When social terror becomes the favorite of the police

Chapter 283 I can't let you lose face
"Boss, Happy New Year!"

Li Wen looked at Lin Xiaoyan and said with a smile.

Lin Xiaoyan turned her gaze back to the store and greeted everyone with a smile.

Happy New Year to you all! You've worked so hard these past few days!

"It's not hard work, boss!"

Lin Xiaoyan glanced around the shop; it was very clean, everything was just as it had been before, it seemed everyone had been working very diligently these past few days.

Looking at the daily transaction log, attendance sheet, and food purchase order that Li Wen had given her, she sighed inwardly that Li Wen was very suitable to be a store manager and that he managed things very well.

"Xiaowen, you've worked hard these past few days!"

Li Wen smiled and shook his head, "It's not hard work, I really like this job."

Lin Xiaoyan looked at Li Wen and joked, "Sigh, if you weren't still in school, I would have wanted to bring you in as the store manager!"

Upon hearing this, Li Wen smiled like a young man should. "Oh dear, what a pity! If I can't find a job after I graduate, I'll definitely come and come to you, boss!"

"Haha, sure, I'll definitely take you in then!"

After staying in the shop for a while and seeing that there were no other problems, Lin Xiaoyan left.

As I stepped out of the store, I looked up and saw someone crossing the street.

The moment Lin Xiaoyan saw He Qi'an, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but walk over.

He Qi'an also saw Lin Xiaoyan and walked over with a smile on his face.

"Why are you here? It's not time to leave work yet."

He Qi'an took his girlfriend's hand and whispered, "I've taken the day off and left work early to go home with you. We'll take your aunt and uncle out for dinner later."

Lin Xiaoyan: "Okay."

He Qi'an went home with Lin Xiaoyan and the others. After arriving home, He Qi'an first went across the street to greet Lin's parents before going inside to change his clothes.

Lin's mother looked across the street, then at her daughter, "I didn't expect Xiao He to live across the street."

Mr. Lin looked at his daughter and asked, "When we allocated you the house, did you deliberately choose this place?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoyan immediately proved her innocence.

“I didn’t! I didn’t even know I was being allocated a house at the time, and I only found out he lived across the street after I moved in!”

Seeing his daughter's confident expression, Mr. Lin believed her, but he still felt that it was too much of a coincidence.

Lin's mother sighed, "This is fate. You and Xiao He are destined to be together."

Lin Xiaoyan and her father: ………

...

The next morning, Lin Xiaoyan took out the red envelopes she had prepared the night before and handed them to her older brother, asking him to distribute them to everyone before he left work that evening.

Consider it a start-of-work bonus.

Lin Hao carefully packed it up and looked at his sister, "Aren't you going to the store to distribute it yourself?"

Lin Xiaoyan: "I'm not going. I'll stay home with my parents and sister-in-law."

"Okay, I'm off to work now."

"it is good."

Lin Xiaoyan watched her older brother ride away on his electric scooter, then returned home.

When I got home, my mother was already awake, but my father had drunk too much with He Qi'an last night and was still not awake.

When Lin's mother saw her daughter return, she asked, "Did you give it to your brother?"

"Yes, I gave it to him. He's gone to work now."

Lin Xiaoyan looked at the sweater her mother was wearing and said, "Mom, let's go buy some clothes after Dad wakes up."

Upon hearing this, Lin's mother refused, saying, "I have clothes to wear. I bought them for myself during the New Year, and I brought the ones you bought for me as well."

“The clothes I bought for you are a bit too thick. You see, the temperature in Shanghai is much warmer than at home, so those clothes are no longer suitable for you.”

"It's fine. I can wear something thinner underneath. I've seen some people wearing cotton-padded coats." Lin Xiaoyan couldn't persuade him otherwise, so she had to stop and wait for her father to wake up before continuing.

She went back to her room and scrolled through videos out of boredom.

Suddenly, she saw a video of a missing person notice; it featured a three-year-old girl.

"My daughter Tongtong went missing at my doorstep yesterday afternoon at 1:38 pm..."

Lin Xiaoyan looked at the little girl's photo; she was a very cute and pretty child.

She clicked into the author's homepage and saw many videos about the little girl's daily life.

The video shows that the family dotes on the little girl, and they have released five or six missing person videos from yesterday to this morning.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at the little girl's photo, hoping the child could be found soon...

Around nine o'clock, Dad finally woke up.

As soon as Lin's father woke up, he was scolded by Lin's mother.

"I told you not to drink before I left, not to drink, but once you drank a few ounces of horse piss, you couldn't stop!"

“Xiao He still has to go to work. Last night you kept dragging Xiao He to drink, and you wouldn’t even let me say anything…”

Hearing his wife's words, Lin's father looked at his daughter with pleading eyes.

Lin Xiaoyan shrugged, indicating that she couldn't help.

She'd known since she was little that she couldn't interrupt when her mother was angry, otherwise...

The more you try to persuade her, the angrier she gets!

She would have been fine after venting her anger, but if you tried to comfort her, she might have gotten even angrier, and this outburst could have lasted for several days.

Ten minutes later, amidst Lin's father's gentle apologies and pleas for forgiveness, Lin's mother finally calmed down.

Lin's mother placed the food on the table and gave a final warning, "When you meet Xiao He's family, you better hold back! You're not allowed to touch a single drop of alcohol!"

Think before you speak, and don't embarrass your daughter!

Lin's father: "Okay, okay, I know, I know!"

"You know nothing!" Lin's mother glared at Lin's father. "Hurry up and eat! Look at the time!"

Lin's father pursed his lips, but dared not speak out and lowered his head to eat.

Seeing her aggrieved father, Lin Xiaoyan suppressed a laugh.

"Um, Dad, I'll take you shopping in a bit, and we'll eat out for lunch."

Upon hearing this, Lin's mother immediately said, "It's fine to eat at home, why waste that money?"

"Didn't I just say we have clothes?"

While eating, Lin's father said, "The clothes you bought for us during the Chinese New Year, we haven't worn them yet."

Lin Xiaoyan looked at her parents and slowly said, "I haven't told you before what Qi An's family does..."

Mr. Lin was taken aback and looked at his daughter with a puzzled expression. "Didn't Xiao He say that his parents are also public servants?"

Lin Xiaoyan: "Yes, although his grandfather is retired now, he used to be the commander of a military region."

His father retired from the military, but now works for the Ministry of National Defense.

His mother is an employee of the Beijing Municipal Performing Arts Troupe.

After hearing their daughter's words, Lin's mother and father remained silent.

A moment later, Lin's father looked at his daughter and said, "Come on, let's go buy some clothes."

Lin's mother silently stood up, put the bowls and chopsticks back in the kitchen, changed her clothes and shoes, picked up her phone, and prepared to go out to buy a new outfit.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at the two of them and smiled, "What's wrong? Didn't you say you weren't going to buy anything?"

Lin's father: "Sigh, our family's conditions are indeed not as good as others, but we can't let you down."

You can buy whatever you want in a little while!
"Whether you and Xiao He end up together or not, your mother and I can't let you down."
