"Mom, I've said it several times, but you just won't listen," Lin Bingbing said coldly.
Mother Lin, aware of her own shortcomings, muttered softly, "Who would know he has a background with that appearance? If he had dressed better, I wouldn't have misjudged him."
Hearing her mother's murmurs, Lin Bingbing shook her head with a bitter smile. She felt utterly disappointed in this family.
Upon entering the room, Shi Shengguang quickly invited Jiang Chen to sit down and personally made tea for him. On the luxurious European-style sofa, only Jiang Chen was seated while everyone else stood.
Jiang Chen's gaze casually swept across the room and landed on Shi Xindi. The young man trembled; he had heard his family speak of Jiang Chen, a figure so formidable that even their ancestors held him in awe. How could Shi Xindi not be afraid?
"Jiang, Mr. Jiang..." Seeing Jiang Chen looking at him, Shi Xindi forced a smile that was more painful than crying and called out with a trembling voice.
"I heard you want to marry Bingbing?" Jiang Chen asked.
"I-I..." Shi Xindi's legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground, too frightened to speak.
Shi Xindi's reaction startled Lin Bingbing's family. Jiang Chen had merely asked a casual question, yet the arrogant Shi Xindi was reduced to this state. Who exactly was Jiang Chen? Lin Bingbing's family was dumbfounded and terrified; after all, they had been quite rude to him before.
If the Shi Family couldn't afford to offend Jiang Chen, how could they?
Seeing this, Shi Shengguang kicked his son and scolded, "You think you're worthy of Miss Lin? You're just a lazy frog dreaming of eating swan meat. I never agreed to this marriage from the start, but you wouldn't listen. Hurry up and apologize to Miss Lin. If she doesn't forgive you, you can stay down there."
Shi Shengguang was clever; he knew it was better to plead for Lin Bingbing's forgiveness than Jiang Chen's.
After all, Lin Bingbing was just an ordinary person, while someone of Jiang Chen's caliber was unpredictable.
Hearing his father's words, Shi Xindi quickly turned to Lin Bingbing with a pitiful expression full of regret that could move anyone.
Seeing Shi Xindi about to bow his head in apology, Lin Bingbing felt awkward and quickly said, "I-I forgive you; please don't kneel."
"Since Bingbing has forgiven you, you can get up," Jiang Chen said lightly. The Shi Family's attitude was acceptable, so he decided not to pursue the matter further.
Shi Xindi felt as if he had narrowly escaped death. After standing up, he felt a chill run down his back; he knew well that if Jiang Chen wanted to kill him, even his family wouldn't dare oppose it.
Seeing that Jiang Chen wasn't going to hold a grudge over this incident, Shi Shengguang quickly changed the subject to move past it entirely.
"Mr. Jiang, my ancestor often speaks highly of you. If he knew you were here, he would be very pleased. Why don't you come by and see him?" Shi Shengguang suggested.
"I came this time specifically to meet your ancestor. Let's go now," Jiang Chen replied with a faint smile.
"Then I'll take you there," Shi Shengguang said.
Jiang Chen nodded in agreement.
“I have something to take care of first, I’ll see you later,” Jiang Chen said to Lin Bingbing.
“Okay,” Lin Bingbing replied obediently, nodding her head.
Jiang Chen and Shi Shengguang left the hotel and headed to the seaside villa of the Shyr family. As for Lin Bingbing’s family, Jiang Chen couldn’t be bothered to pay them any attention.
Once Jiang Chen was gone, Shi Xindi slumped onto the sofa with a sigh of relief, while Shi Ning circled around Lin Bingbing, her expression one of shock.
“Sister Bingbing, I didn’t expect you to be Mr. Jiang’s girlfriend! If you had told us earlier, my second brother wouldn’t dare to lay a finger on you even if he had a thousand times the courage,” Shi Ning exclaimed.
