828 A Million Times for You 190 (2/2)

Lin Shishi's cousin and her parents were all dumbfounded.

Flabbergasted, Lin Shishi decided not to give in to her mother-in-law's unreasonable ways and retorted, ”Mother, you don't have to try and sow discord between me and my cousin's family. You know clearly yourself whether or not I was speaking the truth. I won't watch my cousin jump into her grave.”

”This is a discussion between me and your cousin's family. Stay out of this and leave. Since you're pregnant, you ought to go out on walks more often,” Shi Xiaoyu ordered.

Lin Shishi looked at her cousin and the latter's parents before saying solemnly, ”Uncle, Auntie, Cousin, you mustn't agree to this marriage. You don't have to be afraid of my mother-in-law either. She doesn't actually have any rights and she can't compel you against your wishes. I won't lie.”

She then turned around to walk away as soon as she finished speaking, leaving Shi Xiaoyu exasperated.

Being young and prone to acting recklessly, Lin Shishi was not at all bothered, for she felt that she had done nothing wrong.

Unable to tolerate it, she decided to call her mother to inform her of the matter.

She thought that her aunt and uncle would definitely object to the marriage since she had already stated things so clearly.

After all, who would dig their own grave?

Yet, the results had disappointed her.

Her cousin agreed to the marriage.

She actually agreed!

Lin Shishi was flabbergasted the moment she heard the outrageous news.

There was actually someone who'd still be willing to marry a homosexual.

Just what was Cousin after?

After chatting with her mother, Lin Shishi understood the reason behind her cousin's decision.

She was indeed swayed by Shi Xiaoyu.

The presidential candidates would forever be kept within the Tuoba family, and the nation's citizens would decide the outcome of the presidential election, which took place once every eight years.

The candidates would definitely be Tuoba Gucheng and Tuoba Hancheng.

Since Tuoba Rui had already retired, he would not be allowed to partake in the presidential election.

That meant that Tuoba Hancheng would still stand a chance to become the next elected president.

Should Tuoba Hancheng manage to become the next president, her cousin, Feng Qiubai, would then become the next First Lady.

By the time the next election comes round, Lin Shishi and Tuoba Gucheng's son would only be a few years old, and hence, he would not be allowed to partake in the election at all.

Lin Shishi could not help but sneer, ”Mother, did you see that? I was so worried about her and concerned about her future. Yet, she chose to let me down for the sake of a life of riches and luxury.”

Madam Lin was speechless. She, too, felt that her niece was being foolish and ignorant.

”Forget it, she was the one who made that decision herself. Shishi, you did the right thing. It's up to you to tell her while it's her choice to decide whether or not to agree.”

Lin Shishi was perplexed and frustrated after hanging up the phone.

However, what made her even more dejected was receiving news of Tuoba Hancheng agreeing to the marriage as well.

He actually agreed!

Lin Shishi felt like they were both just using each other.

The first thing she did when Tuoba Gucheng returned was to inform him of the matter.

”Don't worry about it since they're both willing parties,” said Tuoba Gucheng.

”I'd really like for Sis Xiaoning to read Cousin's birth characters. I'll call Sis Xiaoning later.”

”Save it. An Xiaoning is probably busy right now. She doesn't have the time to read fortunes,” Tuoba Gucheng said composedly.

”She's busy? How did you know that, Hubby?” Lin Shishi asked in puzzlement.

”I gave her a mission to accomplish, she's currently overseas.”

Dumbfounded, Lin Shishi asked, ”Hubby, since when did you get so close to Sis Xiaoning?”
