Chapter 286

"If you haven't fulfilled your obligations, don't try to exercise your rights!" Xue Jiao's voice became a bit sharp and angry, which was completely different from the past.

Lin Zhihua stood behind Xuejiao and looked at her blankly.

Jiaojiao is protecting him?

This kind of thing is not once or twice, the old man is angry, ordered, angry...

Even his parents would only stand by, and would even succumb to the old man, and then follow along to teach him.

Lin Zhihua used to be too lazy to talk nonsense with them, just out of sight and out of mind.

Locking up the old man and sending his parents out of the country is his way of dealing with it, and it is also his way of dealing with it.

But today, a skinny little girl, a girl he wants to open his arms and keep guarding...

The girl suddenly stood in front of him and said those words that hurt him.

She questioned the old man, for him.

Even under such circumstances, Lin Zhihua's mouth was slightly smiling, and his eyes began to fill with tenderness.

His water jasmine.

The old man Lin was so angry that his eyes almost went dark. The middle-aged man immediately supported him, the old man stopped and pushed the man away.

Then he looked at the two with cannibalistic eyes, his voice trembling: "Lin Zhihua, you let her say that about your grandfather?!"

The old man Lin's eyes questioned, staring at the two of them fiercely.

The corners of Lin Zhihua's mouth raised slightly: "I think she is right..."

"you--"

Xuejiao pulled Lin Zhihua's sleeve and took a deep breath: "Let's go."

Lin Zhihua smiled and said, "Okay."

Xuejiao pulled him and left here, not wanting to see this old man again.

Behind, came the roar of the old man Lin——

"stop!"

No one pays attention to him.

Xue Jiao was angry, she couldn't tell anyone that Lin Zhihua was almost killed, and that was how she was in her previous life.

She wasn't even sure, after she said it, whether the stubborn old man would care that he really killed his grandson.

Lin Zhihua doesn't care about the old man at all, anyway, after this time, he won't let him come out again.

But because... Xuejiao was protecting him, he even thought the old man's jumping was cute.

"Zijiao..." Lin Zhihua looked at the sleeve she was pulling, and his voice was soft.

His voice carried complicated feelings that Xue Jiao didn't understand. Xue Jiao didn't have time to care about these now, and her head, which was burned by anger, calmed down slightly.

He let go of his hand and stopped.

Lin Zhihua looked at her released hand, slightly disappointed.

Xuejiao turned back and looked at Lin Zhihua with distressed eyes: "You...don't be sad..."

Lin Zhihua was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile on his lips: "I'm not sad."

What's so sad about what you're used to.

Xuejiao still felt distressed, she took a deep breath, and then said: "Lin Zhihua, what you taught me, why should we care about people who don't care about us. For people you don't care about, there is no need to let them control your life. If you don't want to get married, or when to get married, that's all your own business, not the things that hurt your relatives."

Lin Zhihua looked at the serious face of the girl in front of him and nodded lightly: "Okay."

He enjoyed the feeling of being cared about by her at this moment, and it would be an unforgettable memory for him.

The warmth of this moment, the warmth that spreads from the depths of my heart, is comforting and joyful.

"Let's not be troubled and obstructed by these words. You are so good, you should live the life you want." Xue Jiao looked at him firmly, her eyes encouraging.

Lin Zhihua smiled and nodded: "Okay."

After a while, he said again: "Zijiao, you have grown up."

Xuejiao froze for a moment, then looked at him blankly: "Huh?"

"Thank you for what you just said." Lin Zhihua continued with a smile.

Xuejiao smiled embarrassedly, a little shy: "Thank you, we are friends, you have always been good to me, of course I will also be good to you!"

Lin Zhihua: "..."

He was silent for a moment, then smiled helplessly.

I just said that she has grown up, but the result is still the same, emotionally not open at all.

His repayment of gratitude and friendship will not be deliberately considered to this point.

This is love.

——

Lin Zhihua sent Xuejiao back to Cheng's house. Cheng Shuo and Li Sitong were sitting on the sofa, holding the list and talking.

Xue Jiao wondered while changing her shoes, "Mom and Dad?"

"Zijiao is back." Cheng Shuo smiled, "We are looking at the list of your entrance banquet."

Xuejiao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that she held the entrance banquet and the coming-of-age ceremony together.

The eighteen-year-old in the previous life passed smoothly, and in this life, there will be a coming-of-age ceremony, and Xuejiao feels a little embarrassed just thinking about it.

"Oh……"

Cheng Shuo beckoned: "My parents have drawn up a list of friends in business."

Xuejiao walked over and nodded obediently.

As Cheng Shuo said before, he took this opportunity to contact all the partners he could contact in Beijing, and Li Sitong also took this opportunity to communicate with other ladies.

"My parents just wanted to ask you, which friends do you want to invite? Originally, I wanted to hold your coming-of-age ceremony and the entrance banquet separately..."

Xuejiao shook her head and smiled indifferently: "It's alright, it's a rare trouble to do together, I have few friends."
