really couldn’t find the time, so she called Lin Gantang and asked if she could help send her mother home.
“That grandfather of mine is the most snobbish. If you go back with my mother, when he sees you, he’ll immediately think of the benefits of the Lin and Wen families being friends with the Yin family. He won’t let anyone do anything overboard to my mother.” Yin Zhen mocked. “Whoever makes you unhappy in my house, you can just scold them back. Now, they’re begging for the project in the north of the city. What can they do to the future daughter-in-law of the Wen family?”
“Wait? How did I get upgraded to become the future daughter-in-law of the Wen family?” Lin Gantang interrupted.
“Isn’t it? When someone mentioned you and Wen Yanqing to Wen Rendong, Wen Rendong laughed and almost said that you were in his household register.”
Lin Gantang was struck dumb.
“Sorry to trouble you. Help me make a trip.”
The Yin family only sent a chauffeur to pick up Jiang Chenying. The chauffeur was probably Grandpa Yin’s man. He did not forget to praise Yin He with every word he said, about how polite he was and how he was willing to accommodate her, the mistress of the Yin family.
Lin Gantang suspected that he had taken money from Yin He to drive Jiang Chenying out of the house.
“Auntie, let’s go.” When Lin Gantang came in and heard those words, she immediately went forward and took the medium-sized bag from Jiang Chenying’s hands. She tossed it into the chauffeur’s arms and said, “Do you dare to repeat the words you just said in front of Miss Yin? You’re thinking that Auntie has a good temper and won’t hold it against you, right?”
The chauffeur was embarrassed. “Miss Lin, you must be joking.”
Jiang Chenying was very happy that Lin Gantang had come over to accompany her. On the way back, she told her about Yin Zhen’s embarrassing incidents. Speaking of Yin Zhen, her eyes were filled with gentleness and anticipation for her daughter.
Jiang Chenying would have been very contented if Yin He hadn’t happened.
Lin Gantang held Jiang Chenying’s arm and entered the Yin residence. Only then did she understand why Yin Zhen was worried.
Grandpa Yin and Yin He were discussing something. She had never seen the young lady beside them before. She looked a little similar to Yin He. She should be Yin He’s sister, Tan Huiya, whom Yin Zhen had mentioned before.
When they saw Jiang Chenying, they didn’t even greet her. They were even colder than strangers who met on the street.
Grandpa Yin’s eyes lit up when he saw Lin Gantang. He did not speak to his daughter-in-law, Jiang Chenying. Instead, he greeted her, “Gantang? It’s almost lunchtime. Why don’t you stay for lunch? You haven’t met Huiya, right? Let’s chat.”
“There’s no need for that, Old Master Yin. The bookstore is open for business in the afternoon; 1 still have work to do.” Lin Gantang refused.
“Calling me Old Master sounds so distant. Why don’t you call me Grandpa like Yin Zhen?” Grandpa Yin said.
It was Tan Huiya’s first time seeing Lin Gantang. She heard that Old Master Yin was quite polite when he spoke to her, so she quietly asked Yin He, “Who is she? Why did she come back with Jiang Chenying?”
Yi He looked at Lin Gantang’s face and observed her carefully. He found that her eyes were very beautiful at this moment. The glow in her eyes was like the shimmering light in the autumn night, mixed with a hint of coldness. Her snow-white skin was so smooth that it was almost flawless.
Yin He shifted his gaze to Jiang Chenying, and after a while, he replied softly, “Her name is Lin Gantang, and she is Lin Mingzhuo’s daughter. Her family background is quite good. If you can befriend her, you will benefit a lot. But she’s Yin Zhen’s friend. I don’t think you two can be friends..”
