"Why are you here?" Lin Qingrou could not help but to ask.
Ye Qingming did not reply. Instead, he stared at Ye Qingzhi with a subtle expression. Lin Qingrou, who was stuck between the two of them, felt a little awkward. She picked up her bag and said to Ye Qingzhi, "If there's anything else, we can talk about it another day!" With that, she prepared to leave.
Wait a moment." Ye Qingming suddenly said in a low voice. Then, he pulled Lin Qingrou's hand, gently raising his head and said to Ye Qingzhi, "I had originally planned to bring her home in the next few days. "Since elder sister has come to see you in advance, let me just say that we are ready to get married.
Lin Qingrou's eyes widened as she looked at Ye Qingming in shock. However, Lin Qingrou was not the only one who was shocked. Ye Qingzhi's current appearance was ten thousand times more shocking than the current Lin Qingrou. Not only was she surprised, she was also angry.
Ye Qingzhi could not control her own hands. She stood up and pointed her trembling index finger at Lin Qingrou's face, doing her best to lower her voice so that she would not shout out loud from being too excited.
"Are you intentionally trying to anger me!? Just because I didn't let you see Xing Ruonan one last time, you want to find a girl that looks like her and marry her? Have you ever thought about yourself? Have you ever thought about whether I'd take it or not? "
Ye Qingming nodded. Weiwei smiled and said, "Big sister, don't be too angry. The reason I'm with her isn't because of Xing Ruonan, nor is it to intentionally anger you. It's just that we're old enough to get married." And she, I think, is very good. "
After saying that, Ye Qingming looked at Lin Qingrou with eyes filled with guilt and unexplainable emotions.
However, Lin Qingrou didn't notice his gaze because she was currently looking at Ye Qingzhi with an indifferent expression. Instead, she was smiling from anger.
Ye Qingzhi sneered and said, "Good, well said. All men in the Ye Family have guts. One was more daring than the other! I won't make things difficult for you guys today, but one day, you guys will go see your big brother.
After saying that, Ye Qingzhi angrily turned around and quickly left the teahouse, disappearing from their line of sight.
Lin Qingrou's heart was pounding. She clutched her chest and slid into a nearby seat.
Seeing that, Ye Qingming quickly squatted down beside her and asked: "Are you alright? "Seems like he was scared just now."
Lin Manmei drank a mouthful of water and said hurriedly, "What nonsense were you saying just now? Your family is making trouble and wants to drag me into this!"
"It's my fault."
Ye Qingming stood up and sat on the opposite side, solemnly saying, "But my words are serious, otherwise I wouldn't have refuted Big Sis."
Hearing that, Lin Qingrou's hands that were on her legs suddenly shook. She could not help but wonder, "Is he serious?" How was this possible? They had only met five times so far, how could he be sure of this relationship?
"Seriously? "Stop teasing me, just pretend that nothing happened today. You should talk to your elder sister when you get home, we are family, what conflicts can't be resolved?" Lin Qingrou pretended not to care and tried to test Ye Qingming out.
However, Ye Qingming seemed very confident as he said, "If you had no interest at all, you wouldn't have appeared here today."
Lin Qingrou cast a sidelong glance at him, then laughed. "Okay, then tell me. For you and me, where is the good of marriage?"
He placed the marriage matter so naked on the table. Probably, only someone like Lin Man and Ye Qingming, who had their own thoughts, could do such a thing. Therefore, Ye Qingming was not too surprised or angry. He just took a sip of water, and then suddenly said tiredly: "I don't want Big Sis to force on me those women I don't like for no reason, and I also don't want to face those so-called famous family members who don't have the same ambitions as me."
"Then why did you choose me? Am I someone who shares the same will as you? "
"Of course not, but …" I can see a kind of love in your eyes, though it's not a good idea. "
"Perhaps you are doing this for something else, money? Benefits? However, I do not care. I only want a single person to be able to solve the situation in front of me, and also let me grasp the direction. That is enough. " As Ye Qingming spoke, he looked into Lin Qingrou's eyes.
Lin Qingrou shrank back unconsciously. Greed? It seemed that he treated her as a gold digger that only knew how to look at money! However, this was also good. Since he had saved himself a lot of trouble, he could also use his identity as the Gold Reverence Daughter as a shield. Why not?!
However, Lin Qingrou thought that even though Ye Qingming had already revealed his secret to her, she still felt that there was something Ye Qingming was hiding from her!
