"Mr. Xu’s visit today truly graces our humble abode." Elder Jin observed Xu Ke leading Lin ngyao over, his wrinkled face smiling like a withered chrysanthemum.
"I haven’t yet congratulated Elder Jin on the Jin family’s progress," Xu Ke said indifferently.
"It’s also thanks to Mr. Xu’s support. It’s truly like the waves of the Yangtze River, one stronger than the last. We elders can’t compare with you young people," Elder Jin remarked with a hint of admiration.
"Mr. Xu, you and your wife are a perfect match." After his musings, Elder Jin glanced at Xu Ke and Lin ngyao, speaking in a pleased tone.
It was Lin ngyao’s first ti interacting with the Jin family. Seeing the legendary Elder Jin teasing her and Xu Ke like a regular family elder made her face flush red.
"My wife and I are a match made in heaven." Xu Ke glanced at Lin ngyao, withdrew his hand, and placed it on her shoulder in a possessive gesture, saying cheerfully. Elder Jin was montarily stunned before bursting into laughter, "Indeed, a match made in heaven."
"What are you talking about to make Grandpa laugh so happily?" A voice as clear as a bell interrupted their conversation; it was Elder Jin’s granddaughter Jin Yuyan.
"Brother Xu, I haven’t seen you in a long ti. When can we go out for a al?" Jin Yuyan greeted Xu Ke with a smile, as if she hadn’t seen Lin ngyao.
Instinctively, Lin ngyao leaned closer to Xu Ke. Her womanly intuition told her that this woman had ulterior motives for Xu Ke. "Xu Ke, who is this person?" Lin ngyao pressed against Xu Ke, looking up with wide, innocent eyes like a newborn kitten. Xu Ke’s heart nearly lted; at this mont, his eyes were only on Lin ngyao, completely ignoring the Jin grandfather and granddaughter.
"I’m Jin Yuyan, and this is my grandfather. Who are you?" Jin Yuyan introduced herself graciously and looked at Lin ngyao with an inquisitive gaze, but Lin ngyao detected a fleeting disdain in her eyes from an angle Xu Ke couldn’t see.
"I’m Xu Ke’s wife, also the CEO of Lin Group, my na is Lin ngyao." Lin ngyao replied with a similarly gracious smile.
Although the two won were smiling on the surface, they subtly competed as they shook hands.
Xu Ke frowned slightly, looking at the two won clasping hands, a bit dissatisfied he said, "You two have been shaking hands for too long. Miss Jin, you should let go. Even though you’re a woman, seeing my wife’s gaze linger on you for too long makes , as her husband, quite jealous."
"Sorry, I just felt an instant connection with your wife, and her beauty was so captivating I lost track of ti," Jin Yuyan took a deep breath, suppressing her desires, and decisively released her hand, appearing to be quite thoughtful.
"I was also entranced by how beautiful Miss Jin turned out to be, and got carried away. But how could you even be jealous of a girl?" Lin ngyao, though seemingly complaining, was extrely shy in expression, causing Jin Yuyan to unconsciously clench her fists, her nails breaking the skin brought her back from her jealous thoughts.
"You go entertain other guests; I’m taking my wife sowhere else to look around." Xu Ke gave Jin Yuyan a warning look, then left with Lin ngyao, not giving the grandfather and granddaughter any chance to speak.
"Are we being too rude?" Lin ngyao tugged at Xu Ke’s sleeve, asking a bit uneasily.
"If they upset you, why care if we’re rude?" Xu Ke lowered his gaze, looking at Lin ngyao with a slightly resentful expression.
"Rember, you are my wife. No one but can bully you. If anyone makes you unhappy, you should make them unhappy too, until you feel better, understand?" Xu Ke said as he twirled a strand of Lin ngyao’s hair resting on her shoulder.
anwhile, Jin Yuyan watched Xu Ke walking away with Lin ngyao, almost grinding her teeth to pieces.
"He doesn’t belong to you; give it up." Elder Jin patted his granddaughter’s back, speaking with an old, weary tone.
"No, I won’t give up. I must have Xu Ke." Jin Yuyan said with resolute determination.
"Find soone else; it would be better for you and for the Jin family," Elder Jin advised.
"No, there’s no one better in Luocheng than him. He can elevate our Jin family to a higher level, just like with the Lin Family," Jin Yuyan looked at Elder Jin with a determined gaze.
"Have you forgotten the lesson from the Yun family?" Elder Jin continued to persuade Jin Yuyan.
"I haven’t forgotten. Yun Lan ended up that way because she was foolish. I won’t make her mistakes. For the Jin family, even if I can’t marry Xu Ke, I’m willing to be his mistress," Jin Yuyan spoke as if entranced.
"You’re a daughter of the Jin family; how can you say such things? I used the family’s resources to educate you, not so you could forget all about propriety and honor. You’re infatuated, you must let go of Xu Ke, he’s not a man you can handle. If you remain obstinate, the Yun family’s present is our Jin family’s future!" Elder Jin scolded sternly.
"And our Jin family absolutely cannot have a granddaughter willing to be soone else’s mistress. You must let go of Xu Ke, and if you persist, I’ll reconsider who will inherit the Jin family. Think about it carefully." Elder Jin gave Jin Yuyan a deep look then turned to leave.
anwhile, as Xu Ke strolled around with Lin ngyao, they were soon intercepted by a pair of siblings.
"Who are you two? I’ve never seen you before," A slightly chubby girl asked, raising her chubby chin at them.
"I haven’t seen you in Luocheng either. Who are you?" Xu Ke frowned, displeased with the way they were examining him and Lin ngyao.
"I’m Jin Ling, and this is my brother Jin Bao." Jin Ling pointed to herself and her brother with her chubby finger.
"We’ve told you who we are, now it’s your turn." Jin Bao loosened his bow tie, taking a few deep breaths as he spoke.
"I’m the CEO of Lin Group, Lin ngyao, and this is my husband Xu Ke." Seeing that Xu Ke had no intention of speaking, Lin ngyao took the initiative to introduce them.
"Brother, have you heard of this company?" Jin Ling turned to look at Jin Bao and asked.
"I’ve never heard of it," Jin Bao shook his head.
"Then it must not be an important company." Jin Ling giggled and then set her sights on Xu Ke and Lin ngyao.
"I like you. From now on, you’re my boyfriend," Jin Ling pointed at Xu Ke.
"Then you are my girlfriend," said Jin Bao, who looked exactly like Jin Ling, pointing at Lin ngyao.
