"Minmin, the fourth brother was just talking nonsense, don’t take it seriously..." Lin Wenjie explained while pointing at Chuxia to change the topic, "Minmin, this is my sister, you haven’t t her yet, isn’t she pretty? Looks like my little aunt, right? Oh, and that’s my brother-in-law, he’s a major captain, definitely young and promising. My first and second brothers are nothing compared to him."
Unable to stand his awkward attempt to defuse the tension, Chuxia had to interrupt him: "Third Brother, with introductions like that, are you planning to never let us co here again?"
"Hello, I’m Shao Min." Before Lin Wenjie could respond, Shao Min extended her hand to Chuxia, "Hello, I’m Lin Chuxia." Chuxia stood up, reached out to her, and said, "Sister Shao Min, let’s sit and talk."
"Can I just call you Chuxia?" Shao Min asked first.
"Of course."
"Chuxia, it’s our first eting, and normally I shouldn’t refuse your request. But, you heard what so people said earlier, a person needs dignity like a tree needs bark. If I were to stay, how could I face so people in the future?"
Sighing, Shao Min continued, "I heard that the Lin Family found a long-lost relative, and that you resemble our little aunt very much. I’ve always been curious, and if it weren’t for that rascal and my temperant, I would have co to find you to hang out."
"I estimate you’ll be done by four o’clock this afternoon. How about this, I’ll be waiting for you at the street corner at four o’clock, and you can co to my house to play, okay?"
Hearing this, Chuxia knew that she and Lin Wenxiu couldn’t break up. If she truly didn’t like Lin Wenxiu, she wouldn’t have invited her to her ho. Honestly, why would soone invite a stranger over on a first eting?
"Fourth Brother!" Chuxia looked at Lin Wenxiu, who was still in a daze, "Apologize to Sister Shao Min imdiately. Or are you planning to save your apology to make dumplings on New Year’s?"
"Pfft!" Chuxia’s words were so funny that Fang Jingyi couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Seeing everyone’s gaze turn to her, she blushed red and lowered her head to reduce her presence.
Fang Jingzi, who had long known Shao Min, stood up: "Shao Min, my sister didn’t an any harm, don’t take it to heart. Today is the day of my engagent with Wenjie, do us a favor and stay, will you?"
"Sister Jingzi, I’m sorry, I didn’t intentionally ignore you. I was just too upset..." Shao Min quickly apologized, "I ca here excitedly because today is your and Wenjie’s engagent, but so people don’t want to stay, what do you say to that..."
"You just said you ca because you were curious about my sister, but now you say it’s because of my third brother and sister-in-law’s engagent. Shao Min, you don’t like the way I talk, but what about you?" Lin Wenxiu looked steadily at Shao Min, "I know you’re accusing of not visiting you lately, but have you thought about why I didn’t?"
"I’ve told you before, I don’t like your fence-sitting behavior. I could let it go in other matters, but when it cos to feelings, to marriage, I can’t accept it."
"If you like , be with . If you like Huang Xinjie, be with Huang Xinjie. What do you an by being with both him and ?"
"Yes, my words earlier were a bit harsh, but Shao Min, I don’t want to lie to you, that really is how I feel. If our years of relationship can’t withstand a sudden intrusion from soone else, then why should we be together at all?"
"I’m really glad you ca today, honestly, if you truly have only in your heart, then happily stay and join my third brother and sister-in-law’s engagent banquet."
"If you leave, I can tell you clearly that we will never be together again. You know my character. Once I say sothing, I will follow through."
"The choice is yours, and no matter what decision you make, I won’t bla you. I also promise you this: I am a man who will only marry one woman and only be good to one woman for my entire life."
Any girl would feel embarrassed being forced by her boyfriend to make a statent in front of so many people, and Shao Min was no exception.
She looked at Lin Wenjie in disbelief, not understanding how he could be so unreasonable.
Fine, he didn’t co to find her, so she ca, but how did he treat her? By embarrassing her in front of everyone?
What does he an by saying she plays both sides between him and Huang Xinjie? Did she?
