Lin Xiaoqiu is not exaggerating. The Lin family is a castle, and it is also a seaside castle! There is a large single-family villa in the middle, with private gardens in the front and back.
Liancheng is a first-tier metropolis, and it is close to the sea. The location and scenery are very good. The Lin family lives in this huge and expensive villa. It can be seen that the Lin family is not an ordinary rich and small family. The Lin family can be called a wealthy family.
I can't help but admire my mother now. A rural woman ran away from home and then married into a wealthy family. This can be regarded as an inspirational movie.
Lin Tiantian pulled Lin Xiaoqiu into the villa. Mrs. Lin stood outside the door of the villa. She seemed to be waiting for me, looking a little embarrassed.
When I walked past her, she suddenly called me in a low voice, "Xiao Ning..."
"Mrs. Lin," I stopped, turned my head to look at her, and said with an expression on my face, "We have just met, so you should call me Tang Ning. I feel a little awkward when strangers call me too close."
Hearing what I said, Mrs. Lin looked at me and her eyes turned red a little.
I don't want to see her sad, and it makes me feel uncomfortable.
I turned back and stopped looking at her, and said quickly, "You are living well now, so my grandparents and I can rest assured. I won't cause you any trouble, and you can live your own life."
After saying that, I walked into the villa.
There was a small sob behind me, and my back stiffened for a moment, but it didn't stop.
I changed my shoes at the entrance and when I walked into the living room, Lin Tiantian had already pulled Lin Xiaoqiu to the second floor.
"Tangning," Lin Tiantian called me, "I'm going to show Xiaoqiu my room. If you want to see it too, just come up by yourself."
After saying that, before Lin Xiaoqiu could speak to me, Lin Tiantian dragged Lin Xiaoqiu into the room, and then the door slammed shut.
Just listening to what Lin Tiantian said, she was inviting me. But coupled with her actions, what she said suddenly seemed hypocritical.
She took Lin Xiaoqiu to her room enthusiastically, but she used her actions to hint to me that she didn't welcome me there. What does she want to do by treating Lin Xiaoqiu and I so differently?
I couldn't figure out what she meant, but I could feel her hostility towards me.
I just don’t know where this hostility comes from? Did she know about the relationship between Mrs. Lin and me? Is she worried that I, her biological daughter, will take away the maternal love that Mrs. Lin gives her?
While I was thinking about it, Mrs. Lin came in from outside with an elegant man in his fifties, wearing a gray suit, on his arm.
Seeing that I was still standing in the living room, Mrs. Lin was stunned for a moment, then she straightened her expression and said gently to the man, "Husband, her name is Tang Ning, and she is a good friend of my friend's daughter."
"Hello, Miss Tang," Mr. Lin said with a smile, giving people the feeling of an amiable elder. He asked me with a smile, "Why are you in the living room by yourself? Didn't Tiantian entertain you? This child was taken care of by me and her. Mom is spoiled and does things willfully, Miss Tang, don’t argue with her.”
It can be seen that Mr. Lin knows his daughter very well. When he saw me alone in the living room, he guessed that I was isolated by Lin Tiantian.
Lin Tiantian is really happy. She has my mother's love and all her father's love.
I was about to speak when Lin Tiantian's voice came from the second floor.
"Dad, why am I so willful? I invited Tangning to come upstairs, but Tangning didn't come up. You just accuse me of being willful without asking anything. You are not a good father!"
As she spoke, Lin Tiantian pouted her lips deliberately, pretending to be angry.
Mr. Lin doted on her, laughing and apologizing profusely.
Lin Tiantian ran downstairs, ran over and hugged Mrs. Lin's arm, turned to Mr. Lin coquettishly, "As expected, my mother is the best to me."
Lin Tiantian's words made Mr. and Mrs. Lin laugh, and the family atmosphere was harmonious.
At this time, Lin Tiantian turned her head and glared at me again, with pride and provocation in her eyes.
Now I am almost certain that Lin Tiantian already knows that Mrs. Lin is my biological mother. She targeted me probably because she thought I was here to steal her motherly love.
