Chapter 290: 089: Also Out of My League!_8

The next day.

At two in the afternoon, Lin Guixiang, as usual, attended the English language training class.

She had been practicing on her own at home for the past few days and could now engage in simple daily dialogue with the teacher in English.

"Frances, you really have a talent!" the foreign teacher named Astrid, with blond hair and blue eyes, gave her a thumbs up.

Frances was Lin Guixiang’s English name.

Symbolizing freedom and unconstraint.

Lin Guixiang smiled, "I also didn’t expect to learn it this smoothly."

That feeling was very strange, especially when she first encountered the twenty-six English letters, it seemed as if she had seen them before... even some words she could read without ever having seen them.

Astrid continued, "If it goes on like this, you’ll be able to graduate after a little more time."

"I hope so."

With that, Lin Guixiang took out a set of Immortal Phoenix skincare products from her bag, "These are our own spot-removing products, Teacher Astrid, you could give it a try."

European and American people have white skin, which tends to develop freckles easily.

Astrid was no exception.

Having lived in Hua Country for so many years, Astrid had a bit of distrust towards Hua Country brands; moreover, the skin of Europeans and Americans is different from that of Asians, so the skincare products might not work for her.

However, Astrid didn’t outright refuse Lin Guixiang’s kindness and smiled, "Thank you."

"You’re welcome." Lin Guixiang packed up her books, "Teacher Astrid, I’ll head back first then."

"Okay." Astrid nodded.

After Lin Guixiang left, Astrid put the skincare products into her bag.

Although she didn’t hold any hope for the Immortal Phoenix, she couldn’t just throw it away since Lin Guixiang had brought it as a gift specifically for her.

Just stepping out of the training center’s building, Lin Guixiang received a call from Lin Guimei.

Lin Guimei said with a laugh on the other end, "Big sister, last month I was too busy to celebrate your birthday. I happen to have time this afternoon, so I’m bringing mom and the others over to your place for a meal, is that okay?"

As her sister wanted to visit, Lin Guixiang naturally wouldn’t refuse and immediately replied with a smile, "Okay, okay, okay, I’ll head back now and start preparing."

"Great, then I’ll arrive around six or seven in the evening."

After hanging up the phone, Mother Sun immediately asked, "How did it go? Did your big sister agree?"

Lin Guimei nodded, "Yes, she agreed. Mom, could you please contact Grandma Gui and Sister Mingqing now, to get them ready?"

"Sure."

After receiving Lin Guimei’s call, Lin Guixiang directly went to the store and asked Zhao Cuinong to drive her to the fresh market to buy groceries. She wanted to properly entertain Lin Guimei’s family.

This would be Mother Sun’s first visit to her home.

Zhao Cuinong felt something was off, "Big sister, don’t you think there’s something strange about this?"

"What is strange?" Lin Guixiang frowned slightly.

Zhao Cuinong couldn’t exactly put her finger on it, "I just feel that something is off, like your second sister is being a bit too eager."

Lin Guixiang said with a smile, "I think it’s quite nice of Guimei to do this."

As sisters, they should indeed spend more time together.

Zhao Cuinong wanted to say more, but seeing Lin Guixiang looking so excited, she swallowed her words.

After returning from the supermarket, Zhao Cuinong didn’t go back to the store but instead helped Lin Guixiang cook.

At half-past six, Lin Wu got home.

Seeing Zhao Cuinong and Lin Guixiang bustling in the kitchen cooking, Lin Wu felt puzzled, "Mom, is someone coming to our house today?"

"Yeah, your aunt and the others are coming," Lin Guixiang responded busily from the kitchen, then said, "Xiao Wu, go wash some fruit."

"Okay."

Lin Guimei parked the car downstairs.

Mother Sun, Gui Lanzhi, and Gui Mingqing stepped out of the car in turn.

As soon as they got out of the car, Gui Lanzhi frowned slightly, "They mother and daughter live in this kind of place?"

"Yeah." Lin Guimei nodded.

