Chapter 44 (1/2)
Zhan beiheng raised a spoiled smile and squinted at her.
At that time, Lin Jiangxia realized that he seemed to have inadvertently angered him.
”Sorry, I'm a little too... Too angry.” She lifted her hands and said, ”Zhou Meilan, she can... Mention my mother so carelessly.”
Zhan beiheng gently put his index finger on his lips and motioned for her to keep her voice down.
After all, walls have ears, not to mention the old Lin house.
Lin Jiangxia breathed and nodded gently.
Zhan beiheng approached her, pinched her chin with one hand and said softly, ”you did a good job.”
The compliment surprised her, ”isn't it?”
He definitely nodded and said, ”I'll give you a chance to go to the study.”
Lin Jiangxia pursed her lips and hung her head for a long time before saying, ”OK, but I need half an hour.”
”Yes.” Zhan beiheng said solemnly, ”but remember, don't be angry. Anger makes people irrational. ”
”I see.” She answered softly.
Lunch officially starts at five past eleven.
The square dining table of the Lin family, which has not been replaced for many years, is particularly old.
At the dinner table, Lin Jiangxia sat on the left side of Zhan beiheng, while Lin Leyu sat on his right side. Opposite the three, Lin Youguo and his wife sat, and old man Lin sat alone at one end of the dinner table as a parent.
Lin Youguo ordered the servant to open the wine.
”Chairman Lin, let me propose a toast to you.” Zhan beiheng pinched the goblet and said.
Lin Jiangxia was surprised, but she immediately realized that only by intoxicating Lin Youguo could she have a chance to go to the study.
Flattered, Lin Youguo quickly picked up his glass and said, ”this is a family banquet. Don't call me the chairman of the board, beiheng. Just call me uncle. ”
Zhan beiheng provoked a cold smile from the corner of his mouth: ”yes, uncle Lin.”
After hearing this, Lin Leyu, who was beside him, was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
Lin Jiangxia couldn't help glancing at her and wondered if the woman was crazy? What does Zhan beiheng call his father? Does it have anything to do with her?
Then Zhan beiheng looked up and drank a whole glass of wine.
”Beiheng, drink slowly. Drinking urgent wine is bad for your health.” Lin Leyu gently reminded him, as if she were his fiancee.
This family is thicker skinned than Lin Jiangxia imagined.
”That's right. Family banquets should be friendly. You can't say those words that destroy the atmosphere without rules.” Zhou Meilan took the opportunity to stab Lin Jiangxia.
Lin Jiangxia sneered in her heart and picked up the goblet. The servant immediately came forward and filled her with wine.
”Aunt Zhou, I made a mistake just now. Now I propose a toast to you. I hope you can forget the past.” She raised her arm and said to Zhou Meilan.
Zhou Meilan was surprised, but in this atmosphere, she had to pick up her goblet and say, ”nonsense again, boy, do you need to apologize to me for such a thing? I'm not such a penny pincher! OK, OK, I'll just drink this one. ”
