"No, I won't." The voice of Lin Xi's protest sounded in the living room, "In the beginning, the Gu family wanted Lin Ruo to marry Gu Han Chen. Now, why are you pushing me out?"
Furious, Lin Xi stared at the elegant, well-dressed dignified lady sitting on the couch. She had previously interfered in her parents' marriage, leading to the death of her own mother. Now, she wanted to force her to replace Lin Ruo and be married into the Gu Family. The woman was truly base and shameless to the extreme.
Who doesn't know that Gu Han Chen not only was impotent, but more importantly, it was rumored that Gu Han Chen disfigured himself because he couldn't escape the fire at the Gu Family House years ago. Since then, his temperament has become extremely violent, and he has always stayed in his bedroom, never seen by anyone. Now they wanted her to marry and move over there, wasn't that pushing her into a pit of fire?
Jiang Li Hua had anticipated her reaction, so she didn't get angry. She put down the bone china coffee cup exclusive to the European royalty that she held in her hand, slowly standing up and walking towards Lin Xi.
"Gu Zhi Hong said that as long as the Lin Family is willing to marry their daughter off to the Lan Family, he would give your father that piece of land in the suburb for free. You know, once we obtain the development rights to that piece of land, our Yi Tian Group can be said to have completely stabilized its footing in C City. This has been your father's wish for many years, you wouldn't want to see him disappointed, would you? Besides, the Gu family's company is now ranked among the top ten in the world. If you marry into their family, you will be a young mistress high above the rest in high society."
"This is an opportunity where you stand to benefit in more than one way, and yet I don't understand why you would still reject it?"
At the time when she needed Lin Fu Yuan, her father, the most, he never showed a shred of concern for her. He didn't care whether she had enough to eat, or where she slept at night. He didn't care about how Lin Ruo and Jiang Li Hua insulted her. But now, he was using his paternal authority to make her sacrifice her lifetime of happiness, which was laughable.
"Isn't there more than one daughter in the Lin Family?"
Lin Xi sneered at Jiang Li Hua, "Since there are so many benefits to marrying into the Gu Family. Then Lin Ruo should be the young mistress. Besides, what the company will end up like has nothing to do with me."
"You may not care about the company or your father, but do you also not care about your grandmother?" Jiang Li Hua whispered gently into Lin Xi's ear. Her voice was warm and enticing.
Actually, Jiang Li Hua, standing amongst the crowd, was indeed a beauty. Time hasn't left a mark on her well-cared-for face, instead, it had added a unique charm to her mature beauty.
No wonder Lin Fu Yuan would abandon his wife, who married him with nothing and helped him build the empire of the Yi Tian Group, for her.
However, the prettier the flower, the more poisonous it is. The beautiful Jiang Li Hua appeared gentle and lovely on the surface, but her heart was more toxic than opium.
Undeniably, this time she really hit home, targeting Lin Xi's vulnerability. If there was something in the world that she cared about, something she was willing to use all her strength to protect, that would be her grandmother.
Her grandmother urgently needed surgery. The subsequent medication would also cost a large sum of money. Lin Xi, with only her coffee shop job, could not save enough money for her grandmother's operation even if she saved for a lifetime. Now, the only one who could save her grandmother's life was the Lin family.
