"Knock, knock, knock!" The knocking on the door never stopped.
"What nonsense are you spouting, child? Bah, bah, bah!" Ms. Song assumed Lin Yang was just being childish and talking nonsense. "How could Cheng Zhi, such a good child, do such heinous things as you described?"
Ms. Song and Lin Zhengguo are both over 100 years old combined, and have been in the business world for many years, seeing countless people and situations.
What kind of people haven't I seen?
They had long since developed a keen eye, able to discern a person's character with just a glance.
Xu Chengzhi was a child whom Ms. Song and Lin Zhengguo examined together, setting aside the fact that he was a member of the Xu family.
Even if he wasn't the heir of the Xu family, based on his character alone, he would be a worthy match for their daughter if he wanted to marry her.
"Mom and Dad, you can't judge a book by its cover! Xu Chengzhi really did something so heinous!" The original owner's unseeing eyes when he died were still vivid in my mind.
Those eyes, once beautiful, now tinged with resentment, were truly shocking.
"Yangyang, you're talking so strangely, like someone who knows everything about the future." Faced with Lin Yang's certainty, Ms. Song couldn't help but begin to doubt Lin Yang's words and her as well.
"Don't be so paranoid!" Lin Zhengguo didn't believe such nonsense. "I think she just doesn't want to get married. She probably has a lover outside, so she deliberately says a bunch of unclear things to smear Xiao Xu!"
"Dad, I didn't..." Lin Yang was about to explain when Lin Zhengguo interrupted her.
I don't have a lover...
"Let me tell you, Lin Yang, our Lin family will only accept Xu Chengzhi as our son-in-law in this lifetime. As for anyone else, I don't care who you've been with or what your romantic escapades have been with. Break them off before Xu finds out! Otherwise, don't blame me for taking action myself!"
Lin Yang had to admire Lin Zhengguo's imagination.
And his romantic escapades?
Xu Chengzhi alone is more than she can handle, okay?
If there's another person with whom I have emotional entanglements, I'm afraid I'll go crazy!
"That thing..." Lin Zhengguo went on and on about her, "Oh, oh, oh! Mr. Ex! We can pretend we didn't know about what happened between you two before! You should think this through. Ex is just a nouveau riche who came from nowhere. How can he compare to the well-established Xu family? Besides, he has never shown his true face before!"
Good heavens, does Lin Zhengguo really think she and Mr. Ex have something going on?
or……
Should we satisfy her father's wild imagination and use that as leverage?
"Yes! Mr. Ex and I are indeed deeply in love! We are inseparable! We are inseparable!" Lin Yang began to build up her emotions, preparing to put on a romantic scene.
"You! So, the rumors online about you and Mr. Ex are all true? Even... the child!!" Lin Zhengguo gritted his teeth, almost vomiting blood from Lin Yang's open admission.
"Yes, the child! The child is still in my womb! Please grant Mr. Ex's and my wish to be together! We are truly in love!" Lin Yang covered her face and wept, her tears falling like raindrops.
I'm sorry, Mr. Ex, but in order to break off this engagement, I have no choice but to use you as an excuse!
"You!!" Lin Zhengguo was so angry he could barely speak, cursing her, "How could our Lin family produce someone like you!"
As he continued hurling insults, he couldn't bring himself to say anything harsh anymore. He pointed at the door, too angry to utter another word for a long time.
“Oh, honey, calm down. Even if Lin Yang and that Mr. So-and-so had something going on, it was all because she was young and naive before, it doesn’t count! And…” While comforting Lin Zhengguo, Ms. Song glared into the doorway, “I’ve been through pregnancy myself, do you think I don’t know whether our daughter is pregnant or not?”
Even though they were separated by a door, Lin Yang felt guilty and forgot to cry.
"So let's ignore Lin Yang's nonsense. The day after tomorrow, the eighth day of the lunar new year, we'll tie her up and put her on the wedding car!"
Ms. Song's resolute words completely chilled Lin Yang's heart.
