Lin Jie's future father-in-law was clueless as to what his daughter saw in Lin Jie. She was determined to marry him, despite the fact that neither he nor his wife found Lin Jie, a notorious troublemaker, appealing.
Their daughter was so adamant about marrying Lin Jie that they reluctantly agreed to the union. However, now that the wedding was postponed, the father felt a sense of relief. He certainly had no intention of using his connections to help Lin Jie.
"Dad, do you really not care about my life and death? I can't live without Lin Jie!" his daughter pleaded.
"Sweetheart, Lin Jie has assaulted someone. Can't you see reason? And do you even know who he assaulted? It was Su Shen's father-in-law," he retorted.
Lin Jie was audacious enough to cause such a ruckus and remain arrogant after the incident, probably because he had his fiancée, their daughter, as his trump card.
