As soon as Su Shunci finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
"Miss, the princess has brought the third cousin of the Lin family to visit you."
Then came Shen Yue's voice, "Fourth sister, how are you? Third cousin wants to tell you something, would you like to see him?"
Su Shunci was in a trance. What was her third cousin doing here?
She wanted to say no, but when the words came to her lips, they turned into, "Sister-in-law, let him in."
Afterwards, a little maid led Lin Wuchen to the banquet room.
Su Shunci also changed into casual clothes and came out. Jinyun helped her lean on the couch in the banquet room and put a soft pillow behind her.
Lin Wuchen glanced at Jinyun, obviously wanting to talk to Su Shunci alone.
Jinyun did not move, she only listened to the young lady. Besides, if she went out, what would happen if the young lady was angry with her cousin again?
Su Shunci didn't know what Lin Wuchen was going to say, but he still told Jinyun, "You go out."
Jinyun looked at Su Shunci worriedly, bowed and went out.
When there were only two people left in the room, Su Shunci asked, "Why are you here, cousin? Is there something wrong?"
The tone was polite and distant, as if Lin Wuchen was just an insignificant distant relative.
To show that she didn't care, she picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
Lin Wuchen took two steps forward and stood in front of her.
"I heard you want to buy someone who's handsome and obedient. How about you take a look at me?"
"I'm not handsome, but I'm still pretty good looking."
"I don't eat much, and the price is not expensive. How about you consider it?"
Su Shunci almost vomited because of these words. Although she didn't vomit, she choked.
She took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth and coughed violently a few times, but fortunately she soon returned to normal.
She looked up at Lin Wuchen in surprise. Her third cousin today seemed like a completely different person compared to a few days ago.
A few days ago, he looked depressed and had no energy.
But today his eyes were bright, and he seemed a little nervous.
But what is he nervous about?
At this moment, he stood there, as if he was really waiting for her, the buyer, to speak.
Su Shunci cursed herself again in her heart for being useless. She had clearly thought it through. But when she looked at Lin Wuchen's face again, she was still flustered.
Fortunately, she had developed the ability to hide her emotions over the past few years, especially at times like this, she didn't want him to see what she was thinking.
So Su Shunci said with a stern face and a cold tone, "Even if I want to buy one, I'll buy someone like Xue Shaodong. He has good skin and even better bones, and he's pleasing to the eye."
For a moment, Lin Wuchen's face was black.
But he knew he was in the wrong and couldn't say anything to refute.
Lin Wuchen looked at Su Shunci steadily for a while, then sighed, pulled a chair over and sat down beside the small couch.
"Aci, I'm sorry."
When he said this, his eyes were always on Su Shunci and his tone was slightly low.
Just this one word "I'm sorry" made Su Shunci's eyes red.
She turned her head away, refusing to look at him.
I spoke as calmly as I could, "Third cousin, you don't really need to apologize. You haven't done anything wrong to me. If you're here to apologize, then I accept. Third cousin, please go back. It's not proper for us to meet like this."
Lin Wuchen didn't respond to her words, but continued to speak softly, "Aci, the matter between Bai Youxin and me is over."
Afterwards, Lin Wuchen calmly talked about what happened in Yunzhou Prefecture and the truth behind Xue Yuan's proposal of marriage. He told them all.
Su Shunci gradually came to her senses and was surprised and angry when she heard the last part.
"What is Bai Youxin going to do? This is not the way to bully someone."
The affairs of Yunzhou Prefecture can be said to be Bai Youxin and Lin Wuchen's affairs, which have nothing to do with her and she has no right to interfere.
But what right did Bai Youxin have to plot her marriage? Who she married was none of her business, Bai Shaodong.
Lin Wuchen took over Su Shunci's words and said, "Bai Youxin has indeed gone too far. We can't let her go."
"Aci, this is what I think..."
Lin Wuchen talked about his plan for the Bai family, and every time he spoke, he asked Su Shunci for his opinion.
Su Shunci listened carefully and would remind him of some details.
If Lin Wuchen said something she had not thought of, she would not hesitate to praise him.
When it comes to dealing with Bai Youxin, the two of them agree and use extreme methods.
Su Shunci was thinking, at this rate of progress, how long would it take for the Bai family to collapse?
As for the Bai family's business, she and Lin Wuchen would naturally not let go of any part that they could take over.
The business world is like a battlefield. Being kind to your enemies is being cruel to yourself.
When Bai Youxin plotted against her, she showed no mercy.
Her mind was still calculating the matter of the Bai family when she heard Lin Wuchen suddenly say, "Aci, I just proposed marriage to my aunt and Aunt Lian."
Su Shunci was stunned. Proposing marriage? Aren't we talking about the Bai family? Why is it proposing marriage?
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Lin Wuchen said again: "I was wrong before, you can ask for anything you want."
"After we get married, you can run your own business like you do now, and the Lin family and I will not interfere."
"All the money you earn is your private property. It has nothing to do with me or the Lin family."
"And all my property and my money will be given into your hands."
When Lin Wuchen said this, Su Shunci felt as if a lot of money had fallen on his head.
In fact, she knew that her current status made marriage negotiations very awkward. The wealthy families looked down on her, while the lesser families were afraid that they would be attracted by the power behind her.
She was not afraid of anything else, but she was afraid that her in-laws would use her to get involved with Prince Ning's Mansion and the Shen family, causing unnecessary trouble for her brother and elder sister.
The Lin family is indeed a good choice, and most importantly... she really likes Lin Wuchen.
She knew she was a loser, but she just couldn't control her love for him.
At this moment, she tried her best to control herself and not smile, but in fact, she was already a little excited.
Seeing that she was still silent with a sullen face, Lin Wuchen became anxious. He pulled Su Shunci's hand and put it on his face without hesitation.
"Aci, you don't know how much I like you."
"My appearance and structure aren't much worse than Xue Yuan's, right?"
His voice was low and tender, with a hint of sob at the end.
Su Shunci felt as if his heart was being scratched by a cat, and it felt numb and throbbing.
She originally intended to be reserved, but when her hand fell on Lin Wuchen's face, she touched it unconsciously.
Feeling her soft fingertips gently caressing his face, Lin Wuchen froze.
He suddenly grabbed the back of Su Shunci's head with one hand, and their foreheads touched each other.
“Aci…”
The next moment, he leaned in and kissed her.
