Chapter 147: Ruining the Scene
Xie Hongzu had proposed to her in the past, but she refused in vain, so Xie Hongzu moved out of their family and the old man came to propose marriage in person.
The Lin family didn't dare to offend at the time and could only agree.
But at this time, Lin Jianguo told Mr. Lin that she was not the biological daughter of the Lin family and that she would announce it to the media in a while.
The Xie family had always looked down on the Lin family, and if Xie Hongzu had not gone on a hunger strike in protest, the old man would have reluctantly agreed.
But given the status of the Xie family in Yuncheng, how could they possibly propose to marry an ordinary woman? If this were to get out, it would become a topic of conversation for others after dinner.
Only then did Mr. Xie give up, and Xie Hongzu never mentioned it again.
Although her life experience dealt her a heavy blow, it also helped her overcome the calamity.
Otherwise, if she married someone like Xie Hongzu, Lin Rushang felt that her life would be almost over.
Lin Rushuang knew very well what Xie Hongzu felt towards her and didn't want to meet someone like him, so she told Lin Jianguo.
"Dad, I'm going back to my room first."
Lin Jianguo nodded: "Well, then you step aside for now."
She was about to turn around and go upstairs when she heard that devilish voice in her ears.
"Oh, isn't this our Lin Daiyu? How did you know I was coming? Were you ready to go back to your room and hide?"
Lin Rushuang's whole body stiffened, and her hands that were holding the stair railing couldn't help but tighten, and her knuckles turned white.
The servants behind hurried over.
Then when he saw Lin Jianguo, he immediately lowered his head.
"Sir, I'm sorry, I...I tried to stop him, but I couldn't."
Lin Jianguo knew Xie Hongzu's temper. He was used to being arrogant and unruly. He was like this wherever he went and would not give face to anyone.
He didn't care and just waved to the servant.
"Go down."
Lin Rushuang had no choice. She had already bumped into someone. If she went upstairs now, it would be too obvious.
She could only go back to the hall and greet Xie Hongzu indifferently and forcedly.
"Thank you, Master."
Xie Hongzu still looked nonchalant, like a second-generation rich kid. He walked up to Lin Rushang with his hands in his pockets and looked her up and down with a frivolous look.
Lin Rushuang felt extremely disgusted by the feeling of being offended.
"Tsk tsk, it's been a while since we last met. Sister Lin seems to be getting more and more beautiful."
As he said this, Xie Hongzu was about to take action, but Li Wenyuan raised his hand to stop him.
Li Wenyuan frowned, and his face instantly became extremely gloomy as he stared at Xie Hongzu, like a blade tempered by fire.
"Xie Shao, please respect yourself!"
Xie Hongzu seemed to have just noticed Li Wenyuan, and his tone was slightly raised, but full of sarcasm.
"Oh, you're here too. But I was just joking with my sister. Why are you so excited?"
Li Wenyuan shook off Xie Hongzu's hand, with veins bulging on the back of his hand, full of warning.
"Xie Hongzu, she is my wife, not someone you can joke about casually."
Xie Hongzu clicked his tongue twice, as if he didn't take Li Wenyuan seriously at all.
"Now that I know she's your wife, why didn't I think of you having another wife at home when you were being affectionate with other women? That's right, Mr. Li's career is so successful now, so there must be a lot of women hanging around you."
Li Wenyuan's forehead veins bulged and he grabbed Xie Hongzu by the collar.
"Shut up! Stop stirring up trouble here."
Even though Xie Hongzu was treated like this by Li Wenyuan, the teasing look on his face did not diminish at all. Instead, Li Wenyuan's reaction aroused his interest.
Xie Hongzu let Li Wenyuan carry him like this, feeling relaxed all over, as if all the bones in his body were soft.
There was no fear in his eyes.
Instead, they provoked him even more unscrupulously.
"Why, I was just joking. Isn't it normal for a man, especially a successful man, to be attracted to other women?"
