C209 Wishing You a Happy Birthday
C209 Wishing You a Happy Birthday
They had all perished together. This was the result of the two of them together. If they had to die, then both of them would go to hell!
Lin Qingfeng's madness had caused her facial features to gradually twist, and the restless hands she had were the source of her increasing hatred for Summer.
She had nothing left, so she could ignore everything!
She didn't have the chance to start over in her life. She could only continue moving forward while feeling pain on her face …
At the banquet of the Lin Family, all of them were happy and harmonious, the close relatives of the Lin Family elders added up to a total of thirty people.
Lin Qingfeng busily went back and forth, receiving and taking care of Lin Ruolan. Lin Dengke's birthday was unusually lively today.
"Sir, a lady called 'Summer' called herself a birthday present."
The housekeeper respectfully reported. What he received was Lin Qingfeng's shaking of her hand, and she threw the bowl of fish soup onto the ground.
For a time, the joyous atmosphere froze. Everyone couldn't help but be curious as to who exactly this "summer" was.
"Dad, I …"
Lin Qingfeng was at a loss for words. She didn't know why summer would come at this time. She subconsciously looked at Lin Dengke. She was afraid that she would be exposed on the spot.
And if she had to fight the summer on the spot, she really would have nothing left.
She knew that as long as she stayed here during the summer, she would walk further and further away from Pei Yichen, so she no longer wanted to explore this road. Her only backer was her Lin Family, so she didn't dare imagine what kind of situation she would face if she lost her Lin Family.
"Bring her in." Lin Dengke waved his hand with a smile. He wanted to meet someone who could shock his youngest daughter to such an extent.
Lin Ruolan smiled as she held Lin Qingfeng's hand and comforted her with a gentle smile. She thought that her sister had some conflict with her work during the summer, and she had always been protective of her sister, so if someone bullied her sister, she would definitely protect them, regardless of who they were.
In the summer, the housekeeper brought her to the dining room. She felt a bit sad.
Looking at the antique decorations, she almost cried.
Years ago, this had been her home.
But because they trusted each other wrongly, because they were unable to recognize each other because of his carelessness over and carelessness.
The moment she saw these family members, she really wanted to drag Lin Qingfeng and Lin Dengke to the hospital to do an appraisal.
However, she wasn't the impulsive little girl from five years ago. If she said it out loud, no one would believe her, just like they did back then. This time, she would use her own methods to make Lin Qingfeng show her face.
"Summer, what are you doing here?"
Lin Qingfeng walked up to Xia Zhi with a hint of warning in her eyes.
"No matter what, I called Directer Lin's godfather for a long time before, but because of some matters, I had to leave in a hurry without saying goodbye. Now that I'm back, I naturally have to come and greet him." Xia Xinyan smiled, "No matter what, I called Directer Lin's godfather for a long time before, but then because of some matters, I had to leave in a hurry.
Although her voice was calm during the summer, Lin Qingfeng could hear that it sounded a bit weird. She was even at a loss as to what she should do during the summer, so she didn't even know how to resist.
"Since summer has come, we will be guests. Qingfeng, invite the guests to take a seat."
Lin Ruolan thought that the two of them would have their differences due to a purely job disagreement, so she decided to play a round robin.
"Big Sister Ruolan, it's really been a long time since we've had a good talk, it's just that today is a feast of Lin Family, it's a little sudden for me to come uninvited. I won't disturb any of you guys having this wedding present."
Summer politely handed the embroidered box in front of Lin Dengke, a little regretfully said, "Father Lin, this was the only thing that I carried with me when I was lost by my family. Later, someone even used it, so I gave this precious gift to Father Lin and wished you a happy birthday."
She had a calm smile on her face, but her heart throbbed in pain. Was there anything more despairing than not being able to immediately recognize one's loved ones?
Once, she told her elder sister that she was the child they had been looking for. However, her elder sister looked at her with a disappointed and questioning gaze, telling her that there was no need for such a …
She didn't blame her family, nor did she hate Lin Qingfeng for interfering. She only blamed herself for trusting others lightly!
How dare he hand such an important matter over to someone else so easily?
Thus, this time, unless there was absolutely no mistake, she would definitely not speak up.
"Such a precious item, isn't it inappropriate?"
Lin Dengke hesitated and didn't accept the summer gift.
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became stiff and quiet.
Xia Xia put the box on the table, "There is nothing suitable, I think, once fate has come, everything will be clear. Uncle Lin, I wish you and Big Sister Ruolan — —"
This was her own sister. Even if she didn't believe in her, she didn't complain at all. It was just that she trusted Lin Qingfeng too much and feared that Big Sister Ruolan would be harmed, so she had to remind her.
"As a sister of another, Big Sister Ruolan must be investigated thoroughly. Don't be fooled by others one day, you don't even know about it."
The summer's words were plain, without criticism or much emotion. However, it made people feel inexplicably solemn.
Lin Ruolan frowned. She didn't know why, but she subconsciously glanced at Lin Qingfeng who was standing beside her. She felt that the "sister" Xia Yan had mentioned was Lin Qingfeng.
According to her usual style of doing things, she would definitely refute Xia Xinyan immediately. She would protect this little sister that she had searched for many years to find behind her back, but for some reason, Xia Zhen's sincere eyes made her speechless for a moment.
Lin Ruolan's attitude also made Lin Qingfeng feel a bit of fear, and she subconsciously wanted to drive away for the summer.
However, before she could open her mouth, Xia Xia beat her to it and said, "I've given you the wedding gift. I have nothing else to do, so I'll be leaving first. Goodbye."
Summer was just like this. Under the gaze of everyone, he indifferently left, just like when he came. He didn't give anyone a chance to welcome him or not.
