Chapter 43 Let’s Get Along as Distant Relatives
Chu Lin dialed Yuan Xi's number, and a mechanical female voice came from the other end, "The number you dialed is turned off."

"Mom, the phone is turned off."

Yang Ying's face was gloomy. "Does she have any other contact information? Go ask Gu Hanchen. She really is. Today is her first time to have dinner at the Yang family after she came back. She actually chose to go to the so-called grandmother's house in the village. If your grandfather knew about it, he would be so angry that he would get sick! You should ask Gu Hanchen right away."

Chu Lin contacted Gu Hanchen, "Can you get through to Yuan Xi's number?"

Gu Hanchen: "Oh, I can't contact my sister? I can't get through either, her phone is turned off. She is now President Yuan, and she doesn't even care about me anymore..."

Chu Lin looked at Yang Ying who looked angry, and asked Gu Hanchen, "Then do you know where her grandmother's house is?"

Gu Hanchen said: "How should I know? But I can ask her childhood friend for you. I have her childhood friend's WeChat."

Old Master Yang came over and asked Yang Ying, "Isn't Xinyan here?"

Yang Ying said, "Dad, it's my fault too. I thought Chu Qing and Xin'er told us that we would have dinner at grandpa's house today. Chu Qing thought I said it, but we didn't explain it to her in advance. Xin'er didn't know that we were going to have dinner at the Yang family, so she didn't come at noon. I asked Chu Lin to pick her up in the afternoon, and we will have dinner together in the evening."

Old Master Yang was a little displeased, "You, why didn't you tell Xinyan about such an important matter?"

Yang Ying said guiltily: "I was wrong."

After Mr. Yang returned to the house, Yang Ying said to Chu Lin, "Hurry up and find Yuan Xi now. Make sure you bring her back to Grandpa's house. Your uncle specially cleared a whole day to come back today, so she can't not come."

Chu Yan walked to Yang Ying's side, put her arm around Yang Ying and said, "Mom, what's wrong? My sister hasn't come yet?"

Yang Ying said: "Your sister has something to do."

Chu Yan whispered, "My uncle is so old and a very busy man and he's back. Can my sister be busier than him? Isn't Yuan Xi taking it too seriously?"

Yang Ying said to Chu Lin: "Go quickly."

……

Lianbu Village.

After dinner, Liang Hao took Yuan Xi to Ruo Lake to fish for crayfish. "Let's catch a bucket of crayfish in the afternoon. I can fry thirteen-spice crayfish for you in the evening. My cooking is especially delicious."

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "You can cook now? That's amazing."

Liang Hao said: "That's right. Nowadays, men who can't cook can't get married. Will Huo Shiyan cook for you?"

Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyan and smiled softly, "He has hired a chef, so he doesn't have to cook by himself."

Liang Hao stretched out a finger and waved it, "NO! The way a chef cooks is completely different from how I cook. The way a chef cooks is without any love. Only the way I cook is with love."

Huo Shiyan coughed slightly and said, "I will try my best to learn."

Yuan Xi repeatedly said: "You don't have to listen to the nonsense of the child."

Liang Hao said, "I'm an adult, not a child anymore. Let's go fishing for crayfish. I'll call Sister Sui Sui. If she wakes up, she can come over to fish for crayfish with me."

Yuan Xi followed Liang Hao to a small ditch beside Ruo Lake. Since it was the weekend, many people brought their children there to fish for lobsters.

Yuan Xi looked at Liang Hao, "Are you sure there aren't more people than lobsters here?"

Liang Hao said: "There must be a lot of lobsters. There are quite a lot of lobsters here."

Yuan Xi didn't dare to eat this kind of wild crayfish when she was pregnant, but she had to admit that after staring at the computer for a long time, sitting by the lake and fishing for lobsters was quite interesting.

"Beautiful aunt, I'll give you a flower."

A little girl about three or four years old came over picking a small wild flower from the roadside.

Yuan Xi took it and chuckled, "Thank you, little friend."

Huo Shiyan was standing next to Yuan Xi, looking at the little girl with two pigtails, and then at the little boy who was playing wildly in the water and got his body wet. He originally had no expectations about the gender of the baby in Yuan Xi's belly, and he actually wanted a daughter.

Yuan Xi said: "Little girls are still cute and adorable. I hope the child will be a daughter."

Huo Shiyan smiled and said, "I hope it's a daughter too."

Liang Hao caught a lot of crayfish by himself. "It's a good catch today. Why hasn't Sister Sui Sui come yet? Didn't she say she was on her way?"

On a village road at the junction of Huxi Village and Lianbu Village.

Liang Suisui was riding a bicycle and couldn't stop for a moment. She turned straight into the Koenigsegg supercar that was turning in front of her and fell to the ground. After she stood up, she frowned and said, "Do you know how to drive? This is a village road. Didn't you see the speed limit sign? Is this your living room? You are driving so fast. I am really impressed. Don't you know to turn right and go straight?"

