It's hard for a defeated president to chase his wife
Chapter 27 She Is Using Liu Zhirou's Kindness
After picking up Mrs. Lin from the hospital, Lin Wanmian stayed in Mrs. Lin's room to accompany her.
On the way back, Mrs. Lin hardly said anything.Lin Wanmian probably also guessed what Madam Lin was feeling. She groped for Madam Lin's hand and said with a smile:
"Grandma, we are home, but why do you seem to be more unhappy?"
Mrs. Lin looked at the unhealed wound on Lin Wanmian's lip, and at the bandaged place on her hand, which made her heart ache unbearably.With red eyes, she raised her hand to caress Lin Wanmian's cheek, held back her crying and said:
"Grandma is not unhappy, it's just that she is too old to keep up."
well!It's not just that she can't keep up with her spirit. Seeing the current defeat of the Lin family, even if she has energy, she will be so worried that she will lose energy.
Although they are still living in this mansion now, she has already learned from other noble ladies who have been in contact with her that their Lin family mansion no longer belongs to their Lin family.
Now it seems that I can still live here, but I don't know if I have to leave someday.
Looking at her granddaughter who couldn't see anything in front of her eyes, Mrs. Lin didn't know that the injury on her body was from a fall, and something must have happened that she didn't know about.
But she also knew that she was an old bone, and what was the use of heartache and anxiety.She can't help at this time, if her granddaughter doesn't want her to know too much, she can only pretend to be peaceful.
Lin Wanmian hoped that Mrs. Lin would not know too much, lest she worry too much.But thinking about it now, the Lin family is like this now, and there may be many unexpected difficulties in the future, and she can hide it for a while, but she won't be able to hide it for the rest of her life.
Instead of thinking about not letting the elderly worry about it, it is better to tell the family to reach a consensus based on the facts.In this way, no one has to pretend to be strong. Their tight hug is the strength the Lin family needs most.
After changing her mind, Lin Wanmian hugged Mrs. Lin and said:
"Grandma, I know you know very well in your heart that our Lin family is in a mess. I originally planned to hide everything from grandma, but now I find that how can someone as smart as my grandma not understand the development of the situation?" So, I think I should believe that grandma is also strong. No matter what happened to our Lin family, all of us should know and face it together, right, grandma?"
Lin Wanmian's tone was light and clear, which made Mrs. Lin feel fresh.She looked at Lin Wanmian with some joy, and found that there was no pretense on her face.
Mrs. Lin sighed in relief, and said:
"Mianmian, why does grandma think that you seem to be a different person, very different from the past, grandma sees both familiarity and strangeness."
"Then grandma thinks I was better in the past, or am I better now?"
"In the past, Mianmian was obedient and caring, and now Mianmian is also very caring, but she is even braver, making grandma feel very reliable."
"Mom is not here. I am the head of the Lin family. Of course I want my grandma to have a backing. So, grandma, don't worry so much, but grandma, you can stand behind me and cheer me on. Let's overcome the difficulties of the Lin family together. "
Lin Wanmian's smile became brighter and brighter. She cried, suffered sins, lost face, and begged for help... But these things didn't help things at all except for making herself look like a pitiful wretch.
Instead of being a pitiful puppy, she might as well try her best to figure out how to take steps to turn things around.
Optimism and courage are useful!In this way, people around her will trust her, and she won't be unable to do anything because she is blind.
Mrs. Lin smiled with tears in her eyes, full of emotion in her heart.I thought that the most vulnerable child of the Lin family was braver than any of them, and boldly stepped out to face the wind and rain outside to find a way out for the Lin family.
There is nothing wrong with finding a way out for the Lin family, but since we have to face each other honestly, Mrs. Lin doesn't want to pretend to be confused anymore. She sighed and said to Lin Wanmian:
"Mianmian, since you think it's better for all of us to face difficulties together, can you tell grandma what you and the Rong family have negotiated?"
Lin Piaoyu's case was adjourned earlier, and Mrs. Lin knew that it was the result of Lin Wanmian's visit to Rong Guanglong.
