Chapter 156: Sister

Xue Jing also had a worried look on her face, all worried that if Zi Shan couldn’t make it work here in Lin Hao, she wouldn’t be able to accept a man from now on, she blamed herself on Chu Xiang, she was just a little too anxious, as a friend she should have advised Zi Shan to be more careful and take it easy, instead of encouraging her to take a big step forward.

Zi Shan did comfort Xue Jing and Chu Xiang, said Lin Hao is an adult, even if his family does not agree, should not cause the biggest trouble between them, they are now can be responsible for their own, so as long as she and Lin Hao two heart to heart, I believe that his family will ultimately accept.

She said so much that she actually had no bottom at all in her heart, because having been through a marriage once she knew very well the weight that both of her family members had in a marriage, and she really didn’t want to have another marriage that wasn’t blessed by anyone.

Lin Hao laughed after receiving Zi Shan’s call, ”I was just about to ask you out too, is noon okay? Uh, okay, I’ll pick you up at noon then. You sound a bit off, are you tired or have you caught a cold again?” He got worried.

Vixen perked up, “Nothing. See you at noon.” It was impossible to talk on the phone, it was better to meet and talk. One morning, she could not concentrate on her work, so she could see Xue Jing and Chu Xiang worrying more about her.

At noon, Lin Hao came to pick her up on time, Xue Jing first let Zi Shan on the car, pulled Lin Hao and asked: “You are sincere to Zi Shan, right? You should know that she really can’t take any more emotional blows, if you can’t give her happiness let go of her, otherwise, we won’t spare you.”

Lin Hao took a very serious look at so-and-so Jing, then Chu Xiang, then got a little nervous, “Did something happen? I heard something wrong with Zi Shan’s tone this morning, and you guys are like this now, what’s going on?” Chu Xiang and Xue Jing had always looked at her as a friend, and for the first time he said something like that to him.

Chu Xiang pulled Xue Jing away, “There’s something Zi Shan would have said to you, Lawyer Lin. We just care about Zi Shan and want her to be happy, please, make sure you take good care of Zi Shan on our behalf.”

Zi Shan calls out to Lin Hao from the car, Lin Hao looks at Chu Xiang and Xue Jing and turns back to walk away, but his heart is in turmoil, wondering what happened overnight that would make Xue Jing and Chu Xiang warn and plead with him so seriously. He thought back again and again, all he could be sure of was that what he had done was not wrong, I do not know what made a few women so uneasy.

When he got to the car Lin Hao briefly told him about what happened to so-and-so Jing and Chu Xiang: ”Zi Shan, what do you have to say to me? I see that Chu Xiang and the girls are all so nervous, making me nervous now too.” He laughed as he said this, “I haven’t even gone to meet your elders yet, your two friends have scared me like this, you have to back me up on this or I’ll be too scared to step over the threshold of your house.”

Zishan was amused by him and laughed out, blanking him and saying, “I really didn’t think about letting you go to our home ……,” she was worried not about her own family, she could be considered to have no family.

Lin Hao interrupted her and said seriously, “It certainly doesn’t matter if we make friends, if we talk about marriage then we must fight for your father’s consent, that’s more than just respect for him, that’s more my respect for you, it’s our family’s respect for you, it’s very important.”

Zi Shan didn’t expect Lin Hao to say these words, her heart warmed slightly, “Well, if that’s the case.” She looked at Lin Hao and smiled, “It’s a bit early to talk about it.”

“Early? An ugly daughter-in-law always has to meet her in-laws, and this ugly son-in-law of mine always has to pay a visit to his father-in-law as well.” joked Lin Hao being hit by Zi Shan, pretending to yell out in pain, and the two of them quickly forgot the unpleasantness they had just experienced.

Soon arrived at the place, Lin Hao to Zi Shan open the car door before saying: “Today’s lunch meal is not only the two of us, there is a person who wants to meet you, I did not go through your consent to agree, now apologize. Well, now if you don’t agree, I can send you back or we can go to another place for lunch, I’ll take care of everything else, you don’t have to worry about it.”

Zi Shan looked at him, “Who is it?” Looking at the expression on Lin Hao’s face he couldn’t really guess who it was.

“My sister, Lin Xia.” Lin Hao looked at Zi Shan, “She saw us holding hands and rushed over without saying hello after calling to ask, she had to meet you.”

Zi Shan did get a little upset when she heard that, but originally she was worried about Lin Hao’s family, and his sister was supposed to be the vanguard? She thought for a moment, “Alright. It’s just that it’s a bit rude to dress like this today.”

“You’re thinking too much. What’s between you and me is between you and me, not to mention my sister, even my parents can only give us their blessing.” Lin Hao took Zi Shan’s hand, “What you need to do is to get to know them, not to please them.”

Once again, Zi Shan was a bit surprised and let Lin Hao pull her into the restaurant’s private room, seeing a woman in her late forties standing up in the room, she knew it was Lin Hao’s sister.

