Chapter 630 I’m not a garbage collector, I want everything
"Open it and see if you like it." Lin Tingfeng sat under the pavilion and handed an exquisite rosewood box to Zhuang Shihan.
She couldn't help but be stunned, "For me?"
Lin Tingfeng nodded, with a look of guilt in his eyes, "It's my fault that I'm not in good health. I couldn't be with you to cut the ribbon on such an important day.
Shihan, I'm sorry."
Hearing this word "I'm sorry", Zhuang Shihan felt even more dazed.
Is this still the Lin Tingfeng she knows?
Ever since Song Yanxi took over the medicine business in Mingcui Mountain and saved him by the way, his nose and eyes looked different when he looked at her.
To put it bluntly, it can even be regarded as nitpicking.
If you don’t know, you might think that they are not in love but have a grudge against each other.
What’s going on now? The sun is rising from the west?
It's really strange.
Seeing that Zhuang Shihan was reluctant to take it, Lin Tingfeng looked helpless, "Are you still angry with me?"
"I dare not." Zhuang Shihan curled the corners of her lips and took a half step back.
The ridicule is real, and the fear is also real.
Her memory was not so bad that she forgot that she had poisoned him in a fit of rage a few days ago.
She was tortured by the poison for three days and three nights. It was a blessing that he didn't hate her to death, but he even had the heart to prepare a gift for her?
Why is she so unconvinced?
Deeply hurt by the vigilance in her eyes, Lin Tingfeng's eyes were filled with sadness. He withdrew his hand and said, "If you don't like it, don't force it."
Zhuang Shihan couldn't stand his look the most, so she snatched it away with a cold face and said, "I don't lack anything, so you don't have to bother preparing any gifts for me.
If you really want to, take good care of your old lady and don't cause me any trouble in the future."
Thinking of something, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes, "And your sister-in-law is not a good person either."
Hearing her mention Zhou, Lin Tingfeng's face turned slightly colder, "If you really don't like your sister-in-law, I will make the decision on behalf of my brother and ask someone from the Zhou family to take her back."
"Take her back?" Zhuang Shihan was startled and asked with a frown, "She's a married woman. Will the Zhou family be willing to take her back?"
Lin Tingfeng lowered his voice and said, "It's not up to them to refuse."
Zhuang Shihan became even more confused after hearing this.
What do you mean they have no say?
Although Zhou's father's official position was not high, he was still an official appointed by the imperial court. How could he allow the Lin family to humiliate him at will?
Just one impeachment memorial would make the Lin family the laughing stock of the entire capital.
Where does he get the confidence to say such arrogant words?
Zhuang Shihan stared at Lin Tingfeng intently. The more she looked, the more she felt that he was different from before.
But I couldn't tell what the difference was.
Her intuition told her that he might be hiding something from her.
When the question came to her lips, Zhuang Shihan changed her tone and said, "I am pregnant with your Lin family's flesh and blood, it is very precious.
To put it bluntly, the baby she's carrying is most likely your eldest brother's posthumous child. If we really drive her away, I'm afraid your eldest brother won't be able to close his eyes in the future."
Lin Tingfeng curled the corners of his lips and said, "Don't worry about what others think, as long as you are happy."
The sudden sweet words gave Zhuang Shihan goosebumps.
She calmly withdrew her hand and changed the subject, "Your injury is in your ribs. You can walk around more when you have nothing to do. As long as you don't use violence, it's fine."
As she spoke, she had already opened the box in her hand.
Looking at the Heart-Shaping Pendant lying quietly inside, Zhuang Shihan's smile froze as she said, "We're all getting married, so let's stop with these pretentious tricks."
Seeing her reluctance, Lin Tingfeng said, "This is a heart-shaped pendant carved from a piece of beautiful jade that my father accidentally found when he was accompanying His Majesty to build the country. It symbolizes the love between the two of them that will last forever."
When Zhuang Shihan heard this, she became even more determined to refuse.
She said, "This is too valuable. I can't accept it."
Lin Tingfeng did not allow for refusal and said, "Father originally intended to keep this pair of jade pendants as a family heirloom, to be passed down from generation to generation.
As the future general's wife, this is what you deserve. Now it is just being returned to its rightful owner in advance."
If it were in the past, Zhuang Shihan would have been deeply moved when she heard this.
After all, there is no woman who doesn't want to be the only one in her lover's eyes or even in his heart.
For commemorative heirlooms like these, their value is secondary; their symbolic meaning is priceless.
But those were just Zhuang Shihan’s previous thoughts.
Now, for her, these things look good but they don’t satisfy her.
No matter how round the pie is, it would be useless if you can't eat it, right?
Fearing that Lin Tingfeng would continue to pester her, Zhuang Shihan said directly, "The old lady is still alive. Even if she passes the things to me, it will be a hundred years later."
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but feel strange.
Her father-in-law, whom she had never met, had this object that symbolized the unity between husband and wife, but he did not give it to his first wife, Old Lady Lin, nor to the two concubines he kept in southern Xinjiang.
On the contrary, I kept it in my hands for more than ten years.
Could it be that he has another candidate in mind that he wants to send but has not been able to send him/her?
Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will quickly take root and sprout, growing into towering trees.
The more Zhuang Shihan looked at the pair of heart-shaped pendants, the more sad she felt.
No wonder Old Madam Lin "couldn't stand the loneliness" and had an affair with someone and gave birth to Lin Tingxuan. After all this fuss, her father-in-law might not be a good person either.
Fortunately, she had sympathized with him before, thinking that he was a good man who was responsible and capable of taking on a responsibility, which was rare in feudal society, because he was still willing to divorce his wife despite being cuckolded.
She was wrong!
Zhuang Shihan took two steps back and said with disgust, "Take this thing back quickly, I don't want it."
Lin Tingfeng was about to explain when he heard her say, "I don't know which woman this was supposed to be a gift but never given away, and now she's using it as a family heirloom. Isn't that disgusting?
I'm not a garbage collector here, I don't want anything."
"Shihan, you..."
"Why, do you think my words are rude?"
Zhuang Shihan looked at Lin Tingfeng's pale face and said with disdain from the bottom of her heart, "I have at least eighty shops under my control, if not a hundred.
The net profit of one month is so great that even if you take three years, the general's office won't be able to finish it all."
It's the truth, but it's also really humiliating.
Especially since Lin Tingfeng is a man.
No matter what, he could not accept Zhuang Shihan's condescending and almsgiving attitude.
If you don’t know him, you might think that he, a third-rank general of cavalry, is a gigolo.
He can't afford to lose this person.
Meeting his dissatisfied gaze, Zhuang Shihan couldn't help but sneer, "What's that look in your eyes? Do you think my words are too harsh and don't care about your face?"
As she spoke, her smile grew wider, "If you really wanted to maintain your dignity, you wouldn't be like a scabby dog, still eagerly approaching people after your divorce.
It would be fine if he didn't even look at you, but you came back in such a mess."
Lin Tingfeng had a cold face and clenched his fists, saying, "I was foolish in this matter, and I have no complaints about you beating and scolding me.
It’s better not to mention those words again in the future.”
"Those words?" Zhuang Shihan thought of something and smiled meaningfully, saying, "The old lady was right about something."
Lin Tingfeng frowned and asked, "What?"
