Seventies Sweetheart: From Breakup to Billionaire-Chapter 315: Treating It as Their Own

Chapter 315: Chapter 315: Treating It as Their Own
"Do you still want to stay in Beijing? If you do, start breaking your preconceived notions now. Afraid of not speaking foreign languages well? We’ve got Lin Xiang in our dorm, let her help us out. As the saying goes, ’Sharpen your weapons at the last moment, even if they’re not bright, they’ll at least shine!’"
"I’m extremely honored," Lin Xiang smoothly continued Zheng Miaoyue’s words. "If you want to broaden your horizons at the Sui Trade Conference, start learning foreign languages with me from tomorrow. I can’t promise that you’ll speak fluent foreign languages in over twenty days, but basic communication with foreign merchants will definitely be no problem."
With Lin Xiang’s assurance, Wu Yan’s little worries were completely shattered.
"Still cold and standing around? Hurry up and get to sleep! Wake up early tomorrow to study!"
"We at room 51102 are a team; we can’t disgrace Xiangxiang and Yueyue!"
Being with friends is always joyful, and Lin Xiang had temporarily forgotten the little troubles and unhappiness brought by Cheng Jinyun.
The next morning, just past six-thirty, Lin Xiang, still dreaming about buying a courtyard, was vigorously shaken awake by Qian Miaomiao.
"Lin Xiang, Teacher Lin! Weren’t you going to teach us foreign languages? Why are you still sleeping?"
Lin Xiang yawned and handed the notebook hidden under her pillow to Qian Miaomiao, "You four, during breaks, copy everything from this notebook. A good memory is not as reliable as a worn-out pen. I can guarantee that if you sincerely copy this content once, your foreign language level will greatly improve."
After all, this notebook contains a teacher’s many years of experiences in learning foreign languages.
While transcribing, Lin Xiang had incorporated some simple yet effective methods. She didn’t believe that after copying the entire notebook, Wu Yan and others would have no reaction if they had any insight.
Qian Miaomiao merely flipped through two pages and treated it like a treasure, then went with her roommates to copy it.
Lin Xiang turned over and went back to sleep.
How nice, she could stay cozy in bed for another hour.
At five in the afternoon, with all classes over, Lin Xiang lazily packed her textbooks.
Normally at this time, she would definitely have said goodbye to her roommates and dashed over to Xingfu Restaurant.
But at the thought that Cheng Jinyun was having a matchmaking meeting with another young woman at Xingfu Restaurant today, Lin Xiang didn’t want to go back.
Yet she dreaded Mrs. Lin’s relentless questioning, so after procrastinating until six, she returned to the dormitory to complete today’s homework before heading to Xingfu Restaurant.
After all, the school year had started, and everyone’s time had become tight. There were significantly fewer people coming to Xingfu Restaurant to eat and watch TV.
But there still wasn’t an empty seat available, and quite a few people were gathered by the TV.
Compared to the bustling scenes during the National Day holiday, it was at least a third less crowded.
Fortunately, Mrs. Lin had become accustomed to this disparity, so when preparing meals today, she specifically instructed to reduce the amount to avoid waste.
When everyone had left, Mrs. Lin and the aunts who helped clean up Xingfu Restaurant, after distributing today’s rewards, urged everyone to leave.
"The movie isn’t finished yet. Let’s wait a bit longer before we go."
"It’s the same few movies played day after day; we’ve memorized all the plots by heart. Missing a bit won’t affect much," Mrs. Lin continued to hurry people out. "Everyone’s worked hard all day, go home early to rest. See you tomorrow!"
After everyone left, Mrs. Lin closed the main door of Xingfu Restaurant, leaving only a small door open.
Outside, the aunts didn’t scatter to their homes but gathered to chat.
When they saw Aunt Wang leading their daughter into Xingfu Restaurant, Aunt Zhang poked her neighbor’s arm, "See, I told you. Wang Chunhua is trying to introduce her daughter to Zhao Xiuli’s son!"
"Wang Chunhua’s daughter must be twenty-three by now, right? I heard from Xiuli that her son is only twenty-two and loves eating, she’s a year older than him!"
"Exactly! She just has the advantage of being good-looking, but her conditions for choosing a partner... tsk tsk, I predict today’s match will definitely not work out!"
Too bad, once Wang Chunhua and her daughter entered Xingfu Restaurant, Mrs. Lin shut the door, preventing any eavesdropping.
Upon entering Xingfu Restaurant, Wang Lijing began looking around.
"These tables are made of solid wood, must’ve cost quite a bit, right?"
"Not too much. The expense is indeed not low, but good quality wood lasts longer in usage, so the overall cost isn’t much higher."
"Why aren’t the booths in the back open? If they’re not open, why make them in the first place? Isn’t that just wasting space?"
Lin Xiang: ...
"The floors upstairs must be booths too, right? Why so many booths in such a nice house? Tear out all the booths later and revert them to normal rooms. Oh, and build a new staircase from the back, otherwise, each time you go upstairs, you have to pass through the lobby; there’s no privacy at all."
"Putting such an expensive TV here, aren’t you afraid it’ll get stolen? Take the TV home later; I have to watch TV every night to fall asleep."
"And..."
Wang Lijing, acting like an inspector from the moment she entered, didn’t greet Mrs. Lin, Lin Xiang, or Cheng Jinyun but instead pointed out a pile of flaws.
And from her tone, she seemingly considered Xingfu Restaurant as her own property.
Including the land Lin Xiang had bought and the house she paid to build, was presumed to be hers.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
Upon hearing Lin Xiang’s question, Wang Lijing paused before responding, "Didn’t your mom tell you? I’m your brother’s match!"
Lin Xiang rolled her eyes, almost sky-high, "Comrade, my brother doesn’t even know your name, age, or occupation, how did he end up dating you?"
She turned to ask Cheng Jinyun, "Secretly dating her?"
Cheng Jinyun shrugged, "I’m wronged, I don’t even know her!"
Well, now he didn’t have to rack his brains over how to reject this relationship without hurting his mom. Wang Lijing’s actions had already thoroughly disappointed Mrs. Lin and Lin Xiang.
They should no longer force him into matchmaking, right?
"I’m Wang Lijing. Didn’t your mom tell you?" Wang Lijing pointed at her own nose, "With your family’s attitude, I’m very angry. If you don’t apologize, I can’t continue dating you!"
"That sounds wonderful!"
Lin Xiang walked over to open the door, making a gesture for her to leave, "Since you’re not impressed with my place, could you please step outside?"
"You... that’s too much!"
Wang Chunhua didn’t expect the Lin Family to be so disrespectful, and immediately questioned Mrs. Lin, "Didn’t we agree that the two kids would date? Look at your daughter’s attitude, if my dear Lijing marries in, who knows how she’d be bullied!"
