The Introvert is Becoming the Police Station's Beloved!

Chapter 451: Chapter 451: Ai Lin Invites Lin Xiaoyan to Be Bridesmaid

Nan Xi: "Auntie, please sit down, I’ll go and serve."

Lin Fu: "Xiao Nan, you sit down, let your auntie serve."

Fan Lalan saw this scene, feeling uncomfortable inside, knowing that this was her in-laws showing her.

Lin Hao quickly said, "Mom, Sister Nan, both of you sit down, I’ll serve."

He quickly ran to the kitchen and brought out the meals for the two.

"Lanlan, come eat."

Fan Lalan didn’t say a word, washed her hands, then sat down and ate.

Xiao Bo glanced at Lin Fu, Lin Mu, and the silent Fan Lalan, feeling that something was off.

The atmosphere was a bit strange.

He looked at Nan Xi and said, "Sister Nan, shall we go to the club tomorrow?"

Nan Xi nodded, "Sure."

Xiao Bo stood up, "Then let’s rest early so we can go early tomorrow."

Lin Fu heard the two’s conversation and said, "Xiao Nan and Xiao Bo, you should go rest, go rest early."

Hearing this, Nan Xi stood up as well, "Okay."

After the two left, Lin Fu and Lin Mu exchanged a glance, then looked at their son and daughter-in-law.

Lin Hao noticed his parents’ gaze and quickly said, "Dad, Mom, I know what you want to say, today Lanlan already talked to me, she said something wrong today, don’t mind it."

Lin Fu listened to his son, looking at the daughter-in-law who wasn’t speaking with her back to them, he didn’t say anything either.

Lin Fu was afraid Nan Xi and Xiao Bo would feel uneasy if they heard it.

After the two finished eating, Fan Lalan took the dishes to the kitchen to wash them.

Lin Hao walked to his son and played with him.

Lin Fu said in a low voice, "Come to our bedroom in a while."

Lin Hao paused and nodded, "Okay."

After Fan Lalan took their son back to the bedroom, Lin Hao went to his parents’ bedroom.

"Dad, Mom."

Lin Fu nodded, "Sit here, let’s talk."

Lin Hao obediently sat down.

Lin Mu didn’t speak, folding clothes to the side.

Lin Fu looked serious as he spoke to his son, "Son, this morning your mom said some things, your wife probably felt uncomfortable hearing them."

Lin Hao quickly said, "I know, Lanlan talked to me this morning, she admitted she was wrong.

Mom, don’t be mad either, Lanlan didn’t mean it that way."

Lin Mu’s face was cold, "Whether she meant it or not, I don’t know, but from now on, it’s best she doesn’t!

Lin Hao, you might not be home during the day, but you should know what’s going on with Xiao Nan and Xiao Bo.

Apart from protecting Yanyan, they help with everything at home."

Lin Hao: "Mom, I know, even if I’m not at home, I know. Lanlan doesn’t understand Sister Nan’s situation, so she misunderstood."

Then, Lin Hao recounted his wife’s words to his parents.

Hearing their son’s words, Lin Fu and Lin Mu looked up, giving him a cold stare.

Lin Hao avoided their gaze.

Lin Fu: "What are you thinking? Agreeing with your wife’s plan to go back and open a milk tea shop?"

Lin Mu: "You haven’t even paid back the money Yanyan lent you before, and now you want to go back and open a shop. The shop money, the equipment money, the stock money... what do you plan to do with these?"

Lin Fu waved his hand, "You go ahead, you two discuss among yourselves, but don’t come crying for divorce if you lose money.

Next time, your mom, sister, and I won’t bother with you two anymore."

Lin Hao felt a pang in his chest, he remained silent.

After a moment, he got up and left.

Back in the bedroom, Fan Lalan was coaxing the child to sleep.

"What did Dad and Mom say?"

Fan Lalan immediately asked when she saw her husband return.

Lin Hao shook his head silently, he sat down, eyes on his son, lost in thought.

Seeing her husband like this, Fan Lalan didn’t dare to say anything.

However, her desire to go home and open a milk tea shop was very strong.

When there’s a chance, she’ll persuade her husband!

Lin Xiaoyan stayed at He Qi’an’s place for two days, just about to go home when she received a call from Sister Lin.

"Be a bridesmaid?"

Lin Xiaoyan was surprised, she had never been a bridesmaid before.

The two arranged a place to meet.

In a café, Lin Xiaoyan saw Sister Lin, looking blissful.

"Sister Lin!"

Lin Xiaoyan greeted Ai Lin with a smile, "Congratulations, Sister Lin."

Ai Lin, seeing Lin Xiaoyan, immediately invited her to sit down.

"Thank you, sit down. What would you like to drink, I’ll order it for you."

After the coffee arrived, Ai Lin looked at Lin Xiaoyan somewhat apologetically, and said, "Because I don’t have many friends here, and as for colleagues, you know, it’s okay to be colleagues, but as friends, forget it.

So I thought of asking you to be my bridesmaid."

Lin Xiaoyan: "Sure, when is it? Where?"

Ai Lin was delighted, "Xiaoyan, you agreed?"

Lin Xiaoyan nodded with a smile, "Yes, I agree. I’ve never been a bridesmaid before anyway.

But, I don’t know the customs of the groom’s family, there won’t be any bridesmaid pranks, right?"

Lin Xiaoyan suddenly remembered this and recalled the time she met a young woman at the foot of Min Mountain, who was a bridesmaid for a friend...

Luckily, that young woman ended up fine.

Ai Lin quickly assured, "No, I’ve told my boyfriend, and he has spoken to his family, ensuring that there will be no pranks at the wedding."

Lin Xiaoyan nodded, "Sister Lin, when are you getting married? You never mentioned it last time."

Ai Lin smiled sweetly, "Actually, we’ve been preparing all year, but since I work at the company, I didn’t dare mention it, fearing the company would find out I’m getting married and then..."

In today’s society, especially in the workplace, there’s very little tolerance for women.

"I’ve worked at the company for so many years, there are many girls coming for interviews, if they plan to get married, or are married but don’t have children yet, they won’t be hired.

Before, there was a manager in our department, when I first arrived, she got pregnant with her second child that year.

The manager was quite capable, but after she had the kid and returned, she found her work had been allocated to others, and company resources were taken away.

She was demoted, and finally left due to being ostracized."

Lin Xiaoyan: "I’ve read a lot about similar things online too, sigh, so what about you? Have you told the company about your wedding?"

Talking about this, Ai Lin’s smile faded, "I told the manager a week ago, and there’s still no response."

"Really?"

"I’m getting married next Tuesday, it’s already Friday, I have no idea what the company is up to."

"They can’t just fire you, can they? That would be too disgraceful."

Ai Lin shrugged, "Who knows, but I can’t just delay my marriage for this lousy company!

I’ve been with my boyfriend for many years, both our families keep urging us to marry and have kids.

It’s our seventh year of dating this year."

Lin Xiaoyan was amazed, "Oh my, seven years!!!"
