Wu Dao laughed heartily: "I've been staying at the City Lord's Mansion these past few days, so there's no need to go through the trouble of sending out invitations. You just need to let me know."
Zhou Chenyang: "..."
This guy actually wants to live in the city lord's mansion?
He was so angry that his eyes went black, but Wu Dao had come under the guise of patrolling, so he had no way to refuse.
He could only say, "I am so happy to have the Crown Prince attend my wedding."
Lin Yunzhi said from the side, "Since Rou'er is pregnant, the marriage cannot be delayed any longer."
"The fifteenth of this month is an auspicious day, why don't we choose that day?"
The fifteenth was originally the wedding date for Zhou Chenyang and Lin Xiuyan.
The wedding date is still set, but the bride is a different person.
Zhou Chenyang was unexpectedly made a father, but he didn't feel happy at all.
He took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let's set it for the fifteenth of this month."
Lin Yunzhi cupped his hands in greeting to Zhou Chenyang and said calmly, "Although Rou'er is not my biological daughter, I watched her grow up."
"Please prepare the betrothal gifts as soon as possible, City Lord. As for the dowry, you needn't worry; I will give the dowry meant for Yan'er to Rou'er first." (cascoo.net)
Zhou Chenyang felt a little better when he thought of the generous dowry the Lin family had prepared for Lin Xiuyan.
Even so, he still felt extremely uncomfortable.
After all, no matter how much dowry Lin Xiuyan had, it was still far less than the entire Lin family mansion.
He nodded slightly, which was considered his agreement.
Jiang Xinrou had always known about Zhou Chenyang's plans. She originally thought it would be difficult for Zhou Chenyang to marry her this time, but she didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
Jiang Xinrou was very happy. She glanced at Zhou Chenyang shyly, but he didn't want to look at her at all.
She knew he was upset, so she didn't take his attitude to heart.
After all, Zhou Chenyang is the best possible partner she could find right now.
She could understand if his attitude was a little harsh at that moment, but she believed in her own charm.
If she marries Zhou Chenyang, it won't be difficult for her to win his heart with her intelligence.
Not to mention she knows everything about the Lin family!
As long as she operates properly, and with Zhou Chenyang's help, she doesn't think it will be difficult to empty the Lin family mansion.
So she walked to Zhou Chenyang's side and whispered, "City Lord, believe me, marrying me is definitely the right choice for you."
Zhou Chenyang glanced at her, her face full of confidence: "I will help you get the Lin family mansion."
He scoffed at her statement for a simple reason: even if she helped him get to the Lin family mansion, it wouldn't stop the Lin family from giving tens of thousands of taels of silver to the Prince of Pingnan's mansion.
He was very unhappy whenever he thought that the money that was originally his had become the money of the Prince of Pingnan.
Not to mention, this time the Lin family has caught the eye of the Prince of Pingnan's heir. If the Prince of Pingnan's heir also sets his sights on the Lin family's money, things will get very complicated.
He said coldly, "I don't care what method you use, this time the dowry must be at least 100,000 taels of silver."
"If you can't bring this amount of silver, don't blame me for turning ruthless!"
Jiang Xinrou was stunned for a moment. Even if the Lin family was the richest family in Chongqing, it was no small amount to take out 100,000 taels of silver.
Not to mention that this incident was so unpleasant, Lin Yunzhi would never give her that much money.
But at this moment she knew she couldn't go against Zhou Chenyang's wishes, so she could only whisper, "I understand."
Lin Xiuyan watched them huddle together and talk quietly, but she didn't pay any attention to it.
Today, she broke off her engagement with Zhou Chenyang and even helped Jiang Xinrou and Zhou Chenyang get married. The weight in her heart was finally lifted.
She knew that even if she broke off her engagement with Zhou Chenyang, it didn't mean she could rest easy from now on.
After all, Zhou Chenyang is a despicable person, and he will not let the Lin family off so easily.
However, this time, she used Ye Junfei's power to annul the engagement and became entangled with him again, which was also a worrying thing for her.
In her mind, Ye Junfei was far more dangerous than Zhou Chenyang.
She now only hopes that the 50,000 taels of silver can buy back the favor he has done for her this time.
Lin Xiuyan secretly vowed in her heart that she would never let the things of her past life happen again.
Lin Yunzhi took Lin Xiuyan and Jiang Xinrou back to the Lin residence.
On the way back to the mansion, he said to Jiang Xinrou, "Your aunt brought you back to the Lin mansion, and I treat you as my own daughter."
"I don't know when you went astray, but I guess I've failed in my duty over the years."
“But you’ve gone too far this time. After you get married, everything you have will be unrelated to the Lin family.”
Jiang Xinrou sobbed, "Uncle, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong!"
"In this world, you are all I have left as family. Please don't abandon me!"
Lin Xiuyan said calmly, "In your heart, are family members meant to be betrayed?"
Jiang Xinrou: "..."
She has already shown weakness, what more does Lin Xiuyan want?
Lin Xiuyan looked at her and said, "You still want to get involved with the Lin family? You're just trying to curry favor with Zhou Chenyang."
"The Lin family has already been more than kind to you. If you still dare to cling to the Lin family, I will make sure you die without a burial place."
She smiled slightly as she said this: "If you don't believe me, you can try it."
Jiang Xinrou: "..."
After learning that Lin Xiuyan was behind the events at Qizhen Garden, she no longer dared to ignore Lin Xiuyan's threats as casually as before.
She just said, looking aggrieved, "I really know I was wrong. Is it wrong to admit your mistakes and correct them?"
Lin Xiuyan was disgusted by her appearance and couldn't understand where she got the nerve to say such things.
Lin Xiuyan smiled at her and said, "Do you think we'd believe you can admit your mistakes and change?"
Jiang Xinrou's eyes reddened slightly, and Lin Xiuyan added, "I think you're more likely to be a leopard that can't change its spots."
Jiang Xinrou: "..."
How could Lin Xiuyan say such a thing about her?
She looked at Lin Yunzhi with a wronged expression, and Lin Yunzhi simply closed his eyes, preferring not to see it.
Jiang Xinrou: "..."
Her hands clenched into fists, her hatred for everyone in the Lin family reaching its peak.
She vowed in her heart that she would take everything from Lin Xiuyan and make the Lin family her stepping stone!
After the annulment of the engagement was settled, Lin Xiuyan once again suggested to Lin Yunzhi that she wanted to learn how to do business with him.
Although Lin Yunzhi felt that doing business was a bit hard, Lin Xiuyan, as his only daughter, was to inherit everything in the Lin family, and she would have to do it sooner or later.
So he thought about it briefly and then agreed.
The next morning, Lin Xiuyan went with Lin Yunzhi to the accounting office to learn how to manage and do accounting.
Ye Junfei couldn't leave Lin Xiuyan for the time being, so he had no choice but to follow her into the accounting room.
Lin Yunzhi was happy to see this happen, after all, feelings need to be cultivated!
Although Lin Xiuyan hasn't fallen for Ye Junfei yet, they spend every day together like this, and he doesn't believe they won't develop feelings for each other!
