“Which Lin Family? The medical family?” Ye Qian asked as she arranged some flowers.
I nodded. “Yes.”
“What do you want to know?” Ye Qian wasn’t surprised at all. She didn’t even raise her eyelids.
“Hmm. What kind of person is Lin Tang?” I asked about the head of the Lin Family.
Ye Qian glanced at me. “Jing Ni should be able to find out what kindergarten Lin Tang’s grandson attended with her system.”
I rubbed my nose. “You’re not wrong. Jing Ni said she could tell me which kindergarten Miss Lin Nan attended.”
Ye Qian smiled. “Oh. Do you want to know about Lin Nan?”
I didn’t say anything. I pulled on the petals of the rose that she didn’t want.
Ye Qian’s hands didn’t stop moving. “Lin Nan is the most unfathomable woman I’ve ever met.”
My hand trembled, and one of the petals broke. What kind of woman would Lin Nan must be if she was unfathomable to Ye Qian?
“Lin Nan was born to be outstanding. The Lin family is famed for their educational method. Lin Nan is one of the very few children who are outstanding in every aspect. Therefore, even in the Lin family, which is very traditional, she stands out among her peers. The elders and cousins are all willing to bring her along. She can often provide constructive suggestions.
“The most important thing is that this lady has a good temperament. She is gentle and generous. She is well-read and reasonable. She is virtuous. Almost anything that can be used to describe a woman’s good character can be used on her.” Ye Qian scrutinized the flowers that she had arranged.
This vase of flowers is arranged in a neat manner. It is exceptionally beautiful. I can not help but think of Lin Nan’s extraordinary face.
“Why haven’t I heard of her before?” I asked somewhat unwillingly.
Ye Qian tidied up the flowers on the table. “That’s a good question. The Lin family has always kept a low profile. The big families can fight until the sky falls, but the Lin Family won’t get involved. They’ve practically closed up their doors and lived in their own world.
“But recently, they’ve decided to become high profile. Lin Nan and her siblings have even actively participated in the banquets of the big families. This is very abnormal. It got many people talking. Can you tell why they are doing this?” Ye Qian asked me.
“How would I know?” I muttered.
Ye Qian patiently explained, “Nanxing, what would you think if I told you that the Lin Family’s abnormality started just around the time the news of Phoenix Blood appeared on the darknet.”
I was stunned as I looked at Ye Qian.
Ye Qian’s smile disappeared.
I asked uncertainly, “Is the Lin family also after the Phoenix Blood?”
Ye Qian nodded slowly. “Nanxing, people don’t do things without benefits. This principle is not that hard to understand.”
I wanted to say something but hesitated.
Ye Qian looked at me. “It’s our responsibility to protect you, but you must protect yourself too. I can understand why you’ve asked about Lin Nan. Based on Lin Nan’s usual behavior, I’m afraid her goal isn’t as simple as obtaining Jing Tian. Nanxing, do you understand what I mean?”
I didn’t want to understand.
But I knew that Ye Qian’s words were irrefutable.
I felt a little depressed.
Ye Qian hugged the vase in her arms and reached out to brush my hair. “It’s alright. You’re our little princess. The princess will act like a princess. Don’t make us lose face.”
I lowered my eyes. “But this time, it’s different from before.”
Ye Qian smiled and hugged me. “Nanxing, you’ve really grown up.”
