Unwilling… unwilling… Shi Yao’s fingers trembled slightly as she held onto her phone.
It was no wonder that when he told her that he was going to break off the engagement, she didn’t feel as relaxed as she had hoped for. On the contrary, she felt an overwhelming sense of panic instead. It was no wonder that she had been feeling so agitated for the past few days, unable to control her unhappiness, she had been unable to get into the mood to do anything, so it turned out that she was afraid… afraid that she would really cut all ties with him just like that.
In the past, she had never thought that he was that important to her, but it was only now that she realized just how important he was to her.
Important… Shi Yao didn’t know how long she had been staring blankly at her phone like a wooden stake. All she knew was that she had been jolted back to her senses by the ringing of her phone.
Due to the overwhelming number of calls from her parents over the past few days, Shi Yao had forgotten that she had blacklisted their number. Instinctively, she thought that it was still them, so she subconsciously tried to hang up the call, however, just as her fingers were about to touch the screen, she realized that the caller ID was Grandpa Lin.
Shi Yao hurriedly changed her action from hanging up to picking up the call.
She raised the phone to her ear and called out, “Grandpa Lin.”
The other end of the line fell silent.
Shi Yao waited patiently for a moment, but seeing that old Mister Lin was still silent, she asked, “Grandpa Lin?”
This time, a heavy sigh came from the other end of the line. After which, Old Mister Lin finally spoke up, “Yaoyao, Grandpa has let you down.”
Let Me Down… Why would grandpa Lin say something like that?
Shi Yao was completely baffled by what he said. Before she could say anything, Old Mister Lin spoke up from the other end of the line, “Yaoyao, it’s all Grandpa’s fault. It’s all Grandpa’s fault for not controlling that brat properly!”
What in the world was going on?
“Grandpa Lin…”Shi Yao was getting more and more confused as she listened. She subconsciously opened her mouth, wanting to ask Old Mister Lin why he said that.
But she only said three words before old Mister Lin on the other end of the phone.., his tone then changed to one of gritted teeth, “Yaoyao, don’t worry. I Won’t let that Brat off. I Won’t let him off! He’s simply a disgrace to our family! Yaoyao, it’s fine if you don’t want a person like him. In any case, it’s his loss to miss you!”
You Little Brat..
Shi Yao frowned slightly. She knew that Grandpa Lin was referring to Lin Jiage.
But what exactly did Lin Jiage say to Grandpa Lin? Did he make Grandpa Lin so angry? And he even made Grandpa Lin, who had always been so domineering that he would never allow her to break off the engagement with him, relent?
On the other end of the phone, old Mister Lin had been scolding Lin Jiage for a long time, but he didn’t say what exactly happened.
Shi Yao’s curiosity was piqued, and she couldn’t help but ask, “Grandpa Lin, Lin Jiage, what… happened to him?”
“He…”Old Mister Lin seemed to be truly infuriated by Lin Jiage. He uttered a single word in exasperation before abruptly stopping. In just three short seconds.., old Mister Lin changed the topic,”… Let’s not talk about him anymore, Yaoyao. Grandpa really likes you a lot, and he really wants you to marry into the Lin family… it’s just that fate plays tricks on people, and perhaps fate isn’t enough… But yaoyao, even though we can’t become a family, Grandpa dotes on you from the bottom of his heart. In the future, regardless of whether you run into any trouble or need any help, feel free to look for Grandpa…”
