Chapter 371 Drugging

capital.

Jiang Ting picked up Lin Yufei's parents at the train station.

Lin's mother looked at Jiang Ting and said, "Ting, we need to call Yu Fei first and ask him to come see us. We need to talk to him about annulling the engagement."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ting's eyes flashed.

Judging from Aunt Lin's words, it seems they're starting to soften their stance on annulling the engagement?

Let's talk first?

If Lin Yufei insists on not marrying her, then they will grant Lin Yufei's wish.

She absolutely will not allow such a thing to happen!

She had originally invited them to persuade Lin Yufei to submit a marriage proposal to her now, but if they were turned against her by Lin Yufei, wouldn't she be shooting herself in the foot?

She rolled her eyes and said, "Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin, Brother Yufei has been on a mission for the past few days and won't be back for a few more days."

Lin's mother frowned. "Yufei went on a mission? But we only took a few days off."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ting also looked troubled. "You know, there can be missions anytime, anywhere in the military. Brother Yufei was injured during a mission before, and I took care of him for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Lin's mother exclaimed, "What? Yufei is injured?"

Jiang Ting reassured her, "Aunt Lin, everything is alright now, don't worry."

When Lin's mother learned that Jiang Ting had taken care of her son when he was injured, she immediately looked at Jiang Ting with a kind expression and said, "Good girl, thank you for your hard work."

Jiang Ting: "It's no trouble at all, it's what I should do. But Brother Yufei is on a mission now, and his return date is uncertain. Do you want to go back first?"

Lin's parents immediately discussed it.

They felt that their son was indeed of marriageable age, and if this continued to drag on, they, as parents, would be anxious.

Since we're already in the capital, why not resolve this all at once?

If their son really doesn't want to marry Jiang Ting, they can find him other girls.

Lin's mother looked at Jiang Ting and said, "Ting, we plan to stay in the capital for a while longer until Yufei comes back."

Jiang Ting's expression stiffened almost imperceptibly.

Then Jiang Ting smiled kindly and said, "Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin, I originally booked a room for you at the guesthouse, but since you decided to stay a while longer, I'll rent a room for you to stay in for a while. It will be better than staying at the guesthouse. You're unfamiliar with the area, and I've taken a few days off to take good care of you for Brother Yu Fei."

She was lying to them when she said Lin Yufei was going on a mission.

Originally, we wanted them to go back directly, but we didn't expect them to wait for Lin Yufei to return in the capital.

Soon, Jiang Ting had a plan in mind.

Since she wasn't by her parents' side, she couldn't fulfill her responsibilities as a daughter-in-law. She planned to make a good impression in the next few days to get her father on her side.

Lin Yufei's parents agreed to rent a house for her to live in.

Lin's mother only had one son, Lin Yufei. Although she and her husband were very satisfied with Jiang Ting, a college student, their son called home several times to say he wanted to break off the engagement. The couple also reflected on whether Jiang Ting was really not suitable for their son.

They originally planned to call their son after getting off the train so they could meet and have a heart-to-heart talk, but their son was away on a mission.

Since their son had gone on a mission, Mr. and Mrs. Lin stayed at the house that Jiang Ting had found for them.

Over the course of a few days, Mr. and Mrs. Lin were well taken care of by Jiang Ting, who was considerate in every way.

Lin's parents were initially wavering because their son insisted on breaking off the engagement, but after a few days of care from Jiang Ting, their minds started to wander again.

It's not that they absolutely need Jiang Ting, but the fact that she got into university means she's established herself in their eyes.

The couple, one a cadre in a cotton mill and the other a cadre in a steel mill, really looked down on people who hadn't gone to university.

There are many college students nowadays, but it's not easy to find one you know well.

After taking care of Lin Yufei's parents for several days, Jiang Ting felt that this couldn't go on.

Since they insist on seeing Lin Yufei, then let them see him.

Jiang Ting touched the medicine in her pocket, and took the opportunity to drug Lin Yufei.

If she becomes pregnant with Lin Yufei's child, he will have no choice but to marry her.

She had used protection when she had sex with Lin Yufei during her school years, so she never got pregnant.

It seems that ever since Lin Yufei was injured during a mission, she rarely had the chance to see him, let alone have a relationship with him.

