197: Chapter 196 Enough aning 197: Chapter 196 Enough aning Lin Dong only occasionally ca back, so he didn’t know about the change between his eldest sister and his second brother.
Lin Qiu, however, was sensitive enough to notice the difference.
Lately, her second brother seldom ca ho for als, and her sister treated him very politely.
How co their attitudes seem to have changed now?
In her opinion, both Brother Lu and her second brother were good people, and she had no objections to either being her brother-in-law.
Moreover, compared to Brother Lu, who was farther away and less familiar, she felt even closer and more comfortable with her second brother.
If Mrs.
Zhao really beca her sister’s mother-in-law, she would definitely treat her sister well.
The only trouble might be Jiang Mingqing, the little sister-in-law, but then she thought a woman would eventually get married, so it didn’t really matter.
How could Lin Xia possibly know what her little sister was thinking?
She transferred the food from the pot to the plate and directed Lin Qiu to carry the dishes to the table.
In addition to the leftovers from lunch, she had made three new dishes.
Her second brother had helped her at noon and ended up eating cold rice and cold dishes.
So she felt obliged to make so food for him this evening as compensation.
When Lin Xia ca out of the kitchen and sat down at the table, Jiang Mingyuan looked at the six or seven dishes on the table and joked, “This is quite a feast, isn’t it?”
Lin Xia couldn’t help but laugh, “What feast?
If it weren’t for wanting to go to the movies later and not wanting to delay too much, I’d definitely make a few more elaborate dishes!
Second brother!
I still have to say thank you!”
The fact that the Qians were dealt with was all thanks to the second brother.
Lin Qiu and Lin Dong looked at each other, not knowing why Lin Xia wanted to thank the second brother.
“Lin Xia!
Haven’t I said, don’t be so formal with !
And you, don’t keep saying thank you all the ti!” Jiang Mingyuan picked up the chopsticks and asked with a laugh, “Can we eat now?
It all looks very appetizing!”
At this mont, he felt especially satisfied.
If it weren’t for the conversation that afternoon, he might not have had the chance to sit here and enjoy the al Lin Xia had prepared.
Lin Xia also smiled in relief, “Then I won’t say it anymore!
Second brother!
Go ahead and eat!
Help yourself!” Now that they had opened up to each other, it really wasn’t good for her to keep being so polite.
“Eldest sister!
What happened?” Lin Dong, holding chopsticks, hadn’t yet started eating and asked curiously.
Lin Qiu also looked at Lin Xia curiously, “Sister!”
Lin Xia then told them about how Qian Chunli and the others had co to the stall to make trouble and ended up at the police station.
“Today, Qian Chunli ca to the stall with Lin Yu and Lin Qiang.
Lin Qiang got beaten up by the second brother, and Lin Yu and Qian Chunli were detained for five days for smashing the stall…”
Lin Qiu and Lin Dong both clapped and cheered when they heard the news, but they were also simultaneously worried.
“Eldest sister!
Will they co back to cause trouble after they get out?” Lin Dong asked.
As he was still staying at school and not at ho, he was genuinely concerned for his two sisters.
“Yeah!
Sister!” Lin Qiu knew how troubleso those people could be, not to ntion their father!
Would they ever have peaceful days ahead?
Lin Xia reassured them, “Now that they’ve been dealt with this ti, even if they co to make trouble again, they’ll have to think twice!
Whoever cos, we have to face them.
We can’t spoil them!”
She had thought about farming in the greenhouse before and that she would inevitably run into the Lin Family eventually.
So she had made so preparations and would definitely not show any rcy, whether it was Lin Aiguo or Qian Chunli who ca to stir up trouble.
But because the second brother stepped in, she didn’t even need to lift a finger.
Jiang Mingyuan laughed, “What’s there to be afraid of?
Isn’t the second brother here?”
As long as he was there, there was no chance for Lin Xia to be wronged or aggrieved.
“Right!
With the second brother here!” Lin Dong echoed loudly, his eyes filled with trust and gratitude towards Jiang Mingyuan.
Lin Qiu pursed her lips and smiled, thankful that the second brother was there with her sister at the stall.
