After the villain was reborn, he found out that he had a childhood sweetheart.

Simple words reveal complex sadness.

For a moment, even the well-mannered Jiang Qianxi felt embarrassed. This was indeed a very realistic problem. She and Yu Sheng both came from well-off families. Although they didn't spend lavishly on shopping, they were used to a refined lifestyle. It was common for them to spend a hundred or two hundred yuan per person on a meal, milk tea, and maybe a manicure.

Since he had already decided to accept Lin Xiangling, he would make the relationship smoother. Jiang Qianxi planned to ask her out to play to improve their relationship, but he forgot about her poor financial situation.

Yu Sheng suggested: "Why don't we go to the competition class to do the exercises..."

"Only a fool would want to do the questions!!" Jiang Qianxi was a little crazy. If it came to the questions, Yu Sheng would be the boss again, and she couldn't get involved at all.

This does not conform to Jiang Qianxi's original intention.

So the solution was to go to a cheaper place. Lin Xiangling didn't want to go because she felt like she was a burden.

Fortunately, they soon stopped worrying about it, as Lin Yun invited them to go to Ma Wen's restaurant for dinner.

In the past relationships of the trio of childhood sweethearts, the existence of the rich and powerful young man Lin Yun completely smoothed out the conflicts that might be caused by the economic gap. In fact, many childhood sweethearts broke up because of economic reasons.

For example, the "moving + transferring schools" combination is common in anime. Why did the girl move to a single-family house in the city center, while the boy still lives in a small apartment in the suburbs?

Is it that the protagonist’s parents don’t want to live in a prosperous place?

The reasons behind it are heartwarming.

As for the situation of the trio specifically, because the Lin family is so rich, the other two freeloaders will not feel any guilt at all.

Ma Wen Restaurant is a landmark high-end restaurant in Beicang, and both childhood sweethearts have been here with Lin Yun.

At this time, Jiang Qianxi took Lin Xiangling's arm and introduced the landscape of the garden to her with great interest.

Yu Sheng followed behind, feeling inexplicably isolated.

By the way, Qianxi was particularly nice to the little pig today. Yu Sheng found it hard to understand such a sudden change.

Jiang Qianxi, however, felt extremely relieved. Humph, she let you secretly get along with Lin Xiangling. She wanted to be the one with the best relationship with Lin Xiangling, even better than Lin Yun. In this way, things would be under Jiang Qianxi's control.

In fact, it was the same in the past. She wanted to be Lin Yun’s favorite and also Yu Sheng’s favorite.

Listening to Jiang Qianxi's introduction of Lin Xiangling was an eye-opener, but she had a question.

“Why does this Chinese garden have a foreign name?”

"Uh..." Jiang Qianxi was stuck. In fact, she didn't quite understand.

She is not the type of person who would try to find out the truth when she encounters something she does not understand in life.

Yu Sheng behind him said, "Ma Wen is not a foreigner. He is the master who designed this garden. He is from the Ma family, an antique family in Nantang City."

"Ma Family... The sculpture fountain at the school gate seems to have been designed by someone with the surname Ma?"

"That's Marvin's brother, Matthew."

"Haha, their family names are so interesting!"

Jiang Qianxi felt a little depressed. She had hated similar feelings since she was a child.

If Lin Yun and Yu Sheng are very familiar with something, but she is not, Jiang Qianxi will feel uncomfortable.

If such things were unimportant, such as computer games, what to add to pig blood soup, how to skip stones farther, Java from entry to master... Jiang Qianxi could accept it for the time being. After all, she also had many unique qualities compared to Yu Sheng.

But if this thing is a girl who ranked first in the joint entrance examination of seven counties, looks cute and sweet, and has D Zhaobei...

Jiang Qianxi was a little worried and not in a very good mood at the dinner table.

Lin Yun thought she was still upset about Lin Xiangling, and sighed silently, Qianxi was really sentimental. Look at how generous Yu Sheng was.

