CHAPTER 111: CHAPTER 111: BROTHER AND SISTER-IN-LAW QUARRELING

Shui Yuanyu chuckled, "Your courage is different now. The first time I met you, I remember you were vigilant to everyone and quite nervous and scared..."

Lin Xiaoyan thought for a moment, indeed, she also felt a bit different.

"Probably because of this experience. Realizing after encountering terrifying ghosts that this world is much lovelier than ghosts!"

Shui Yuanyu didn’t expect to hear this answer. He thought for a moment, although he hadn’t seen ghosts, he understood something from the words of those in the Xuan Sect.

Of course, he hadn’t actually seen a ghost!

He pondered that if he had seen a ghost with his own eyes, perhaps his mindset would also change.

After returning to Sea City, Lin Xiaoyan fell asleep at home for an entire day!!!

After resting for a day, Lin Xiaoyan finally felt her strength returning.

Feeling hungry as soon as she regained her strength, she decided to go to the supermarket downstairs to buy some food.

Just after buying things and preparing to go home to cook, Lin Xiaoyan saw He Qi’an.

"Captain He?"

He Qi’an was quite surprised to see Lin Xiaoyan, "You’re back?"

"Yeah, I just got back last night and slept all day today. Just came down to buy some food." Seeing a familiar face, Lin Xiaoyan finally felt a bit settled.

She felt that the past month was like a dream!

"Congratulations, I heard you got first place." He Qi’an congratulated her with a smile.

Lin Xiaoyan also showed a full smile, "Yeah, everyone was amazing, I was just tagging along and benefitting from their achievements."

Thinking about the hot money in her account, Lin Xiaoyan felt full of energy.

Such an amount of money felt like a dream. Three months ago, she didn’t dare to imagine if she could ever earn a million in her lifetime!

He Qi’an looked at Lin Xiaoyan’s smile, raising his eyebrows in surprise, "You... seem different."

Lin Xiaoyan glanced at He Qi’an, wondering if her change was really so obvious. This was the second person to say so.

"You’ve become more confident, it’s nice."

"Thank you."

After saying goodbye to He Qi’an, Lin Xiaoyan quickly returned home to cook and eat. After the meal, she looked at the barrage of messages on her phone and replied to them one by one.

She saw messages from Gao Qing and her parents, stating the house had been bought and she just needed to sign whenever she returned home.

Then she saw messages from her parents about her brother and sister-in-law seemingly having a fight, with her sister-in-law staying at her parents’ home for some time...

Seeing this message, Lin Xiaoyan frowned. Weren’t her brother and sister-in-law always on good terms?

She thought about it and decided to call her mother via video chat.

Soon, her mother answered the video call.

"Yanyan, you’re back?" Lin Mu looked at her daughter with surprise.

"Yeah, just got back last night, I was exhausted and slept all day today. I just saw your message, what’s going on with my brother and sister-in-law?"

Lin Xiaoyan asked while eating hotpot.

Talking about her son and daughter-in-law, Lin Mu’s face immediately turned somber.

"Sigh, those two, your dad and I really don’t want to get involved!"

"Isn’t your sister-in-law pregnant? She said work was too tiring and quit her job. We didn’t say anything when we found out. I directly transferred five thousand for her to rest well at home and nurture the baby."

"I usually go cook for her, buying good stuff for her. But suddenly, the two had a fight; no idea why."

"I found out when your sister-in-law was already at home. Asked your brother, he wouldn’t say anything."

"Your dad and I went to pick up your sister-in-law, but she avoided meeting us. I asked her, she just said to ask your brother. See how this mess has troubled your dad and me."

Lin Mu spoke and was still quite distressed.

Lin Xiaoyan frowned, "Has my brother really not said why they’re fighting?"

"No! Your dad went to him to ask what caused the fight..."

"By the way, your cousin is getting married..."

"Cousin! When did this happen? I didn’t know at all." Lin Xiaoyan was quite surprised.

"He’s been seeing someone. Your aunt didn’t agree, but your cousin insists on marrying her. Said if he couldn’t be with that girl, he’d commit suicide!"

Lin Xiaoyan was amazed, "Oh wow, didn’t expect cousin to like that girl so much."

"Yeah, now your aunt can’t oppose, the girl is pregnant!"

"Oh, that was quick!" Hearing her mom mention the girl’s pregnancy, Lin Xiaoyan instinctively felt her mom was about to direct the conversation towards her.

Lin Xiaoyan quickly said, "Anyway, let me know what my dad finds out about the fight with my brother... I..."

"Don’t hang up!"

Lin Mu immediately stopped her daughter, "You’ve graduated, you should look for a partner. We didn’t let you date while studying, worried it would affect your education. Now you are graduated and can find someone."

"Look, your cousin is about to get married, and they already have a kid..."

Lin Xiaoyan sighed, as she picked up a piece of lotus root that suddenly tasted bland.

"Bang!"

Lin Mu’s nagging suddenly stopped.

"What’s wrong? Learned anything?"

Lin Xiaoyan looked at her phone, guessing it was her dad returning.

"Got the reason, this brat! He made me so angry I gave him a beating!"

Lin Fu’s annoyed voice sounded.

Hearing her dad’s words, Lin Xiaoyan’s heart sank. If he beat her brother, it seemed serious.

Lin Xiaoyan speculated in her mind, could it be her brother had an affair?

"What on earth happened?" Lin Mu asked urgently.

"This brat learned from others online and got scammed into gambling thirty thousand plus! Debt collection calls went to Lanlan, Lanlan found out and angrily went back to her parents’..."

Hearing her father’s words, Lin Xiaoyan actually breathed a sigh of relief. Her brother didn’t have an affair, and the debt could be solved; she had money!

The old Lin Xiaoyan would have worriedly agonized alongside her parents.

Now, she could pay off her brother’s debt!

"Dad, Mom, don’t be angry."

Lin Xiaoyan spoke up to comfort them.

Lin Fu paused hearing his daughter’s voice, "Why is Yanyan..."

Lin Mu then realized, "I’ve been chatting with our daughter."

Lin Fu’s face appeared on the phone screen, looking gloomy but forcing a smile for his daughter. "Yanyan returned from Beijing? How are you? Tired?"

"I’m okay, not tired."

"Dad, I’ll transfer money to you. Have my brother repay the debt and then bring my sister-in-law back home. She’s pregnant, let’s not upset her."

Lin Xiaoyan seriously said looking at her dad.

Hearing his daughter’s words, Lin Fu directly refused, "No money for him! He’ll fix this mess himself!"

"Dad, surely you don’t want to see my brother and sister-in-law divorce..."

In the end, with Lin Xiaoyan’s persuasion, Lin Fu and Lin Mu agreed for her to transfer money to clear their son’s debt.

However, they decided that their son should write an IOU to his daughter, that the money wasn’t a gift but a loan from her!
