Chapter 229 Lin Heng regretted it!
Qin Zhizhi took a quick look and then looked away.
In the past two years, she has been busy helping the villagers make money so that her eldest brother and others can study without any worries.
Pampered by her parents' and husband's families, she lived a happy life with her husband and had long forgotten about Lin Heng.
Although there were some unpleasant things before, she felt that they were all a long time ago.
After all, she had never participated in the efforts made by the original owner and the Qin family for Lin Heng.
So from the beginning to the end, she felt disgust towards Lin Heng, not hatred towards him.
When she saw Lin Heng again today, she was just a little surprised and had no other thoughts.
Lin Heng came here today with the county magistrate and the county magistrate. The county magistrate naturally knew about the grudge between him and the Qin family.
But in the past two years, Lin Heng suddenly stopped making trouble, and the Qin family was also someone they wanted to make friends with, so when Lin Heng asked him for help, he thought about it again and again and finally brought him here.
Before leaving, Lin Heng repeatedly assured him that he would not cause any trouble today and that he was just here to visit.
Lin Heng also took the exam today, but failed. He felt very depressed and no longer had the same high spirits as before.
Ning Ning happened to be looking at Qin Zhizhi, and following Qin Zhizhi's gaze, she also saw Lin Heng.
She recognized Lin Heng at a glance. She had beaten them up in the restaurant before.
Ning Ning nudged Ning Xuan beside her and whispered, "Second brother, did you see the man in the green robe? He's Sister Zhizhi's ex-fiancé. We had a fight before."
"What?" Ning Xuan exclaimed.
Ning Ning quickly reached out and covered Ning Xuan's mouth. "Second brother, keep your voice down. There are so many people around."
Ning Xuan nodded, and Ning Ning released her hand that was covering Ning Xuan.
He whispered, "Sister, what should we do?"
Ning Ning moved closer to Ning Xuan and said, "The two of us will secretly watch him to prevent him from doing anything naughty. If he does, we have more people today and we will beat him up."
Ning Xuan felt that what his sister said made sense. Ning Xuan knew about the matter between Qin Zhizhi and Lin Heng. He had never had the chance to deal with Lin Heng, but now the opportunity had come.
So for the next period of time, the two of them kept staring at Lin Heng.
But Lin Heng remained obedient, and the two were very disappointed.
Gu Yunfei secretly looked at the two of them several times during the meal and felt that they were acting strangely today.
Qin Zhizhi followed Grandma, Mother, and Gu Yunfei around to greet them. She felt a little tired and wanted to go back and rest.
As a result, as soon as she left, Lin Heng chased after her.
Ning Ning and Ning Xuan also followed him out secretly.
When there were fewer people around, Lin Heng called out to Qin Zhizhi.
"Zhizhi, it's me!"
Qin Zhizhi knew that Lin Heng would come over, and she stopped when she heard him call her.
"Mr. Lin, what do you want from me?"
Qin Zhizhi can now face Lin Heng calmly.
"Zhizhi, I don't mean anything else. I just want to apologize to you. It was my mother and I's fault before."
"Mr. Lin, we no longer have any relationship. Please call me Madam Gu from now on, otherwise my husband will misunderstand."
Qin Zhizhi spoke calmly, and Lin Heng knew that his belated apology was meaningless.
"Zhizhi, if I had the chance to do it again, I would never cancel the engagement."
In the past two years, Lin Heng felt that if he and his mother had not been so snobbish, the situation today might not be like this.
He felt that he would definitely pass the high school entrance exam, and that he would be the one returning home in glory today.
She regretted missing Qin Zhizhi, but now Qin Zhizhi is beyond his reach.
"No matter how many times I have done this, I will always choose Gu Jinghuai. Mr. Lin, please don't mention this matter again. I will feel disgusted."
After Qin Zhizhi said this, she left without even looking at Lin Heng.
Lin Heng fell to the ground and burst into tears. He really knew that he was wrong, but there was no chance to make up for it.
The Ning family brother and sister who were hiding at the back and peeking shook their heads with regret. This scumbag didn't actually commit suicide.
Lin Heng stayed alone for a long time, and only went back after he had packed up.
The county magistrate was very anxious when he found out that Lin Heng was missing, but he came here today to accompany the county magistrate and could not leave for the time being.
Just when he was debating whether to go look for Lin Heng, he saw Lin Heng returning to his seat in a daze.
Seeing that his clothes were neat and his hair was not messy, the county magistrate breathed a sigh of relief, thank goodness he had not caused any trouble.
Otherwise, under these circumstances, they would definitely not be able to leave Qinjia Village.
The reason why he took the risk to bring him here was that he hoped he could come to his senses and live a good life with his daughter.
In the past two years, Lin Heng knew all the news about the Qin family, about Gu Jinghuai, and about Qin Zhizhi.
He never hid anything from Lin Heng. On the contrary, whenever there was good news, he would pretend to mention it casually, just to make his son-in-law give up.
Ever since Gu Jinghuai returned to his ancestral home and had the support of the eldest princess and the Gu family, even if Lin Heng was not convinced, they were no longer in the same class.
It was also from then on that Lin Heng's temperament gradually began to restrain himself.
The county magistrate stayed in Qinjia Village until the afternoon before returning. On the way back, the county magistrate and Lin Heng rode in the same carriage.
"You've seen what happened today. Live your life well from now on. We have no objection if you want to continue studying."
"You used to be impetuous and easily offended, but you've matured a lot in the past two years. You should continue with the scientific expedition."
He has been observing Lin Heng's performance in the past two years. He used to be afraid that he would abandon his daughter when he became successful, but now he is willing to continue to support his studies.
Although my daughter is still in love, my wife has put a lot of effort into educating her.
So the county magistrate thought that if he liked reading, he should continue to study, as life was so long.
"Thank you, father-in-law. I will definitely work hard."
The county magistrate patted Lin Heng on the shoulder and said earnestly, "It would be best if you could figure it out."
On the way back in the carriage, the two of them were each thinking about their own things, and for a while there was only the sound of the wheels.
Ning Xuan was a man who could not keep secrets, so he quietly went to find Gu Jinghuai and told him about Lin Heng's visit to Qin Zhizhi.
Gu Jinghuai said calmly, "Thank you, I understand."
Ning Xuan asked in surprise, "Aren't you curious?"
"I'm not curious. I trust my wife, and..." Gu Jinghuai paused.
"And what?" Ning Xuan asked curiously.
"Besides, I'm prettier than him, hold a higher official position, and am completely obedient to my wife. There's no reason for my wife to leave me behind and go after him!"
Ning Xuan was dumbfounded. This was still the Gu Jinghuai he knew. Why did he become so narcissistic now?
But he compared Lin Heng and Gu Jinghuai in his mind, and Gu Jinghuai was indeed more handsome.
Lin Heng was just a scholar, while Gu Jinghuai was the top scholar chosen by the emperor. There was no comparison.
As for what he said about being obedient, Ning Xuan thought about it and realized that the couple had indeed never had a quarrel, and Gu Jinghuai was full of praise for Qin Zhizhi when he mentioned her.
Thinking about it this way, Lin Heng really has no chance of winning.
