CHAPTER 347

~Lin Residence~

Meanwhile, as Lin Zian spoke with Li Jing on the phone, he failed to realize that his sister-in-law and younger brother were standing at the door of the living room.

They did not speak to interrupt his conversation and waited instead for him to be done first before they announced their arrival.

It was Lin Jie who spoke up first as they walked into the living room.

They too had heard of the great union between Ye Cheng and Li Jing and wanted to come and ask their brother why he had not informed them.

Also, Lin Huliang was determined to praise her brother-in-law for not allowing the tragedy of the past to repeat itself again only for them to walk into this kind of conversation.

To say she was angry was a big understatement. Lin Hiulang felt like actually beating some sense into him.

Both of them stomped their way to him and came to stand in front of him. Lin Zian who was least expecting this kind of visit was shocked when he saw his brother and wife coming to him in anger.

"Lin Jie, Huilang, what brings you two here?" Lin Zian asked when they finally stopped at his front.

"You have the right to ask me that kind of question? To think that I was coming here to congratulate you and show my displeasure on not informing us about our favorite grandniece's wedding, only for me to hear you utter such nonsense from your mouth."

"Lin Jie!" Lin Zian's eyes darkened at the choice of words from his younger brother.

"What? I actually thought that our feud till now was the reason, not knowing that you were planning on marrying her out to Kim Fan and now you are ordering her to divorce Ye Cheng."

"And what is it to you?"

"Are you asking me that, Lin Zian? How can you say that to me? Have you forgotten how we lost Qinyang all because of your selfish thinking? Have you not yet learned your lesson till now?"

Lin Zian did not say anything. Rather he relaxed on his chair and let them talk as they like. It wasn't like it was the first time for him to have this kind of conversation with his brother.

In fact, that was what caused their feud in the first place.

"Lin Zian brother-in-law, I warned you. I warned you not to repeat the same mistakes you did in the past and you did it again. Look now, she went to get married without you. You just missed the happiest day of the two most treasured people in your life twice. Can't you see you are the cause of your loneliness?"

Those words had hit him where it hurt the most. Lin Zian averted his gaze in her direction. The rage in his eyes was like a burning inferno. He was really angry that she told him he caused his problem himself.

"How have I been selfish huh? All I have ever done has been for the betterment of this family but all I get from you two is your scorn and my brother wishing me ill that my beloved daughter would leave me and she did. Yet you still expect me to be glad and play being happy with you?"

Lin Jie shook his head at his brother's absurd way of thinking. "Can't you see your failure, Lin Zian? You are an accomplished man but the most important people in your life are staying away from you because you love wrongly. If you love them then you would have given them the choice of picking their husband and not choosing for them."

"We were chosen for as well in our time," Lin Zian defended.

"That was in those days and this is now. Youngsters do not allow their parents to choose for them."

"But can't you see what my daughter's choice did to her, Lin Jie? It tore her from me. Something bad had definitely happened to her for me not to be able to see her till date. That was what her so-called choice did to her so forgive me if I think that their choice is and would always be wrong and ours is right. I want the best for Li Jing more than anyone ever could and do not want any such thing to repeat itself and happen to her."

"At this rate, you would lose her too," Lin Huilang yelled at him. She could not understand his twisted thinking and wondered what had gotten into him. "Lin Zian, you are losing her already. When would the scales in your eyes fall off for you to see the danger you are about to cause?"

This wasn't the brother-in-law she had come to love and know. He was better than this. Way better than this before but now, just a fragment of who he was.

"If she listens to me, in time she would come to love Kim Fan. It happened in our time, it worked and it can happen again. See us now? Can't you see how well and happy our lives are? Our parents had the kind of foresight we never had as youngsters."

"You are not the one who is going to live the life for her, are you? And our joy and happiness were due to God and we put in the effort to love our spouses and ensure our lives are great."

"Then why would theirs be any different?"

"Because…"

"Because," Lin Jie interrupted his wife. "Because dear brother we were mostly not given the option of falling in love freely. They have that. You still do not understand it after losing Qinyang. One cannot tell the heart whom to love."

"Do you know whom your daughter loves? Do you know whom your grandchild's heart beats for? Do you really know anything about her?"

'I do know that with me she would no longer suffer all that she did because her mother was nowhere to be found and could not bring her daughter home to me. I would give her a life befitting of her status."

"Have you checked your grandchild well? Does she look like someone who needs such wealth to survive? She has the power to strive on her own through thick or thin. Yes, she may not have had the opportunity of such luxury while growing up but that has made her into the lady she is today, strong, daring, bold, intelligent, hardworking, and an excellent soul."

"After hearing this brother, do you still think she is incapable of living her life and picking a suitor?" Lin Jie asked him.

"Besides, wasn't Quinyang in the same boat as her. Yes, Qinyang didn't suffer but she excelled in everything and sailed above all tests given to her to see her potential as the heir and future CEO of the business? What happened to my daughter? With all her years of experience and all that it should be that she could even start another company of her own and it would do well. Tsk, take a look at her useless ex-boyfriend. I fear that she would make the same mistake again in marriage."

"With who? Ye Cheng? He is the most well-to-do richest bachelor in the country. His achievements alone should tell you that he is the perfect candidate."

"And with that comes the problems of life I do not want Li Jing to face. There would be gold-digging women after him and they would make her marriage annoying. What if he ends up having an affair? How would you save her then?"

"If you check well, Ye Cheng has been able to live up to expectations so far," Lin Huilang defended the poor boy.

"What expectation is that? Cause my daughter to have a scandal with him and all those other bitches to try and sabotage her? I take my chances, I would rather her be with Kim Fan than him."

"And what of Kim Fan? Or do you think he is a saint? Isn't he the one with a reputation for beautiful ladies? His fame spreads so far and wide, brother. All the girls in our country want him."

"As compared to Ye Cheng who the whole country wants, I say Kim Fan is bearable," Lin Zian poured out his own thoughts.

"Huh he has a reputation with the ladies for his activities on the bed but Ye Cheng only has fans and people crushing on him. Where have you heard of Ye Cheng and a scandal with ladies?" Lin Huilang asked.

"And the picture of him and his girlfriend?"

"That was his ex and she was just one girl!" Lin Huilang explained in frustration.

"Tsk, just because he hardly shows himself on news doesn't mean he was not busy plowing one young girl or girls somewhere. Besides, doesn't it look fishy that it was since Li Jing came into his life that he started to allow himself to appear on camera more? I think he is up to no good and just using her."

"Your logic is twisted, brother. So damn twisted," Lin Jie confirmed.

"Exactly darling."
