Lingling tried her best to adjust her facial expression so that she looked about the same as usual.
Then she waited in the yard for her fiancé to arrive.
In a few tens of seconds...
Kaifeng appeared in front of her.
"Lingling..." Kaifeng ran over with a worried look on his face, put his hands on Lingling's shoulders, and asked with concern, "What happened to you? I heard your voice sound a little off just now. Are you sick, or did something happen? I was so scared. I was really worried about you."
Hearing this, Lingling was a little touched, and her eyes unconsciously turned to Jiang Li, as if to tell Jiang Li, "See, Kaifeng really cares about her."
She looked at Kaifeng and said softly, "I...I'm fine...it's just..."
"What is it?" Kaifeng's voice became even gentler, and his eyes began to look around.
result……
He inadvertently noticed the ornaments in the courtyard.
He sent them all!
Kaifeng's expression changed instantly.
His eyes instantly turned fierce.
But soon, Kaifeng regained his composure, averting his gaze and replacing it with a look of confusion.
“Those are all…” Lingling saw Kaifeng’s eyes, and rubbed her eyes in disbelief, her expression blank for a moment.
Did she just see it wrong?
That fierce look in his eyes, is that Kaifeng's?
Impossible...
Absolutely impossible...
Why would Kaifeng look like that?
She must have misread it. Yes, she must be wrong.
“Lingling…” Kaifeng suddenly looked at Lingling with disappointment. “Aren’t those all things I gave to Uncle? What do you mean by this? Why did you move all those ornaments into the yard? Is it because you don’t like them?”
"No, it's not..."
"If it's not because you don't like me, then it's because you have a problem with me as a person?" Kaifeng continued, the disappointment in his eyes growing stronger. "I know my family background isn't as good as yours, and my abilities are only so-so, but I genuinely like you, and we're already engaged. Does Uncle really want to break us up?"
Before Lingling could even speak, Kaifeng unleashed a barrage of attacks.
In the past, she would have gone along with him and started to attack her father.
He questioned why he was targeting Kaifeng.
Why do you look down on Kaifeng's intentions so much?
But now...
She looked at Kaifeng with great disappointment and said, word by word, "Kaifeng, you don't even know what happened, so it's not right for you to say such things about my dad."
“If this wasn’t your uncle who had things thrown out, then it was you…” Kaifeng’s expression became even more pained. “Or is it that, Lingling, you have some grudge against me that requires you to humiliate me in this way?”
Lingling: "..."
For some reason, she really wanted to slap the person in front of her right now.
Why was she so devoted to Kaifeng before?
Why should we be so considerate of his feelings?
Why……
Given her personality, she would never let someone like that get close to her.
Even if she got close, she should have told the other person to get lost when they spoke to her in that tone.
What's going on?
She not only accepted his advances, but also got engaged to him!
This is simply unbelievable.
However, even under these circumstances, Lingling still cared about saving face.
She couldn't let Jiang Li and Lu Shiyan laugh at her while she was making a bet.
So she said gently, "Kaifeng, you've misunderstood, it's not like that..."
"That's not how it is, then how is it?" Kaifeng's eyes were full of hurt, as if he had been deeply wounded.
Lingling: "..."
No, she really couldn't hold back anymore.
Their fists hardened.
Taking a deep breath and suppressing her volatile emotions, Lingling looked pitifully at her fiancé and said, "It's really not like that, Kaifeng, let me explain..."
“Okay, go ahead…” Kaifeng’s wounded expression hadn’t faded, and he looked like he was compromising for love. “I really don’t want to be separated from you, and I don’t want to have any distance between us, so I will listen to whatever you say.”
“There’s actually a reason for this…” Lingling said softly to the man, “My dad hasn’t been feeling well lately, but the tests haven’t found anything. Then a friend of his found out about his situation and introduced him to a feng shui master. The master said…”
Lingling recounted the incident half-truthfully, appearing as if she felt guilty and remorseful.
He concluded by apologizing, "Kaifeng, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to betray your feelings, but... even if what they said was a lie, we have to try for my dad's life..."
These words were spoken with sincerity, but if Kaifeng were to say anything more, he would be quite insensible.
As it turns out, he really was an immature person.
Upon hearing this, Kaifeng's eyes darkened, and he said coldly, "These things took me a lot of effort to make. I asked a master to make them, and the placement was the master's idea. It's supposed to be good for your uncle's health. How could you so easily believe the words of a charlatan? Quickly have someone put them back. Only when these things are in their original places will they be effective. If they are moved, they won't have any effect."
“But…” Lingling lowered her eyes, concealing the expression in them, “After those things were moved out, my dad’s complexion improved noticeably.”
Kaifeng's face flashed with impatience, but he still coaxed her patiently, "Lingling, be good. Put those things back. What's making your uncle sick must be something else, not these. Be a good girl."
“But that master said…” Lingling paused, “that we should burn all these things.”
"You've found a conman!" Kaifeng's expression completely broke down. He revealed a fierce look, and his voice involuntarily rose. "You should have kicked the conman out! How could you listen to his nonsense?"
“But…” Lingling’s eyes showed a hint of panic, and she couldn’t help but retort, “Kaifeng, how can you be so sure that the master you hired is truly skilled? The master recommended by my dad’s friend is a fraud?”
"What? You still don't believe me?"
“It’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just that logically speaking, my dad’s friends have a wider network of connections, so the master he recommends must be more than just a figurehead,” Lingling continued. “He must have some real skills, otherwise why would he get my dad’s friends to recommend him?”
"So you still look down on my family background, think my status is not respectable enough for you, is that it?" Kaifeng grabbed Lingling's shoulders and shook her violently, his eyes filled with madness. "You'd rather believe outsiders than believe me?"
The conversation between the two people gave Jiang Li goosebumps all over her body.
She reached out and poked Lu Shiyan's waist. "Tell me, why does a man like this even live?"
Lu Shiyan actually thought about it seriously for a moment, "Perhaps it's to highlight the goodness of the others?"
Jiang Li: "..."
She couldn't refute that reason.
However, she couldn't resist any longer and jumped off the tree.
"Jiang...you...who are you?" When Kaifeng saw Jiang Li, he was startled and immediately swallowed the address he was about to use. He scolded, "You've trespassed on someone else's property. I can call the police to arrest you!"
Jiang Li laughed, looking at the clown in front of her, raising an eyebrow and asking, "Oh? Is that so? Then may I ask, on what grounds did you call the police?"