After joining the cultural troupe, there were even fewer opportunities in the army.

She wanted to find an opportunity to ask him to leave the army, but Lin Yufei was unmoved and made it clear that he wanted to distance himself from her.

Two days later, Jiang Ting told Lin's parents that Lin Yufei had returned from his mission.

But she instructed that Lin Yufei should not mention the mission, as it was a matter within the military.

Jiang Ting's reminder was also to prevent Lin's parents from letting it slip, since she had lied to them about the mission.

Upon learning that his parents had come to the capital, Lin Yufei immediately took two days off and went to where they were staying.

When I arrived at my parents' house following the address, they were cooking inside.

As soon as Lin's mother opened the door for her son, Jiang Ting came out with the freshly cooked dishes. Upon seeing Lin Yufei, she was overjoyed and said, "Brother Yufei, you're here! I just finished cooking. Please sit down and I'll serve you some rice."

Lin Yufei's expression darkened upon seeing Jiang Ting. "What are you doing here?"

Seeing her son's bad attitude and tone, Lin's mother immediately slapped him on the shoulder, "Yufei, what kind of attitude is this?"

Seeing that Lin's mother was protective of her, Jiang Ting knew that her efforts over the past few days had not been in vain.

Lin Yufei wanted to say something, but seeing this, his father said, "Alright, let's eat first. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it later."

Lin Yufei had been strictly controlled by her father since childhood. She hesitated for a moment, but ultimately said nothing.

As the meal drew to a close, Lin Yufei, seeing Jiang Ting's attentive manner towards her parents, could easily discern her true intentions.

He knew that Jiang Ting had always wanted him to submit a marriage application.

If he hadn't overheard the conversation between the Jiang sisters, he might have actually submitted his application to marry Jiang Ting when she graduated.

But now, that's absolutely impossible.

Lin Yufei put down her chopsticks and suddenly asked, "Dad, Mom, what have you thought about breaking off the engagement?"

Jiang Ting was serving food to Lin's mother when she heard Lin Yufei mention the annulment of the engagement, and her hand froze.

Then she suddenly lowered her head. After a while, she raised her head. She didn't make a scene, but her eyes were a little red. She suddenly stood up and said, "I remembered there's still chicken soup in the kitchen. I'll go get some soup for you."

Upon arriving in the kitchen, Jiang Ting took out the medicine from her pocket and poured it into one of the bowls.

The house wasn't soundproof; she could hear sounds from outside even in the kitchen.

Outside, Lin's father was asking his son in a low voice, "Jiang Ting is not bad, why are you so determined to break off the engagement? You were the one who took a liking to Jiang Ting first, and then your mother and I agreed to let you get engaged after seeing that she got into university."

"Yes, son," Lin's mother quickly chimed in, "Xiaoting took care of you when you were injured on a mission before. Isn't it ungrateful of you to suddenly want to break off the engagement like this?"

Lin Yufei frowned as she listened to her parents' accusations.

He didn't need to know how his parents knew that Jiang Ting had taken care of him when he was injured; Jiang Ting must have told them herself.

He hadn't even settled accounts with Jiang Ting for taking him to treat the spy's leg, and she still dared to bring it up!

He couldn't talk about being a spy; he had to keep it to himself.

He met Jiang Ting by chance, and at that time his parents were urging him to get married.

After meeting a few times, he felt that Jiang Ting was a suitable partner and could also stop his parents from pressuring him to get married, so they got engaged.

But now that he knows that meeting Jiang Ting was a scam, how could he possibly still marry her?

But he wouldn't tell his parents about things like being reborn.

He himself had doubts about this matter.

Lin Yufei didn't explain much. He stubbornly said, "Mom and Dad, I've already made up my mind about breaking off the engagement. There's no point in you saying anything more."

At this moment, Jiang Ting came out carrying two bowls of chicken soup.

She first placed the chicken soup in front of Lin's parents. Lin's mother, who doted on her son, pushed her own bowl in front of Lin Yufei.

Jiang Ting's eyes flashed.

The bowl that Lin's mother pushed over was the one with the medicine in it.

She knew that given Lin's mother's personality, she would definitely let Lin Yufei drink first.

Then Jiang Ting brought out two more bowls, one for Lin's mother and one for herself.
