Chapitre 33: Unexpected Guests
Éditeur: Atlas Studios
Although Old Lin was very curious about what his son's form teacher had said on the phone, it was not appropriate to ask now that someone was knocking on the door.
In the end, he could only stand up awkwardly and open the door.
"Son, is what your form teacher said true?? You really scored full marks in the principal's office?"
After Father Lin left, Empress Dowager Ye could no longer hide the joy in her heart and asked with an uncertain expression.
It was rare to see Empress Dowager Ye talking to him so amiably. Lin Yi immediately felt happy, so he deliberately cleared his throat.
"Cough, about that…"
Seeing her son like this, Empress Dowager Ye subconsciously touched the rolling pin on the dining table. Seeing this, Lin Yi could not help but tremble in fear. He did not dare to show off anymore and hurriedly said, "Really, really, it's indeed true! It's not that you're too unreasonable, but you've already wronged me once. Now that you've understood, why do you still have to use force to resolve the problem?!"
She raised her hand and originally wanted to slap this brat, but when she recalled this kid's current academic results, she awkwardly retracted her hand, afraid that she would slap her son silly again.
"Hey, Old Sun, why are you two here? Come in quickly. Have you eaten? We're about to eat. If you haven't eaten, let's have dinner together."
Old Lin's words interrupted Lin Yi and his mother's conversation. They all looked at the door and immediately saw Sun Zhi and Liu Mei.
This could not help but stunned Empress Dowager Ye. She did not understand why these two people suddenly came to her house, especially when she saw that Sun Zhi was holding two large plastic bags in his hand. She did not know what was going on.
However, although she did not know their goal, Empress Dowager Ye still hurriedly stood up and smiled as she welcomed them. After all, on the surface, she had to be magnanimous.
"Oh, Liu Mei is here. Come, come, quickly eat together. Lin Yi, quickly bring your Uncle Sun and Aunt Liu bowls and chopsticks!"
Seeing this, Sun Zhi and Liu Mei hurriedly smiled and stopped him.
"No, no. Sister Ye, don't worry about us. We just ate."
As they spoke, the two of them had already changed into slippers and entered the house. As Sun Zhi smiled and spoke, he reached out and placed two large black plastic bags on the coffee table.
At the same time, he reached in and took out a box of very exquisite tea leaves.
"Haha, I know you like to drink tea, Brother Lin. I happened to get some good tea leaves, so I specially brought them to you to try."
No matter what, Old Lin had been the group leader of a state-owned enterprise for a few years. Looking at Sun Zhi and his wife's posture, he knew at a glance that they had a request.
However, he was usually very honest. He had never accepted any bribes.
Especially after seeing Sun Zhi take out the tea box, it was obvious that it was not cheap. It was even more impossible for his subordinate to send something over, especially since he did not understand the other party's intentions.
Therefore, Old Lin laughed and said, "Haha, I've long heard that you're doing well now. It seems that you're indeed extraordinary. Then, I'll bask in your glory today and go to your house to taste your good tea leaves later!"
Hearing Father Lin's words, Sun Zhi immediately felt helpless. He knew that Father Lin was an old fox who led the field. He did not have any intention of accepting this thing that he had brought over.
However, Sun Zhi thought about it and felt that it was not right. Now that his son had sold an antique for five million, he might not even fancy the thousand-dollar thing he had sent over.
At this moment, Mother Lin had already walked over. At the same time, she called out to Lin Yi angrily,
"Little Yi, don't you see that there are guests? Hurry up and get some water!"
Hearing this, Sun Zhi and Liu Mei ignored Father Lin's rejection and hurriedly stopped him in unison.
"No! There's no need!"
"There's no need!"
This scene immediately stunned Empress Dowager Ye and Old Lin. They looked at Sun Zhi and his wife in confusion, not understanding why they had such a huge reaction.
"About that, isn't Little Yi eating now? There's no need to trouble him. We just ate, so we're not thirsty. Sister Ye and Brother Lin, don't worry about us. Hurry up and eat. We'll sit here for a while."
Was this still the arrogant Liu Mei? Why did these words make her feel a little uncomfortable?
For a moment, Empress Dowager Ye could not help but look at her husband in confusion. Her husband was clearly not much worse and was also puzzled.
On the other hand, Lin Yi had not left the dining table since Sun Zhi entered. He was still eating unhurriedly.
Under normal circumstances, even if Lin Yi did not like these two people, he would still stand up and greet them politely.
However, after what happened yesterday and this afternoon, Lin Yi could not be bothered to pay attention to these two.
Most importantly, looking at the way the two of them came to give gifts, they most likely had something to ask him to do.
Because of this, Lin Yi directly chose to ignore the two of them.
"Alright, Mom. Since Uncle Sun and the others have already eaten, let's eat first. The food has already turned cold. There's no hurry. Let's talk after eating."
Lin Yi was indeed right. After his mother's education of him being a filial son, the dishes on the dining table had almost turned cold.
"Yes, yes. Hurry up and eat. Don't worry about us! Why don't we go back first and come back later?"
Old Lin and Empress Dowager Ye looked at each other. In the end, it was Old Lin who smiled and said, "Haha, that's fine. Let's eat first. The two of you can watch television here."
After saying that, he looked at Lin Yi at the dining table again and said in a very strict tone, "Little Yi, quickly pour two cups of water!"
Although Old Lin usually looked like a good person with a smile, he was sometimes abnormally strict. For example, manners and rules had been taught to Lin Yi since he was young. He could be useless, but he could not be called ill-mannered!
Hearing his father's rare serious tone, Lin Yi could only helplessly stand up and walk to the water dispenser to get some water.
Seeing this, Sun Zhi hurriedly stood up and snatched the disposable paper cup from Lin Yi's hand to pick it up himself.
Father Lin did not say anything after seeing this. Instead, he sat at the dining table and started to eat.
Due to the presence of Sun Zhi and his wife, the meal went quickly. After the meal, Father Lin and Empress Dowager Ye went to the sofa to chat with them, while Lin Yi found an excuse to return to his room.
Seeing this, Sun Zhi opened his mouth but did not say anything to stop Lin Yi.
