When Yun Miao said that sentence, whether it was Yang Chen, Huilin or Lin Zhiguo, all three of them were completely dumbfounded.
The atmosphere in the tent froze. No one said a word.
After a long time, Yang Cheng was the first to recover. He touched his forehead, trying to figure out the truth of Yun Miao's words. "Abbess, you don't have to laugh like that. Our sense of humor is very low."
Yun Miao said solemnly, "Do I look like I'm joking to you?"
"Yun 'er, Yang Cheng is already married to Ruoxi. I've already told you!" Lin Zhiguo said seriously.
Yun Miao said with a faint smile, "So what if they're married? They're just getting a certificate. They're only together because that girl listens to her grandmother and obeys the Lin family's rules. That's why they're together. There's no emotional foundation for a marriage like theirs. "
Hui Lin was so anxious that her cheeks turned red. She glared at Yang Cheng shyly before begging Abbess Yun Miao, "Grandma, how can you do this? He's already married. How can I marry him? Moreover, this is the first time I've met him! You said that Yang Cheng and his wife don't have any emotional foundation. Isn't it the same for me? In fact, I can't even compare to his current wife! "
Hearing Hui Lin's words, Yun Miao smiled happily. She said to Yang Cheng, "Did you hear that? Hui Lin said that this is the first time she's met you. There's no emotional foundation."
Yang Cheng didn't understand what she meant. He could only nod.
"You don't understand?" Yun Miao said unhappily.
Yang Cheng smiled bitterly. "What can I understand?"
"It seems like you still don't understand girls well enough. Hui Lin didn't say that she doesn't like you. She only said that it's the first time they've met, and that their feelings aren't deep enough. This means that she's still thinking of meeting you more often in the future. Let's see how things develop," Abbess Yun Miao explained.
Not to mention Yang Cheng, even Hui Lin was dumbfounded. Abbess Yun Miao's words of rejection had turned it into an ambiguous signal!
"Grandma … it's not like that …" Hui Lin was on the verge of tears.
Lin Zhiguo's expression did not look good either. "Yun 'er, why are you doing this? Although Ruoxi and Hui Lin have different parents, they are both my granddaughters! They are blood-related sisters. Do you want them to stand against each other for the rest of their lives for a man?! "
"That's right!" Abbess Yun Miao looked at Lin Zhiguo with bright eyes and said angrily, "Back then, I was blind and misjudged you. That's why my own flesh and blood and daughter-in-law died overseas, without even leaving a corpse behind! If it wasn't for the fact that Hui Lin was always by my side, how could she still be standing in front of me?! I don't even know where you sent her to! I can't let Hui Lin follow in the footsteps of her parents. Now that Senior Brother Song is watching from the heavens, please let Yang Cheng appear in front of me. I won't hand over my granddaughter's happiness to that woman's granddaughter! "
Lin Zhiguo let out a long sigh. "It's my fault. The sins that I've caused. Is this retribution from the heavens …"
Hearing Abbess Yun Miao and Lin Zhiguo's words, Hui Lin was shocked. She grabbed onto Abbess Yun Miao's sleeves and sobbed, "Grandma … You … My parents … They are …"
Abbess Yun Miao lovingly caressed Hui Lin's smooth face and wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes. "Hui Lin, Grandma didn't tell you because I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to bear it. But today, I can't hide it anymore. You've grown up, you should understand your past and walk towards your future. Grandma will tell you everything in front of you and Yang Cheng, so that you can see clearly what kind of person your so-called 'grandfather' is …"
As she spoke, Abbess Yun Miao glanced at Lin Zhiguo coldly and began to narrate the past …
More than forty years ago, Abbess Yun Miao and Song Tianxing were the two outstanding descendants of the famous Shushan, while Lin Zhiguo was a military giant, a descendant of the founding fathers of the Lin family.
After the three of them were recruited into the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade, they went through layers of selection and became comrades in the most elite Dragon Group. At that time, Abbess Yun Miao also fell in love with Lin Zhiguo through many missions.
However, Song Tianxing, who had always been secretly concerned about Abbess Yun Miao, began to feel tormented. But out of love for his comrades and his junior sister, he only silently blessed them.
Because Abbess Yun Miao came from a famous family, the elders of the Lin family supported her to be with Lin Zhiguo. Needless to say, Abbess Yun Miao's beauty and experienced many life and death situations together. The relationship between the two progressed rapidly.
But at that time, Lin Zhiguo was ambushed during a mission in France. Seriously injured, he hid in the apartment of a female exchange student.
The female exchange student was a woman from a completely different world from Abbess Yun Miao, but they had one thing in common, they were equally beautiful.
The female exchange student took in Lin Zhiguo for a month, so Lin Zhiguo could no longer forget her. He had even decided to tell the elders of the Lin family that he wanted to marry the female exchange student as his wife after returning to the country.
But things always didn't go as he wished. The family background of the female exchange student was just an ordinary merchant family. Even in the generation of her grandfather, there were reactionaries.
Such a woman, for the Lin family who considered themselves to be of noble blood and the founding fathers of the country, would not be considered at all!
Between the two huge temptations of being the heir of the Lin family and even the future leader of the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade, and the bleak choice of choosing that woman and being kicked out of the Lin family, Lin Zhiguo chose the former.
In the end, Lin Zhiguo married Abbess Yun Miao, but his heart had always been around the female exchange student. Even after getting married, he went to Zhonghai many times to meet with her.
