Chapter 80: Terrible!
He had already made everything crystal clear. He had solved every part she was anxious about and displeased with. He believed that he had already done a great job. However, the thing was that he was not going to allow Shui Lan to be punished by Gu Chaoyan. Therefore, what more did she want?
Lin Jiashu did not understand. As long as the things she wanted were not that much, he could approve of them. After all, she had saved his life.
Believing that he was right, he stood there confidently, waiting for Gu Chaoyan to speak.
Gu Chaoyan took up the cup next to her and poured it directly upon Lin Jiashu’s face without hesitation. The tea already cooled down because of the long speech made by Lin Jiashu.
Lin Jiashu jerked up after being splattered with tea. He touched his wet face. Then he turned to Gu Chaoyan with disbelief. He was the only Young Master of the Lin Family and he had always been in the dominating position. It was the first time someone poured water over him. Lin Jiashu could not stand that any more, but glared at Gu Chaoyan and snapped. “Are you sick?”
“I am not, you are! So I am clearing your head!”
“….”
“I told you clearly that my deal is to get the list of my mother’s dowry!”
“….”
“Lin Jiashu, I don’t like men like you. When you misunderstood me and thought that I wanted to marry you, you were displeased with that. If you were, why didn’t you tell me straightforwardly, so the misunderstanding could have been solved back then. Instead you did not dare to, you hid yourself away. You wanted your life, but you did not want to pay, so you put on a show with Shui Lan. What makes you different from Lu Jiming? I will never like any man like you.”
Gu Chaoyan shook her head. She did not want to talk with him any more, and went to pack up.
Standing there on the spot motionlessly, Lin Jiashu kept shaking his head. “No, that can’t be true.”
He intended to explain to Gu Chaoyan, but he could not utter a thing. Then he stumbled away.
Back at Chuyun Pavilion.
Mrs. Lin had just walked out of the room to see what happened to Lin Jiashu who had been away for too long. She was not worried, but she needed to check on him.
Then she ran into the man who stumbled back.
When she saw him, Mrs. Lin burst out with a scream. “What happened to you, Jiashu, what made you look like this?”
He had tea leaves on his head and his blouse was wet too.
Who in the Lin Mansion dared to treat Jiashu in this way?
Mrs. Lin suddenly thought of Gu Chaoyan, and got displeased inwardly, but soon she felt lucky that Jiashu did not have to marry her. She was already treating Jiashu in this way, who knew what would happen when they were married.
Lin Jiashu kept shaking his head, saying that he was not that kind of man.
It took a long while before he realized that it was his mother standing right in front of him. So he asked involuntarily, “Mom, am I a very bad person?”
Mrs. Lin’s face sank. “Jiashu, did Gu Chaoyan say that you are?”
Lin Jiashu felt wronged… He nodded.
“She says that she won’t like a man like me. Am I so terrible?” Lin Jiashu asked.
“Jiashu, it is she who doesn’t deserve you. You are an excellent man. You might have been sick during the past few years, but you have done a lot of reading and gained much knowledge. We are not the imperial business family any more, but we have abundant wealth. Now you are cured, I believe that there are tons of misses who would like to marry you here in the capital.”
“….”
“That girl has no appearance and she has been divorced too. She is never going to marry anyone excellent in her life.” Mrs. Lin said with a matter-of-fact tone.
