May You Have a Safe Life
Chapter 9
Along the way, Lin Ruomeng seemed to be absent-minded. Lin Chi-kai noticed and stopped in his tracks: "What's wrong?
Are you … dissatisfied with your home? "
"Yes."
"No, no."
Lin Ruomeng waved her hand and forced a smile: "My home is very good. It's very big, very exquisite, and very warm. I'm very happy to be able to live here."
"Yes."
"Then why do you look like you're crying?
Is there something you're unhappy about?
Ruomeng, even though we haven't known each other for long, or maybe you think that I'm not as reliable as the people outside.
But Ruomeng, Father and I really want to make up for the long gap between us. Can you give us this opportunity to love you properly in the future? "
Lin Chi-kai said seriously.
"I don't think so … it's just …" Lin Ruomeng made up her mind and asked: "Brother, I heard you guys talking about Xu Xingcheng and Hong Lan's engagement … what's going on?"
"Yes."
Lin Chi-kai?
What?
He vaguely remembered that Lin Ruomeng had barged into the banquet and fallen into the pool not long ago?
At that time, she had gone to find Xu Xingcheng …
What was going on with Xu Xingcheng?
It wasn't enough that he had Hong Lan, and now he wanted to mess with his sister?
Lin Chi-kai's heart was filled with resentment.
For the first time, this big brother who did his best to take care of others was dissatisfied with his brother.
If Hong Lan wasn't his sister, Young Master Lin wouldn't have cared about Xu Xingcheng's private life. As long as he treated Hong Lan well enough and respected her enough and gave her a good life, then no matter how he messed around outside, it wouldn't affect the family.
Which man in this era didn't have a confidante?
But when it came to his sister, this man immediately had double standards.
In just a few seconds, Lin Chi-kai's mind had already turned seven or eight thoughts, and then he pretended to say casually: "Xingcheng and Lan Lan's family already had a verbal engagement, but Xingcheng went to study in France before, so this matter was put on hold. Now that he's back, the two families will probably hold an engagement ceremony soon.
"Yes."
Lin Ruomeng fell silent.
There was a bitter taste in her mouth, and she couldn't help but feel wronged.
At first, she was prejudiced against Xu Xingcheng because he was the son of the Police station chief. But later, she fell in love with his courage to fight against the world and his struggle for his destiny. She still remembered that he told her that he wanted to be a doctor and treat the injustice of the Dong River. But the reality was so laughable. He already had a fiancée, a person he wanted to spend the rest of his life with, but he just had to provoke her …
Was it really like what her Brother Tianci had said, that these rich people were just playing with their feelings?
She was a performer, the lowest of the low. Should she bear such a fate?
If she hadn't been recognized by the Lin family, how much longer would she have been kept in the dark …
The young man who pulled the rickshaw in the rainy night and ran all the way to send her and her father to the hospital slowly died in her heart.
Before the flower of her love had bloomed, it had withered in bitterness.
"Ruo Meng?
Lin Chi-kai asked her with concern, "What's wrong?
Is there something going on … "
"It's okay, brother. Tell me about my mother.
"Lin Ruo Meng pulled herself together and said with a smile.
She wasn't a girl who easily showed her weakness. Even if the reality was so unfair, she would rather cut off her love with her own hands than be a lowly person and bend her body to others.
Lin Chi-kai smiled slightly and hid the smugness in his smile. Then, he told her everything that had happened in the Lin House …
Compared to the Lin House's warmth and peace, the Hong House was much more lively.
Hung Cheng-pao angrily went home. Along the way, he was like a hot knife through butter. His steps were like that of a teenager, and his speed was like that of a sprinting athlete.
His white hair was about to stand on end from anger.
He didn't think that his daughter, Hong Lan, would make him lose so much face at the banquet.
Because of Hong Lan's kick, the marriage between the two families could only be temporarily postponed.
Hong Lan, who was wearing a dark red one-piece dress and a small cloak, followed him step by step. She said coquettishly, "Dad, calm down. I've already apologized to you. Don't be angry with me.
"
Hung Cheng-pao said with a straight face, "You caused trouble for me in front of so many people. Where do you want me to put my face?
"
He felt helpless in his heart. Xu Xingcheng was such a good child. He was highly educated and upright. Moreover, he was the son of the Chief of the Police station. His future was bright. He worked so hard to find this marriage for his daughter. Wasn't it for her own good?
Now that Hong Lan had directly stepped on Xu Xingcheng's foot at the banquet, everyone saw it as a joke. He really didn't have the face to talk about marriage with the XU Family.
This daughter was spoiled rotten by him. Unfortunately, he only had this one daughter.
Hong Lan was still Hong Lan. The eldest daughter of the Hong Family had never bowed her head to anyone. Seeing that her father didn't buy it, she immediately threw a tantrum, "Didn't I already apologize to you?
You're still not letting it go?
"
Hung Cheng-pao looked at his daughter's delicate face. He really couldn't say anything harsh to her. He could only helplessly look away.
