Chapter 263: Marry my girlfriend and let me know
Lin Rushang frowned almost instantly, feeling extremely disgusted.
"What brings you here?"
Xie Hongzu raised the corners of his lips wickedly: "Of course I'm here for something."
Lin Rushuang almost subconsciously turned around and glanced at Ding Xuezhen and the old man.
Could it be that Xie Hongzu's coming here has something to do with me?
The atmosphere became a little tense for a moment, and Ding Xuezhen took the initiative to step forward and broke the deadlock with a smile.
"Since Rushuang is back, why don't you have dinner before leaving? Don't we still have to discuss your father's affairs?"
Lin Rushuang had a cold face and was obviously unwilling to stay any longer.
"It's the same thing as talking about my dad another day."
She raised her foot and prepared to leave.
Ding Xuezhen quickly stepped forward and grabbed Lin Rushuang. "Rushuang, you know your father's health is worse than we expected. We're the only ones at home. No matter how much you dislike coming back to this house, you still have to discuss your father's affairs with him."
Lin Rushang was still a little hesitant. She really didn't want to see Xie Hongzu, but she knew very well that the more she avoided him, the more people like Xie Hongzu would stick to her like a piece of annoying chewing gum.
She took a deep breath.
He sat back down again, with almost no patience at all, and got straight to the point.
"I believe you are all aware of Dad's situation. Tell me how you want to discuss it."
Mr. Lin coughed lightly and greeted Xie Hongzu.
"Xie Shao, please sit down first."
Xie Hongzu sat on a chair with his hands in his trouser pockets, and the servant quickly brought him brewed tea.
Mr. Lin knew Lin Rushuang's temper, so he didn't beat around the bush with her.
"I think you know about your father's condition. What we all discussed is that we want to hold a happy event at home to cheer him up. Maybe it will help his health get better."
Lin Rushuang thought for a moment and said casually, "My birthday is coming up soon. Is Grandpa planning to celebrate for me?"
Mr. Lin was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Lin Rushang to be so direct. He smiled stiffly and continued.
"You're not young anymore. Your dad told me back home that even though you and Li Wenyuan are divorced, a girl can't be single. You need to find someone to rely on."
Lin Rushang understood the meaning of the old man's words and was no longer in a hurry. She crossed her long white legs, leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and drank the tea in her hand slowly.
"Isn't Lin Yuxi married yet? We should prepare for her first. As someone who's married, I'm not in a hurry."
Ding Xuezhen smiled pleasantly.
"We've already found someone for your sister. We originally wanted to introduce her to Mr. Wang, but he fell in love with you. I've discussed it with your grandfather. How could a girl as beautiful as a frost or a flower marry a middle-aged man?"
"Your sister was willing to marry for the sake of the family business, but you saw last time that Mr. Wang looked down on her, so she had no choice but to settle for Mr. Wang's younger brother."
Lin Rushang finished her tea and put the cup on the table, her eyebrows slightly raised.
"Oh, you're looking for me just to talk about Lin Yuxi's marriage. Okay, I have no problem with that. If you get married, just give me a call and I'll definitely make time to come."
She clapped her hands and prepared to stand up again.
Ding Xuezhen: "Hey, Rushuang..."
Mr. Lin probably couldn't hold back any longer and spoke frankly to Lin Rushuang.
"We've already settled your sister's affairs, but now we're talking about you. Your stepmother and I have already discussed it and promised you to the Xie family."
"That's why we called him here today."
Xie Hongzu also immediately expressed his opinion: "Don't worry, old man and aunt, I have admired Sister Lin for a long time. If Sister Lin marries me, I will definitely treat her well. As for the betrothal gift, you can ask for it."
"Our family will never treat Sister Lin unfairly."
When Ding Xuezhen heard about the betrothal gift, she almost couldn't stop grinning.
"Listen, listen, Young Master Xie is so sincere. He's not like that brother of Boss Wang, who's still so pretentious, as if he's even more important than him."
Lin Rushang did not get angry immediately, but narrowed her eyes and looked at Ding Xuezhen with a happy smile on her face.
She raised the corners of her lips slightly: "Since stepmother thinks Mr. Xie is so good, why not divorce my father and marry Mr. Xie."
"How dare you! Lin Rushuang, you were raised by the Lin family after all, who told you to speak to us like that!"
As soon as Lin Rushuang finished speaking, Master Lin growled and scolded Lin Rushuang.
Ding Xuezhen came over and took Lin Rushuang's hand, comforting her: "Rushuang, I don't care what you say, but your grandfather has been in poor health these years, and he is worried about you. Stop arguing with him. If anything happens to him again, you will let your father live."
Lin Rushang ruthlessly shook off Ding Xuezhen's hand. When her cold, dark eyes looked at her, there was a bottomless vortex hidden in them.
"Do we really need to be so hypocritical with each other? You have never considered me a member of the Lin family, so why are you pretending to be so hypocritical here?"
"Now that you're planning to get married, you think of me. Why do you think I will agree?"
"When you need me, I am the daughter of the Lin family. When you don't need me, I am someone who has nothing to do with the Lin family."
Lin Rushuang always kept these words in her heart, and for the sake of Lin Jianguo, she didn't make things too awkward with them, but that didn't mean she didn't care at all.
She is not a fool.
Old Master Lin's attitude was also very tough: "But you are now the daughter of the Lin family, so you must listen to us. I have already agreed to the Xie family's marriage. The fourth day of next month is a good date. You can get engaged then."
Lin Rushuang's cheeks were trembling with anger.
What era is it now? Is it still popular to rob and plunder?
She also expressed her attitude: "I will not get engaged to Xie Hongzu."
Mr. Lin's face turned ashen and his cheeks flushed red. He stomped his crutch hard on the ground, his voice powerful but trembling.
"If you don't agree, you'll have to watch me die!"
Mr. Lin is planning to threaten me with death.
Lin Rushang bit her lips tightly. The old man wanted to force her to death. If she refused to agree, and he really died, what would the people of Yuncheng say about her if the news got out?
How should she explain this to Lin Jianguo?
Even if she could survive in the end, she knew herself too well and knew she would live in guilt and pain.
Her career and her future will be buried with the old man's death.
This is really cruel!
Xie Hongzu sat beside them, drinking tea leisurely, with no intention of getting involved in the war between their Lin family. He came here today just to reap the benefits.
As long as the old man takes action, Lin Rushang will be forced to surrender.
At this moment, suddenly a steady sound of footsteps was heard, getting closer and closer, followed by a man's clear and low voice.
"Grandpa wants to marry my girlfriend to the Xie family. Shouldn't he have informed me in advance?"
