The door suddenly opened at this moment, and Jiang Xinrou was so close that she almost fell to the ground.
Just as Jiang Xinrou was about to speak, Lin Xiuyan said coldly: "Zhou Chenyang gave you a hairpin."
"Tell me, do you like him?"
She turned her body slightly and glanced back, but did not see Ye Junfei.
That guy must have been hiding. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he didn't want to show up in front of everyone in the Lin Mansion just yet.
Jiang Xinrou's pupils shrank, how could this idiot Lin Xiuyan actually find out about this?
The panic in her heart only passed for a moment, and she soon calmed down.
She felt that she understood the real reason why Lin Xiuyan was acting abnormally today.
She looked aggrieved and said: "Cousin, the city lord gave me the hairpin just because we have a good relationship. He wants to get information about you from me and want to know more about you."
"The city lord is sincere to my sister, and I have nothing but respect for the city lord. It hurts my heart so much that my sister thinks of us like this!"
Lin Xiuyan looked at Jiang Xinrou's aggrieved face and sincere eyes, feeling that it was not unfair to fall on Jiang Xinrou and Zhou Chenyang in her previous life.
Both of them are masters of acting.
Even the excuses they gave when they were exposed were exactly the same!
If they are so good at playing, then she will play with them!
She looked at Jiang Xinrou with doubt on her face and asked, "Is it true?"
Jiang Xinrou said very sincerely: "Of course it is true. My cousin and I grew up together. We are not biological sisters, but better than biological sisters. How could I lie to you?"
Lin Xiuyan sneered in her heart, had Jiang Xinrou deceived her enough over the years?
Jiang Xinrou saw that her face was a little relaxed, and she kept up her efforts: "Even if my cousin doesn't believe in me, she should believe in the Lord of the City."
Lin Xiuyan seemed to believe her words, she flattened her lips and said aggrievedly: "So that's it, you should have told me earlier!"
"No matter what he gives you in the future, you have to tell me and don't cause any misunderstanding like this time again."
She reached out and touched Jiang Xinrou's face and said, "Does it still hurt?"
Jiang Xinrou knew that Lin Xiuyan was asking about the slap she received during today's meeting: "It doesn't hurt anymore."
"It's just that cousin, if you have anything to do in the future, just ask me directly, and don't make any more groundless speculations and misunderstandings."
"In my heart, my cousin is the most important person in the world."
Lin Xiuyan looked at her and said, "My cousin is my relative, Brother Yang is my fiancé, and you are both my most important people."
"If you seduce him behind my back, I will scratch your face and make your life worse than death!"
Jiang Xinrou felt a sudden change in her heart when she saw the coldness in her eyes.
She pretended to be angry: "What kind of relationship my cousin and I have, no matter what happens, I will never do something like that!"
Lin Xiuyan smiled and comforted her.
Seeing that the time was right, Jiang Xinrou asked her to go to Xinzhitang to sign the contract.
Lin Xiuyan smiled and nodded, and asked Jiang Xinrou to accompany her.
Jiang Xinrou naturally agreed, and the two held hands. To outsiders, it was clear that they were sisters.
Lin Xiuyan wanted to have fun with Jiang Xinrou, while Jiang Xinrou thought that the Lin Mansion would soon be in her hands, and both of them were very happy.
Seeing their appearance, Ye Junfei half-leaned against the door and murmured: "There is really not a word of truth in the mouths of women."
"Don't want to see me? Then I will let you see me every day."
Before Lin Xiuyan and Jiang Xinrou walked out of the backyard, the concierge hurriedly came to report: "The Lord of the City is here."
The corners of Lin Xiuyan's lips curled up slightly. Zhou Chenyang arrived at the same time as she expected!
She happily took Jiang Xinrou's hand and said, "Let's go with me to see Brother Yang. We can't keep him waiting too long."
Jiang Xinrou smiled and let her pull her forward, feeling a little proud in her heart. Lin Xiuyan was an idiot, and the previous breach of contract was just a tantrum.
The two met Zhou Chenyang at the gate of Lin Mansion.
As soon as Lin Xiuyan saw him, she happily asked: "Are you here to give me a hairpin? Show me quickly!"
Zhou Chenyang patiently went to buy a hairpin for Lin Xiuyan today, but when he came back, he found that he was missing.
He then received the news that the Lin Mansion had not successfully signed a contract with Xinzhitang, and that his people had been sent to the government office. He immediately rushed to the Lin Mansion.
He originally wanted to enter the mansion directly, but was stopped by Lin An, saying that he could not enter without the owner's consent.
He used to come to Lin Mansion whenever he wanted and no one dared to stop him. Being stopped today was a treatment he had never experienced before.
He thought about Lin Xiuyan's abnormality today and felt that this was her order. Now seeing her innocent face, he felt that he might have thought too much.
Zhou Chenyang handed a box to Lin Xiuyan with a dark face: "Why didn't you wait for me at the intersection?"
Lin Xiuyan opened the box and revealed ten exquisite hairpins inside. She said happily: "Because I want Brother Yang to come to my house to find me!"
She turned to Jiang Xinju and said, "Cousin, Brother Yang also gave me a hairpin!"
Jiang Xinrou and Zhou Chenyang looked at each other, and the two of them exchanged some information.
Lin Xiuyan, however, seemed not to have seen it, and happily said to Jiang Xinju: "Brother Yang gave you one hairpin, and you will give me ten hairpins in return."
"Now that we have said it, I won't be angry anymore and will give you another hairpin."
After she finished speaking, she picked out a piggy-shaped hairpin from the box and inserted it directly into Jiang Xinrou's head.
Jiang Xinrou suspected that Lin Xiuyan called her a pig, but these hairpins were given by Zhou Chenyang, so her mood was a little complicated.
Jiang Xinrou reminded softly: "Cousin, the matter of Xinzhitang..."
Lin Xiuyan immediately said: "I was so happy just now that I almost forgot about the real thing."
"Brother Yang, a liar came to my house today to commit fraud. Fortunately, my cousin was smart and saw through his plan right away."
These words were somewhat different from what Jiang Xinrou expected. She said anxiously: "Cousin, that's not the case..."
"I know you never like to take credit." Lin Xiuyan interrupted her: "But you have made such a great contribution to the Lin family this time. It would be unfair to you to hide it any more."
Jiang Xinrou had a bad feeling in her heart.
Sure enough, Lin Xiuyan continued: "The liar used the name Xinzhitang and asked my father to invest 100,000 taels of silver in it, but only gave him 20% of the shares."
"Xin Zhitang rented a three-story courtyard in the west of the city, and their total belongings do not exceed ten thousand taels of silver."
"They actually dare to say that Xinzhitang belongs to Brother Yang. This is because they know that I like Brother Yang and won't ask for confirmation."
"Fortunately, my cousin is smart. She reminded my dad that Brother Yang is the lord of a city, so how can he build his own business?"
"Even if Brother Yang wants to build his own business and wants money, just tell my father and give him as much as he wants. There is no way he can cheat the Lin family out of money in this way."
Jiang Xinrou: “!!!!!”
Seeing that Zhou Chenyang's face was very ugly, she hurriedly defended: "That's not the case, this is obviously what you meant!"
Lin Xiuyan looked at Jiang Xinrou with shining eyes and said happily: "My cousin is right, this is all what I meant!"
After she finished speaking, she secretly gave Jiang Xinrou a thumbs up and winked.
