Quick Wear: I Fulfill the Wish of Cannon Fodder

Chapter 226 The Stepping Stone of the Writers of the Republic of China 11

"Of course, I only knew what love was when I first met Brother Shi," Lin Pianyue said, her face filled with a happy smile, her eyes filled with tenderness and love as she recalled that beautiful moment. It was as if time had stopped.

"I accidentally knocked over my lunch, and Brother Shi handed me a steamed bun and a bowl of porridge. It was incredibly sweet, and he'd bought it with his own daily meal allowance," Lin Pianyue said softly, tears of emotion welling in her eyes. Recalling that moment, she felt a surge of gratitude and love for Bai Shiqiao.

"Yes, I fell in love with you the first time I saw you," Bai Shiqiao muttered to himself. This rich girl was so gullible, falling in love with the original owner just because of a steamed bun and a bowl of porridge. However, he did not show his inner thoughts, but responded with a smile: "My love for you is also so deep."

At this moment, Boss Lin couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up and said seriously: "Enough, I don't need to know this. If you want to marry me, I also have a condition!" His tone was firm and resolute, and it was obvious that he had made up his mind.

However, before Boss Lin could state his conditions, Lin Pianyue stood up first and said firmly, "Dad, Brother Shi will not agree to marry into my family. He can only be himself. I will not use the Lin family as a prison to restrain his free soul."

"Pianpian, it's great to have you!" Bai Shiqiao's lips curled up slightly, his eyes gleaming with pride, a smile that he could barely contain. He had discussed this matter with Lin Pianyue two days prior, stating that as the Bai family's only son, he loved her as a person, not the Lin family's wealth, and therefore would never agree to marry into her family.

At that time, Lin Pianyue was deeply moved and felt that the man she had set her eyes on was so responsible, positive and indifferent to fame and fortune. He was truly a rare good man.

However, she had never imagined that since she met Bai Shiqiao, in just one year, she had already spent no less than seven or eight hundred dollars on him. Now, he could still swear that he was not greedy for her money. Perhaps only Lin Pianyue, who was deeply in love, would believe it.

"Pianpian, what I want to talk about is not the matter of marrying into the wife's family, but the division of the family property." Boss Lin's words instantly broke the ambiguous atmosphere between the two.

"Since Mr. Bai is not here for the Lin family's property, I'll explain the division of the property in advance. I'm sure Mr. Bai won't mind, right?" Boss Lin continued.

"No, no, no!" Bai Shiqiao waved his hands quickly, his face full of smiles, but in his heart he was secretly delighted. He had long known that Old Man Lin only had one precious daughter, Lin Pianyue, and that all the family property would definitely belong to her in the end. Now, as long as he could make her happy, she would have endless wealth and glory in the future. Thinking of this, Bai Shiqiao looked at Lin Pianyue with even more tenderness.

"Then listen Pianpian, if you want to marry this Mr. Bai, I will give you 10% of the family property as your dowry, and you will not have the right to inherit the rest." Lin Tianfu looked at his daughter and Bai Shiqiao and said expressionlessly.

Lin Pianyue remained calm after hearing her father's words. She knew her father's temper; once he made a decision, it was difficult to change it, so she didn't intend to argue. She also didn't care about money; as long as she could be with the one she loved, she was happy.

After Lin Tianfu finished speaking, he carefully observed his daughter's expression, but saw only indifference. He couldn't help but wonder, did his daughter really not care about these properties? Or was she so fascinated by Bai Shiqiao that she didn't care about anything else?

Meanwhile, Bai Shiqiao was utterly distraught. He kept calling the Wenhao System, hoping it would offer some advice. "What should I do? That damn old man won't give all his property to Lin Pianyue. I can't complete my mission like this!" Bai Shiqiao cried out in his heart.

The Wenhao System replied helplessly: "Host, this is your task, please complete it as soon as possible." It also had no way to help Bai Shiqiao solve the current dilemma. After all, this was the path he chose himself.

Although Bai Shiqiao was dissatisfied with the inaction of the literary giant system, he did not dare to show it easily at this moment. However, at this moment, he unexpectedly heard Lin Pianyue's firm and decisive response.

"That's right, Dad. I want to marry Bai Shiqiao! Even though it's only 10% of the family fortune, I believe Bai Shiqiao will give me a better life in the future."

Bai Shiqiao originally planned to refute this decision first, and then discuss a more appropriate solution with his girlfriend. However, if he missed this opportunity to marry her, he was afraid that he would never be able to complete the second task.

Helplessly, he could only look at Lin Pianyue with gratitude, and held her little hand tightly, saying affectionately: "Pianpian, you are so good to me. I, Bai Shiqiao, swear here that I will never let you down in this life."

"Well, now that the dowry has been decided, how much gift is your Bai family willing to give to marry my precious daughter?" Boss Lin leisurely picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then calmly interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Dad/Uncle..." The young couple spoke almost at the same time.

"Is there anything wrong with me asking about the betrothal gift? Do you think my Lin family will not only pay money, but also hand over our daughter to your Bai family?"

Although Bai Shiqiao thought so, he didn't dare to express it directly. He could only explain it tactfully: "Uncle, my parents are from the countryside and they don't have much savings. Regarding the betrothal gift, can it be deducted from the dowry?"

Hearing this, Boss Lin showed a hint of sneer on his face and said in a mocking tone, "Oh, you guys are dreaming! In that case, then deduct one-fifth of the dowry."

"Also, the Bai family will be responsible for hosting the wedding banquet. I have to take my wife out for a trip soon and won't be able to attend the wedding."

After saying that, Boss Lin angrily shook his sleeves and left the banquet hall without looking back, leaving Bai Shiqiao and Lin Pianyue standing there, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Looking at her father's departing back, Lin Pianyue felt very puzzled. She turned around and asked Steward Ji, "Steward Ji, what happened to my father today?"

Butler Ji turned around politely and replied, "Miss, I don't know." Then he turned around and caught up with Boss Lin and left the banquet hall together.

Seeing Butler Ji's reaction, Lin Pianyue couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and Bai Shiqiao quickly comforted her: "It's okay, it's okay, Pianpian, don't worry, I will definitely work hard to make a career and let your father recognize the love between us."

Bai Shiqiao looked at his girlfriend distressedly, pulled her tightly into his arms, and gently comforted her, "Don't be sad, honey. We must believe in love. As long as the two of us live a good life, nothing else matters. The wedding will definitely be grand and make everyone envy us."

"Brother Shi, you are the best to me. My father must have been bewitched by that evil stepmother." The girlfriend sobbed, her tears wetting Bai Shiqiao's clothes.

At this time, Boss Lin had already quietly walked into the lady's yard while they were talking. He gently pushed open the door, walked into the room, and told the lady about the trip.

"Ah... Master, after all, Pianpian is your daughter. Why don't you stay and arrange her marriage before leaving?" The lady frowned and asked in confusion.

Boss Lin sighed deeply and said slowly, "I have my own way of doing things. Madam, please count her dowry and prepare some more land and shops, but don't give her too much money. After all, her husband is not someone worthy of entrusting your life to. No matter how much wealth she has, he will squander it all."

"Master," Mrs. Lin looked at her husband's decision with helplessness in her eyes, but she couldn't help but open her mouth and wanted to continue persuading him, hoping that he could change his mind.

However, Boss Lin ignored her and turned to instruct the housekeeper: "Remember, from now on, whenever the couple buys something or eats something at the Lin family's shop, they must pay the normal price."

"Yes, sir," Butler Ji has been with his boss for many years, so he knows that the eldest lady has really angered the master this time.
