Chapter 367: Fiancée
Yu family.
"It's all your fault. Look at what you allowed Wanyue to do? Look, she even dared to hire someone to kill someone? Now that the matter has been exposed, she can't only suffer herself but also implicate our family!" Yu Wanyue's uncle is now in a state of panic because of the Space-Time Group and Chen Jinye's men. When he returned home, he couldn't help but vent his anger on Yu Wanyue's parents.
"Is this our fault?" Yu Wanyue's parents were also wronged, okay?
How many people in the Yu family had been counting on Yu Wanyue to marry into a wealthy family? How many believed she would marry into a wealthy family? For over a decade, they'd been convinced, just like Yu Wanyue, that she would marry Chen Jinye. And now? Now that something's wrong, they're blaming them both?
"Brother, don't put all the blame on us! Did we teach Wanyue to have such a temper? Who in our Yu family doesn't have such a temper? Is it our fault?" Yu Wanyue's mother retorted angrily.
"We in the Yu family all have similar personalities, but it's only Yu Wanyue who caused trouble, and she has completely offended the Chen family this time. This has nothing to do with us." Yu Wanyue's aunt hurriedly distanced herself from the matter. Although they also had similar personalities to Yu Wanyue, and because the atmosphere in the Yu family really couldn't produce any good people, it wasn't them who caused the trouble.
"That's right, Third Aunt. In the past, you all said that Yu Wanyue was the hope of our Yu family, and that she would become the wife of the second young master of the Chen family. You all poured all your resources into her. Now that something has happened, are you blaming us?" Yu Wanyue's cousin couldn't help but speak up.
They were all children of the Yu family, all girls, but why had Yu Wanyue been favored more than them since childhood? Now that Yu Wanyue had gotten into trouble, it was of course Yu Wanyue's fault, and they were not willing to share the responsibility with Yu Wanyue.
"Speaking of which, uncle, you were not as angry as this time when Yu Wanyue attacked other people before. What's the point of being anxious now?" Yu Wanyue's cousin couldn't help but blame the uncle of the Yu family, who was the head of the family.
After all, as the head of the family, he had indulged Yu Wanyue in the beginning, and he even treated her better than his own daughter. To be honest, it was really hard for the girls in the Yu family not to feel resentment towards Yu Wanyue, and there were definitely quite a few who were jealous of her.
"Is this the time to talk about this?" Yu Wanyue's grandfather shouted angrily, "What we should do now is to save the Yu family's business. We can't let the Spacetime Group really bankrupt our family."
As he spoke, he glanced sharply at everyone in the room and said in a sinister tone, "If you really go bankrupt, just think about how you're going to live in the future!"
Hearing him say this, everyone else couldn't help but shudder.
They had grown up in luxury, and if they were to go bankrupt, wouldn't their lives be worse than those of the common people they once looked down upon? They absolutely didn't want to live that kind of life!
"So what should we do now? The Space-Time Group is sniping us, and the groups that are friendly with the Space-Time Group are standing by and watching us being attacked by the Space-Time Group little by little. Some people are taking advantage of us and swallowing up a lot of our profits." Yu Wanyue's uncle said with a grim expression.
"We must abandon Yu Wanyue and apologize to the Chen family." Yu Wanyue's grandfather made a decisive decision. "Yu Wanyue is useless, so we can't sacrifice the Yu family to be buried with her."
"Dad..." After all, Yu Wanyue's parents have spoiled her since she was a child. Although most of the reason is because they also think that Yu Wanyue will marry into a big family in the future, after all, it is impossible that there is no sincerity in their feelings for so many years.
Now they heard that the family owner wanted to abandon Yu Wanyue. Yu Wanyue's parents were reluctant to let her go and wanted to fight for her again.
However, the old patriarch didn't give Yu Wanyue's parents any chance. He looked at them coldly and said, "Yu Wanyue can only be abandoned. If you can't bear to part with her, you can certainly go and save her on your own. But by then, you will have no connection with the Yu family at all. I will immediately expel you from the Yu family."
"Dad!" Yu Wanyue's mother wanted to say something, but was stopped by her husband.
