My sisters drove me away, and now they are crying and begging for my forgiveness?

After leaving the hospital, Lin An asked about Mr. Xiang's recent situation, but Xiang Dongqi's tone was somewhat helpless: "My father was injured because of Dongyue's matter. He fell ill after you left. He was just discharged from the hospital yesterday and is now recuperating at home."

Lin An expressed his understanding of Mr. Xiang's mentality of being angry and falling ill. It is difficult for anyone to accept that their own family members are killing each other.

Xiang Dongqi didn't want to talk about too serious topics. He was already very satisfied with the current situation. "Mr. Lin, why did you come to Beijing this time? Is there anything I can help you with? Mr. Lin, you are welcome. I will definitely help you if I can."

"I sent my sister to the crew to film."

Xiang Dongqi smiled and said, "Mr. Lin's sister is here, so I have to do my best to be a good host. Why don't I invite your sister and Miss Tan to have dinner together tonight?"

Lin An really treated Xiang Dongqi as his elder brother. No matter whether it was a token of his affection or a gift, Xiang Dongqi always gave him a sense of intimacy as if "we are one family and don't have different opinions", without the oppression of tit-for-tat.

So, he also said frankly: "I appreciate Brother Xiang's kindness. My sister is a bit socially anxious. She has recently started filming and her character is a bit neurotic from time to time. When the filming is finished, I will host it and we can all get together."

Xiang Dongqi smiled and didn't insist.

Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion.

It seems that all high-end places in Beijing are membership-based, and the Treasure Pavilion is no exception. One membership card can bring in up to five people. As soon as Lin An followed Xiang Dongqi into the inner venue, he saw the screen in the middle at a glance.

The screen is embroidered with double-sided dragons and phoenixes, combining a sense of mythology with a retro feel.

Xiang Yunqing looked at Lin An's concentration and explained, "This screen is not for sale. It was embroidered by a Suzhou embroidery master. The master is old and has been retired for many years."

"So, this screen is also the master's last work."

Lin An understood, and Xiang Yunqing pulled him aside: "This is the Suzhou embroidery area, there are also many good Suzhou embroidery, Mr. Lin can choose some for Sister Weiwei and Sister Qin."

Lin An took a quick look and, based on his understanding of the girls, selected three fans and some accessories.

Xiang Yunqing took him into the Hanfu area.

Lin An was not very interested in Hanfu. Seeing Xiang Yunqing's great interest, he turned his eyes to the wood carvings and clay sculptures nearby, which is also a kind of intangible cultural heritage.

It’s just not as famous as Suzhou embroidery and Hanfu.

Just as Lin An was about to walk over, he heard an arrogant male voice exploding in the quiet art area.

"What do you mean it's not for sale? I need this today. Go find your boss."

"Mr. Xiao, I'm really sorry, our boss is not in the store, and this Buddhist bead really can't be sold. Why don't you look at something else?"

"You can't sell it? If you can't sell it, why are you putting it out there? Tell me, how much is it? I have plenty of money."

Lin An walked over and looked through the crowd to see a young man with a feminine look standing in front of a string of Buddhist beads marked "Not for Sale".

The Buddhist beads are round and smooth, and you can tell at first glance that they are not ordinary items.

He didn't want to bother with anything else and was about to go take a look at other works, but just as he walked to a display of Buddhist beads of other colors, someone suddenly bumped into him.

"Feel sorry."

The person who hit him quickly apologized.

Lin An lowered his head and realized that the person he bumped into was an employee of the store. The boy looked young and seemed to be a college student who was working part-time to pay for his studies. After apologizing, he immediately rushed to Xiao Shao.

"Mr. Xiao, these Buddhist beads really cannot be sold. Please put them down."

The man called Xiao Shao ignored the clerk's earnest advice, picked up the Buddhist beads, played with them, and was about to put them on his hand.

The boy finally couldn't bear it anymore and reached out to grab it, but the moment his hand stretched out, he was stopped by the bodyguard beside Xiao Shao and pushed to the ground.

"Humph, who do you think you are? There is nothing I can't get that I want!"

Lin An frowned slightly. At this moment, Xiang Yunqing's voice came: "Mr. Lin, you are here. Huh, you scared me."

The girl's delicate face was full of relief, and she stuck out her tongue at Lin An: "I thought you were gone."

