Chapter 15: Not Good Enough

Lin Xiangnan went out for a walk and came back without dinner. Hu Meili hadn’t left any for her.

In the room, Liu Hongying relayed, “Mom said you’ve gotten used to the good life. You’ll know better after starving for a couple of meals.”

Lin Xiangnan ignored her.

Liu Hongying continued, “That Zhao comrade, Mom carefully picked him for you. Why did you reject him? You shouldn’t have.”

Ignoring his personality, Zhao Qi’s family background alone was enough to make Hu Meili happy. Of course, Liu Hongying liked it too.

“You wouldn’t marry a good man like Zhao Qi, are you really planning to go to the countryside?”

Lin Xiangnan slammed her book on the table, reminding her, “Mind your own business.”

“I’m just concerned about you.” Liu Hongying looked aggrieved.

Lin Xiangnan scoffed, “Cut it out. I know what you’re thinking.”

This woman wasn’t a good person.

The original body was sent away by her with a dose of poisonous mushrooms. Although it wasn’t intentional, and everyone in the family except the original body was fine, that dose of poisonous mushrooms was the trigger.

If the original body’s time had come, even without those poisonous mushrooms, there might have been other accidents.

So even though Lin Xiangnan remembered the poisonous mushrooms, she never held it against Liu Hongying. Who knew that Liu Hongying would keep provoking her.

“If you like that Zhao Qi, go for it yourself. Don’t whine in front of me, it’s annoying.” Lin Xiangnan sneered, “You’re a drowning man trying to save others. You can’t even save yourself, and you have the time to care about me.”

Lin Xiangnan hadn’t lost her temper earlier, and Liu Hongying kept talking. Now that Lin Xiangnan started to put her down, she immediately became quiet and submissive, not daring to speak.

In this house, Liu Hongying only dared to nag at Lin Xiangnan. In front of others, she couldn’t even speak with confidence.

But now, her words didn’t work on Lin Xiangnan either.

“Xiao Nan, you’ve really changed a lot. If it were before, you would definitely listen to Mom and date Zhao comrade.”

Lin Xiangnan ignored her, packed up, and went to bed.

She had changed, and it was obvious. But no one found her change strange.

At a crucial moment like graduating and going to the countryside, which could determine one’s future destiny, a drastic personality change seemed normal.

Liu Hongying used to be gentle and shy. No one could have imagined that she would become a cripple to return to the city. After returning to the city, she continued to resist Liu Laohei’s arrangements, refusing to marry and staying at home.

Liu Honghe used to be considered well-behaved, but this year, in order to get a job, he caused chaos at home.

It was also normal for Lin Xiangnan to become like this to avoid going to the countryside.

Hu Meili scolded her, but she didn’t have much opinion on Lin Xiangnan’s current personality, which was not easily taken advantage of and was picky.

There were many children in the family, and they were bound to be neglected. In her opinion, Lin Xiangnan’s current change was a kind of improvement.

Even though she was annoyed by Lin Xiangnan, she still scolded her while reluctantly introducing other men to her.

“This Xiao Qian, he’s a few years older than you, he’s an honest kid…”

Lin Xiangnan met him once, “No way, he looks too old. He’s so young, why does he look so old?”

“This Xiao Sun, he’s sweet-talking and knows how to get ahead…”

Lin Xiangnan learned about him, “This one’s no good either. He’s smooth-talking and has a connection with a young widow, it’s not clean.”

“This Xiao Li, his four brothers all work in the city, and his sister went to the countryside…”

Before even meeting him, Lin Xiangnan rejected him, “No way. This family has too many brothers, and they’re also patriarchal, it’s troublesome.”

Hu Meili went crazy, “You haven’t even met him yet, and you say no. You must go see him on Sunday, if you still don’t like him, I won’t bother anymore, you go find your own partner.”

Lin Xiangnan smiled, “Meet, meet, I’ll meet. It’s just a small matter, why are you getting angry?”
