“If I back down to him today, I will have to completely bow down to those people in the General’s Mansion in the future.”
"Besides, he's the one who likes me, the one who begged me to pursue him. He's the one who should be humble and subservient, why should I have to be submissive? Does he even deserve it?"
Speaking of which...
Lin Jiaoyun paused for a moment, and the confidence and certainty in her eyes were hard to ignore.
She suddenly stood up.
A slight smile played on her lips, and her eyes blazed with unwavering confidence—a testament to her own irresistible charm: "Dad, just you wait. I don't believe Zhou Cheng will give up so easily. He can't live without me."
"He's probably in so much pain and suffering right now."
"You want to make me jealous? Humph! Fine, then I'll make him jealous too! Let's see who can't hold back first!"
Upon hearing this, Lin's father's heart skipped a beat, and even his eyelids twitched: "What are you planning to do?"
"Of course, I'll invite the young master of the Qin family out for tea and a stroll through the flower market. Zhou Cheng went to see Cheng Xianyi, didn't he? If he can go, why can't I? I'll go find the young master of the Qin family right now and spend time alone with him, making Zhou Cheng anxious and regretful to the core!"
"Then... he will definitely come back to me crying and try to win me back."
"You think I can't handle him? You're really giving him too much credit!"
After angrily uttering those words, Lin Jiaoyun lifted her skirt and went out.
She was absolutely certain, certain, and 100% sure that once Zhou Cheng found out she had gone out with the other young masters, he would immediately rush out of the Cheng residence to find her, and then run away in a panic, crying his eyes out, hahaha.
Hahahaha!!!
Hearing Lin Jiaoyun's sudden smug laughter, Lin's father was not happy. Instead, he sat in the main seat with a solemn expression, deep in thought.
After a while.
Mr. Lin frowned and looked at the butler beside him. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Yuanfang, what do you think?"
Do you think Zhou Cheng is trying to force the Lin family to back down and agree to the engagement?
“Master.” The butler pursed his lips, hesitated for a while before daring to reveal his true thoughts: “Young Master Zhou has thrown tantrums before, but he never lasts past the next day.”
"It's been four or five days now..."
Yes, it's been four or five days.
Instead of bringing generous gifts to apologize, Zhou Cheng went to see Cheng Xianyi more and more frequently. Was he really throwing a tantrum?
Seeing that General Zhou is once again highly regarded by the Emperor and is about to go to the border to defeat the enemy and make meritorious contributions, when General Zhou returns to the capital next time, he will probably be enfeoffed as a marquis and a king... Such a family background is not something that a small family like the Lin family can even dream of.
Lin's father panicked.
The unease grew stronger and stronger, and in the end, he could only comfort himself with examples from the past, assuring himself that it was certain, it would definitely happen.
After all, everyone in the capital knows how much Zhou Cheng loves his daughter. He has been pursuing her for three years, so how could he give up so easily now?
pity!
Lin's father was overthinking it.
The reason Zhou Cheng abandoned his dignity and groveled like a dog for three years to fawn over Lin Jiaoyun was not because of love, but because of the system's strategy mission.
Now that the mission is over, and the target has been mistaken, does he have masochistic tendencies and want to come back?
Who needs Lin Jiaoyun!
Isn't Cheng Xianyi, who only has eyes for herself, appealing?
