Chapter 347 Proposal (4)
Having said that, Tian Xin understood that it was time for her to leave!
The words "Please, don't leave" were like a spell that completely woke her up.
Two tears fell silently from her eye sockets like beads. She broke away from the crowd of onlookers and fled resolutely, her back full of determination, not giving Lin Zhou any chance to stay.
"Boss, wait a minute!"
Zhang Shuai quickly caught up with him, followed by Li Jing.
The two of them followed the path between the sea of flowers all the way to the door, and finally caught up with Tian Xin.
She was crying like a pear blossom in the rain, her face was covered with tears, but she refused to make a sound, pursing her lips and gritting her teeth, letting the tears flow freely down her face.
Zhang Shuai grabbed her and pulled her aside to sit down. He then wiped her tears with his hands.
She lowered her head, feeling drained of energy. Her shoulders shook with the rhythm of her sobs, and the tears she had just wiped away flowed back, quickly dripping onto the back of her hand.
"If you want to cry, just cry. Don't hold it in!"
Zhang Shuai wiped her tears again.
But her tears were like a floodgate that had been opened. They flowed out again just after she wiped them away, and she couldn't wipe them away in time.
Her stubbornness, helplessness and pain made Zhang Shuai feel extremely distressed at this moment.
"Don't be like this, okay?" He grabbed her shoulders, trying to persuade her. But Tian Xin seemed to have no strength to even lift her head, her neck drooping, lifeless.
He reached out his hand and impulsively wanted to hold her face.
He hesitated for a moment, but didn't do it.
"Hey, what are you doing!"
Li Jing came over and completed the action for her.
She held Tian Xin's face and hugged her: "Weren't you so strong just now? What's wrong? Why are you crying now? If you really can't bear to leave, it's not too late to go back now!"
"You're sick, why are you talking about this now?"
Zhang Shuai reached out to pull her, but she didn't move.
He saw Tian Xin leaning on Li Jing's shoulder and finally crying out loud.
"Okay, okay, I won't say any more," Li Jing patted her back and soothed her softly, "It's getting late. Why don't you go back first? Tomorrow morning, I'll go with you to find Lin Zhou and we can talk it out..."
"No..." She trembled and sobbed.
"Then why are you crying? If you don't want to..."
Before he could finish his words, Lin Zhou caught up with him!
This place was the main entrance to the scenic area, brightly lit and bustling with people. He was so anxious that his heart was already in his throat as he walked along the crowded road.
Seeing that she was still there, he finally let go of his worries. He ran over, pulled her out of Lin Jing's arms, and hugged her tightly. Then, he closed his eyes and cried.
At this moment, he was not afraid of anything!
"Let him go!" Zhang Shuai shouted, trying to separate the two.
He pushed him away and when he opened his eyes again, they seemed to be covered with a layer of coldness. After just one glance, Zhang Shuai frowned.
Then he let go of his hand and stopped touching him.
Tian Xin froze for a second, and when she realized where she was, she immediately pushed him away.
"Go away. Let's just treat today's events as a joke. I won't remember them, and you should forget about them too..."
She wiped away her tears and returned to her previous state in an instant, and her voice no longer trembled!
Li Jing's mouth dropped open in shock. Who was this person? How could he change his expression so quickly?
Turning to glance at Zhang Shuai, he was even more exaggerated. He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and his fur stood on end, like a lion whose territory had been robbed.
After Lin Zhou was pushed away by Tian Xin, he didn't think about leaving, and that sentence had no deterrent effect.
He quickly clung to her again and hugged her from behind.
“…”
“…”
“…”
The three were shocked!
It seems that this person really has no intention of saving face today!
"I won't leave, and you can't leave either!"
He leaned on Tian Xin's shoulder, buried his head in her neck, wrapped his arms around her waist tightly, and clasped her hands. No matter how Tian Xin tried to untie them, she couldn't.
Just when everyone was anxious, a scream suddenly broke through the sky and rushed into the ears of several people: "Let her go!"
Immediately afterwards, Lin Zhou was kicked.