Yu Wanyue's mother actually loved her daughter genuinely. She was reluctant to see her daughter, whom she had spoiled since childhood, suffer imprisonment, and she was unwilling to let the family give up her daughter, but she did not dare to really disobey the decision of the old patriarch.
"From now on, there will be no Yu Wanyue in our Yu family." The old patriarch said coldly, then looked at Yu Wanyue's uncle and instructed, "Contact the Chen family with sufficient sincerity and apologize to them."
"Only by striving for the Chen family's forgiveness can we save our Yu family. Otherwise, what will happen to so many people in our Yu family in the future? Can you imagine such a day?" the old patriarch asked sternly.
The old patriarch had made a decision, so of course no one dared to object. Moreover, they did not want to see the Yu family really go bankrupt, so they could only do as the old patriarch wished.
After the meeting, Yu Wanyue's parents looked very bad, especially Yu Wanyue's mother, who looked very pale. She couldn't bear to leave her daughter, and even more so, she couldn't bear to leave the Yu family's life of luxury, so she was in great pain.
The reason why Yu Wanyue's father looked so unhappy was more because his status in the Yu family plummeted from then on. In the past, Yu Wanyue was the most favored girl in the Yu family and was expected to marry into a wealthy family, so other people in the Yu family also supported her.
Now that Yu Wanyue has been abandoned and the Yu family has fallen into its current dangerous situation, he is the sinner of the Yu family. His days will definitely not be easy, and the Yu family will never let him go easily.
When Yu Wanyue's father thought about the difficult days ahead, he became very angry. He did not regret his indulgence of his daughter, but regretted why he did not let his daughter marry Chen Jinye earlier.
No one else in the Yu family wants to pay attention to Yu Wanyue's parents, and they don't want to take advantage of them. Now everyone is struggling, so how much superiority can they gain by looking for it from Yu Wanyue's parents?
The Yu family was attacked because of Yu Wanyue, and their business plummeted, so they started arguing. On the other hand, everyone also knew that Chen Jinye liked a small anchor, especially the big families on the capital star, who knew a lot about it.
Of course, many large families with profound backgrounds do not necessarily live in the capital planet. Other families with similar status to the Chen family, or families with higher status than the Chen family, were also surprised to know that Chen Jinye, the promising second son of the Chen family, actually fell in love with a small anchor.
Although their investigation revealed that this young anchor was capable, her background was still too poor and she was not a match for Chen Jinye at all. How could he fall in love with such a woman?
It has been mentioned before that Chen Jinye is a person with infinite charm. So there are not only admirers like Yu Wanyue who are proud and confident that they are worthy of Chen Jinye and that they can definitely win Chen Jinye over, but there are also many people who like Chen Jinye very much.
Lin Qiuyi, a little fan girl who is a perfect match for Chen Jinye and is ten years older than him, but they are not childhood sweethearts. She likes Chen Jinye very much. Since she was a teenager, she has been saying that she wants to marry Chen Jinye and become his bride when she grows up.
Whether people were familiar with the Chen family or the Lin family, they thought that Lin Qiuyi would get what she wanted. After all, the Chen family and the Lin family were well-matched and had a good relationship. Although Chen Jinye treated Lin Qiuyi no differently from other girls, everyone agreed that Chen Jinye would marry her.
Some people also know that Chen Jinye has a crazy pursuer, Yu Wanyue, in the circle, but Yu Wanyue's family background is not as good as Lin Qiuyi's. She also knows about Lin Qiuyi's existence, but she just can't touch Lin Qiuyi.
Although Yu Wanyue and Lin Qiuyi had clashed several times, Lin Qiuyi was protected by her brothers and elders, and she herself was not a real naive person who knew nothing, so Yu Wanyue really couldn't do anything to Lin Qiuyi.
In fact, Chen Jinye never said that he liked Lin Qiuyi. He also clarified the rumors circulating in the upper-class circles that he and Lin Qiuyi would become a couple, and made it clear that he only regarded Lin Qiuyi as a sister and there was no possibility of marrying her.
Yu Wanyue therefore thought that although Lin Qiuyi was a threat, she was not the biggest threat. After failing to get any results from her actions against Lin Qiuyi, she did not bother Lin Qiuyi again, but instead focused all her attention on Chen Jinye.