Gui Lanzhi’s disdainful look in her eyes was about to overflow, "This is far inferior to the houses we live in overseas!"

Mother Sun said with a smile, "Of course, you can’t compare this to overseas, but it’s still decent enough to live in."

Gui Lanzhi didn’t speak further and followed Lin Guimei’s steps, continuing to walk forward.

Lin Guixiang and Lin Wu lived on the second floor.

They soon arrived.

Lin Guimei knocked on the door, and hearing movement, Lin Guixiang hurried over to open the door, "Aunt Sun, Guimei is here."

As these words fell, Lin Guixiang then saw Gui Lanzhi and Gui Mingqing; she was stunned for a moment, before saying, "Grandma Gui, Sister Mingqing."

Lin Guimei said with a smile, "Big sister, I brought Grandma Gui and Sister Mingqing with me to discuss something with you, and also to see your home, you wouldn’t mind, right?"

"Not at all, not at all, please come in." Lin Guixiang welcomed everyone in, "The food is ready, we can eat right away."

Once inside the house, they discovered.

Lin Guixiang had prepared a full table of dishes, complete with color, fragrance, and taste.

Lin Bingqiang and Zhao Cuinong’s family of three were all present.

Naturally, Mother Zhao wasn’t absent either.

Lin Guixiang continued, "Tonight it’s all family, please sit wherever you like."

Seeing Gui Lanzhi and Gui Mingqing, Lin Bingqiang’s expression changed.

After taking their seats.

Gui Lanzhi clearly was displeased.

She distinctly felt that neither Lin Guixiang nor Lin Wu paid much attention to her, the future mother-in-law and grandmother.

Lin Guimei raised her glass first to Lin Guixiang, "Big sister, I wasn’t present for your last birthday, which really troubles me. This time, I’ll take a penalty drink as an apology and hope you won’t mind your younger sister’s mistake."

"Guimei, we’re family, no need for such formalities." Lin Guixiang stood with her glass in hand, and despite never drinking, she took a sip for Lin Guimei’s sake.

Lin Guimei said with a smile, "Actually, I came today quite abruptly with Grandma Gui and Sister Mingqing because I wanted to talk about you and Brother Mingtao’s matter. Since Qiangzi and Cui Nong are also here, it’s a good time for our family to settle this."

The Gui Family had prepared a bridal price and even offered Qing City household registration to Lin Guixiang and her daughter, which for Lin Guixiang was truly a pie from the sky.

Mother Zhao had already heard from Zhao Cuinong that Lin Guimei intended to introduce a match to Lin Guixiang. Upon hearing this, she snorted coldly, "Guimei, this isn’t right of you! Your big sister worked hard to raise you and put you through school and university, and now you’re just going to pass her off to a cripple! Aren’t you harming your own sister?"

Although Lin Guimei said that the person just had some difficulty with his legs, who knows if that meant a slight issue or being bedridden?

From the looks of Lin Guimei, it was quite likely that the person was paralyzed.

Hearing this, Gui Lanzhi’s face turned pale, "Who are you calling a cripple?"

Mother Zhao was not afraid of Gui Lanzhi, "I’m talking about your son! Do you dare to say that your son is just a little inconvenient with his legs? You old witch, I’ve seen plenty like you in the countryside, trying to snare something for nothing, looking for a free caretaker? Truly shameless!"

Gui Lanzhi’s cunning plans were bluntly exposed by Mother Zhao, and she was so angry she nearly spat blood. Although Gui Lanzhi could be a shrew herself, she was no match for Mother Zhao. In the countryside, Mother Zhao could tear apart several unreasonable wicked mothers-in-law single-handedly; she did not take Gui Lanzhi seriously at all.

Seeing the atmosphere at the dining table suddenly become tense, Lin Guimei immediately stood up and laughed, trying to smooth things over, "Brother Mingtao’s situation has also been explained to my big sister; he’s a rare talent. Not only is his family background excellent, but he is also a high scholar. If my big sister could marry him, that would truly be an honor!"
