Chapter 66 Help Yuan Xi get justice
Chu Lin just smiled and said, "Mom, it's nothing, it's just a joke."
Yang Ying was surprised. Chu Lin's temper was not someone that could be easily provoked. It was really unusual that he said it was just a joke after being splashed with red wine.
Zhou Jiameng felt a little nervous when she heard that it was just a joke.
Zhou Jiameng heard Chu Yan tell her privately that Yang Ying and Chu Qing both wanted her to become the future young lady of the Chu family.
Over the past year, Zhou Jiameng had invited Chu Lin to have dinner with her every time, and Chu Lin had never refused. Zhou Jiameng felt that her position as Mrs. Chu was secure.
But when she heard Chu Lin's chuckle when he mentioned Liang Suisui, she felt a little nervous.
Yuan Xi said, "I'm not kidding, Mom. It was Chu Lin who verbally insulted my friend first. He saw my friend at Jiang Ye and spread rumors that my friend wanted to hook up with Gu Hanchen, a rich son-in-law. It was also he who verbally insulted my friend yesterday, and my friend was so angry that he poured red wine on him."
Chu Qing frowned and slammed the table, saying, "Chu Lin, how can you be so uneducated!"
Chu Lin glared at Yuan Xi.
Yuan Xi was not afraid.
Yang Ying also looked at Chu Lin angrily, "Chu Lin, you really went too far. She is a pure girl, and you said she hooked up with a rich man like Gu Hanchen. Aren't you afraid that her reputation will be damaged? Don't pay for the clothes. Buy a gift and go to her house to apologize."
Chu Lin frowned and said, "Okay, I got it."
After finishing the meal, Chu Lin walked up to Yuan Xi and said, "You are good at complaining."
Yuan Xi said: "I'm not complaining, but you really are going too far. If you hate me, just come at me. There's no need to embarrass my friends."
Chu Lin sneered and said, "Embarrass her? If I were to embarrass her, would I lose my watch, which I haven't worn for two days, to her as a bet?"
"It's best not to make things difficult for my friend." Yuan Xi said.
Chu Lin asked, "Where is her home?"
Yuan Xi frowned and looked at Chu Lin, "What do you want to do?"
"Go and apologize. Even if you don't tell me, I can find out."
Yuan Xi frowned, but still told Chu Lin the address of Liang Suisui's home.
Just as he said, even if she didn't tell him, Chu Lin would be able to find out.
Chu Qing and Yang Ying both said so. Yuan Xi didn't believe that Chu Lin would still make things difficult for Liang Suisui.
Zhou Jiameng walked to Chu Lin's side and said, "Chu Lin, shall I go with you?"
"Need not."
Chu Lin rejected Zhou Jiameng and drove a new supercar.
Huo Shiyan asked Yuan Xi, "Do you want to go back to the mansion, or visit Liang Suisui's home?"
Yuan Xi said, "Chu Lin wouldn't be so rude as to go to Liang Suisui's house to embarrass her. Besides, Liang Suisui's relatives are all next to her house, and the factory is also next to her. If Chu Lin dares to go to Liang Suisui's house to embarrass her, he won't get any advantage. We can just go back to the mansion."
Yuan Xi didn't sleep well last night. She was a bit sleepy to begin with, and she fell into a deep sleep on the way back in the car.
I dreamed of a church wedding in a daze.
Most of the villagers in several villages near the lake believe in Buddhism and Taoism, and a small number believe in Christianity.
The church was built with funds from several big Christian bosses from a nearby village.
The church is on the edge of the lake and has a beautiful view. Many newlyweds come to the church on the lake to hold their weddings.
When he was a child, Yuan Xi and his friends watched a church wedding, and then went into the church and pretended to get married like the adults.
"Put your hands on the Bible, Xiaoxi, are you willing to marry Brother Zhuangzhuang as your wife, and never leave him no matter how old he is, sick or dead, rich or poor?"
"I am willing."
"Brother Zhuangzhuang, are you willing to marry Xiaoxi and stay with her forever, regardless of life or death?"
"I am willing."
"Brother, sister is sleeping so soundly..."
The children's voices in Yuan Xi's dream combined with the children's voices in reality. She opened her eyes and found that she had returned to Ruo Hu Mansion.
