"Don't worry about why Lin Ruxian agreed. I'm asking you, what do you mean by this?" Sister Wang asked impatiently.
Li Hong replied in a fluster, "How would I know? This came out of nowhere..."
"Do you think a fake marriage is acceptable?" Sister Wang asked thoughtfully.
Li Hong furrowed his brows and lowered his head, contemplating whether he should agree to this matter.
To be fair, he did have a slight fondness for Lin Ruxian. While it wasn't enough to develop into romantic feelings, he certainly wouldn't want to see her fall without doing something to help. If he could lend her a hand within his means, Li Hong would be more than willing.
"Alright, I have no issues on my end. You can handle this, Sister Wang, as long as it doesn't affect Yuchen; I have no objections," Li Hong quietly responded.
Putting on an act with Lin Ruxian was not a problem for him. However, he was unwilling to let it impact Yuchen; that was his bottom line.
Sister Wang smiled and said, "Don't worry, your daughter won't be affected."
Though she said this, Sister Wang was quite shaken inside. She hadn't expected that at such a time, Li Hong's first concern would not be about himself but rather the impact on his daughter.
This could get complicated, Sister Wang knew. In her plan, Yuchen was supposed to play the role of Lin Ruxian and Li Hong's daughter. If it didn't affect Yuchen, that would be a joke.
However, even though Sister Wang was aware of this issue, she wouldn't be foolish enough to bring it up. Worst case scenario, she could just apologize to Li Hong later; by then, would he really hold it against her?
Thinking of all this made Sister Wang readily agree to the plan.
After discussing the plan with Li Hong, Sister Wang didn't linger any longer. She stood up to bid farewell and left in a hurry with a smile.
Li Hong sat in his chair and couldn't help but shake his head; Sister Wang's mysterious smile gave him an ominous feeling. Was he being set up? A sense of unease stirred within him.
But since he had already agreed, even if he felt uneasy inside, it wouldn't be right to stop Sister Wang now and backtrack on their agreement.
...
In her apartment in the capital city, after hearing Sister Wang's description of her visit, Lin Ruxian incredulously exclaimed, "Sister Wang, this... this is too much! Isn't this just deceiving him?"
"Are you stupid? He clearly has no interest in you. If I don't use some tricks, how can you get what you want?" Sister Wang scolded.
This girl really takes advantage and then acts innocent!
Feeling embarrassed by Sister Wang's reprimand, Lin Ruxian replied, "But don't you think this is too fast? We haven't even dated yet! He hasn't proposed to me, so getting married like this seems a bit hasty, doesn't it?"
"Stop dreaming those unrealistic princess dreams. You're the one chasing after a man, not waiting for him to chase you!"
Sister Wang, with the demeanor of someone who had been through it all, advised, "Once you've decided on a man, you have to do everything possible to keep him. If you want to get the marriage certificate with him, are you afraid he'll run away?"
"That's true!" Lin Ruxian nodded in agreement.
Seeing Lin Ruxian turn into a lovesick fool, Sister Wang felt a headache coming on. "Alright, enough of this nonsense in front of me. Just take Li Hong to the civil affairs bureau to get the certificate. The rest is up to me."
"Aren't we having a wedding?" Lin Ruxian asked in surprise.
Sister Wang rolled her eyes at Lin Ruxian's foolishness and replied impatiently, "Are you silly? The arrangement I made for you is a secret marriage. If you have a wedding, won't that expose everything?"
"Oh? No wedding..." Upon hearing there would be no wedding, Lin Ruxian felt utterly disappointed.
As a normal woman, she also had dreams of wearing a wedding dress. Hearing that her dream was shattered made her heart ache.
Sister Wang understood what Lin Ruxian was feeling and gently comforted her, "Alright, just focus on securing Li Hong first. You can always have the wedding and wear the dress later."
"You're right! I need to secure him first and then take my time with everything else!" Lin Ruxian clenched her fist fiercely.
Sister Wang covered her forehead and stood up. She said to Lin Ruxian, "Okay then, just remember to take Li Hong with you to get the certificate. By the way, even though this is your own idea, I think it's best if you inform your parents."
After giving her advice, Sister Wang shook her head and sighed as she left the room.
Once Sister Wang was gone, Lin Ruxian picked up her phone and stared at her father's number, feeling a bit guilty.
Would Dad find out about this and get so angry that it might kill him?
And what about Mom? With her heart condition, would she be able to handle this news?
Lin Ruxian hesitated, unable to dial that familiar number.
Just as she was wavering, her phone suddenly rang.
It turned out that while she hadn’t made the call, her father had sensed something and called her instead. If Lin Ruxian had previously doubted the notion of a father-daughter connection, she now believed it without a doubt.
“Hello, Dad.” She answered the call weakly.
On the other end, Lin Zhengfeng sounded impatient. “Daughter, tell me honestly, what is your relationship with that guy named Li? I just logged onto Weibo and saw you two flirting!”
Lin Zhengfeng sternly warned, “Let me make this clear: I can accept other men, but not him. He’s older than you and has a child. A man like that is definitely unreliable. He may have money, but who knows how unfaithful he could be? You mustn’t…”
“Dad, is it normal for a father-in-law to belittle his own son-in-law like this? Please don’t say such things; it’s embarrassing if someone hears!” Lin Ruxian protested.
Lin Zhengfeng ignored her. “Why shouldn’t I? Just because he’s wealthy and powerful doesn’t mean he can silence me! Even if he’s my son-in-law…”
Suddenly, Lin Zhengfeng paused mid-sentence, incredulous. “Son-in-law??? What do you mean? He’s my son-in-law?”
“Yes! Aren’t you happy, Dad?” Lin Ruxian replied sweetly.
Unfortunately, Lin Zhengfeng couldn’t share in his daughter’s joy at that moment; he was stunned into silence as if struck by lightning.
Son-in-law?
That guy is my son-in-law now?
At that moment, Lin Zhengfeng felt an overwhelming sense of humiliation; he felt deceived by his once obedient daughter!
When he first met her at the airport, he felt something was off between them; his daughter was just a partner in collaboration!
Ha, a partner in collaboration? Now that he thought about it, his husband could also be considered a partner, right?
Lin Zhengfeng trembled with anger, panting heavily while holding his phone.
He had now realized a terrifying fact: his daughter had learned to deceive him!
If the husband could be a partner, what about the daughter?
Thinking back to when Li Hong was holding Yuchen, Lin Zhengfeng felt an impulse to strangle his own daughter.
So, she had a child with some wild man outside and kept it from him, the grandfather?
Is there any reason for this?
