Lin Yan rarely cared about the passage of time.

So when I went to pick up Zhong Qing, I was yelled at by Gong Chanjuan for a gift, and I realized that today happened to be Christmas on the 225th.

"Sweet... It's a coincidence to put it this way. I was just thinking about what the theme of tonight's party would be. It turns out it's Christmas." Lin Yan touched his forehead.

"Looking at your tone, I must not have prepared a gift, right? Do you have a boyfriend like you? It's really not romantic at all!" Gong Chanjuan expressed her injustice on Zhong Qing's behalf.

Lin Yan and Zhong Qing looked at each other, and seeing Zhong Qing pouting as if dissatisfied, she said sheepishly: "It's still early, let's go to the mall to buy a big doll together?"

"I'm not a child anymore, why did I buy that? Let's forget it. Let's go." Zhong Qing tried to look more natural, "You have to pick up Chen Yunhan later. Don't waste time."

"Who is Chen Yunhan?" Gong Chanjuan leaned her head over and asked, sensitively smelling something. When Zhong Qing and Chen Yunhan met in private, Gong Chanjuan didn't know about it either.

"She's his godmother, she's very beautiful." Zhong Qing explained calmly and got into the car.

Lin Yan coughed lightly, patted Gong Chanjuan, and said, "Look what I'm doing, get in the car and leave..."

"There's something fishy, ​​there's definitely something fishy!" Gong Chanjuan hummed.

When Zhong Qing and the others were brought to the bar, there were many people standing at the door.

Lin Yan squeezed in and took a look, only to realize that the bar was closed today, leaving many old customers confused and dissatisfied.

After all, today is Christmas, and many people want to come to such a special bar to have a romantic relationship at night, but the door is not opened.

How can you do this?

Hu Yike did not come out to explain in person, but sent a manager to laugh and apologize.

Others were still watching, but two of them were very aggressive, pointing at her and insisting on going in.

Lin Yan has a sharp eye, and he can tell at a glance that these two people are interested in the nouveau riche. There are several beauties around them, so they have to compete for face.

"Don't they know who Hu Yike is? How dare they show off their wealth here." Lin Yan clicked his tongue and couldn't stand it anymore. He stepped forward and asked the manager, "Is everything ready?"

Of course the manager knew Lin Yan. He said softly and said hurriedly: "Are you here? Everything has been arranged and you can enter at any time."

"Let's go." Lin Yan thought that those two guys were probably going to cause trouble for him, so he took Zhong Qing and Gong Chanjuan one by one and walked inside.

Sure enough, those two people quit. They jumped over and stopped Lin Yan: "Hey, hey, who are they? Why can they go in, but we can't?"

"You don't care who I am... I've booked a spot in this bar tonight, of course I can go in." Lin Yan said with a smile.

"So it was you who arranged the show! He looks quite rich, right?" One person saw Lin Yan bringing along two women, Zhong Qing, who were both more beautiful than their female companions. They were very jealous and said sourly.

The other one slapped his chest and said, "We also have plenty of money. We will pay double what you pay! Boss, what do you think?"

"I'm sorry, sir, if you want to book the venue, you'd better wait until tomorrow night. Mr. Lin has booked it for tonight. We can't change it anymore," the manager said.

The man's smile faded and he said coldly: "Do you think I'm being polite when I smile at you? Don't be so shameless."

Lin Yan raised his eyebrows, already noticing something was wrong.

These guys seem to be here specifically to stir up trouble!

Once he saw through this, Lin Yan stopped talking nonsense, stepped forward, grabbed him by the collar, and said in a low voice, "I've seen through your tricks... It's best to get out of here right now!"

"What are you doing? Do you want to fight? Who is afraid of whom? Let me go! Fuck you -"

Before he could say the word "Mom", Lin Yan threw him directly onto the road.

A car suddenly braked and stopped only half a meter away from him.

If he was one step slower, he would not be able to escape being crushed.

This made his arrogant expression stiffen and his face turned pale with fright.

Others were also shocked.

The driver in the car was about to put his head in to curse, but when he saw so many people surrounding them, as if they were fighting, he didn't curse, reversed the car, turned around, and ran away.

"You damn crushed me to death and you have to pay with your life, you know?" The man got up and cursed in fear.

Lin Yan slowly took out the iron rod, stepped forward and said, "If you don't leave, your leg will be broken. Three, two, one!"

"Wait!" The man turned around and ran away, and his accomplices also dispersed.

