Unknowingly, a sheen of sweat had appeared on Yang Qingying's forehead. She had dared to come precisely because she felt secure, but she hadn't expected her little tricks to be completely transparent to the other party.
The Lin family could find out about a yoga training class she attended abroad so quickly.
This kind of strength and background was truly terrifying…
“Su Chen…”
Yang Qingying tugged at Su Chen’s hand, hoping he would say a few words for her. To her surprise, Su Chen flung her hand away, completely ignoring her.
At this point, Zhang Yingrong also stopped speaking. Although she admired and liked her son’s girlfriend very much, her origins had to be proper first. If she was approaching her son with ulterior motives, it was absolutely unacceptable.
“What, Miss Yang can’t explain?”
“You should know the consequences of deceiving our Lin family.”
“I… I’m telling you I’m sincere… do you believe me?”
Hearing this, Lin Yan felt like laughing.
“If my information is correct, you contacted Su Chen right after returning from traveling abroad, didn’t you? Forget it, I can’t manage this. Su Chen, you deal with it yourself. Your sister and I still need to eat.”
Lin Yan handed the choice over to Su Chen. Su Chen remained silent at first, then nodded and pulled his girlfriend out.
Having just returned from traveling abroad to contact Su Chen, her intentions were already obvious: she was after a wealthy husband. Although Su Chen wasn’t a second-generation rich kid, his current status could easily surpass eighty percent of the rich second-generation kids in Kyoto.
The door closed, and the family continued their lively meal.
“Do you think there won’t be any problems with this?”
After taking a bite of roasted lamb, Su Mojin whispered into Lin Yan’s ear.
“He’s a grown man now, it shouldn’t be a big problem.”
Lin Yan had confidence in Su Chen. Su Chen was a relatively rational person and probably not the type to be blinded by love.
About thirty minutes later, Su Chen returned, his expression not very good, clearly having had a big argument with Yang Qingying.
“Xiao Yan, why don’t you help Su Chen find a girlfriend? People’s hearts are too unpredictable these days. There are even places that specifically train women to catch rich husbands.”
After hearing Su Chen’s explanation, Zhang Yingrong was startled. It was the first time she had heard of such an institution; it was unheard of before. It was too frightening. What was the difference between this and a scam?
As a very traditional woman, Zhang Yingrong was truly frightened by such a place. What was the difference between this and the courtesans of ancient times? To be educated and then go to seduce men, the thought itself was disgusting.
“Uh… Mom, don’t worry. If there’s someone suitable, I’ll definitely help contact them.”
Lin Yan hadn’t expected to take on the role of a matchmaker. It was somewhat interesting; he hadn’t done this before.
However, matchmaking still depended on the mutual affection between the two parties. They had to be satisfied, and it wasn’t an easy task. Fortunately, Su Chen was still young, no need to rush.
The lamb, roasted to a sizzling perfection by Su Hongyun, was quickly half-finished. The remaining half was too much to eat, so Su Hongyun packed it up for later. Although lamb roasted by someone who wasn’t a professional chef wasn’t exceptionally delicious, it had a rustic flavor, a unique charm.
In the afternoon, when Lin Yan and Su Mojin came out to build a snowman, they learned from Li Wei that Yang Qingying had already been taken away. Lin Yan was quite satisfied with this; if you don’t cut ties decisively, you’ll be plagued by them.
The snow in the Northeast was as cold as ever. The two only managed to push the lower half of a snowman before scurrying back into the room.
“Phew, it’s so cold.”
Su Mojin’s small hands were red from the cold, and her two plump legs trembled slightly as she pressed them together. As a native of Shanghai, she lacked experience with the snowy weather in the Northeast; winters there were truly frigid.
Lin Yan reached out and held Su Mojin’s hands, gently blowing warm air on them.
“I’ll find you some gloves later.”
Seeing the little girl’s flushed face and shivering from the cold, Lin Yan asked Aunt Yun to find a pair of cotton gloves and brought them over, carefully putting them on Su Mojin.
With the gloves on and warmed by the indoor heating, Su Mojin quickly regained her energy and pulled Lin Yan out to finish their previous task.
To prevent his little girl from catching a cold, Lin Yan thoroughly bundled Su Mojin up this time, with scarves and padded jackets, making her look a bit bulky when she walked.
Outside, the snow was still falling heavily, and the biting cold wind blew against them.
“Husband, quick, we’re almost done with just one more ball.”
Su Mojin squatted on the ground and began to roll snowballs with her gloves. Although the little girl wasn’t from the Northeast, she was quite skilled at making snowballs. She started with a small ball and then slowly rolled it on the ground, gradually making it bigger. The snow by the entrance was untouched, pure white like jade, perfect for building a snowman.
Working together, their efficiency was surprisingly high. However, just as they were about to finish, the clumsy Lin Yan accidentally stepped on and crushed the snowball they had built.
“Ah! What are you doing? My snowball, Lin Yan, you pay for it!”
Su Mojin picked up a small snowball and, quite angry, threw it at Lin Yan. Her hard-earned masterpiece had been destroyed by Lin Yan’s foot.
Lin Yan felt a chill on his neck. When he turned around, a lot of snow had gotten into his collar, and a wave of coldness swept down his back. Even Lin Yan couldn’t help but gasp.
Seeing Lin Yan’s pained expression, Su Mojin forgot to laugh and immediately came over to help him brush off his clothes.
“Phew, so cold!”
“Lin Yan, you’re repaying kindness with enmity.”
“What enmity? This is me getting revenge.”
Taking advantage of Su Mojin’s proximity, Lin Yan gently touched her delicate little face with his gloved hand. The little girl immediately gasped from the cold.
After playing for nearly an hour, the two finally managed to build the snowman. It was a bit crooked and not particularly attractive.
“Why is it so ugly?”
Su Mojin pouted, not satisfied with her creation.
“Maybe it thinks the same thing, that you made it so ugly.”
“Don’t say that. It’s all your fault. If it weren’t for you, mine would have been beautiful.”
Lin Yan was inexplicably blamed.
After wiping down the swing seats, the two sat on them and began to sway gently. Next to the swing was the small snowman they had built.
Sitting on the swing and looking at the scenery below, Su Mojin suddenly had an idea.
“Husband, wait a moment, I’ll go get a camera.”
Why not capture such beautiful scenery?
After Su Mojin went inside, Lin Yan’s phone vibrated slightly, and a message arrived.
