Promise You Lifelong Happiness - C13
“Miss Lin’s family is also in this city?” Ye Qinggran asked.
“Oh, no, my parents are in the neighboring city, and I’ve only been here since I started college.” Lin Qingrou replied.
“Then what does your father do?”
“He worked in the police station. My mother was a teacher, but she quit her job because of her body.” Lin Qingrou answered them all with no change in her expression.
“Looks like the Lin Clan’s teaching is very good. With a single glance, I can tell that Miss Lin is a knowledgeable and reasonable girl.”
“You’re too kind.”
A few of them were sitting in the living room drinking tea. After Ye Qinggran asked about the situation of Lin Qingrou’s family, she did not make a sound herself.
Lin Qingrou took the opportunity to peek at Ye Qingcheng while they were drinking tea to see him sitting on the main seat, deep in thought. No one knew what he was thinking about.
At that moment, the doorbell suddenly rang, breaking the eerie silence of the room.
Ye Qingran muttered as he took the initiative to open the door.
“Weiwei!” Why did you come back? Didn’t you just come back next week? ” Ye Qinggran said excitedly as he opened the door.
When everyone heard the sound and looked over, Ye Qingzhi also saw who it was and immediately went up to greet it.
Lin Qingrou looked at Ye Qingming. Ye Qingming explained, “It’s my sister, Quan Wei. She was away on a business trip a few days ago and had originally said that she would return next week.”
Lin Qingrou nodded, put down the teacup and looked curiously at Quan Wei. However, the moment she looked at Quan Wei, she was suddenly stunned.
Wasn’t this the girl he had almost bumped into in the morning at the cemetery?
While explaining with a smile, Quan Wei changed out of her wet clothes. However, the smile froze on her face the moment she and Lin Qingrou looked at each other.
“This is my girlfriend, Lin Manshui.” We specifically invited her to our house for dinner today. ” Then, he took a towel and gave it to Quan Wei to dry her hair and clothes.
The two of them recognized each other almost at the same time. Just as Lin Qingrou was about to get up, her eyes suddenly narrowed, and Weiwei frowned. She said coldly, “So she’s Brother Qing Ming’s girlfriend.”
However, immediately after, she actually smiled and took the initiative to extend her hand, “Hello, my name is Quan Wei. I didn’t know you were coming today and didn’t prepare any gifts just now. Please forgive me.”
Lin Manshou gently shook her hand, and she could not help but sneer in her heart. She had obviously just seen her in the cemetery this morning, so how could she have just gotten off the plane? It seemed like she didn’t want him to expose her, so she took the initiative to greet him to prevent him from telling her the truth.
She originally didn’t have the heart to care about Quan Wei’s matters. However, when she thought about it again, Quan Wei’s secret was also the Ye Family’s secret. Even if she didn’t investigate, it was always right to keep her mind.
Thus, Lin Qingrou deliberately looked at Quan Wei, but unexpectedly, she met Ye Qingcheng’s gaze. He seemed to have been secretly observing her!
Thinking of this, Lin Qingrou felt a chill run down her spine. She pretended to speak to Ye Qingming and turned her face away.
“Why don’t I leave first? Your family has gathered once with great difficulty. ” Lin Qingrou said to Ye Qingming.
Ye Qingming looked at Quan Wei and nodded at Lin Manshou, then said, “I’ll send you back. It’s already dark.”
After the two bid farewell to Ye Qingcheng and the others, Ye Qingming and Lin Qingrou walked out onto the road to wait for a taxi.
“Are you all right now?” Ye Qingming asked.
Lin Qingrou didn’t know what he was asking, so she looked at him curiously.
“I mean at dinner, I remember you being allergic to seafood?”
“Oh, so it’s that one. Fortunately, I didn’t eat much after that, so there was nothing much to do.” Lin Qingrou explained.
However, he just had to say whatever it was. When Lin Qingrou left the Ye Family, she had no symptoms at all. After she returned home, she started to get a lot of red rash.
Feeling annoyed, she went to the cabinet and took some allergic drugs. Perhaps it was due to the drugs, but before 10 o’clock, she fell asleep on the desk in her study.
The next morning, while the study was still dark, she was awakened by the ringing of a telephone.
“Manchu, it’s me.” Lin Yi’s voice came over the phone.
“Aunt, why are you so early?” Lin Qingrou pinched her sore shoulder as she looked at the alarm clock on the table.
It was already seven o’clock. No wonder his aunt had called.
“You haven’t been home for a long time, so we decided to visit your house today.” Aunt said worriedly.
