Chapter 264 Do You Dare to Steal Someone from Me?
Everyone present, including Lin Rushuang, stared at He Tingchen with shocked eyes.
What was he doing? Why did he suddenly reveal their relationship? Besides, didn’t they say in their agreement before that unless it was absolutely necessary, it would be better not to make the relationship public for the time being?
The main concern is that if their contract is terminated one day, she will have a way out, but He Tingchen will be in trouble.
But now, he actually exposed the relationship between the two people so directly.
Ding Xuezhen recovered as quickly as possible.
She didn't fully react at first, and after she did, she felt it was unlikely.
"Mr. He, you...what did you say just now? Rushuang...Rushuang is your girlfriend?"
He Tingchen glanced at Ding Xuezhen indifferently.
"What's the problem?"
"Can……"
Ding Xuezhen wanted to say that Lin Rushuang was divorced, and even if He Tingchen hadn't looked for another one for all these years, he wouldn't have looked for someone like Lin Rushuang who was divorced right away.
Mr. Lin was also surprised. He really didn't expect that Lin Rushang would be involved with He Tingchen.
But seeing these two people together did not make him happy, instead his face looked a little solemn.
"Tingchen, although I have never met your old man, I have heard about his temper."
"If Rushuang had never been married, and you two wanted to be together, our Lin family would have nothing to say. But the problem now is that Rushuang is divorced. If you were to be with a divorced woman, your He family wouldn't agree."
"Besides, we can't afford to delay Rushuang. We still want her to get married as soon as possible so that she can have someone to rely on for the rest of her life."
Mr. Lin’s words were obvious, but when Lin Rushuang heard them, her heart felt like a piece of ice, frozen.
The old man's words couldn't be more obvious.
He despised her for bringing shame to the Lin family and felt that he was not worthy of the He family. He was a divorced woman, yet he still dreamed of marrying into the He family.
He Tingchen is a rare talent, how could he be with a divorced woman like her?
If someone else said this, Lin Rushuang wouldn't think it was a big deal, but no matter what, Mr. Lin is still a member of the Lin family.
He was her biological grandfather, yet he used such words to belittle her.
When Ding Xuezhen heard that Master Lin had come out, she also spoke up.
"Yes, Mr. He, it's not that we don't agree with you being together, but if you're just playing around for the sake of a little novelty, I really think it's better for you not to be with our Rushuang."
"You can afford to delay this, but she can't. If she delays this with you for a few more years, she'll really be finished."
Lin Yuxi heard the noise upstairs at this time and came down. Seeing that something was wrong, especially when He Tingchen and Lin Rushuang were standing side by side, her face suddenly darkened.
She clung to the handrail of the stairs, her fingertips tightening as she taunted.
"Yes, Mr. He, you should think twice. My sister is divorced from Li Wenyuan. If you play with her and something goes wrong, neither of us will be able to explain ourselves."
"My sister and my previous brother-in-law have been together for seven years and they were able to divorce. Mr. He, aren't you afraid of being with my sister? If one day she gets unhappy and breaks up with you, wouldn't that ruin your reputation?"
Ding Xuezhen walked up to him as if she was thinking about He Tingchen completely, and advised him earnestly.
"Yes, Tingchen. Besides, you and Yuxi were about to get engaged, but it didn't work out due to some factors. We are still very sad."
"Why don't you just continue the discussion with Yuxi? Let's discuss Rushuang's marriage among our own families. Besides, the old man has already agreed to the Xie family, so we can't refuse."
Xie Hongzu stood up from his chair at this moment, looking at He Tingchen and Lin Rushuang as if they were a couple.
He touched his nose, his tone as nonchalant as ever.
"He Tingchen, I'm saying, you haven't found a woman in the past few years. Are you waiting for this woman?"
Xie Hongzu seemed unsatisfied after he finished speaking, and deliberately moved in front of He Tingchen, raised his chin towards him, and smiled evilly.
"You've slept with her, haven't you? It felt good, right? I understand you might be a little reluctant to let her go after having a good time, but if you let a divorced woman marry into your family, are you sure your old man won't break your legs?"
He Tingchen glanced sideways with his ink-black eyes, his face gloomy and tense.
"You mean, you don't want to marry her, you just want to play with her for fun, and when you get tired of her, you'll retreat?"
Xie Hongzu was silent for a moment, but He Tingchen already knew the answer from his reaction.
Xie Hongzu pondered for a moment and then spoke again in an arrogant tone.
"As long as she is obedient, serves me well, and doesn't cause any trouble at home, I will marry her."
Upon hearing this, Ding Xuezhen stepped forward again and put on an apologetic smile towards Xie Hongzu, as if she was afraid that Xie Hongzu would abandon Lin Rushuang if he was unhappy.
"Don't worry, Master Xie. Our Rushuang is very well behaved. Your Lin family will not lose out if you marry her. I think Master Xie has heard about our Rushuang's work ability before. If you marry her home, not only can your Xie family have more children, but you can also let her help manage the company's affairs."
“Isn’t that the best of both worlds?”
Lin Rushuang stood aside with an expressionless face. She did not make any rebuttal, but just looked at these people with her beautiful eyes coldly, as if the issues they were discussing had nothing to do with her.
The servants nearby also found it strange, and the brave ones started talking about it.
"What's wrong with this young lady? Why doesn't she say a word? This is her life-long event."
"Yeah, I also think it's better to marry Mr. He. Although Mr. He sounds like he has a bad temper, I think he's better than Mr. Xie who often hangs out with others."
"And I also heard that Mr. Xie often plays with other women outside. If our eldest daughter really marries him, I guess she won't have a good life."
"But I don't know what the old man is thinking. Why does he want to marry the eldest daughter to Mr. Xie? Can't she marry Mr. He?"
"Are you stupid? If the eldest daughter marries Mr. He, what will happen to the second daughter? After all, the second daughter has never been married."
The other people also understood what Master Lin meant in an instant.
To put it bluntly, Lin Rushuang's biggest shortcoming is that she is divorced. If she were to pair up with He Tingchen, she might not be a good match.
If He Tingchen just got bored and dumped Lin Rushuang on a whim, the Lin family wouldn't dare say anything.
Even if they intend to marry Lin Yuxi to Xie Hongzu, it will be useless if Xie Hongzu doesn't like her.
He Tingchen didn't argue with Xie Hongzu much. He felt that there was no need to argue with a fool.
He narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed in them, making people feel cold on their backs.
"Xie Hongzu, do you dare to snatch someone from me?"
