Seeing that w.a.n.g Jinglin was too embarra.s.sed to look at her, she was not sure if w.a.n.g Jinglin had known that Cheng Ziming was two-timing her.
When Cheng Ziming was dating her, he had at least been with Lin Yuwen for a year. Within that year, Cheng Ziming had been busy with work, at least that was what she thought. Looking back, Cheng Ziming was indeed busy, busy being with Lin Yuwen.
Anyway, Lin Chu had always been visiting his family and chatted a lot with w.a.n.g Jinglin. She even bought groceries to make them meals. Her relations.h.i.+p with w.a.n.g Jinglin was just like mother and daughter. Well, at least that was what she thought.
During that year, there did not seem to be anything abnormal about how w.a.n.g Jinglin treated her. It was just like before. This was what made her think that maybe w.a.n.g Jinglin might not be aware of the relations.h.i.+p between Cheng Ziming and Lin Yuwen.
"What a coincidence to meet you here. Are you having a meal with your friend?" Lin Yuwen said arrogantly.
"Yes," Lin Chu answered curtly, unwilling to speak too much.
"Ziming is working overtime today, so I brought uncle and auntie out for a meal. If I knew you were here, we could have eaten together." Lin Yuwen smiled, like a prideful general who had just won a battle.
"Even if you knew, it wouldn"t be convenient. I"m here with a friend." Lin Chu replied as she gave an estranged faint smile.
"Oh, during the engagement banquet, you didn"t even say goodbye before leaving early. Do you have something against me and Ziming? Lin Chu, I understand how you feel but you can"t force it when it comes to feelings. Stop embarra.s.sing everyone just because of your own emotions. Both uncle and auntie felt bad on the day of the engagement. Even if you hate me, there is no need to involve them in it. Ziming told me that you used to be on good terms with them, almost calling them mum and dad," Lin Yuwen said and smiled coldly.
w.a.n.g Jinglin felt alarmed. These words did not seem to be only meant for Lin Chu, it felt like Lin Yuwen resented the close relations.h.i.+p she had with Lin Chu.
w.a.n.g Jinglin gave an apologetic look to Lin Chu. Regardless, now that Lin Yuwen was her future daughter-in-law, she had to take Lin Yuwen"s feelings into account for the sake of Cheng Ziming.
"Yuwen, what"s past is past. We"ll be a family in the future and as she is your sister, Ziming… Ziming also treats her as a sister," w.a.n.g Jinglin said, lightly holding on to Lin Yuwen"s arms.
Lin Yuwen gave a taunting smile towards Lin Chu and continued, "I"m just worried that there may be someone who does not think the same way and won"t give up so easily."
Lin Chu tightened her lips for the sake of the elderly Chengs, in case she said something bad. Otherwise, she would have told Lin Yuwen the truth. Ever since seeing Cheng Ziming for who he truly was, he was nothing in her heart.
"Don"t worry. I"m not sure if Aunt Su told you what I said during your engagement banquet. If she didn"t, feel free to ask her about what my words were when you return home. I"m not the kind of person who can"t let go of things. If there is no more love between us, I won"t make him stay by my side. Just like you said, you can"t force it when it comes to feelings. I"ve let it go, so I hope Miss Lin will do the same and stop hounding the past. After all, who has not dated a few ex-boyfriends?" Lin Chu smiled in ridicule.
If the elderly Chengs were not there, she would have changed the word "ex-boyfriend" to "sc.u.m".
