Mrs. Zong nodded lazily, "I'm back."

"Yes," Xi Yu lowered his head, "May I ask what you want, Madam?"

"The housekeeper said that you are going to the neighboring province to participate in a performance this time?"

Neighboring province? Performance?

Xi Yu's heart moved.

Was it Sodo who lied?

Doesn’t her family know about her going to France?

Although he was thinking about it, he quickly replied, "Yes. I was originally in the neighboring province. I received a call a few days ago and learned that my mother was hospitalized, so I rushed back. I have been staying in the hospital for the past two days."

Xi Yu secretly glanced at Lin's mother.

Lin Yanyan sent a WeChat message on the day she went abroad, and specifically mentioned Chu Ying's existence, which means that Lin Yanyan knew that she went to Paris with Zong Du, and knew Zong Du's purpose.

Since Lin Yanyan knows, what about Lin’s mother? Does she know?

Xi Yu waited and waited, but Lin's mother never spoke.

"I asked you to come here today because someone wants to see you." Mrs. Zong glanced at Lin's mother who was sitting next to her, and she could hardly suppress a sarcastic smile on her face, "This is Miss Lin's mother, Mrs. Lin."

Before it was always Yanyan’s name and Yanyan’s name was always Yanyan’s, but now she has become Miss Lin.

Xi Yu pondered for a moment, figured out Mrs. Zong's attitude, and looked at Mother Lin, "Mrs. Lin."

"Are you Xi Yu?" Lin's mother's voice was a little hoarse, as if her voice was hoarse after crying so much.

"yes."

"She's quite pretty," Lin's mother sneered, "She must be very popular with men."

Listening to the other party's sarcastic words, Xi Yu curled his fingers and said carefully, "Thank you, Mrs. Lin, for the compliment."

"Humph," Lin's mother snorted coldly, "Do you know why I came to see you today?"

Xi Yu shook his head.

Mrs. Zong saw that Lin's mother was still being mysterious at this time, and rolled her eyes, "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you yelling about useless things?"

Lin's mother is a joke.

After a few seconds of silence, she took out an envelope with some annoyance and threw it to Xi Yu, "Take it."

The envelope floated down to the ground and landed right at Xi Yu's feet.

Xi Yu was startled, and the word "gift" suddenly popped into his mind.

At least she still had her sanity, she looked up at Mrs. Zong, "Madam, this is..."

"Since it's given by Mrs. Lin, you should accept it." Mrs. Zong was contrary to her usual behavior. Not only did she not look angry, but she smiled with a gloating look on her face.

Xi Yu didn't dare to squat down and pick it up immediately.

Mother Lin already felt ashamed, and when she saw Xi Yu making fun of her, her anger flared up.

She had a dark face and no longer pretended to be gentle and generous. She looked at Xi Yu with a harsh look in her eyes, "Who do you think you are? Just take it if I give it to you!

Greed is insatiable, don't think you can control my Lin family, be careful of getting into trouble! "

Xi Yu suddenly looked at her with a confused look in his eyes.

What's the grasping and what's the greed?

What is she talking about...

Xi Yu had to guess the purpose of Lin's mother calling him over this time.

Zong Du said that the other party would give him a gift, and the envelope at his feet was obviously the gift itself.

She guessed that there was probably a check inside.

But why would the Lin family give themselves money?

Then my heart moved again.

Lin's mother said that she had the Lin family under control and she only knew Lin Yanyan, a member of the Lin family.

And Lin Yanyan swung a knife at herself in the early morning.

Xi Yu was determined.

Mrs. Zong couldn't help laughing when she saw Lin's mother's angry and embarrassed look.

Her attitude further angered Lin's mother, and she could no longer conceal the anger on her face. Her swollen face made her expression even more distorted:

"Your Zong family has a lot of wealth, and my Lin family is not afraid of you! Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you have some leverage over Yanyan!"

Then he looked at Xi Yu, "Forget it this time, but if you dare to do it again, I will let you and your daughter see what my Lin family is capable of!"

After saying that, Mother Lin stood up and glared at Xi Yu with a poisonous look, then turned to Madam Zong again:

"You Xiqin, you should remember this too. There is still a long time to come. Don't think that your clan will always be proud!"

Then he walked away with a dark face and a swagger.

"Bah!" Mrs. Zong looked at Lin's mother's back and sneered, "What the hell!"

Xi Yu's heart sank.

She looked at the envelope on the ground.

Just now, Lin's mother said the words "mother and daughter".

Xi Yi originally thought that Lin's mother came because of Lin Yanyan's matter, but the other party mentioned Zhuang Yi.

Zong Du had told Xi Yu before that Zhuang Yi helped Lin Yanyan to slander her just for money.

So, the purpose of this envelope can be imagined.

Mrs. Zong looked at Xi Yu and asked, "Do you know what's in the envelope?"

" ...I can guess, it might be a check." Xi Yu bit her lip.

"Well, you're not that stupid." Zong Du smiled coldly, "Keep it. After all, it was earned by your good mother who is good at getting along with everyone."

There was a loud bang in Xi Yu's head.

Mrs. Zong's words basically confirmed her guess.

The pure white envelope at her feet seemed like a huge mouth of the abyss, about to swallow her whole.

Xi Yu bent down with surprise and disbelief and picked it up.

I opened it and felt a thin piece of paper inside.

It was indeed a check.

The check has been filled out for 2 million.

Xi Yu couldn't help but think of Xi Kuoshan's sudden appearance in the ward.

He had been out of touch for a long time, so Xi Yu was surprised to see him appear in the hospital at this time.

Xi Kuoshan is like a fly that smells rotten meat. He never shows up in times of crisis and only appears when there is profit to be made.

Every time he shows up, it's to ask for money.

But how could Zhuang Yi, a servant living in her master's house with a meager income, have such a large sum of money for him to gamble?

In the past, Xi Kuoshan never showed up when Zhuang Yi was sick.

But he showed up yesterday.

I think he knew that Zhuang Yi would receive a sum of money.

"Your mother is still as sharp as a knife. She can use all the leverage in her hands to sell it at a suitable price." Mrs. Zong looked at Xi Yu in a trance and smiled sarcastically, "Are you satisfied with this price this time?"

Xi Yu gradually tightened her fingers and clenched the check into a ball.

Mrs. Zong was extremely satisfied as she watched Xi Yu's expression change back and forth.

Having seen enough of the good show, Mrs. Zong stood up and said, "Go away. Aren't you a loving mother and a filial daughter? I will help you."

Xi Yu didn't remember how he left the Zong family. When he came to his senses, he was already at the door of the ward.

Li Rui was sitting outside in the corridor processing documents. When she saw Xi Yu coming back, she stood up and asked, "Did you get it?"

She said this with a playful wink.

Xi Yu smiled gently, "I got it. Did the young master say this is a gift for me?"

"Yes," Li Rui recalled what Lu Rang had told her, "Young Master said that you want to register a dance troupe? This is a great gift from the Lin family."

Xi Yu sighed.

When I pushed open the door and entered the ward, Zhuang Yi was sleeping.

Xi Yu walked to the bedside and sat down, staring at the new bruises she had last night.

...

Paris.

After sleeping for three hours, Zong Du got up before dawn.

Lu Rang knocked on the door and pushed it open after hearing the response.

I saw Soudou standing in front of the closet, taking out a shirt, lifting it up, and then passing it over his head.

The white shirt slowly covered his smooth muscle lines from top to bottom.

The shoulder blades, spinal grooves, waistline, and deep dimples on the coccyx.

And the less obvious whip scars on the skin.
