"I suddenly remembered I left something at Lu Liangwei's place. I'm heading back to get it," Lin Qingyuan replied, giving a forced excuse.
Her father grunted coldly. "Are you trying to trick me with such a lousy excuse? You don't get along with Lu Liangwei at all. How is it possible that you've left something at her place?"
Lin Qingyuan's mother tried to talk some sense into her as well. "Yuan'er, stop being so stubborn. Xuping did not stand you up on purpose. Didn't he rush here to apologize to you immediately after he was done with work?"
Lin Qingyuan's heart fell when she heard this. She turned to look at the man, who stayed silent throughout but with a smile on his face.
This was a scheming man. How could he make up such a lie to trick her parents?
The worse thing was that her parents had believed him.
Even if she had explained fervently in detail, she would have wasted her breath as her parents would not believe her.
