Chapter 277: Itâs⊠Her?
âThen, I am leavingâŠâ said Lin Zhiyun as she stood up. But when she walked to the door, she suddenly remembered something and turned around to tell Yang Ming, âOh yeah, there was something I lied to you about⊠My name isnât Shen LinâŠâ
âOh.â Yang Ming didnât take it seriously. He nodded and continued to eat. She didnât know who he was at first. It was normal for her to tell him a fake name, isnât it a girlâs natural tendency to protect herself? Yang Ming didnât give it a second thought.
âActually, my real name is Lin Zhiyun. Donât make a mistake tonight!â Lin Zhiyun reminded him. âThen I will leave first!â
âEn, goodbye.â Yang Ming nodded.
Lin Zhiyun, this name sounds quite nice. Why was it so familiar?
âLin Zhiyun, Lin Zhiyun⊠What? Lin Zhiyun!â Yang Mingâs chopsticks fell to the ground with a pak sound, She⊠is Lin Zhiyun?
Yang Ming was completely dumbfounded. That was really shocking news. Yang Ming almost fell to the ground.
Lin Zhiyun, this was such a familiar name. At that time, Yang Ming was looking for her. He didnât expect that this Shen Lin beside him was actually Lin Zhiyun!
Yang Ming had finally understood why Lin Zhiyun wanted to help him and told Chen Fei that she was his girlfriend! Everything came from the three thousand yuan that he gave to her to save her father!
Probably, Lin Zhiyun felt that Yang Ming was just taking what he deserved! Thinking of this, Yang Ming could not help but feel ashamed! I just thought that Lin Zhiyun was a silly girl who played one-night stands. d.a.m.n it!
But why didnât Lin Zhiyun tell me the truth? I guess she didnât intend to talk about it even now? Also, the only reason that I knew her name was Lin Zhiyun was that of my relations.h.i.+p with Chen Fei! Lin Zhiyun could be thinking that I didnât really know it was her!
She was really a good girl, and yet I still misunderstood her! It has been such a long time. If it wasnât because of this incident, then Lin Zhiyun may not have any conversation with me.
For a girl, this required a lot of courage and the willingness to be put under strong pressure! Yang Ming really wanted to give himself a big slap. She was such a good girl. Not only did he not treasure her, he misunderstood her!
But it was such a pity. Pretty girl Lin was simply so unlucky! Yang Ming recalled his experience with her. She had always been so unlucky, but her strong and unyielding character had never bowed down to life!
If it had been someone else, she could totally use this incident to blackmail me! However, although Lin Zhiyun knew that I had money, she never asked from me before. This showed that she didnât want to rely on others!
Yang Ming regretted and was ashamed of himself. But, there was also some joy in his heart! I finally found her. Well, since there is such a good opportunity now, let me compensate her nicely!
Hehe, it was not hard to tell that Lin Zhiyun was a filial daughter. Therefore, Yang Ming wasnât afraid that Lin Zhiyun would refuse his helping hand to her. Isnât it pretending to be the boyfriend? Well, I will try my best to fulfill the obligations of being a boyfriend!
Lin Zhiyun also knew that he was a fake, but Mother Lin didnât know. Even if I occasionally go and help the Lin family out, Mother Lin wouldnât refuse my help. After all, she thought that Iâm the genuine goods. At that time, even if Lin Zhiyun wanted to oppose it, she canât really say it out loud, can she?
If she said it, wouldnât she expose the lie? Hehehe, Yang Ming thought about it sinisterly. For a relatively strong girl like Lin Zhiyun, Yang Ming had decided to save the country with a curve [1].
Considering Lin Zhiyunâs point of view, Yang Ming thought that the only reason Lin Zhiyun hid these things from him was that she didnât want him to know about these things. So, Yang Ming thought about it and decided not to tell her that he knew the truth.
If things were made clear, then their interactions would be increasingly awkward, and there would be no benefit to either him or Lin Zhiyun! Therefore, Yang Ming decided to use his actual actions to slowly compensate her and make her feel touched.
Only in this way can he resolve the scars in Lin Zhiyunâs heart and make up for the mistakes that he had done to her.
Yang Ming quickly finished eating the rice in the bowl. At this moment, he suddenly felt that the bowl of rice that Lin Zhiyun had eaten before tasted even better than the first bowl he had eaten. But this was mostly just a placebo effect. The Yang Ming at that instant no longer had a cold-shoulder for Lin Zhiyun at all, but rather he wanted to be more intimate with her instead.
But things always had to be gradual. Originally, Yang Ming wanted to meet Lin Zhiyunâs parents just for the sake of doing it. However, now that things had changed, he couldnât be so casual. Leaving a good impression on the mother-in-law signified half of the step toward success already!
