She understood the weight of Jiang Chen's words. Although the Shi family was powerful, they would certainly give face to Jiang Chen.
"Thank you, Jiang Chen," Lin Bingbing said gratefully.
"Actually, I should be thanking you. Over the past two years while I was away, you went to keep my mom company every New Year. She has a great impression of you," Jiang Chen replied with a smile.
Jiang Chen had guessed that Lin Bingbing had been spending New Year’s with his family based on what Liu Sisi had told him, and later confirmed it with his mother. His mother no longer worried about her son’s marriage since there were so many beautiful women around him, but her feelings for Lin Bingbing were different; after all, Lin Bingbing had spent three consecutive New Years with her.
Hearing Jiang Chen mention this, Lin Bingbing's cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
"I... I just don’t really want to spend New Year at home. I’m happier accompanying your mom," Lin Bingbing said softly.
Jiang Chen smiled and said nothing more.
The two arrived at a restaurant, chatting as they ate. Lin Bingbing reminisced about their first meeting, which made Jiang Chen smile.
After finishing their meal, Lin Bingbing invited Jiang Chen to take a stroll by the seaside. Although it was winter, the weather was pleasant and not too cold.
To prevent her family from interrupting their "date" with phone calls, Lin Bingbing turned off her phone.
Lin Bingbing's parents and siblings grew anxious when they noticed she hadn’t returned by four in the afternoon and couldn’t reach her by phone. Their anxiety was futile; with Lin Bingbing's phone off in the vast Yulu City, there was no way for them to find her.
"This girl, Bingbing, is so thoughtless. If she doesn’t show up tonight, it will be seen as disrespecting the Shi family. They will definitely be furious and won’t let our family off easily," Mother Lin said anxiously, like an ant on a hot pan.
"I believe Bingbing knows what’s important. Offending the Shi family will have dire consequences; she should understand that. Let’s wait a bit longer—if she returns before six, there might still be a chance," Lin Bingbing's father said.
"The banquet starts at seven-thirty. The Shi family has invited so many prominent figures tonight; if Bingbing doesn’t show up, it will be a huge problem. I shouldn’t have let her go out with that guy," Mother Lin lamented regretfully.
While Lin Bingbing's family was in a state of panic, she remained unconcerned; with Jiang Chen by her side, she felt particularly secure.
Jiang Chen checked the time and suddenly spoke up: "Let’s go visit the Shi family."
"Huh? Why go to the Shi family? I... I don’t want to go," Lin Bingbing replied nervously. She felt some trepidation towards the Shi family, knowing they were an unfathomable clan. Although Jiang Chen was powerful, there would be many people around tonight; if he lost his temper and resorted to violence, that was not something Lin Bingbing wanted to witness.
For her, the best course of action was to avoid them altogether.
"Tell that Shi Family Second Young Master to take back his betrothal gifts; he is not worthy of you," Jiang Chen stated firmly.
"Okay then," Lin Bingbing said, staring at Jiang Chen in surprise and feeling touched. She nodded earnestly. "By the way, Jiang Chen, you promised me... please don’t kill anyone."
"Don’t worry; I won’t kill anyone tonight," Jiang Chen replied with a smile. After all, his relationship with the Shi family was manageable; he wouldn’t make things too difficult for them—he just needed that Shi Family Second Young Master to stop pursuing Lin Bingbing.
Seeing Jiang Chen agree, Lin Bingbing let out a sigh of relief.
"Well, I'll go change into a dress, but I have scars on my body. If I wear an evening gown, it won't be able to hide them, and that would look really bad," Lin Bingbing said.
