Jiang Xinrou burst into tears again: "Let me die!"

Lin Xiuyan walked to her side, reached out and pinched her chin, saying, "Cousin, do you still remember what you once said to me?"

Jiang Xinrou looked at her with teary eyes, looking utterly pitiful: "Which sentence?"

Lin Xiuyan said slowly, "You said that if you live in this world, you should love passionately."

"So if you meet someone you like, you should love them unconditionally."

"If anyone tries to stop me from being with the person I love, that person deserves to die."

Jiang Xinrou's pupils contracted slightly upon hearing this.

Lin Xiuyan continued, "Zhou Chenyang is my fiancé. The moment I saw him after we reunited, I knew he was the one I would love with all my heart."

“My father had previously considered breaking off my engagement with Zhou Chenyang.”

“I listened to what you said and had a big fight with my father. Since then, he has stopped interfering in my affairs with Zhou Chenyang.”

She suddenly tightened her grip on Jiang Xinrou's chin, causing Jiang Xinrou to cry out in pain.

Lin Xiuyan looked at Jiang Xinrou and said, "But cousin, you slept with my fiancé and ruined this love that I was so devoted to. Should I kill you?"

Jiang Xinrou saw the murderous intent flashing in Lin Xiuyan's eyes, and she felt a pang of fear.

She said urgently, "But cousin, this wasn't my intention. I'm a victim too!"

Lin Xiuyan asked her, "So what?"

Jiang Xinrou now regretted the methods she had used on Lin Xiuyan, which had driven Lin Xiuyan to such madness.

Lin Yunzhi's voice came: "Yan'er, let go of Rou'er first."

He didn't sleep well last night and only fell asleep this morning.

No one told Jiang Xinrou when she returned; he was woken up and rushed over.

Lin Xiuyan turned to look at Lin Yunzhi, whose eyes were filled with obvious anger, so she let go of his hand.

Jiang Xinrou's eyes were red and swollen: "Uncle, believe me, this really has nothing to do with me!"

"My cousin and I have such a good relationship, how could I possibly steal her fiancé?"

She still doesn't know who was behind her misfortune yesterday.

She went to see Zhou Chenyang last night. Zhou Chenyang was very angry about this and thought that she had set it up. She had no way to defend herself.

If she fails to marry Zhou Chenyang this time, her reputation will be completely ruined.

Although Zhou Chenyang didn't say it explicitly, she knew that if she couldn't bring the Lin family's assets as part of her dowry, he wouldn't treat her well.

She thought about it for most of the night, trying to get her hands on the Lin family's assets. The only way she could do this was to play the victim, gain sympathy, and try to make a big deal out of it and then let it go.

She had to win Lin Yunzhi's sympathy so that he wouldn't kick her out of the Lin family mansion; she needed to be married off from the Lin family mansion.

Lin Xiuyan, that good-for-nothing, must die before she marries Zhou Chenyang, so that the Lin family's assets will be hers!

She knew that getting Lin Yunzhi to forgive her wouldn't be easy, so she had to go all out today!

She cried so pitifully that Lin Yunzhi sighed.

Even though Lin Yunzhi was very dissatisfied with Jiang Xinrou at this moment, she was still someone he had watched grow up, and he had once treated her like his own daughter.

At this moment, Jiang Xinrou's eyes were swollen from crying, her face was scraped, and she had injuries on her legs. She looked disheveled, and he felt a little soft-hearted.

Just as he was about to speak, Lin Xiuyan asked from the side, "Where did you go last night?"

Jiang Xinrou was stunned for a moment.

Lin Xiuyan then asked, "After we came back yesterday, you haven't returned. Where did you go?"

Jiang Xinrou wiped away her tears: "I wasn't feeling well yesterday, and since my uncle and cousin were still angry, I spent the night at the clinic."

“Lying.” Lin Xiuyan turned to Qiu Tao and said, “You tell the master where Miss Biao went last night.”

Qiu Tao replied, "After Miss returned yesterday, she said that even if Miss Biao was wrong, she was still family, so she asked me to go and fetch Miss Biao."

"When I arrived at Qizhen Garden, I happened to see Miss Biao leaving in a carriage."

"I followed her for a while and found that Miss Biao entered a private residence."

"I stayed outside for a while, and then I saw the city lord come out from inside."

Jiang Xinrou: "..."

She looked at Lin Xiuyan with some shock.

Lin Xiuyan didn't look at her, but said to Qiu Tao, "Continue."

Qiu Tao continued, "About a quarter of an hour after the city lord left, Miss Biao came out and then went to the clinic."

Lin Xiuyan looked at Jiang Xinrou and asked, "Cousin, can you tell me how you know the location of Zhou Chenyang's private residence since you have no relationship with him?"

Jiang Xinrou: "..."

Even if she were a master storyteller, she couldn't cover up her lie at this point.

Lin Xiuyan looked at her and said, "So there's only one possibility: you and him have been having an affair for a long time."

Jiang Xinrou denied it with red eyes: "I didn't! Yesterday... yesterday..."

Lin Yunzhi shouted, "Enough!"

Jiang Xinrou looked at Lin Yunzhi in shock. He said in a deep voice, "You were brought back by your aunt. It's up to her to decide whether you stay or leave."

"You're not allowed to go anywhere for the next few days; you'll have to stay in your room."

After he finished speaking, he said in a deep voice, "Someone, escort Miss Biao back to her room."

Her two maids helped Jiang Xinrou walk away, one on each side.

Lin Yunzhi sighed deeply and said, "Jiang Xinrou was brought back by your mother after all. Even if we want to kick her out of the Lin family, it should be your mother who does it."

Lin Xiuyan nodded. Jiang Xinrou was her mother's younger sister's daughter, and her mother usually doted on Jiang Xinrou.

Given her mother's temper, if she came back and found Jiang Xinrou missing, no matter the reason, she would probably skin her and her father alive.

So even if we want to deal with Jiang Xinrou, we have to wait until her mother comes back.

Just then, there was another commotion outside the door.

The gatekeeper rushed in and said, "Master, the city lord has arrived."

Lin Yunzhi frowned slightly. He had originally planned to go find Zhou Chenyang as soon as he got up this morning.

Now, things have gotten even worse. Before he could even go looking for Zhou Chenyang, Zhou Chenyang came to him first.

Zhou Chenyang's arrival at this time is likely not for friendly purposes.

Lin Xiuyan tugged at Lin Yunzhi's sleeve and said, "Father, I'll go with you to meet him."

Lin Yunzhi looked at her with some concern, and she smiled slightly: "Father is afraid that I still can't let go of him and might make a mistake, right?"

Lin Yunzhi coughed lightly, his expression slightly embarrassed, and said, "Yan'er, there are countless good men in the world..."

"I know." Lin Xiuyan was afraid that Lin Yunzhi would steer the conversation toward Ye Junfei again, so she quickly said, "Father said that our family is rich and we will never use second-hand goods."

"Whether it's an object or a man, it not only has to be brand new, but it also has to be good-looking!"

Ye Junfei: "..."

Lin Yunzhi: "..."

He glanced at Ye Junfei, feeling incredibly embarrassed. For the first time, he wondered if he had spoiled his daughter!