As he thought about this, Yang Ming didnât want to continue dilly-dallying at this snack stall! He had to make some preparations! This will be the first time Iâm going to my girlfriendâs house. I canât just go empty-handed!
Yang Ming quickly finished the food on the table and found Aunty Hong for the bill.
âA total of forty-two yuan. Forty is good enough!â Aunty Hong said with a smile.
âHow would that be appropriate? I have some spare change hereâŠâ Yang Ming said as he got the coins for two yuan and handed it to Aunty Hong.
âThis child, why are you so serious?â Aunty Hong smiled and shook her head, âI watched Lin Lin grow up. Iâm not an outsider! I a.s.sume you are her boyfriend?â
âYeah, Aunty Hong, have you seen through it?â Yang Ming smiled and said. Now, Yang Ming was willing to be Lin Zhiyunâs boyfriend.
âHa, how can I not notice it? In all these years, this was the first time Lin Lin took a boy out for dinner. Who would believe it if you say you donât have anything between the two of you? Fortunately, young man, you are more honest. When I asked Lin Lin just now, her face turned red and she said you were not!â said Aunty Hong.
âHehe, girls are shyer!â Yang Ming said with a smile, âWe havenât seen our parents yet, so, of course, she canât admit it.â
Since Aunty Hong was the old neighbor of Lin Zhiyun, she knew more about Lin Zhiyunâs family. Therefore, Yang Ming decided to inquire more about the Lin family from Aunty Hong, such as what things Father Lin or Mother Lin like, or whether they have any hobbies.
âOh? When will you be meeting the parents?â Since the meal time was over, the store wasnât too busy. With a waiter taking care of things, there was nothing much that Aunty Hong had to do. She started chatting with Yang Ming.
âIâm going to Lin Zhiyunâs house tonight.â Yang Ming revealed the matter slightly.
âHaha, itâs time for the son-in-law to meet the mother-in-law. Congratulations, young man.â Aunty Hong knew that the relations.h.i.+p between Lin Zhiyun and Yang Ming was quite solid after hearing this.
âAi ya, what congratulations? This is the first time Iâm meeting them. I donât even know what to buy. Oh yeah, Aunty Hong, do you know what Zhiyunâs parents like?â Yang Ming began to knock and strike sideways [2].
âHehe, why donât you ask Zhiyun about all these things? Why would you need to ask me?â Aunty Hong laughed.
âAunty Hong, you also know Zhiyunâs character. She told me that I donât have to buy anything, but I canât do that! After all, when I go to her home for the first time, how can I be empty-handed?â Yang Ming understood Lin Zhiyunâs character quite well, he was pretty sure that Aunty Hong wonât feel suspicious if he was to put it that way.
âOh, that makes sense. Lin Lin, this child, had not been greedy ever since she was a child.â Aunty Hong nodded and said, âThen I will give you some advice!â
Women at Aunty Hongâs age were naturally more busybody. Many of them liked to be a matchmaker for the young people. Since it was such a rare incident that Yang Ming asked advice from her, she, of course, had to take the opportunity to say it!
âThank you, Aunty Hong!â Yang Ming said happily.
âNo need to be so polite. We may even be neighbors in the future, hehe!â Aunty Hong pulled Yang Ming to an empty table and instructed the waiter to give them two cups of tea. She began to talk incessantly, âLin Zhiyun is really a good girl. Not only is she incredibly filial, but she is also a master at doing housework. In your generation, it is really rare to have such a girl. Whoever married her would be considered lucky!â
âHehe, yeah.â Yang Ming smiled awkwardly.
âLook, I went off the topic. Letâs first talk about Lin Linâs parents. Old Lin doesnât have a fixed job. He now works in security in a hotel. He usually has a hobby of drinking, but you know about Lin Linâs family conditions. There wasnât a lot of money to buy good wine, so he would usually go get some beer from food stalls⊠If you really have the intention, take two bottles of good wine over and Old Lin will definitely be very happy. As for Lin Linâs mother, Sister Shen, sheâs presently doing housework for others. I havenât heard that she has any special preferences. However, which woman doesnât like to be beautiful? Buy a set of skin care products for her!â said Aunty Hong continuously.
âThank you, Aunty Hong. You told me a lot!â Yang Ming said in relief. This saved him a lot of trouble!
âIâm quite free right now. It was just a casual chat.â Aunty Hong nodded.
âThen I will go and prepare now Aunty Hong. I will come back again another day!â Yang Ming thanked her.
âOkay, go ahead young man!â said Aunty Hong as she patted on Yang Mingâs shoulder.
