Marrying Gold and Jade

Cheng Kejia was agitated by her two questions, so he asked her: "Why are you worried about him? He already has Lin Ji by his side, so is he still thinking about Shen Lian?"

"Can't I worry if I don't miss you?" Lin Yu answered calmly, "Besides, I'm thinking about you. Shen Lian is very good, but how can you be happy if you marry someone you don't like?"

The person on the other side was silent for a while.

He stared at Lin Yu for a long time before saying, "I'm different from you."

Her father had too many women and too many children.

When it comes to saving face for my mild-tempered mother, likes and dislikes are simply the most irrelevant things.

“I know what I’m doing anyway.”

Lin Yu just lowered his head and pinched a piece of osmanthus cake, "Well, I believe you."

Anyway, Cheng Kejia is decisive and always knows what he wants.

It's her herself.

Lin Yu caught a glimpse of a man walking by the pavilion and turned to look unconsciously.

Cheng Kejia saw it and said sincerely: "You and him have known each other for many years, and you know each other's tempers best. You were a family before, and you will still be a family in the future. I think it's a good idea."

Lin Yu disagreed.

On the contrary, she found that she had never figured out Lin Ji's character.

The only thing that is certain is that he likes to keep his thoughts to himself.

"If I tell you now that Croissant is just an adopted child and not your blood relative, would you be willing to marry Croissant?" She looked away and said this casually.

Cheng Kejia almost exploded, "Are you crazy, Lin Yu?"

It was this sound that attracted the man under the pavilion to stop and look.

He had no idea what the two girls were talking about. Lin Yu shrank his neck, looking like someone who had gotten into trouble and was trying to humble himself and accept the scolding.

Still the same as when I was a kid.

As he took another step forward, a faint smile appeared at the corners of his straight lips.

Until he met Lin Jianchang who had just returned home.

"Father." He immediately returned to his expressionless face and nodded slightly to the person.

Lin Jianchang looked a little impatient, and stepped forward to pull his arm, "Aji, let's go to your place. Your father has something to say."

Normally, the father and son would discuss matters in the study, but today they chose to go to Qihe Hall. The reason was simple: there were few people there, and he also wanted to avoid his wife and children.

After the door was closed, Lin Jianchang asked, "I heard from my family that you want to marry Yu'er?"

"Yes," Lin Ji answered without hesitation, "I haven't had the chance to tell my father yet."

After this promise, the man's tired face showed a guilty look. He took a few steps forward and turned his back to him.

"Aji, this matter... it's not good to ask your father to tell you."

He spoke with great effort, but no one responded for a long time.

Suspecting that the person didn't hear him clearly, Lin Jianchang turned around, only to see Lin Ji staring at him with a solemn and somewhat oppressive expression.

Lin Jianchang was the first to look away.

"Why?" The young man changed his humble tone and said only two words.

"Look, everyone knows that I raised you. How is Yu'er any different from your own sister? If you do this, people will tell others..."

"These are things that the father thinks, can't the son think of them?"

Lin Ji interrupted him and took two steps forward, closing the distance between them. "Father, if you have any difficulties, please speak frankly."

Lin Ji was half a head taller than him, and he could just see a few tufts of white hair on the top of his head.

"I..." Lin Jianchang hesitated for a moment and said, "How can I be in trouble? I am also thinking about you. You know how many noble ladies there are in Songjiang Prefecture. You don't have to have Yu'er."

"It has to be her."

His voice was light, but Lin Jianchang could hear his determination.

He looked up and asked, "Is there no room for maneuver?"

Lin Ji has been a sensible son since he was young, or to be more precise, a sensible adopted son.

He knew that everything he had came from his adoptive father, so he never disobeyed anything. His determination to improve himself was not only a way to prove himself, but also a way to repay his adoptive father.

But when it comes to this matter, he said: "I have made up my mind."

Lin Jianchang immediately shook his head and turned his back, but did not speak again.

I'm afraid even Lin Ji himself would not deny that he likes to hide things when encountering problems, which he learned from his adoptive father.

Today, seeing that the family has calmed down again, Lin Ji really doesn't want to arouse his suspicion and ruin the peace at home.

"Father……"

"That's it," Lin Jianchang suddenly turned around, "If you don't give in, our Lin family will be finished."

After several rounds of negotiations, Lin Ji finally learned about the situation.

It was exactly the same as Lin Yu’s self-talk that day.

Lin Jianchang said that the Fifth Prince came to his house and specifically asked to marry his daughter, and implicitly asked him to give all his property as a dowry and surrender.

"You know that among us who do business, we all have our moments of being ambiguous. Now he is using my faults to force me to agree!"

Lin Ji just listened quietly.

After a long while, Fang said, "Father should know now. From the beginning, you brought people home. This was his plan."

Now that he has everything in his hands, any business mistakes and secrets that he doesn't want to tell others are enough to hold him under control.

"Aji, your father is already in the police station."

He stepped forward to shake hands, but Lin Ji took a step back, this time keeping some distance.

"Even if you offer your family property, why sacrifice your own daughter?" He said firmly, "Ayu can't marry him."

"I told him everything! If he wants money, I will give him money. Marriage is just a formality. But he won't give in. He will not give me my daughter and my property!"

All the thoughts that had been pent up for many days came out like a flood that broke through the dam. "I originally thought that I would marry Wanying to him, but the moment I turned around, Wanying was gone..."

"His coming-of-age ceremony is coming soon, and he will be returning to the imperial capital soon... Ah Ji, this noble is a noble, and with his methods and schemes, you and I cannot contend with him!"

That day, Lin Ji heard him talk a lot, which was rare.

When I finally had time to go to Lin Yu's greenhouse, the sun was already setting.

Lin Yu was also puzzled, and asked him when he saw him: "Didn't you come back early? Are you very tired today?"

Cheng Kejia sat for a while and then left. Seeing that dinner would take some time, Lin Yu went straight into the greenhouse, thinking that Lin Ji would also come over.

But I didn't expect him to be so slow.

She would now also look at Lin Ji's expression. For example, if he lowered his eyes a little and didn't look at her much, it meant that he was worried about something.

"What's going on?" She also put down the pruning shears.

This is a serious matter. In the past, Lin Ji would have solved it herself and not let such troubles bother her.

But with Ruan's warning ringing in his ears, he rarely asked, "You have been to Yunwu Mountain many times. Have you ever met the Fifth Prince?"

He has already figured out the situation. Wan Ying was sent in because she was the one who was supposed to marry, the chess piece that was easiest to control.

But now the person has been killed, and the other party is rushing towards Lin Yu.
