Cypress Boat Floating

Lin Ruoyun had wanted to escape from this family that did not belong to her more than once, and had thought about her father and stepmother's hatred and disgust for her. However, she never expected that one day she would become a pawn used by these two to please others.

The banquet was very lively. Lin Fanmao had a fake smile on his face, and Mrs. Lin pinched her throat to make a coquettish voice. As for Yan Zhen, his seemingly reserved but actually difficult to conceal gaze, every detail made Lin Ruoyun feel sick and almost vomit.

She tried her best to protect her sister behind her, not wanting her sister to get hurt, but Mrs. Lin refused to give up. She hid her own son in the house, not letting him show his face, but let Lin Ruoyun's sister do the kind of flattering and pleasing adult men. Haha, it's really ridiculous!

At this moment, Lin Ruoyun's desire to leave this home became stronger and stronger, like a seed about to break through the soil, eager to grow. She could only protect her sister and herself by staying away from this "home" full of hypocrisy and calculation.

"Oh hey! Ruoyun, Ruoshu, come here, come and toast Lord Yan! Lord Yan is busy with all kinds of affairs every day, and he works hard for ordinary people like us. Now Lord Yan can finally take a break and come to the mansion to have a glass of wine. Why are you two still sitting there stupidly? Stand up quickly and toast Lord Yan!" Madam Lin couldn't stand Lin Ruoyun's cold look anymore, so she walked straight to the two sisters and pulled Lin Ruoyun hard, trying to pull her up from her seat.

Lin Ruoyun reluctantly shook off Madam Lin's hand. She wanted to leave this hellhole in her dreams. But she knew very well that Lin Fanmao's men were standing outside the door. If she dared to act wildly in such an occasion, or even didn't give Lin Fanmao a little face, she would definitely not be able to leave here safely today, let alone protect her sister. She stared at her sister's innocent face silently, and her heart was filled with sorrow.

Lin Ruoyun gently stroked her sister's hair and whispered in her sister's ear in a low voice: "Be good, Xiaoshu, just sit here quietly. Except for your sister, don't pay attention to anyone who tells you to do so. Remember?"

After getting her sister's consent, Lin Ruoyun picked up the wine pot, held the wine glass in her hand, and slowly stood up. Her eyes flashed with determination and resolution, as if she had countless plans and goals in her heart. She tried to imitate Lin Fanmao's smile, which was a hypocritical and flattering expression.

Lin Ruoyun knew that what she wanted was not just to leave the Lin family, she also wanted to take back everything that originally belonged to her mother from Lin Fanmao. In order to achieve this goal, she knew that she had to learn how to disguise and maneuver. So, she said to Yan Zhen in a sweet voice: "Master Yan, Ruoyun would like to offer you a toast."

Yan Zhen happily took the wine glass, with a hint of greed and desire in his eyes. He smiled and responded, "Ms. Lin is indeed as beautiful as the rumors say! I am so lucky to see her today."

Lin Ruoyun took a sip of the wine and frowned slightly. She was indeed not good at drinking, but she quickly concealed her discomfort and continued, "Ruoyun's alcohol tolerance is poor, and it is really difficult for her to drink with Lord Yan. However, when it comes to drinking, Ruoyun's mother is very famous. It is said that she can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. If she were to accompany Lord Yan to taste this wine, it would surely have a better flavor. But my daughter Ruoshu is still young and cannot smell the smell of alcohol, so I will go first and take her back to rest. I hope Lord Yan will forgive me." After that, Lin Ruoyun politely put down the wine glass and apologized to Yan Zhen.

After saying that, Lin Ruoyun took Lin Ruoshu away. She couldn't stay here any longer. This place was full of hypocrisy and disgusting posturing.

Lin Fanmao was a little dissatisfied with her leaving without permission, and his face fell. When he was about to say a few more words to her, Yan Zhen spoke up. He looked at Lin Ruoyun's back as she left, and said slowly: "Your daughter's personality is really likable. The young lady seems to be not good at speaking. She is really cute. It would be great if I also had such a cute daughter."

Who in the room didn't understand this? Lin Fanmao showed an intriguing smile and said, "Thank you, Lord Yan, for your appreciation. It would be a blessing for my daughter if she could recognize Lord Yan as her father."

Hearing this, Yan Zhen laughed out loud: "Hahahaha, Brother Lin, are you really willing to let your little daughter be my daughter?"

"That's her blessing, isn't it?" Lin Fanmao smiled and raised his glass to toast Yan Zhen.

Yan Zhen put away his mouth and looked at Lin Fanmao. Lin Fanmao did not avoid him and let him look at him. After a long time, Yan Zhen put away his gaze and raised the wine glass to accept his drink: "If Brother Lin is really willing to spend, then I will be very proud to recognize such a caring person."

A casual remark from the two men determined Lin Ruoshu's life, and the Lin sisters, who thought they had escaped, were still kept in the dark about all this.