But she still knew something about Rong Guanglong.When the two families got along well in the past, Rong Guanglong was very polite, and his elder brother and sister-in-law called him affectionately.
But since her husband passed away, Rong Guanglong and their Lin family have drifted apart.She didn't think that Rong Guanglong, who had been estranged for so many years, would come to the rescue just because his granddaughter asked for help. It must be profitable, so Rong Guanglong could come forward to deal with the Lin family.
Lin Wanmian was not surprised when she heard Mrs. Lin's question, and she didn't intend to hide it, so she told Mrs. Lin everything about it.
After hearing this, Mrs. Lin felt that she was in a bad mood. It was impossible for her not to worry. If things got out of control, no matter what, her granddaughter would not be able to marry an abnormal man like Rong Shengzu.
Lin Wanmian could tell from Mrs. Lin's tight grip on her hand what Mrs. Lin was worried about. She smiled and comforted:
"Grandma, don't worry, I have my own plan and I won't spoil myself."
"Hey! Grandma, why don't you worry? If there is no way out, how can the Rong family let you go?"
"No, I will find a way to escape, grandma, you believe me, the so-called boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge!"
Lin Wanmian comforted Mrs. Lin, but in fact she didn't have much confidence in her heart, she didn't know if she could escape from the Rong family.
But things have come to this point, firstly, she has no choice, secondly, she really wants to see if her bet will win?
The next day, as the Rong family released the news that Rong Shengzu had a real fiancée, the media did not change the topic as easily as expected. Instead, many people ridiculed the Rong family for urgently arranging a nihilistic fiancée to come out to put out the fire in order to cover up the truth.
But then, the Rong family announced that Rong Shengzu would hold an engagement ceremony with his fiancée, who had been engaged since childhood, in a month.
As soon as this news came out, many media reports changed the direction of the wind somewhat, and began to talk more positively about Rong Shengzu's sexuality, which might be rumors and slanders.
Coupled with the secret efforts of the Rong family, Rong Shengzu's scandal made more and more people believe that he was deliberately slandered.
But those who know the truth are not so easy to believe. Among them, Liu Zhirou absolutely does not believe that Rong Shengzu was slandered.
But she doesn't care whether Rong Shengzu is "straight" or "curvy", what she cares about is the so-called "fiancée" mentioned by the Rong family.It happened that she was invited by Lin Wanmian to come to Lin's house. She didn't care about how to greet, so she grabbed Lin Wanmian and asked directly, saying:
"Wan Mian, that fiancée mentioned by the Rong family is not you, is it?"
Lin Wanmian said before that she was Rong Shengzu's fiancée, but Liu Zhirou felt that it was not so formal, and she knew that Lin Wanmian didn't really agree to be Rong Shengzu's fiancée, so she thought this matter would just go away!
But when Rong's family suddenly announced so formally that Rong Shengzu was going to be engaged to his fiancée, Liu Zhirou thought of Lin Wanmian sensitively.So as soon as she arrived at Lin's house, she asked questions in a hurry!
Concerned about her, Lin Wanmian blinked lightly, smiled faintly, and said:
"That's right, our Lin family is going to be engaged to the Rong family. That's right. I promised the Rong family that the Lin family will act as their shield and let Rong Shengzu get rid of those scandals."
"What? This... How is this possible? Don't you know how obscene Rong Shengzu is? If you don't stay away from him, why do you still lean towards him?"
Liu Zhirou was in a hurry, she didn't have a good impression of Rong Shengzu.Occasionally, I ran into Rong Shengzu at some high society gatherings, and he seemed to be constantly flirting with the daughters of various families.But in private, many celebrities secretly said that he was very strange, but he always stopped when he got people, and never played with them to the end.
Rong Shengzu often hooked up with famous ladies at banquets, Liu Zhirou knew about it, because Rong Shengzu had hooked up with her several times.It's just that Rong Shengzu doesn't seem to remember that he has approached her a long time ago, and he repeats the same old saying every time as if he met her for the first time.
