Chapter 678: Everyone has their own way of living
Her heart was small and her vision was narrow. She only had Gu nianshen.
When she thought back to her youth, she realized that she had given all her attention to Gu nianshen. She had not thought about how to get along with anyone else.
Xi Xia could tell that Lin Yiqian was being sarcastic.”You don’t have to be sarcastic. Everyone has their own way of living. Your aloofness is your way of living, while my tactfulness is mine.”
Lin Yiqian did not think that there was anything wrong with what he said.
Indeed, she had never felt that there was anything wrong with her good interpersonal relations.h.i.+ps. From the bottom of her heart, she was still a little envious.
But it was only envy.
She did not say anything else and did not want to say anything more. She walked to the table and picked up the card that Xi Xia had put down to return it to her.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
‘Du du du’
“Come in,” Lin Yiqian replied.
As soon as the door opened, Lin Yiqian’s mind wandered for a moment when she saw who it was.
Lin Tianwan was dressed in a dark gray s.h.i.+rt with a tie and a pair of black trousers. His hair seemed to have been trimmed recently as well. He was in high spirits. This was how Lin Yiqian remembered him.
In the past, he would be dressed like this every day. As long as she came home at night, her mother would definitely help him with his tie the next morning.
The two of them then went to work together.
When he was young, he had been very gentlemanly. He had been in the same Research Inst.i.tute as his mother. His mother had said that she had taken a fancy to him at that time because he was handsome.
Because of his handsomeness, he had firmly captured her heart.
His mother said that she liked him in formal clothes and enjoyed the process of b.u.t.toning his tie for him. It was really blissful.
Although he was a little fat now, after tidying up, he would still …
Lin Yiqian looked at Lin Tianwan as her heart ached for her mother.
Now, his s.h.i.+rt was still straight, but his tie was no longer worn by his mother, and the b.u.t.tons of his s.h.i.+rt were no longer b.u.t.toned by his mother.
She couldn’t look at him any longer. If she did, she would slip away. She quickly looked away and her face quickly turned cold.
Without even greeting Lin Tianwan, she walked toward Xi Xia and shoved the card into her hands.”Miss Xi, thank you for your kind intentions, but I’m not so desperate that I need your donation. Please take care, Miss Xi. I won’t be giving you anything.”
Xi Xia lowered her head to look at the card in her hand and did not insist further.
She kept the card in her bag and turned to look at Lin Tianwan, who was standing at the door, looking at them in a daze.”Uncle Lin,” she greeted with a smile.
“You are …”
Lin Tianwan had met Xi Xia before, but he could not remember her.
He looked a little familiar.
Xi Xia was not embarra.s.sed that he had not recognized her. She smiled and introduced herself.”I’m Xi Xia. I grew up with nianshen and little Yi.”
“Oh, I kind of remember now,” Lin Tianwan said with a smile.
“I haven’t seen you in years. You only met a few times when you were in school,” he said as he walked toward Xi Xia.
Xi Xia nodded.”Yes, I am.”
As the two of them began to chat, Lin Yiqian interrupted them coldly.”I’m sorry, both of you. I’m very busy right now. If there’s nothing else, let’s … Go together.”
Lin Yiqian glanced at Xi Xia and Lin Tianwan. It took her a lot of effort to control herself from uttering the word ‘scram’.
She had been chased out in front of Xi Xia, an outsider.
Feeling embarra.s.sed, Lin Tianwan looked at Lin Yiqian and said,””I saw the news. How could you agree to return everything? aren’t you admitting to what you did?”