Lin Qingrou subconsciously said, “How about this, I’ll go back. It’ll only take me 1 hour to get home.” Stop tormenting yourselves from far away. It just so happens that I have something to tell you as well. ”
“That’s fine too. We’ll wait for you at home. You must be careful.”
“Alright, I understand. Rest assured.”
After hanging up the phone, Lin Manmei stretched her body, finally feeling a lot of fatigue. She walked over to the mirror and looked at herself. There were still some red dots of varying depth on her body.
Was this Ye Qingzhi doing this on purpose? Although he had tried his best not to eat seafood, he still vomited all the food he had eaten. Even so, he still provoked a red rash all over his body.
Lin Qingrou walked back to the bedroom from the bathroom to change. As she was searching for her clothes, she suddenly saw the family card on the dresser.
This photo was taken when he was ten years old with his aunt’s family in a photographic studio. It was also the only photo of her that she owned.
Lin Qingrou carefully held up the photo frame, her eyes couldn’t help but miss the warmth within the photo. This was the only thing that she had treasured all these years.
She had lived with her aunt ever since she lost her father at the age of eight. The household register had also changed from aunt’s niece to aunt’s daughter.
This change took twenty years.
Lin Qingrou was filled with gratitude towards this matter. After all, if not for her aunt’s family, she would have been an orphan today. Therefore, she was very willing and willing to repay her aunt and uncle as her own parents.
She knew that she must never forget to avenge her father. Of course, she also knew how to repay his kindness with a drop of water. Life is always a complete circle, what you owe others must be returned, what others owe you must be returned!
By the time he got home, it was already ten o’clock.
After he had dinner with his aunt and uncle, Lin Qingrou accompanied him as they sat in the living room and chatted. She suddenly said solemnly, “Aunt, I came back today to see you. Secondly, I wanted to …” She held the glass of water tightly in her hand, not knowing how to start.
Uncle Cheng Jianguo and Aunt Lin Yi smiled and encouraged him, “If you have anything to say, just say it. We will support you!”
“I understand. I want to say that I, I’m going to get married.” Lin Qingrou hesitated for a moment, but eventually said it all out loud.
“What?” Lin Yi looked at Lin Qingrou in surprise, then at Cheng Jianguo.
“You said you were going to get married? When did you have a boyfriend?! How’s the other party? ” Lin Yi asked Lin Qingrou uneasily.
However, after thinking about it carefully, she could not reveal it to them. After all, her aunt and uncle did not know that her father had been murdered, so she told them everything from the beginning to the end.
Lin Yi listened attentively, and after pondering for a while, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“It’s good as long as you think it’s good. We’re old now, so we can’t care about the matters between you youngsters.” Lin Yi said absent-mindedly.
However, in comparison, Cheng Jianguo was more worried.
“Kan Rou, how long have you two known each other? “How did you suddenly think of getting married?”
“You don’t have to be burdened. You have to find someone you really like. “We never force our children to marry each other. We would rather support you for the rest of our lives than to let you suffer by hurriedly marrying someone who doesn’t care for you. So, don’t recklessly decide your life for other reasons!” Cheng Jianguo sighed heavily and said sincerely.
Hearing that, Lin Qingrou’s eyes turned red. She lowered her head and pretended to drink water and sniff her nose.
“Don’t worry, we’ve already decided to get married. We will definitely be able to live a good life.” she whispered.
Lin Yi seemed to be even calmer. She seriously thought for a while before asking, “When are you planning to get married?”
“We haven’t decided on this yet. Let’s discuss it later!”
Unknowingly, Cheng Jianguo had already lit up a cigarette. After taking a deep drag from it, he quietly walked to the balcony to smoke by himself.
Seeing this, Lin Yi said softly, “Your uncle hasn’t been home for several years to smoke. Usually, he can’t help but smoke a cigarette when something big happens in the department. Ever since he was young, he had always treated you like his own daughter. Now that he knows you’re going to marry him, I’m afraid he’ll be troubled for a while. ”
Lin Manrou thought it would be a relief to say that she was getting married, but she didn’t expect that when she saw her uncle like this, she felt even heavier.
Aunt was right. Ever since he was young, his uncle had always treated him like his own life. Sometimes, he would even treat his son better than he would his own son, Cheng Yun. In the past, Lin Qingrou had only heard that her father would be reluctant to part with her daughter. She would be unable to bear the feeling of separation for the rest of her life, but she had never thought that she would have such a sorrowful day.
After she left her aunt’s house, Lin Qingrou’s mood suddenly dropped. She took her bag and walked aimlessly through the streets, neither wanting to go home nor wanting to go anywhere else. It was as if this aimless time could make her feel a moment of relief.
