Apologize? Make amends?
No such thing.
Lin Tian smiled and shook his head. "Father, don't say anymore. I won't admit defeat anyway."
"Sigh, Tian 'er, why do you have to do this? You're just lowering your head. You won't … "
"This is my choice. No matter what the outcome is, I won't regret it. Moreover, I might not lose."
Lin Tian interrupted Lin Longxiao. Although his voice was calm, it was filled with determination.
Lin Tian could ignore the provocation of ants, but he would never give in to anyone.
That was because no one in this world had the right to make him give in.
"Alright, I respect your choice."
Lin Longxiao sighed helplessly when he saw that Lin Tian was determined not to admit defeat. He was afraid that if he continued to persuade him, it would hurt their relationship.
However, even though he said that, Lin Longxiao was not prepared to let this matter go.
He would still look for the Third Elder and have a private talk with him. He would beg the Third Elder to show mercy to Lin Tian after he won the bet. This could be considered a backup plan.
After all, he could not watch Lin Tian be crippled with his own eyes.
"Patriarch, the people from the Su Family are urging you to personally take back the marriage contract."
At this moment, another servant walked over and said with a troubled expression.
When Lin Longxiao heard this, he frowned and said, "Didn't I tell him to put the engagement aside? Did I agree to cancel the engagement?"
"But the Su Family wants you to retrieve it personally." The servant said bitterly.
"They're too much!"
Lin Longxiao could not help but shout angrily when he heard that. His expression was very ugly.
Whether it was Lin Tian or Lin Longxiao, it was a very shameful thing to have their marriage annulled.
Now, not only did the Su Family want to cancel the marriage contract, but they also wanted him to retrieve it personally. What was the meaning of this? Were they going to humiliate him in front of his face?
Lin Longxiao couldn't help but clench his fists when he recalled his encounter with the Su family when he went to pay his respects to Old Master Su earlier on.
Lin Tian could also see Lin Longxiao's anger. His eyes couldn't help but flicker. He also felt that this Su family was a bit too much.
"Since it's my engagement, I'll go get it myself."
Lin Tian said indifferently.
"Forget it, Tian 'er, let me go."
Hearing Lin Tian's words, Lin Longxiao immediately said. He was afraid that if Lin Tian went over, the Su family would say something embarrassing and irritate Lin Tian.
In Lin Longxiao's eyes, his son, who had just returned to normal, had always been very impulsive.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have made such a bet with the Third Elder without permission.
"No, this is my engagement. I should handle it myself." Lin Tian said seriously.
Lin Longxiao also knew that Lin Tian was stubborn. Seeing that he was determined to go, he did not force him. He said helplessly, "Alright, then we'll go together."
"Let's go."
Lin Tian took a step forward, and Blacky followed behind him, swaying back and forth.
Lin Longxiao looked curiously at the crow that suddenly appeared. However, he did not ask much and quickly chased after them.
Soon, Lin Tian and the others returned to the Lin Family.
They did not stop and went straight to the main courtyard.
In the main courtyard's main hall, the First Elder sat in the armchair on the right side of the main hall. That seat was usually occupied by the head of the family. Ordinary people would not sit there, nor would they dare to sit there.
However, the First Elder did not have such scruples.
Even when he saw Lin Longxiao coming over, he did not intend to get up and give up his seat. He only looked up indifferently and glanced at Lin Longxiao. Then, he said, "Long Xiao, you're here?"
"I'm here."
Lin Longxiao did not care and nodded. Then, he looked to the left of the First Elder, at the old man in gray who was drinking tea with his head lowered.
"Now that I'm here, give me the engagement."
"There's no hurry."
The old man in gray held his tea and looked up with a smile. Then, he said, "Actually, there's a chance to save this engagement. It depends on whether you're willing to or not."
"What chance?"
Lin Longxiao looked at the old man in gray and asked in surprise.
"This engagement was set by our Old Master, and it was also confirmed by our Old Master. Naturally, it can't be canceled so easily. Otherwise, what will others think of our Su Family?"
The old man in gray stood up and looked at Lin Longxiao with a smile. "Therefore, our Family Head has decided to continue with this engagement, but the bride will be changed."
"Who will it be?"
Lin Longxiao asked in a low voice. He had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Our First Miss is a God's favored daughter. She is expected to become a ruler in the future. Now, in the Yunyang Dynasty, there are countless aristocratic families who want to marry her. Among them, there is no lack of members of the royal family. Therefore, we naturally will not betroth our First Miss to your Lin Family. Your Lin Family is not qualified to marry our First Miss. "
The grey-robed elder looked at Lin Longxiao with disdain and slowly said, "However, our family's eldest miss has a servant girl who specializes in washing clothes and cooking. Her talent is not bad, so the family has decided to let her replace our eldest miss and marry into the Lin family on account of their past relationship."
"When the time comes, we hope that Family Head Lin will follow the rules and present the betrothal gifts to the Su Family. Don't be impolite."
At this point, the old man in gray smiled. His eyes were full of charity, as if marrying a servant girl into the Lin Family was a great gift.
Lin Longxiao glared at the old man in gray, burning with anger.
This group of bastards. Not only did they break the engagement, they even insulted him like this.
No matter what, Lin Tian could still be considered the young master of the Lin Family. However, the grey-robed elder's words implied that Lin Tian was marrying his family's servant girl, as if he was trying to climb up the social ladder.
The First Elder looked at the father and son in front of him with a playful expression. He wanted to see how they would deal with this.
If he did not marry her, the Su Family would definitely fall out with him.
If he married her, it would be too embarrassing.
At the very least, Lin Longxiao would be too ashamed to continue sitting in the position of Family Head. The Family Elders would also agree to let him step down.
"Who do you think you are to marry her just because you want her to?"
At this moment, a calm voice sounded, and it was filled with mockery.
Looking over, a handsome young man in white walked slowly to Lin Longxiao. He looked at the old man in gray and said slowly, "Please go back and tell your First Miss …"
"I, Lin Tian, don't like her!"
Lin Tian said word by word.
"You are Lin Tian?"
The old man in gray looked at the young man in front of him in surprise.
"I will never change my name."
Lin Tian said lightly.
The old man in gray's face turned cold. He looked at Lin Tian sarcastically and said, "You fool. Even if you have recovered from your mental illness, what right do you have to look down on our First Miss?"
"Moreover, do you think our First Miss will like you?"
"Since both of you hate each other, then this marriage will end here. You don't have to pretend to care about the past. It's really disgusting."
Lin Tian said sarcastically.
The old man in gray's face turned cold. He snorted and said, "You don't know what's good for you."
Lin Tian could not be bothered with this self-righteous guy. He turned to Lin Longxiao and asked, "Father, is our engagement still valid?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Lin Longxiao took out a red post from his storage ring.
There were two engagements. This one was the engagement for the Su Family to stay in the Lin Family.
Lin Tian took it, and without even looking at it, he tore it in half under everyone's shocked gazes.
"Since you are worried about others' opinions and don't want to break the engagement, let me help you."
Lin Tian tore the marriage contract to shreds, then smashed it on the face of the startled grey-robed old man and said indifferently, "Scram back and tell your Patriarch and Eldest Miss that from now on, the Lin and Su Families will have nothing to do with each other!"
