Chapter 207: Chapter 206: Appearance

Lin Xia and Jiang Mingyuan rested during the day and attended classes at Yecheng University in the evening.

Ji Man had many speculations about the two not showing up for several days.

Since there were no classes on Saturday and Sunday night, she thought they wouldn’t come today either.

After the class, as they were leaving, Ji Man specifically held onto Lin Xia and asked, "Lin Xia! Why haven’t you guys come for so many days? I thought something might have happened!"

"I went with my elder brother to the provincial city to stock up!" Lin Xia explained to her.

"Ah! No wonder! Then, can I come to your stall the day after tomorrow to hang out?" Ji Man’s workplace had been quite busy recently, so she hadn’t had time to visit the greenhouses.

At the same time, she took the opportunity to sort out her feelings for Jiang Mingyuan, realizing that she liked this man more deeply than she had thought.

Since the man was unmarried and the woman was unmarried, and Jiang Mingyuan had not confessed to Lin Xia, she no longer minded his coldness towards her.

On the contrary, the colder Jiang Mingyuan acted, the more she felt that he was a dedicated and good man when it came to relationships.

Under normal circumstances, Lin Xia would not have refused, as she quite enjoyed hanging out with Ji Man.

But considering that Lin Aiguo and the others might come to her stall at any time to settle accounts, she didn’t want Ji Man to be inadvertently involved.

"Ji Man! You better not come to my stall recently! Wait for a while!"

Ji Man didn’t expect Lin Xia to say this, feeling wronged, "What? Lin Xia! Aren’t we friends anymore?" She truly regarded Lin Xia as a close friend.

Even though she had approached Lin Xia with the purpose of getting close to Jiang Mingyuan, she still considered Lin Xia a good friend.

Even though she knew that Jiang Mingyuan liked Lin Xia, and she had felt sour about it, she never harbored any jealousy or resentment.

Lin Xia knew she had misunderstood, but she had never spoken to Ji Man about her family situation, so it was really hard to explain it in a word or two now.

"Ji Man! Don’t misunderstand! How could I not be friends with you! It’s just that something happened at home, and they might come to my stall to make trouble and fight, so I’m worried it might affect you in the process..."

Protecting her alone was hard enough for her elder brother, and adding Ji Man to the mix, what would they do if a real fight broke out?

"Ah! So that’s what’s going on!" Ji Man felt relieved, as she had been really afraid that Lin Xia was ignoring her.

Seeing the worry in Lin Xia’s eyes, she readily said, "Okay, then I’ll visit some other time!"

"Great! You’re welcome any time once they calm down!" Lin Xia and Ji Man joked and laughed a few more times before waving goodbye.

Jiang Mingyuan patiently waited under the big tree outside Yecheng University, waiting for Lin Xia to walk up to him, and the two walked shoulder to shoulder.

Ji Man pushed her bicycle, frowning as she watched their retreating figures. She had known Lin Xia for a while and seemed to have only seen her siblings.

Why would Lin Xia’s family need to fight and make a ruckus?

The next day, Lin Xia and Jiang Mingyuan set up their stall together.

As they were arranging the merchandise at the stall, a male stall owner from the adjacent stall came over to Jiang Mingyuan and whispered a few words to him.

After he left, Lin Xia, who had been paying close attention, quietly asked Jiang Mingyuan, "Elder brother! Did those people come by?"

She had caught everyone’s attention as soon as she appeared there today.

Though no one said anything, their glances said it all.

Jiang Mingyuan didn’t hide it from her, "Yes! And I heard they came twice. Apart from your stepmother and her daughter, your aunt also came with your father!"

"My cousin!" Lin Xia scoffed, true sibling love indeed.

Who knows if later her grandmother and uncle would also take turns causing trouble!

She understood that if these people kept causing trouble endlessly, although she wasn’t afraid with her older brother there, it was not possible to fight and deal with everyone. She still needed to think of a new plan.

"Lin Xia! Don’t be afraid! I’m here for you!" Jiang Mingyuan knew that dealing with these relatives and elders was difficult! There might still be several fierce battles to fight.

"Yes! Big brother! I’m not afraid with you here!" Lin Xia was incredibly grateful to have Jiang Mingyuan by her side. Otherwise, what could she have done alone?

As for when those people would come, no one could guess, so for safety, Jiang Mingyuan chatted for a while with Liu Peng, who was passing by the stall, with his arm around his shoulder.

Lin Xia managed to sell her goods calmly all morning, but her heart was always on edge, not knowing when Lin Aiguo and the others would suddenly show up.

In the end, what was expected always happened!

Lin Aiguo arrived with Lin Aijia, followed by Chunli and her daughter, the four of them appearing together at the greenhouse.

As soon as they appeared, they attracted the attention of the stallholders.

The reason was simply that the incident involving Lin Aiguo and Lin Xia was too shocking.

Lin Xia and Jiang Mingyuan were busy selling goods and also saw the few people approaching angrily.

Lin Aiguo’s eyes, poisoned with fury, were fixed on Lin Xia, who stood indifferently in the stall. He wished he could just slash her with a knife!

He gritted his teeth and bellowed, "You brat! Finally showed up!"

They had come twice before and had missed catching anyone each time.

Today, he had also come through the fog to check, not expecting Lin Xia to dare continue selling at the stall.

No matter what, he would not let Lin Xia go. He wanted to beat her half to death and smash her stall! See how she could be arrogant then!

He had inquired about it. He was her biological father; smashing the stall and beating Lin Xia was just a family conflict. The public security bureau would only mediate and couldn’t do much to him!

If the man by her side really hit him and his sister, at their age, they would severely extort him, and in any case, they would not let him off easy!

Lin Xia coldly watched the few people standing in front of her stall, Lin Aiguo at the front with a gaunt face pale as iron, clearly having not had a good few days.

Lin Aijia stood by his side, lips tightly pressed, eyes filled with blame and disdain.

Chunli and Lin Yu stood beside them, their eyes although ferocious, they didn’t step forward, likely planning to watch the excitement from the sidelines.

Just as Lin Aiguo was about to start his attack on the stall, Lin Aijia grabbed his arm, "Big brother! Let’s clear things up with words first!"

She originally had no idea that Lin Xia was setting up a stall in the greenhouse. It was only while working that she received a call from Anding Hospital and found out her brother had been sent there by Lin Xia.

It was also then that she learned Chunli and her daughters had headed to the greenhouse to settle scores with Lin Xia, only to be detained instead.

After they were released, they actually incited her brother to seek revenge on Lin Xia, leading to what followed.

When she found out, her heart condition almost flared up from anger!

Using a knife on her brother was already domineering and now even more terrible deeds had been committed. She really couldn’t understand what was going through Lin Xia’s mind now!

Lin Aijia loudly accused, "Lin Xia! No child acts like this! At the end of the day, he’s still your biological father! How could you heartlessly send your dad to a mental hospital?

What could possibly justify such cruelty? Your dad gave birth to you, raised you, and this is how you treat him?" If she had a child like that, she probably would have been infuriated to death by now!
