My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 1273: Chapter 1273: Sir Lin’s Considerations

Lin Wei rubbed his swelling forehead. These past few years, his health had been deteriorating, though he still appeared hale on the surface.

He always kept a stoic face around others, but speaking to his wife of many decades, he finally voiced out his true feelings.

“Actually, I don’t dislike that girl. The kid named Rong Yan, although her background isn’t great, doesn’t have other issues. Her personality also meets the standards of our Lin Family; it’s just that Shengxiao has a fiancée. Before her family came knocking, I could turn a blind eye. But now that they’re here in Capital City, if our family doesn’t make a statement and still supports them, who do you think will suffer?”

Lin Wei closed his eyes, speaking in a tired voice, “It’s Shengxiao who will lose out! We can’t control others; we can only choose to protect our own.”

Old Madam Lin sighed, then said no more.

…

On the other side, Rong Yan was angrily dragged out by Lin Zhiya, just as Cui Jiangjing and Fu Yi, who were together, arrived.

“Mrs. Lin, Rong Yan, oh, and Little Baby? What are you doing out here?” Cui Jiangjing, who was familiar with Lin Zhiya from childhood, sauntered over and asked.

Lin Zhiya kept a stern face, “Someone doesn’t welcome us here, so I took Yanyan out.”

“Who would that be?” Cui Jiangjing casually asked.

Fu Yi kicked him on the calf, eliciting a yelp from him, who then turned around and grumbled, “Are you crazy, kicking me like that? Damn, that hurts, I should kick you back!”

Fu Yi was fed up with the fool, giving him a stern look, “Shut up for a bit!”

“I didn’t say anything… Ow…” He then realized his mistake and immediately looked at Lin Zhiya with a guilty face.

Lin Zhiya, coming with Little Yan Rong to Madame Lin’s birthday banquet, besides that stubborn old general, who else could have ‘not welcomed’ them?

He sneaked a glance towards Rong Yan and noticed she seemed composed. He pursed his lips, unsure how to comfort her.

Fu Yi, being smarter, pondered for a while and then suggested to Lin Zhiya, “We haven’t seen Mrs. Lin in a long time; since we bumped into you, let’s all have dinner together.”

“Yes, yes, let’s all eat together!” Cui Jiangjing came around and strongly agreed!

Lin Zhiya, though still upset, didn’t want to spoil it for others. Her frown softened as she said, “Yanyan and I will go eat; you guys should continue enjoying the birthday banquet.”

Cui Jiangjing teased with a chuckle, “My parents are inside; one more or one less of me makes no difference. Meeting Mrs. Lin is rarer than this event. Fu Yi is right, it’s not often we meet; let’s all have dinner together. Unless~”

He winked his flirty eyes, “unless our stunning beauty here would refuse to give us face and dine with us.”

“Pfft!” Lin Zhiya laughed, blooming like a flower, and teased him, “You’re not young anymore, still calling me a beauty. Someone might laugh their teeth off hearing that.”

“How is it not suitable? Beauty is like wine, it requires aging to become exquisite! Mrs. Lin, you are like finely aged wine, a sight that intoxicates me.”

“You smooth talker, I’m going to tell your mom.”

“No, no, I was wrong, I was wrong. Little Yan Rong, please put in a good word for me.” Cui Jiangjing acted dramatically, instantly lightening the heavy atmosphere.

Fu Yi, more composed, let the valet bring around the car, and when it was time, he opened the door, helping everyone into the vehicle.
