The Introvert is Becoming the Police Station's Beloved!

Chapter 476: Chapter 476: The Brother and Sister-in-Law’s Decision

Nan Xi and Xiao Bo were watching the workers install equipment in the store opposite.

When Lin Xiaoyan silently arrived at the store, she had already sorted out all her emotions.

At the police station, except for the director, nobody knew what He Qi’an was doing.

Lin Xiaoyan didn’t tell anyone either.

"Xiao Yan, the store will be ready today, and we can open for business tomorrow." Nan Xi came over and said.

Lin Xiaoyan glanced around the store, nodded, a little absent-minded.

Her mind was still on He Qi’an, who had left.

Xiao Bo stayed in the store, while Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi went home first.

When she got home, Lin Xiaoyan saw her brother and told him that the store would be open for business tomorrow.

Lin Hao silently nodded.

It was only then that Lin Xiaoyan realized that everyone’s expression was a bit off.

Mom and Dad’s expressions seemed strange.

She looked at everyone, "What’s wrong?"

Lin Fu and Lin Mu glanced at their son and daughter-in-law, both feeling extremely disappointed.

Fan Lalan nudged her husband, but Lin Hao kept his head down.

He was too ashamed to face his sister.

Fan Lalan couldn’t hold it in anymore, she looked at Lin Xiaoyan and said, "Yanyan, your brother and I have discussed it, and we want to go back home."

"Over here in Sea City, the cost of living is too high. Plus, I don’t have friends here, and I stay at home all day. I...I don’t know my way around, and no one keeps me company..."

Lin Xiaoyan listened to her sister-in-law and nodded in understanding.

Back when she was alone in Sea City, she felt the same way.

However, her sister-in-law had it much better; at least her family was around her.

"So, your brother and I have discussed it, and we want to go back home and open a milk tea shop there."

When Lin Xiaoyan heard this, she looked up at her brother.

"Brother, you want to go back and open a milk tea shop?"

Lin Hao slowly looked up, feeling deeply guilty.

"Yanyan, I..."

Fan Lalan immediately said, "Yanyan, we thought that if we return to open the shop, we wouldn’t repay the money we owe you for now. Once we make money, we’ll pay you back together, okay?"

Lin Xiaoyan’s gaze turned to her parents.

Lin Fu frowned deeply, showing clear disapproval.

"Now that Yanyan is back, let’s sit down and discuss this properly."

Lin Fu spoke up.

Upon hearing Lin Fu speak, Lin Hao and Fan Lalan immediately sat up straight.

Seeing the situation, Nan Xi quickly picked up An’an, who was nearby, and took him upstairs to play.

Without outsiders present, Lin Fu looked at his son and daughter-in-law.

"Are you two sure you want to go back and open a shop?"

Fan Lalan nudged her husband.

Lin Hao feared his father the most. He was a bit nervous, but his wife kept nudging him with her foot, so he had to nod.

"Yes."

Lin Xiaoyan was shocked by her brother and sister-in-law’s decision, and at the same time felt uncomfortable.

Adding to He Qi’an just leaving, everything piled up, and she sat there expressionless, looking at them.

Lin Mu saw her daughter’s expression and glared at her son.

Lin Fu looked at his son, eyes full of disappointment, "You only saw that Yanyan’s shop was doing well, but didn’t consider how other shops were doing before making this decision?"

Fan Lalan immediately said, "Dad, recently I’ve visited a lot of milk tea shops in Sea City, and business is generally good!"

"But have you considered that this is a big city, it’s not the same as our hometown!"

"Have you thought about whether it’s suitable to open a shop in our small hometown?

And the costs of opening a shop, do you have the money?"

Lin Fu looked at his son, "Not to mention the money you still owe, your sister gave you such a high salary at her shop, from last year to now, how much have you saved?

Without repaying the money, you’re rushing into opening a shop.

Not even the basic market research has been done!

You’re only looking at Sea City’s situation, without considering our hometown’s situation!"

"It’s because she’s your sister; if it were someone else, they would definitely scold you for this!"

Lin Hao listened to his father’s words, knowing that making this decision was unfair to his sister.

He looked at his sister with a complex expression, "Yanyan, I’m sorry, I..."

Seeing her brother and sister-in-law’s expressions, Lin Xiaoyan suddenly felt a sense of helplessness.

She waved her hand, "Brother, you don’t need to say anything."

Lin Xiaoyan sighed, "The money you owe me, I’ll let it go for now. Since you’ve decided with my sister-in-law to go back, then... you should go."

"Just one thing."

Lin Xiaoyan looked seriously at her brother, "Brother, once you leave the store, I’ll find a new manager. If, if you want to come back, it won’t be possible."

Lin Hao understood his sister’s meaning now, that if he went back home and the business failed, she wouldn’t help him again.

Lin Hao hesitated, knowing that his sister currently paid him a salary of fifteen thousand a month.

This salary is high anywhere, and it’s only this high because he’s her brother.

If he kept working here, he could repay his sister’s money in two to three years.

If he returned home...

Fan Lalan said directly, "Okay, then my husband and I will return home tomorrow and look for a place to prepare to open the shop!"

"It’s just... the money to open the shop, we..."

Lin Mu shook her head, truly not knowing what to say.

Lin Fu directly interrupted Fan Lalan, "Without money, how can you open a shop?"

These words left Lin Hao and Fan Lalan blushing with embarrassment and shame.

Lin Hao immediately said, "We have... we have money."

Lin Fu wanted to say, how much money? Why didn’t you take it out when you owed money!

Lin Mu nudged Lin Fu, stopping him from saying more.

"When you go back, what about An’an? Are we all going back together? Or will An’an stay with us in Sea City?"

Lin Mu asked.

When Lin Xiaoyan heard that her parents were also leaving, she immediately looked up at her brother and sister-in-law.

Fan Lalan immediately said, "Mom and Dad, come back with us. Didn’t you say you’re not used to living in Sea City?"

Lin Fu and Lin Mu: ......

Lin Fu and Lin Mu looked at their daughter, while Lin Xiaoyan looked at her parents. Although she was reluctant in her heart, she knew that if her brother and sister-in-law returned, her parents would definitely go back as well.

"Mom and Dad, you decide, I’ll notify the store about starting work tomorrow."

Lin Xiaoyan didn’t want to sit there any longer, so she went upstairs directly.

Seeing his sister’s demeanor, Lin Hao realized she was angry.

Lin Fu and Lin Mu sighed repeatedly, "What a mess this has become!"

Lin Xiaoyan recalled that last time when she and her brother went home, the operation of the store was also quite good then.

Now she needed to choose one of the remaining employees to be the store manager.

She thought about it and reached out to Li Wen to ask for his opinion.

Li Wen is considered a long-time employee at the store. Although he usually attends classes, he comes to the store every holiday, and he knows the team members’ personalities and work abilities well.

Li Wen happened to be free at this moment, and when he received his boss’s call and learned that the store manager was leaving, he was taken aback.

Hearing his boss inquire about the staff situation, he thought about it and recommended someone to his boss.
