“If I gave it to Xia Ye or Xia Ru, these two girls would still be filial to me, but not Xia Wan. She will only take revenge on me.
“Xia Wan doesn’t seem to be a bad person,” the village chief said helplessly.
“She knows how you’ve treated her parents. You’ve been biased all these years.”
The village chief was telling the truth, but Li Jin didn’t want to admit it. She had to say, “I really can’t find the token now. I can’t find Xia Wan, and the token is in her house. But if I tell Lu Lin that the token is in her hands, I’m afraid he will marry her.”
The village chief continued to persuade. “With Lu Lin’s status, if he doesn’t like Xia Ru and Xia Ye, he naturally won’t like Xia Wan either. This has nothing to do with whether she’s beautiful or not. He’s not on the same level as you.
“What you need to do now is to tell Lu Lin to stop pestering you, understand?”
The village head felt that he had made things clear enough. Li Jin pretended to agree with the village head on the surface, but she still had fantasies in her heart, thinking that she could take Lu Lin as her grandson-in-law.
“How about this? I’ll talk to Lu Lin later and ask him not to make such a big deal out of it. You should find Xia Wan and the others and return the token to them as soon as possible. Since Lu Lin is unwilling to agree to this marriage, don’t force it.”
Li Jin nodded in agreement.
The village head brought Li Jin out again. Playing the role of guarantor, he asked Lu Lin to give them another chance.
Lu Lin looked at him coldly. “You’re just a village chief. Why should I give you face? If I don’t see the token today, I’ll stay here and not leave. I’ll see who dares to chase me away.”
This angered the village chief. All these years, he had been respected in the village. When facing a rich young master like Lu Lin, he would have to consider his status initially and not go too far. Getting treated so disrespectfully provoked him immensely.
His face was cold. “Alright. Then we’ll keep you company.”
With that, the village head ordered all the strong men in the village to gather and surround the Xia family’s door as though forming a protective barrier.
Xia Wan saw this scene from the corner and felt that the village chief was sometimes too kind. Li Jin and the others might not be grateful.
Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, the phone of one of Lu Lin’s bodyguards rang. He looked at Lu Lin apologetically and said, “I’m sorry,
Young Master Lu. I have to take this call.”
Lu Lin ignored him and only frowned slightly.
The next moment, the bodyguard raised his voice. “Yes, I’m with Young Master
Lu now. Okay.”
The bodyguard handed the phone to Young Master Lu with a serious expression. “Young Master Lu, it’s a call from the old master. He wants you to answer it.”
The insolence on Young Master Lu’s face immediately disappeared, and his hand holding the phone was trembling.
“Grandpa, why are you looking for me?” Lu Lin said carefully.
A roar came from the other end of the phone. “Why am I looking for you? Don’t you know what you’ve done? What did you tell me before we left? You said you’d talk to the Xia family nicely, but now you’ve brought your men to destroy the Xia family’s house. Get your ass back home! NOW!”
Lu Lin was completely flustered after being scolded by the old man.
His confidence was all due to the Lu family. Now that the head of the Lu family was angry, all his confidence dissipated.
Lu Lin had no choice but to leave. After hanging up, he looked at Li Jin gloomily. “You guys are so capable. You actually managed to contact the old man. I’ve underestimated you. We’re not done!”
After Lu Lin left, Li Jin was dumbfounded. She came to the village chief and asked anxiously, “Chief, what does he mean? I didn’t contact his family. What’s going on?”
The village chief was also very confused and subconsciously replied, “This is your family’s business. If you don’t know, how would I know?
“Alright, since everything is fine now, I’ll take my leave.” The village chief dispersed the crowd and no longer bothered with the Xia family’s affairs.
After everyone left, Li Jin and the others gathered together. Looking at the house that looked like a whirlwind had hit it, the whole family was in a glo mood.
Xia Ye saw that Lu Lin had left and stopped making a scene. However, she ( not feel relaxed. Instead, she felt a sense of loss. It was as if her dream of b a wealthy family had been shattered.
“Auntie, did Xia Ru do something? If not, why would Lu Lin leave?” she ask Song Yan.
Song Yan was very unhappy when Xia Ye questioned her. No matter what, was Xia Ye’s elder.. What right did she have to question her?