Yu Sheng was more interested in why the Lin family's banquet was suddenly stopped. Lin Yun said that it was a business secret and he could not disclose it, so Yu Sheng narrowed his eyes and stepped on his foot. Fortunately, he took off his shoes so the damage was not great. He could feel the touch of the black silk soles of his feet.

Lin Yun hardly ever mentioned business matters to his two childhood sweethearts. They each had their own areas of expertise and all they needed to do was focus on their own business. Lin Yun did not want to add any extra mental burden to them as they were only eighteen years old after all.

At the age of 18, one has released a single and the other has published a paper. In fact, this is already beyond the scope. They do not need more contact with the adult world. People's mental development is always subject to age restrictions. Forcing things is not advisable.

If Lin Yun had not had the experience of struggling in society in the second half of his previous life, he would not have been able to handle Sirius.

Lin Xiangling was trembling with fear at the high-end atmosphere of the restaurant, but the food was really delicious. She drank too much soup, went to find the toilet, and then called Lin Yun in a crying voice to tell him that she was lost... Lin Yun had no choice but to send Yu Sheng to find her.

While the other two were away, Lin Yun took the opportunity to persuade Jiang Qianxi and fed her her favorite spare ribs.

Jiang Qianxi chewed slowly, sniffing in grievance: "You were busy talking to them just now, and didn't even feed me."

"...If you like me, I will feed you every meal, give you a straw to drink liquid food, and give you a wheelchair to push you to school..."

"Oh, how annoying!" Jiang Qianxi reached out to hit him, giggling with a rosy face. She felt very sad. Every time she felt sad, she would be happy when Lin Yun teased her a little. She was really useless.

Seeing her eyebrows relax, Lin Yun gently advised: "You don't have to be so critical of her. Didn't you agree to it last time we talked? You also reconciled with Yu Sheng... As a sister, you should be broad-minded."

"???" Jiang Qianxi's eyes widened, "How did I become the older sister?"

"Among the three of you, your birthday is the earliest, and you were also the first one I met...hiss, you, don't..."

Jiang Qianxi twisted the soft flesh on Lin Yun's waist wildly. Lin Yun's words reminded her of something shameful, as if Lin Yun was the emperor and the three of them were concubines. Jiang Qianxi couldn't hold it anymore, so she buried her little face in his chest to hide her embarrassment, and at the same time twisted him to tell him to shut up and stop talking nonsense.

Even if...even if she is a few months older than them, Jiang Qianxi doesn't want to be a broad-minded sister.

When it comes to Lin Yun, she is always narrow-minded, no matter how old she is.

After all, love is a very selfish thing. She can take a step back with Yu Sheng, but she can't share the world with anyone else.

30. First exclude Lin Yun

The next day, it was cloudy and rainy.

The autumn rain in Beicang means the weather is about to turn cold.

Jiang Qianxi clamored for more clothes and took out several colorful coats and asked Lin Yun which one looked better.

Delin Middle School has relatively relaxed requirements for school uniforms. You only need to wear one of the autumn uniforms or the summer uniforms.

Jiang Qianxi, who loves to show off, chooses to wear summer clothes. The texture of the white shirt and plaid skirt is actually quite good, and the choice of outerwear is very diverse.

Lin Yun’s feeling about this is that if Jiang Qianxi becomes a big star in the future, she probably won’t need too much guidance from a stylist.

Yu Sheng was too lazy to go through so much trouble. When she came out of her bedroom smelling the smell of breakfast, she was wearing a loose school uniform jacket and a set of thicker black stockings on her legs.

She likes to wear pantyhose. She says she likes the feeling of security of being tightly wrapped.

"what?"

Jiang Qianxi suddenly made a surprised sound and called Lin Yun over to take a look.

In the circle of friends, many people forwarded an article from a public account.

