"I don't want to be like a fattened pig waiting to be slaughtered, fed and pampered until I'm sold for a high price. Like this pig, and like you, I look powerful but I can't fight back."
"So for me, the Lin family is the hellhole. I finally jumped out of it and stopped being a pig and became a human. What do I have to regret?"
She knew that Lin Xi was stubborn and saw through it, so even a few simple words could pierce Lin Xi's heart and make it bleed.
Lin Xi lowered her head and patted her big red cotton-padded jacket, which seemed impossible to get clean no matter how hard she patted it.
Suddenly I didn’t know what to argue with Lin Wenhui about.
Lin Wenhui was telling the truth. No one respected her at home. It was just like this tacky dress she was wearing. She didn't want to wear it, but in the end, didn't she have to wear it anyway?
Who cares about her likes and dislikes?
They just gave her a perfunctory response, and to do so they even made a bunch of invitations as if to please her. But everyone knew that invitations were not used like that, and they couldn't be used at a wedding like this.
Oh... who cares?
Everyone only cared about the result, only cared about whether the two families could form an in-law relationship. No one cared whether she was happy or not, and no one cared about her wishes.
Lin Wenhui sighed, "Lin Xi, you laugh at me for living in poverty for the rest of my life, but to be honest... I'm more afraid of living like you, where you don't even have the freedom to dress and wear clothes."
Lin Wenhui knew Lin Xi well, so she could naturally tell that Lin Xi's outfit today couldn't possibly reflect her own ideas and aesthetics.
Seeing that Lin Xi's face was pale and he no longer had the arrogance he had just forced himself to have, Lin Wenhui suddenly felt like the mountain that had been pressing down on her was heavy.
The mountain that had always cast a shadow on her and made her afraid to cross...was actually just a small hill.
"Lin Xi, I used to be afraid of you, and I even envied you, but now... I just feel that you are pitiful and pathetic..."
The two people stood facing each other, one dressed decently and cleanly, the other covered in mud in clothes that they both thought were particularly ridiculous, as if reflecting each other's future lives.
Lin Xi silently picked at the mud that had begun to dry on his sleeves, his eyes filled with a complex expression of resentment yet tears welled up in his eyes: "So after all I've said, you still came to laugh at me?"
"Now that you've seen it, are you happy?"
"Happy." Lin Wenhui answered firmly.
She wouldn't say anything hypocritically - she should have been happy, but for some reason, seeing Lin Xi like this, she couldn't smile at all.
She is not that kind. If she were, she would not have mustered up the courage to come out alone to find Lin Xi from the beginning.
So when she saw Lin Xi in trouble, she could just laugh and was so happy!
Lin Wenhui laughed so hard that tears came out: "Seeing you pretending to be stubborn even though you know you're jumping into a fire pit, you have no idea how happy I am."
"Lin Xi, do you still remember how you laughed at me before?"
Imitating Lin Xi's tone, Lin Wenhui returned all the insults Lin Xi had used against her - "You said Kou Liyan just loves drinking and is old, but he knows how to care for others when he's older. He loves drinking, but now that he's older, he doesn't drink much. You said I'm not that popular either, and I'm not satisfied with this guy. How can you be so ungrateful?"
Wiping away the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes, Lin Wenhui looked at Lin Xi, who was pursing her lips and looking at her with hatred, and chuckled softly: "Why is there that expression? Am I wrong? I remember you laughed at me like this before."
"At that time, I asked you, if Kou Liyan is as good as you said, why don't you marry him? What did you say?"
"You said that since I'm Dad's biological daughter, of course this kind of 'good thing' should be given to me."
Lin Xi was so arrogant and took advantage of others' misfortunes at that time.
So the same thing goes, seeing how unlucky Lin Xi is now, how could Lin Wenhui not laugh?
If she couldn't laugh, she would feel guilty about the humiliation and ridicule she had suffered from her stepsister Lin Xi.
Lin Wenhui: "You should be happy now. I was ignorant. This 'good thing' has happened to you. Don't get too excited. Uncle Kou can't stand your excitement at his age."
She said calmly, "It's a great day, don't let a happy occasion turn into a sad one, like the clothes you're wearing now... How unlucky."
"Lin Wenhui! I'll tear your mouth apart!"
Lin Xi was enraged and raised his hand to hit Lin Wenhui in the face again, but he didn't expect to hear footsteps behind them.
Chen Fei: "I see, the person is over there, hurry over!"
Hearing the noise, Lin Wenhui took a step back, exposing Lin Xi completely. She whispered, "Sister, happy wedding! I wish you and my brother-in-law a long and happy life together."
Lin Xi: “!”
This bitch!
A bitch who has always pretended to be a coward but is actually full of evil!
She wanted to slap Lin Wenhui in the face with all her strength, but when her mother approached her, she was slapped in the face first.
Covering her face, Lin Xi couldn't believe it: "Mom?"
Chen Fei was furious: "You still know I'm your mother? What have I told you these past few days? You're playing me a trick at the critical moment. Aren't you really afraid that if our family offends the Kou family, they'll all be left with nothing?"
"No." Lin Xi said aggrievedly, "Mom, I just came out to get some fresh air."
Chen Fei looked her daughter up and down, and saw the mud on her daughter's clothes, and her eyes flashed with disgust.
"Get some fresh air? Xiaoxi, why are you so disobedient? I told you to stay in the room quietly, but you didn't. You thought you were smart enough to come out for some fresh air. Now look at what you've done to yourself."
As she spoke, Chen Fei started to cry: "How can I explain this to my in-laws? You've ruined my good clothes like this. Come on, go back and change while you still have time."
As long as the person doesn't run away from the marriage, no matter what happens, it can be remedied.
There was no time to deal with Lin Wenhui. Chen Fei didn't even glance at Lin Wenhui and pulled Lin Xi away.
I pulled once, but it didn't move. I pulled again, but found that my daughter still didn't move.
She turned back in surprise: "Xiaoxi?"
Lin Xi didn't know what her mood was at the moment. She felt very confused. The words Lin Wenhui had just said seemed to echo in her mind.
Clenching her fists, she looked at Chen Fei with pleading eyes for the first time: "Mom, can I not get married?"
Chen Fei frowned: "Didn't you say you didn't want to escape the marriage?"
Besides, there are so many people who came out to help her find someone, and they are all listening here. If someone talks too much and tells Kou Liyan what his daughter said... what will the Kou family think?
Chen Fei smiled and explained to the people around her as if to smooth things over: "The girl is young and she's just shy and throwing a tantrum because she's about to get married."
She has said this, what can people around her say?
