Transmigration: Flirted with My Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 691 - 690: Caught Red-Handed

Beijing housing has never been cheap, only expensive, more expensive, or prohibitively expensive.

These days, houses are not openly tradable and fall under the "expensive" category.

Lin Nianhe roughly estimated that with Wen Lan’s savings from the past two years, buying a small courtyard house wouldn’t be a problem.

This matter wasn’t easy to discuss with Comrade Old Lin directly, so she just laughed it off casually and linked her arm with Mr. Lin’s, walking with him towards the station exit while laughing.

Su Yuncheng, carrying the luggage of both, followed behind, dutifully playing the role of the prospective son-in-law.

"Dad, where is mom? And my brother? How is Grandpa Ji’s health? Uncle Huang isn’t planning to drag me to the Foreign Trade Department, is he? Did Wen Qingqing and Wen Ruannuan take the college entrance exam?"

Lin Nianhe had countless questions.

Mr. Lin, hearing his daughter speak, was all smiles, resembling a Maitreya Buddha, nodding and replying, "Your mom has a meeting today; your brother went to Sui City, he’ll be back in a couple of days."

"Elder Ji has been recuperating well recently, though you might get scolded if you visit!"

"Old Huang? He wouldn’t dare! My daughter, if there’s something you don’t want to do, nobody can force you. Don’t worry about him, just learn whatever you want."

"The two Wen girls didn’t take the college entrance exam; they are doing quite well in the Cultural Troupe..."

"By the way, what about Yufei? Did you guys not come back together?"

As they were about to reach the compound, Comrade Old Lin finally remembered Yufei.

"He’s shooting a film at the Forest," said Lin Nianhe, "He said he might be back before the New Year."

"Hmm, that’s good then," Mr. Lin nodded, "His dad is waiting to beat him up."

Lin Nianhe: "..."

It seems the beating for Fourth Sie was inevitable regardless.

The three of them got out of the car at the entrance of the compound, where the gatekeeper Uncle Zhang poked his head out: "Oh ho, our top scholar is back!"

"Uncle Zhang, you’re busy huh," Lin Nianhe greeted him with a smile, "I brought back some special products for you, pine nuts from the Northeast, very fragrant. I’ll bring them over to you later."

"Very good, thank you."

Uncle Zhang smiled joyously.

On the way home, they bumped into many people.

Comrade Old Lin stood tall and proud, announcing to everyone: "Yes, my daughter is back!"

As the national top scholar, Lin Nianhe also received much attention.

She always remembered to be "humble": "Oh no, I was just lucky, guessed a few questions right."

Then she received even more praise.

Comrade Xiao Lin was also very joyful.

Once home, Mr. Lin glanced at Su Yuncheng and said: "Come in, let’s eat."

"Alright."

Lin Nianhe’s luggage had arrived home early.

Besides special products, there were clothes, bedding, and books, and she had tucked away anything that wasn’t suitable for others to see in her space.

Aunt Lin had already tidied up her room, and all clothes and bedding had been washed again.

Mr. Lin suddenly asked: "Oh right, my girl, your mom said that your light-colored wool coat is missing, where did you put it?"

Lin Nianhe was perplexed: "Ah? I don’t know."

Where did she put it?

Where could it be?

Could it not have been packed in Su Yuncheng’s package?

She nervously clenched her fingers.

Mr. Lin thought she was worried about the lost coat, comforting her: "It’s okay, if it’s lost, dad will buy you another one, let’s eat first."

Dinner was purchased from the canteen. When they were halfway through, Mr. Lin’s secretary came seeking people.

Comrade Old Lin immediately put down his chopsticks, putting on his jacket as he said, "My girl, take a good nap this afternoon. Your mom and I probably won’t be back tonight. Lock the door, and if there’s anything..."

He glanced at Su Yuncheng again.

Su Yuncheng nodded: "I won’t leave the house."

"Um."

Comrade Old Lin’s work could not be delayed, and he hurriedly left.

The door closed, and Lin Nianhe immediately put down her chopsticks, looking anxiously at Su Yuncheng, "Brother Yuncheng, I saw that coat when I was packing my luggage just now, it might have gotten mixed up with your clothes!"

"Let’s eat first, we’ll look for it later," Su Yuncheng said. "My parents won’t open my packages."

"Okay!"

Indeed, Su Yuncheng’s packages had not been opened; Mr. Su and Mrs. Su just put them in Su Yuncheng’s room.

Su Yuncheng had been in Hei Province for nearly five years, so he had quite a lot of luggage.

The two of them unpacked in Su Yuncheng’s room until it got dark, and finally found Lin Nianhe’s coat in the last package.

Lin Nianhe: "So, actually, my good exam results have nothing to do with luck."

"It’s really all about ability!"

She habitually cheered herself up, hugged the coat and said, "I’ll return the clothes first, then we’ll go to the cafeteria to eat, and afterward I’ll help you organize your luggage."

"No rush, we’ll talk about it tomorrow."

Saying this, Su Yuncheng also put on his coat, and went back with her to return the clothes.

While Su Yuncheng was locking the door, Lin Nianhe suddenly heard the familiar sound of footsteps and an even more familiar voice speaking.

"Look, the lights are still off, our daughter must really be exhausted this time. Old Li told me on the phone, they almost didn’t catch the train..."

Mr. Lin’s voice suddenly stopped.

He stared at the two people at the Su family’s doorstep, one of whom looked like a carbon copy of his daughter.

"Dad, Mom..."

Lin Nianhe instinctively hugged the coat tightly.

Didn’t they agree not to come back tonight?

Dad was lying too!

Aunt Lin didn’t think too much about it, she smiled and ran over to hug her daughter, then patted Su Yuncheng on the arm, "Are you tired? Haven’t you had dinner yet? Come on, don’t go to the cafeteria, let’s eat at home."

Su Yuncheng smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Lin Nianhe leaned in Aunt Lin’s arms and whispered, "Mom, I think my dad is about to pull out a gun."

"Don’t mind him."

Aunt Lin soothingly patted her daughter’s back, took her by one hand, and took Su Yuncheng by the other, and boldly walked past Mr. Lin back home.

Lin Nianhe quickly changed shoes and was about to run upstairs with the clothes when her father called her back, "Nianhe, what are you holding in your hand?"

"Ah?"

Lin Nianhe blinked, and with a dry laugh said, "Hahaha, it’s a wool coat, I just remembered I left it in Brother Yuncheng’s suitcase..."

Comrade Old Lin, having spent half his life outwitting the most cunning people, saw Lin Nianhe’s lie as child’s play.

Mr. Lin: "Tell the truth."

Lin Nianhe: "..."

Tell the truth?

Would he even believe her if she dared to tell it?

Su Yuncheng suddenly spoke up, "When she came back from the autumn trade fair, Nianhe left her wool coat on the train and I brought it back to the provincial city."

Lin Nianhe quickly glanced at Su Yuncheng.

If he ever tries to deceive me in the future, it’s going to be hard to tell.

Comrade Old Lin was a bit puzzled: "Then why not just say so?"

Lin Nianhe was quick to respond, her cheeks flush, she quietly said, "I was afraid you might think I was living with Brother Yuncheng..."

Comrade Old Lin abruptly turned and glared at Su Yuncheng: "He wouldn’t dare!"

Su Yuncheng promptly stated: "Um, I wouldn’t dare."

Lin Nianhe: "I can vouch, he wouldn’t dare."
