At first, Lin Jiaoyun didn't react.
After realizing the immense amount of information in those words, she jumped to her feet, her pretty face flushed with embarrassment and anger as she demanded, "What did you say? You went to find Cheng Xianyi!"
"That's right, and he stayed at the Cheng family's residence for a full hour. In the end, it was Miss Cheng herself who saw Young Master Zhou out of the mansion. When he left... when he left..."
"What happened when you left! Why are you stammering?" Lin Jiaoyun was extremely jealous when she thought of Cheng Xianyi's stunning beauty, and a strong sense of dissatisfaction rose in her heart.
His chest heaved with anger.
"When Young Master Zhou left, he held Miss Cheng's hand and talked for a long time. In the end, it was the head of the Cheng family who came out to ask him to leave, and he left reluctantly."
boom--
This mind-numbing news left Lin Jiaoyun completely stunned.
Holding hands?
Reluctant to part?
How dare Zhou Cheng, that lowly lackey who was pestering him so obsequiously, be half-hearted!
How dare she get so close to Cheng Xianyi!
She won't allow it!
Lin Jiaoyun was furious. She must have guessed something, because her delicate face twisted in anger: "I know, are you playing hard to get with me?"
“A few days ago, the Zhou family sent someone to propose marriage. Their words implied that I had accepted Zhou Cheng’s betrothal gift. But what kind of betrothal gift was that? Zhou Cheng forced me to accept it! I’m not the kind of greedy woman who’s only interested in money! As a result, the Zhou family turned their backs on me!”
"So, he went to see Cheng Xianyi in such a grand manner today to make me jealous and force me to agree to this marriage, right?"
"snort!"
"This method won't work on me. How dare you try to provoke me with such a disgusting method? I won't fall for it. I'll make Zhou Cheng know what regret is! I won't forgive him easily for what happened today."
"There's absolutely no way he won't kneel at the door for three days and three nights to apologize!"
Lin Jiaoyun never imagined that Zhou Cheng would not love her.
Because Zhou Cheng had been completely obedient to her for the past three years, it gave her immense confidence and self-assurance.
Lin Jiaoyun had developed this confidence through countless trials and tribulations.
Cheng Xianyi was his fiancée, a perfect match in terms of family background, appearance, figure, and talent, surpassing Lin Jiaoyun in every way.
When Zhou Cheng first confessed his love to her, she felt uneasy and fearful. But after realizing that Zhou Cheng would always stand by her side, she became more and more unrestrained and fearless.
so!
Lin Jiaoyun was convinced that everything Zhou Cheng did was to make her jealous, submissive, and admit defeat.
Zhou Cheng is definitely waiting for me to come and confront him. Once I go and confront him, Zhou Cheng will gain the upper hand.
"Miss, what should we do now?"
"The General's Mansion holds military power and is highly regarded by the Emperor in the court. The Lin family cannot afford to lose this marriage!"
Lin Jiaoyun looked at the steward with an arrogant and determined gaze, and said angrily, "I didn't say I rejected him. Marriage is a major event. What's wrong with testing a man's sincerity? It makes me sound like someone who's greedy for money."
"Trying to force me to back down? Absolutely not!"
"You can leave now. In a couple of days, Zhou Cheng will definitely be unable to hold back and come begging for my forgiveness. Then I'll give him a way out. Do you think I can't control him then?!"
"Yes." A hint of understanding and realization flashed in the steward's eyes as he left the hall.
I don't know why...
Seeing his young mistress's arrogant and fearless demeanor, the steward's eyes flashed with a strange thought.
He thought;
This time, Zhou Cheng is probably not joking.
It seems... that they have truly given up on Lin Jiaoyun, who relies on favor and kindness.
At this moment, Zhou Cheng, who was in a very good mood, was unaware of what had happened at the Lin residence, let alone that Lin Jiaoyun was still waiting for him to come and apologize and beg for forgiveness.
