Lin Gantang took the opportunity to call her father while the two of them were in the washroom. Mr. Lin said that he had indeed arranged to meet the two of them, but he did not expect them to be so early.

Mr. Lin said that he would be back soon.

Since they hadn’t taken the liberty to visit on their own, Lin Gantang felt slightly relieved. Lin Mingqing returned to the living room first and started chatting with Gantang. “How’s the bookstore doing? Your second sister saw that you opened a shop and pestered me to help her open a flower shop. How can a flower shop make money now? Isn’t it just fooling around?”

Lin Lingfei was Lin Mingqing’s daughter, and according to the order of siblings in the clan, Lin Gantang could address her as Second Sister.

“Last year’s income was okay. I can’t give any advice on flower shops. Uncle, you’re very experienced. It’s fine as long as you think it’s okay.” After all, she wasn’t close to Lin Lingfei, so it was none of her business what shop they opened.

“If only she was like you, willing to listen to her father.” Lin Mingqing sighed, deeply expressing helplessness at his own children.

He kept talking to Lin Gantang about trivial things and then asked Jiang Tongtong how far along in the pregnancy she was and when she was going to deliver the baby.

Jiang Tongtong was not good at conversing. Unable to withstand his overly enthusiastic concern, she braced herself and changed the topic. “Where’s Eldest Uncle? He hasn’t come down yet.”

“Perhaps he ate something bad. At our age, our stomachs are weaker than that of you youngsters,” said Lin Mingqing.

Lin Gantang rose from her seat. “Where are you going? Aren’t you going to accompany Uncle?” Lin Mingqing asked immediately.

“Get some medicine for Eldest Uncle’s stomach,” Lin Gantang said.

“No need,” Lin Mingqing said. “You don’t need to take medicine for a minor ailment. Sit down.”

Lin Mingqing had never spoken so much to her before, right? Why did he want her to sit here and chat with him?

“There’s a collection of good tea in my dad’s room. I’ll make some tea for you guys to try,” Lin Gantang said tentatively.

“Sigh, Uncle doesn’t know about tea. Don’t waste it. There’s no need to go.”

“Oh, is that so? I’ll go up and get my earphones. Tongtong, stay with Uncle.” Lin Gantang winked at Jiang Tongtong.

Jiang Tongtong didn’t understand at first, but when she saw Lin Gantang’s gaze on Lin Mingqing gradually turn cold and wary, she finally reacted.

“Go, Uncle Lu and I will be here.” Jiang Tongtong nodded at Lin Gantang.

“Eh? It’s just an earpiece…”

Lin Mingqing wanted to say something but was interrupted by Jiang Tongtong. She smiled amiably, making it hard to refuse. “I remember that Uncle likes to drink. There’s a good wine stash at home. Why don’t you pick two bottles and bring them home.”

Lin Mingqing thought that it would be better to bring the few of them together somewhere else. Hence, he wanted to call Lin Gantang. “Gantang, let’s go together.”

After confirming her doubts, Lin Gantang ran up to the second floor.

“Gantang!” Lin Mingqing shouted in shock. “Gantang!”

He was actually informing Lin Mingbai.

Upstairs, Lin Mingbai was sweating profusely as he rummaged through the documents. When he heard the sound, he stacked the documents in his hands messily and hurriedly wanted to leave the study. Unexpectedly, he had only taken half a step out of the door when he bumped into Lin Gantang, who had stormed up.

Lin Mingbai was caught red-handed.

Lin Gantang’s eyes swept over the current state of the study. Her face was as dark as thunder. “I respect you as an uncle, but you actually came to my house to steal?”

“Don’t talk nonsense. I didn’t take anything from your house.” Lin Mingbai refused to admit it. “You’re just a child. How can you speak like that? I’m your elder.”

Lin Gantang glared at him coldly and walked to the desk. Some of the documents and books had obviously been flipped through, and the computer on the desk was lit up, prompting for a password to be entered.

“Did the computer turn on itself if it wasn’t you? Uncle Lu, stop him,” Lin Gantang said coldly. “My dad is back. Let him see if he lost anything..”
