Lin Qinghuan looked at Bai Lu's disdainful smile, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips, and walked up to Wang Xin.
"I'm a poor, down-on-his-luck fellow, are you a landlord or a rich man? I wonder if your family was targeted during the land reform movement. Maybe I should go to the police station to report you. You might be a hidden spy, deliberately sabotaging the peace of the country."
"Wang Xin, my family has been poor farmers for eight generations. We're not afraid of being investigated by the police. I wonder if your Wang family can withstand such an investigation?"
Lin Qinghuan patted Wang Xin's face as she spoke, "Don't mess with me. If you anger me, I'm even afraid of myself."
Wang Xin looked at Lin Qinghuan with a pale face and fear in her eyes.
Lin Qinghuan looked at Wang Xin, a mocking smile curling at the corner of her lips.
It's likely that the Wang family is involved in some sordid affair that they don't want outsiders to know.
She didn't like to pry into other people's private affairs, but Wang Xin kept pushing her to the limit, making her unable to tolerate it any longer.
Lin Qinghuan looked at Qin Zhen with an icy expression and said in a deep voice, "Qin Zhen, how long are you going to keep seeing your first love, or are you just trying to embarrass me, Lin Qinghuan, today?"
Qin Zhen's heart tightened when he heard the anger in Lin Qinghuan's tone. He quickly looked at Lin Qinghuan and said, "Qinghuan, I..."
Lin Qinghuan interrupted Qin Zhen, her gaze towards him cold. "Don't say anything. Your every word and action proves what you're thinking. If your heart isn't clear, don't provoke me."
"We don't need to eat today. Since you're taking us home, please call Xiao Wang and ask him to come pick us up."
As Lin Qinghuan spoke, she walked towards the front door, unwilling to stay at Qin Zhen's house for even a moment longer.
Qin Zhen looked at Lin Qinghuan's gloomy face. The light that used to shine in her eyes when she looked at him had disappeared, leaving only indifference.
Qin Zhen panicked and grabbed Lin Qinghuan, but Lin Qinghuan broke free of Qin Zhen's hand, saying, "Don't touch me."
Qin Zhen looked at his hands in disbelief, then looked at Lin Qinghuan and explained, "Qinghuan, let me explain..."
Lin Qinghuan interrupted Qin Zhen again, "Explain what? Explain why you kept staring at your ex-girlfriend, or explain why you ignored your cousin when she called me a poor, worthless piece of trash and let her insult me."
"I..." Qin Zhen was speechless after being rebuked by Lin Qinghuan.
"Qin Zhen, you disgust me," Lin Qinghuan said bluntly.
Standing next to Wang Xin, Qin's mother said with a displeased expression, "You're so petty, don't try to pin everything on my Ah Zhen."
Lin Qinghuan turned to look at the woman who spoke. She was well-dressed, had a pretty face, and was about forty years old.
Lin Qinghuan scoffed: "If I'm petty and narrow-minded, then you're the one being pointed at and called a poor, worthless piece of trash, yet you're still smiling and chatting with the person who insulted you. Your man is staring at another woman, and that woman is your man's first love, yet you're still close to your man's first love and befriend her. You're really magnanimous."
A hint of anger appeared on Qin Zhen's face. "Lin Qinghuan, you're too willful."
Lin Qinghuan looked at Qin Zhen and said, "I am willful, and I have to endure everyone's criticism. Does that make me magnanimous? But why should I swallow my anger? Is it because I am poor, or because I don't deserve other people's respect?"
Qin Zhen was speechless for a moment.
Lin Qinghuan looked into Qin Zhen's eyes and slowly said, "Qin Zhen, thank you for appearing when I needed comfort. I was really touched at that time, but you were also the one who hurt me. Let's end it here!"
Qin's mother's face lit up with surprise, Bai Lu couldn't hide the smile in her eyes, and Wang Xin laughed with schadenfreude.
Qin Zhen couldn't believe what he was hearing and asked again to confirm, "Qing Huan, what did you mean by what you just said?"
"I said, let's break up! Go and rekindle your romance with your first love!" Lin Qinghuan said, looking at Lin Piaoxue. "Sister, I'm leaving."
"Oh!" Lin Piaoxue now admired Lin Qinghuan's decisiveness. She let go of a high-quality man like Qin Zhen without any hesitation.
She would have to try harder; she wouldn't give up so easily.
Qin Zhen stepped forward and took Lin Qinghuan's hand. "Lin Qinghuan, are you really sure you want to break up with me?"
"I've thought it through very clearly. I don't want to continue this relationship with you," Lin Qinghuan said firmly.
Lin Qinghuan liked Qin Zhen, but that was all; she hadn't fallen deeply in love with him yet, since she hadn't spent much time with him.
Qin Zhen was the first man Lin Qinghuan loved, and she wanted to grow old with him. However, things didn't go as planned, and they ended up breaking up.
Qin Zhen looked at the determination in Lin Qinghuan's eyes, and his face was filled with sadness.
How did he and Lin Qinghuan end up like this?
Lin Qinghuan looked at Qin's mother and Bai Lu, a mocking smile appearing on her lips. "Qin Zhen brought me to meet your uncle and aunt today. Your aunt also invited Qin Zhen's first love. Is she trying to make me feel inferior and give up, or is she deliberately implying that I'm trying to climb the social ladder? I think it's probably both. Now that I've broken up with Qin Zhen as your aunt wishes, she should be very happy!"
Qin's mother looked very unhappy. Lin Qinghuan had indeed guessed what she was thinking, but Lin Qinghuan knew that she was Qin Zhen's mother and that she was talking back to her, which made Qin's mother very unhappy.
“Auntie looks very unhappy, but your niece Wang Xin called me a poor and worthless person, which also makes me unhappy. I can’t agree with such upbringing.” Lin Qinghuan said as she walked out of the Qin family’s gate.
Qin Zhen looked at her mother, "Mom, are you happy with today's outcome?"
Qin's mother turned her head away from Qin Zhen's gaze and said stubbornly, "I don't know what you're talking about."
