Uncle Cai looked at her, and Ye Wenyu had no choice but to muster up her courage and say directly, "Uncle, it's not like that. The reason I disagree is because your son has another woman in his heart. As the saying goes, forced love is never sweet. How can two people get married if they have no feelings for each other?"
Upon hearing this, Uncle Cai's face suddenly changed color, his once ruddy and energetic face turning ashen. Ye Wenyu noticed that his hand holding the teacup also began to tremble, and the tea spilled out.
She saw it all but remained silent. It seemed that Uncle Cai actually knew that Cai Wenchuan liked Lin Tingyue.
The private room seemed to have become hot. Beads of sweat appeared on Uncle Cai's forehead.
"Sigh—" After an unknown amount of time, Uncle Cai sighed and said to Ye Wenyu, "Child, I originally thought that with you, things would be over. So at first, although I knew about this, I didn't tell you, because in my eyes, that girl was not even worth a hair on your head."
Ye Wenyu smiled. In Uncle Cai's eyes, she was so outstanding that she should naturally feel happy.
Uncle Cai sighed, ate a couple of bites of food hastily, and said to her, "That girl, even if she were willing to marry my son, let alone be the eldest daughter of the Lin family, I wouldn't agree!"
What? Even if Miss Lin is willing to marry into the Cai family, Uncle Cai doesn't agree.
Ye Wenyu was quite surprised when she heard this. Her eyes widened as she stared at Uncle Cai.
Uncle Cai looked worried and slowly said to Ye Wenyu, "Lin Tingyue is very pretty, but I think she's still a little bit inferior to you. That little girl has never been a good student and doesn't like to study. My son does a lot of her homework for her. In the past, when I saw that Wenchuan was doing her homework, I noticed but didn't say anything because I never expected things to develop to this point."
Ye Wenyu nodded, indicating that she was listening. Her chopsticks hovered in mid-air, but she had already forgotten about eating. However, seeing that Uncle Cai's water glass was empty, she considerately refilled it for him.
Uncle Cai, lost in memories of the past, smiled bitterly at her, "So now, the family spent money to get her into a third-rate undergraduate program, a degree from a lousy university. What kind of temperament can you expect from such an empty-headed, ignorant girl? They say marrying a good wife brings prosperity to three generations, while marrying a stupid wife ruins three generations. No matter how rich their family is, I still can't stand them!"
Ye Wenyu smiled; elders have their own perspective. Uncle Cai's dissatisfaction with Lin Tingyue can be indirectly interpreted as his satisfaction with her.
Uncle Cai continued, "If I marry Lin Tingyue, who will take care of my grandson's studies? Studying now is not like it used to be; parents have to be fully committed. Don't think I don't know this; I understand it very well. That's why finding a smart, highly educated daughter-in-law will give my grandson and granddaughter a chance to succeed in the future."
Ye Wenyu smiled, feeling a warmth in her heart, thinking that Uncle Cai was truly clever and adorable.
Uncle Cai continued with a smile, "Besides that, that girl is also wicked. When she was little, her eldest brother had just returned to the Lin family and was celebrating his first birthday at the old house. She dared to catch a few cockroaches and put them on the birthday cake. It didn't scare the young master, but it did scare his mother. The old lady almost went crazy, screaming and running all over the house. At that time, the second madam was still at the old house. The little girl wanted to drive away the young master and his mother so she could take charge of the family herself."
"I see," Ye Wenyu nodded inwardly. It seemed the conflict between the Lin siblings had begun in their childhood. She now understood, to some extent, why Lin Tingfeng disliked Lin Tingyue. Perhaps it was because he was a cunning and calculating man, too complex himself, that he disliked Lin Tingyue, who was similar to him.
She was so naive before, always thinking that Lin Tingyue was just an empty-headed vase, without any thoughts or wisdom. Now it seems that she was quite remarkable, capable of scaring Lin Tingfeng's mother into screaming and going crazy when she was a child. She was simply a scheming little devil!
Uncle Cai took a bite of food and continued slowly, "Later, the second wife and the master divorced. After the divorce, the second wife went abroad without taking the eldest daughter with her. The eldest daughter felt like an abandoned child, so she became even worse. She beat up teachers and classmates at school, skipped classes, wore very short skirts, dyed her hair every few days in all sorts of terrible colors, had several piercings in her ears and navel, smoked and drank, hung out with thugs, and later even started using drugs—"
What?! Drug use?!
Ye Wenyu was startled, the surprise like a bolt from the blue. She stared wide-eyed at Uncle Cai. She never imagined Lin Tingyue would be a drug addict; she looked so healthy, beautiful, lively, and adorable.
The truth is truly astonishing.
Now she fully understands why Uncle Cai and Aunt Cai went to great lengths to prevent their son from being with Lin Tingyue.
No man in the world would want his son to marry such a terrible woman.
Uncle Cai sighed and said, "Of course, that was in the past. He probably doesn't smoke anymore now. But with such a dark history, how could I let my son marry a wife like that? Xiaoyu, you know what I mean? I'm so glad she's from a wealthy family and we're just their workers. There's no way there could really be anything between us. But after she went back to China, I found that when my son saw her, he was like a man possessed, completely out of control."
At this point, the old man's face showed confusion and bewilderment. He slowly said, "With just a smile or a call from her, my son seems to lose his soul, revolving around her. When I saw the camphor tree and the young lady's childhood photos, which Wen Chuan treasured, I knew it was all over. If I didn't step in to stop it, my son would be ruined by that little wicked girl! Besides, she doesn't love my son. Her boyfriends, starting from junior high school, could form an army, and she changes them every year, never staying with one for long. Her relationships are very chaotic. My son will only get hurt if he stays with a woman like that."
So that's how it is. Ye Wenyu was stunned. So Lin Tingyue was such a terrifying girl. She could now completely understand Uncle Cai.
Uncle Cai said to her with emotion, “A person only sleeps in one bed and eats three meals a day in their lifetime. How much money can they possibly spend? Money is enough as long as it’s sufficient. His mother and I have already saved enough for retirement, and we’ll retire in a few years. Wen Chuan himself teaches at a university and earns a considerable amount each year. Good universities have a lot of research funding, so even if the Lin family were willing to marry their eldest daughter into our family, and they were mutually in love, I wouldn’t agree to it based on her character! She’s not good enough for my son. So, Xiao Yu, Uncle has a request—”
