Suddenly appearing behind Zhang Dachuan was Lin Muwen, who had met him several times in Bailong City.
Although they have only met a few times, Zhang Dachuan has a good impression of this peer who has extremely upright views and has repeatedly helped him speak up at critical moments.
However, in the previous few meetings, Zhang Dachuan did not see the details of Lin Muwen Dao due to his level of strength. Now that he has successfully reached the peak of the Qi and Blood Realm, his sense of the warrior's aura has become much more acute. When he meets the other party now, he immediately notices Lin Muwen is also a warrior.
Moreover, he is also a warrior in the middle stage of blood realm.
At this age and level, he is already outstanding, but Lin Muwen does not have the arrogance and arrogance of a warrior at all, and appears to be very humble and low-key.
Lin Muwen was wearing a brand new suit. He looked very handsome and formal.
He looked at Zhang Dachuan with a smile, spread his hands and said in a matter-of-fact tone:
"Today is my sister's engagement party, how could I be absent? Not to mention it's in Bailong City, even if it's abroad, I have to fly back."
Zhang Dachuan suddenly understood, pointed at Lin Muwen and said:
"No wonder, you look familiar to me every time I see you. It turns out you are Lin Xiaoying's younger brother!"
While he was talking, Lin Muwen had already arrived at the table and bowed politely to Liang Jingtian:
"Hello Grandpa Liang, I feel relieved to see that you are in such good health."
Liang Jingtian nodded with a smile:
"Mu Wen is back. Come and sit at my house when you have time. You loved coming to my house to play when you were a kid."
Lin Muwen scratched his head and laughed, haha.
Liang Jingtian saw that Lin Muwen and Zhang Dachuan had something to say, so he smiled and suggested to Zheng Nanshan:
"Brother Nanshan, let's go see those old guys from the Tang family and let them see my current physical condition. Hmm, they all claim to be miracle doctors, but they are not as capable as Zhang Xiaoyou. I have to ridicule them today. No."
Zheng Nanshan nodded:
"What a good idea. Those losers in the Tang family only know how to stick to their old ways. It's time to give them some stimulation."
The two immediately stood up, smiled and waved to Zhang Dachuan:
"We won't disturb you young people reminiscing about old times. Let's sit down at the Tang family's table. If you need anything, just come and find us."
Zhang Dachuan and the others quickly stood up and watched Liang Jingtian and Zheng Nanshan leave.
As soon as Liang Jingtian left, Lin Muwen immediately relaxed, pulled out his chair enthusiastically, sat down next to Zhang Dachuan, and said with a smile:
"I was making a bet with my sister just now, saying that you would definitely come tonight."
"My sister didn't believe it. She said that you, a coward, would not dare to come here. She also said that you listen to Miss Su the most."
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Su Yun next to Zhang Dachuan, and blinked:
"Hello, Miss Su."
Su Yun smiled sheepishly and asked Lin Muwen:
"How is your sister doing lately? Since she returned to Dongjiang, she has stopped contacting us. I have spent a lot of time trying to find her."
Lin Muwen smiled bitterly:
"It's not that good. Although we have good food and clothing, people are always depressed."
"Since her sudden return, the family was afraid that she would run away again, so they put her under house arrest in the backyard. Even the Lin Mansion wouldn't let her out."
As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed in confusion:
"I really don't know what she was thinking. She ran away and suddenly came back to do something. This place is like a prison for her."
Zhang Dachuan and Su Yun both looked puzzled after hearing this.
I'm afraid only Lin Xiaoying herself knows this.
At this time, the bustling courtyard suddenly became quiet, and everyone craned their necks to look in the direction of the backyard. Zhang Dachuan and Su Yun, if they felt something, they quickly turned their heads to look.
I saw a group of people dressed up walking out from the direction of the backyard.
The leader was over fifty years old, dressed in dark colored clothes, smiling, and exuding a faint sense of majesty. He walked with the strides of a dragon and a tiger, looking full of momentum.
Next to this person is a kind-faced old woman, also dressed in fine clothes. Although she is over seventy years old, her complexion is rosy and she is much tougher than ordinary old people of the same age.
I heard an excited exclamation from the crowd:
"It's Lin Yaozhong, the current head of the Lin family! And the old lady of the Lin family!"
Hearing this, Zhang Dachuan subconsciously turned to look at Lin Muwen, who smiled with a complicated expression, nodded and said:
"Yes, that's my dad and my grandma."
"Following us are my third uncle's family and some younger members of the family."
Knowing that Zhang Dachuan did not know the history of his family, Lin Muwen took advantage of this moment to whisper to Zhang Dachuan about the situation at home.
The Lin family, one of the four major families in Dongjiang, has a long history and many branches. The previous head of the family, Mr. Lin, had three sons and one daughter.
Ten years ago, the old man of the Lin family was critically ill. Before his death, he passed the title of head of the family to the eldest brother Lin Yaozhong, the father of Lin Xiaoying and Lin Muwen.
But knowing a son is better than a father. The old man knows very well that his boss has good abilities, but lacks courage. He is the kind of person who is more than conservative but not enterprising; the second son Lin Shangyi is a pure waste, not even useful; the younger son Lin Chongli is ambitious and has He acts extremely ruthlessly, and it is difficult for others to suppress him except the old man at home.
Because he was worried that the three sons would fight for power after his death, Mr. Lin made a marriage arrangement with the then head of the Ning family before his death - to betroth Lin Yaozhong's daughter Lin Xiaoying to Ning Hao, the son of the head of the Ning family. .
In this way, even if the third oldest Lin Chongli wants to rebel in the future, he will have to consider whether he can offend the Ninglin family at the same time.
In fact, there is a precedent for similar marriages between the Ning and Lin families. Mr. Lin's mother is from the Ning family.
At that time, the relationship between the Ninglin and Lin families was so close that the other two families were once suppressed and could not hold their heads high.
However, in the generation of Lin Xiaoying and Lin Muwen, this relationship has gone through four generations, so naturally they are not as close as they were back then.
Although Mr. Lin had the foresight to arrange such a marriage, internal fighting still broke out among the three Lin brothers after the old man's death.
In the end, with the support of the Lin family's old lady, Lin Yaozhong succeeded in taking the position of head of the family and stopped the Lin family's internal fighting, but the Lin family was still severely damaged by this.
Now, ten years have passed, Lin Xiaoying and Ning Hao have grown up, and the old lady is old, and it is time to fulfill her promise.
After listening to Lin Muwen's story, Zhang Dachuan frowned:
"So your sister's marriage was really a family marriage from beginning to end? She didn't have any choice?"
Lin Muwen smiled bitterly and nodded:
"Yes, from beginning to end, she was a victim of the marriage between the two families."
Zhang Dachuan suddenly laughed when he heard this.
Because, he suddenly felt that there was no psychological burden on what he had to do later.