He only had this one daughter in his life. He had spoiled her since she was young. When did he bear to say a harsh word to her?
Even now, she had caused such a big trouble. Looking at her, Hung Cheng-pao still couldn't bear to teach her a lesson.
"You clearly know that I don't like Xu Xingcheng. He doesn't like me either. Why do you still want me to go to him?
There are so many people who want to marry your daughter! "
Hong Lan complained unhappily. She really didn't have any good feelings towards that Xu Xingcheng. However, the adults of the two families were always trying to matchmake the two of them.
"There are so many people who want to marry my daughter. However, it's really hard to find someone who's worthy of my daughter."
Hung Cheng-pao still felt that the XU Family wasn't just righteous. They were also one of the three major families in the Dong River. That child Xu Xingcheng was also good-looking. He was the best match for his precious daughter.
In the future, when Hong Lan married into the family, she could only enjoy life.
"Who said that?
I think there's one who's quite suitable. "
Hong Lan thought of the person she liked. Her face couldn't help but show some signs of spring.
"Who is it?"
Hung Cheng-pao asked curiously.
"If you don't matchmake me and Xu Xingcheng, I'll tell you."
Hong Lan kept him in suspense.
"That won't do."
Hung Cheng-pao directly refused.
The three major families in the Dong River only had a few children. The Lin family didn't even have a son. Even if Hong Lan liked him, he wouldn't allow the two of them to be together.
If they weren't from the three major families in the Dong River, Hung Cheng-pao didn't think that they could give Hong Lan happiness.
"I still think Xu Xingcheng is better."
Hung Cheng-pao didn't change his mind.
"You …" Hong Lan glared at her father and angrily returned to her room.
Luo Fusheng walked in with a tray of food in his hand. "Do you want to eat something?"
"No."
"I'm not eating."
Hong Lan was so angry that she even lost her usual gentleness towards Luo Fusheng.
"Come, Godfather, eat something."
Luo Fusheng put the sugar water and desserts in front of Hung Cheng-pao.
"Look at this child."
Hung Cheng-pao complained helplessly. "I don't even know who spoiled her."
"Alright."
"Isn't that because you spoiled her?"
Luo Fusheng joked.
"Yeah, Lan Lan is still angry with me because of Xingcheng."
"Alright."
Luo Fusheng didn't want to comment too much on the father-daughter relationship, especially since the person Hong Lan liked was him and Xu Xingcheng was his brother … So he changed the topic. "Godfather, something happened in the Lin family today … Can you guess what it is?"
"Alright."
"What's the matter? Just say it."
Hung Cheng-pao shook his head. "The Lin family's matter … What can happen to the Lin family?"
Mount Lindau came alone today and didn't give me a good look during the entire banquet.
But speaking of which, why didn't Lin Chi-kai come tonight?
He's your brother, did something happen to him? "
"No."
"No, it's a happy occasion.
Ruomeng, Ruomeng came home. "
Luo Fusheng smiled and said, "Brother Lin is probably at home with Ruomeng."
"No."
"What?
Lin Ruomeng came back?
Then … did she say who killed Anne Cheyenne? "
Hung Cheng-pao's eyes widened.
"No …" Luo Fusheng sighed. "Ruomeng, she … lost her memory."
"No."
"This matter made us and the Lin family enemies. I was hoping that Lin Ruomeng could come back and solve the problem."
Hung Cheng-pao shook his head. "It seems that this matter still can't be solved."
"No."
"Godfather, what happened back then?"
Luo Fusheng asked.
Hung Cheng-pao looked at him deeply, as if looking through him at the brother who had followed him through fire and water, but died at the prime of his life …
If that matter didn't happen, Luo Fusheng wouldn't have lost his father.
Luo Fusheng looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Okay, let's not talk about what happened back then anymore … Now that Lin Ruomeng has come home safely, I can finally get rid of one of my worries."
Hung Cheng-pao was deep in thought. "But she's back … I don't know how it will affect the current situation in the Dong River."
"Alright."
"Ruomeng is a good girl."
Luo Fusheng couldn't help but smile when he thought of Lin Ruomeng.
"Fusheng, no matter how good a girl is, she's still a member of the Lin family."
Hung Cheng-pao looked at him and said this sentence with a hint of warning.
Luo Fusheng lowered his head and fell silent. When he looked up again, he had a smile on his face. "I understand, godfather."
"Alright."
"But if the Lin family's daughter is found back, the Lin family … I hope they won't hate us to the core like before …"
Hong Zhengbao was a little dispirited. If it weren't for the fact that the Lin family had been targeting the Hong family, and that he was getting old, the Hong Gang would've gradually declined even though it seemed to be at its peak. Luo Fusheng had risked his life to protect several places, and now Xinglong Hall was eyeing them covetously.
How could he not know that Hong Lan didn't like Xu Xingcheng?
But other than the XU Family, who else could protect his precious daughter?
The three big families of the Dong River seemed to be harmonious, but the hidden turbulence was no less than the other families.