Lin Xia’s appearance and Lin Hao only three or four points similar, people do not look tall rather very small, but at a glance has the workplace women’s competence and shrewd, a dress is very neutral, but in her smile the moment to show a hint of flirtation.

Seeing Zishan, Lin Xia smiled and stood up: “This is Zishan? Come, have a seat. I’ve been hearing Lin Hao talk about you all morning, but it’s better to be known than seen.” She looked behind Lin Hao and Zi Shan, “Didn’t you bring the child? I even bought the child a little gift.”

She picked up a ragdoll on the chair beside her, “I guess little girls should be like us when we were little, they all love ragdolls, and it doesn’t change until after they have children.”

Zi Shan took the gift and thanked her, asking Lin Xia to sit down first, “You’re too kind, she’s in school and won’t be home at noon.” She could not see any dissatisfaction or contempt on Lin Xia’s face.

Lin Xia spoke casually, sometimes joking with Lin Hao, sometimes talking to Zi Shan about work, and also asking how Zi Shan’s business was going, in short, a very nice person who didn’t give Zi Shan the slightest bit of a hard time, much less mentioning things that would embarrass Zi Shan.

She was a very talkative person, making it easy for people to relax with her. When she left, she shook Zi Shan’s hand, “Lin Hao is not very good at taking care of himself, but now I’m relieved, and so are the people at home. When you take your annual vacation this year, you must come to the house with Lin Hao to have fun ah.” And finally, she also said half-jokingly, “If Lin Hao bullies you, you can say it to me, I’ll come and take the heat for you.”

Zi Shan and Lin Hao escorted Lin Xia to the car, and after she started the car, Lin Xia waved her hand at Zi Shan and then said to her brother, “You’re so lucky.”

Lin Hao waved his hand and didn’t say anything, he hadn’t said much all lunch, Lin Xia was pretty much the only one laughing at the whole table, he just told his sister that Zi Shan was the one he was destined to be with.

Zi Shan really can’t find fault with Lin Xia, not only did she buy a gift for her child, but she also acknowledged her relationship with Lin Hao, which almost made her feel at ease and not have to worry about Lin Hao’s family objecting to it, but for some reason she always had a feeling that she didn’t feel comfortable with it, but she didn’t know where to start.

Lin Hao pulled Zi Shan back into the dining room, “I see that you haven’t eaten much either, after she leaves we can just have a good meal, our family is pretty much all of them with this kind of temperament, it won’t be too hard to get along with.” He sat down and looked at Zi Shan, “So and so Jing and the others said you have something to tell me, what is it exactly?”

Zishan smiled and lowered her head, “I’m just worried that your family can’t accept ……”

“We’re both adults, if we want to get married all we need to do is for the two of us to agree, it’s not just me who knows that, our families are clear about it too,” Lin Hao spread his hands, “Now, are you relieved?”

Zi Shan didn’t nod, “Sister isn’t difficult to get along with, but I don’t know what to say to her to make her feel better, as you know, I’m not a very good talker, sitting quietly and listening is rather my forte.”

Lin Hao grabbed her hand, “As long as you’re willing to recognize me and believe in me, then the rest of the things are mine and shouldn’t be your concern, no matter if it’s my family’s affairs or yours, leave it to me. Trust me, so many difficult cases can’t defeat me, what else do you have to worry about?”

Zixan nodded after thinking about it, “That’s right.” She still had one more thing on her mind, but was not in a good position to speak up at this time, however, Lin Hao knew that she had a bad heart, so he should know that there was a high possibility that she would not be able to have any more children, right? Lawyers’ hearts were extremely delicate.

The reason she didn’t say it was that although she had admitted that she had feelings for Lin Hao, she hadn’t thought about marrying him, and she hadn’t thought about it at the moment, it was something for the future. If she asked something like that, it would be like she couldn’t wait to get married.

Lin Hao asked a few more questions after seeing how she was hesitant to speak, but he gave up when Zi Shan didn’t say anything, and in the middle of the conversation, he answered a phone call, “Hello. Oh, I know, uh, I’ll be right there.”

Vixen left with him, knowing that his work had come back to haunt him. With most of her mind untangled, her mood soared anew, and even the cold winter days became so lovely in her eyes – surely spring couldn’t be very far away when winter arrived.

She got out of the car when she got to a place not far from the store, leaving Lin Hao to go about his business unnecessarily turning another corner to get there – it’s a one-way street over there, and turning it out would take some time, and time really is everything to a lawyer, which is why she’s so considerate. She watched Lin Hao’s car walk away before she headed towards the store.

Before she even got to the store, she saw Shen Yang stop in front of Chu Xiang and Xue Jing, and was arguing with someone, because some people were watching, so she only saw the three Shen Yangs, but didn’t see who the person they were arguing with was. She hurriedly ran over, trying to be unclear about who had come to the store to cause trouble.

She and Chu Xiang, so and so quiet with the neighbors get along very well, usually some of the dishes to do more will send some to the neighbors, and the neighbors will also come over to give a hand when they are idle – it should not be they and Chu Xiang and the girls had a dispute.
