Chapter 248 Tai Chi
Looking at the old man's appearance.
Lin Cijin asked blankly.
"Dad, what is it you wanted to see me about today?"
He also wanted to pick up his little one from school.
He suddenly received a message from his father and rushed over, then stood there for most of the day.
He was worried that something might have happened to the old man.
But the old man just stood there tending to the flowers and plants, without answering him.
Lin Cixi felt her heart pounding.
He considered many possibilities.
Unfortunately, the old man didn't say a word, so he could only stand there and wait, his mind wandering.
Now that the old man had finally put down the scissors, Lin Cixi couldn't wait to ask him the question.
After hearing his question, the old man did not ignore it as he usually did.
Instead, she turned around and looked in his direction.
"Can't I ask you to come and keep me company if there's nothing wrong?"
The old man looked at Lin Cixi and snorted through his nostrils.
Clearly, he was very dissatisfied with Lin Cixi's question.
However, nothing else was mentioned.
This actually put Lin Cixi at ease.
Moreover, the old man had never actually said such a thing to him.
The old man has always been very serious.
He had never heard the old man say anything like "come out and keep me company."
Thinking back on all these years, they have indeed been constantly traveling and rarely returned to their hometown to visit the old man.
At first, the old man told them to do what they needed to do and not to bother him.
But when Lin Cixi thought about it carefully, she realized that the old man had actually wanted them to stay with him all these years, hadn't he?
Just like him, before Lin Meng had fully regained consciousness.
Lin Cixi herself felt that she could live a good life on her own.
But after Lin Meng regained consciousness, he had a lovely little nephew and niece.
He couldn't help but keep running to their house.
If it were any other time, Lin Cixi might not have known how to react when she heard Old Master Lin suddenly say such a thing.
But at this moment, he grinned and went over to her.
"How could that be? Dad, you can come to me anytime you want."
Grandpa Lin was taken aback by his third son's reaction. He glared at him but didn't say anything more.
Lin Cixi accompanied Grandpa Lin back to the living room and chatted for a while.
But then Master Lin's tone changed.
"That variety show you participated in before, has it started airing now, right?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Cixi couldn't help but cough.
He was subconsciously flustered, and when he noticed the suspicious look in Old Master Lin's eyes, he immediately said...
"Cough cough cough, Dad, I never expected you would know about my variety show, hahaha."
Old Master Lin snorted, "What, shouldn't I know?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Cixi instantly felt a surge of panic.
However, he had to pretend to be calm on the surface.
Thanks to his years of experience as a movie star, Lin Cixi believed that his performance in front of the old man was quite normal.
He tentatively looked in the direction of Old Master Lin.
"Dad, why are you suddenly asking about this? I remember you never used to look at this kind of thing."
As she spoke, Lin Cixi's voice grew weaker and weaker.
He felt guilty in front of Old Master Lin.
What if the old man has already watched his variety show and knows that the little brat called him uncle on the show... then wouldn't everything be over?
They were originally planning to let the young man build a good relationship with the old man before slowly revealing the truth about this matter.
But these days, the old man seems to have lost interest in his granddaughter.
They didn't let Lin Ciyu bring the little brat into the old house again.
But unexpectedly, the old man suddenly asked about his variety show.
Lin Cixi's heart pounded, and she couldn't help but wonder if the old man had already watched that variety show...
However, after observing the old man's expression, he couldn't discern anything from it.
After hearing his words, the old man remained expressionless and calmly picked up the teacup in front of him.
"Don't you know why I asked you that?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Cixi's heart pounded wildly.
He really wanted to yell at the old man.
He doesn't know, he really doesn't know, please just tell me!
But after picking up his teacup, the old man calmly began to sip his tea.
There was absolutely no intention to offer him any advice or guidance.
Lin Cixi asked, "Could it be because... I kept that matter from you?"
As she spoke tentatively, Lin Cixi kept glancing at Old Master Lin's face.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Lin's eyelids twitched involuntarily.
It was one thing for him to be playing charades, but then this brat started playing charades with him too!
The old man snorted coldly, refusing to fall for the trap.
"What are you hiding from me?"
Even if that brat wants to play games with him, he'll have to see if he'll take the bait!
Lin Cixi took a deep breath and kept looking in the direction of the butler.
The butler wiped his sweat and frantically gave him meaningful glances.
The master is unaware of this, at least not in his understanding.
Please don't expose yourself!
Lin Cixi, "..."
He can not understand.
At this moment, his rapport with the butler dropped to zero.
Lin Cixi was completely numb.
What should he say?
He has no idea just how much the old man knows!
With her eyes closed, Lin Cixi spoke.
"Dad, you know everything... I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have kept it from you."
Correct!
He immediately admitted his mistake!
Regardless, what he said is not wrong.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Lin was so angry he laughed.
Upon hearing this, the butler finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
Thankfully, his third young master is no longer the simple-minded man he used to be.
Old Master Lin stared at Lin Cixi for a while before looking away.
"Over the years, I have never looked at your works carefully, let alone seen you on a variety show. So today, let me take a good look at you."
