Chapter 19: The Honest Fake Daughter (19)

"Qin Tian."

Lin Xiyan was the first to react. She walked over a few steps with a shy little girl's smile.

It turns out that the male protagonist has arrived.

As expected, where there is a heroine, there must be a hero.

Lin Xiyan's eyes sparkled, and her voice was very gentle: "Sister Lin Ran is in love, and we just found out about it."

Qin Tian looked at Lin Ran.

After several seconds, he said indifferently, "Congratulations."

As expected of the male lead, his superior height, chiseled facial features, and deep black eyes can give people an invisible sense of oppression at a glance.

"Thank you." Lin Ran responded generously, her eyes impartial, and her attitude even more indifferent than Qin Tian's.

Don't think he's the only one who can act cool.

Qin Tian's eyes flashed with surprise, as if he had not expected that his former bootlicker would look down on him.

But soon, he withdrew his gaze and lowered his eyes to look intently at Lin Xiyan who was standing in front of him.

"After the banquet is over, I'll take you somewhere."

His voice became much softer, vividly demonstrating what it meant to treat people differently.

Lin Xiyan was so happy that she hugged Qin Tian's arm and shook it, smiling brightly: "Okay, but you have to wait for me to change into suitable clothes to go out!"

The haute couture dress she is wearing now is not convenient to wear out.

"Silly, how could I not wait for you?"

Qin Tian raised his hand and scratched Lin Xiyan's fair and small nose, which made her cheeks even more rosy in return.

The interaction between the two has a slightly ambiguous and beautiful feeling.

Lin Ran just treated it as if she was watching an idol drama live.

Zhang Xiyang's mentality was not so good.

The light in his eyes had dimmed, his jaw was taut, and his gaze followed Lin Xiyan, now turning him into a pitiful little puppy.

Facing Qin Tian, ​​who has extraordinary looks, family background and abilities, Zhang Xiyang is alone and helpless and seems to have no competitiveness at all.

Not to mention that as soon as Qin Tian appeared, Lin Xiyan could only see him in her eyes.

"Cough, cough!"

Zhang Xiyang's sudden cough finally attracted Lin Xiyan's attention.

"Ayang, are you feeling unwell?"

Lin Xiyan walked back to Zhang Xiyang and patted his back. Her watery eyes were filled with concern for him.

Zhang Xiyang finally returned to his well-behaved appearance as a little puppy and lowered his head to hide the triumph in his eyes.

"Sister Xi Yan, I'm fine. I probably just forgot to cover myself with a blanket when I turned on the air conditioner at night and caught a cold..."

"I'm glad you're okay. You can turn up the temperature of the air conditioner a little when you sleep, so you don't have to worry about catching a cold."

Lin Xiyan's caring words made Zhang Xiyang very happy.

He even gave Qin Tian a smug look at an angle that Lin Xiyan couldn't see.

Qin Tian frowned.

I don't understand why Lin Xiyan was manipulated by such a small trick. Lin Ran saw it and thought it would be better for her to leave first.

The male lead, the female lead and the second male lead are all present. The early Shura field may have been done secretly, and Lin Ran is also afraid that she will be innocently affected.

"Sister, you guys chat, I'm going to the bathroom."

Lin Xiyan smiled like a socialite: "Okay, sister, go quickly, dinner should be ready soon."

Lin Ran nodded and walked towards the place with the restroom sign without looking around.

So I didn't see Lin Xiyan secretly breathing a sigh of relief.

……

Qin Tian arrived. Lin Xiyan just wanted to stay with him at the moment, so she sent away the light bulb Zhang Xiyang.

In front of the tall French window, Lin Xiyan stood upright and elegantly, pretending to chat casually:
"Qin Tian, ​​haven't you and Sister Lin Ran known each other for a long time? Why do you two seem to be unfamiliar with each other?"

Growing up in a wealthy family, Qin Tian has come into contact with so many people and seen so many things in the world since he was a child. How could he not hear Lin Xiyan's little thoughts?

"We didn't know each other well to begin with." Qin Tian lit a cigarette skillfully and held it between his fingers without smoking. "All the words I've said to her combined are not as many as the words I've said to you in the past six months or so that I've known you."

Lin Xiyan clenched her fist and lightly dropped it on Qin Tian's shoulder, saying in a coquettish and ambiguous way: "You volunteered to be my tutor and help me with so many subjects. Can't you say less to me?"

Qin Tian tilted his head to look at her, with a slight smile on his face: "Then do you know why I volunteered to tutor you?"

"Didn't you say you couldn't stand my stupidity and wanted to teach me to be smarter?"

Lin Xiyan said this, but she felt much more at ease in her heart.

In fact, there was one thing she had hidden. She wanted to pair Zhang Xiyang and Lin Ran together, in part because she had heard that Lin Ran had once pursued Qin Tian in a high-profile manner.

As long as she could match Zhang Xiyang and Lin Ran together, she wouldn't have to worry about Lin Ran having any feelings for Qin Tian again.

The two laughed and joked for a while, and when the cigarette in Qin Tian's hand was finished, he put on a serious expression.

"Lin Xiyan, stay away from Zhang Xiyang. He has ulterior motives, and I don't want you to have too much contact with him."

Lin Xiyan's expression also changed, and her eyebrows slightly frowned.

Their relationship is just above friendship but below romance, so why should this man control her interpersonal relationships?
Then after they are together, won't he have to control what she eats and wears every day, where she goes, and who she talks to?

Lin Xiyan didn't think that this was a sign that a man loved a woman deeply. This was clearly a sign that he wanted to manipulate and control a woman!
In her opinion, Qin Tian, ​​who had been at the top of the pyramid since childhood, looked down on her. He looked down on her because she was a rich lady who was found halfway through her life and lacked the elite qualities that a big family had cultivated since childhood!

Lin Xiyan looked at Qin Tian's face seriously, trying to tell him in a steady tone:

"Qin Tian, ​​A Yang and I grew up together, and I know his character best.

He is kind and hates evil. He may be a little willful at times, but it is harmless.

You don’t know, he and I suffered a lot in the orphanage when we were young, and were often bullied by older kids. If Ayang hadn’t bravely stood up to help me, my past life would have been even darker.

So when I was still in the orphanage, I swore that Ayang and I would support each other and share any food we had.

In my heart, he is like my own brother. No matter now or in the future, as long as I am still alive, I will not abandon him.

Qin Tian, ​​I hope... you can understand me."

Staring at Lin Xiyan's red eyes for a long time, Qin Tian gave a faint sarcastic smile.

"So, you would rather suffer yourself than support him and let him climb up by stepping on your shoulders?"

Lin Xiyan shook her head, disagreeing: "Since Ayang has the ability to move towards a better future, why shouldn't I help him?"

"Yes, you agreed to support each other, but why do I only see you as the one who is giving?" Qin Tian glanced at him calmly with his black eyes, questioning calmly, "You dropped out of high school for him, ruined your own future, gave him all the money you earned, so that he could have enough food and clothes and spend money to study art, but you lived a beggar's life. What did he give for you?"