As a result, Yu Wanyue, the crazy woman, has reaped the fruits of her own labor, but Chen Jinye clearly stated that he has someone he likes and will marry her. This makes many people who are optimistic about him and Lin Qiuyi feel very strange and unhappy.
Marriage alliances are very common among these families. Even if Chen Jinye is dating someone else, they think that Chen Jinye is just playing around before getting married, and will definitely come back to marry Lin Qiuyi in the end. This is the essence of marriage alliances among aristocratic families.
Of course, Chen Jinye had never liked anyone else or been in a relationship before he fell in love with Tu Rongrong. Those people thought that Chen Jinye kept himself clean because he wanted to give an explanation to the Lin family and make the Lin family feel good about him as their future son-in-law.
But no one expected that Chen Jinye liked an unknown little girl. Although her family used to have some influence, in the eyes of these top families, Tu Rongrong was no different from an ordinary country girl.
But they could also see that this "country girl" had a strong ability to make money, and they could also see that this "country girl" was quite capable, but they all thought that maybe Chen Jinye just wanted to have a relationship and, by the way, get more things that would be beneficial to the Chen family from this "country girl".
Now, because Yu Wanyue attacked this "country girl", Chen Jinye was furious. Not only did he take revenge on Yu Wanyue, he even implicated the Yu family. Many people were surprised at Chen Jinye's fuss.
Is it necessary to make such a big fuss over a woman who is just a plaything to them? Is it too much to even trample on the Lin family's reputation?
"The Lin family?" The elders of the Chen family were amused when asked this question while out socializing. They asked in confusion, "What does this have to do with the Lin family? Why did Jin Ye, this kid, vent his anger for the person he likes by stepping on the Lin family's face? Seeing that the Yu family's backers are the Lin family?"
"When did this happen? Does the Lin family plan to come forward to protect the Yu family?" The elder of the Lin family asked curiously.
The person who asked the question laughed when he heard him say that. "Didn't your Chen family and the Lin family reach a tacit agreement to have Chen Jinye marry Lin Qiuyi? Now Jinye is making such a fuss over a little internet celebrity. Where does that Lin girl's face go? After all, she is Chen Jinye's fiancée."
"When did this happen? When did that boy Jinye get engaged to the girl from the Lin family? A fiancée? How come I didn't know?" This elder of the Chen family is Chen Ruize's uncle, and has a very close relationship with Chen Jinye, so how could this uncle not know that Chen Jinye has a fiancée?
"Huh?" The man who had spoken to him was stunned. He looked at Uncle Chen in surprise and said, "This isn't... It's been rumored in our circle for so many years. We all tacitly believe that Miss Lin is the fiancée of Chen Jinye's kid. Don't you know?"
"Tacit understanding? You guys are in charge of everything, and you even interfere in the matter of our Chen family's children getting married? Jin Ye, that kid, has a fiancée, but we, the close elders, don't know about it. Instead, you outsiders know more about it than us?" Uncle Chen said with a smile.
The man said awkwardly, "Isn't this... Didn't the girl from the Lin family say she liked Jin Ye a long time ago? And your Chen family didn't refute it."
"I remember when this news came out, Jin Ye had already said that he had no romantic feelings for the girl from the Lin family, and that he was only being polite to her because she was the younger sister of a close family friend. How could she be his fiancée?"
Uncle Chen's words also spread. Originally, the news of the two families getting married was spread ten years ago when Lin Qiuyi said that she liked Chen Jinye. Chen Jinye had long said that it was impossible for him and Lin Qiuyi and put the matter behind him. So what was the meaning of bringing up this topic again now?
Lin family.
"Sister, don't worry. We will not let Chen Jinye, that kid, let you go." The tall and dignified eldest brother of the Lin family looked at his delicate and weak sister. He became furious when he thought that Chen Jinye had let his sister down.
"That guy already has you as his fiancée, yet he still dares to mess with other women. Now he says he will marry that little internet celebrity in the future? Where does that put you?" The second elder brother of the Lin family was also very angry.
Suddenly surrounded by her eldest and second brothers, who were attacking Chen Jinye in front of her, Lin Qiuyi was confused and interrupted them with her hand, "Wait!"
