Fix Smile Order - CH 121
Tan Nengwen was almost pissed to death by his daughter.
“The Young Master of the Zhu Residence is determined to have you. You are ignorant of the current blessing and even dare to have an affair with another man! If the Zhu Residence finds out…”
“So what if they know? So what?! Anyways, I don’t want to marry him! Whoever wants to marry him can marry him! Isn’t the Zhu Residence all-powerful? Then I dare them to take me back and put me in prison!” Tan Lingyin put on the attitude of ‘a dead pig is unafraid of boiling water’ as she retorted with an upright back.
“Do you think it’s all over in prison? What about me? Where’s your brother?”
Tan Lingyin was quite speechless, “You overthink. This is just a grievance between a man and a woman’s marriage. An official in the prefect of Jinan is so busy every day, he won’t kill you.”
“How lightly you make this! He only needs to move his finger, and I will not have a good life for the rest of my days. What is the difference between this and death? I made you and raised you, and this is how you repay me?!”
The father and daughter quarreled for a while, but neither of them could come to an agreement. So, in a fit of rage, Tan Lingyin went directly to find Zhu Dacong.
Tan Nengwen followed her out and yelled behind her, “Stop! You damn girl!”
Tan Lingyin didn’t look back. And when she walked out, she slammed the door heavily with a ‘bang!’
Tan Nengwen stood in the yard, suddenly feeling a little dazed. How long has it been since he quarreled with his daughter like this?
Although he was very angry, it wasn’t all anger. Apart from anger, there was also a trace of regret and gratitude. In this life, he was given another opportunity to see her again and quarrel with her face to face.
Sigh…
—
Tan Lingyin originally felt guilty towards Zhu Dacong, but now…she still feels guilty, but besides the guilt, she also felt that Zhu Dacong’s handling of this matter was quite unreasonable. He could have just discussed with her, why did he bring her parents here without saying a word? Does she, Tan Lingyin, seem to be someone who can be manipulated by her parents?
Zhu Dacong seemed to have expected that Tan Lingyin would come to him. He was already sitting in the shop, waiting for her arrival.
Seeing Tan Lingyin running aggressively towards him, Zhu Dacong stood up first. With his face pale, he apologized, “Lingyin, I was wrong!”
Tan Lingyin: “…” She was a soft-hearted person, so once others admit their mistakes first, Tan Lingyin couldn’t help but soften her heart.
Zhu Dacong explained, “Because I was so happy, I wrote to my parents about meeting you in Tongling. Then they seemed to have found your father again…” His voice became weaker and weaker.
Tan Lingyin didn’t know whether to believe him or not. But either way, the results had already come out. She said, “Zhu dage, I have made it clear to you before that I cannot marry you. I know I was wrong, and I will make it up to you. I can do whatever you want, but no matter what, I cannot marry you.”
Zhu Dacong smiled wryly, “How do you want to compensate me?”
“I…” Tan Lingyin was dumbfounded. She seemed to have nothing to offer now. After thinking for a while, she replied, “I– I am in the middle of a business deal with someone. If it goes well, I will have a lot of money in a while. By then I can……”
“Lingyin, do you think you can compensate me with money?”
“I…” She lowered her head guiltily.
“I don’t want money, no matter the amount of money. Even if mountains of gold and silver are in front of me, I don’t want it. I just want you,” Zhu Dacong said with red eyes, “Lingyin, you and I should be husband and wife. It’s just that you were mischievous and missed the opportunity. And because you ran away from our marriage, I became known as a ‘daughter killer’, and can no longer marry another bride-to-be. How do you make it up to me? Naturally, you should give me a proper wife, no? ”
Tan Lingyin couldn’t find words to refute his argument.
Although this is the case in principle, emotionally, she could not accept marrying Zhu Dacong.
“Lingyin, last time I asked you if you had someone in mind, you replied no. Now I will ask you again. Is it because you have someone in mind that you reject me like this?”
Tan Lingyin nodded.
“Is it Tang Feilong?”
She nodded again. It turned out that many people were quite aware.
Zhu Dacong supported her by the shoulders and looked into her eyes seriously. “Listen to me. I am indeed a little angry and jealous that you like Tang Feilong, but I am willing to wait for you to forget him. So go back with me, okay?”
Tan Lingyin gritted her teeth and revealed her shameless ‘killer move’, ” Zhu dage, I’m sorry, he and I have already… we already made an oath for life!”
Zhu Dacong’s face suddenly became extremely ugly.
“I’m sorry,” Tan Lingyin wiped away tears, “I can’t marry you in this life. Zhu dage, there must be a better girl waiting for you.”
Zhu Dacong stared straight at her, and finally smiled miserably. “What do you know? After meeting you, there is nothing better.”
The more he behaved like this, the more guilty Tan Lingyin felt. She felt distressed, “Zhu dage, don’t be like this…”
“I don’t want to be like this either, but I can’t control myself,” he said after taking a deep breath as he looked up. “I really regret coming to Tongling now.”
“I’m sorry…” Tan Lingyin wiped away her tears again.
“Lingyin, come back with me.”
Tan Lingyin looked at him in surprise.
Zhu Dacong’s expression returned to normal. “It’s impossible for me not to care about this matter. But I don’t want to miss out on you either. It’s just that you have to give it some time to accept and adapt.”
Tan Lingyin thought Zhu Dacong might have lost his mind.
Zhu Dacong continued, “You don’t have a choice in this matter. Do you know why your father rushed over without giving any prior notice? Because my father went to your house with a marriage proposal again. Oh, it should be more accurate to say that it was a marriage threat. My father’s temper has never been very good. He was already very angry when he learned that he was taken for a fool. Not to mention if you fake another death, even if you really died, he wouldn’t believe it. He would only use your family members to relieve his anger. I am definitely not an alarmist. Haven’t you noticed? Your parents are here, but Tan Qingchen never showed up…”
Tan Lingyin’s turn to turn pale. She thought about it carefully, and realized it was true that she hadn’t seen Qingchen these days. She anxiously asked, “What did you do to Qingchen? Where is Qingchen?!”
“Believe me, if you go back with me, my father will let him go.”
Tan Lingyin staggered as she smiled wryly, “Why? Why are you doing this?”
“I also want to ask myself why. Is this necessary? But this is the truth. Lingyin, go back and pack your things, let’s go back together,” Zhu Dacong patted her on the head. “Let’s go home.”
