Mr. Shen, please stop being abusive. My wife is on the hot search with someone else again.

Zhao Jinyan was relieved after hearing this. At least his family would not object.

Grandmother considers things a little more than father. After all, young people nowadays are always impulsive when they are together.

"Actually, I think since you two are in a good relationship now, and Miaomiao feels that getting married directly is too fast, you can get engaged first, so that we can feel more at ease."

Zhao Jinyan was vaguely excited. This was okay. After all, his fiancé also had a status?

"I think Auntie's idea is right, let's get engaged first."

Sun Miaomiao was speechless, this bitch actually forced her into marriage.

Seeing that Sun Miaomiao had no objection, Zhao Jinyan asked cautiously: "My uncle and aunt are here just now, and they are going to visit my grandma tomorrow. How about we get engaged directly at the old house?"

"How can we be in such a hurry? We'll talk to grandma tomorrow."

Zhao Jinyan's excitement was rejected by Sun Miaomiao.

This guy was silent for a moment and didn't say much until he finished eating.

Lin Xi looked at Zhao Jinyan and wanted to laugh. This was the first time she had seen a man who was so eager to get married.

"Zhao Jin, the romantic prodigal, fell into the hands of Miaomiao. If I had known that they were destined to be together, I should have let them know each other earlier."

Shen Yi curled his lips and smiled, "You are still writing a book. This is called fate not yet arrived."

Before leaving, Lin Xi looked at Sun Miaomiao and smiled as she watched Shen Yi loading boxes of gifts into Zhao Jinyan's car.

Sun Miaomiao joked: "I can be regarded as a former serf singing. I didn't expect that Mr. Shen would still give me a gift one day."

Shen Yi pulled his lips, "I'm here for my uncle and aunt, don't put gold on your own face."

"I don't need to apply it myself, Mr. Shen has already applied it thick enough for me."

Lin Xi felt helpless listening to the two bickering. Her best friend wanted to be pampered, and her man also wanted to be pampered, but it was a headache for these two to fight each other as soon as they met.

"Miao, I think we can get engaged first and let Zhao Jinyan cash in the betrothal gift, so that he can have better control."

What Lin Xi said seemed to make sense. With his stingy attitude, he would definitely be more cautious and sensible when spending money.

Shen Yi shook his head after listening to Lin Xi's words. If his wife wanted to plot against someone, she would definitely use ruthless means.

"What you say makes sense, but why do you feel like I'm only after his money when I'm with him?"

"Then if he has no money, will you still follow him?"

"Then I will consider it. After all, if you are rushing to get married, you can't just do it for romance. You still have to live in reality."

"Isn't this the end of it? You're trying to get people and money, but I just happen to have everything."

"Haha, after what you said, it seems to be true. Then I will act according to the circumstances tomorrow."

"Just act according to the situation and do it half-heartedly."

The two of them covered their mouths and had fun after talking.

The next day happened to be the weekend. Lin Xi originally wanted to accompany Sun Miaomiao to his old house, but before leaving, he received a call.

……

When Shen Yi drove her to the Xianyun Art Museum, the Hongqi car had already stopped at the entrance of the art museum.

When they walked in, Zhang Changlin was accompanying Xu Bowen to look at paintings in the exhibition area. Zhang Changlin was quite surprised to see her coming.

"Why are you two here?"

Lin Xi smiled and said: "I just wanted to come over and practice my skills on the weekend if I had nothing to do. Grandpa Zhang has everything here, so I didn't come over."

"Secretary Xu, are you here?"

Shen Yi's pretense was quite normal.

Xu Bowen nodded and stared at Lin Xi.

"Girl, grandpa still has a few empty booths here. Why don't you help grandpa fill them up?"

Lin Xi pulled her lips, "It's not impossible. I'll come over and paint when I have time. If it catches your eye, I'll do it."

"Mr. Zhang, can I watch Miss Lin paint?"

Zhang Changlin said happily: "Of course, we are all acquaintances, there is nothing wrong with it. Let's go to the studio."

When they arrived at the studio, Lin Xi laid out the rice paper, and Shen Yi pushed him away on the pretext of looking at Zhang Changlin's collection of purple clay pots.

Lin Xi watched the person leave and slowly put down the pen in his hand.

"Secretary Xu, we don't have to go around in circles. Let's go straight to the point of what we want to say."

"Lin...Xiaoxi, I can understand your prejudice against me. I really don't know you exist."

Xu Bowen no longer had the awe-inspiring expression just now, but became more dejected.

"I never thought of letting you know about my existence, and my sister-in-law, Ms. Liang Ruhui, didn't want you to know that there is a person like me, so why do you need to investigate?"

"Your date of birth, your allergic symptoms, and your hidden hatred for me make me worry."

"What can you do if you know this? Can you bring my aunt back to life?"

Lin Xi was helpless, with a hint of coldness in her voice. Perhaps this was the hidden hatred in Xu Boyen's mouth.

"The reason why I agreed to come to see you today is actually because there is a mystery in my heart that has not been solved. Since you have found me, you must have found out what happened."

Xu Bowen sighed, "You can ask whatever you want."

"In what year did you and Ms. Tang get married?"

"The second year after you were born."

"Then who was the person who lied to my aunt that you were married and took wedding leave?"

Xu Bowen was silent for a long time. He breathed a long sigh of relief and said firmly: "It's Tang Jingxian. She deceived Ruhui without telling us and used her connections to get a fake marriage certificate."

This was something Lin Xi didn't expect. She always thought it was the second elder of the Xu family, but she didn't expect it to be Tang Jingxian.

"My mother told me that my aunt didn't know she was pregnant when she left the imperial capital. Is this true?"

"Yes, she really didn't know. She always thought she had an upset stomach. This was confirmed by her friends."

"Then how did Tang Jingxian know? After my aunt passed away, she came to Shanghai. She also asked my aunt's high school classmates to inquire about the situation and asked if my aunt had left any children."

Xu Bowen was silent again for a long time.

Lin Xi smiled bitterly, "If Secretary Xu doesn't want to say it, I won't ask. Anyway, so many years have passed. What can we do if we know about it? People can't be resurrected after death, let alone the person beside you is involved?"

"It was Jingxian who did it. She met Ruhui in the hospital for a check-up, so she secretly did the same check-up, and then found someone to change their reports." Xu Bowen paused, and then said: "That's right. It was for this reason that she forged a false marriage certificate to trick Ruhui into leaving."

Lin Xi smiled, "Should I be grateful? If my aunt hadn't left in a fit of anger, maybe I wouldn't have had the chance to come to this world. But my life is quite heavy. My aunt paid for it with her life."

"My child, I'm sorry. I didn't do a good job. I was too busy and ignored Ruhui, which allowed Tang Jingxian to take advantage of her. In the final analysis, it was me who harmed her."

Lin Xi looked at his biological father, who was aloof and would be surrounded by a group of people whenever he appeared, like stars holding the moon, and his eyes darkened.

"Secretary Xu, are you trying to take the blame on yourself and protect your woman?"
