Lin Xiuyan genuinely felt that when it came to squandering money, her father was far more extravagant than she was!
She spent a lot of time that night persuading Lin Yunzhi to give her the entire budget for buying piglets.
She planned to use the money to buy some strong servants and train them properly, so that Chen Yang could beat him every few weeks without being held accountable.
Seeing her bright, sparkling eyes, Lin Yunzhi found her increasingly intelligent and adorable, truly worthy of being his daughter!
Both father and daughter think they are awesome!
Lin Xiuyan's frustration over Zhou Chenyang's promotion was completely swept away by Lin Yunzhi's brilliant move:
Zhou Chenyang is nothing to be afraid of. She can deal with him once, and she can deal with him a second time!
As for her relationship with Ye Junfei, she decided to postpone it as long as possible.
Anyway, it's him who wants to marry her, not the other way around!
As for his claim that he would have the Prince of Pingnan come to the Lin residence to propose marriage, she didn't believe a word of it.
She had met the Prince of Pingnan in her previous life and knew that although he claimed to love the people like his own children, he actually had a very strong sense of social class.
A man like him would never agree to Ye Junfei marrying her.
However, nothing in this world is ever absolute.
The next morning, when Prince Pingnan arrived at Lin Xiuyan's door in casual clothes with a matchmaker to propose marriage, Lin Xiuyan was truly dumbfounded.
When she heard the news, she immediately turned to look at Ye Junfei.
Ye Junfei smiled slightly: "That old codger arrived at the time I expected. Wu Ge did a good job this time."
She asked in shock, "How did you do that?"
Ye Junfei looked at her and said, "I told you yesterday that I was born with nothing, and everything I have is something I earned myself."
"When I want something, I will definitely find a way to get it."
"But in this world, nothing is ever truly absolute. As long as you use the right method, anything is possible."
Lin Xiuyan looked at him. He had one hand behind his back, and a gentle breeze ruffled the stray hairs on his forehead, making him look as beautiful as a poem or a painting.
He possesses a confident and composed demeanor, capable of strategizing and winning battles from afar, and his entire being seems to radiate light.
She slightly turned her gaze away and said, "That's true. Nothing in this world is difficult if you set your mind to it."
Ye Junfei asked her, "Have you told your father about my identity?"
Lin Xiuyan simply gave up, saying, "I forgot."
Ye Junfei snorted lightly, not exposing her little scheme, and said calmly, "It's alright, they should know by now anyway."
He spoke calmly, but he was actually a little uneasy inside.
He knew that Lin Yunzhi would eventually agree to the marriage proposal.
Agreeing under duress and agreeing willingly are two completely different feelings.
He hoped to get the consent of everyone in the Lin family for his marriage to Lin Xiuyan.
At this moment, Lin Yunzhi looked at the majestic Prince Pingnan and then at the betrothal gifts tied with red silk all over the ground, and his feelings were extremely complicated.
He only had one daughter, Lin Xiuyan, whom he cherished and raised with utmost care, hoping she would have a peaceful and prosperous life.
The Lin family is not short of money, nor does it need to rely on powerful figures.
Therefore, the Prince of Pingnan is now asking Lin Xiuyan to marry him for the sake of his heir. Lin Yunzhi thinks about the appearance of the Prince of Pingnan's heir (Wu Dao), and he is unwilling from the bottom of his heart:
The Prince of Pingnan's heir has a bad reputation and is frivolous; he is not worthy of his daughter at all!
However, the Prince of Pingnan personally came to the door with a matchmaker and betrothal gifts, followed by several tall guards. His sincerity was evident, but so was the threat he was clearly trying to intimidate.
The Prince of Pingnan drank a cup of tea and said calmly, "This marriage is settled. The Prince's Palace will send people to fetch the bride tomorrow."
Lin Yunzhi was shocked: "They're coming to fetch the bride tomorrow? I don't agree to this marriage!"
He was still thinking that the Prince of Pingnan was quite sincere, and he was wondering how he could refuse without causing a rift between them.
Hearing the Prince of Pingnan say this, he became furious. The Prince of Pingnan was not sincere at all; he was clearly forcing the marriage!
The Prince of Pingnan looked at Lin Yunzhi in disbelief: "What? You disagree?"
The King of Pingnan is the king of Liefeng Prefecture, and also the most honorable person in Liefeng Prefecture.
Throughout the entire Liefeng Prefecture, countless people want to establish connections with the Pingnan Prince's Mansion every day, so the Pingnan Prince never imagined that the Lin family would disagree with the marriage before he arrived.
In his view, although the Lin family was the richest family in Chongqing, they were nothing more than lowly merchants.
For the Lin family's daughter to be proposed to by the heir of the Prince of Pingnan, she must be incredibly lucky!
Lin Yunzhi said firmly, "Yes, I disagree!"
The Prince of Pingnan was somewhat angry: "What gives you the right to disagree?"
Lin Yunzhi was also a little angry when he heard this: "What do you mean I have no right to disagree?"
"Marriage should be based on mutual affection and respect between the two parties."
“The prince came in person to propose marriage. I originally thought that the prince was reasonable and respectful, and even if the young master’s character was a bit low, I could still consider it.”
"But the prince comes to propose marriage today and demands to get married tomorrow. This clearly shows that he doesn't know what respect is!"
"Your Highness is of noble status, but my family only has one daughter, Yan'er, and she is just as precious to me."
"I never expect her to marry into a powerful family; I only hope that she will live a happy and healthy life!"
"So after she broke off her engagement with Zhou Chenyang, the city lord of Yucheng, I found her a son-in-law who would marry into the family. The Lin family is not worthy of the Prince of Pingnan's family."
The Prince of Pingnan had not encountered anyone who dared to speak to him like that for many years.
His expression towards Lin Yunzhi was somewhat complicated. It wasn't that he was particularly angry, but rather that he felt this lowly merchant was quite audacious.
He said coldly, "Aren't you afraid I'll punish you for speaking to me like that?"
Lin Yunzhi was a man of the world, and he wasn't intimidated by the Prince of Pingnan.
He said calmly, "If I'm afraid of being punished, I'll throw my only daughter into the fire. Then I don't deserve to be a father!"
The Prince of Pingnan was slightly taken aback when he heard this. Although he felt that Lin Yunzhi was of lowly status, he believed that Lin Yunzhi was a qualified father.
As for the Prince of Pingnan himself, he was actually unwilling to let Ye Junfei marry a merchant girl as his heir.
Lin Yunzhi disagrees, and the Prince of Pingnan thinks that he should just make a token trip and then return to Liefeng City to marry Ye Junfei a daughter of a minor official.
He glanced at Lin Yunzhi and said, "Very well, a forced relationship is never sweet, and I will not make things difficult for you."
After he finished speaking, he got up to leave, just then Lin Xiuyan and Ye Junfei arrived at the flower hall.
Lin Yunzhi immediately pointed at Ye Junfei and said to the Prince of Pingnan, "This is the son-in-law I have chosen for my daughter."
"He is not only handsome but also exceptionally talented. Remarkably, he is an orphan who has devoted himself entirely to my daughter. I am very satisfied with him." (Biquge)
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
Prince Pingnan: "…………"
His chest heaved with anger as he looked at Ye Junfei and said, "Your parents are both dead?"