Chu Lin looked at his beloved car that was hit and frowned, "You suddenly rode out and hit me."

Liang Suisui said, "Call the police. I don't want to talk to you."

After Liang Suisui finished speaking, he called Liang Hao and said, "Come over to the supermarket quickly."

Liang Suisui called Chen Yuan, Shi Lei and their family members again.

While Chu Lin was waiting for the traffic police to arrive, he found that he was surrounded by villagers. After learning that Liang Suisui was the daughter of the Liang family, they even criticized him in dialect.

"These young people in the city really drive recklessly. It's like this every weekend. They either park randomly or drive randomly."

"He's so young, he doesn't even know how to drive."

Chu Lin was originally from Jiangcheng. He couldn’t speak the local dialect but he could understand it. “She suddenly came out and bumped into me!”

Liang Suisui looked at Chu Lin in front of him and felt that he looked familiar. When Chen Yuan came over, he asked, "Yuan Xi's brother?"

Liang Suisui raised his eyes and looked at Chu Lin, "He is Yuan Xi's brother?"

Chen Yuan said: "Yes, it's Yuan Xi's brother. You also met him at Yuan Xi's return banquet a few days ago. Have you forgotten?"

Liang Suisui really didn't remember Chu Lin. She picked up the bicycle and said, "Forget it, forget it. As for Yuan Xi's brother, I won't ask you for compensation. It's my bad luck."

When Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyan came over, they saw a large group of people and the iconic Koenigsegg. Yuan Xi really saw Chu Lin.

"elder brother."

Chu Lin looked at Yuan Xi unhappily and said, "Come on, follow me to Yang's house for dinner."

Yuan Xi bit her lip lightly. Liang Hao walked up to Chu Lin and said, "I have already caught a bucket of crayfish. My sister is going to stay at our house for dinner today."

Chu Lin frowned as he looked at the crayfish, and said disdainfully: "Yuan Xi, how can you eat such garbage? Today, my uncle specially set aside a day to attend the dinner party, also to give you face, you should hurry back to the Yang family with me."

Huo Shiyan looked at Yuan Xi and said, "Go wherever you like, don't worry about others."

Although Yuan Xi didn't dare to eat wild crayfish during pregnancy, Chu Lin's words were rubbish, and she couldn't help but say angrily: "I have eaten this kind of rubbish for 26 years and nothing happened. I will stay at my grandparents' house today and visit them next time at the Yang family's grandparents."

Chu Lin said: "Yuan Xi, what kind of grandparents are they to you? They are all accomplices in child trafficking. Our Chu family is being merciful by not retaliating against them. Don't be so confused and unable to distinguish between good and bad."

Yuan Xi: "I can clearly distinguish between good and bad. It is precisely because I can clearly distinguish between good and bad that I choose to stay here."

Chu Lin frowned, "Do you know your uncle's position? In order to welcome you today, grandpa has said that everyone must be here, what about you?"

Yuan Xi vaguely heard from Gu Hanchen that Uncle Yang was the second-in-command of Jiangcheng, and Grandpa Yang was also a powerful leader before his retirement.

Under normal circumstances, Yuan Xi should indeed go and try to curry favor with him, since Mi Chen is in Jiangcheng's territory after all.

but……

Yuan Xi looked at Chu Lin: "In order to welcome me, everyone must be here, but did you inform me in advance that I must be here? Just like my previous homecoming banquet, everything does not require my consent.

"Why do you think I can be summoned and dismissed at will? In the final analysis, you are simply looking down on me. Would you treat Chu Yan and Bo Fan in the same way?"

Chu Lin said: "What does this have to do with Chu Yan and Bo Fan? Come with me quickly, don't be so sensitive, and don't make a fuss."

Yuan Xi said: "Boss Chu, I'm not making a fuss. I went to look for my biological parents because I wanted to know where I came from and my real birthday, but I don't want my biological parents to control my every move. I think we should just treat each other as distant relatives in the future...

As a distant relative, you don’t need to go to a private family dinner like the Yang family’s today.”

Chu Lin frowned: "Yuan Xi, do you know how sad your parents will be if you say this? Your mother is already angry and sad enough because you chose to come here as a buyer at noon.

I just forgot to inform you in advance, and I came to see you in person, but you still felt that I looked down on you. Aren’t you too self-deprecating and sensitive?

You are really not as straightforward and generous as Yanyan, why are you so sensitive and stingy? "

Huo Shiyan put his hand on Yuan Xi's waist and said, "Mr. Xiao Chu should go to the ophthalmology department for a check-up."

Liang Suisui: "Not only the ophthalmology department, we should go to the Seventh Hospital to have a good look at the psychiatry department!"
