Chapter 463: Chapter 462 They Will Definitely Like It

Lin Xia and Lin Dong got off the train and headed home; as soon as they reached their own front gate, Wang Lan from the small shop opposite hurried out.

She wore a warm smile and greeted them cordially, "Lin Xia! Lin Dong! You’re back!"

"Yes, auntie!" Lin Xia let Lin Dong open the door while she chatted with Wang Lan.

Although Wang Lan enjoyed gossiping, after the incident involving Lin Qiu and Wu Zhengyang, Lin Xia felt she was still a good person.

Wang Lan glanced at the travel bags they were carrying and immediately asked with curiosity, "Why don’t I see Lin Qiu? Didn’t she come back with you?"

Back when the Lin family members had left, the neighbors had gossiped and speculated behind their backs.

With the Wu family’s incident being the talk of the town and living right next door, it was hard not to notice; Lin Qiu must have felt so uncomfortable.

With her grandfather being so powerful and influential, perhaps Lin Qiu would never come back. She could find any sort of partner she wished for over there!

Lin Xia replied with a light smile, "No! My sister wanted to stay there a little longer before coming back!"

Wang Lan nodded as if that made perfect sense, "Of course, it’s not every day you get to visit your grandmother’s house; she must want to stay for a while!"

Lin Xia agreed, "Exactly! It’s not like my sister has anything urgent here! As for my brother and me, we have no choice, he has to go to school, and I can’t neglect my business! Otherwise, we would also stay there for a longer period!"

Both knew exactly what the situation was.

Wang Lan nodded in agreement, "Right, right!"

She glanced at the Wu family’s tightly shut gate next door, actually wanting to talk to Lin Xia about the Wu family’s business, but considering it was early in the morning, standing at the doorstep discussing it wouldn’t be proper.

So, the words on the tip of her tongue changed to, "Lin Xia! Your aunt came by looking for you; she seemed to have something she wanted to discuss with you!"

Lin Xia’s brows knitted slightly, wondering what Lin Aijia wanted with her.

"Is that so? I’ll ask her after I finish up my chores! Auntie! You go ahead with your work, I’m going home!"

"Go ahead!" Wang Lan waved them off enthusiastically, watching Lin Xia enter before she turned to head back to her own little shop.

After going inside, Lin Xia first called Qin Zeming to let them know they had safely arrived home. Although it was still early, they surely were worried.

As expected, the phone was immediately answered by Li Yulan upon dialing.

Knowing that they had arrived home safely put them at ease, and they gave Lin Xia and her brother plenty of advice.

Lin Qiu also chatted with the two of them for a while before ending the call.

Lin Xia checked the time, saw it was still early, and didn’t rush to call Lin Aijia and Lu Zheng.

The siblings cleaned up the house a bit and made some breakfast.

Lin Dong said he wasn’t tired at all and wanted to go back to school for classes; Lin Xia didn’t stop him.

Although senior year mostly involved revision, time was tight and they couldn’t afford delays.

Lin Xia later went to Jiang Mingyuan’s store.

After Jiang Mingyuan gave her the recent sales earnings, the two of them started chatting.

"Lin Xia! How’s everything at your maternal grandfather’s place?"

Lin Xia chuckled lightly, "It’s good! My grandmother looks so much like my mom! My eldest aunt is very nice too, and they all really like Xiaoqiu."

She treated Jiang Mingyuan almost like her own brother and was willing to tell him everything, "That’s why Dongzi and I came back. Xiaoqiu will stay a bit longer; actually, my grandparents intend to introduce her to some well-matched potential suitors!"

Jiang Mingyuan said loudly, "Xiaoqiu is such a good girl, of course they would like her! I think it would be better if she just finds a partner and gets married there!"

"You know, if she comes back and sees whoever from the Wu family next door, it’ll just upset her!"

He had always treated Lin Qiu like his own sister, and even though he had someone take care of Wu Zhengyang, he still felt it wasn’t enough to appease his anger.

"I actually think the same, but with these things, it still comes down to fate!" Lin Xia pursed her lips, "Xiaoqiu was hurt, she won’t be able to open her heart and accept a new love that quickly. She needs some time. Let’s just leave it to fate!"

"That’s true!" Jiang Mingyuan then started talking about something else, "Who else is in your grandfather’s family? Did you meet everyone this time?"

"Not everyone! Later on, our second uncle rushed over from the south to meet with us..."

Her second uncle, Qin Ziping, was in a southern province and was extremely busy with work.

He arrived the day after they got there.

After the meeting, he returned the next day.

Lin Xia talked about the situation at her grandfather’s place and then carefully steered the conversation towards Clivia.

"Big brother! Is Brother Ma still dealing with Clivia in Ji City?"

When she arrived at Qin Zeming’s place, she remembered the Clivia craze.

Ma Hao was her second brother’s good friend and had also helped her and Lin Dong before. During the past two New Years, they had all gotten along well over meals and drinks.

Out of both sentiment and reason, knowing that the Clivia bubble might burst next year, she felt she should give a heads-up in advance.

"He is! He said on the phone the other day that it’s going pretty well!"

Lin Xia considered her words carefully, thinking about how to make her warning seem reasonable.

"When I was at my grandfather’s, I heard some rumors that Clivia might not last much longer... Apparently, there’s going to be some document issued..."

Jiang Mingyuan’s expression grew serious; Lin Xia’s grandfather’s family was influential in Ji Province, and the rumors she heard were not to be taken lightly.

"Okay! I’ll mention it to him!"

Since Lin Xia could not be sure whether the decline in Clivia’s popularity would change due to the "butterfly effect" in this life, she dialed back her statement,

"Big brother! But what I heard was by chance, and I don’t know what will happen in the end! Ma Brother won’t blame me if it turns out to be a false alarm, right?"

Jiang Mingyuan laughed heartily, "Why would he blame you? Don’t worry! ’What flourishes must decline’ is a common principle.

Clivia is just a kind of flower, and it’s already been speculated up to sky-high prices, but there’s actually no market for it at such prices. It’s still just a handful of people who control the high-priced stocks.

Even though Ma Hao has relatives to support him there, he is still far behind compared to those people! It’s better to retreat in time than to not be able to get out and end up losing everything..."

Lin Xia smiled with relief, feeling much more at ease having spoken out her concerns.

"Should I take the goods and deliver them to your home?"

"Sure!"

Ever since she noticed someone following her in the south, she had been even more cautious than before.

At the time, they made a show of pulling in some goods to Jiang Mingyuan’s store, but in reality, there were still some in her Jade’s room.

Latter, Jiang Mingyuan drove Lin Xia’s inventory from his place back to her house.

Before they even reached the driveway, they saw Lin Aijia sitting on a wooden bench beside Lin Xia’s front door.

Upon seeing a car approach, Lin Aijia hurriedly got up, and when she saw that Lin Xia was in the passenger seat, she immediately lit up with a smile.

After getting out of the car, Lin Xia raised an eyebrow and asked, "Auntie! What brings you here?"

Thinking there was still time, she hadn’t called Lin Aijia’s office; who would have thought she would have come directly?

She muttered to herself, one doesn’t visit a temple without a cause, perhaps there was some matter that brought her aunt here!