Lin An was about to answer.

A voice took the lead and said, "Beauty, you are so beautiful, how about making friends?"

Due to health reasons, Xiang Yunqing has never appeared in the so-called upper circles.

Only a few people have seen her and know her identity.

And obviously, this Mr. Xiao didn't know.

Xiang Yunqing looked at the man in front of him and rolled his eyes: "I don't know you, and I don't want to make friends with you."

Xiao Shao didn't care about that. He took a step forward and was about to put his arm around Xiang Yunqing's shoulders. "Beauty, this is not up to you. How about this? You can choose any of the things here, and I'll pay for them all. How about that as a token of our sincerity in getting to know each other?"

After saying that, the man glanced at Lin An smugly and said, "Knowing me is much better than that poor guy next to you."

Xiao Shao looked An up and down with disdain.

Everything Lin An wears is not from a so-called big brand, but just a niche brand that focuses on comfort and simplicity.

Xiang Yunqing was stunned for a moment when he heard Lin An being called a poor bastard. After he realized what was happening, he became furious and stomped hard on the man's shiny leather shoes: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

As he said that, he stood in front of Lin An and confronted the man: "Who are you to dare to talk to Mr. Lin like that?"

Xiang Yunqing was so angry that his smiling face turned red.

Xiao Shao didn't care, and showed a gangster smile with his crooked mouth: "Beauty, my last name is Xiao, and our Xiao family in Jing City and the Tong family are related by marriage."

He thought Xiang Yunqing wanted to find out his identity, so he introduced himself in a very eloquent and confident manner.

"If you follow me, you will enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future."

Xiang Yunqing was so angry that he was speechless. It was a waste of time to talk to such a person.

She turned and looked at Lin An: "Mr. Lin, let's go."

Lin An nodded, but before he could turn around, a bodyguard stopped them, just like the one who had stopped the clerk just now, with a ferocious look and brute force.

"What do you want to do?"

Xiang Yunqing glared at Xiao Shao.

"Beauty, no one has ever dared to humiliate me like this in public. Either you agree to be my girlfriend, or you can forget about leaving!"

Xiang Yunqing reacted for a moment. He didn't expect that there were such upper-class scoundrels in Beijing: "You are restricting my personal freedom. I can call the police to arrest you."

Ever since his uncle went to jail, Xiang Yunqing has had full trust in the police.

Xiao Shao was stunned when he heard this, and then became even more shameless: "I didn't restrict your freedom. Who saw me restricting your freedom?"

Is this clearly an attempt to use power to pressure others?

Lin An took Xiang Yunqing's hand and said indifferently: "Get lost."

Xiao Shaoyin was shocked by this word and snorted coldly: "Get lost? Who do you think you are? How dare you tell me to get lost?"

Lin An raised his eyes, a hint of coldness flashing across them.

At this moment, Xiang Dongqi's voice rang out from nearby: "Mr. Lin, Yunqing." When he saw the bodyguards standing in front of Lin An and Xiang Yunqing, his face changed drastically.

"who are you?"

Xiang Dongqi looked at Xiao Shao and glared at him fiercely.

After entering the Treasure Pavilion, Xiang Dongqi went to meet the owner of the Treasure Pavilion.

The boss is a good friend of Xiang Dongqi. He originally wanted to take Lin An with him, but was rejected by Lin An.

Xiang Yunqing pointed at Xiao Shao and complained with a puffy face: "Dad, this person didn't let me and Mr. Lin leave, and even teased me."

Xiang Dongqi narrowed his eyes, but when Xiao Shao heard Xiang Yunqing addressing him, he smiled even more playfully: "You must be my uncle, right? My name is Xiao Ting, the heir of the Xiao family."

"Xiao family?" Xiang Dongqi said in a cold voice, "I've never heard of it."

Xiao Shao lost face, narrowed his eyes, and explored with Xiang Dongqi: "You haven't heard of the Xiao family? Then you must have heard of the Tong family, right?"

Xiang Dongqi opened his eyes: "Are you related to the Tong family?"

"Humph, my sister is the daughter-in-law of the Tong family."

Xiao Shao's face was full of pride.

Xiang Dongqi seemed to be a little interested: "I remember that no one in the Tong family married a wife with the surname Xiao."