"You said I'm Chen Jinye's fiancée?"
Lin Qiuyi actually heard that Chen Jinye had someone he liked. It was common knowledge that she liked Chen Jinye, but her liking was more of an idol worship kind of liking. Although she was very angry when she heard that her idol had someone he liked, she did not lose her mind.
After Chen Jinye publicly stated that the person he liked was Tu Rongrong, and that anyone who bullied or hurt her would be put on his blacklist, Lin Qiuyi seriously investigated Tu Rongrong. Then, inevitably, the little princess who had lived a carefree life since childhood fell into the trap of food and couldn't extricate herself. She also fell in love with Tu Rongrong and became Tu Rongrong's little fan girl.
Lin Qiuyi likes Chen Jinye but she doesn't think that Chen Jinye must be with her. She thinks her idol can like anyone, especially if the person he likes is another idol of hers. She has become a CP fan of the two.
After all, she was young when she first fell in love with Chen Jinye. She was only fourteen or fifteen years old when she first said that she liked Chen Jinye. At that time, Chen Jinye was already a big star in the entertainment industry. She only liked him because of his dazzling image.
Especially when Chen Jinye said ten years ago that he didn't like Lin Qiuyi and only regarded her as the younger sister of a family friend and would not consider her in marriage, she realized that she only regarded Chen Jinye as an idol.
Although Chen Jinye's admirer Yu Wanyue often fights with her, she will fight back only because Lin Qiuyi hates Yu Wanyue's behavior, so she fights with Yu Wanyue, not because she still likes Chen Jinye and regards Yu Wanyue as a love rival.
So what was going on now? How did the rumor spread that she was Chen Jinye's fiancée? Chen Jinye preferred to like a small internet celebrity and even went to such lengths for her, was he stepping on Lin Qiuyi's face and the Lin family's?
"Qiuyi, don't worry. We will not let Chen Jinye, that kid, off for what he did to you." The eldest brother of the Lin family touched his sister's head and comforted her.
"That's right. The Chen family treated our Lin family like this, so we don't have to be polite to them." The second brother of the Lin family also followed suit to express his loyalty to his sister.
"Don't worry, sister. Although Chen Jinye is my idol, I will not allow him to bully my sister." The younger brother of the Lin family also said this. He looked at his sister with a firm gaze, determined to protect her from being hurt.
Lin Qiuyi held his forehead in distress and asked, "What's wrong with you? Who told you that I was Chen Jinye's fiancée? You are my brothers, when did you see me getting engaged to him?"
"Uh..." Because there was a lot of commotion outside, and the three brothers were all sister-con, when they heard the news that Lin Qiuyi was bullied, they were furious and wanted to deal with the person who bullied their sister/elder. They really hadn't thought about this problem carefully.
"I do like Chen Jinye, but I like the way I like my idol," Lin Qiuyi said helplessly. "Besides, Chen Jinye and I are just children of two old friends. We are not too close, just acquaintances. How can we be engaged?"
"So, someone is trying to stir up trouble between our Lin and Chen families?" The eldest brother of the Lin family frowned upon hearing his sister's words. "That's strange. Qiu Yi wasn't involved in Chen Jinye's affairs before, so why is Qiu Yi being dragged into this?"
"Someone's trying to take advantage of the situation, using our Lin family as a pawn? Killing with a borrowed knife?" The second brother of the Lin family said unhappily, "They shouldn't be using Qiu Yi as an excuse."
"If we don't use Qiu Yi as an excuse, do you think we will confront the Chen family? The person behind the scenes just wants us to vent our anger for Qiu Yi. After all, everyone knows how much we love Qiu Yi, and our family also loves Qiu Yi." The eldest brother of the Lin family said in a deep voice.
Lin Qiuyi is the only daughter of the Lin family. Yes, she is the kind of girl in many Mary Sue novels who is doted on by many brothers, but is the only girl in the family.
The Lin family has had boys for three generations, and Lin Qiuyi is the only girl in the family.
In addition, Lin Qiuyi is cute and has a likable personality. No matter how much the Lin family pampers her, they still don't spoil her, so the Lin family pampers her even more.
