Super Rich: It all started when I met a young woman in a sleeper car.
Chapter 15 Forced Smile
But Chen Xun knew that even if Yang Xiaotao explained things clearly, there was still Lin Xinyue to consider.
Of the three, Lin Xinyue's relationship with him was the most complicated, after all, they had kissed all night.
When the two walked out of the kitchen, Lin Xinyue and the others all looked over.
Yang Xiaotao, who had initially given Chen Xun a cold shoulder, became cheerful again and skipped and hopped to the dining table.
"Big brother and Xiaotao, what are you talking about in the kitchen? Why are you taking so long to serve the rice?"
Lin Xinyue asked suspiciously.
"It's nothing, I just gave Xiaotao some advice and taught her some life philosophies."
Yang Xiaotao was about to reply, but Chen Xun beat her to it.
Hearing life philosophies being uttered, Yang Xiaotao rolled her eyes at Chen Xun.
After listening to what Chen Xun said, Lin Xinyue did not continue speaking.
The group ate their meal in silence.
The old man, who had seen through everything, shook his head slightly, looked at his granddaughter, and felt a pang of heartache in his eyes.
"Little Xun, eat more."
The old man smiled at Chen Xun and said.
"Mmm, Grandma's food is delicious, I really like it."
Chen Xun shoveled rice into his bowl, responding indistinctly.
"By the way, Xiao Xun, how many people are in your family, and what do you do for a living?"
The old man asked.
"grandmother!"
When Lin Xinyue saw her grandmother asking questions like she was checking her household registration, she immediately used her charm to stop her.
The old man glared at Lin Xinyue, as if to say, "This old woman is helping you out!"
"Grandma, I'm an only child. It's just my parents at home."
"And I own a shop."
Chen Xun responded.
He couldn't very well say he was unemployed, could he? Opening a shop wasn't wrong either, since he was busy preparing for the trendy instant noodles business in the next few days.
"Yeah, I'm not getting any younger, it's time to find someone."
The old man then changed the subject again.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xun's heart skipped a beat; this old lady was no ordinary person.
"I think my heart..."
"Grandma, you don't need to worry about that."
Lin Xinyue quickly pulled the old woman away, interrupting her to continue speaking.
Seeing his granddaughter interrupt him time and time again, the old man sighed in exasperation and decided to give up.
The group remained silent until they finished eating all the food on the table.
Li Qian offered to wash the dishes, and Yang Xiaotao happily followed, while the old man went to do other things.
Lin Xinyue and Chen Xun were left behind.
The two stared at each other, wide-eyed.
Chen Xun felt like he was sitting on pins and needles; he thought of getting up but immediately sat back down.
"Big brother, what's wrong?"
Lin Xinyue said with a smile, seeing that Chen Xun didn't know whether to sit or stand.
Chen Xun looked at Lin Xinyue, who was smiling, and wondered why there was a hint of forced smile on her face.
"Did you see anything before we ate?"
"I can explain."
After some internal struggle, Chen Xun finally mustered the courage to speak.
But Lin Xinyue shook her head and said casually, "You don't need to explain, big brother. I understand, and I don't care."
"Besides, you don't need to explain to me at all."
Chen Xun was about to repeat all the things he had said about Yang Xiaotao to Lin Xinyue, but now she wouldn't listen at all.
He didn't know whether Lin Xinyue was faking it or genuinely didn't care.
"it is good."
Chen Xun sighed.
"Hmm."
Lin Xinyue smiled deliberately as she turned and left, though her body was trembling slightly.
Feeling troubled, Chen Xun went outside and gazed at the distant horizon.
[Target: Ruby Lin]
[Detected a decrease of 20 points in target's favorability]
Lin Xinyue's current favorability rating: 70
Just then, the system's voice suddenly appeared.
This is the first time, and it's not because of a cashback offer.
"Wow, aren't you a cashback system?"
Chen Xun was somewhat surprised.
After he calmed down, he realized that Lin Xinyue's favorability towards him had actually dropped by a full 20 points!
Chen Xun wanted to go to Lin Xinyue and explain again, but in the end he hesitated and gave up the idea.
Let's just go with the flow, that's all.
Chen Xun knew that if he did that, it might provoke Lin Xinyue's dislike.
And so, time passed little by little.
Chen Xun and his group were also preparing to leave.
"Grandma, please take good care of yourself at home."
Lin Xinyue hugged the old man tightly, and secretly slipped five hundred yuan into the old man's pocket.
Chen Xun naturally noticed this scene, and a smile appeared on his face.
From the moment they met on the train, Chen Xun knew that Lin Xinyue was a filial and good girl.
Chen Xun had thought about giving some money to the old man, but he immediately rejected the idea.
He knew that Lin Xinyue was actually very resistant to these things. She probably kept a record of every penny Chen Xun spent on her, and would immediately pay Chen Xun back when she had the money.
So he didn't want to add any more burden to Lin Xinyue's mind.
At worst, we can accompany her to visit the elderly more often and buy her more food, clothing, and other necessities.
It's not that you can only give money.
This time, the group had no belongings to carry, making the mountain path back exceptionally easy.
"By the way, Xinyue, where are your parents?"
Chen Xun asked Lin Xinyue, who was leading the way.
Lin Xinyue paused for a moment upon hearing this.
Yang Xiaotao glared at Chen Xun, and even Li Qian gave him a look.
Chen Xun realized he might have asked the wrong question.
Lin Xinyue, who was at the front, said, "I was raised by my grandmother when I was very young. My father died when I was very young, and my mother remarried."
"My mother hasn't come back to see me since she remarried. She must have forgotten about me, her daughter."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xun's heart skipped a beat, and he felt an urge to slap himself.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know that."
Chen Xun said apologetically.
"It's okay, big brother. I have Grandma, you, Li Qian, and Xiao Tao, that's enough."
Lin Xinyue's carefree voice came over.
Chen Xun remained silent.
When the group finally emerged from the mountain path, Chen Xun checked his phone.
Then he said, "You probably can't get a taxi here, it's too remote."
Lin Xinyue nodded. Last time, she had to walk more than 10 minutes longer before a car accepted her order.
"Ugh! We still have to walk! I'm so tired!"
Yang Xiaotao pouted and said dejectedly.
"Exercise more is good for your health. Look at you, eating so much without digesting it properly. You'll gain weight later."
Chen Xun jokingly teased Yang Xiaotao.
To everyone's surprise, Yang Xiaotao wasn't buying it at all. She pouted and said, "If it's better to be exhausted or to get fat, then I'd rather be fat."
"Okay, we can get a taxi after walking a little further."
Lin Xinyue waved and walked straight ahead, and Li Qian followed her.
Chen Xun gave Yang Xiaotao a look, and then followed her.
"Hey, wait for me!"
Yang Xiaotao had no choice but to jog and chase after him.
