The Phantom Butterfly of the Republic of China

Then Jin Ling touched the watch on his wrist and said, "Well, it's almost noon now. How about we go somewhere and talk to you while we eat?" Yan Minnan and Jin Ling seldom go out to eat like this, so this is a good opportunity.

Yan Minnan nodded in agreement with Jin Ling's proposal, and then the two of them came to a western restaurant. This was originally an Italian restaurant, and it served steak and pasta. Jin Ling and Yan Minnan each ordered a steak.

Before the food was served, Jin Ling told Yan Minnan, "Jin Xin's mother used to be my father's aunt. After giving birth to Jin Xin, she suddenly disappeared. Jin Xin stayed in the Jin family, so she is my half-sister."

Yan Minnan's eyes widened when he heard this and he said, "Wait a minute, you said you two are half-siblings, are you sure you are not half-siblings from the same father?" Jin Ling also understood why Yan Minnan was so surprised. After all, his father didn't look like such an unreliable person.

Jin Ling didn't care about her father's face at all and said, "Yes, you heard it right. It's half-brothers, not half-sisters. Jin Xin is the child of her mother and another man, and her mother gave this child to my father."

Yan Minnan had not expected that in this rather old-fashioned era, he would hear such gossip, and the gossip was about his own father-in-law. Yan Minnan had never thought that the seemingly dignified father-in-law would be cheated by someone.

Jin Ling knew what Yan Minnan was thinking by looking at his expression and said, "Why, are you curious about why my father just admitted it?" Yan Minnan nodded and said that he wanted to know, he was really curious.

Jin Ling didn't find Yan Minnan and actually nodded. This is really the case. When men gossip, women have to step aside. Jin Ling directly refused. She should save some face for her old father. Now she has no face, but she can still keep some face.

Jin Ling said directly: "Are you sure you want to listen to gossip about your father-in-law." Only then did Yan Minnan remember that the person he was gossiping about seemed to be his father-in-law.

Yan Minnan immediately shook his head to indicate that he didn't want to know anymore. At this time, the food they ordered was served. They both stopped gossiping and started eating. After all, they walked a lot this morning, which was quite exhausting.

The two smelled such delicious steaks, and they felt that their stomachs were singing the empty city plan, so they picked up their knives and forks and started eating steaks. They were really hungry, and soon a large portion of steak was finished. When they were eating the fruit after the meal, an unexpected person came.

The person walked straight to Jin Ling and their table and said, "Hey, who is this?" When Jin Ling heard the voice, he put down the fruit in his hand and looked up.

Jin Ling looked at the person in front of him and said, "Jin Xin, long time no see, is there anything wrong?" When Yan Minnan heard the name Jin Xin, he also became interested. This must be the daughter mentioned in the gossip just now. He had to take a closer look at her to see what was so special about her.

Yan Minnan took a look and saw that the man was wearing Western clothes and had an air of worldly conduct. He was completely different from his wife. His wife was a fairy high above, while this man was just a servant on earth. There was no way they could be compared.

Jin Xin could never have imagined that she would meet Jin Ling here just because she wanted to go into this western restaurant to broaden her horizons!

In total, she and Jin Ling had not seen each other for two years. In the past two years, she had imagined countless times how miserable and downtrodden Jin Ling's life was, but reality slapped her hard in the face - how could this woman in front of her, wearing a beautiful cheongsam and with exquisite makeup, look downtrodden at all?

Looking at Jin Ling, Jin Xin's expression turned a little ugly, and she couldn't help but said, "Jin Ling, I didn't expect to meet you here..."

Jin Xin turned around and looked at the man sitting opposite Jin Ling. The man was tall, handsome, and had an outstanding temperament. His face was well-defined, with hard but soft lines. His deep eyes showed a hint of coldness and confidence, as if he could see through people's hearts. His lips were slightly raised under his high nose bridge, revealing an imperceptible smile. This kind of appearance reminded people of the male models or movie stars on magazine covers, but Jin Xin knew very well that this man was not an ordinary person. She couldn't help but look at him curiously, trying to find some clues from his appearance to understand who this person was.

Then Jin Xin remembered what her mother had told her, that Jin Ling was already a married woman. But what she saw now was Jin Ling eating out with another man, in such an ambiguous western restaurant. Jin Xin didn't think that the man sitting opposite Jin Ling was Jin Ling's husband, so she said something unpleasant: "Sister, I didn't expect that you would date another man here behind your brother-in-law's back!" Jin Xin sneered, looking at Jin Ling with a hint of disdain and ridicule.

Jin Xin's words confused both Jin Ling and Yan Minnan. Jin Ling looked at Yan Minnan, as if saying, "Look, you're an adulterer now." Yan Minnan seemed to understand the teasing in Jin Ling's eyes, and his eyes suddenly became much colder when he looked at Jin Xin.

Jin Xin originally wanted to remind the man in front of her that the woman in front of her was already married, but she was still going out with him. This was obviously a woman who was restless and had no self-respect. She hoped that in this way, the man would know the true face of Jin Ling and feel disgusted and resentful towards her. In this way, perhaps the man would take the initiative to leave Jin Ling, and she would have a chance to take the position.

Jin Xin had been staying at home to recover from her injuries and knew nothing about what was happening outside. She didn't even know who Jin Ling married. In her imagination, Jin Ling should marry an old man who was married for the second time. After all, this was in line with her image of Jin Ling. However, the man in front of her was completely different from what she imagined. He was handsome, elegant, and exuded a unique charm. So this kind of person must not be Jin Ling's husband.

Before Jin Ling could even say anything, Yan Minnan exploded and said, "Who are you? Why are you standing here? My wife only has two brothers and no sisters." Jin Xin couldn't believe what Yan Minnan said. How could he be Jin Ling's husband? Jin Xin exploded in front of the two of them, "Ahhh, impossible, this is impossible, how could he be your husband?"