The Lin family has only one direct descendant, a girl named Lin Qiuyi. So if someone really tramples on Lin Qiuyi's reputation and dignity, it is possible that the direct descendants of the Lin family will be furious and confront the other party.
"Is it so cruel? Are they going to let our Lin family and Chen family fight to the death?" The younger brother of the Lin family shuddered. Their Lin family hadn't done anything wrong, had they? How could they have encountered such a thing?
"I still want to beat that kid Chen Jinye to death." The second brother of the Lin family said. Although the relationship between his sister and him as a fiancé was fake, it was true that his sister liked him. How could he let his sister down like this?
"Wait a minute, second brother. What are you doing?" Lin Qiuyi speechlessly grabbed her second brother and said, "I consider Chen Jinye my idol. I also like his girlfriend now. You can't mess with him."
"If you make my goddess unhappy, I will make you unhappy too." Lin Qiuyi threatened.
"Goddess? When did you get a goddess?" The eldest brother of the Lin family was very confused when he heard his sister say that. How come his sister got a goddess?
"That's the one Chen Jinye likes. She's really amazing, I like her very much." Lin Qiuyi said excitedly, "The food she cooks is really delicious. And, I bought a lot of delicious food from her Star Network store a while ago. You guys should try it too."
The three Lin brothers: "..."
"Is food your only concern?" The eldest brother of the Lin family said speechlessly.
"What's the big deal? The food is delicious." Lin Qiuyi said with a smile, "Brother, try it. This is honey-glazed pork jerky, this is vacuum-packed braised food, this is a braised egg, there are also soaked chicken feet, this is braised duck feet, and this is duck neck..."
"Everyone, try some! These are ready to eat right out of the bag." Lin Qiuyi took out a bag of duck necks, opened it, and nibbled on it herself, smiling. "And the quick-frozen buns need to be steamed, and the instant noodles need to be brewed in hot water. There are so many delicious things."
"So, the goddess is really amazing, I like her very much." Lin Qiuyi smiled. She was in a really good mood when she ate the delicious food. She only recently discovered that there were so many delicious foods. She had missed out on billions of dollars.
"Second brother, did my sister try a new drug recently and her brain got damaged?" The younger brother of the Lin family looked at his sister who was eating duck neck and smiling happily, and carefully approached his second brother and asked in a low voice.
"You're the one with a broken brain." The second elder brother of the Lin family patted his younger brother's head and said, "You should go back to school. If you skip classes again, I will never forgive you."
"Brother, these are for you to eat. Take them to school." When Lin Qiuyi heard his second brother say that his younger brother was going back to school, he quickly gave him some of the various foods he had bought, and then sent him out with a smile.
Little brother Lin, who was stuffed with a lot of things by his sister, said: "..."
Since Lin Qiuyi had nothing to do with Chen Jinye, and wasn't upset because Chen Jinye had someone he loved, the Lin brothers wouldn't do anything. Of course, they also wanted to find out who was trying to sow discord between the Lin and Chen families and see them fight.
Lin Qiuyi also officially stated that she had nothing to do with Chen Jinye, and that the rumor that she was Chen Jinye's fiancée was a rumor. If she knew who leaked the news, she would never let that person go.
As for the fact that Chen Jinye had someone he liked, she wished Chen Jinye well, especially when she asked Chen Jinye to bring her sister-in-law back as soon as possible. She wanted to go to her sister-in-law's house for a meal and hoped that Chen Jinye would not kick her out.
Lin Qiuyi's attitude surprised everyone else, especially those girls who also liked Chen Jinye but had never taken any action because they could not defeat the Lin family behind Lin Qiuyi. They were filled with hatred and felt that Lin Qiuyi was really useless.
Of course, the people behind the scenes didn't expect that Lin Qiuyi, a seemingly innocent girl, would not take the bait. They didn't expect that Lin Qiuyi's love for Chen Jinye was not that kind of love, and there was no possessiveness at all. They miscalculated.
However, provoking the Lin and Chen families was just a side effect, just to make things difficult for Chen Jinye and Tu Rongrong. Now that Lin Qiuyi doesn't take the bait, it won't affect their plans.
This Lin Qiuyi is a cute little girl. She is Rongrong’s fangirl, not a love rival.
