Chapter 194 : 189: Shame
Yan Lee was torn.
On the surface, she didn't want to come.
But deep down, she was willing.
Encouraged by some of her girlfriends, after leaving the wedding, she somehow ended up at her aunt's house.
As her girlfriends had suggested, what if Lin Yun had indeed taken a liking to her?
If she missed a chance at such a great boyfriend, she wouldn't meet another in her lifetime.
People always tended to believe what they wanted to believe.
Deep down, she kept telling herself that perhaps Lin Yun had really liked her all along?
Otherwise, why did Lin Yun order heaps of food after they had made their orders during their meal?
Could it be that Lin Yun had orchestrated his previous encounters with her grandfather?
Perhaps, unknown to her, Lin Yun had seen her, liked her and set all this up?
Including the blind date? And the several interactions with her grandfather?
It should have been easy for a person of his stature to orchestrate all this, right?
Her mind was filled with scenes from romantic novels and dramas.
Why would Lin Yun, a man of such high status, be willing to interact so much with a common old man?
"Yanyan, do you know Lin Yun's real identity?" After catching up with Yan Lee, Lin Minghui quickly addressed the key point.
"Uncle, you know too?" Hearing Lin Minghui's question, Yan Lee felt slightly awkward for some reason, but then she asked out of curiosity.
"Of course, with all of Lin Yun's luxury cars and bodyguards visiting our village, I looked it up. All those cars, each of them is worth more than a million and some even several million, there is even one that's worth over ten million. Just those cars are worth seventy to eighty million. And those bodyguards, didn't you see how fearsome they are?
They are clearly not ordinary bodyguards..." Lin Minghui nodded repeatedly, unable to help expressing his admiration.
Even now, just thinking about the spectacle made him awe-struck.
If he could have such grandeur in this lifetime, it would be worth it even if he died.
"I never expected..." Yan Lee said bitterly.
Similarly, just thinking that she had gone on a blind date with such an influential figure, how she had ignored him, despised him, and even said so many hurtful words, she wished she could just bang her head against the wall and die.
"Yanyan, you said before that Lin Yun liked you and was using tactics to pursue you, right?" Lin Minghui hurriedly asked.
"Maybe I was overthinking it. And besides, two days ago, didn't auntie tell me that he already has a girlfriend?" Yan Lee shook her head.
"You child! Normally, such words should be taken with a grain of salt! Just because you're not interested in him, does it mean he can't save face? I think, nine times out of ten, there's something off. Otherwise, why would he even go on a date with you? You also said that during the meal, he took the initiative to order a lot of dishes.
If he wasn't interested in you, he probably wouldn't have done that, right?" Lin Minghui anxiously said.
People always tend to believe what they want to believe and at the moment, Lin Minghui was also thinking about some things he wanted to believe.
He didn't want Yan Lee to give up. Otherwise, how could he benefit?
With Lin Yun's current condition, he absolutely doesn't have to worry about finding a girlfriend, not to mention how popular Lin Yun is outside, just considering their family, many matchmakers and girls might be setting their sights on him. If they don't act promptly, he might be snatched away by others.
"The day before yesterday, I saw him with my grandfather..." Then, Yan Lee mentioned the incident when she saw her grandfather and Lin Yun pulling vegetables together on the road.
At this time, she also needed someone to boost her morale.
"Stop saying that, he must be into you! Otherwise, why would he, with such a high status and position, bother to pull vegetables with a cart when he's full, give your grandfather three thousand yuan and chat with him for so long?" Hearing Yan Lee's narration, Lin Minghui slapped his thigh and said excitedly.
"Let's go! Let's go to their house now!" Saying this, Lin Minghui intended to take Yan Lee to Lin Yun's house.
Of course, before they left, he didn't forget to call Yuer Lee.
Leaving aside whether Lin Yun was interested in Yan Lee or not, both he and Yan Lee had said unkind words about Lin Yun's family. At this time, it was safer to bring along Yuer Lee, who had a good relationship with Lin Yun's family.
"If you two want to go, go by yourselves!" Yuer Lee said angrily.
She had heard Yan Lee and her husband's conversation. Yan Lee's grandfather was her father, and she was also shocked to hear that Lin Yun had given her father three thousand yuan. However, this made her feel even more ashamed. The people in Lin Yun's family were kind, and Lin Yun's mother was her good friend.
But her niece and her husband had such a mercenary attitude towards them that she felt embarrassed to face them.
"Yuer, this is related to your niece's happiness, are you that unreasonable?" Lin Minghui frowned.
He was Yuer Lee's husband and they had been together for many years. He knew exactly what he should say to make sense to her.
"I'm being unreasonable?" Hearing Lin Minghui's words, Yuer Lee almost laughed in anger.
You two are the ones being unreasonably mercenary, and I am the one being unreasonable?
"Fine, if you want to lose face, then I'll accompany you to do so!" After a pause, Yuer Lee made up her mind.
...
The Lin household.
Some people had already arrived.
Neighbors, relatives, matchmakers...
Some people apologized to Lin's parents, some people built relationships with Lin's parents, some people played matchmaker for Lin Yun.
"Oh! Isn't that Minghui and Yuer? You're here with your niece? You aren't here to matchmake for your niece, are you?" spotting Lin Minghui and the others, a quick-eyed matchmaker asked loudly.
Meanwhile, the matchmaker gave another matchmaker a significant look.
The Lin family's property wasn't large, and when many people had nothing to do, they liked to gossip.
Plus, since Lin Minghui's character was questionable, he had not held back the incident of Yan Lee's blind date with Lin Yun a few days ago, but rather had treated it as a talking point.
"Impossible right? Didn't Minghui say two days ago that Lin Yun was a toad trying to eat swan meat, and that his high-status niece looked down on Lin Yun? How could it be possible that they came to propose a match for their niece? Minghui's niece is a college graduate with high standards!" Another matchmaker immediately understood and said with laughter.
Hearing the back-and-forth between these two matchmakers, Yan Lee's pretty face immediately turned red. She wished the ground would open up so she could hide.
This was truly a sharp slap in the face.
If it weren't for the fact that Lin Yun's worth was so astronomical, she really wanted to turn around and leave.
At this moment, she suddenly felt annoyed at her uncle. How could this grown man have such a loose tongue? Why did he spread everything around?
Although Lin Minghui had a thick skin, his face was also burning red at this moment.
At this moment, he somewhat regretted that he had talked too much in the past. This time, he truly lost a lot of face.
Seeing this, Yuer Lee also felt extremely awkward.
"Yuer is here? Come, come, come in and sit!" Fortunately, at this time, Lin Yun's mother came to the rescue. She quickly went to greet the three of them warmly.
Lin Yun's mother still valued her friend Yuer Lee.
Especially just now, when Yuer Lee stood out to speak for them despite the risk of offending many people and even against her husband's opposition, Lin Yun's mother was very grateful.
