Ye Wenyu thought her mother was right, so she didn't insist anymore. She went back to her room and changed into her pajamas. To be honest, they were really warm. She now understood why some people liked to wear such pajamas around in the streets during winter.
Sure enough, when Uncle Wang returned home and saw Ye Wenyu wearing the loungewear he had bought for her, he was so happy that his mouth almost stretched to his ears.
The next day, Ye Wenyu and Zhang Susu stayed at home. With the New Year approaching, the two of them planned to buy New Year's goods. Zhang Susu muttered to herself, thinking about what the family needed to buy for the New Year, while Ye Wenyu wrote down her plans in a shopping list.
Both mother and daughter were in a good mood.
Just then, the doorbell rang, and Zhang Susu tensed up again. Her old face turned pale, and she asked Ye Wenyu worriedly, "Who is it? Does that Lin guy know my address?" Her voice trembled slightly.
Ye Wenyu knew that her mother was worried about Lin Tingfeng again. She stood up to open the door and smiled at her, "Mom, it might be Cai Wenchuan."
Hearing this, Zhang Susu was indeed pleased and stood up with a smile. Ye Wenyu went to open the door, and Cai Wenchuan was indeed standing outside, but there was another guest, Lin Tingyue.
Ye Wenyu was stunned for a moment, feeling as if she had tripped and fallen while walking on flat ground. She knew that Cai Wenchuan and Lin Tingyue knew each other, but she was still very surprised to see them standing side by side at her front door.
Zhang Susu was also shocked to see Lin Tingyue, who was as dazzling as a fairy.
She thought anxiously and disappointedly, "Didn't Cai Wenchuan tell me yesterday that he was single? Why is he bringing a pretty young girl to my house today? What does this mean? This Cai is dishonest. I'll have a good talk with him later!"
Lin Tingyue smiled at Ye Wenyu, then looked at Zhang Susu, and greeted her in a crisp, polite voice, "Hello, Auntie." She handed over two gift boxes.
Being overly polite is never a bad thing, so Zhang Susu greeted them with a smile and said, "It's cold, come inside quickly."
Lin Tingyue was a reasonable person. She glanced at Zhang Susu's expression and immediately guessed her disappointment. She smiled and explained to Zhang Susu, "No, Auntie, Ye Wenyu and I are classmates. Cai Wenchuan is a teacher at our school, so I came with him to visit Tingyue today. Teacher Cai and I are teacher and student. Please don't misunderstand."
Zhang Susu immediately dispelled all her doubts and greeted them warmly, saying happily, "Oh, you're my classmates! Come on in, it's cold outside. Auntie will get you some fruit and tea."
Ye Wenyu was taken aback when she heard Lin Tingyue's answer. She looked at Lin Tingyue and asked, "She said she was my classmate. She was a freshman at Q University, while I, Lin Tingyue, was from a third-tier university. How could we be classmates? This rich young lady lies without batting an eye. Why would she lie?"
Furthermore, why did she deliberately try to distance herself from Cai Wenchuan in her words? What was the meaning behind that?
Third, what is her purpose in coming to see her today? Does she want her to break up with Lin Tingfeng, or does she want her to get back together with Lin Tingfeng?
Ye Wenyu felt completely bewildered, unable to understand it no matter how hard she tried.
I used to think Lin Tingyue was an empty-headed little fool with only an appearance and no thoughts. Now I see that she is as cunning as a fox, and I am no match for her.
Ye Wenyu tensed up, her mind racing with alarm bells, constantly on guard.
At this moment, Cai Wenchuan also glanced at Lin Tingyue in shock, as if he too was unable to accept what she had said. Ye Wenyu inadvertently noticed the expression on Cai Wenchuan's face and found that his eyes were slightly red, as if he had been hurt.
What is the relationship between Cai Wenchuan and Lin Tingyue?
Ye Wenyu quietly looked at Lin Tingyue, then at Cai Wenchuan, a series of questions rising in her mind.
She had an extremely strong bad feeling that the relationship between Brother Wen and Lin Tingyue was much deeper than that between her and him.
Seeing Zhang Susu busy entertaining them, Lin Tingyue immediately smiled and said, "No, Auntie, we're going out to play, please don't trouble yourself."
Ye Wenyu was taken aback again. When did she agree to go out with Lin Tingyue? What would her mother think if she knew that Lin Tingyue was Lin Tingfeng's sister?
This Miss Lin's personality of always giving orders and making arrangements for others is really similar to Lin Tingfeng's.
Ye Wenyu felt somewhat displeased.
At this moment, Lin Tingyue looked at Ye Wenyu with her big, watery eyes and smiled, saying, "Xiaoyu, let's go out and play. A Japanese restaurant has opened in Henglong. I'll treat you to Japanese food."
Zhang Susu felt relieved after hearing that they were classmates, not rivals in love. She urged Ye Wenyu, "Go, go. Don't stay at home all day during the holidays. You have no friends." Her tone was just like that of any mother in the world: "If a child goes out every day, she complains that he doesn't come home. If he stays at home every day, she scolds him for being useless and only knowing how to stay at home."
Ye Wenyu really didn't want her mother to know too much about Lin Tingyue, so she had no choice but to agree, change her clothes, and go out with Cai Wenchuan and Lin Tingyue.
Three young men went outside.
It was another awkward trip for the three of them. Ye Wenyu gradually realized that whenever the three of them went out together, something bad was bound to happen.
The snow had completely melted, and the sun was shining brightly outside, but because it was winter, there was a sense of stillness everywhere.
Three young people squinted as they walked outside in the bright sunshine.
Ye Wenyu asked Lin Tingyue, "Did you need something?" She thought to herself that Lin Tingyue had played a crucial role in her decision to break up with Lin Tingfeng. If Lin Tingyue hadn't taken her to the sanatorium in the suburbs of S City to see Lin Tingxuan, who was in solitary confinement, she wouldn't have broken up with Lin Tingyue so decisively and quickly.
She always felt that the real Lin Tingyue was far from the naive and innocent young lady she knew on the surface. Every action she took had a purpose behind it. She was actually a scheming woman who pretended to be weak while actually being strong.
Lin Tingyue chuckled, turned her head to Ye Wenyu, and asked in return, "You broke up with my brother, aren't you going to thank me?"
Thanks? Ye Wenyu looked at her. No, she didn't thank her. Because, she had a gut feeling that although she and Lin Tingfeng had broken up voluntarily, she knew, with a woman's intuition, that Lin Tingyue wasn't kind to her and had her own ulterior motives!
Lin Tingyue dared not meet Ye Wenyu's piercing gaze and lowered her head.
Ye Wenyu continued to ask Lin Tingyue, "Why did you lie to my mother and say that you and I were classmates? Why did you sever ties with Cai Wenchuan?"
"Me and Xiaowenzi—" Lin Tingyue laughed when she heard Ye Wenyu's question. She regained her composure, slowly raised her head, glanced at Cai Wenchuan with an amused expression, and smiled at Ye Wenyu, "I'm a smart person. I could tell at a glance that your mother wants to marry you off to Xiaowenzi, so I'm drawing a line so that Auntie won't treat me like an enemy." Then she added to Ye Wenyu, "Don't worry, I have absolutely no feelings for Xiaowenzi."
