Feng Lin?
She remembered that Xu Chuan had just mentioned that the man's name was Feng Lin!
Xu Ruoying's complexion had turned somewhat pale; what era was this?
She couldn't accept an unexpected fiancé suddenly appearing.
"Yingying, the man you encountered, what was his name?" Xu Ruoying urgently asked.
"I don't know, I thought he was out of his mind, and only dared to chat a little when we were about to arrive at the station."
Zhou Ziying was somewhat stunned; it couldn't really be him, could it?
"Let him in!"
Wang Qin stood up and said to the security guard.
"Yes!"
The security guard immediately jogged out.
...
Feng Lin paced back and forth outside the main gate; in no time, the security guard came running over.
"Sir, please come in."
"No need for formalities."
Feng Lin waved his hand and walked toward the interior of the manor, soon spotting three women coming to greet him from afar.
He raised his eyebrows upon recognizing Zhou Ziying, whom he had encountered on the train.
It seemed they did know each other.
"It's him!"
Zhou Ziying pointed at Feng Lin and said.
After hearing this, Wang Qin's facial expression darkened; she observed Feng Lin carefully—dressed in cheap casual clothes.
He had no sense of style at all.
If there was one good thing about him, it was that he looked decent.
But being handsome wouldn't put food on the table, especially for families like theirs.
Wang Qin already had someone in mind for her daughter's partner—the young master of the Song Family from Jiang City.
The Song Family was one of the four major families in Jiang City.
Moreover, Mr. Song had deep feelings for Xu Ruoying.
Xu Ruoying also harbored a good impression of Mr. Song.
"Your name is Feng Lin?"
Wang Qin asked sternly.
"That's correct, I am Xu Ruoying's fiance. Today I am here to…"
"You don't speak! I ask the questions, and you respond," Wang Qin cut off Feng Lin's words, "What is your occupation?"
"Occupation?"
Feng Lin shook his head, "I'm currently not working."
"Not working? Then what does your family do?"
Wang Qin knew that some rich second-generation kids don't work because their families have money.
"My old man is a doctor," Feng Lin thought for a moment before answering.
"Does your family own a hospital?"
"No, we run a clinic," Feng Lin replied.
Wang Qin was impressed with Feng Lin's courage after listening to his self-introduction.
How shameless could he be, daring to approach them and discuss marriage with her precious daughter?
No background, no job, just a family running a clinic.
It was questionable whether they could earn two thousand yuan a month.
And with that, he still wanted to marry her daughter?
"Get out! Haven't you looked in the mirror? Take my daughter away to share your misery?" Wang Qin pointed at Feng Lin and yelled.
"Stop!"
From a distance, Xu Chuan approached quickly.
He was holding a photograph, carefully comparing it to Feng Lin—it did resemble him quite a bit.
However, Feng Lin in the photo appeared to be only about ten years old.
"Husband, this man has no money, no status, and doesn't even have a job—surely you're not letting our daughter jump into a pit of fire?"
Wang Qin grabbed Xu Chuan's arm, staring fiercely at Feng Lin.
"Enough!"
Xu Chuan took a deep breath and looked at Feng Lin. "Before my father passed away, he specifically entrusted this matter to me, and I swore to honor it."
Xu Ruoying's eyes reddened slightly upon hearing this.
It felt like she was being sold off!
Zhou Ziying standing nearby, was also somewhat at a loss.
"Feng Lin, my daughter definitely can't suffer with you. If you want to marry my daughter, you'll have to marry into the family, and the future children will take the Xu surname," Xu Chuan said to Feng Lin.
"Impossible! I disagree!" Wang Qin roared, "My daughter belongs to Mr. Song, and marrying into the Song Family is the best outcome for her."
"May I say something, folks?"
Feng Lin stepped forward, looking at the people before him, "I think you've misunderstood. I'm not here to get married; I'm here to call off the wedding."
"What? Call off the wedding!"
Everyone present was so shocked they were at a loss for words.
I thought I heard it wrong.
