I'm terminally ill, and all they give me is a matchmaking system?

Wan Guangyao's fawning smile vanished instantly.

He turned his head away, bowing his head, unsure of what to say.

After a moment, Wan Guangyao said, "I understand. I know you mean well, and I really shouldn't force you."

Lin Tian pursed his lips, patted his shoulder lightly, said goodbye, and boarded the high-speed train to Long City.

Two days later.

Liang Guoqing held a celebration banquet for his son Liang Tian in the Phoenix Hall of the famous four-star hotel under his company.

All the guests who attended were Liang Guoqing's business partners, neighbors, and company employees. The celebration banquet had nearly three hundred tables.

A few days ago, city leaders visited them to inform them that Liang Chuan had achieved an excellent result, ranking fifteenth in the provincial examination.

Sitting in the main seat, Liang's mother looked at the lively scene before her, as if she were watching her own child get married.

Liang Guoqing, who was standing to the side, had drunk a few glasses of wine, his cheeks were flushed, and he was obviously drunk.

Liang Chuan supported him, and Lin Tian stayed by his side, afraid that Liang Guoqing would faint if he drank any more.

Seeing Liang Guoqing's enormous capacity for alcohol, Liang's mother finally understood.

What kind of life has Liang Guoqing been living all these years?

It seems that he chose to earn money to give her and the children a good life rather than to spend time with his family.

Instead of believing Liang Guoqing, she suspected him of being unfaithful to their marriage.

A strange sense of guilt arose in my heart.

When the employees were toasting Liang Guoqing, at Lin Tian's suggestion, they all switched their alcohol to soft drinks, and he also switched to a soft drink.

After returning from the drinking session, Liang Guoqing was not as drunk as expected; instead, he seemed somewhat sober.

After settling Liang Guoqing in, Lin Tian had some doubts.

Why didn't Li Huiru come?

Liang Guoqing sat wearily beside his mother.

Seeing him like this, Liang's mother took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "You're working so hard, why didn't you tell me before? If I had known, I wouldn't have forced you..."

“I understand, I understand why you’re angry, so I don’t want to ruin the little bit of friendship we have left over.”

Liang Guoqing smiled and clapped his hands lightly at her before turning to look at Lin Tian.

"Xiao Tian, ​​yesterday afternoon, Mr. Tao Yi, the head of a law firm in Haishi, called me and talked about your performance in court. I am very pleased and happy that our Liang family has such an all-around talent as you!"

“Recently, Li Huiru, the Minister of Legal Affairs, has wasted too many of the Liang family’s resources because of her personal life. So I have informed the Human Resources Department to demote her. After all, she is a senior employee of the company, and I don’t want to be too harsh on her. This arrangement is the best.”

"Your profession is law, and it's too beneath you to just be a vice president right now. So I've decided that you, as the new head of the legal department, will lead the legal department to a higher level."

Liang Guoqing smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

Demotion?

Is that why she didn't come?

Liang Chuan stepped forward and took Lin Tian's place, speaking his mind to Liang Guoqing.

Feeling irritated by the noisy environment, Lin Tian got up and went outside.

After asking around at the legal department's table, they finally learned where Li Huiru had gone.

Regardless, Li Huiru made this mistake because of him, and he certainly couldn't pretend not to know.

If this were seen by others, wouldn't he become a heartless and ungrateful person?

Lin Tian strode away from the hotel.

In a bustling area on the next street, they found Li Huiru sitting on a plastic chair, drinking her second case of beer. She was panting and started walking forward.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw a group of shirtless thugs approaching Li Huiru step by step, their faces greasy with smiles.

Li Huiru was wearing a high-slit, bodycon dress, and her movements were so exaggerated that she put her entire leg on the other side of the chair, revealing everything underneath her dress.

After approaching with repulsive smiles, the group of thugs began to strike up conversations.

"Beautiful lady, would you do me the honor of having a drink with my little brother over there?"

"My little brother has money, he can treat you to something delicious."

"Your younger brother is strong and healthy, and he can give you a different feeling."

The men hurled obscene insults at Li Huiru.

In the past, Li Huiru might have already succumbed to temptation, but now she didn't want to pay attention to the people around her. Instead, she coldly said, "Get the hell out of here! I have no interest in playing with you, so get lost!"

In a fit of rage, she grabbed a nearby bottle and started smashing it.

So much so that the broken pieces of the bottle shattered violently, scattering everywhere, with some flying directly into the man's face.

The moment the warm blood flowed down, the man, who had been calm and composed just moments before, instantly flew into a rage. He kicked the table beside him and roared, "You dare lay a hand on me? You're lucky I even noticed you! You better not push your luck!"

"And judging by your age and the way you look like you're heartbroken and on the verge of death, you're probably still a virgin, right? How about I deflower you? That way you can experience the joys of being a woman."

The man's foul language reached Li Huiru's ears in an instant.

Li Huiru turned her head and looked over, her fair face etched with age and wrinkles, revealing a hint of disdain: "What I am is none of your business! When I was young and beautiful, you hadn't even grown a single hair yet, and now you're acting like a grandson to me?"

Li Huiru, who usually acts gentle and charming, spoke with utter malice at this moment.

Lin Tian listened, feeling a little guilty.

When the man realized that Li Huiru couldn't understand what he was saying, he chuckled and gave a wink to his two henchmen beside him.

There weren't many people strolling around the city center today.

And this guy was a notorious gang leader in the area.

Once he took action, even the stall owners who wanted to help dared not act rashly.

Just like that, Li Huiru, who had been so feisty just moments before, was suddenly pulled down and dragged to a nearby alley without a word.

He didn't stop insulting her: "You're so old, what are you pretending for? Let me taste a virgin of your age. If I enjoy it, I'll come back to you next time!"

Li Huiru, who was being dragged to the ground, was in pain, whether from the friction of his body against the ground or from the hurt he had inflicted on her.

Her tears flowed like a dam breaking, and she sat there, completely losing her composure, sobbing uncontrollably.

Seeing that Li Huiru had stopped struggling, the gang leader rushed forward, grabbed her, held her in his arms, and pulled down her pants with one hand.

He licked the woman's earlobe, teasing her.

"Just wait, I'll make you feel good soon enough!"
