Chapter 1941: Chapter 1942: He Never Even Cared About Jiang Chenyue and the Others!
Su Yijiu’s face was flushed, and she lowered her head guiltily, speaking softly, “Dad, I heard.”
Lin Wei acknowledged with a nod and asked the other two, “How about you, did you hear?”
Lin Na grew up being pampered. She’s quiet by nature, has few friends, and rarely argues with others. This was the first and only time Lin Wei questioned her publicly.
Her thin skin made her fair, oval-shaped face turn bright red, and she whispered, “I heard.”
Could Su Xiansui really say she hadn’t heard?
Recognizing the situation, she nodded but didn’t dare look at Jiang Chenyue, “I heard too.”
Lin Wei said, “Good that you heard! I have raised you to be distinguished ladies, not to become girls like Shen Siyuan. If I hear you gossiping again, with anyone, let alone the in-laws, I won’t forgive you! Understand?”
The Lin Family has been an elegant lineage for a hundred years!
The girls raised in this family should epitomize high society. Jiang Chenyue didn’t mention it, but he knew nothing of their ploys outside!
What a disgrace!
His words were enough to make Su Yijiu, Lin Na, and Su Xiansui lower their heads.
It was rare for Lin Teng not to stand up for his wife and daughter. He quietly sipped his water, his mature and serious square face showing a solemn expression comparable to Lin Wei’s.
Lin Na glanced at him for help several times, but he just kept looking straight ahead, barely sipping his water.
Making Lin Na both ashamed and angry, her eyes turned red.
Only then did he put down his cup, looked at the three of them, and said just one sentence, “She’s Shengxiao’s wife.”
Shengxiao is part of the Lin Family.
Rong Yan is the woman Shengxiao put on the family register.
No matter how people talk about her outside, as family, they should be protecting Rong Yan. Instead, some act as if they didn’t hear, some form alliances to isolate Rong Yan, and others go further to spread rumors about a divorce…
It’s not that he doesn’t protect them, but they’ve gone too far, making it impossible for him as an uncle to cover for them in front of his nephew.
Su Yijiu, Lin Na, and Su Xiansui deflated like balloons, meekly acknowledging their mistake, “Understood.”
The atmosphere throughout the meal was heavy.
After dinner.
The two families had mostly settled the marriage arrangements.
Before leaving, Lin Wei had a brief conversation with Chu Aotian about the guests invited by both families.
Li Shengxiao didn’t like taking part in these gatherings, so he took Rong Yan and left first with the car keys.
…
Parking lot.
Rong Yan quickly caught up and tapped him on the shoulder, asking, “When Mrs. Jiang talked about us divorcing, why didn’t you say anything?”
That’s not like him.
She was so worried she almost spoke up for him then.
Li Shengxiao clasped her hand and touched her cold palm, frowning, “Your hand is so cold, why didn’t you dress warmer?”
“I didn’t realize how cold it was outside, just put on something. I found out it was cold only after going out.” Rong Yan almost let him change the subject, then quickly raised her head, “No, wait, I asked first, what were you thinking then? If Mrs. Jiang insists on us divorcing, would you really divorce me?”
If that’s the case, she’d be very upset.
Li Shengxiao’s deep eyes fixed on her hands, warming them with his rub, and when he found them still cold, he just put them into his coat pockets, finally replying to Rong Yan.
“They can say whatever they want, it has nothing to do with us; they don’t hold our marriage license.”
“…”
So at the dinner table, he was just sitting back to watch the drama unfold.
