“But…” Mr Lin looked up as his voice stiffened, “The news I got is different.”
“What sort of news you’ve got? Lin Yazhi’s heart skipped a beat.
Mr Lin smiled, “Xiang Jinxi said he is okay to meet you and he liked a pure-type of girl like you. I’m sure you’ll get along. Meet up tomorrow then, I’ll let you know the time and place later.”
“But dad, I already have a boyfriend, I can’t go meet him!”
“Break up.”
Lin Yazhi slammed the table, “Dad, you’re too much! If I say I’m not going I’ll not be going. I won’t be forced to do things that goes against my conscience!”
“Yazhi, I’m doing this for your future, why are you so stubborn!”
“Don’t sugarcoat that! Don’t get me involved in your struggle for power, I won’t agree to it!”
As she said that, she ran up the stairs.
“It’s late, stay for the night!” Mrs Lin looked worriedly at her husband before shouting towards the stairs.
Lin Yazhi was furious, her leaving home for the last time was not without reason!
Her dad would only do things based on his whims and fancy. He totally gave no thought to what she was thinking.
She threw herself onto her bed as she went into her room fuming.
“It’s just too much, too much! I’ll marry who I like, if you force me any more I’ll leave for good, and you won’t be finding me this time around!”
Agitated, she went to the door and yelled to let out her frustrations.
Knock knock.
Someone was knocking the door.
“Brother, I’m already sleeping…”
Lin Yazhi lay sprawled on the bed and this time, usually only her brother would come to look for her.
“You lousy liar, you sound energetic alright. I’m coming in.”
The sound of the key turning came from outside.
Yazhi could only resignedly sit up right, looking at him as she hugged her pillow.
“Don’t speak for dad, or I’ll hate you as well.”
Lin Jingzhi walked slowly to the bedside, “I did not come to speak for him.”
“Since when you never stood on his side? Bro, you want to make it big with dad, but I just want to live normally, I’m not interested in power or wealth!” She punched her pillow, “Don’t even think about sacrificing my marriage!”
Lin Jingzhi patted her hand, “I know, so that’s why I’m standing on your side this time around. But he’s still your father, so don’t quarrel with him, and don’t say you’ll leave home again. How old are you now, playing such a childish game still?”
“I…..” She pursed her lips and nodded, “I understand.”
“Alright, sleep early then.” Lin Jingzhi stroked her hair and got up. “Good night.”
“Good night…..”
After thinking things through, Lin Yazhi did not feel all that bad now and slept soon after.
The next day, she saw her father, stern-faced on the dining table and hurriedly over to apologize.
“Dad, I went overboard last night, don’t be angry, but let me handle my own marriage okay?”
“Yazhi, I know you have strong opinions against my arrangement but you need to know, I have too many competitors, and each of their backers are more and more prominent than the former. If we don’t play our cards right, the Lin’s will fall very quickly. I don’t watch those tabloid news, and only found out that Huo Yunting already has a son, so that’s that. But Xiangyuan Corp is based in the capital, and for us Lins, that is a very powerful advantage.”
