Chapter 4: Telling My Father the Truth About My Marriage

Lin Shanguang felt ashamed for Lin Xiangyi. She actually liked the man her sister was going to marry, even though he was about to marry her sister, she still wouldn’t give up!

These past few days, she was like a different person. She didn’t read, she didn’t do housework, she just locked herself in her room every day. Who was she trying to impress?

Today, she even dared to talk back to him!

“Lin Xiangyi, I’m telling you, Huihui and Dingyuan’s marriage is set, it’s in a week, if you dare to cause trouble, to embarrass me, I’ll beat you to death!” Lin Shan warned angrily.

Lin Xiangyi scoffed: “Don’t worry, I don’t even like that scum!”

In reality, she had passed away before she could marry Lu Dingyuan, she had barely met him, let alone liked him.

It was in the novel, in this life, that she met Lu Dingyuan when she was in junior high school. One time, she was walking on the street and encountered human traffickers, Lu Dingyuan appeared and helped her to fend them off.

Later, in high school, she accidentally discovered that they were in the same school, and they gradually became familiar.

She did have a crush on Lu Dingyuan.

Lu Dingyuan also told her he liked her, but she was focused on getting into college at the time, so she agreed with Lu Dingyuan that they would date after college.

Unexpectedly, before they even graduated from high school, Lu Dingyuan was already with Lin Huihui.

Lin Xiangyi gave up on Lu Dingyuan from then on, she never tried to break them up.

But now, everyone was spreading rumors that she was deeply in love with Lu Dingyuan, that she was clinging to him even though he was with Lin Huihui?

Lin Xiangyi didn’t believe it if these rumors weren’t spread by Lu Dingyuan and Lin Huihui.

Lin Xiangyi couldn’t help but doubt her own judgment. How could she have liked Lu Dingyuan?

Or was it because she never really liked him? Was it because she was bound by the plot, that she mistook friendship for affection?

To Lin Shan and Chen Fengmei, Lin Xiangyi was just putting up a front. She had chased after Lu Dingyuan for so many years, how could she not like him?

Lin Shan said in a deep voice: “Just know your place, on their wedding day, you stay put, don’t let anyone see a joke—”

“Oh right, I forgot to tell you, I’m getting married too,” Lin Xiangyi interrupted Lin Shan.

Lin Shan paused for three seconds before he reacted: “What did you say?”

“I said,” Lin Xiangyi repeated: “I’m getting married, the groom is coming to propose tomorrow!”

“Who are you marrying?” Lin Shan was shocked.

Chen Fengmei was also surprised.

Lin Xiangyi: “A high school classmate, his name is Xie Qingxiao.”

“Xie Qingxiao?” Before Lin Shan could ask further, a voice came from the door again. Lin Huihui was back from work. When she heard that Lin Xiangyi was getting married, and that the groom was Xie Qingxiao, she looked surprised.

“Huihui, do you know who Xie Qingxiao is?” Lin Shan saw Lin Huihui’s expression and quickly asked.

Lin Huihui: “I know him…”

“Then tell me, what kind of person is he? What’s his personality like? Where is his family from? Where does he work?” Lin Shan asked three questions in a row.

Lin Huihui hesitated and looked at Lin Xiangyi, as if she had something to hide.

Lin Xiangyi gave a cold laugh.

Lin Shan felt even more that there was something fishy, he glared at Lin Xiangyi fiercely: “Huihui, just say it, I’m here, she can’t do anything to you.”

Lin Huihui: “Dad, I know Xie Qingxiao, he was in the same high school as me and my sister, but he wasn’t a good student, he often hung out with those people outside when he was in school, he dropped out of high school before he graduated, I heard it was because he fought with someone for a girl…”

Lin Shan’s mind immediately flashed an image of Xie Qingxiao, a good-for-nothing, frivolous, lazy and mischievous second-rate guy. He pointed at Lin Xiangyi’s face, his face red with anger:

“How could I have given birth to such a shameless thing? You’re actually hooking up with that kind of person, you’re actually getting married? Get married your ass! Go back to your room, you’re going to stay in there and reflect for the next few days, don’t come out.”

He went to grab Lin Xiangyi’s hand, trying to drag her into the room and lock her up.

Lin Xiangyi was prepared, she dodged Lin Shan’s hand, raised her eyes to look at Lin Huihui, not missing the fleeting smirk at the corner of Lin Huihui’s lips.

She flashed past, and slapped Lin Huihui on the face with a “slap”.

“…” Everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events, they froze for three seconds.

“You, you hit me?” Lin Huihui covered her quickly reddening face, staring at Lin Xiangyi in disbelief.

Lin Xiangyi sneered: “I hit you!”

“Huihui!” Chen Fengmei reacted, rushing to Lin Huihui: “What happened to you, ah? Let Mom see!”

“Lin Xiangyi, you’re going too far, just because Huihui told the truth, you hit her?” Lin Shan was furious, pointing at his own face: “Do you want to hit your father’s face too? Come on, I’m right here, you—”

“Lin Shan,” Lin Xiangyi shouted: “You believe everything your daughter and wife say, but you don’t believe anything I say, right?”

“You dare to yell at me, you’ve gone too far, how could I have given birth to such a rebellious child—”

“Ah!”

Before Lin Shan could finish his sentence, Lin Xiangyi grabbed Lin Huihui’s hair fiercely.

Lin Huihui screamed, her face contorted in pain, her hands struggled constantly, trying to save her hair from Lin Xiangyi’s grasp.

But Lin Xiangyi pulled even tighter, Lin Huihui’s face turned pale, she was in so much pain that she couldn’t speak.

“Huihui!” Chen Fengmei screamed.

Lin Shan was shocked and furious, he wanted to stop her, but he was afraid of provoking Lin Xiangyi to do something worse to Lin Huihui.

Lin Xiangyi looked at Lin Shan and sneered: “You only listen to your daughter and wife, why don’t you listen to me? Do you know how they treat me when you’re not around? Do you know why I’m marrying Xie Qingxiao?”

She pulled Lin Huihui’s hair, revealing her contorted face, her teeth gritted in hatred: “It’s because your precious daughter drugged me and made me sleep with Xie Qingxiao!”

Boom!

This news was like a bomb, stunning everyone into silence.

Lin Huihui never expected Lin Xiangyi to publicly reveal her affair with Xie Qingxiao, she never thought Lin Xiangyi would know that it was she who drugged her.

Her face turned pale with fear: “No, I didn’t! You’re lying!”

“Yeah,” Chen Fengmei quickly came to her defense: “Xiangyi, there must be some misunderstanding, how could Huihui do such a thing? You have to have proof if you’re going to say this!”

Lin Shan was shocked: “You were drugged? You… how are you now? Ah? When did this happen? Why didn’t you tell Dad when you came back?”

Lin Shan grabbed Lin Xiangyi’s arm and asked anxiously.

Lin Xiangyi looked at his expression and snorted.

At least he knew to care about her.