Soon it was evening, and Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin were both there. Lin Tiantian behaved very well, except for poking and glaring at me.
When it was time to go to bed, Lin Tiantian wanted to sleep with Lin Xiaoqiu, but Lin Xiaoqiu politely refused.
After pulling me into the room and closing the door, Lin Xiaoqiu asked me in a low voice, "Xiao Ning, do you feel that Lin Tiantian has been targeting you?"
I was startled, "Did you see it?"
"Do you think I'm stupid? It's so obvious, can I not tell?" Lin Xiaoqiu rolled her eyes at me, "She is isolating you by wooing me. Xiaoning, are you not angry when I play with her? I'm not really playing with her. , I’m trying to find out if there is any sinister smell on her body.”
Lin Xiaoqiu nervously explained to me, which warmed my heart and made me feel funny.
I pretended to be sad and lowered my head, "She is a eldest lady, beautiful and enthusiastic, and can give you so many gifts. It's normal that you like to make friends with her..."
"What are you talking about!" Before I could finish speaking, Lin Xiaoqiu got angry and interrupted me, "Xiao Ning, we have known each other for three years. In your eyes, I am someone who betrays my friends so easily..."
"Pfft!" I couldn't help it and burst out laughing.
Hearing the laughter, Lin Xiaoqiu knew that I had been deceived and rushed over to scratch my itch.
"Okay, Xiao Ning, you lied to me!"
We made a fuss.
When we were tired of the fuss, we lay side by side on the big bed, looking up at the ceiling.
"Lin Xiaoqiu, it's nice to meet you." I said sincerely.
Lin Xiaoqiu clicked her tongue in disgust, "Don't say these toothless and sour words, they are unbearable. By the way, Xiaoning, why is Lin Tiantian targeting you? Have you two known each other before?"
Lin Xiaoqiu is my high school classmate. She has never met my mother, so she doesn’t know about my relationship with Mrs. Lin.
I thought about it and finally decided to hide it from Lin Xiaoqiu. I had no intention of getting to know my mother, so there was no need to make my relationship with her known to everyone.
I shook my head and said I didn't know, and then changed the subject, "Is there something wrong with Lin Tiantian's bedroom?"
Lin Xiaoqiu entered her bedroom and must have observed it carefully.
Lin Xiaoqiu shook her head, "Her room is very clean, without a trace of gloom. And her room smells very good."
"It's not impossible for a lady from a wealthy family to wear perfume in her room." I said.
"It's not the smell of perfume," Lin Xiaoqiu looked sideways at me, "Xiaoning, the smell of her room is very similar to yours, it's the smell of incense."
I was startled and turned to look at Lin Xiaoqiu, "Are you sure?"
The smell of the offering incense on my body is different from the smell of ordinary burning paper and incense. I am offering sacrifices to the Immortal Family. Most people cannot smell the offering aroma on my body. Only those in the Tao can smell the rich aroma. This is also a way to identify people who share the same path.
Lin Xiaoqiu frowned, thought about it carefully for a moment, and finally said, "The taste is really similar, but I'm not sure. After all, if she is really carrying the Xian family on her back, why didn't you notice it?
Xiao Ning, I made an appointment with her to find her in her room early tomorrow morning. Then you come with me and go into the room and smell the aroma for yourself. "
I nodded.
If Lin Tiantian is afraid that I will steal her maternal love and targets me, then I don't have to take her targeting seriously. But if she carries the Xian family on her back, then this matter may not be simple.
I hope I'm overthinking it.
When I was sleeping until midnight, I suddenly heard someone knocking on the bedroom door.
The sound came from a low direction, like a child playing a prank.
Lin Xiaoqiu was too sleepy to move, so she pushed me and asked me to open the door.
I got out of bed, yawned, and walked over to open the door.
When I opened the door and saw what was outside the door, I felt like I had been poured cold water on me, and I suddenly woke up.
There was no one outside the door, only a pair of red embroidered shoes made of paper!
It was these embroidered shoes that were knocking on the door just now!