Yuan Xi thought that since she did not believe in Christianity, the oath she swore in the church should not be allowed.
And we don’t even know where Brother Zhuangzhuang is.
Seeing Yuan Xi just waking up and looking confused, Huo Shiyan asked, "Did you dream? Who did you dream about?" Yuan Xi had just woken up and said without any thought, "Brother Zhuangzhuang."
Xiao Shi was confused and asked, "Brother Zhuangzhuang? I don't like Brother Zhuangzhuang. I like Xiaomei, Brush and Grandpa Niu. I want to watch Big Ear Tutu. I haven't watched cartoons for a long time!"
Huo Shiyan ignored Xiaoshihuo who was clamoring to watch cartoons, and asked Yuan Xi: "What did you dream about?"
Yuan Xi definitely couldn't tell Huo Shiyan that when she was a kid, she and other little boys played house and got married in the church. "I just dreamed about the things I played in the church when I was a kid."
“I want to play in the church too!”
Xiaoshihuo said at the side, "I want to go play!"
After Yuan Xi had a nap in the car, his sleepiness had dissipated a lot. "Okay, I'll take you to the church to play."
It's always better to go to church than to watch cartoons.
It takes five minutes to drive to the church.
Today is Sunday, and the Christian villagers in the village are gathering in the church for worship.
"You are Yuan Qing's daughter, right?"
Yuan Xi heard a dialect and turned around to see her former neighbor, "Auntie, it's me."
Aunt Meng looked Yuan Xi up and down and said, "You're so old now, you're finally back. Your grandmother and uncles are really worthless. They kicked you out of your home after such a big incident. Now that the house is being demolished, they've been looking for you!"
"Looking for me?" Yuan Xi asked.
Aunt Meng said, "Yes, the village said that the big boss of the demolition has seen the list and said that the first heir to the house left by your parents is you, and you have to sign for the demolition compensation.
Now your grandfather and his family are looking for you everywhere, asking you to sign the document agreeing to the demolition of the house, otherwise your house will not be demolished. "
Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyan beside him.
Huo Shiyan said to Yuan Xi: "That should have belonged to you."
Aunt Meng looked at Huo Shiyan who was standing next to Yuan Xi and said, "Oh, this boy is so handsome. This is your..."
Yuan Xi smiled faintly and said, "My husband."
Aunt Meng smiled and said, "You're getting married, why don't you invite us to the wedding banquet?"
Huo Shiyan said: "We haven't had a wedding banquet yet. When we have one, we will invite Aunt Meng."
Aunt Meng smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for your wedding wine!"
Huo Shiyan said: "I will definitely invite Aunt Meng when the time comes."
After Aunt Meng walked away, Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyan and asked, "How do you know she belongs to Aunt Meng?"
"I just heard you call her Aunt Meng."
Yuan Xi was a little confused: "Did I call?"
Huo Shiyan said: "Yes, if you don't believe me, ask Huohuo?"
Yuan Xi didn't need to worry about whether she called him Aunt Meng, nor did she ask Xiao Huohuo for confirmation: "Did you say that I must sign for the demolition of my house?"
Huo Shiyan nodded and said, "Yes, because it originally belonged to you."
Yuan Xi said: "Forget it, let's give the house to them... I've let it go a long time ago and don't want to have anything to do with them anymore."
Huo Shiyan asked Yuan Xi, "When Yuan's father and mother passed away, you were the most helpless, but they took away all the inheritance that should have belonged to you, leaving you nothing. You can let it go, but I can't. I have to help you get this justice back."
Yuan Xi bit her lower lip. She would always remember that time when her adoptive parents were still lying in the ice coffin and her grandparents and their whole family had changed their expressions.
Even when the village chief and villagers advised them not to go too far, they still drove themselves out of the house and even did not allow Yuan Xi to observe mourning.
It was the village chief, his uncle, and Liang Suisui's parents who stepped in and allowed Yuan Xi to see his parents off for the last time.
Thinking back to eight years ago, when he was just an adult, Yuan Xi didn't know how he managed to survive...
"Thank you, Shi Yan."
Huo Shiyan: "Between us, you don't need to say thank you."
Yuan Xi's cell phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was Liang Suisui calling. She answered, "Suisui, what's the matter?"
"Where are you? Come to my house and take your brother away!"
