The cannon fodder female supporting role in the misplaced life

Lin Xinyi quickly ran to her mother, grabbed the corner of her clothes, and explained coquettishly, "Oh, Mom, that's different! I haven't seen you pick me up from school in a long time, so I'm so happy to see you this time!"

Xu Yingying gently touched Lin Xinyi's head, her eyes full of tenderness and guilt, and said softly, "So that's how it is. It's all Mom's fault. I've been too busy with work recently and neglected you. But don't worry, baby, Mom will try to make more time to pick you up from school in the future."

Hearing her mother's promise, Lin Xinyi nodded excitedly and shouted, "Great! That's great!" But then, as if she suddenly remembered something, her face flushed and she quickly changed the subject, "Mom, you don't have to pick me up every time. Dad told me that Xinyi is old enough and can take care of herself. It's okay as long as you can come and see me when you have time. You don't have to pick me up every day after school."

After hearing Lin Xinyi's words, Xu Yingying also discovered that Lin Weiye had been doing a lot of things behind the scenes.

"We'll get the cake later and then go home," Xu Yingying said to the person next to her with a smile on her face. Her bright eyes gleamed with anticipation, as if she could already imagine the warm scene at home.

"Oh yeah! I can finally eat cake!" Lin Xinyi, who was standing nearby, jumped up excitedly, waving her hands non-stop, with a bright smile on her face. She looked so happy, like a bird that had just been freed, eager to spread its wings and fly high.

After a while, Xu Yingying came out carefully holding an exquisite cake box. Lin Xinyi followed closely behind her, her eyes never leaving the cake box, and she kept exclaiming "Wow" from time to time.

In this way, the two of them walked towards home, chatting and laughing. Along the way, the sunlight shone on them, casting two long shadows, appearing particularly harmonious and beautiful.

When Xu Yingying and Lin Xinyi finally arrived home, they found Mr. Lin sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking at the door with a kind look. Obviously, he had been waiting here for a long time.

"Grandpa, you haven't come to see me for a long time!" As soon as Lin Xinyi saw Grandpa Lin, she ran over like a gust of wind and threw herself into his arms.

"Haha, my little little Yi, you are getting cuter and cuter!" Grandpa Lin smiled and gently stroked Lin Xinyi's hair, his eyes full of doting.

"Grandpa, look, this is the cake we bought! It's so beautiful!" Lin Xinyi broke free from Grandpa Lin's arms, turned around, pulled him to the table, pointed at the cake box on the table and introduced it happily.

"Well, not bad, not bad. It looks delicious." Old Master Lin nodded and said with satisfaction. Then, he looked up at Xu Yingying and asked with concern: "Yingying, what have you been busy with recently? It's been a long time since you brought Xinyi to the old house?"

"Grandpa, this is the situation! Recently, my good friend and I have opened a small clothing store in Bicuiyuan. Since it has just been opened, many things have not been dealt with properly, and there are still a lot of miscellaneous tasks waiting for us to do in the store. Therefore, I really can't spare the time to bring Xinyi back to the old house to visit you at this time." As Xu Yingying spoke, she lowered her head a little embarrassedly, and her voice became smaller and smaller.

Hearing his granddaughter's words, Grandpa Lin frowned slightly and asked with a hint of reproach, "Yingying, when did you open this shop? How come you didn't even tell me beforehand about such a big thing? Even though I'm old, I'm still strong and will definitely do my best to help you wherever I can! And I can even come over in person to support you and make your shop more prosperous, right? Besides, Xinyi has started kindergarten now, and I'm actually very happy that you can go out to work again."

Xu Yingying quickly raised her head, looked at her grandfather and explained, "Grandpa, actually this store was officially opened for business only last month. But so far there are really no outstanding results to show for you. I was afraid that you would be disappointed after I told you, so I didn't tell you about it for the time being..." When she said this, she couldn't help but reveal a trace of guilt on her face.

Old Master Lin waved his hand gently, the movement as gentle as a breeze, and a kind smile hung on his face. He said to Xu Yingying in a calm tone, "Silly child, don't worry too much about this. No matter what the final result is, this is the result of your hard work and sweat! Someday, when Grandpa has some free time, I will definitely come to your store in person to take a good look around and take a closer look."

At this moment, Lin Weiye strode into the house. As soon as he entered, he heard the conversation between his grandfather and Xu Yingying, so he asked curiously, "Grandpa, what are you going to see?"

When Mr. Lin saw his grandson coming back, his kind face suddenly turned stern. He scolded him angrily, "You little bastard! Xinyi's birthday is coming home so late! Is that even right?"

Lin Weiye quickly lowered his head and explained with a guilty look on his face, "Grandpa, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault. I was just about to get off work when I suddenly encountered something that needed to be dealt with, so I was delayed."

After hearing this, Mr. Lin's expression softened a little, but he still said in a bad mood, "Humph, what's the point of just apologizing to me? You should apologize to Xinyi. Today is our Xinyi's birthday!"

Lin Xinyi found it a little strange to hear her great-grandfather repeatedly asking her father to apologize to her. She tilted her head and asked, "Great-grandfather, why does my father want to apologize to me?"

Mr. Lin explained to Lin Xinyi, "As a father, shouldn't I apologize to you for being late for your birthday?"

Lin Weiye hadn't expected the old man to be so disrespectful in front of his daughter, so he said to Lin Xinyi, "Xinyi, it's Daddy's fault. Did I keep you waiting for a long time?"

Lin Xinyi shook her head and said, "Xinyi just came back too. Dad, you came back late because of something. Xinyi is not angry."

Lin Weiye touched his daughter's head and said, "Our sweetheart Xinyi loves her father the most."
