After Transmigrating into a book, I Was Played By a Black Lotus

Chapter 87 A Good Person

Before Bai Xiying went to S City, Lin Xingzhu took her back to the Lin family home for a visit.

At the dinner table, Lin's father looked at the two of them, clearly very pleased with how close they were, his smile unable to be hidden.

Lin Xingzhu and Bai Xiying exchanged a glance, and when they turned back to face Lin's father, Lin Xingzhu suddenly spoke, "Dad, in the near future, Bai Xiying and I are planning to get engaged."

"Engaged?" Lin's father was delighted. "Engagement sounds great!"

He looked at the two of them, who seemed such a perfect match, and was extremely happy. "But how long will it take?"

Hearing the implication in his father's words, Bai Xiying lowered her head, looking somewhat shy.

Lin Xingzhu explained, "Bai Xiying has to go to S City for a competition. After she returns, we'll begin preparing for the engagement."

"Oh, I see."

Lin's father, delighted, said, "Alright, alright, we should pick an auspicious date for the engagement."

Thinking about how Lin Xingzhu's engagement would soon lead to marriage, Lin's father felt very reassured.

After dinner, Bai Xiying went to the garden at the back of the house to take a walk and digest her food, while Lin Xingzhu excused himself and took his father to the study, saying he had something to discuss.

Lin Xingzhu asked his father about the partnership with the Wen family.

Lin's father hesitated. "What? You're asking about Uncle Jiang?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xingzhu immediately realized his father misunderstood.

"Of course, I've been involved," Lin Xingzhu said. "Uncle Jiang often brings me in to help, but it's because I've been involved that I find something strange."

"As far as I know, we've never had any business dealings with the Wen family before. So how is it that we're partnering on such a big project with them?"

Lin's father was taken aback. It suddenly occurred to him that there were some deeper matters Lin Xingzhu still didn't know.

In the past, Lin Xingzhu had been careless and playful, never interested in the family business. Naturally, Lin's father had never discussed these matters with her.

Moreover, even if Lin's father had wanted to talk to her about it, Lin Xingzhu would have brushed him off.
