(532)
The cold wind blowing outside the library made her feel much more awake.
Ye Wenyu continued to ask curiously, "Why does he want to see you? He has three children." Cai Wenchuan is just the son of the Lin family's steward.
Cai Wenchuan got into his car, opened the door, and let Ye Wenyu sit in the passenger seat. He started the engine and said to her with a sigh, "It's a long story. In short, Grandpa Lin treated me very well, and I couldn't not go to see him one last time."
Ye Wenyu nodded, but doubts still lingered in her mind; she felt as if she were in a maze.
She thought to herself that Wen Chuan didn't have time to talk about it now, or rather, he hadn't decided whether or not to tell her about the past.
However, the fact that he was willing to take her with him to face Lin Tingyue and everything about the Lin family today shows that he still cares about her and that he truly intends to start a new life.
Therefore, Ye Wenyu felt a warmth in her heart, and a glimmer of hope rekindled in her previously dark and despairing state. She decided to take it one step at a time, observe carefully, and wait quietly, believing that the truth would eventually come to light.
Cai Wenchuan stepped on the gas, and the car sped towards the Lin family's old house.
When Ye Wenyu got out of Cai Wenchuan's car, she saw the Lin family's old house. Looking up and down, she was overwhelmed with emotions. This was the first time she had stepped into the Lin family's old house in this life, and she was doing so as Cai Wenchuan's girlfriend.
The Lin family's residence was adorned with a profusion of flowers and various trees, making it as magnificent as a castle from a fairy tale.
Cai Wenchuan parked the car and got out. His heart was also filled with mixed feelings. Time flies, and he grew up in a cabin in the woods near this old house. In his youth, he always looked up at this old house with pain. After being with Wenyu, he wanted to end the past and start anew, but Lin Tingyue called him again, telling him that Grandpa Lin was critically ill and wanted to see him.
He returned to this place, a place he had sworn countless times to stay away from.
Everything about the Lin family, everything about them, rushed towards him like a tidal wave, almost suffocating him.
At this moment, a pretty figure ran out of the mansion. Upon seeing Cai Wenchuan, she immediately pounced on him like a little bird and familiarly took his hand.
Ye Wenyu and Cai Wenchuan were both conscripts.
The person who came was Lin Tingyue! She seemed not to see Ye Wenyu, grabbed Cai Wenchuan's hand and said urgently, "Dad wants to see you, come in quickly!" With that, she turned around, took Cai Wenchuan's hand and hurriedly walked into the house.
Ye Wenyu stared intently at the two hands clasped together. No matter how magnanimous she was, she couldn't bear the thought of her boyfriend holding another woman's hand!
My heart sank like a stone to the bottom of a valley. The hope that had risen in the car just now seemed like a cruel joke.
It's probably better not to have any hope for someone like Cai Wenchuan.
Cai Wenchuan's feet seemed to be nailed to the spot. His face was pale and his body was stiff. He couldn't see Ye Wenyu's expression because she was standing behind him, but he knew that at this moment, Lin Tingyue was taking his hand, and he couldn't let her do that!
But they hadn't been in contact or seen each other for several months. It felt like years since she'd last held his hand. Many years had passed between them before they were so intimately close again. He loved her like a cicada larva, having spent over a decade underground. When her small, soft hand tightly grasped his, an electric shock-like sensation reached the depths of his soul, as if he had finally emerged from darkness into a sunlit world. He trembled uncontrollably, wanting to burst into song. He truly couldn't bear to let go of her hands!
In front of the mansion was a huge garden, full of all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, with a rich fragrance; it was like a beautiful dream.
Cai Wenchuan was torn. Reason and emotion were like two equally matched armies battling in his mind. In the end, reason prevailed. He reached out his other hand, took Lin Tingyue's hand, and said to her calmly and restrainedly, "My girlfriend is behind me. Let go."
Lin Tingyue was stunned. She looked up and saw Ye Wenyu standing behind Cai Wenchuan. She smiled disdainfully, let go of his hand, and said to Cai Wenchuan in a cheerful tone, "Oh my, Wenchuan, you have a girlfriend now. Why didn't you tell me? And this girlfriend is a mutual acquaintance of ours. Xiaoyu, you're here too. What a coincidence. My brother is home today. Did you come to see my dad or my brother?"
Ye Wenyu felt dizzy! What a melodramatic plot! Yes, how could she forget that Old Master Lin was critically ill, and Lin Tingfeng, as the eldest son, must be at home.
She didn't know how to face Lin Tingfeng. Their last meeting was a long time ago. She still clearly remembered him shouting helplessly behind her, "You'll regret this!" His voice was hoarse, filled with helpless despair.
Cai Wenchuan's expression changed, and he said to Lin Tingyue, "Xiaoyue, don't talk nonsense! Wenyu is my girlfriend, she just came with me." As he spoke, he walked to Ye Wenyu's side and took her hand. He held her hand tightly, so tightly that it seemed abnormal, as if she was not his girlfriend, but his lifeline.
At this moment, Lin Tingfeng also came out. When he saw Ye Wenyu, he remained calm, but his originally cold eyes softened a little the instant he saw her.
Ye Wenyu felt a pang of panic, as if a rabbit was trapped in her chest. The Lin Family Garden had lost its former tranquility and beauty, and had become a battlefield.
At this moment, Lin Tingyue said, "Let's go, let's go. What are you all standing outside for?" Then, she looked at Lin Tingfeng triumphantly, as if to Cai Wenchuan, "Your dad is abroad now, right? My dad wants to see you and your dad, but now he can only see you."
Lin Tingfeng's face darkened, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Lin Tingyue felt a surge of pride and walked into the Lin family's old house with her head held high, accompanied by Cai Wenchuan and Ye Wenyu.
Ye Wenyu walked past Lin Tingfeng with her head down, her heart pounding with anxiety. She dared not look up at him, but she knew that beneath his calm exterior lay immense disappointment and pain.
She also knew that things were different now. In this life, just like in her previous one, Lin Tingfeng was surrounded by enemies on all sides, and it seemed that he would have to fight alone.
As Ye Wenyu passed by Lin Tingfeng, he stood there like a tall tree that always stood straight. However, because he kept his head down, Ye Wenyu could see that his hands, hanging at his sides, were trembling uncontrollably.
He must be very angry and upset.
He is now isolated and helpless, with almost everyone on his side.
