Chapter 249 - 249: Who Am I? I’m Your Father
“Miss, why do you have to make your words sound so unpleasant?” Lu Siyu responded to Lin Gantang’s question. “I’m waiting; waiting for my destiny to return to me. Compared to Miss Jiang, I’m more suitable to stand by Zhaonan’s side, isn’t that right?”
Lu Siyu did not yield an inch. She continued to interrogate, “As far as I know, Miss Jiang was born to an ordinary family, and her studies are also very ordinary. Now that I’ve seen her today, she has a soft personality. She’s just so-so. I’m different from you. Compared to me, you’re just a home-cooked side dish.”
She hit Jiang Tongtong where it hurt the most.
Jiang Tongtong was indeed born to an ordinary family. Back then, before she agreed to be with Lin Zhaonan, she had rejected him because of the difference in status. It was Lin Zhaonan’s persistence and Mr. Lin’s tolerance that made her let go of her last doubts.
It would be a lie to say that she didn’t care when it was brought up again that day.
Jiang Tongtong wanted to retort but had no place to start, because Lu Siyu was right. Her personality was soft, and she had never won against others in an argument since she was young.
Seeing her silence, Lu Siyu could not help but reveal a complacent expression.
Lin Gantang turned the recording pen in her hand under the table and put it back into her pocket.
She sized up Lu Siyu again.
The fact that Lu Siyu was able to contact Lin Zhaonan as someone sent by a partner company proved that she had enough talent, and her being adorned with luxury brands showed that she had sufficient financial strength.
Lin Gantang felt that it was quite nauseating to like a married man despite having excellent qualifications.
“Why are you still sitting? Tongtong. Aren’t you angry listening to this?” Lin Gantang chuckled.
She made Jiang Tongtong pick up the lemon water on the table, and pressed her hand on the back of Jiang Tongtong’s hand to prevent her from retreating. She grabbed the cup and abruptly splashed it at Lu Siyu’s face!
Lu Siyu let out a sharp cry of alarm. She got up and frantically wiped the water that had been splashed on her face, and slapped away the lemon slices that had stuck to her.
“You’re crazy! Do you know who I am? Jiang Tongtong, just wait for me to tell Lin Zhaonan. If it weren’t for your pregnancy, I wouldn’t have wasted my breath on you!” Lv Si said in a harsh tone.
“So you didn’t blindly know that Lin Zhaonan is married and has a child? Then do you know who I am?” Lin Gantang crossed her arms and sneered. “Go ahead and complain to Lin Zhaonan. Let’s see who Lin Zhaonan will help.”
Lin Gantang’s restrained aura was unleashed. Her gaze was cold and her scrutiny made the other party’s heart tighten. Even sitting, her aura was not inferior to the standing Lu Siyu’s at all.
Lu Siyu finally realized that she had misjudged. It turned out that the truly powerful person was the woman who had been quiet for a long time.
“Lin Zhaonan has already made his own decision on who is suitable to stand beside him. He doesn’t need you to be so high and mighty, pointing fingers. Kneel down in front of Jiang Tongtong,” Lin Gantang raised her chin.
“Why should I kneel to her?” Lu Siyu spat.
“Didn’t you want to become a concubine? First kowtow in front of the wife and serve tea. Don’t you know the rules?” Lin Gantang scoffed. “This is such a joyous occasion. The Lin family will follow the rules and inform your parents. We will let your neighbors know that you have a good marriage. Only then will we be able to welcome you into the family.”
“What nonsense are you spouting!” Lu Siyu’s face changed colors.
“What do you mean by nonsense? You want to be a mistress; isn’t that what you’ve been thinking all night? Wow!” Lin Gantang clapped. “That’s amazing, Miss Lu. You’re so ambitious.”
“Who are you? Do you have the right to speak here?” Lu Siyu mocked.
“Who am I? I am your father.” Lin Gantang taunted. “Company R’s employees have no moral values and no bottom line. It makes me doubt their sincerity in collaborating. I will truthfully tell the higher-ups of the two companies. I believe he will give me an answer.”
Lin Gantang gestured for Jiang Tongtong take a cup.
Jiang Tongtong understood and picked up another glass of lemon water. She bit her lip and splashed it at her again.
Lin Gantang looked at the disheveled Lu Siyu and said to Jiang Tongtong, “Tongtong, remember this. Since you’ve married into our Lin family, the Lin family will be your backer. In the future, if you meet such people, just beat them up. There’s no need to suffer such grievances..”
