Chapter 322 Miss Zhongyuan bullies a little slave from Miaojiang (23)
As the night grows darker, the lights go out one by one.
In the Lin Mansion, the lamp was still lit in the study of the Lin family patriarch, and two figures were reflected on the window.
Patriarch Lin sat at the desk and talked earnestly with Lin Qi:
"Qi'er, I know this matter has wronged you a little, but for the sake of the overall situation, your father hopes that you will not be willful."
Lin Qi just listened expressionlessly, with a dull face, and did not speak.
Patriarch Lin sighed deeply, and then advised:
"The situation in Anding City is tense right now. Our Lin family is at a disadvantage compared to the other major families. Only by forming an alliance with the City Lord's Mansion can we make the other major families be cautious and not dare to act rashly."
"Although the city lord's daughter is a little ridiculous and her reputation is not very good, her appearance is very outstanding."
"If the marriage is successful someday, and you really don't like her, you can use the excuse that your master has called you to leave Anding City."
……
The head of the Lin family tried to persuade him again and again, but Lin Qi's mind kept flashing back to the little girl he saw during the day.
If it's a marriage... If it's a marriage... Then there will be no chance anymore.
Seeing that the head of the Lin family was still nagging him, he was impatient in his heart but did not show it on the surface.
Then he just said lightly: "Let's talk about it later. The other party may not be interested in me."
After he came back, he also heard about the young lady of the City Lord's Mansion.
Although his actions are unpleasant, we also know that the other party is a person with high standards and ambitious minds.
It's possible that you might be infatuated with his appearance for a while, but marriage? The other party might not necessarily agree.
Then he said coldly: "My son will go back first. Father, please make the arrangements. I will cooperate."
Then he turned and left the study.
The head of the Lin family couldn't stop sighing behind him, and his face was full of sorrow.
-
Not long after, the eldest daughter of the Lin family held a flower-viewing banquet and invited the daughters of wealthy families in Anding City to enjoy the flowers.
As the daughter of the City Lord, Ji Chutang was naturally among those invited.
In the past, such banquets depended on Ji Chutang’s mood.
If you are in a good mood, go to the party; if you are in a bad mood, don’t go.
But whether she goes or not is one thing, and whether others post the invitation or not is another.
Most of the time, even if an invitation was sent, Ji Chutang was unwilling to attend such a banquet.
But this time is an exception. How could she give up the opportunity to meet a handsome guy?
He prepared to attend the banquet with Chun Ling, Xia Rui and others.
She originally didn't want to bring Lou Ji along, but this guy just blocked her way.
He said coldly: "I am the lady's personal bodyguard, so I should stay by her side all the time."
This excuse left Ji Chutang unable to refute.
In the end, I had no choice but to take him with me with me, which was a headache.
At the gate of the Lin family, there was a servant waiting anxiously at the door. Every time a guest arrived for the banquet, he would take a look.
After realizing that it wasn't the person he was waiting for, he looked away in disappointment.
Following the orders from the master of the house, he had to wait here. When he found out that Miss Ji from the City Lord's Mansion had come to the banquet, he went to report back.
However, it is still unknown whether Miss Ji will attend the banquet. There is a high probability that Miss Ji will not come to the banquet.
The servant looked around.
Finally, when he saw the Ji family's iconic carriage, his eyes lit up. Then he confirmed that the person who got off the carriage was Miss Ji.
He quietly left the spot and hurried to reply.
When Ji Chutang arrived at the Lin family, someone naturally came to take her in.
Ji Chutang's appearance undoubtedly attracted the attention of these young ladies again.
Someone whispered.
Some people looked suspicious.
How did an ordinary flower-viewing banquet attract this guy to attend?
Miss Lin Xinyi of the Lin family saw Ji Chutang, smiled kindly and walked up to her and took her hand:
"I haven't seen you for a long time. You look even more beautiful now."
It is said that you should not hit a smiling person. When others praise her, how can she still have a bad face?
Naturally, he smiled and responded, "Sister Lin is also beautiful."
Ji Chutang openly admitted that she was beautiful and at the same time flattered the other person.
Lin Xinyi smiled lightly, thinking to herself, who spread the rumor that Ji Chutang was arrogant and difficult to deal with? Isn't this a good thing?
They each have their own thoughts in their minds, but they don't show it on the surface and just get along in an official manner.
The Lin family held a banquet under the name of a flower-viewing banquet, and naturally, several pots of rare flowers were placed at the banquet.
Ji Chutang was not very interested in these flowers. Many of the flowers here were already planted in her own small garden.
Listening casually to the chattering of other ladies.
At the same time, he secretly let the system detect Lin Qi's whereabouts.
Until the system told her that Lin Qi was in the Lin Mansion, walking in the yard of a building across the lake next to the flower-viewing pavilion.
And Lin Qi was indeed walking, and the head of the Lin family urged him to go and meet the daughter of the City Lord's Mansion.
He couldn't resist, so he thought of going out and taking a look while passing by, which would be considered as an explanation to his father.
He had just reached the lake when he saw a figure he had not expected to see.
However, the figure only flashed by and then disappeared beside the rockery at the opposite corner.
Lin Qi's eyes almost widened.
At this moment, he had completely forgotten everything that the head of the Lin family had just told him, and there was only one thought left in his mind: find her.
Then he quickly chased to the opposite side.
At this moment, Ji Chutang was also following the route planned by the system and heading towards the place where Lin Qi had just appeared.
While walking, he asked: [Are you sure this is the best route? ]
The system patted its chest and said, "Don't worry, the best route planned by the system panel will never be wrong."
Although Ji Chutang was skeptical about what the system said, he still walked up according to the route.
She couldn't stay in the Lin Mansion alone, looking for someone like a mindless fly.
This is too obvious, and it may not be found.
However, it was this route planning map that allowed her and Lin Qi to pass by each other easily.
In fact, if Lin Qi stayed where he was, this would indeed be the best route closest to Lin Qi.
However, Lin Qi also saw her, so he left the place.
He chased after her from another road, and the two of them missed each other perfectly.
Ji Chutang didn't see Lin Qi until the route map showed that they had reached the destination.
At this moment, she had walked to another pavilion, and opposite her was a man with his back to her.
The man's clothes did not look like those of a rich man, but more like those of a servant in the Lin Mansion.
But I haven't seen his face yet, maybe Lin Qi is just dressed like a servant for some reason.
Ji Chutang comforted himself.
Then he pretended to be lost and said, "Excuse me, I'm here to attend the banquet, and I'm not familiar with the way to the Lin Mansion..."