Since it is local news, there is a sense of joy in being able to see the news up close, and people are more enthusiastic about forwarding it than for regular current affairs news.

"It seems like there was a problem with the Lin Group's acquisition... It's a bit complicated, what does it mean?" Jiang Qianxi couldn't understand the business analysis in it. This was an area she knew nothing about.

Lin Yun pretended to look at it and summed it up vividly: "You adopted a friend's dog, but you actually want to use it to make dog meat and sell it."

"Oh, how cruel... So will this have a big impact on Ayun's family?"

"It didn't have much of an impact. I went to the hearing and it seemed like just a small company, the equivalent of a homework assignment from my grandma to my uncle."

"Oh, that's good..." Jiang Qianxi breathed a sigh of relief and looked up to find that Lin Yun had gone to the balcony to water the flowers.

Lin Yun is always so calm, and it seems that even if the sky falls, it won’t stop him from watering the flowers.

Jiang Qianxi knew that Lin Yun actually had a very low status in the family and lacked a sense of belonging to the family. Jiang Qianxi was secretly glad about this.

This kind of emotion is a bit petty, even mean. How can you hope that the boy you love has a bad family? But this is the fact. For Lin Yun, home is where Jiang Qianxi and Yu Sheng are. This is his only home. Whenever he thinks of this, Jiang Qianxi enjoys it.

Lin Yun behaved like an ordinary young villain to the outside world, so as to stay away from family disputes. Only in front of the two of them would he reveal the softest part of his heart... This way of dealing with things was very wise, and it made Jiang Qianxi feel that the three of them had a boundless and free future, and could be together forever.

You know, Lin Yun will only show them a maturity far beyond his peers, because they are closest to Lin Yun's heart.

Can the little pig do it?

This is the source of Jiang Qianxi's sense of superiority when facing the little pig. It is for this reason that Jiang Qianxi, such a jealous girl, reluctantly accepts Lin Yun and the little pig as friends.

Yu Sheng came over to take a look: "The author is Xu Jingyi... Ha, she really likes to write."

Jiang Qianxi just noticed it and couldn't help but exclaimed: "She is in the same grade as us, and her articles have so many readers?"

"She just used the channels of her Nantang Newspaper Company. Of course, her writing is also of a certain standard and very eye-catching. She is a natural at attracting traffic."

This was a fair evaluation, but it made Jiang Qianxi think more. After all, even though she was reluctant to admit it, Xu Jingyi was also a famous talented girl in Delin Middle School. If Yu Sheng was the "number one in science", then Xu Jingyi was the "number one in literature".

Jiang Qianxi was biting into an omelette in a daze when an idea suddenly occurred to her mind: "Hey, hey, hey, do you think Xu Jing's revelation of this has anything to do with Lin Yun?"

“What does it have to do with me?” Lin Yun looked very innocent, like an Oscar winner.

"Just like Wang Yuni, she wants to cause trouble for you... or maybe use this as an excuse to get close to you..."

"If you compare Wang Yuni to someone like that, then you don't have to worry. I usually call that kind of person autistic."

Lin Yun rubbed Jiang Qianxi's head. Yu Sheng next to her glanced at her with a smile in his eyes, which made Jiang Qianxi feel a little ashamed and she quickly dodged.

But when he went out, he stuck close to Lin Yun and shared the same umbrella with him.

Jiang Qianxi is petite, so it’s very suitable for her to hide under Lin Yun’s umbrella.

The three of them arrived at school and went their separate ways. Jiang Qianxi's grades were not good enough to get into Lin Yun's key class, and as for Yu Sheng, he usually participated in the competition class.

At the same time, the Yangxin Pavilion had become a mess.

Old Mrs. Lin was so angry that she smashed two sets of tea sets, both of which were antiques.

The loss of money is a small matter. The key point is that Mrs. Lin usually cherishes cultural relics, and she must be extremely furious now.

