Lin Yuetong was enraged as he yelled, âLin Yan! Donât be rude and imprudent! Do you think I want to bother with your affairs? Youâve learned nothing by staying with your mother! What have you achieved? You have shamed me!
If it wasnât for Shuya, do you think I would care about you? Youâre a girl and you arenât studying or holding a proper job. In that case, you have to get married!â
She had never expected that Lin Shuya would be involved in this matter...
Lin Yan scoffed aloud. âYou want me to get married to a pervert and abuser like him? Youâre truly my father!â
Yang Baixiong had never been this furious, as no one had ever condemned him in this way. With a murderous gleam in his eyes, he glared at Lin Yuetong. âChairman Lin, youâve brought up your daughter well!â
Across the room was a huge, luxurious couch with a marble coffee table. Several guests were huddled together, engaged in hushed whispers as they glanced at the commotion surreptitiously.
âIs that Lin Yan from Meeting Oneâs Match? What is she up to today?â
âWhat else could it be? Lin Yuetong wants his daughter to be with Yang Baixiong, but she isnât very willing and she has fallen out with him!â
âWhat? She is really that gutsy? Who would dare to offend Yang Baixiong?â
...
Lin Yuetong glared at Lin Yan as anger boiled inside of him. He dragged Lin Yan to a corner and hissed in her ear. âLin Yan, shut up! If you are obedient, why would he abuse you? Anyway, itâs perfectly normal for a man to use force occasionally.
Whatâs bad about President Yang? He is merely a little old. Since he is already divorced, you will have a proper status. You wonât have to lift a finger or worry about money if you marry him. Countless women are fighting to be in your position, yet youâre saying no?â
Lin Yan scoffed when Lin Yuetong spoke as though this was a tremendous blessing. âWhy donât you offer this to Lin Shuya?â
Lin Yuetong inhaled deeply as he shook with rage. âHow dare you mention Shuya! You didnât graduate from school and you have a horrible reputation in the industry. If it wasnât for me, would you be able to meet someone like Yang Baixiong?
Donât be so stubborn! With your reputation, who would want to marry you? Donât tell me you dream of marrying an eligible guy like Han Yixuan? That would be ridiculous!â
Lin Yuetong commanded her gravely, âApologize to President Yang right away! Donât you dare implicate me. Iâm warning you, no one can save you if you offend Yang Baixiong.â
Lin Yan had heard of the sort of man Yang Baixiong was.
He was exceedingly arrogant and mean and he bore grudges. He was known to be merciless and cruel, so no one dared to provoke him.
It would be impossible to escape unscathed if anyone offended him.
The guests were all quietly observing the situation, but no one stepped up to help her.
Lin Yan was about to retort when a familiar voice greeted her. âMiss Lin!â
Pei Nanxu...
He strode briskly towards her with a charming, warm smile. âMiss Lin, what a coincidence to meet you here!â
