Chapter 117
The angry Lin Ye looked ferocious.
But it was this ferocious face that Qiao Nian was familiar with.
That gentle look just now was just the mask of her old brother. It was really disgusting!
Qiao Nian smiled coldly, "Since I promised my grandmother, I won't break my promise. However, little Marquis, don't have high expectations."
After that, she turned and left.
However, Lin Yuan hurriedly walked forward and blocked Qiao Nian's path, "Sister, Yuan'er has something to say and I don't know whether I should say it or not."
Looking at this hypocritical face, Qiao Nian interrupted her rudely, "You shouldn't."
Lin Yuan was stunned. She didn't expect Qiao Nian to be so disrespectful to her now.
But, she still wanted to say it.
She bit her lip, as if she had been greatly wronged, with tears streaming down her face, "Sister doesn't like to hear it, and Yuan'er also has something to say. I know, sister hates brother, and also hates me. But sister has a grandmother's body. I saw it just now. Her only wish is to see her sister get married. Can she bear to let her regret it? "
Lin Yuan shed tears as she spoke. Her sincere look only made Lin Ye on the side feel heartbroken.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said, "Yuan'er has only been with my grandmother for three years and already has such filial piety. You are the one who loves your grandmother the most, but you don't care about your grandmother as much as Yuan'er!"
Hearing this, Qiao Nian laughed angrily.
"Don't you just know that my grandmother is my only weakness now, so you have to call me here regardless of her serious illness? Since I have promised you that I will go to the banquet, why are you still forcing me like this?"
As she spoke, she raised her eyebrows and glanced at the two of them, "Could it be that you really think I would let you influence my marriage?"
The strong sarcasm in his tone aroused Lin Ye's anger. He couldn't help but stepped forward and grabbed Qiao Nian's arm, "What? I can't control it? Or do you only have that boy named Jing in your heart? Do you believe it... …”
Qiao Nian threw Lin Ye's hand away, and then pushed Lin Ye hard, "Believe it or not? What else can you do besides using those despicable methods to threaten?"
Lin Ye didn't expect Qiao Nian to take action against him, but he was actually pushed back two steps by Qiao Nian.
Before he could stand firm, the booklet in Qiao Nian's hand had already been thrown at his feet, with sarcasm on his brow, "Why didn't the young marquis clearly write down the list in this booklet? Grandmaster Qiu is not only the grandson of the grandmaster, but A grandson of marriageable age, are you looking for the top scholar Qiu Mao, or the dandy Qiu Yu who only knows how to eat, drink, and gamble?"
Hearing this, Lin Ye was stunned on the spot.
He didn't expect that Qiao Nian could figure out his thoughts with just a booklet.
He wrote this booklet deliberately in order to satisfy the old lady, so that he could impress Qiao Nian.
Qiao Nian's guess was correct. The grandson of the Grand Tutor on the list was Qiu Yu.
Seeing Qiao Nian and Lin Ye moving hands, Lin Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and took Qiao Nian's arm, "Sister, don't be angry, you look down on that Qiu Yu, there is someone else on the book! That son of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance , Although he is just a concubine, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance is a good vacancy. If you marry into his family, you will have no worries about food and clothing in the future!"
"That bastard from the household minister's family?" Qiao Nian stared at Lin Ye in disbelief, "It's the bastard from the Xu family who almost drowned me in a pond when I was eight years old, and bit me back afterwards, saying that I seduced him. Xu Huaqing?”
Lin Ye obviously still remembered this matter. Hearing Qiao Nian mention it at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, but he still insisted on saying, "After so many years, Xu Huaqing is no longer the libertine he used to be. He now follows his father in I have seen him working as an errand in the Ministry of Accounts, and he is considered a very talented person..."
"Crack!"
Qiao Nian finally couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward and slapped Lin Ye on the face.
Lin Ye's eyes widened in an instant, and he was furious. He clenched his fist and was about to swing it at Qiao Nian, but unexpectedly, he bumped into Qiao Nian's eyes filled with tears.
For a moment, his fist stopped in front of Qiao Nian's eyes, as if it was blocked by an invisible palm.
He couldn't fall down no matter what.
Qiao Nian, on the other hand, stared at him, with overwhelming hatred under the twinkling tears in his eyes.
She clearly still remembered that when she was eight years old, after knowing that Xu Huaqing almost drowned her, Lin Ye rushed up to Xu Huaqing without caring about her, and started beating Xu Huaqing while riding on him. The four or five adults around him couldn't pull him away, and the beating made Xu Huaqing fall. He was begging for mercy with his two teeth all over the floor, and almost fainted.
Lin Ye's own fist also broke the skin, but he didn't care at all. He just protected her in front of her and threatened Xu Huaqing fiercely, "If you dare to appear in front of my sister again, I will give up." I’ll beat you to death even if I take my life!”
From then on, Xu Huaqing never appeared in front of her again.
When he saw it from afar, he immediately rolled away.
But now, Xu Huaqing actually appeared in the book written by Lin Ye himself and on the list of blind dates for her!
Qiao Nian already knew that the brother who loved her had died three years ago, but the fifteen years of being loved and cared for had really existed!
It was the countless warm memories in those fifteen years that sustained her through the three years in the clothing bureau.
But now, Lin Ye tore those fifteen years into pieces with his own hands!
Tear Lin Ye who fought so hard for her with others to pieces...
The two people just faced each other.
Lin Ye couldn't put down his clenched fist, and Qiao Nian couldn't let the tears fall.
She didn't want to cry in front of this scumbag!
Seeing the two of them confronting each other, Lin Yuan was panicked and stretched out her hand again, trying to grab Qiao Nian's arm again.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Nian swung it violently this time and didn't let her touch it.
However, Lin Yuan was frightened by Qiao Nian and took two steps back, but she didn't expect to retreat to the edge of the steps, stepped on empty space, and fell backwards.
"Ah!" Lin Yuan cried out, covering the back of her head, tears kept falling down.
"Yuan'er!" Another voice came.
A figure rushed in from outside the yard and helped Lin Yuan up.
It was Xiao Heng.
He came to visit the old lady today, but he didn't expect to see this scene.
Qiao Nian pushed Lin Yuan with his own hands.
Lin Yuan obviously didn't expect Xiao Heng to show up. The moment she saw him, she felt so wronged that her tears fell one by one like beads that had broken off the string.
"Wuwuwu, Brother Heng..." Lin Yuan cried while spreading her hands to Xiao Heng, "Yuan'er is bleeding, wuwuwu..."
Seeing this, Xiao Heng immediately picked up Lin Yuan and hurried out.
But before leaving, he stopped and looked at Qiao Nian. A hint of warning was revealed in his eyes, which were always deep, just like three years ago...
