Beijing-Hong Kong Affair

Chapter 55: Doubts about Life
Mr. Lin obviously didn't expect the little girl to be interested in his Buddhist beads. He said in a friendly manner, "This was given to me by my friend in Hong Kong. Is this Buddhist bead made of agarwood? I don't quite understand it, but I heard it can calm the mind."

There is an emerald green bead in the middle of the antique Buddhist bracelet, with a red rope wrapped around the bead.

Because of this clashing color combination, Lin Xian was ridiculed when she was a child.

At that moment, Lin Xian's heart was filled with turmoil.

After many years, she still remembered that she went to the temple to ask the master, who said that her agarwood should be the best among all agarwoods, called Kynam.

At that time, she was a little confused. How could she, an orphan abandoned in an orphanage, wear such an expensive Buddhist bead bracelet?

Later, another master said that hers was just ordinary wood, nothing special, and the beads were extremely fake.

Therefore, she just regarded this Buddhist rosary as a relic of her biological mother.

Who would have known that after returning to Chen's house, Qiongying took it away from her on the grounds that students were not allowed to wear jewelry.

If this string of Buddhist beads came from Hong Kong City, then would she have a chance to find her biological parents?

Lin Xian looked serious, with a frown on her face.

She had been in an orphanage since she was a baby. The caregiver said that they were all unwanted, and she had never had any questions about her background.

Elder Lin was somewhat surprised by her reaction. "What's wrong, little girl? Is there something wrong with the beads?"

Lin Xian came back to her senses. "Mr. Lin, I have an unwelcome request. Could you please tell me where your friend is in Hong Kong now?"

"You want to see him?"

Old Lin's eyes were sharp. Lin Xian lowered her head, knowing that she was being too demanding.

"It's not that I don't want to help you, but this friend is not very willing to meet strangers at the moment."

"Oh, I see."

Elder Lin could tell at a glance that the little girl was worried and tried to liven up the atmosphere, "Look, we both have the last name Lin, what a coincidence."

Lin Xian smiled reluctantly, "It's my blessing to have the same last name as Mr. Lin."

"Don't say that. You young people nowadays always like to flatter the elderly. We are friends since we met. Let me offer you a cup of tea instead of wine."

Just as Lin Xian raised the teacup, a voice came from the entrance.

"Grandpa, why didn't you tell me that you were hosting a banquet for my savior today? I only found out after I asked Mom."

Lin Xian's face changed. Wasn't this voice Qiao Zijin's?

She calls Mr. Lin grandpa?

So, she is the illegitimate daughter who was brought back?
Lin Xian took a big gulp of water to suppress the shock in her heart.

Qiao Zijin had already walked behind her.

"I heard about this and immediately bought a gift for this lifesaver."

Elder Lin looked a little surprised, and said in a cold tone: "Didn't I tell you not to come here if you have nothing to do?"

Qiao Zijin was not discouraged by what Mr. Lin said. She sat down next to Lin Xian and said, "Miss, this is the bag I bought for you. Do you like it?"

Elder Lin placed the teacup heavily on the table and said, "I am having a meal with someone. Where are your manners?"

Lin Xian turned around and glanced at Qiao Zijin.

Her smiling face immediately fell.

"Why is it you? Why are you here?!"

Qiao Zijin stood up in panic, pacing back and forth, muttering, "Impossible, impossible."

Elder Lin frowned, "Old Li, take her away."

Old Li is the driver who just picked up Lin Xian.

Qiao Zijin glared at Lin Xian fiercely, "Don't think you can fly to the sky just because you saved grandpa once. You are a wild chicken and will never become a phoenix!"

Lin Xian's lips curved slightly, "I also want to say this to you."

As for Qiao Zijin's identity, after what just happened, she guessed a little bit.

But the family affairs of the rich and powerful would naturally not be made public. But if her identity was fake, why was she taken back by the Lin family?

Is there some unspeakable secret behind this?

Qiao Zijin was sent out, and Elder Lin apologized, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself in front of you. The younger generation in my family doesn't know the rules."

"Miss Qiao and I are schoolmates. This is the first time I know that she has such a prominent background. I can't tell."

Elder Lin snorted coldly, "That little girl has high aspirations. It's good enough that she doesn't cause me any trouble. I have repeatedly ordered these juniors not to tell others about their relationship with me."

Lin Xian nodded. As someone in this position, one should avoid suspicion.

After lunch, Lin Xian gave some instructions to Mr. Lin’s personal doctor, who praised her highly.

"Ms. Lin's way of handling things doesn't seem like that of a student. What subjects do you plan to choose in the future?"

"I plan to major in surgery."

"If you have the ambition, you can come to our hospital for internship if you have the chance in the future."

"it is good."

The other party asked for Lin Xian's contact information, and only then did Lin Xian realize that this was a professor at Union Hospital.

"I made a fool of myself in front of the professor."

"Wherever there is, communicate with each other."

"Then I won't bother you today. Please take care of yourself, Mr. Lin."

"Next time we have a chance, let's have dinner together again."

A guest came to Mr. Lin's place unexpectedly. When Mr. Li came in to inform him, Lin Xian just stood up and prepared to say goodbye.

Who knew that when I turned around, I saw Jiang Yunian.

He was tall and slender, and had already changed into formal clothes, with a distinguished temperament. "Mr. Lin, this is the tea I brought for you."

Lin Xian walked over and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Jiang Yunian burst out laughing, "I didn't expect that the banquet you were going to attend today was with Mr. Lin."

Mr. Lin saw the interaction between the two young men but did not point it out.

"Dr. Jiang, right? My friend just called me and told me that you have something to ask. Since we all know each other, please sit down and have some tea and talk slowly."

Jiang Yunian just went to meet a lawyer friend.

Upon learning that Qiao Zijin had defamed Lin Xian, the entire team was warned by the other party.

He found out that Qiao Zijin had been keeping a low profile since being taken back to the Lin family.

Except this time, she was like crazy, sniping Lin Xian madly without any mercy.

There is a sense of being used as a gun.

Jiang Yunian had to use his father's connections to meet the big man behind Qiao Zijin's family, but he didn't expect Lin Xian to be there too.

"Ah Xian, I have something important to discuss with Mr. Lin. Could you please wait for me outside for a while?"

The tea room is located next to the garden, and you can see the well-maintained garden scenery without feeling cramped.

"This matter is related to Lin Xian, let the little girl listen together."

Jiang Yunian's expression did not change. It turned out that everything was under the control of Mr. Lin.

"In that case, Mr. Lin, I will speak directly to the point. I hope you won't blame me."

Mr. Lin fiddled with the tea set on the tea table and said slowly, "Have some tea first."

Lin Xian reached under the table and poked Jiang Yunian's thigh, and asked him with her mouth: "What's my matter?"

Jiang Yunian gently held her hand and shook his head.

After drinking the tea in the cup, Jiang Yunian asked directly: "If Mr. Lin's family members knowingly break the law, will Mr. Lin protect them?"
