Return To The Past: I Won't Choose Humility This Time!

Chapter 75 Sin

“Now that I’m engaged to Yun Xi, I don’t need to get to know any other ladies. It’s only fair for us and those ladies.”

Zhou Lin saw that Qian Yun was still unwilling to give up. For the first time, he opened his mouth and said so much to her. It was just to give his beloved person a sense of security.

Qian Yun was furious when she heard that.

‘Could it be that these two men of the Zhou family are big lovers? Why are they all smitten by these two unworldly village girls of the Yun Family? Zhou Mo is still young, so I won’t bother with him, but how can Zhou Lin, who has always been calm and collected, become so muddle-headed?’

“Ah, I didn’t say much. I just thought that since you’re all young people, I’ll introduce you to a few more friends. More friends, more

paths.”

Qian Yun began to take another approach again.

“There’s no need for that. If you’re concerned about marriage, think more about Ah Mo.”

Zhou Lin mercilessly rejected Qian Yun.

Qian Yun was choked to the point that she could not speak. Her face was flushed red, but she still did not want to give up the benefits of a military-commercial marriage. She wanted to try to wake Zhou Lin up from another angle and get the two village girls of the Yun family to quickly get out of the Zhou family.

“Zhou Lin, you don’t have to be so dead-set when you’re still alive. I heard from Pingping that the daughter of the Lu family is not only fair-skinned and beautiful, but she also speaks fluent English with her grandfather, a diplomat, since she was young. She has translated many books at a young age. When you carry out missions, some of the documents are also in English. With such a good wife by your side, what a happy thing it would be!”

Qian Yun crazily listed out the advantages of the Lu family’s daughter and applied them to the benefits that were truly useful to Zhou Lin.

“She’s not like the little girls from the remote countryside, who clearly can’t help with anything but still want to stay here and freeload. Relying on the friendship of the older generation, they really think highly of themselves.”

When Qian Yun said those words, her eyes inadvertently glanced at the Yun sisters.

Yun Xi originally did not want to cause trouble in the Zhou family’s old residence, but since others were bullying her, she was not the kind of person who was afraid of trouble.

She snorted coldly and said to Qian Yun, “Madam Qian, I respect you as half an elder, so I don’t want to speak too harshly to you.”

Why did she only consider Qian Yun as half an elder? It was because according to Zhou Lin, she and Qian Yun could be considered people of the same generation. After all, her relationship with Zhou Lin was not protected by the law yet, so she should also call Qian Yun an aunt.

“I don’t know where you get such a sense of superiority from. You think that people who live in the city are better than those who live in the countryside. Although I don’t have a grandfather who’s a diplomat or a rich father, I’m not completely useless with no merits.”

Yun Xi’s gaze was especially straightforward, and her neither servile nor overbearing attitude made Grandpa Zhou especially satisfied with this daughter-in-law-to-be.

“My grandfather was a village doctor, and I learned a lot of herbal knowledge from him since I was young. I’ve also been following up on Ah Lin’s leg injury. No one is perfect. I can’t help him translate the English materials, but I can spare him the worry of his body being in pain. How can you say that I’m a freeloader?”

Qian Yun did not expect this village girl to be so eloquent. However, she was not convinced by the girl’s words. In her deep-rooted thoughts, it was a sin to have no money or power. She still snorted disdainfully, expressing that she did not agree with the village girl’s views.

“Madam Qian, the marriage between Zhou Lin and I was decided by the elders of the Zhou family and the Yun family. The two of us have mutual feelings. Who are you to question our relationship? I advise you to know your limitations and place!”

Yun Xi’s last sentence made Qian Yun flush red.

Old Master Zhou revealed a very satisfied smile. He believed that only a girl who was neither servile nor overbearing and had good manners could be married to Zhou Lin. It had something to do with a person’s character and not the person’s background.