Lin Yan remained silent for a while, smiled, and said to the somewhat dull Gong Chanjuan: "What's wrong? You were frightened by my fierce temperament. You don't dare to be cruel to me in the future, right?"

Gong Chanjuan swallowed her saliva, stamped her foot again, raised her head and said, "No way, Zhong Qing is here to protect me, what can you do."

"You definitely wouldn't dare to rape first and then kill. You can consider killing first and then raping. Haha, let's go, go in!" Lin Yan pushed them to prevent Zhong Qing from gouging herself out.

As soon as you enter the bar, you can see that the decoration here is obviously Western-style, and the Christmas atmosphere is fully set off. The three-meter-high Christmas tree with lights flashing is very eye-catching.

"Wow, so beautiful!" Gong Chanjuan praised.

"Where's your boss?" Lin Yan asked the manager.

The manager hesitated for a moment and said softly: "The boss seems to be in a bad mood and a little uncomfortable. He has been in the lounge on the third floor."

"Oh, I've been to the lounge, I don't need you to take me with you. I'll go take a look." Lin Yan knew something was wrong, so he asked Zhong Qing and the others to stay and climbed the stairs alone.

Zhong Qing glanced at Lin Yan's back, a look of worry flashed in his eyes.

Hu Yike is such a beautiful woman with such a profound background. If Lin Yan is tempted...how should he deal with it?

"What's wrong? Is the owner of this bar a woman?" Gong Chanjuan rolled her eyes.

"Let's sit over there for a while." Zhong Qing smiled.

Lin Yan reached the third floor, knocked on the door, and turned the handle.

The door was not locked, so Lin Yan went in directly.

The curtains inside were drawn and the lights were not turned on, so it was pitch black.

When Lin Yan opened the door, the street lights outside formed a quadrilateral and extended inside.

But it still didn't shine on Hu Yike's chair or her.

In the dark, Hu could hold his chin in one hand, as if he was in a daze.

When she saw Lin Yan, she immediately turned her chair around, wiped her eyes with her hands, and sniffed at the same time.

"Why are you crying?" Lin Yan stepped forward quickly and turned on the lamp.

After staying in the dark for a long time, when the light suddenly appeared, I couldn't help but squint my eyes.

Lin Yan looked at her condescendingly and asked with concern: "What happened?"

"Grandpa is sick, very serious..." Hu Yike said softly.

"It's really like this." Lin Yan was not surprised. He had already speculated in this regard.

Sighing, Lin Yan didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only say: "He has worked hard for the country."

"..." Hu Yike couldn't help but roll his eyes at Lin Yan.

Lin Yan said: "So, he will retire before he can wait for the normal process?"

"Yes. He has retired." Hu Yike said, "He has been lying in the hospital now. Although his life is not always in danger, it is very likely that he will be lying in bed for the next time."

"Why did you suddenly lose the ability to walk?"

"I don't know, anyway, I was suddenly diagnosed with a tumor." Hu Yike said, "As soon as something happened to grandpa, the family was also in chaos. So many messy things happened all at once. I'm so annoyed."

"bother?"

"Well. Now that grandpa has retired, the influence of our Hu family will naturally be greatly reduced. So the family members who were not very anxious before are now urging me and my brother to go on a blind date every day to have a flash marriage." Hu Yi

But he struggled and said, "Maybe I'm still single today, but in a few days, I'll be married."

"So fierce." Lin Yan's eyes widened and he said angrily: "You, the children of officials, are always good, but you are also unlucky at critical moments. Who do you like? Who do you want to marry!"

Looking at Hu Yike's beautiful cheeks, and thinking about the several "accidental" situations that had happened between her and her before, when I heard that she was getting married, any man would feel very regretful.

"You want to marry me to the son of a deputy minister in Beidu, whom you don't know." Hu Yike said.

"Is he handsome? What's his character like? What's your impression of him?"

"Handsome is just so-so. Just like you, he can barely get by."

"..."

"My character should be better than yours. I haven't heard of anyone fighting with me. She probably doesn't like to cause trouble."

"..."

"My impression of him... still remains a few years ago. We met several times at that time. We also met once recently. He was younger than me and felt a bit childish in his thinking. There was nothing to talk about. Alas -"

Hu Yike couldn't help but sigh again.

"It seems that you are not satisfied with him at all." Lin Yan came to a conclusion and asked: "Do you think the marriage of the younger generation can keep the family revitalized?"

"In a country with China's characteristics, we don't say it can be revitalized forever, but it can really be extended." Hu Yike said, then looked up at Lin Yan and said strangely: "Why do you suddenly care about such a profound issue?