It might be that she didn't talk to him very much, but he didn't bother him much, he always kept his witty point to the end.
Thinking about it now, Rong Shengzu probably deliberately created an image of a playboy for himself, so that outsiders would think that he was always lingering in the flowers.
Lin Wanmian was grateful to Liu Zhirou for worrying about her, she said calmly and helplessly:
"I need the Rong family to help me with my mother's affairs. When something happened to Rong Shengzu, they need someone who can help put out the fire in their house. And our Lin family happens to be the most suitable. Therefore, the Lin family and the Rong family become "in-laws" "It's a fair deal."
"What about after getting engaged? Will we still have to get married in the future?"
Liu Zhirou subconsciously thought that it must be Lin Wanmian who was engaged to Rong Shengzu, but she didn't realize that Lin Wanmian was always talking about "the Lin family", not herself.
Because she thought Lin Wanmian was going to sacrifice herself, Liu Zhirou couldn't understand her decision.She felt that no matter how it was a deal, Lin Wanmian couldn't trade herself!
What's more, Rong Shengzu was so obscene when he didn't write a word. If he became an official fiancée, if he went crazy, who knew what he would do?
Even if something happens at that time, others will think it is normal, and no one will blame Rong Shengzu at all. On the contrary, even if Lin Wanmian wants to call for help, no one will sympathize.
Liu Zhirou couldn't believe that Lin Wanmian was officially becoming Rong Shengzu's fiancée.Ke Lin Wanmian then answered her:
"After the engagement, if the Rong family can fulfill my request, there will be no accidents, and a formal marriage between the Lin family and the Rong family is inevitable."
"...!" Liu Zhirou was so shocked that she didn't know what to say.Because Lin Wanmian was too indifferent, Liu Zhirou could only turn to Nalan and ask:
"Nalan, do you agree with Wanmian to do this? Are you not worried?"
Nalan said blankly:
"At present, I can't stop Mianmian's thoughts. Besides, we want to save Madam, so trading with the Rong family is the best choice."
"Why do you even support such a dangerous thing? There are always other ways to save people. Why do you have to use Mianmian?"
"Because I have nothing else to sell, and fortunately the Rong family still sees my value, otherwise...!" Otherwise, where would she have the capital to negotiate?
In the past, if she had to say that she could only betray herself, Lin Wanmian would probably be so sad that she wanted to cry.But now she doesn't feel that there is anything to be sad about. Things haven't reached the worst point yet, so of course there is no sorrow. She just speaks the truth naturally!
But she didn't feel sorry for herself, but Liu Zhirou's sympathy overflowed. She suddenly flipped through her bag, then took out a bank card and stuffed it in Lin Wanmian's hand and said:
"Wanmian, don't risk yourself. I know you are trying to raise money. I have some here. You take it first, and I will try to find a way to help you raise more!"
Lin Wanmian touched the bank card in her hand, the heat in her heart kept surging, she blinked her moist eyes, put the bank card back into Liu Zhirou's hand and said:
"Zhirou, thank you! But I won't accept your money!"
"Why? Just treat it as if I borrowed from you, wouldn't it be fine?"
"Because I want to cherish you, I want to cherish a friendship with you that has no monetary interests. If I accept such a large sum of money from you, I will not be able to treat you as a friend."
"But, I...!"
"Zhirou, let's be simple friends, shall we?"
Lin Wanmian really wanted to be pure friends with Liu Zhirou, but this thought made her feel guilty.
Because she was not completely honest with Liu Zhirou, she was taking advantage of Liu Zhirou's kindness!
On the way back, Mrs. Lin hardly said anything.Lin Wanmian probably also guessed what Madam Lin was feeling. She groped for Madam Lin's hand and said with a smile:
"Grandma, we are home, but why do you seem to be more unhappy?"
Mrs. Lin looked at the unhealed wound on Lin Wanmian's lip, and at the bandaged place on her hand, which made her heart ache unbearably.With red eyes, she raised her hand to caress Lin Wanmian's cheek, held back her crying and said:
"Grandma is not unhappy, it's just that she is too old to keep up."