He was still holding Tian Xin, and both of them were caught off guard and were almost knocked to the ground by the kick.
Fortunately, Li Jing was right next to them and grabbed the two of them.
A few people turned around and saw two middle-aged people, a man and a woman, standing behind Liang Xiao.
The man was none other than Lin Zhenhua, Lin Zhou's father, whom Tian Xin had just met.
"Who are you? Why are you hitting people..." Zhang Shuai yelled.
But before he could finish his roar, Li Jing stepped on him hard. He hissed in pain and immediately turned around to glare at her: "Are you sick? Why are you stepping on me?"
Li Jing ignored him and greeted Lin Zhenhua with a smile: "Uncle Lin, Auntie!"
Tian Xin also greeted him.
Lin Zhenhua glanced at Tian Xin and ignored her. He turned around and scolded Lin Zhou: "Come home with me!"
Lin Zhou was furious when he saw the two men standing with Liang Xiao. He immediately realized what was going on. He ignored his father's words, glared at Liang Xiao, and dragged Tian Xin out the door.
Everyone was stunned, including Tian Xin.
Just as she was about to reach the exit, she turned her head and looked back, and saw that those people had already caught up with her.
She shook off Lin Zhou's hand, stood still, and waited for someone to come.
As soon as Lin Zhenhua came over, he wanted to hit Lin Zhou, but was blocked by Tian Xin.
"Uncle, please stop hitting him. If you have anything to say..."
"Don't worry about it, let him beat him!" Lin Zhou turned back, pulled Tian Xin behind him, and looked at his father with a stubborn face.
"Kill me if you dare!"
The atmosphere became tense again. Lin Zhou and his father glared at each other, their faces red like fighting cocks, and neither of them was willing to bow first.
The younger generations didn't dare to step forward rashly.
Liang Xiao quickly glanced at the middle-aged woman next to him.
"Hey, what's going on?" The middle-aged woman stepped forward, looking at Lin Zhenhua's face with a flattering smile, while reaching out to pull Lin Zhou: "Father and son are not enemies, if you have anything to say, just talk it out..."
Unexpectedly, Lin Zhou dodged backwards and gave her a look of disgust.
The woman didn't catch him, and her smile froze. She turned to look at Lin Zhenhua, whose expression was equally grim. She withdrew her hand in frustration, not daring to persuade him any further.
This woman is Lin Zhou’s stepmother and Lin Zhenhua’s second wife - Li Qingning.
She is only a generation older than Lin Zhou, not yet 40 years old, and she is well maintained and looks very young.
Li Qingning felt suffocated and didn't dare to complain. Instead, she turned her gaze to Tian Xin and tried to change the subject.
"You must be Xiao Zhou's girlfriend! Her name is..."
"Tian Xin!"
Tian Xin responded politely.
"Auntie, how can you say that? I am the one who..."
"Xiaoxiao, why don't you go back first? Your uncle still has something to say to Lin Zhou, and it's not convenient for you to stay here!"
"If it's inconvenient for me, then it's convenient for her?"
Liang Xiao didn't seem to care who was standing opposite him. He wasn't afraid of offending them, he just wanted to emphasize his own status.
But women can never win in a war of words, and the first sign of it was extinguished by Lin Zhenhua's words.
"Girl, I can see that you are a good child!" He said this to Tian Xin. His face was expressionless, and his tone was neither hurried nor slow, but his words were imposing and weighty.
He said: "Lin Zhou likes you, as elders, we can't control it.
If you two just want to have a simple relationship, that's fine, I won't say anything more.
But our family is not a small one after all, and when it comes to important matters like marriage, there is absolutely no room for ambiguity.
He repeatedly contradicted me for your sake and, despite all my advice, spent all his savings to build a website for you and buy a house.
Today, just to propose marriage, he actually spent a huge amount of money to build such a place. It is so extravagant and wasteful, it is simply unreasonable!
If you were truly sensible, you would understand that you two are not the same kind of people. Even if you force yourself to be together, it may not last forever..."
