Phi-Fic Chapter 672 Accepting a New Identity
Chapter 672 Accepting a New Identity
Things have developed to this point, which can be considered a happy ending for everyone.
Lin Ping finally understood why Lin Fugui and his wife had changed their personalities so drastically in the past two days. Not only did they inexplicably become hostile towards Jiang Yunying, but they even urged Lin Xiaomei to get married.
The logic is simple: only if Lin Ping lets go of Jiang Yunying will he give up searching for Zhang Jiuxiang and thus not learn his identity.
As for getting Lin Xiaomei married, it's even easier to understand. After all, she and Lin Ping are not related by blood, but she just loves to snuggle into her brother's arms. Sooner or later, she'll cause trouble. The best solution is to marry her off.
Thinking of this, Lin Ping's heart tightened.
Lin Xiaomei is Lin Fugui's biological daughter, but for Lin Ping's sake, he often beats and scolds her. In order to prevent Lin Ping's reputation from being tarnished, he even cruelly marries Lin Xiaomei off.
"Isn't my brother my brother?" Lin Xiaomei felt a mix of emotions, unsure whether to be happy or sad.
"You brat, are you itching for a beating again? Trying to escape my clutches?" Lin Ping said angrily.
Although she usually indulged in Lin Ping's madness, she had reached an age where she could understand things. With tears in her eyes, she shook her head and said, "Brother's hand is not a demon's claw, but a wall for little sister to shelter from the wind."
Seeing the family reconcile, Zhou Xiyin smiled knowingly.
She knew that Lin Ping's playboy behavior was an act; he was the pillar of the family, and if he cried and wailed, wouldn't everyone else have to cry with him?
Since he was Lin Hao's son, he could naturally marry Jiang Yunying openly and legitimately. Lin Ping couldn't wait to return to Jiangcheng and tell her the good news.
However, the one-month deadline is fast approaching, and if I go back to Jiangcheng, I'm afraid I won't have time to visit Lotus Palace again.
Lin Ping decided to go directly to the Lotus Palace. Anyway, Jiang Lanfeng was supervising Jiangcheng, and he guessed that she had already set off for the Lotus Palace with Jiang Yunying by now.
After saying goodbye to Lin Fugui and the others, Lin Ping prepared to leave.
"Will my husband come to Yingtian Prefecture again?" Zhou Xiyin asked, mustering her courage as Lin Ping was about to leave.
Now that Lin Ping's true identity has been revealed, he will surely live a shameless life with Jiang Yunying.
Even Lin Fugui's family will move back to Jiangcheng, destined to have no connection with Yingtian Prefecture.
Lin Ping was taken aback at first, then thought for a moment and replied, "There's no need for me to come back."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiyin felt a lump in her throat and almost burst into tears.
As the eldest daughter of the Lin family, she was born with an air of arrogance, and even if she liked someone, she would not take the initiative to speak up.
This time, she made an exception and asked loudly, "Then what about me? Will you come back and marry me?"
After holding back her words for so long, she finally shouted them out, wishing the whole world could hear them.
As expected, people from all over the city came to watch.
Wu Kingdom was, after all, a feudal society, where women were expected to follow the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, so how could they openly express their love for men in broad daylight?
This undoubtedly inspired the girls, who longed to be as brave as Zhou Xiyin, and immediately cheered, "Together! Together!"
"What a stupid woman! Didn't we already say this?" Faced with countless accusing gazes, Lin Ping felt utterly helpless.
"Kiss her!"
In the crowd, I don't know which angel sister said that.
Zhou Xiyin's pretty face immediately turned bright red, and she wished she could bury her head in her own chest.
Suddenly, she felt a pair of large hands cupping her burning cheeks, and a pair of textured lips pressed against hers.
No, no, oh...
Zhou Xiyin tried to struggle, but she couldn't overcome Lin Ping's strong arms, and her mouth was firmly sealed shut so she couldn't utter a word.
"So many villagers are watching, aren't you ashamed?"
After the forceful kiss ended, Zhou Xiyin said angrily.
"So what? We were engaged. Even if we're divorced, she's still my ex-wife!" Lin Ping said smugly. "Silly woman, you stay here and wait for me to come back. Don't let anyone take her away!"
Zhou Xiyin was captivated by his domineering voice, and her heart pounded wildly.
These words undoubtedly reassured her. Let alone waiting for ten days or half a month, even waiting until she was old and faded was not out of the question.
By the time she came to her senses, Lin Ping had already disappeared, but his domineering words still lingered in her ears.
"Sister-in-law, when brother comes back, you should come back to Jiangcheng with us. We'll have to renovate the Lin residence properly, otherwise it won't be able to accommodate so many sisters-in-law." Lin Xiaomei smiled brightly.
Although Lin Ping is a playboy, he has never broken his promise. Since he promised to come back, he will definitely come back.
The weight that had been pressing on Lin Fugui's heart for twenty years was finally lifted, and he no longer had to be so careful when facing Lin Ping.
"My son has grown up!" Lin Fugui exclaimed happily, his enthusiasm growing even stronger.
Before Lin Ping left, he said that he would not leave until Lin Fugui had been squeezed dry.
Therefore, Lin Fugui must work a hundred times harder to snatch him away and never let Lin Ping squeeze every last drop of profit out of him, so that he can keep him by his side forever.
Meanwhile, in Jiangcheng, after several days of investigation, they still found nothing.
Jiang Yunying was finally forcibly taken back to Lotus Palace.
"Aunt, should we wait for my husband?" Jiang Yunying pleaded.
"Hmph, that kid is afraid of being held accountable by his senior brother, so he probably ran away long ago. Under heaven, only his senior brother's son is a match for you," Jiang Lanfeng advised earnestly.
Jiang Yunying lowered her head and remained silent, but secretly vowed: "I, Jiang Yunying, will never marry my master's son in this lifetime!"
She never imagined that the son of her senior apprentice, whom she had rejected before even meeting him, would actually be the husband she had been longing for.
If Lin Ping heard this vow, I wonder if he would be heartbroken.
Inside the Lotus Palace, atop Cold Moon Peak, Chen Hao stood with his hands behind his back, calmly looking down the mountain. Though his heart was as still as a deep well, a hint of anticipation flickered within him.
"Senior brother, do you think Lin Ping will really come?" Chu Rujun asked softly.
Despite being fellow senior brothers, Lin Hao's aura of pressure on her far surpassed that of Lü Yan; they were not even in the same league.
She didn't even dare to speak loudly in front of Lin Hao, but even so, it couldn't stop her desire to get closer to him.
These two, father and son, have already developed many similarities, seemingly by some unseen force.
Every woman their age admired them.
Jiang Lanfeng was like that, and so was Chu Rujun.
"He will come; his eyes don't lie," Lin Hao said calmly.
"Eyes? What eyes?" Chu Rujun couldn't remember the look Lin Ping had given her before she left.
"His eyes were filled with fear; he knew the consequences of not keeping his promise," Lin Hao said seriously.
Chu Rujun immediately felt a chilling killing intent and unconsciously took a few steps back.
"Would Senior Brother really kill him?" Chu Rujun asked nervously.
Lin Ping was, after all, her disciple, and even though things had developed to this point, a trace of teacher-student affection still remained.
“Kill him? I’m not a butcher, why would I kill someone for no reason? Besides, if he uses his position to hide his identity, I definitely won’t be able to find him.” Lin Hao stared at Chu Rujun with a surprised look, the oppressive aura from before completely dissipated.
