Chapter 784: Chapter 784: If You Have the Guts, Don’t Run

Xinyan also nudged her with her shoulder: "Alright, I won’t be polite with you then. Let’s go, I’ll treat you to something good. Order whatever you like today."

Jiang Peiqin laughed and put her arm around Xinyan’s shoulder: "I’ve been waiting for this sentence from you."

At the Beijing Clothing Factory, Lin Kaixin couldn’t hide the smile on her face when she thought about the recent orders.

She was about to leave after work but got held back by the sales department, listening to them go on and on.

She’s just a designer, so talking to her about shipping isn’t going to be useful. Right now, all the workshops in the factory are working at full speed, we can only queue up and wait.

Thinking about what the factory director said to her today, she figured she should find some time to visit Xinyan.

On the bus ride back to the research institute housing complex, she saw from afar her little nephew playing with iron rings alongside the two little ones from the Ye Family.

She called out towards them: "Little Fatty Lin."

Upon hearing the call, her nephew’s face lit up with joy, and he ran towards her, but halfway there, he stopped and said seriously, "Don’t call me Little Fatty Lin anymore, I have a proper name. Call me Lin Weidong."

Lin Kaixin wanted to tease her little nephew: "But I just love calling you Little Fatty Lin, it sounds so endearing."

Lin Weidong was not having it: "I’ve grown up, and soon I’ll be going to elementary school with Ye Sili, you can’t call me Little Fatty Lin anymore."

The little frown on his face was so amusing, it seemed that if you didn’t agree, he’d never speak to you again.

Lin Kaixin was worried she might actually upset the little guy, so she quickly changed her tone: "Alright, auntie knows now, I’ll call you by your full name, Lin Weidong, in the future."

Little Lin Weidong smiled upon hearing his aunt’s promise.

Seeing how quickly he changed expressions, Lin Kaixin muttered, "What a little rascal, it’s a pity you’re not performing Sichuan opera."

An adjacent neighbor greeted Lin Kaixin: "Kaixin, you’re back?"

Lin Kaixin responded with a smile: "Yes, I’m back. Aunt Xu, where are you off to?"

Aunt Xu glanced around: "Going to check on the Lou Family ahead."

Lin Kaixin, who always loved a bit of gossip, asked, "Aunt Xu, what’s up with the Lou Family?"

Aunt Xu finally found someone to talk to, having been stifled all day: "The Lou Family’s youngest daughter isn’t actually their biological child, she was adopted. This morning, her biological parents came looking for her."

Lin Kaixin was truly unaware of the Lou Family’s situation: "So what happened next, did they take her back?"

Aunt Xu shook her head: "I don’t know, the Lou Family invited those people inside directly, and none of us outside heard what they talked about. Afterwards, I was busy going back to my parents’ home for a wedding, so I left.

Now that I’m back and done with my tasks, I’m going over to see what the situation is."

Though Lin Kaixin was also curious about gossip, her mother was watching her, so she had to tell Aunt Xu: "I won’t keep you then."

She added in a whisper: "If you hear any new news, remember to come back and let us know."

Aunt Xu agreed and waved goodbye.

Mrs. Lin saw her daughter coming closer and said: "You haven’t sorted out your own matters, stop meddling in others’ affairs."

Lin Kaixin saw her mom turn and head into the courtyard, she then made faces and gestured wildly behind her back, only to be caught red-handed by Mrs. Lin who turned back suddenly.

Mrs. Lin lifted her hand ready to pinch her ear, but Lin Kaixin laughed and ducked, "Mom, I’m dying of thirst, let me go have some water first."

Mrs. Lin was both angry and amused: "If you have the guts, don’t run."

Lin Kaixin laughed out loud and responded: "If I don’t run, my ears will suffer."
