”Grandma!” Yao Susu pounced on Old Granny Lin, ”Grandma, do you miss me?”
Old Granny Lin patted Yao Susu's head, ”Aiyah, I know what's going on. Why did you change your clothes? These kind of clothes are so good. They look so fresh and lively.”
”That's right!” Yao Susu smiled proudly before looking at Gu Lin Huan by the side in a provocative manner.
”Grandma, what did I bring you?” Yao Susu opened her backpack and took out an exquisite box, ”Look, Grandma, I went on a trip with my classmates. The place I went was to produce jade. Look, I bought you a jade Buddha?”
”Hey, how much money is this? Did you spend all your pocket money?” Old Granny Lin was so happy that she could not even close her mouth. She grumbled and took the jade Buddha to try it on herself.
In fact, she was wearing a pearl necklace, so she didn't need a collar anymore.
Yao Susu giggled at the side for a long time.
One had to say, Yao Susu was very lively. With her around, the Lin Clan was filled with cheers and laughter.
Lin Man also came over and chatted with Yao Susu. Lin Wen Chi also came down and joked with Yao Susu nonstop. The whole hall was filled with happiness.
As she spoke, she brought up Gu Lin Huan's and Gu Lin Le's birthday. Yao Susu agreed, ”Alright, I'll also celebrate the birth of my two cousins today.”
In the evening, the family went to the restaurant separately. Lin Man gently held Lin Susu's arm, wanting to be in the same car as Lin Susu. Gu Lin Huan insisted on following, so Lin Man, Lin Susu, Gu Lin Huan and the others went in the same car.
A few people got off the car and walked to the entrance of the restaurant. At this moment, Lin Wenzhi had already called to tell them to hurry up, he had already arrived with Old Madam Lin.
Upon entering the restaurant, Gu Linhuan realized that the restaurant was really big and its decorations were magnificent. Under the lamplight, the guests were all refined and their manners were extraordinary.
”Hello, may I ask how many of you are there?” Do you have a reservation? ” A waiter came up and asked Lin Man with a big smile on his face.
Lin Man was wearing a proper outfit, with her hair tied up in a bun. She looked elegant and relaxed as she replied, ”Yes, it's in the Black Bamboo Room on the second floor.”
”Alright, come with me. I'll lead you there!” The waiter led the way. After taking a few steps, a voice sounded.
”Manman.” He saw a well-dressed middle-aged woman at the side.
”Ah, so it's Sister He. It's my pleasure to meet you.” Lin Man stepped forward and greeted him.
Lin Susu's expression changed when she saw that person. She lowered her head and nervously rubbed the corner of her clothes, hiding behind Gu Lin Huan. This made her seem even more scared.
The person who was called Sister He by Lin Man chatted with Lin Man for a while and asked her what she wanted.
Lin Man smiled and said, ”A junior has a birthday. I brought him here for dinner.”
”Junior?” Sister He looked at the person behind Lin Man, looked at Yao Susu Zhi, then glanced at Gu Lin Huan, and curiously asked, ”Which family's younger generation? Why don't I know him? He definitely isn't from the Lin Clan? Is that your Yao family? ”Hehe, no wonder. The Yao family is too numerous, I don't know many of them.”
Lin Man did not deny it, neither did he deny it.
When Sister He's gaze swept over them, Lin Susu tried her best to hide behind Gu Lin Huan, just in time for a waiter to pass by. She was in too much of a hurry, so she bumped into Lin Susu. The waiter immediately apologized.
Lin Susu shook her head and said in a low voice, ”It's fine, it's fine.”
Sister He couldn't help but to turn her gaze towards Lin Susu. She was stunned and joked, ”Manman, are you a member of the Lin Family? You're very kind. Why did you come out to celebrate the birthday of a junior and bring a servant with you?”
”Ah?” ”Where are the servants?” Lin Man played dumb.
Sister He laughed heartily and didn't say anything else. After chatting for a bit or two, she took her leave.
Lin Susu's face was pale. She lowered her head and pinched the corner of her clothes. The tip of her nails had turned white.
Gu Lin Huan frowned. She had noticed something wrong with Lin Susu, so she decided to hide it from Lin Susu. She saw that Lin Susu was nervous and didn't want to attract Sister He's attention, so she kept quiet and allowed that person to misunderstand her identity.
”Mom, let's go!” Gu Lin Huan said in a low voice.
She was afraid that Lin Susu would meet someone familiar, so she quickly pulled Lin Susu into the room.
She looked at Lin Susu. In fact, Lin Susu could dress well, but she often lowered her head with a timid look. She was stooped, and she didn't have any bearing.
How could this work? Lin Susu was the daughter of the Lin Clan, yet she was misunderstood to be a servant!
She also knew that Lin Susu was secretly hiding in the Lin Clan right now, and she even winced when she went out, probably afraid that someone would recognize her.
But, could it not always be like this? She wanted Lin Susu to abandon her past and become more confident. She wanted to live happily in the Lin Clan, be intimate with her parents and brother, and go anywhere in the capital.
Gu Lin Huan's heart was heavy, and she was in no mood to talk to other people.
Suddenly, the system's voice rang out with a ”Beep”, ”There is a new mission. Host, please have a look.”
Gu Lin Huanhuan quickly let out the system interface, and the screen displayed:

Gu Lin Huan looked at it for a long time before suddenly calling out to Little Bunnies: ”Hey, Thirteen, is this the new character notification? I think that this isn't a hint, but a supplement. Shouldn't you be prompting me on what method I should use? ”
”I also think that this system prompt is useless!” Thirteen said in a deep voice, but very quickly, he became cheerful again. ”But, cute girl, can you ask me? I'm your caring little assistant! ”
”Alright, let me hear it. Let me see if you have any more useful information than this System Notice.” Gu Linhuan rolled her eyes at the little rabbit.
A caring assistant? Why did she feel that this little rabbit could act cute? Actually, it was useless.
”Aiyaya, what's with your eyes? Are you looking down on me? Girl, let me tell you, I'm angry! There are no more prompts left! ” The little rabbit hugged her shoulder and turned her head, giving a haughty and pampered snort.
Gu Lin Huan was about to continue teasing it when Gu Lin Le suddenly poked her with all his might.
Only then did she realize that the people on the table were all looking at her.
Lin Wen Chi poked at the dishes beside him and snorted, ”Heh, so silly. Did you really get into Beijing University on your own? You didn't copy it right? ”
Gu Lin Huan immediately snapped out of her daze and blurted out, ”If you have the ability, then go and copy one! Copy a computer department from Beijing University!”
Lin Wen Chi was infuriated. The most depressing thing about him was that he failed to pass the computer department which he loved the most. Gu Lin Huan's words stung his heart.
Everyone had different expressions. Gu Lin Huan hurriedly coughed and covered the emotions on her face.
In fact, she endured in the Lin family because they were all Lin Susu's family members and people she cared about. So, she restrained her aura and tried her best to avoid conflict with others.
Just a moment ago, he had just regained his composure and was unable to hold it in. That was why he said those words to Lin Wenzhi.
