Guo Junyu’s expression was fluctuating between dark and bright, but he did not argue back. After all, Lin Jiayao was still the eldest daughter of the Lin family, and he himself had been in the wrong first…
Yet his massive pride had already given rise to a dark side within his heart—not only toward Xiao Yufan but toward the entire Lin family. When had he ever endured such humiliation before?
“Mister Mo, let’s go!”
With a somewhat icy expression, Guo Junyu stood up, cast a glance at Xiao Yufan, and then turned and walked out. In that gaze, Xiao Yufan subtly sensed a hint of threat.
“Cough, cough!” Lin Jiayao lightly coughed, her alluring lips curving into a beautiful smile. If getting injured could help her shake off the trouble from the Guo family, she should feel relieved.
“Xiao Yao, are you alright?”
Jiayao’s mother came to her side, crouching down with a look full of concern in her eyes. Jiayao’s cold heart gradually softened—her parents indeed cared about her.
“Mom, I’m fine, I just feel a bit tightness in my chest.”
Forcing a faint smile, Jiayao slightly pulled at her injured body, her delicate eyebrows knitting slightly, her delicate nose wrinkling a bit. Although Guo Junyu had pulled back his strength at the last moment, the residual force was still more than she could endure.
“How can you be fine? Let me check!”
Lin Zheng approached, looking at his injured granddaughter with a worried expression. How could he be a man without feelings? His affection for Jiayao was no less than anyone else’s.
Looking at her grandfather’s slightly aged profile, Jiayao softened a bit inside, yet there remained an invisible barrier in her heart…
“It’s just some internal injuries; I should be fine after a few days of rest.”
After inspecting her injuries, Lin Zheng smiled and said. Where had all the majesty of the Lin family head gone, replaced by such an amiable smile? Xiao Yufan hesitated slightly—how come this old man seemed like a man with two faces?
“You should be okay too, right…?”
As Xiao Yufan was lost in thought, the old man approached him, his eyes carrying a hint of admiration. If the marriage alliance between the Lin and Guo families didn’t work out, this young man would actually be quite suitable for Jiayao.
Thinking about Xiao Yufan’s connections with those two elders, Lin Zheng inwardly felt relieved. Although Guo Junyu was a promising young man, he hadn’t taken over the Lin family yet, and it was still uncertain whether he would become the family head in the future…
But this young man was different. Just being the grandson of Master Situ alone made him a target for many to court. As for his Lin family, they practically needed to do nothing to gain the Situ family’s favor.
“I’m fine!”
Regardless, he didn’t hold any particular fondness for the old man. If not for the respect due to an elder, Xiao Yufan wouldn’t even bother replying. However, seeing the old man’s genuine concern just now, his displeasure had somewhat eased.
“If you’re both fine, then perhaps we should talk about Xiao Yao’s matter now?”
“What does the old man Lin want to say now?” Xiao Yufan frowned, wondering to himself. Could it be that the old man still disagreed with their relationship? After all, the people from the Guo family had already left.
“You should know that Xiao Yao is our Lin family’s little princess. Are you planning to just casually take my granddaughter away without any formal approach…?”
Old man Lin pretended to be very angry. This young fellow really annoyed him—after all, wasn’t he the grandfather of his girl? Why did he always feel like they were enemies?
Upon hearing the old man’s words, Xiao Yufan paused involuntarily. Why did he suddenly feel that the old man from the Lin family had changed so drastically…
