Chapter 171: Looking For Trouble
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Song Yan and Chen Lian would always say all kinds of good things to her, but when it came to work, the two of them were better at hiding than the other. Li Jin suddenly felt that Yan Han was not bad at home. At least, she would do whatever she asked her to do.
Li Jin was already in a bad mood, and now that someone was knocking on the door so fiercely early in the morning, she became even more impatient. But when she opened the door, she saw Lu Lin, who was dressed in branded clothes, and a few young hooligans. Li Jin was instantly stunned. Her initial impatience disappeared, and she was a little panicked.
“Who are you guys? What are you doing at our house?” Li Jin asked as she shouted into the house, “Hurry up and come out. Someone is looking for trouble! ”
Following Li Jin’s shouting, Song Yan and Chen Lian came out with their daughters, Xia Ru and Xia Ye.
Xia Jiang and Xia He had already gone to work, so there were only the women at home.
When Lu Lin saw Li Jin’s stance, the corner of his mouth curled up in disdain.
At this moment, Li Jin also noticed that there was a luxurious car parked behind Lu Lin. Even if she couldn’t name the car, she could tell that it was very expensive. It was not something that the people in her town could afford to drive.
Li Jin tried to recall who this person was.
Lu Lin didn’t beat around the bush and directly said, “My parents were too kind back then, so we arranged marriage with your family. You should know your status. How can you, a person who grew up in such a poor village, be worthy of me? Hurry up and give me your token, and this marriage will be over.
After hearing Lu Lin’s words, Li Jin’s eyes instantly lit up. This was actually the grandson of Xia Xu’s comrade.
She had thought that Xia Xu’s comrade was not doing well, but it seemed like he came from a rich family.
Li Jin immediately changed her mind. She definitely couldn’t hand over this token. She wanted to rely on this token to let her granddaughter marry this man in front of her. She wanted her family to fly up to the branches and become phoenixes. They would no longer have to lower their heads and beg. They would no longer have to live the life of the impoverished.
Thinking of this, Li Jin immediately began to cry, “I know that our family and your family have agreed, so all these years, I’ve been taking good care of my granddaughter and raising her with great effort so that the two families can bond. But why are you here now to break off the engagement? ”
“Our granddaughter has been waiting for this day for a long time. It’s really sad for you to say such things.”
As Li Jin spoke, she pretended to wipe his tears.
When Xia Ru and Xia Ye saw Lu Lin’s ident.i.ty, their eyes lit up. This was a rich man. If they could marry Lu Lin, their status would change.
Xia Ru immediately stood up and said, “I’m the one who arranged the marriage with you back then. For so many years, Grandma has always asked me to wait for you with peace of mind. Even when other people pursued me, I rejected them. Why did you really want to break off the engagement with me after you came? Then what have I been waiting for all these years for?”
Lu Lin only noticed Xia Ru when she said these words. Then, he realized that Xia Ru’s looks were average. This was not the standard of a wife that he wanted. She was far from the girl he saw yesterday.
Therefore, Lu Lin refused without any hesitation, “You should be very clear about the gap between us. It’ll be impossible for you to be my wife with your status. Do you think I should marry a country b.u.mpkin like you and embarra.s.s myself?”
“Today, you either hand over the token of your own accord, or I’ll bring my men and destroy your entire family. I don’t believe that I can’t find this token.”
When Lu Lin finished speaking, the hooligans standing behind him immediately split into two rows, looking as if they were ready to smash the Xia family at any time.
Li Jin and the others quickly noticed that something was wrong. This Lu Lin didn’t have any intention of talking to them. He didn’t want to acknowledge this marriage.
Xia Ye was also very anxious. She realized that Xia Ru was really shameless. How could she say that she was married to someone in front of so many people? She clearly remembered that the token was placed in Xia Wan’s house.
However, no matter how stupid Xia Ye was, she would not say such things in front of Lu Lin. They were still on the same side..
