Don't meet me in your next life.

Grandpa stared at their marriage certificate for a long time, his eyes already welling up with tears.

"If only your mother could see this day," Grandpa's voice trembled.

"My sister will definitely see this," the uncle muttered to himself.

"Grandpa, my mom can see this from heaven, and she'll bless me too," Lin Lubai said in a hoarse voice.

“Yes, Dad, try to think more positively,” the uncle comforted his father.

"Alright, Xiaobai, I'm tired too." Grandpa paused. "Since you already have a plan for this matter and you've already registered your marriage, you can handle it yourself. Your uncles and I will cooperate with you."

"Thank you, Grandpa. Let me help you to rest." Lin Lubai said obediently.

"No need, Grandpa isn't at the point where he can't walk yet." Grandpa refused Lin Lubai's help, not wanting Lin Lubai to see his vulnerable side.

"Oh, right, bring her back for dinner another day. Also, once this is over, hold a wedding for her," Grandpa added.

"We don't need a wedding, she should be giving birth soon," Lin Lubai said.

The eldest uncle opened his mouth in surprise; he had never known this before.

"Then let's combine the full moon celebration and the wedding celebration!" Grandpa's tone left no room for argument.

"Okay, I'll listen to Grandpa," Lin Lubai agreed.

"Xiaobai, you know perfectly well that she is Lu Sichen's ex-girlfriend, and that she is still entangled with him. Are you trying to get revenge on the Lu family?" After Grandpa and Uncle left, Uncle asked worriedly.

"No, Uncle, I wouldn't joke about my marriage or feelings, otherwise I would have married Su Qiaoqiao," Lin Lubai said calmly.

"It's not a good thing for two brothers to like the same woman. Besides, as far as I know, she's still very close to that kid Lu Sichen," his uncle reminded him.

“He and Lu Sichen have never been together; they are just good friends.” Lin Lubai was also uneasy, but he didn’t want his uncle to know. “She asked me to give her a year, and after that, she would listen to me.”

His uncle patted him on the shoulder: "I hope she deserves it."

Lin Lubai didn't respond. He wasn't sure himself, but he chose to trust Xiang Yiyi.

"Uncle, could you help me investigate An Qi abroad and find out who she works for, and also that media company? I had Xiao Zhao send people to investigate, but we haven't found any breakthroughs." Lin Lubai paused for a moment before speaking.

“Alright, leave this to me. As for the Su family, you can ask my brother to help you. He has more resources than I do in China,” the uncle said to Lin Lubai.

"Hmm. Shall we go grab a couple of drinks?" Lin Lubai said, getting up and walking towards the bar in the back building of the Lin family home.

"Yi Yi, what are you doing? Are you asleep?" Lin Lubai couldn't help but send a message to Yi Yi.

Xiang Yi didn't see the message. Right now, she and Xiao Qing were shopping at the mall, buying keepsakes for the baby in her womb.

An hour passed, and Lin Lubai still hadn't received her message. Without even taking a night's rest, he called Xiao Zhao and the driver, and drove back to Shashi.

"Brother Xiaobai, have you returned to Lucheng?" Lin Lubai, who was staring blankly at his phone in the car, was startled by Su Qiaoqiao's call.

He pressed the answer button: "Yes, what's up?"

"I'd like to meet with you and have a talk," Su Qiaoqiao said.

"Qiaoqiao, I'm on the highway right now. You can call me if you need anything," Lin Lubai said.

“Grandpa and Grandpa on the other side know about us. Grandpa wants us to get married as soon as possible to shut the media up,” Su Qiaoqiao said timidly.

"Qiaoqiao, I apologize again for what happened that day, but I don't love you, and marrying you would only hurt you." Lin Lubai left Su Qiaoqiao with no illusions.

"Brother Xiaobai, it doesn't matter whether you love me or not, I just want to be your wife." Su Qiaoqiao was unwilling to back down.

"Qiaoqiao, I've always considered you my sister. If you're willing, I can promise to give you some compensation and try to restore your reputation." Lin Lubai still had a trace of pity. He didn't want to sacrifice Qiaoqiao because of this, after all, he had always considered her his sister.

"I don't want any of those things, I don't need them, I just want to marry you." Su Qiaoqiao was getting a little frantic.

"Su Qiaoqiao, I won't agree to this, and I can't agree to it. If that's the case, then let's leave it at that." Lin Lubai said and hung up the phone.

Lin Lubai felt somewhat helpless. Was he just naturally attracted to women? He had been surrounded by admirers since he started school, but because he didn't show any romantic feelings, they gradually drifted away. Only Su Qiaoqiao remained so persistent, even after he had made his point so clear.

On the other end of the phone, Su Qiaoqiao heard the dial tone and angrily smashed her phone against the wall, shattering it into several pieces.

"Lin Lubai, do you look down on me that much?" Su Qiaoqiao squatted on the ground and cried.

Hearing the sound, Su Mingli walked over: "Is this Lin Lubai so magical that he makes you so crazy about him!"

Seeing her younger sister like this, Su Mingli felt a pang of heartache. She had never cried like this for anyone before.

Su Mingli picked up the phone from the ground, removed the SIM card, and took out a new phone to replace it for her: "Don't cry, I'll help you."

"Brother, am I really that bad? Does Xiaobai dislike me that much?" Su Qiaoqiao asked, crying.

“How could my Qiaoqiao be bad? It’s Lin Lubai who has no taste; he’s not good enough for you,” Su Mingli said softly.

Just then, Su Qiaoqiao's phone rang, and a message came in.

"I found out about Xiang Yiyi's background. If you want to know, give me 30." It was that same unfamiliar number.

A glint flashed in Su Qiaoqiao's eyes, and she immediately said to her brother, "Brother, give me some money, I want to vent my frustrations."

"Okay, there's a million in this card. Take it and spend it, as long as you're happy." Su Mingli didn't see the message.

"Thanks, brother. I'm going to have some fun now." Su Qiaoqiao took the money and went to the garage to drive her car.

"Give me your account number, and then send what I need to my email." Once in the car, Su Qiaoqiao sent a message to the unknown number.

One minute later, an account number was sent to Xiang Yiyi's phone, and Su Qiaoqiao transferred 30 yuan to the other party according to the account number.

"The money has been transferred. Send it to my email address." Su Qiaoqiao sent another message to the unknown number.

Five minutes later, Su Qiaoqiao received another message on her phone, but this time it was an email notification.

Su Qiaoqiao opened her email; there were five pages of information about Xiang Yiyi.

Most of the preceding content is about her personal life and identity, but there's a later page introducing her as Lu Sichen's girlfriend from university.

Lu Sichen? Isn't Lu Sichen the heir to the Lu family business?

The next page details her past marriage, which was to Lin Lubai, but it was a whirlwind marriage and divorce.

The last half-page describes how Xiang Yi and Lu Sichen lived in Yunxi for a long time after Xiang Yi returned to China.

Seeing this, Su Qiaoqiao was stunned. Was she two-timing? Was Lin Lubai still completely unaware?
