After saying that, he turned and strode away from the Lin family.
He turned around, and the fake smile on his face turned into a sneer.
Ha, he'd like to see how the Lin family will turn things around!
"Zi Mo, why act impulsively at a time like this?"
After everyone left, Lin Zishen sighed and looked at his younger brother earnestly, asking him what his brother was planning.
Ever since they received the news that their younger brother was injured and unconscious, Lin Zishen and his wife have been extremely worried.
Fortunately, he returned safely, but his personality had changed a lot.
The Lin family's current situation is not as good as it appears on the surface.
With the marriage agreement with the Xu family in place, others might have some reservations, but now...
"Second brother, I'm not acting on impulse." The annulment of the engagement was part of his plan.
However, before he could even approach the Xu family, the Lin family arrived instead.
Although this was somewhat unexpected, the outcome was good, and he was pleased with it.
"You..." Lin Zishen frowned as he looked at his younger brother. "Fine, then tell me your plans for the future?"
My younger brother has been abroad for several years, and he shouldn't have wasted his time. I just don't know what his plans are for the future.
Speaking of this, Lin Ziming became serious and briefly explained his thoughts.
He understood that this was a country in dire need of development, and that researchers like him were extremely rare.
However, he disliked having his freedom restricted, so he decided to pursue a civilian route.
Anyway, those people can develop those things, so one more person won't make a difference, and one less person won't make a difference either.
His identity is rather sensitive, so it's best for him to stay away from certain things.
Moreover, civilian machinery is also very important; it's essential for generating foreign exchange.
The two brothers talked in the study for a long time until Lu Wanhui came to call them for dinner, at which point they ended their conversation.
"Dad, what did you say? Zimo broke off our engagement? That's impossible!"
Xu Manru grabbed her father's hand, hardly believing her ears. How could he possibly call off the engagement?
A glint of cunning flashed in Xu Renhe's eyes. "What's impossible? I guess he's gotten too big for his britches since he came back from abroad."
He never mentioned that he was the one who brought it up, but instead pushed all the blame onto Lin Ziming.
"No, I don't believe it! I'm going to find him and ask him for an explanation!" Xu Manru couldn't accept it and turned to go to the Lin family.
Xu Renhe's face darkened upon seeing this. "Nonsense! It's not like my Xu family's daughters can't get married. What's the meaning of you rushing to the Lin family like this?"
“Manru, in my opinion, that kid has probably seen too much of the world abroad, otherwise how could he dare to treat you like this?”
"Manru, how about Dad sends you to study abroad? That way, you'll be a better match for him in terms of social standing, right?"
Xu Manru originally wanted to go to the Lin family to find out the truth, but after hearing what her father said, she subconsciously started to think about it.
Since he went abroad, their contact gradually disappeared, and she could only hear news about him by going to the Lin family.
Could it be, as Dad said, that he has seen the world's temptations and that's why he treats her this way?
Or perhaps he's found someone he likes over there?
If that's the case, then she definitely won't let that person off the hook!
However, studying abroad can be a way to enhance one's resume. She had wanted to go before, but her father didn't agree.
At the time, she thought her father didn't truly care about her, but now it seems that's not the case.
See? Dad was afraid she would be heartbroken because of the broken engagement, so he agreed to send her to study abroad. He really spoils her.
So she nodded, her gaze firm, and said, "Dad, I'll go."
Xu Renhe smiled and said, "Good, good, good, she is indeed my daughter."
Go back and prepare. Dad will go and make the contact. We should have results in a few days.
After Xu Manru agreed, she went back to pack, but she didn't see the deep look in her father's eyes when she turned around.
The news that Xu Manru was going abroad to pursue further studies spread like wildfire throughout the Xu family and among their close circle of friends.
So Xu Manni, who was originally planning to go to school to register in the afternoon, didn't even go to school and went to see her cousin instead.
"Sister Manru, I heard you're going to study abroad, is that true?"
When I entered my cousin's room, I saw that she had her brows furrowed, as if she were carrying a slight sorrow.
She found it a bit strange; her cousin was going abroad to study, so what was she worried about?
"Oh, it's Manny. I heard you got into medical school. Congratulations!"
Upon seeing Xu Manni, Xu Manru, though still carrying a hint of melancholy, forced a smile and asked.
She was quite close to this cousin, so she was very happy for her.
Xu Manni pouted, "If I could, I'd like to study abroad like my cousin."
Unfortunately, she knew she wouldn't have the chance to go abroad, since her family wasn't as well-off as her uncle's.
So she envied her cousin for being able to go abroad. Thinking of this, she asked again, "Sister Manru, why did you suddenly go abroad?"
I thought you two were going to get married after Zimo came back.
She knew perfectly well that her cousin's heart was completely devoted to Brother Mo.
Upon hearing the name Zi Mo, Xu Manru could no longer maintain her forced smile; she had once thought so too.
However, the reality was that he broke off the engagement with her!
"Sis, what's wrong?"
Xu Manni was quite good at reading people's expressions, and seeing her cousin's behavior, she asked cautiously.
"I...we've called off the engagement." Xu Manru gave a bitter smile.
Xu Manni was shocked upon hearing this and said in disbelief, "This, how is this possible? You two have such a good relationship."
Can Xu Manru say that they have almost lost contact since Lin Ziming went abroad?
Doesn't she have any pride?
"Sigh, I don't know the specifics, but I believe this was definitely not Zi Mo's intention."
"Manny, I... I'm going abroad soon. Could you... could you look after my son, Mo?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Manni felt a surge of joy, but she didn't show it at all. She nodded and said, "Don't worry, sister, I'll definitely keep an eye on things for you!"
Seeing this, Xu Manru smiled happily and turned around to give some money and tickets to Xu Manni.
“Manny, you’ll be a college student soon. Don’t neglect yourself when you get to school. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just write to me and I will definitely help you.”
Her family was much better off than Xu Manni's family, and she had plenty of pocket money that she couldn't possibly spend.
Now that she's about to go abroad, she's asking her cousin to do things for her, so of course she has to give her some benefits.
Xu Manni was delighted to see this, but declined, saying, "Sister Manru, I, I don't want it, I have my own money."
"It's your business if you have it, but this is my token of appreciation. Just accept it and remember to write to me later."
Xu Manru shoved the money into Xu Manni's hand and squeezed her hand tightly.
Xu Manni nodded in agreement and said that she would definitely keep a close eye on Lin Ziming.
Seeing her like this, Xu Manru was very satisfied. The two sisters chatted for a while longer before Xu Manni left.
When she got home, Xu Manni glanced at her haul for the day: over eighty yuan and a good number of tickets.
Seeing this, she finally smiled with satisfaction, but then a strange light flashed in her eyes.
