Chapter 136 – “Would you believe me if… if I say we are not in a relationship?” (2)
Ms. Lin Ping’s rash and hasty mannerism reminded Lin Yiyi of the previous time when Ms. Lin Ping returned. She was just as blunt as she was that time.
As soon as she saw her, instead of affection between family members, it was a photo that was tossed in front of her…
Right when she was thinking about that, Ms. Lin Ping had already tossed another picture at her.
Eh?!
Lin Yiyi quickly caught the weapon with both hands.
This was…
Was she trying to set her up again?
It would, of course, make sense for Lin Yiyi to think that.
This was a replay of the past!
“What is going on between you and the Lu guy?”
Ms. Lin Ping, her arms crossed in front of her, sat on the couch like a visiting empress.
By now, Lin Yiyi has had a chance to look at the picture. It was Lu Xun having dinner next to her in the dining room.
The picture clearly captured the content on Lu Xun’s face after he had just finished a great meal…
Taken completely out of context, it looked like Lu Xun was smiling sweetly and tenderly at her!
Lin Yiyi: “……”
The corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Judging from the angle of the picture, it was probably taken stealthily by either Xiao Chen or Housekeeper Zhang.
Most likely Housekeeper Zhang if she has to guess.
Well that was… Rumors could kill!
“What do you have to say for yourself?” asked Ms. Lin Ping as she gave Lin Yiyi a patronizing look.
Ms. Lin Ping’s I-am-here-to-catch-you-red-handed look made Lin Yiyi want to tread lightly on this subject.
She sat down carefully on the couch before she told them how she had met Lu Xun the day she went fishing with her stepdad.
She was, of course, too embarrassed to share the story of how she had mistaken Lu Xun as her date during the matchmaking.
Ms. Lin Ping glared over at Mr. Gu.
Mr. Gu cleared his throat with a guilty conscience. “Xiao Lu is an upstanding man and not a bad guy. Don’t just assume that he’s no good because he’s in the entertainment field.”
Ms. Lin Ping merely snickered in response.
“The truth is, he merely came over for a few meals because he was trying to think of what to get stepdad.”
Lin Yiyi wanted to sigh too, alright? The angle of the picture was too tricky!
That being said, why did the look on the Lu guy appear so doting in the picture?
The thought made her shuddered.
Ms. Lin Ping had always had a thing against anyone in the entertainment circle…
By proxy, this Lu Xun, being the owner of an entertainment company, must not be a good person. But, thinking about it some more, perhaps he was a nice guy after all?
Ms. Lin Ping has faith in Old Gu when it comes to something like this.
Old Gu wasn’t good at many things, but he has an eye for people…
The best example was, of course, that he had married her!
Ms. Lin Ping thrusted out her chest a little.
After thinking about that, she had decided to give him a chance.
So, she said to Lin Yiyi, “Why don’t we do this? You have him over for dinner tomorrow and I will be my own judge.”
That put Lin Yiyi in a peculiar position.
“What’s wrong? Can your parents not meet him?”
Ms. Lin Ping got upset all over again. “I knew he wasn’t a responsible person. It looked like he has been coming over here quite frequently as of late?”
“Mom, that’s not it…” Lin Yiyi has yet to explain that she and Lu Xun were not a couple.
But the way that Ms. Lin Ping wanted to meet him right away made her seem so certain that there was something going on between the two of them.
Lin Yiyi saw Housekeeper Zhang peeking her head out from behind the door.
Meeting Lin Yiyi’s eyes, she quickly went back into hiding with a guilty conscience and shut the door.
Lin Yiyi: “……”
Housekeeper Zhang, exactly how long do you think you can hide from this?
