129 Did They Get Cancer?
Lin Yi turned towards her. “Tell me what?”
Zhao Junli: “…”
That old fogey! He’s insisting that I’ll be the one to tell him!
Zhao Junli sighed and looked at him. “Son, this is also very sudden for us.”
Lin Yi turned around and looked at her casually. “What’s up? Did my dad get cancer?”
Zhao Junli clicked her tongue and slapped him hard. “Keep spouting nonsense and your father will beat you half to death when he gets back!”
Lin Yi looked at her and waited for her to continue.
Zhao Junli could only continue haplessly, “That girl from the Lù family, she’s gone…”
As she spoke, she thought about how best to continue. Lin Yi was impatient, and when he heard her say this he immediately remarked, “Gone? Where’d she go? Did she get cancer too?”
Zhao Junli glowered at him.
Lin Yi shrugged. “You didn’t make it clear.”
Zhao Junli rolled her eyes at him. “Can’t you just wait for me to finish?”
Lin Yi turned around and plopped down on the sofa. “Alright, go ahead.”
He turned around and shouted, “Auntie Zhang, quickly bring a bottle of water over, my mother’s about to start telling a story. Oh right, did you get my potato chips? Bring me some of that too.”
Zhao Junli kicked him. “How improper.”
However, she also turned around and sat down. After all, this issue could not be explained in a prompt manner.
Auntie Zhang handed them some water, as well as the chips that Lin Yi had asked for.
The potato chips crunched as he ate them; this made Zhao Junli was even more upset.
“Keep it down!”
Lin Yi noticed Zhao Junli’s hesitation and added impatiently, “Come on, Mom, tell me. Did my father get cancer? I can take it. Is he in the late stages, or is it that girl from the Lù family who’s in the late stages?”
Zhao Junli was so irate that she wanted to stand up and hit him.
However, this matter had something to do with him after all, as the marriage between the Lù and Lin families had already been decided for so many years. Lin Yi was not very willing, but for the sake of the Lin family there was nothing he could do.
While he did not harbor any feelings for Lu Ning, he had been certain for so many years that he would eventually marry her—now that it had become someone else, Zhao Junli was afraid that he would make a fuss, so she hesitated and did not dare to speak.
She did not know how to start.
“Auntie Zhang, you tell me.”
“Huh?” Auntie Zhang was stunned for a moment when her name was suddenly called. However, when she met Zhao Junli’s gaze, she had no choice but to say it.
“Young Master…”
Lin Yi frowned and looked at them. “Don’t tell me my dad really has cancer?”
Auntie Zhang took a deep breath. “Young Master, the Master is doing quite well. It’s just that the Young Mistress of the Lù family has been replaced.”
“Replaced? What replaced? Has the arranged marriage with our family been annulled?! Does that mean I don’t have to marry her anymore?!” His face instantly lit up with a smile.
Zhao Junli took a sip from the gla.s.s and looked at him. “Don’t even dream of it. Auntie Zhang, continue.”
Auntie Zhang nodded. “Young Master, it’s about the Young Mistress of the Lù family. The one from before wasn’t their biological offspring, and now that the real Young Mistress of the Lù family has been found, she’s been replaced.”
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment. “Not their biological offspring?”
Zhao Junli put down the cup and looked at him. “We didn’t expect this, nor did the Lù family. When the issue first arose, it created such a big fuss that everyone in our circle learned about it. Thankfully, it’s all settled now, and you’re also back. Didn’t you dislike that girl, Lu Ning? This time, you should cultivate a good relationship with the newcomer. When the both of you come of age, we’ll hold the wedding for you.”