Looking at the ti, Lin Xia said, “Okay!
Let’s not talk about this anymore, second brother!
Let’s eat quickly.
We still have a movie to watch, right?”
“Right!” Jiang Mingyuan laughed heartily.
He was looking forward to watching a movie with Lin Xia for the first ti, and even though they had two tagalongs, he was happy.
Lin Dong chuckled excitedly, and Lin Qiu felt the sa way.
The group began eating in silence without speaking.
After the al, Lin Xia and Lin Qiu picked up the bowls and chopsticks and, without washing them, headed straight for the movie theater.
Jiang Mingyuan’s good mood during the journey ca to an abrupt halt upon seeing Ji Man standing at the entrance of the movie theater.
“Lin Xia!
You’re also here to watch a movie?
What a coincidence!” Ji Man greeted Lin Xia with a smile, glancing unintentionally at Jiang Mingyuan’s face, and she blushed with a shy smile.
“Ji Man!
Are you alone?
Why don’t you join us?” Lin Xia suggested.
Ji Man quickly nodded with a smile, “Sure!
And who are these two with you?”
“My sister Lin Qiu and my brother Lin Dong!” Lin Xia introduced her siblings to Ji Man, “This is our classmate from Yecheng University, Ji Man!
You can call her Sister Ji!”
“Hello, Sister Ji!”
They greeted each other and thus beca acquainted.
Jiang Mingyuan looked at Lin Xia, who had a smile on her lips, and felt helplessly like facepalming.
Although he outwardly treated Lin Xia as a sister, he knew he did not see her that way.
He could tell what Ji Man was thinking about him, but he felt nothing for her.
It was clear that this wasn’t a re coincidence; after talking about going to the movies last night, Lin Xia surely took the ti to inform Ji Man today.
But now, with everyone standing right there, Jiang Mingyuan couldn’t say anything and simply went to buy tickets.
Ji Man wrapped her arm around Lin Xia’s, whispering joyfully, “Lin Xia!
You’re the best!
I’ll treat you to a al when I have the chance!”
She had the day off today because Lin Xia told her about the chance encounter at the cinema that evening, which was why she didn’t go to the greenhouse.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have shown up.
Lin Xia didn’t refuse, “Sure!
But an ordinary al won’t do for this matchmaking dinner I’m arranging!”
If Ji Man and her second brother really got together, she would have played no small part in it.
“Of course!
It’ll definitely be upscale!” Ji Man promised, saying if she really got together with Jiang Mingyuan, she’d treat her not just to one but as many als as necessary.
Lin Qiu and Lin Dong stood together, exchanging glances that understood the whole story.
Turns out, their elder sister was creating an opportunity for this Sister Ji Man to get together with their second brother!
But it seed like their second brother was sowhat helpless and unhappy…
After Jiang Mingyuan bought the tickets and so sunflower seeds and soda, he led Lin Xia and the others inside the cinema.
When they found their seats, Jiang Mingyuan deliberately sat between Lin Dong and Lin Qiu.
Ji Man was slightly disappointed, but she also knew that haste doesn’t bring success.
She whispered to Lin Xia, “Lin Xia!
Is your second brother angry?”
She noticed the change between Jiang Mingyuan and Lin Xia; their previous formality was gone, and they seed much more at ease with each other.
This made her slightly anxious.
Although Lin Xia’s feelings for Jiang Mingyuan were those of friendship, Jiang Mingyuan’s feelings for Lin Xia were not the sa.
She was unaware of what had happened to change the way they interacted with each other.
Lin Xia turned her head past Lin Qiu to look at Jiang Mingyuan, who was talking to Lin Dong, and whispered back, “I don’t think so!
Why the rush?
It has to be gradual!”
Actually, she sensed her second brother’s discomfort, but she couldn’t say anything in front of Ji Man.
At that mont, the movie started, and the buzzing noise in the cinema subsided.
Lin Dong and Lin Qiu were completely captivated by the film being shown.
But Jiang Mingyuan was not in the mood to watch the movie; his gaze kept wandering over to Lin Xia’s side.
