【New Red Mansion】Perfect World

Chapter 333: Starting a New Life and Making Up for Past Regrets

The two turned around and found that it was Lawyer Zhen who came.

Xiangling bowed to Lawyer Zhen and replied, "Ms. Lin and the others are in the garden. It's almost time for them to leave. Why don't you go inside and wait for her?"

Lawyer Zhen had no intention of going in. It was a courtyard full of girls, and it would be inconvenient at this late hour. He just had a document to deliver, so he stood still.

"It's okay. I'll wait here."

Xue Wenqi heard that Lin Pin'er was coming back soon, and worried that Li Shuirong would come back with her. He also remembered that every time he saw him, he was always upset and looked displeased.

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Remember to drink it while it's hot." After saying that, he put the takeaway bag on Xiangling's wrist and walked out of the garden in a panic, looking around all the time for fear of being seen.

One has to admire Lawyer Zhen for being a man of hidden talents. It turns out that he has a daughter who was abducted by human traffickers when she was very young. He and his wife have not had any children for so many years. He has been thinking about his daughter and has been looking for her everywhere.

When he saw Xiangling that day, he saw a rouge mole between her eyebrows, which was very similar to his kidnapped daughter. He also found out that she was an orphan, which made him more certain that it was her. He didn't tell anyone, but he went to Lin Pin'er more often and secretly picked up her hair for DNA testing.

The day after the encounter in the garden that night, Jia's mother called Lawyer Zhen to the front hall. Before Jia's mother could speak, he had already handed her the paternity test report.

The reunion of father and daughter was naturally arranged by Jia's mother, who soon decided to seek justice for her daughter. Although Xiangling herself was unwilling to pursue the matter of surrogacy for Li Haoze, saying that she did it voluntarily and her purpose was to find her family, now that she has really found her family, isn't it just a coincidence?

Xiangling is easy to talk to, but Lawyer Zhen is not easy to bully. He didn't want to alarm the snake first, because he knew that Li Haoze really had no emotional entanglement with his daughter, and there was no deception involved. And they handled the surrogacy in California, where surrogacy is legal. But he couldn't swallow this breath, so he secretly investigated Li Haoze.

Only then did he discover some of Li Haoze's gray industries, including some fringe businesses abroad, and he was prepared to use these as a threat to get back what his daughter deserved.

When the couple came to recognize each other that day, Grandmother Jia noticed something was going on and secretly called Lin Pin'er to the inner room to ask her what she thought.

Lin Pin'er sat obediently opposite Lady Jia and listened to her explain the causes and consequences of the matter and the interests involved.

"Grandma, first of all, this is what I think..." She told her grandmother all her thoughts and then listened to Grandmother Jia's opinion.

Grandmother Jia looked at the girl in front of her and was secretly pleased. She had matured a lot since she came back from abroad, and she had taken on more responsibilities and obligations. She was very happy for her.

The day before school started, Lin Pin'er suggested that everyone go out to collect sounds. They could use their phones or computers, or they could prepare their own recording equipment. While the temperature was still warm, they could collect some natural sounds, any sounds they could think of or hear, to be used in music production in the future.

She deliberately brought Xiangling with her and asked her to be in the same team with her, and Yin Yue followed closely behind.

Lin Pin'er and Xiangling went out, turned left and walked along the small path in the garden, chatting casually as they walked.

"Xiangling, do you have a dream? Or let me put it this way, what are your plans for the future?"

Xiangling was slightly stunned: "Do you know that I have recognized my father and plan to let me leave the garden?" Xiangling had something in her heart. She knew what her father was going to do and was worried that Lin Pin'er would one day turn against her for the sake of the Li family. After all, she was the granddaughter-in-law of the Li family.

"How could that be? I can't wait to keep you here! You are very good at tea ceremony. You know, my grandmother likes technical talents like you the most." As Lin Pin'er spoke, she took Xiangling to the gate of Jia Tanchun's courtyard. She held a talk show salon here during the day, and the gate was open.

The two men simply entered the yard but did not go inside. They just stood in the yard listening to the voices, laughter, and applause inside.

Lin Pin'er held up the radio like a fishing rod, and extended the long pole as far as possible under the eaves of the corridor close to the house.

"Hush, they will feel uncomfortable if we go in to record the sound, so we have to hide here and record it secretly." Lin Pin'er playfully made a gesture to Xiangling to silence her, and then squatted down at the foot of the wall. Xiangling also squatted quietly with her, listening carefully to the content of the talk show inside.

The joke being told was about the high price of bride price. The two of them laughed inwardly when they heard the interesting parts, and then quietly left when they had almost finished recording.

Then I went to Jia Xichun's courtyard and just passed Jia Yingchun's courtyard. The gate was closed. I thought Sister Yingchun must have gone out.

Jia Xichun's yard was very quiet, but the gate was open. She must be holding an event. I lowered my head and used my mobile phone to check the content of today's activities on the official website. It turned out that she was holding a salon on bead design.

The sound of large and small pearls falling on a jade plate was so crisp that Lin Pin'er couldn't help but turn on the radio.

After recording for a few seconds, Lin Pin'er finished and turned off the camera, because Jia Xichun wanted to teach, and the sound of her telling everyone about: separating beads, dividing beads, three-way, old back cloud, etc. could be heard.

Lin Pin'er smiled without saying anything, and took her to Li Wan's courtyard. When they reached the gate, she entered the password to open the door.

The scene in the courtyard surprised Xiangling.

There are various metal mechanical statues placed in the courtyard. There is a bronze statue in the shape of a female ballerina that is spraying water out. The water just forms the girl's ballet skirt, like a fountain.

Standing next to it was a silver-white metal swan. Lin Pin'er walked closer to wind it up, and the swan's neck actually turned and twisted left and right, looking vivid and lifelike.

Hanging in the air is a giant toy made of a string of dinosaur fossil bones. The metal texture looks thin and light, and when the wind blows, it will rotate in the direction of the wind, just like the principle of a windmill.

"What do you think of this place? The music box in my yard was made by Jia Lan. It was my 19th birthday present. This is currently a warehouse for his works."

Lin Pin'er walked in while introducing Xiangling. The interior of the house was very warm and had a homely feel.

"That's great!" Xiangling sighed.

"I want to give this place to you to live in. If you don't like the things in the yard, you can move out. I want you to stay with me."

Lin Pin'er's words stunned Xiangling for a few seconds, and then she began to analyze the meaning of her words.

"Let me live here? Why would I deserve that? I think it's good for me to stay with you for now."

"Xiangling, you should have had a better life. It's useless for us to talk about the unfairness of fate now. I just want you to start a new life from today and make up for all the regrets in the past."
