When Nian Xin heard that her room was about to be lost, she suddenly became excited. She didn't care about her fear of her sister Nian Lin and stood out from behind her mother Lin Meng.
"I don't agree. That's my room. Why should I give it to you as soon as you come back? You're not the type to bully others!"
She felt extremely wronged, and she even started to cry as she spoke, which broke Lin Meng's heart as a mother into pieces.
"Linlin, I'm wrong as a mother, but don't worry. Tomorrow, oh no, tonight, tonight I'll clean up your room. Your sister...your sister is used to living there, can you..."
She said with embarrassment that she couldn't bear to see her daughter, whom she had carried for ten months, suffer.
"Oh? So they can be cleaned up. Those things don't have to be left there."
There was a smile on her face, and no matter how you looked at it, you would think she was mocking others, mocking their own arrogance.
"But I've been traveling for several days and I'm very tired now. I don't have time to wait for you to pack..."
"No, no, you can stay in your sister's room tonight. Once I'm done packing, it won't be too late to move back tomorrow."
Lin Meng responded quickly, and even Nian Xin smiled. That was great, her room was saved.
Seeing them like this, Nian Lin changed the subject: "I remember your sister's room used to be mine. Aunt Lin said it was for your sister to use temporarily. How come it's yours now?"
After they finished speaking, their faces froze at the same time. That room had indeed once belonged to Nian Lin, and everything in the Nian family had belonged to Nian Lin.
But later, Nian Yuping had a falling out with his ex-father-in-law's family, and his ex-father-in-law rarely returned to Beijing, so Nian Lin was naturally unwelcome in front of Nian Yuping.
Nian Lin has been enduring this and has become a invisible person in the Nian family. Who would have thought that now that her backer has returned, she would become more confident and actually say these words.
But Lin Meng couldn't refute it, so she could only smile awkwardly.
Nian Lin didn't intend to let her go directly, and continued: "Aunt Lin, if I remember correctly, this house seems to be my mother's dowry. Now she is gone, so logically this house should be mine. If I don't want to, let alone a room, even if it is the whole house, then..."
She only said half of the words, but the rest was obvious. As long as she was unhappy, she could take back not only this room, but all the rooms.
"Don't be so unreasonable. I'm telling you, this house belongs to Dad. What does it have to do with you? Stop being here..."
"Xinxin, shut up!"
Lin Meng stopped Nian Xin from saying the rest of the words. Her mind was working quickly. Her years of experience told her that the most important thing to do now was to stabilize Nian Lin, so she quickly changed the subject.
"We originally agreed that this room was for temporary living. Now, Linlin, it's only natural for you to move back in. Go and get some rest. You've worked hard on this journey."
She held Nian Xin back, preventing her naive and willful daughter from saying anything unpleasant, which would make the situation even more difficult to handle.
Who made that damn old man still in Beijing? As long as that damn old man is gone, Nian Lin will be at their mercy. Wait a few years, and when that damn old man passes away, Nian Lin, this little girl, will have no one to rely on...
Even now, when she sees the various changes in Nian Lin, she still thinks that Nian Lin has the confidence because he has the support of his grandfather, and she has never thought that this confidence is earned by Nian Lin himself.
She thought so, but Nian Lin didn't care about her thoughts. When she walked past Nian Xin, she sneered: "My dear sister, as your elder sister, I will treat you well. Since it makes sense, why should I forgive you? And this house, if I don't want to, you really have to move out from here, no negotiation at all~"
The deliberately prolonged ending tone gave off a feeling of a villain having achieved success. Nian Xin was so angry that his teeth were chattering.
When she heard the door close, she started to rage at Lin Meng in a spoiled tone: "Mom, look at her, she doesn't respect you at all, she doesn't treat me like her own sister at all, and this is my home, my room, what right does she have to occupy it! I'm going to tell Dad and let him teach her a lesson!"
Li Meng was so angry that she stamped her feet. She tried to comfort her precious daughter: "Her good days won't last much longer. What's wrong with letting her live in the room? Your father has been busy lately. Don't disturb him and make him upset."
"By the way, how was your party today? Let's sleep together today, mother and daughter. Tell me about it."
She changed the subject and diverted Nian Xin's attention to other things.
My eyes inadvertently swept over the house where I had lived for many years.
She was born in the countryside and was from another place. Her dowry was just a towel and a washbasin. How could she afford a house?
When that short-lived man passed away, the house was held hostage by the dead old man and given to Nianlin. Strictly speaking, the house really belongs to Nianlin, and she can do whatever she wants with it.
However, in recent years, the little girl Nian Lin has acted so aloof and submissive that they have forgotten about this matter. But it doesn't matter, it's not too late to bring it up now.
I still have to find a way to get this house, and I also have to buy some houses for my two children, especially my daughter, so I have to prepare more dowry.
Lin Meng thought so, but now is not the time. Nian Yuping is too sensitive now. She has to wait and talk about this matter after the storm has passed.
Lin Meng had figured all these things out clearly in his mind, and they all believed from the bottom of their hearts that the Jiang family would definitely win in this struggle.
How could we not win? A crucial person on the other side was suspended for investigation a few days ago, while the Jiang family is still doing fine.
Now, even people like Nian Yuping who follow the Jiang family have benefited from this, and many people are rushing to curry favor with them.
It was because of these reasons that she would tolerate Nian Lin again and again in order to stabilize the old man.
......
Tan Yuan felt that she had been waiting for a long time, so long that she almost thought Linlin didn't understand what she meant, or had come to the wrong place.
She even wanted to go to the Nian family in person and ask what was going on.
Of course, impulse is the devil. The more it is a time like this, the more she cannot be impulsive. All she can do is wait.
Fortunately, hard work pays off. On the third day, Tan Yuan finally met the person she was waiting for in the guesthouse.
"Linlin, you're finally here!"
He is thinner and darker than when he was in Huaiyin Brigade, but he is in good spirits.
