Chapter 143 Lin Xiaowan's Strange Feeling
"Xiaowan, let me help you pull the suitcase." Zhang Yang went up very attentively to help Lin Xiaowan pull the suitcase.
"No need, I can pull it myself." Lin Xiaowan smiled slightly and pulled her suitcase to her side.
She didn't know why, but she just didn't want to be too close to Zhang Yang, and she didn't even want him to pull her suitcase.
If she didn't have to deal with her family today, she would have wanted to go back to the hospital to work. Even she herself couldn't explain why she thought so.
However, Zhang Yang was not angry because of Lin Xiaowan's coldness. No matter what, he had to be patient today.
You know, Lin Xiaowan was willing to get drunk for Zhang Yang, so her feelings for Zhang Yang must be more than that. As long as she makes good use of this relationship, she will have a chance to cheat a large sum of money from the Lin Group.
"Don't mind me, I'm just a little nervous about meeting your family." Zhang Yang explained to himself.
Hearing this, Lin Xiaowan felt a little embarrassed. Regardless of whether Zhang Yang accompanied her on this trip really or not, he was doing it to help her deal with her family.
I have been a little cold to him from the moment I got off the plane at the airport until now, which seems a little inappropriate.
She forced a smile and handed the suitcase in her hand to him, but when she saw Zhang Yang pulling his suitcase, she felt an inexplicable discomfort in her heart.
What happened today? Lin Xiaowan also felt very strange.
The two of them walked into the box, and Lin Xiaowan immediately saw her mother and two brothers who had been waiting for a long time.
"Mom, brother..." Lin Xiaowan choked up. She hadn't seen her mother for a long time because of a falling out with her family, and her eldest brother Lin Guocheng had only met her secretly once half a year ago.
Tears could not stop pouring out, she went forward and gave her mother a tight hug, her mother's eyes were also full of tears: "Xiao Wan, Mom has missed you so much in the past two years..."
The two brothers also wanted to hug her, but she could only do so cautiously and gently. Her special problem would also affect her two brothers.
After her family hugged her, her mother looked at Zhang Yang behind her with gratitude. If it weren’t for this boy, their family would have no chance to repair their relationship.
"Xiao Wan, why don't you introduce me to mom?"
Lin Xiaowan wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Yes, Mom, this is Zhang Yang. He is mine, mine..." She couldn't continue. Is Zhang Yang a boyfriend? They haven't officially confirmed their relationship.
Mom smiled knowingly and said, "They are friends. Your dad has told you. Mom understands."
Zhang Yang's heart tightened. He keenly noticed that the atmosphere seemed a bit strange. Did Zhang Yang and Lin Xiaowan not confirm their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend yet?
Also, this family was very happy to see me, even excited, but they seemed to have not seen Lin Xiaowan for a long time. Could it be that I missed some key information?
He stepped forward and said respectfully, "Hello, Auntie." He then took out a string of sandalwood beads from his backpack and said, "Auntie, these are the Buddhist beads I asked for at Kongling Temple in S City. They are just a small token of my gratitude. Please accept them."
Yang Yu took the beads from him, took a look at them in her hand and knew that they were ordinary sandalwood, but she smiled and accepted the beads: "Okay, I like them very much."
She looked him up and down and continued, "Not bad, young man. You two are really shy. You can even feed each other and still be friends. Even an old man like me feels embarrassed."
Lin Xiaowan was exposed, her face flushed, and she lowered her head embarrassedly: "Mom, what are you talking about..."
The two brothers stared at their sister and Zhang Yang with wide eyes. They could hardly imagine the scene of their sister and a boy feeding each other.
As an older brother who dotes on his sister, Lin Guocheng felt a little uncomfortable when he first heard that his younger sister was getting along so well with a boy.
Lin Guodong took the initiative to extend his hand to shake hands with Zhang Yang and said, "My name is Lin Guodong, I am Xiaowan's second brother, and the one behind me is Xiaowan's eldest brother Lin Guocheng."
Zhang Yang reached out his hand and shook hands with the two men one by one, saying with a bit of flattery: "Hello, big brothers. I hope you will take good care of me in the future."
Seeing Zhang Yang reaching out to hug Lin Xiaowan's shoulders as he finished speaking, Lin Guocheng felt unhappy. He coughed and said, "Everyone, please take a seat. I'll ask the waiter to serve the food."
Lin Xiaowan felt a little relieved, thanks to her elder brother. Just now when Zhang Yang was about to hug her, she subconsciously shook her shoulders and tried to avoid him.
But she had to hold back and not hide, otherwise if her mother and brother saw it, wouldn’t that be a big disaster?
Zhang Yang was a little disappointed. It was a pity that Lin Xiaowan's father didn't come, otherwise he could have met the chairman of the Lin Group.
However, her two brothers are probably powerful figures in the group. If she starts with them, there might be a chance. The most important thing at the moment is to gain the trust of their family.
The five people took their seats, and Lin Guocheng called the waiter to serve the dishes and a bottle of Moutai.
He brought four wine glasses, filled them up, moved two glasses in front of Zhang Yang and placed one in front of his younger brother Lin Guodong.
He raised his glass and said, "Zhang Yang, I'm very happy today. Without you, our family can't be reunited. I'll toast to you first."
After saying that, he raised his glass and drank it all.
Zhang Yang was even more confused. Seeing this elder brother's sincere face, there was something fishy. Was there really something hidden? He had to deal with the current situation carefully first.
"Then I will follow Xiaowan in calling you brother. Brother, I'll drink this glass." He raised his glass and drank with Lin Guocheng.
Lin Xiaowan frowned slightly. Although Zhang Yang spoke appropriately, he seemed to have become very worldly-wise and became close friends with his two brothers so quickly, which made her feel a little strange.
Seeing this, Lin Guodong also raised his glass and said, "As long as you and my sister are good, we are a family and we should keep our differences separate. Your business is our business as well."
Zhang Yang was delighted. This was exactly what he wanted to hear. This second brother was so direct. Maybe this was the breakthrough. He raised his glass again and said, "Come on, I'll toast to the second brother!" He drank it all in one gulp.
At this time, the dishes came up. Zhang Yang was very attentive and first picked up dishes for Yang Yu, and then for Lin Xiaowan. He was neither impolite nor neglecting Lin Xiaowan.
Lin Xiaowan looked at Zhang Yang beside her and felt a little strange in her heart. She obviously liked him and even loved him, and she also hoped that he got along well with her family.
Now that all this is happening before my eyes, why do I feel uncomfortable?
She didn't even want to touch the food Zhang Yang picked for her in the bowl. She just silently pushed the bowl aside and ate the food with the plate.
After drinking the wine and eating the dishes, Lin Guodong, who was sitting next to Zhang Yang, took the initiative to talk to Zhang Yang: "Zhang Yang, I heard that you will graduate next year. What are your plans after graduation?"
Zhang Yang wiped the corner of his mouth with a tissue and said, "Right now, I am discussing a startup project with a few friends. We may start it right away, before we graduate."
