Chapter 138 Brother Wants to Eat Well
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The lights in the Lin Mansion were on. The owner of the mansion hurried back and walked over with big strides. When he saw Jealousy's face, he laughed happily:
"Brother Ji! Long time no see!"
The man was about forty years old, with a handsome appearance, but due to years of busy work, he had a few white hairs on his temples.
Jealous smiled and bowed with both hands: "Brother Lin."
Master Lin smiled and quickly supported his arms. His eyes fell on Pu Ran, and he asked curiously, "Who is this?"
"Junior sister, Pu Ran."
"Hahahaha, Miss Pu has grown up to be pretty and smart. She is a lovely girl. I wonder if she has found a husband. What do you think of my Nan Xi?"
As he spoke, he blinked slyly and pointed his finger teasingly at Lin Nanxi who was standing beside him. The young man was elegant and graceful, with well-proportioned eyebrows and far-sighted eyes, half covered by his long dark blue eyelashes. He was neither shy nor annoyed, and was as quiet as a night cloud.
The gentleness on Jealous's face remained unchanged. He just patted Pu Ran's arm and motioned her to stand behind him.
"Brother Lin, you must be joking. I finally got a junior sister after all the hard work. How could you have the heart to snatch her away from me?"
The protective meaning was too obvious, causing Master Lin to raise his thick eyebrows in interest and joke, "It's rare to see Brother Ji protecting someone."
He laughed out loud: "What a surprise today, come on, let's eat and talk!"
Mrs. Lin's voice was gentle and kind: "It's ready, everyone please take your seats!"
A group of people moved to eat, but Lin Nanxi took Beibei and walked away, jealous: "Not together?"
Master Lin said cheerfully: "Let's drink and chat happily. There's nothing to do without the children. The children can have a separate table and go to bed early after dinner."
At this time, Pu Ran, who had been silent, suddenly said, "I think I can also sit at the children's table."
Master Lin waved his hands hastily, looking terrified: "This is really embarrassing for me. You and Brother Ji are both honored guests. The banquet is set up for you. How can you not come?"
The gentle woman covered her lips and smiled: "Girl, sit with me, don't be nervous, they drink their wine, and we chat about our private matters."
"Hahahaha, ma'am is right!"
Pu Ran unnoticeably withdrew his gaze from the brother and sister, and finally sat down at the adults' table.
The table was full of delicacies from the mountains and the sea, and the aroma of century-old wine was spreading. Master Lin raised his glass to toast: "Thank you, Brother Ji, for saving my life earlier. I have no way to repay you, so this glass of wine is for you!"
Jealousy told Puran that he saved Mr. Lin's life, but not physically. Mr. Lin had always been healthy. The salvation here meant saving the entire Lin family.
In the early years, Master Lin was an official in the court. His quick words angered the emperor, and King Qingxuan was so angry that he wanted to execute the entire family. It happened that jealousy cured the king's "incurable disease".
King Qingxuan was very pleased and let Jealousy come up with any conditions as a reward. He asked for the Lin family to be pardoned, and the king agreed, so Master Lin is still extremely grateful to this day.
"Hahahaha, it's just borrowing some money, Brother Ji, just tell me how much you want, you don't have to pay it back!"
Jealous: "Thank you, Brother Lin."
He opened his mouth and said, "There is one more thing. Brother Lin, can you take me to Mijiang?"
The Lin family has now turned to business, and secretly deals with various forces, including Mijiang.
Master Lin suddenly felt embarrassed: "Brother Ji, you don't know, I heard that something happened in Mijiang recently, and the security is very strict. You also know how cruel their methods are. I dare not..."
"Mrs. Lin is already very ill, I can cure her."
A sudden sentence interrupted Mr. Lin's thoughts.
"I'll give you the address of Mijiang as your reward. You just need to point the way. I won't let anyone find you. How about that?"
Mr. Lin and his wife were both stunned.
"Amazing! Brother Ji, you are truly amazing! Other doctors couldn't tell, how did you figure out that my wife was seriously ill?"
"Well, to be honest, the lady does have a strange disease. If you can cure her, I... I can tell you the address!"
Mr. Lin gritted his teeth and agreed. He had no concubines and only this one wife in his life. Curing his wife was more important than anything else.
The lady's eyes were moist and she was moved: "Husband..."
What a loving couple.
Are the couple in love?
Pu Ran lowered his head and ate his meal silently without saying a word.
On the other side, Lin Nanxi was having dinner with Beibei.
The girl sat on a wooden chair, swinging her legs, picked up a meatball with chopsticks, took a few bites, and then frowned in dissatisfaction: "Brother, eat meat!"
She pushed the plate full of meatballs in front of Lin Nanxi, glared at him fiercely, and threatened: "Eat meat!"
The boy's diet was too simple, just a steamed bun, a plate of vegetables, a plate of beans, and a bowl of porridge. It wasn't just this one meal, but every meal in recent years, so Beibei was worried.
"We have a lot of money at home! Brother wants to eat meat! Eat meat!"
Lin Nanxi clenched his fingers, the protruding joints glowed a cold white color, his expression was so heavy and firm that it made him breathless, and finally he raised his hand and touched Beibei's head with restraint.
"Brother, just eat these."
He made a promise very solemnly, more like strengthening his gradually crumbling will, and murmured: "Brother will protect Beibei and mother, I will."
The girl was too young and often confused. She couldn't understand the boy's words at all. She was just anxious and sad: "My mother and I are fine. We don't need my brother to protect us. My brother wants to eat well! Eat well!"
Only when it came to meals did the boy stand firm, and he once again rejected his sister's kindness.
"good evening."
The door creaked open, and a girl with a cold face leaned against the door and waved at the two of them.
Beibei was delighted: "Sister Ran!"
She kicked the chair away and ran over, opening her arms happily: "Sister, hug me!"
The coldness on Pu Ran's face melted away a little, and she stretched out her arms to hold the girl in her arms. Beibei was like a little bird returning to the forest, hugging the girl's neck affectionately and rubbing against her.
Lin Nanxi sat upright, looking surprised: "Why is the girl here?"
"They needed space to talk business, so I came out for a walk."
After saying that, his expression became dull again, and he said dryly, "I'm not full. Can I sit at your table and eat more?"
Without waiting for the boy to answer, Beibei had already greeted him attentively: "Sister, eat as much as you want! Eat more and grow taller!"
Looking at the little guy in his arms, Puran smiled and said, "Thank you, Beibei."
She sat down calmly, picked up a pair of new chopsticks, picked up the meatball, and took a small bite as if testing poison.
Meatballs are fine.
She aimed her chopsticks at the beans in front of the boy again. The boy wanted to speak out to stop her, but Pu Ran's movements were faster.
He was already chewing the beans, and Pu Ran called him, "Would you like some?"
Lin Nanxi clenched and unclenched her fists, and said helplessly: "No, I'm full."
Beans are also fine.
It just has no flavor and tastes terrible.
In other words, the food Lin Nanxi ate had no seasoning, not even cooking oil.
It was just boiled in water and served directly.
