Chapter 65: He Is Playing You (1/2)

Translator: Peggyan and Ruriko

Hearing her furious tone, Lin Xiaomi involuntarily felt sad even if she didn’t want to.

This was how a mother responded to the relationship of her daughter! Without an inquiry, she directly accused her daughter of dating a hooligan.

If Jiang Hui asked Lin Xiaomi about it in a good voice, Lin might explain it to her. But now, Lin wanted to defend herself.

“He’s Lin Hai, not a hooligan. I like him very much, and he treats me very well.”

Hearing this, Jiang Hui turned angrier. “Watch your tone. Is this how you talk to your mother? You said you liked him, but how can a well-educated girl say it? Are you ashamed of yourself?”

“No, I’m not. I just tell my mother about the man I like, so why should I feel ashamed?”

Lin chose to tolerate whatever Jiang said before, for Jiang was her mother and led a hard life in the Lin family even if how badly Jiang treated her.

But now, Lin got to know that no matter how well Lin treated Jiang, Jiang wouldn’t consider Lin her daughter.

“Watch your tone. You even learn to argue with me. What else is he if he isn’t a hooligan? Having dated with him only a few days, you dare to refute me, huh?!! Xin’er told me his job was software development. Hohoho, I think he lied to you to just play you. Otherwise, he’s learned of the relations between you and the Lin family, so he wants to cash in. Tell him not to even dream of it!”

Lin tried her best to control her sneers and thought that Jiang felt so better about herself.

Yes, the Lin and Lee families were influential in the city, but not all people wanted to curry favor with them.

“Lin Hai isn’t such a person. He’s a man of integrity.” Lin couldn’t stand that Jiang spoke ill of him.

“Why do you phone me today?” asked Lin.

“Lin Qingtian comes back for Xin’er’s engagement party. You come back for dinner and I have something to tell you in passing.”

“I got it.”

As the oldest son of Lin Yaoguo, Lin Qingtian enjoyed a better status than Lin Xiaomi but was still of little standing in the Lin family, for he was an illegitimate son.

He wasn’t brought back the Lin family until Lin Xin’er’s mother died. But, he was sent abroad early. Though he was the oldest son, the world knew that Lin Xin’er would inherit the family.

Lin Qingtian was the only one who was nice to Lin Xiaomi in the Lin family.

The last time she saw him was a year ago.

This was also the reason why she agreed to go back.

At night, Leng Yihuang called her to ask her to eat out.

She indeed thought that he had earned a lot of money. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked her to eat out every day.

“Sorry, I can’t go. Lin Qingtian, Lin Xin’er’s brother, comes back. My mother asked me to go back tonight.”

Hearing this, he asked with his voice down, “Go back to the Lin family?”

Knowing his concerns, she said with a smile to comfort him, “It’ll be fine. Set your mind at rest.”
