Late at night, Meng Chen suddenly opened his eyes and tried to get up gently. Huang Wujin beside him woke up for no apparent reason, and pressed his slender jade hand on the back of Meng Chen's hand.
"Husband, where are you going?"
Meng Chen was startled, but he quickly calmed down. After all, he was not doing anything bad.
"Xiao Huang, I plan to inquire about Miss Lin."
Huang Wujin stared at her suspiciously: "You have to go in the middle of the night to inquire? And didn't you find out something from the waiter at the inn today? Miss Lin seems to be engaged to the city lord's son Zhao Qian. This is an agreement between the Lin family and the city lord. Cooperation is the most rational choice made by Ms. Lin after considering the overall situation.”
Meng Chen secretly cursed in his heart. As expected of a woman who had been an emperor, she always considered the overall situation. As for sacrificing personal interests, it was probably nothing in her eyes.
Meng Chen pays more attention to Lin Xinran's personal choice. After all, he has the ability to help Lin Xinran. In this case, the so-called reason is not necessary. Lin Xinran only needs to obey her heart.
Meng Chen's attitude was resolute, and Huang Wujin no longer stopped him: "Then I will go with you!"
Meng Chen had no reason to refuse, but was a little worried: "Do you still remember how to operate your cultivation? Can you still control the air?"
Huang Wujin flicked his fingers, and a little light bloomed at his fingertips. The divine light was dazzling, exuding terrifying pressure.
Meng Chen was frightened by this scene. Looking at this posture, Huang Wujin's cultivation seemed not to be greatly affected. Even the light ball released by his fingertips just now was at least above the Void Refining Realm. The current self is no match at all.
Meng Chen felt lucky that he had not taken action before, otherwise Huang Wujin might have been able to kill him when he was trying to protect himself.
"Let's go!"
The two blended into the night quietly, and soon arrived at the Lin family's mansion.
There is something strange about the Lin family mansion. Lin Xinran seems to be the only person in charge of the entire Lin family, and the others are maids and servants.
Meng Chen and Huang Wujin quickly reached the courtyard of Lin Xinran's room. Meng Chen was about to go in to investigate, but was stopped by Huang Wujin.
"Wait a minute! What if someone is taking a shower or changing clothes? You wait outside, and I'll go in first and take a look."
Meng Chen rolled his eyes at her: "You are a concubine, how can it be your turn to take care of these things!"
Meng Chen went in first and hung upside down on the eaves, ready to inquire about Lin Xinran's situation.
When he was about to pry, a person came from below. When he came to the door of the room, he knocked on the door.
Meng Chen was shocked. He didn't understand what Huang Wujin was going to do. Didn't he say that he would come and pry secretly?
Just as Meng Chen was about to dissuade him, the door opened first. Lin Xinran looked out the door in confusion and saw Huang Wujin, with a look of astonishment on her pretty face.
"Sister Xiaohuang, why are you here?"
Huang Wujin whispered: "Let's go in and talk!"
Lin Xinran got a lot of good things from Meng Chen and Huang Wujin, and was not wary of them, so she pulled Huang Wujin into the room.
She poured Huang Wujin a cup of tea and then asked: "Sister Xiao Huang, what's the matter? Where's Brother Meng? Why didn't I come with you?"
Huang Wujin had an awkward smile on his face and said with a bitter smile: "He is here."
As she spoke, she shouted out the window: "Husband, how long are you going to hide there and peek?" When she heard that it was a peek, Lin Xinran's expression suddenly became unnatural.
Meng Chen fell to the ground and came to the door with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Well, don't listen to Xiaohuang's nonsense. We came here together, and I just arrived. Well... I didn't peek."
Lin Xinran was still a little suspicious, but she didn't say anything more and asked about the purpose of the two people's visit.
Meng Chen said bluntly: "Well, we met a man named Guo Huai'en on the road, scolding you there, and then we learned more about you and the City Lord's Mansion. You seem to be in some trouble, right? Do you need us? Help?”
Lin Xinran's expression dropped visibly to the naked eye. She glanced at Meng Chen and Huang Wujin repeatedly, and after a long time she said bitterly:
"Forget it, Brother Meng and Sister Xiaohuang, although you are monks, some things cannot be solved simply by force."
Huang Wujin narrowed her eyes slightly and said coldly: "Miss Lin, no matter who it is, we can solve it for you. In fact, you don't have to worry so much."
Lin Xinran's eyes flickered, and there was a faint expectation in his heart. Of course, if he knew that the so-called solution was that Huang Wujin wanted to kill all those people, he probably wouldn't be so calm anymore.
Meng Chen interrupted: "We can help you solve the problem without harming the interests of your family, so there is no need to hide anything from us."
Lin Xinran met the sincere and sincere eyes of Meng Chen and Huang Wujin, and was quite moved. After thinking for a moment, she wiped away her tears and slowly talked about the Lin family.
The Lin family is considered a big family in Weiyuan City, and no one can compete with them. An accident happened three years ago. Father Lin and mother Lin had an accident on their way to business and died in a foreign country. The Lin family, which had been prosperous for a while, had an accident. It started to go downhill.
The internal fights within the family and the coveting of other families quickly plunged the Lin family into turmoil.
Lin Xinran is the only daughter of the Lin family. After the death of her parents, she single-handedly supported the crumbling Lin family. Although she tried her best, the Lin family inevitably declined.
Originally, according to the rate of decline of the Lin family, the Lin family should have been ruined long ago. The turning point came a year ago, when the new city lord arrived and hosted a banquet for all the major families in the city. Of course, the Lin family was also invited.
Then, Lin Xinran met Zhao Qian, the son of the city lord. After that, Zhao Qian often invited Lin Xinran to parties. When the Lin family was in trouble, he would also help out.
During this process, Lin Xinran always refused, but Zhao Qian ignored it.
Moreover, Lin Xinran and Guo Huaien were indeed childhood sweethearts, and they were in love with each other. If nothing happened to the Lin family, they might have gotten married.
It's a pity that the Lin family's affairs are destined to make the two of them destined to be inseparable. That's what Lin Xinran said.
If she was the only one, then of course she would be willing to hand it over to Guo Huaien, but the huge Lin family needs her support and maintenance!
These were all left by her parents. She had already been humiliated by her decline. If she was completely absorbed by others, Lin Xinran would feel ashamed to be the daughter of the Lin family again.
So, three months ago, when Lin's business bank encountered an unprecedented crisis, Lin Xinran made a decision.
Since the Lin family cannot support the Lin family with its own strength, it can only seek external strength.
The Guo family didn't have that strength, so she quickly ignored it and decided to give up her relationship with Guo Huaien. From now on, Zhao Qian, the son of the city lord, was the best choice.