This was also why Lin Ruoxi's grandmother was unmarried all her life, but she had a son and a daughter-in-law, and a granddaughter, Lin Ruoxi.
When Lin Ruoxi's grandmother was pregnant, Lin Zhiguo had to tell the fact that he was married. At that time, Abbess Yun Miao also investigated through various channels and found out why Lin Zhiguo was no longer as affectionate to her as before.
After Abbess Yun Miao knew about Lin Zhiguo's betrayal, she was very sad. She once cried in front of Song Tianxing, but when Song Tianxing was angry and wanted to kill Lin Zhiguo, Abbess Yun Miao stopped Song Tianxing.
At that time, Song Tianxing suddenly understood that no matter how hard he worked, Abbess Yun Miao only had Lin Zhiguo in her heart. Even if Lin Zhiguo did such a dirty thing, Abbess Yun Miao still regarded him as her husband and Song Tianxing as her brother.
Since then, Song Tianxing left without saying goodbye. Although Abbess Yun Miao and Lin Zhiguo were sad, they could do nothing about it.
As time went by, Abbess Yun Miao found that her idea of trying to pull back Lin Zhiguo's heart was becoming more and more unrealistic. Lin Zhiguo had been secretly protecting that woman's family business, so that some old antiques of the Lin family did not dare to deal with them easily. On the other side, the gap between Lin Zhiguo and her was getting bigger and bigger.
Until more than 20 years later, a year after the marriage of Abbess Yun Miao and Lin Zhiguo's only son, Lin Zhiguo had just given birth to his granddaughter, Lin Hui, who was now Hui Lin. Less than three months later, Lin Zhiguo sent his son and daughter-in-law, who were also in the Dragon Group, to Kashmir to complete a hunting mission.
Lin Zhiguo was famous for being selfless, so the people of the Lin family often rushed to the forefront of the battle line.
But at that time, the young couple of the Lin family never came back …
After the incident, Abbess Yun Miao, who had lost her son, was devastated. Her dissatisfaction and resentment against Lin Zhiguo for many years finally broke out after the death of her son and daughter-in-law.
Lin Zhiguo knew that he was in the wrong, but he could only bear it silently.
Disheartened, Abbess Yun Miao resolutely returned to Shushan with her granddaughter, Hui Lin, and asked her granddaughter to change her daoist name to Hui Lin. From childhood to adulthood, they addressed each other as master and disciple.
In the past 20 years, although Lin Zhiguo occasionally went to the mountain to visit them, and Hui Lin also knew that this man was her grandfather, Abbess Yun Miao basically did not see him. She would retreat every time.
It was also because of so many years of retreat that Abbess Yun Miao gradually missed Song Tianxing's kindness in the past, and she owed Song Tianxing too much.
Unfortunately, twenty years was too long. Even if he apologized, it would be too late.
As Abbess Yun Miao narrated the story, Yang Cheng and Hui Lin were stunned. Yang Cheng finally understood why Lin Ruoxi hated Lin Zhiguo so much. From a man's point of view, Yang Cheng also looked down on Lin Zhiguo. No matter how much he had done for the country, he really did not deserve to face these two women who had once loved him so deeply. Of course, because he cared about the reputation of the family, he had only secretly helped her in her career. When she was growing up, he did not care about her at all. To Lin Ruoxi, this was indeed too unfair.
To Hui Lin, the death of her parents was actually caused by her grandfather. Although it was only indirectly, it was still too painful. Moreover, her grandfather had always liked other women. To Hui Lin, who had followed her grandmother since young and treated her as her most cherished family, it was enough to make Hui Lin hate Lin Zhiguo to the core!
"Hui Lin, the reason why grandma wants you to be Yang Cheng's wife isn't just to repay the guilt towards Senior Song. You've seen it for yourself today, Yang Cheng's intelligence and capability. Even in the entire world, there might not be anyone who can surpass him. Moreover, he's not as arrogant as the other young men these days. Even though he has a glib tongue, he won't mistreat the woman he truly likes, "Abbess Yun Miao said earnestly." What's more, he's not like you.
When Yang Cheng heard that, he was elated. It seemed that Abbess Yun Miao was a sensible person. She had revealed one percent of his good points!
Hui Lin blushed and mumbled, "Grandma … I know you're doing this for my own good, but … but he's already married. I can't possibly divorce him. Moreover … he might not even like me." As she spoke, Hui Lin sneaked a glance at Yang Cheng.
Abbess Yun Miao smiled and turned to ask, "Yang Cheng, have you and Lin Ruoxi held a wedding?"
"Erm … no," Yang Cheng said honestly, rubbing his nose.
"Hmph," Abbess Yun Miao sneered. "I knew it. How could such a marriage be made public? That means that only a small number of people know about your marriage. If that's the case, our Hui Lin can compete fairly. You wouldn't think that our Hui Lin is inferior to Lin Ruoxi, would you? "
Yang Cheng glanced at Lin Zhiguo. Seeing that Lin Zhiguo was deep in thought and had no intention to speak, he smiled at Shanshan. "Of course not. Hui Lin is kind, innocent, and beautiful. I think any normal man would like her."
Abbess Yun Miao nodded in satisfaction. She then said to Hui Lin, who had shyly shrunk her head, "Hui Lin, listen. He said that you're kind and innocent before saying that you're beautiful. This means that he values your heart more. What else do you have to worry about?"
Huh?! That works too?!
This time, Yang Cheng was on the verge of tears. He didn't know if Abbess Yun Miao was a master in martial arts, but her matchmaking skills were definitely at the grandmaster level!
