Chapter 137 Distant Brother
Chapter 137 Distant Brother
Yu Jingmo asked in confusion, "Did you leave something at the old house?"
Since she came here, she has only been to the old house once. She remembered that Lin Qingchuan didn't bring anything with him that time. Those were all things that had been left there before.
"I forgot it there when I was a kid, and I want to get it all back."
Yu Jingmo understood, "So let's go now?"
She wanted to go early and come back early, but the boy obviously didn't expect her to be so quick. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Aren't you busy now? I'm not in a hurry."
Yu Jingmo went downstairs directly. "No hurry, I'll change my clothes and go out."
Lin Qingchuan was still standing at the door of the studio, not quite reacting until Yu Jingmo's figure disappeared.
The young man walked downstairs, his face still looking cold, but his brisk steps revealed his mood at the moment.
Before leaving, Yu Jingmo found Butler Lin and said, "Uncle Lin, Lin Qingchuan and I are going to the old house. If I can't make it back for lunch, I will let you know in advance."
Steward Lin nodded, "Is there anything wrong?"
Yu Jingmo wasn't sure whether Lin Qingchuan wanted too many people to know what he was going to do, even though he was just going to get some things.
Lin Qingchuan happened to come over and took the initiative to say, "I want to take back all the things that were placed over there before."
Butler Lin seemed to have thought of something when he heard this, and said with a smile, "It's time to take it back. I probably won't go there often in the future."
After they got in the car, Yu Jingmo asked curiously, "Did you and Lin Hui often go to the old house?"
"No," Lin Qingchuan said, "but sometimes I will stay there for a few days."
"Do any of your relatives usually go to the old house at this time?"
Now that I have asked clearly, I won’t be unprepared if I meet someone later.
Just from the last time I met them I knew that those relatives of the Lin family were not good people.
Lin Qingchuan thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure, but they go there quite often."
Yu Jingmo: "OK, got it."
Half an hour later, the car drove into the iron gate and drove for another five or six minutes before slowly stopping.
The people inside heard the noise and came out.
So before getting out of the car, Yu Jingmo knew that there were more people coming to the old house today than just her and Lin Qingchuan.
The person walking in front saw the license plate and his eyes flickered slightly.
Yu Jingmo got off the car and recognized the man in front with his good memory.
She raised her red lips slightly, "Isn't this my distant cousin?"
In fact, she couldn't quite remember whether Lin Ku was older or younger than Lin Hui, but it didn't matter.
Lin Ku's expression suddenly turned ugly, then returned to normal, and then he smiled in surprise, "What a coincidence, you guys are coming to stay for a few days too?"
Lin Qingchuan had already gotten out of the car at this time. Hearing this, he said coldly, "No."
Yu Jingmo didn't notice Lin Ku's stiff expression, but looked at the person who was slowly approaching behind him, his eyes slightly closed, "Yu Chun?"
"Jing Mo, how can you call your uncle by his name? You are becoming more and more rude!" Yu Chun immediately frowned and scolded.
Yu Jingmo found that he glanced at Lin Ku secretly while speaking.
Even without that glance, she could feel that something was wrong with these two people.
After all, it is quite strange that Yu Chun appears here.
It took only a second for Yu Jingmo to think so quickly. He ignored Yu Chun and turned his head to Lin Qingchuan and said, "Let's go in and pack our things."
As she spoke, she walked around them and went straight inside.
Yu Chun's face turned pale. Noticing Lin Ku frowning, he immediately turned around and chased after him, shouting, "Yu Jingmo! You..."
Yu Jingmo asked Lin Qingchuan to go upstairs to collect the things. She waited downstairs and said, "Collect them slowly and try to get them all done in one go."
Lin Qingchuan glanced at Yu Chun and the other man who followed him, frowned slightly, "Why don't you come up with me?"
Those two people were obviously up to no good, and he was a little worried.
Yu Jingmo waved his hand, "It's okay, go ahead, I'll just sit here for a while."
Seeing that she looked calm and relaxed, Lin Qingchuan also relaxed a little. After a pause, he hurried upstairs to finish the work and leave as soon as possible.
At this time, the housekeeper of the old house heard the news and hurried over. When he arrived in front of Yu Jingmo, there was already sweat on his forehead.
"Ma'am, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were coming. I'm so rude."
Ever since the last problem, the housekeeper of the old house was replaced by Lin Hui. The current one is a newly hired one, who looks to be around 40 years old and has an elite temperament.
Yu Jingmo: "It's okay, please give me a cup of lemon tea."
"Okay, wait a minute."
After the housekeeper left, Yu Chun and Lin Ku sat opposite Yu Jingmo.
Lin Ku glanced upstairs, then quickly looked back at Yu Jingmo, smiling and saying, "What are you and Xiaochuan doing here this time?"
Yu Jingmo took a small bunch of washed grapes and asked, "Why, you can't come if you have nothing to do?"
"Of course not," Lin Ku still had a friendly smile on his face, "I just wanted to see if there was anything I could do to help."
Yu Jingmo finished eating the grapes, his expression was indifferent, "No, although you may be more familiar with this place because you come here frequently, but this is our house after all, I think it may be more convenient for me to find a maid."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Lin Ku's cheeks twitching and he could not maintain the smile on his face.
The property certificate of the Lin family's old house is in Lin Hui's hands. After that incident, except for the housekeeper, almost all the servants in the old house were replaced.
Some of them relied on the fact that they had stayed in the Lin family for decades and wanted to take advantage of Lin Hui by taking advantage of their seniority, but of course they were driven away in the end.
As for those who passed away very well, Lin Hui gave them a considerable pension.
Now the network of relationships among people in the entire old house is no longer as complicated as before.
Lin Ku felt aggrieved when he thought about the polite yet distant treatment he received every time he came here during this period.
He had finally bribed a few elderly people in the old house, but because of Yu Jingmo, the whole thing was back to the time before liberation!
Lin Ku turned his head and glanced at Yu Chun, his eyes full of suspicion and viciousness.
Thinking of the previous transaction conditions, Yu Chun had no choice but to look at Yu Jingmo, "Jing..."
"Uncle, what are you doing here? Why don't you see Aunt? Did you have a fight?"
Yu Jingmo saw the entire argument between the two and simply interrupted Yu Chun.
Yu Chun's cheeks twitched a few times, "Why are you talking nonsense, kid!"
Yu Jingmo was surprised. "I didn't say anything nonsense. I saw my aunt angrily saying that she would go back to settle the score with you!"
"That's enough!" Yu Chun said in a bad tone, "This is my family affair, you, a junior, shouldn't interfere too much!"
Yu Jingmo picked up another bunch of grapes and slowly leaned back against the sofa. "Well, I'm just a junior and I really can't take care of anything."
"Then please go somewhere else if you want to talk and don't disturb me."
She had a smile on her face and said it in a cold tone. Then she pretended that the two of them didn't exist, turned on the TV, tuned to Animal World and watched it with relish.
Yu Chun and Lin Ku's complexion visibly worsened at the same time.