Even the nearby security guards were a bit dumbfounded.
They understood the young lady's character.
Beautiful.
Capable.
And key to a disciplined life, she had never been in a relationship.
And he's giving up this chance?
To marry into the Xu Family and never worry about food and drink for life!
"I'm not interested in Miss Xu, and I don't want to marry her,"
Feng Lin, looking at Wang Qin's contemptuous expression, couldn't be bothered to be pleasant, "If there's nothing else I'm leaving, I've got quite a few engagements to call off."
With that, Feng Lin turned and left.
"Stop right there!"
Xu Chuan grabbed Feng Lin by the shoulder from behind, "Feng Lin, I agree to your marriage, but you have to marry into our family."
Seeing this, Wang Qin roared, "Xu Chuan! Our family cannot afford to offend the Song Family!"
"Enough! What era is this? Who I marry is none of your business!"
Xu Ruoying finally exploded, she grabbed Zhou Ziying's hand, and walked outside.
"It seems your daughter isn't willing either."
Feng Lin smiled happily, pushed away Xu Chuan's hand, and hummed a tune as he left.
...
After Feng Lin left the eastern district, he was on the roadside, looking down at the photo from time to time.
Which one should I choose?
He frowned slightly, sighed softly, "These tracking methods are so crude."
He looked towards the passage next to him and darted into it.
Behind him was a white BMW.
It was Zhou Ziying's car.
Zhou Ziying and Xu Ruoying were inside the vehicle.
"Did he discover us?"
Zhou Ziying looked at the small alley; there was no way to drive the car in.
"Forget about it, let's leave him be,"
The co-driver, Xu Ruoying, rubbed her temples vigorously.
Anyway, he had broken off the engagement, and she wouldn't have any contact with him.
She didn't want to know too much about Feng Lin, this stranger.
"Xiao Ying, look! It's Ke Ming."
At that moment, Zhou Ziying pointed to the gate of the nearby hotel and opened a small gap in the window.
In the distance, a feminine man in a suit was embracing a woman with dyed brown hair, coming out of the hotel.
Xu Ruoying's pupils contracted, her breathing became rapid, and she clenched her fists tightly.
"Mr. Song, you're really something,"
They stopped right by the car, and Xu Ruoying could hear every word they said clearly.
"Nonsense, make time to call your sisters over, we'll all have fun together," Ke Ming said with a smirk.
"They've all been complaining about you, you've forgotten them since you started with Xu Ruoying,"
The woman tapped Ke Ming's chest lightly, speaking coyly.
"I just like chasing prey, once I get what I want, I lose interest,"
Ke Ming smiled as he lifted the woman's chin, "I still like you guys who are skilled."
Hearing this, Xu Ruoying felt a tingling on her scalp, as if her head was about to explode.
She must be crazy!
To actually have feelings for this kind of man!
"Damn it!"
Zhou Ziying was about to get out of the car to teach him a lesson upon seeing this.
Xu Ruoying tightly grabbed Zhou Ziying's arm, trying hard to remain calm, she whispered, "Don't go, take me home."
"Xiao Ying..."
Zhou Ziying looked at Xu Ruoying, who had tears in her eyes.
In the end, she nodded in agreement.
...
Xu Ruoying got out of the car in front of her family's villa, gesturing to Zhou Ziying, "Yingying, you go back, I'll look for you when I'm free."
Zhou Ziying also managed a faint smile.
Actually, she knew that Xu Ruoying also had feelings for Ke Ming.
But she was very traditional and never showed her feelings before a relationship was confirmed.
Zhou Ziying thought, seeing Ke Ming for who he truly was, was a good thing.
If Xu Ruoying accidentally got deceived by him, it would be an irredeemable disaster.
Xu Ruoying walked into the villa, distracted.
Xu Chuan and Wang Qin were still discussing Feng Lin, both of them looking unhappy as if they had had a quarrel.
"I have an announcement to make!" Xu Ruoying calmly faced her parents, "I'm going to marry Feng Lin!"
