Chapter 44 No self-awareness
As the door of the Bai family closed, Lin Jinan was so angry that he wanted to curse.

Suddenly remembering something, she raised the corner of her mouth and turned back to the general's mansion.

"Qiu Nan, come with me."

Qiu Nan felt happy, "Where are you going, young lady?"

Speaking of which, the young lady hadn't taken her out for a long time. Even if she was serving in the house, Lin Jinan would find various excuses to send her away and replace the maid next to her with someone else.

Qiu Nan didn't understand what she had done wrong to make the young lady unhappy and to neglect her like this.

After a while, Lin Jinan took Qiu Nan out of the general's mansion and went to a teahouse in the capital.

The teahouse told a new story today. After listening to a few sentences, Lin Jinan called for the waiter.

"What book are you talking about today?"

"Hey, Miss, you are right to come today. Our teahouse has received a new story book today. It tells the story of a wild pheasant and a dove occupying a magpie's nest. It is very exciting. Miss, why don't you go upstairs to the booth, and I will do it for you. A pot of good tea, let’s listen slowly?”

The clerk recognized her identity and wanted to lead her to a high position. Lin Jinan glanced at the private room upstairs and asked, "Which private room is Miss Bai's in?"

"It turned out to be with Miss Bai."

The waiter wanted to lead her up in person, but Qiu Nan stopped her and gave her a reward. The waiter resigned and went back to work.

Just as Lin Jinan was about to go upstairs, he suddenly stiffened and stopped.

"When this girl from the Mu family robs her of something, she wants it back tenfold. She is the owner of these things, so there is nothing wrong with wanting them back. It's just that the girl from the Mu family is too greedy and wants to have things that shouldn't belong to her... "

Lin Jinan's hands suddenly clenched into fists.

When she listened to a few sentences just now, she felt that the story was somewhat familiar. It was only now that she was sure that the story was about her!

Seeing that she was unhappy, Qiu Nan said, "Young lady, you don't like this story? I'll go and tell the store owner later that I won't tell you about this story again."

Lin Jinan didn't say anything, just glared at her.

Qiu Nan was stunned and didn't understand what he had done wrong.

This is a new storybook. I just said it and it has already attracted a lot of tea customers. How can the store change the book so easily?In the end, Qiunan gave some money, and the shopkeeper asked the storyteller to change it to another one.

"Why don't you tell it anymore? I finally came up with a new story, let's continue telling it."

The shopkeeper had given the order deliberately, but the storyteller couldn't figure out which nobleman was offended by telling the story, so he could only use the same rhetoric again.

"If you want to know what happens next, please listen to the next breakdown."

Immediately, the venue was filled with boos.

In the private room upstairs, Shu Yan knew that Lin Jinan was here since the story ended.

She drank the tea calmly, while Bai Shuangshuang hissed beside her: "I didn't expect this story to be so exciting. I don't know where I will start from tomorrow and whether I can continue it."

"Miss Bai, do you like this story?"

"I can't say that I like it, I just find it annoying."

Although Bai Shuangshuang is named weak, her character is spot on.

Just listening to this paragraph, Bai Shuangshuang cursed countless times.

"I don't know if there are any books for sale outside."

"Since you like Shuangshuang, I will give you a copy later."

Bai Shuangshuang was confused, "You gave it to me? Did you ask for this?"

Shu Yan said: "My husband likes to read story books, so my family specially invited two gentlemen to write this story. Today's story book was written by me. The young lady from the Mu family is someone I have really met. people."

Bai Shuangshuang was shocked. "Seriously? Who is she? I have never seen such a shameless person."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the elegant room was pushed open, and Lin Jinan walked in with a subtle expression.

Seeing her come in, Bai Shuangshuang remembered that she had made an appointment with Lin Jin'an for an outing today. She was a little embarrassed and asked Lin Jin'an to sit down and listen to a book together.

Lin Jinan was filled with anger and refused to accept Bai Shuangshuang's kindness.

"I just listened to a paragraph below, and I have a different opinion. You all said that Miss Mu robbed the lady of everything, but why don't you say that the lady also robbed Miss Mu of everything?"

Shu Yan didn't say anything, but just used the action of drinking tea to hide the raised corners of his lips.

Bai Shuangshuang frowned, "Jin'an, what do you mean?"

Lin Jin'an didn't notice anything yet and just said to himself: "She took up Miss Mu's identity to marry into a high position and became a lady. She used the dowry left by Miss Mu's mother, which gave her a good reputation. . Now she accuses Miss Mu of stealing her things in a single sentence. Where can she go to reason?"

Bai Shuangshuang was stunned.

Shu Yan spoke at the right time and added another piece of firewood to Lin Jin's head.

"Did Miss Lin not hear the whole story? This is obviously Miss Mu's shamelessness."

"You are shameless!"

Lin Jinan was furious and even slapped the table.

Shu Yan pretended to be frightened, "Why did Miss Lin suddenly lose her temper? Do you also know that Miss Mu's family?"

Only then did Lin Jin'an realize something was wrong. When he glanced sideways and saw Bai Shuangshuang's face showing contempt, he suddenly felt uneasy.

"How could I recognize a person in a story book?"

"Oh, since you don't recognize her and you didn't listen to everything, why are you still speaking for her?"

After saying that, Shu Yan turned to Bai Shuangshuang and said, "Shuangshuang, this is the allusion I just told you."

Lin Jinan was confused, "What allusion?"

Bai Shuangshuang didn't answer, but when she looked at Lin Jin'an again, her eyes were no longer polite.

"Young lady, please listen to the story today. I'll invite you to tea some other time, Shuangshuang. But the young lady just promised to give me a storybook, so you have to keep it true."

Shu Yan nodded, "Naturally, I will ask someone to deliver the storybook to my house soon."

Bai Shuangshuang just left without even saying hello to Lin Jinan.

She chased her out, "Shuangshuang, why are you ignoring me today? I went to your house to find you, and your servant was not polite at all. I..."

Lin Jinan was coldly interrupted by Bai Shuangshuang before he finished speaking.

"Ms. Lin has a distinguished status and has a large number of adults. Do you still need to be as knowledgeable as my concierge?"

She snorted coldly, "As for why my servant is so rude, don't you know yourself, Miss Lin?"

After saying that, Bai Shuangshuang shook off Lin Jinan's hand and walked away angrily.

Lin Jin'an froze on the spot. When Bai Shuangshuang was no longer visible, he remembered to go back to the private room and grabbed the tea that Shu Yan was about to bring to his mouth.

"What exactly did you say to Bai Shuangshuang?"

Shu Yan raised the corners of his lips, not hiding his sarcasm, "What did you say? Don't you have any self-awareness, Miss Lin?"

Lin Jin'an became angry and grabbed her tea cup and prepared to throw it over.

Shu Yan moved faster, opened the lid of the teapot, and poured the entire pot of water on her face.
