The reason she urged the Qin family to quickly get the two children married as soon as her daughter turned eighteen was because Lin Chuqiu would occasionally pester her during those months.
She would say that Qin Mo was a full seven years older than Lin Banxia, in the prime of his youth, and on top of that, Qin Mo was very outstanding, receiving awards at the research institute every year, was very handsome, and had such a good family background. Any woman would be smitten!
If they didn’t get married soon, what if some random person came along one day and used underhanded tactics to snatch Qin Mo away? Wouldn’t their Lin family and Lin Banxia miss out on such a good marriage for nothing?!
Liu Meiyun’s original plan was to keep her daughter by her side for a few more years, at least until she turned twenty, but Lin Chuqiu’s constant instigation swayed her.
The day after her daughter’s eighteenth birthday, she sent a telegram to the Qin family.
The Qin family had long been hoping for Qin Mo to get married soon, so they agreed to her urging without a second word.
At that time, Qin Mo was working on a crucial research project. Qin Jianguo asked Qin Mo to take some time off to submit the marriage report, and all the subsequent marriage procedures were handled by the Qin family through connections. The Lin family only needed to send Lin Banxia’s household registration book.
This marriage was thus settled!
It could be said that without Lin Chuqiu’s instigation, Lin Banxia would not have become a widow right after getting married!
When the news of Qin Mo becoming a vegetative state came, Liu Meiyun didn’t recall Lin Chuqiu’s strange behavior. However, Lin Chuqiu’s actions at the Chengdu train station made Liu Meiyun feel that something was amiss.
Then, the more she thought about it, the more something felt wrong, and she became even more convinced that Lin Chuqiu was likely targeting Lin Banxia.
Therefore, when Liu Meiyun suddenly saw Lin Chuqiu’s letter, her expression immediately soured.
Lin Banxia didn’t have many memories of this cousin. The original host’s memories were also scarce. As for the incident at the Chengdu train station, Lin Banxia had already automatically disregarded it.
Unimportant matters didn’t need to be kept in mind.
But it was different for Luo Gang. Upon hearing Lin Chuqiu’s name, his eyes widened.
This woman still dared to send a letter? How thick-skinned could she be?
He was at the Chengdu train station at the time and personally saw a man with slicked-back hair holding a bouquet of flowers, kneeling in front of Lin Banxia. He first said a bunch of mushy words that he didn’t want to remember, but the last part of his speech he would never forget.
The greasy man said, “Banxia, I know your partner has become a vegetable, and might die any day. But I’m different. I’m healthy, and I can give you everything you want! Please marry me!”
Hearing these words, Luo Gang was furious!
That damned greasy man, how dare he curse their young master!
He had already rolled up his sleeves, ready to teach the greasy man a lesson, when he heard Lin Banxia say, “Chen Zhiguo, do you know who my husband is?”
“My husband is a key member of the Beijing Research Institute! He fell into a coma from working day and night to make the country stronger! As his wife, I am incredibly proud of his actions and how could I abandon him at a time like this!”
“And you, as an intellectual, dare to curse my husband, a researcher who dedicates himself to the country and its people? Have you lost your conscience? Your actions are not only destroying someone else’s marriage, but also disrespecting talent, and even disrespecting the country!”
“Even if you didn’t know my husband was a researcher, saying these words and doing these things while I’m still married is enough to show your moral corruption! I would never be with someone like you who lacks morals!”
“Get lost! Don’t let me see you again!”
Hearing Lin Banxia’s words, Luo Gang’s anger subsided. Seeing the greasy man completely deflated made him even happier.
As a result, the woman named Lin Chuqiu stepped forward and inexplicably accused Lin Banxia.
Lin Chuqiu was wearing a white dress, looking like she was standing up for justice.
Her gaze towards Lin Banxia was full of disapproval, while her gaze towards Chen Zhiguo, who was still kneeling on the ground, was filled with heartache.
“Banxia, Zhiguo was your high school classmate, and he took good care of you for all three years of high school.”
“He secretly liked you for so many years and wanted to confess after high school, but he suddenly found out you were married.”
“He was greatly impacted by this, became sad and dejected every day, and regretted not confessing his feelings to you sooner.”
“But even so, he didn’t come to cause trouble for you! He silently wished you well!”
“And you? After receiving his care for three years, you turned around and married another man? Did you consider his feelings?”
“Now, he only found out your partner became a vegetable and doesn’t want you to be a widow in Beijing, so he’s pursuing you even at the risk of being scolded!”
“He’s gone to such lengths for you, but what did you just say? That he’s morally corrupt? That he disrespects the country and talent?”
“Are you truly being fair to Zhiguo’s sincerity and efforts by doing this? You are truly disappointing!”
“Zhiguo, let’s go!”
Lin Chuqiu, after a self-righteous outburst, glared fiercely at Lin Banxia and then helped the distraught Chen Zhiguo leave the train station.
All the onlookers at the train station, who had witnessed everything, stood with their mouths agape, watching the two figures slowly depart, deeply shaken.
They had truly witnessed such a thick-skinned and self-righteous person.
As the saying goes, there are all sorts of people in the world.
Lin Banxia, after hearing Lin Chuqiu’s words, simply looked at Liu Meiyun blankly and asked the questions that were bothering her.
“Mom, I don’t remember Chen Zhiguo taking care of me for all three years of high school?”
“His unrequited love and his sadness have nothing to do with me, right?”
“Chen Zhiguo cursed my husband and tried to break us up, and I’m not allowed to scold him?”
“And what does Lin Chuqiu have to do with all this?”
“Is she out of her mind?”
Meanwhile, in the research institute’s family quarters in Beijing, Lin Banxia, after reading Lin Chuqiu’s letter, said the same thing.
“Is she out of her mind?”
Liu Meiyun’s expression was also somewhat indescribable.
It was indeed hard to understand…
Who writes a letter to talk about their daily dating life?
She said that on the day they left Chengdu, she kissed Chen Zhiguo, finally moved him, and they decided to be together.
She said she hoped Lin Banxia wouldn’t mind, she just felt too sorry for Chen Zhiguo and couldn’t bear to see such a good man heartbroken, which led her to act so impulsively.
After confirming their relationship, she said they had been inseparable for the past few days, watching movies together, strolling together, cooking together, and…
She said she was very happy with Chen Zhiguo now, but she really hoped to get Lin Banxia’s blessing…
The letter was filled with pink bubbles and a white lotus aura.
But what did these things have to do with her?
Moreover, if Lin Banxia remembered correctly, she had only left Chengdu three or four days ago.
It took at least three days for a letter to be mailed from Chengdu to Beijing.
And she received the letter today, which meant Lin Chuqiu mailed it the same day they boarded the train.
Although she didn’t know where she got the address from, the later content in the letter was clearly false…
She was writing about things that hadn’t even happened yet?
She really was out of her mind!
Lin Banxia directly threw the letter back to Luo Gang, waved her hand impatiently, and said, “You brought the letter back, so it’s up to you to handle it. Please throw it away for me!”
Luo Gang silently looked at the letter in his hand and discreetly put it in his pocket.
“Yes, young madam.”
One was a greasy man who wanted to steal the young master’s wife, and the other was a thick-skinned woman who inexplicably accused the young madam. When the young master wakes up, he should be shown this, so he can feel a greater sense of crisis.