"Why are you so excited? Are you feeling guilty?"
Xie Hongzu was grabbed by the collar by Li Wenyuan, but he deliberately leaned towards him.
Even if Li Wenyuan was angry, he had no way to deal with Xie Hongzu. The Li family had no way to compete with the Xie family.
Lin Jianguo came over at this time, pulled Li Wenyuan away, and started to smooth things over.
"Wenyuan, let go, Hongzu was just joking."
Li Wenyuan stared at Xie Hongzu angrily for a few seconds before letting go of Xie Hongzu. He turned to look at Lin Rushang and gestured to him.
"Don't take what he said just now to heart. It's nothing."
Lin Rushang did not speak this time, but made gestures to Li Wenyuan.
"What did he say just now? He spoke too quickly. I didn't understand."
When Li Wenyuan saw what she was thinking, the gloom in his eyes and brows relaxed a little.
"Nothing, he was just joking around."
"oh."
Lin Rushang nodded calmly, but in fact, she heard everything Xie Hongzu said just now clearly.
She just didn't want to embarrass everyone.
In fact, she no longer cared what Li Wenyuan did outside.
At this time, Li Wenyuan also happened to receive a call. At first, Lin Rushang noticed that he had hung up, but she didn't know whether the caller was in a hurry or for some other reason.
Keep hitting.
After the third time, Li Wenyuan impatiently slid down the answer button.
"Didn't I tell you I had something to do today?"
Lin Rushuang didn't hear clearly what the other party was saying, but it was obviously a female voice.
Since it's a female voice, it's most likely Jiang Yuyan.
Li Wenyuan finally stood up, then covered the phone receiver and walked in front of Lin Rushang, speaking with his mouth.
"Something happened at the company. I'm going to answer a call."
"Um."
Lin Rushuang did not stop him.
Li Wenyuan then walked out of the hall with his cell phone.
Xie Hongzu explained his purpose to Lin Jianguo.
"The old man is having his birthday this week, and he asked me to come and send out invitations. Please come and have some fun."
After saying that, Xie Hongzu turned his head and looked past Lin Jianguo at Lin Rushang who was standing at the stairs.
"Sister Lin wants to come too."
Lin Rushuang just nodded lightly.
"Yes."
Anyway, she is leaving tomorrow, so she should just agree to it first. Then Xie Hongzu will have no chance to see anything.
Xie Hongzu seemed to have thought of something again, then walked up to Lin Rushang, leaned leisurely on the handrail of the stairs, and looked at her playfully with his head tilted.
"Sister Lin, are you really not going to consider following me? Look at you, Li Wenyuan, that coward, he doesn't even dare to say a word. Believe me, he can't protect you."
"Follow me, I promise that no one in the entire Cloud City will dare to bully you. Last time... we almost did that. After I got back, I couldn't stop thinking about you."
"I have no interest in seeing other women. If this continues, I think I will be ruined. Sister Lin, you have to be responsible for me."
Lin Rushuang felt sick after listening to this. Apart from Li Wenyuan and Jiang Yuyan, the rest were people like Xie Hongzu. She wished she were deaf.
This way you don't have to listen to dirty talk.
But Xie Hongzu was right in one thing. Li Wenyuan could not protect her. Xie Hongzu was already blatantly offending her, but Li Wenyuan didn't even dare to touch Xie Hongzu's finger.
Lin Rushuang stared at him with disgust: "Xie Hongzu, today is my mother's big day, don't say such disgusting things in our house."
"Oh, today is your mother's big day, moving the grave, right? I forgot about it. Tell me earlier. I'll go burn some incense for your mother later. But then again, if your mother hadn't forcibly stopped me, your mother would have been my wife a long time ago."
"Hey, you said your mother might have agreed to our relationship back then, and she might still be alive now. Breaking up someone's marriage is not a good thing to do!"
"Xie Hongzu, shut up!"
Lin Rushang was furious when she heard this, and raised her trembling hand to slap Xie Hongzu in the face!
