NOVEL NEXT Chapter 9 1 Betrothal Gift
It was already past six o'clock when we arrived at Lin's house, and Grandma Lin urged her twice on the way.
Seeing her coming in, her cousin Lin Yan stood up with a smile, looked behind him, and her expression immediately became unhappy.
"Why are you alone and your brother-in-law is not here?"
"He is very busy and has no time." Lin Xi said lightly.
"Oh, you are so busy that you don't even have time to have a meal?" Cousin Lin Bin, who was sitting in the living room, said in a cold voice.
When Grandma Lin saw that she was alone, the loving look on her face suddenly disappeared.
"You are so useless. You can't even win over your husband. After so many years of marriage, every time you invite him to dinner, nine times out of ten, it comes to nothing. You have to strive to give him a son, but he can still be like this. Don’t you look down on our family?”
"Mom, stop talking and let's eat." Lin Zheng'an said softly.
"Yes, Mom, it's the same with the creek." Aunt Wang Guizhi came over with a smile and helped the old lady.
Grandma Lin is known to favor sons over daughters, and the old lady has never liked them. So after her father passed away, everything in the family, including the company, was decided by the old lady alone and Lin Zheng'an was fully responsible. Lin Xi and her mother every day There is only a meager monthly living allowance.
The reason is that his father's poor management caused the company to suffer serious losses and almost went bankrupt, so it was the utmost kindness to be able to provide him with living expenses.
In desperation, Lin Xi sold her house to support her mother's medical expenses.
Those six months were the darkest period in Lin Xi's life. It wasn't until Grandpa Shen found her that her life changed.
After Lin Xi and Shen Yize got married, Lin Zhengan proposed that the company should be responsible for Lin's mother's medical expenses, saying that the Shen family could not let her be underestimated.
Recalling that Lin Xi was not angry before, it was a lie.
The family sat down at the dining table. Lin Zhengan raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Xi, "Xiaoxi, what has Yi Ze been busy with recently?"
"Uncle, you know, he never talks to me about his affairs." Lin Xi lowered his eyes and ate by himself.
"Lin Xi, you are so beautiful, don't let God's love go to waste. Spend more time on your brother-in-law. This man likes and knows how to play."
Lin Bin looked at Lin Xi with a smile on his lips, as if to say, you understand.
Lin Xi didn't answer. Lin Zhengan looked diagonally across from him from time to time, and she could feel it.
He just deliberately pretended not to know and ate the rice in the bowl quietly.
Sure enough, halfway through the meal, Lin Zhengan finally spoke.
"Xiaoxi, your elder brother is talking about a project recently. The other party feels that our company is a bit weak and the willingness to cooperate is not strong. Can you tell Yi Ze and ask him to help introduce him. The other party is familiar with him. As long as Yi Ze If you are willing to introduce it, it will be done."
Lin Xi's hand holding the food paused for a moment, knowing that something must be wrong. This was the first time he had assigned her a task under the pretense of asking her to come back for dinner. The eldest aunt was about to express her feelings.
As soon as Lin Xi put down her chopsticks, she heard Wang Guizhi sigh: "Xiaoxi, business has not been good these two years. Your brother's first two investments were all lost. You also know that our family has a lot of expenses, and grandma wants to Regular inspection and maintenance, your eldest brother is seeing someone, Yan'er hasn't graduated from college yet, the key is your mother, that costs hundreds of thousands every month!"
Wang Guizhi knew that Mother Lin was her weakness, which was also their confidence. When it comes to repaying her husband, if she hadn't said that the company would reimburse her mother's medical expenses, she might not have been able to rely on the Shen family's great wealth.
"It's such a trivial matter. Xiaoxi can just talk to Yi Ze when he goes back. It's just a matter of words. I thought it was something big." Grandma Lin said nonchalantly while sitting in the front seat.
Seeing Lin Xi lowering his eyes and saying nothing, she glanced at Lin Xi unhappily and said, "Xiaoxi, go back and tell Yi Ze. It's such a small thing. Are you going to lower your head and dare not say anything?"
Hearing this, Lin Xi slowly raised his head. How thick-skinned must he be to be so arrogant?
"Grandma, since it's a trivial matter, why didn't uncle go directly to Shen Yize? If it was really a trivial matter, wouldn't Shen Yize be unkind? I've always said it was a trivial matter over the years, but that time it wasn't Shen who was in the middle Pull the strings. If the Lin family makes money, but the Shen family can't keep it secret, why don't you think about why I don't get Shen Yize's attention?"
Grandma Lin became anxious after hearing what she said, "You are such a rebel girl. You dare to talk to me like this. Don't forget that your surname is Lin. This is your root."
Lin Xi glanced at the people at this table coldly, mother's family? Who here thinks she is part of the family? If she hadn't been married to Shen Yize, she might not even be qualified to sit and have dinner with them.
"Grandma, you asked for 10 million as a betrothal gift when I got married. Over the years, you said that the company reimbursed my mother's medical expenses, so why don't you take my dowry and give it to my mother?
There is also the company. My father has been running the company very well before, but my uncle said that it has been losing money for many years and will not give any dividends to my mother and me. You've made a lot of money from Shen Yize over the years, right? Even after the company turned around, I haven't seen you give me any benefits? "
When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and the restaurant became quiet for a moment. Why did this girl suddenly turn over an old score today and still want dividends?
When the old lady heard what she said, she was so angry that she stood up and walked to her, yelling angrily: "Lin Xi, do you think your wings will become hard after becoming the daughter-in-law of the Shen family?"
After saying that, the old lady raised her hand and slapped her. The old lady had a strong body and took good care of herself. This slap was also quite powerful.
In an instant, Lin Xi's ears were ringing, and her eyes were filled with stars. The five finger prints on her fair face were extremely eye-catching, and she looked a bit ferocious.
Lin Xi didn't expect that the old lady would come up and slap her. It was obvious that his words had touched her nerves.
Lin Yan sat aside and watched the show and said: "Some people think that if they pick up a high branch, they can fly to the branch and become a phoenix. Little do they know that they are so contemptuous that they dare not even say a word."
"Yan'er, shut up."
Although Lin Zhengan was also angry, he did not expect that his old mother would slap Lin Xi. Now I still have to rely on her to blow my pillow, so I shouldn't turn against him, so I stepped forward to comfort him in a friendly voice.
"Xiaoxi, grandma is getting older. Please obey her more and don't be angry with grandma. Although the company has turned around in recent years, it is really not good and can only barely maintain it. Now that you are the young lady of the Shen family, this little dividend is still If it’s not easy enough, how about buying a gift?”
Lin Xi sneered, is this a matter of more money and less money?
I originally wanted to talk about the divorce, but when I thought about what Grandpa Shen said in the morning, I swallowed the words on my lips.
It is better to avoid unnecessary complications before getting the divorce certificate.
"Uncle, I can't help with the company's affairs, and Shen Yize won't listen to me. You'd better find another way. Also, please return the betrothal gift from the Shen family when I got married, and I'll pay for my mother's medical expenses in the future. Come out on your own.”
After Lin Xi finished speaking, she took her bag and turned around to leave without divorcing Shen Yize. Naturally, Lin Zhengan did not dare to make things difficult for her, and there would be no big problems with her mother at the moment.
As for the 10 million yuan gift, it was originally what the Lin family asked for when Grandpa Shen insisted that Shen Yize marry her, so she naturally wanted to get it back.
Now thinking about it, Shen Yize's dislike of her probably started from that time.
After leaving Lin's house, Lin Xi's pretense of firmness suddenly collapsed, and tears burst out of her eyes.