However, since the two of them had reached an agreement on the matter of the marriage, whatever the reason was was, it was his own problem. Lin Qingrou had no interest in it, and she did not want to interfere in it either.
"No matter what you say, it doesn't matter if you're greedy or adoring. Since you've decided to get married, you should prepare properly, right?" She sat up straight and asked Ye Qingming without any hesitation.
Ye Qingming stopped his finger and took a deep breath, slowly saying, "Okay, looks like you are even more straightforward than I imagined." Then leave the rest to me and wait for me to call you. " As he spoke, he gestured to her with his hand.
Seeing that there was nothing else to do, she bid farewell to Ye Qingming and Liu Yuxi.
"Marry? Too fast! There's no reason. " Liu Yuxi was flabbergasted after hearing Lin Manchu's description.
"I don't know why he did it, and I don't want to know," she said. Anyway, since we're married, we've come to a consensus. Well, I don't care, I think he thinks so too. "
"Seriously, there are so many ways to destroy Ye Qingcheng. Why do you have to be together with Ye Qingming?"
"After twenty years, Ye Qingcheng is no longer that ordinary doctor. With his status and power now, it would be even harder for me to take revenge on him alone. Fortunately, he is not immune to poisons, and Ye Qingming is his weakness. " Lin Qingrou said angrily.
Liu Yuxi couldn't help but comfort her when she thought back to the past, "Don't be so agitated. I understand what you mean. It seems like this is the only way." But from the looks of it, the relationship between Ye Qingming and his family members isn't like what we investigated. At the very least, in the matter of your marriage, would Ye Qingming be on your side? Perhaps he really was doing this because of Xing Ruonan. Liu Yuxi mumbled to himself.
However, her words were a timely reminder to Lin Qingrou.
"It seems so. "I felt it a moment ago. When Xing Ruonan was mentioned, both Ye Qingming and Ye Qingzhi seemed to be very sensitive."
"That's right!" Liu Yuxi said affirmatively.
"It seems that we really have to investigate just what kind of person this Xing Ruo Nan is!"
During the entire weekend, it rained lightly in B City. The sky also seemed like it was a landscape painting without ink, only leaving behind a not too thick but not too pale shade of gray. Although this kind of weather wasn't as scary as the heavy rain, the continuous cold made people feel even more depressed.
Lin Qingrou got out of bed early in the morning. She took the umbrella and a bunch of lilies and headed towards her father's grave before the sun rose.
She hadn't been here in months.
Due to the rain from the past few days, the tombstone seemed especially clean and cold. Lin Qingrou squatted on the ground and looked at her father, who was forever young. Her tears couldn't help but cause her vision to blur.
"Father, there's something I want to tell you …" Lin Qingrou bit her lips as she thought about it. After a while, she felt a deep pain that pierced into her bones.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. It's not like there's anything to be happy about."
Better not tell Dad about his impending marriage!
At this moment, Lin Qingrou was just like the timid and stubborn little girl from her childhood who didn't want to tell her father about her results. After all, this marriage was not something to be happy about.
After a while, the sky gradually brightened as more and more people appeared on the small path leading to the cemetery.
Lin Qingrou stood in front of the tombstone and told her father about her recent life. Her legs finally felt tired, and her feet felt numb. However, this physical exhaustion caused her mind to become more clear-headed and her willpower to strengthen.
"Dad, I've never had a mother since I was young, but I've never felt inferior or lonely. Because I have you to take care of me, to accompany me. But now, even you are gone. In the days to come, I was really worried that if I made a mistake, I would be reduced to a situation where I would never be able to recover. "
"But I'm not afraid, and I'm not afraid of them for you. I must avenge you, and also avenge myself, who died ten years ago! I must make them regret what they did! "
At this point, Lin Qingrou couldn't help but shed tears. She bit the back of her hand and endured the pain in her heart as she said her farewells:
"Dad, if there is a next life, let me be your parents, take care of you, worry about you! However, in this lifetime, we are not destined to be father and daughter. "
"Perhaps I won't be able to come back here for some reason during this period of time, but don't worry. The next time I come to see you, it will be when my revenge is a success!"
With that, Lin Qingrou bowed deeply towards the tombstone that was dripping with rain. Then, without hesitation, she raised the umbrella and walked in the direction of the grave.
In the drizzle, although this road was long and bumpy, her steps were firm and resolute.
