Rebirth: I Want to Be a Hot Heroine

Since then, I have never met the Qin family again.

Xu Ci'en built a small game studio, and He Aiyuan also bought some professional books to read. After get off work every day, she would immerse herself in books and skip dinner.

When Lin Tong came back from training in the evening, He Aiyuan was still reading overtime.

Even when she came back tired, she would be caught and asked about English. Seeing her like this, Lin Tong enjoyed it and tried his best to teach her some basic things.

In the entire dormitory, they are the only two who work in the same milk tea shop. Their working hours are staggered, so it’s quieter for both of them.

Seeing that the enrollment time was approaching, Lin Tong was also making preparations. She worked part-time and saved some money to buy a new mobile phone. It was more convenient to have an Internet connection. It was very fast to buy tickets and check information.

Lin Tong helped He Aiyuan review a little late last night and went to work early. He felt a little exhausted.

"Beauty, I'm going to find my daughter."

Lin Tong was taking orders from customers in line when a strange man, hunched over, asked her.

"Excuse me, your daughter..."

Before Lin Tong finished asking the question, He Aiyuan, who was packing milk tea, saw her father.

I haven't seen him for more than half a year. He has aged again. When my mother died, his hair was only half white. Now, he has a head full of white hair and a hunched back. Due to long-term alcoholism, his body has become obese and his face is covered with swollen fat.

"Dad! Why are you here?"

"Yuanyuan, take your dad over there to talk first. I'll be here. Sister Lu will help me."

When He Aiyuan saw the customers queuing behind, she took her father downstairs.

One morning, He Aiyuan took her father there and never came back. Lin Tong was a little worried. According to the pace of her previous life, she would not go back with her father so soon.

In her previous life, He Aiyuan was unwilling to go back. The two argued for a long time until He's father said that her grandmother was in the hospital. Only then did He Aiyuan go back reluctantly, crying.

Although the pace of many things happened slower, the general content of the events was the same. When it was almost time to get off work at noon, Lin Tong switched shifts with his colleagues and quickly called He Aiyuan.

He Aiyuan was crying on the other end of the phone, "Tongtong, I'm going to get married. My dad said he has found a marriage for me and has already accepted the betrothal gifts. I, I don't know what to do."

"Don't worry, Yuanyuan, where are you?"

"I'm at the fountain next door."

Lin Tong started to jog and saw He Aiyuan sitting by the fountain crying.

As soon as He Aiyuan saw her, her tears flowed like a faucet without a valve, and she hugged Lin Tong and cried.

She cried and said, "My grandma is sick and is in the hospital now. There is no one to take care of her."

"I don't know what to do. I really want to learn some skills. I thought that if I learn well, I will have money and can let my grandma enjoy a few days of good life. But what should I do now?"

The girl hugged Lin Tong and cried breathlessly, her tears and snot smearing on Lin Tong's shoulders and clothes.

Lin Tong patted He Aiyuan's shoulder and waited for her to finish crying. Only when she was tired could they talk properly.

He Aiyuan cried for half an hour, her eyes were swollen like frog eyes and her nose was red.

No more tears, but still sobbing.

Lin Tong pulled her out of his arms. It was such a hot day, and she was sweating from holding him so tightly.

He Aiyuan looked at her pitifully, blinking her big eyes. Lin Tong looked at her little appearance and reached out to touch her face.

Lin Tong treats He Aiyuan like a younger sister. He doesn't want her to go back to that confused life. He hopes that she can find a new direction in her life and shine.

"I'm going to talk to your dad. You go back to work this afternoon."

He Aiyuan nodded.

Lin Tong found her father at noon.

"Hello uncle, I heard that you are engaged to Ai Yuan."

"Did that girl tell you?" He's father said with disdain.

"Uncle, marriage is her own, you can't make the decision for her."

"Parents' orders and matchmaker's words have always been like this since ancient times. Besides, is it your turn to comment on our family affairs?"

Lin Tong curled her lips and smiled, "Since uncle is so rude, then I don't need to be polite to you. If I guess correctly, uncle owes a lot of gambling debts, right? You said her grandmother was sick and hospitalized. I think the grandmother doesn't know that her son is so filial? You took the betrothal gift, so you can't hold her responsible."

He's father was furious. "It's none of your business. It's my family business. What do you know?"

"You must have lost the betrothal gift at the gambling table, and you probably owe a lot for drinks too."

Lin Tong looked calm and composed, and every word she said hit He's father's heart, "What do you know? You're just talking nonsense here."

"Whose daughter are you? You are so naughty. I think our daughter has learned bad things from you."

"Uncle, you're joking. She has her own ideas. How can I influence her? But I can still influence you on the matter of embezzling the betrothal gift. According to Chinese law, embezzling the betrothal gift is illegal." Lin Tong smiled with indifference in his eyes.

He's father's face turned pale, and he shouted, "What bullshit, I haven't heard it, my daughter learned bad things from you, I will teach you a lesson today on behalf of your parents!"

As he said this, he pretended to hit Lin Tong.

Lin Tong dodged and he didn't hit Lin Tong. He became even more annoyed and turned around to pull Lin Tong's arm. Lin Tong raised his arm slightly and moved to the side of the pool. He's father fell into the pool and landed flat on his face.

"Someone's been beaten! Someone's been beaten! What kind of world is this? A young man is beating someone!"

He's father rolled around in the pool, shouting and yelling, and soon people surrounded him.

"Little girl, it's wrong for you to do this. How can you hit an old man? Have you read so much that it has become a dog's stomach?" A middle-aged aunt, carrying a basket of vegetables, pointed at Lin Tong and cursed angrily.

Lin Tong said to his aunt, "Did you see me hitting him?"

The aunt raised her hand and pointed at the person in the pool, "Although I didn't see it, you pushed the person in, and you still say such things."

Lin Tong really wanted to roll her eyes at her, "If you didn't see it, stop barking like a dog."

"Ah, why are you swearing? Do you have any manners?"

The aunt was so angry that she danced, stamped her feet, and shook her hands, as if she had been scolded by Lin Tong a thousand times.

Lin Tong was too lazy to pay attention to her. "Auntie, please check if you have good manners. A person with good manners will not come up and scold someone without knowing right or wrong. If someone doesn't know, they will think you are staring at me with a magnifying glass. Do you think you are a surveillance camera? Even 4K is not as high-definition as you?"

The aunt's face looked like an overturned millstone, very ugly. But she was still strong despite being unjustified.

"It's obvious that your parents didn't teach you well. Don't you know how to be polite to the elderly?"

"It's not up to you to decide whether you've taught someone well or not. There's no need to educate someone like you who speaks without thinking. You can't even write entertainment news like you? If you live a few more years and just practice this, then you've lived most of your life in vain. Go back and ask your parents to teach you what manners are."

When the aunt saw that she really couldn't win the argument, she said unwillingly, "I won't bother with you," and then left in shame.

Seeing how rebellious Lin Tong was, the people standing by also left one after another.

He's father was still lying in the pool, too shameless to get up.

"If you want to lie down, then lie down. He Aiyuan will not marry. If you want to marry, you can do it yourself."