Lin Qingfeng's words were stuck in her throat as she watched summer leave the villa on Lin Family at a leisurely pace.
Everyone froze on the spot, not knowing what to say. They only felt that this summer girl seemed to be extremely baffled.
She came for no reason, her gifts were unfathomable, her words were unfathomable, and she left just like that. She was even more unfathomable!
However, it was precisely this kind of mysterious person that caused Lin Qingfeng to accidentally break a bowl on her father's birthday banquet, which caused Lin Qingfeng to frown and Lin Dengke to fall into deep thought.

This sort of thing had never happened in their home before, so for a moment, no one knew how to advise him against it.
Lin Qingfeng's gaze was fixated on that beautifully wrapped box. She didn't know why, but she felt that her sky was collapsing little by little. She felt that the item in that box must be that pair of bracelets!
Even if she said countless times that she lost her bracelet, when this pair of bracelets really appeared in front of Lin Dengke's eyes, what kind of mood would he have? Would he even suspect her?
She didn't dare to take the risk!
Therefore, the best way was to exchange the bracelet before Lin Dengke saw what was inside. Then, he said that he found it somewhere else. Only by doing this could he perfectly explain this matter!
"I don't know what it is. Father, I'll put it in your room first. I'll take a look after dinner."
Lin Qingfeng tried her best to make her voice sound normal, but Lin Dengke was someone who had been in the mall for a long time. With his wise eyes, he still noticed his daughter's resistance to this summer.
From her appearance to the gift she sent him, his youngest daughter really didn't want him to come into contact with her.
"Ruolan, put me in the study first."
Lin Dengke lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. He had already made up his mind. For him, the one he trusted the most was his eldest daughter, who grew up by his side.
Lin Ruolan's heart skipped a beat. She vaguely felt that this matter was not as simple as she had imagined. She immediately nodded and took a step forward, bringing the gift box with her to the study room upstairs.
Lin Qingfeng bit her lower lip. She didn't know why, but she started to suspect if her father was already suspicious of her.
What happened was only a matter of ten minutes. Everyone continued to eat and drink as if they had never seen summer.
However, Lin Qingfeng couldn't help but look in the direction of the study. She couldn't rest at ease even if she couldn't see what was inside with her own eyes.
She cursed the summer over and over in her heart, resenting her for being a nuisance, for destroying her happy life over and over again.
At last, on the grounds of going to the bathroom, she slipped into the study.
The moment she left, Lin Dengke signaled Lin Ruolan with his eyes. Lin Ruolan had grown up under her father's tutelage, so of course she understood her father's meaning. She immediately stood up and walked towards the bathroom without saying a word.
Lin Ruolan walked towards the bathroom, only to find that even though the bathroom door was locked, there was no sound coming out. She frowned and recalled Lin Qingfeng's strange attitude, making a guess.
Actually, she didn't want to be suspicious of her family, but Lin Qingfeng had been acting strangely recently. Whether it was out of concern for her sister or a desire for the truth, she chose to walk to the study room quietly.
Lin Qingfeng quickly entered the study and immediately saw the box on the desk. After observing that there was no one around her, she quickly opened the box with her fingers. Seeing that there was actually a pair of bracelets inside, anger flashed across her eyes.
This summer, he actually wanted to lead his father to be a paternity test!
With her here, this beautiful dream of summer was still better left untouched. She would not allow such a thing to happen!
Lin Qingfeng quickly found the scissors to cut off a strand of hair and put it in. Then she took out the summer hair along with the table. Looking at the hair in the box, a sneer appeared on her face.
Then she would let them have no relations at all. If that was the case, no matter how much of a monster they were in the summer, it would be something irrevocable.
Lin Ruolan saw what Lin Qingfeng was doing and slightly frowned. She did not understand what Qing Feng was doing.
Lin Ruolan left silently, returning to her seat as if nothing had happened and sat down on her seat without a word.
While drinking with his brother, Lin Dengke turned around and glanced at Lin Ruolan, who seemed to be deep in thought. Lin Dengke looked back at Lin Ruolan, who was drinking with his brother, and looked deep in thought.
Sensing her father's gaze, Lin Ruolan also lifted her head and smiled. It was a smile filled with pride like her orchid.
No matter what, no one would say anything today. Anything could be resolved after a few days.
When Lin Qingfeng returned as if nothing had happened, Lin Ruolan merely smiled faintly. She suddenly felt that she was unable to see through this strange little sister of hers.
Sometimes, people were like this. Once a seed of doubt was planted in the bottom of their heart, it would constantly sprout, grow, and irrigate them from all sorts of small matters. In the end, they would grow into towering trees, forcing them to search for the truth.
From this moment onwards, his cheerful and harmonious Lin Family began to become no longer calm.
On the other hand, Lin Qingfeng acted as if nothing had happened and continued to take care of all the guests and arrange the banquet as the mistress of the main house.
Lin Ruolan looked at her little sister and suddenly felt that everything around her had become completely fake. She didn't know if her little sister was worthy of her trust.
Had she been sincere about everything she had ever had?
She was a stubborn person. She couldn't help but want to ask Xia Qingfeng about the reason behind her actions today. She wanted to ask if she knew anything about Qingfeng.
Lin Qingfeng didn't know anything about her sister's expression and confusion. She was like a courtesan as she wandered amongst the crowd. She enjoyed the feeling of being held by everyone. Only at this moment would she feel that everything she possessed was real and would not be taken away by anyone!
After leaving the Lin Family in the summer, her entire body was like a deflated ball, looking a little dispirited and listless. She didn't know what she should do.
Today was her biological father's birthday, but she couldn't congratulate him as his daughter. She felt an inexplicable sense of sadness …
