Gao Jiakai reacted instantly, then stared in disbelief: "Brother Lin, you're not going to tell me it's that little girl, are you?"
Lin Congzhi replied without room for argument: "Nonsense, didn't I just tell you?"
"She's here?"
Gao Jiakai thought Yaoyao was just talking on the phone with Brother Lin, but he didn't expect her to have already arrived.
Brother Lin, you rascal! Didn't you just say that your sister-in-law didn't come and you didn't call your aunt?
Lin Congzhi grinned, beaming, "Aren't you happy?"
Gao Jiakai immediately berated him: "Happy my ass! I'd rather avoid her right now!"
Lin Congzhi ignored him, his expression turning serious, and urged again, "What are you hiding for? She was invited over for dinner by my parents, go open the door quickly."
"No way? Uncle and Aunt..."
Gao Jiakai looked at Mr. and Mrs. Lin, wanting them to confirm, and also hoping they would be lenient and rescue him.
Lin's parents sensed the complex emotions in Gao Jiakai's eyes, but respecting the facts, they would only say what they meant.
“That’s right, we just had your brother Lin call Miss Jiang and Yaoyao.”
Gao Jiakai asked in bewilderment, "Why?"
Mr. and Mrs. Lin explained matter-of-factly, "There's no reason. We're all familiar people. We just had a meal together to catch up and also to apologize to Miss Jiang on behalf of my son."
"this……"
Gao Jiakai was speechless after being rebuked.
Everything is perfectly logical; how can you expect him to refute it?
"You got what you deserved, didn't you?"
Lin Congzhi smiled broadly, overjoyed.
Since they were invited by their elders, Gao Jiakai felt embarrassed to turn Yaoyao away, so he had no choice but to open the door dejectedly.
Although she was outside the door, Yao Yao could vaguely hear the argument inside the house.
The loudest person was Gao Jiakai, who didn't seem happy and didn't welcome her arrival.
This outcome was within her expectations, but she never expected it to actually happen; moreover, she overheard it, which was the most embarrassing thing.
As soon as he opened the door, Gao Jiakai saw Yao Yao with her head down, looking uneasy.
The little girl seemed terrified and afraid of him.
He initially intended to give her a cold shoulder, but upon seeing her pitiful face, he softened.
"Come in, don't get cold outside."
Although the tone was calm, it wasn't chilling.
Yao Yao's anxious mood improved considerably.
She gave a slight bow, said thank you, and then passed by Gao Jiakai, who was tall, imposing, and as suffocating as Mount Tai.
Seeing that she was running faster than a rabbit, Gao Jiakai curled his lips and called out to her in a cold voice, "Why are you walking so fast?"
Yao Yao asked anxiously, "Is...is there something else?"
The girl was genuinely scared. Gao Jiakai stopped teasing her and asked normally, "Has Sister-in-law Jiang arrived?"
After hesitating for a moment, Yao Yao replied, "She...didn't come!"
From Yao Yao's hesitant demeanor, Gao Jiakai sensed that she was hiding something, and pressed her for details: "Are you sure?"
Realizing that Gao Jiakai suspected her, Yao Yao quickly answered sincerely, nodding vigorously: "I'm sure, absolutely sure."
With a bang, Gao Jiakai closed the door and then silently walked to the dining table.
Lin's mother, who had been watching the situation, could no longer bear it. She put down her chopsticks, left her seat, and came over to protect Yao Yao: "Xiao Kai, you scared Yao Yao."
Kao Chia-kai denied it: "No way! This is just normal pressure."