My uncle was criticized by Old Lady Lin until late last night. He copied the family rules ten times using a brush and rice paper in the prescribed font - he kneeled on the washboard the whole time!

In the end, he was about to faint, and it was his son who helped him to sleep.

As a result, I was called up again before I had even slept for four hours to deal with an emergency public opinion situation.

just now……

Uncle knelt on the washboard again.

My knees were sore and painful, but I dared not move at all.

It can be said that this is the first time in the more than ten years since the beginning of the new century that the Lin family has encountered such severe backlash from public opinion.

The key point is that this time the scandal has a clear chain of evidence and is completely proven. There is no room for redemption and the family's reputation is destined to be tarnished.

After a long time, Old Lady Lin finally regained her sanity from her rage, and her eyes were as sharp and vicious as an eagle's.

"Call the kids back and hold a meeting to settle this failure."

The second generation of the Lin family has a total of four children, the eldest uncle, the second uncle, the aunt, and Lin Yun’s father, who is the youngest son.

Lin Yun's father was abroad on business and couldn't come back, so the other three attended the family meeting.

After a lot of discussion, we finally came up with the key to liquidation:

"If they knew in advance that Tuckfield had dealings with us, and used foreign business relationships, with the power of Sirius, it would not be difficult to find out the details of the transaction. The key is, why did they know it was Tuckfield? Someone must have leaked the news."

Erber Lin Haisheng analyzed.

Among Mrs. Lin's four children, the second uncle is the most calculating. His long hooked nose and gray eyes reveal a gloomy feeling. His sickly pale skin, delicate face and cherry lips add a sense of middle-aged decadence to him.

The others nodded, agreeing with his opinion.

Then the eldest uncle took the lead in expressing his loyalty: "There is absolutely no problem on my side. Those who participated in the acquisition are all my trusted confidants who have followed me for many years..."

"I know you're anxious, but don't worry." Second Uncle interrupted with a smile, "Fortresses always collapse from the inside. Perhaps one of your subordinates has been corrupted without you noticing... So, let's list the people related to the acquisition first, eliminate the impossible ones, and then conduct a thorough investigation of the remaining people."

After saying that, the second uncle looked at Old Lady Lin, who nodded weakly. He thought to himself, the second uncle is very thoughtful, but will he take this opportunity to attack dissidents again?

Old Mrs. Lin knew the personalities of her children very well. Except for the stupid fourth child who worked hard but achieved nothing, the remaining three children each had their own strengths, but also obvious weaknesses.

When the list was drawn up, the second uncle glanced at it and began to eliminate: "First, eliminate Lin Yun. It's true that he was at the hearing, but I doubt whether he can figure out who is acquiring whom... Oh, maybe Xiao Yun doesn't even know what "acquisition" means."

Old Mrs. Lin nodded in agreement: "It's a waste of time to investigate Xiaoyun. What's there to investigate on a transparent white paper?"

"Yes. The second one..."

After a heated discussion, the final list was determined, the family meeting was adjourned, and the operation to thoroughly investigate the traitor began.

But no one realized that they had confidently ruled out the correct answer...

31. Cultivate the self-confidence of the little pig

It was a rainy day, the roads were slippery, and the buses were stuck in traffic. Lin Xiangling was a little late. She sent a message to her class teacher in advance to explain the situation. The class teacher was very accommodating and told her not to worry and to be careful.

From childhood to adulthood, the teachers in school were always very kind to her. After all, she was a good student and was well-behaved most of the time.

Lin Xiangling knew in her heart that this kindness was based on considerations of interests. Students with good grades could bring teachers rich performance and bonuses. It was not obvious in junior high school, but in high school... It was said that even in the county middle school where she had studied before, if a student in the class was admitted to a prestigious university, the school would reward the class teacher with 20,000 yuan, although given the level of that school, it was not common for children to be admitted to prestigious universities.

Delin Middle School, the bonus is definitely bigger.
