Chapter 192: Settlement of Accounts after Autumn
Ling Xiaolei also tactfully shut his mouth.
They ate the food their father prepared for them. Although it was not as delicious as what their mother cooked, it still had its own flavor. And today their father rode his motorcycle to take them to school, which still attracted a lot of attention.
"Xiao Mao, your mother was so beautiful yesterday, and our family received a lot of wedding candies!" Erya showed off to Ling Zhuoqun excitedly.
"The day before yesterday, an uncle came to see Aunt Luo Luo and gave me a candy, but then he disappeared. I told my mother about this, but she told me not to tell anyone else."
Erya blinked her big innocent eyes and said.
"But you are not someone else, you are Aunt Luoluo's child, I think I can still tell you."
"And I saw that man yesterday, on the street on my way home, at the entrance of the third alley." When Erya said this, she didn't realize how much trouble she would get into.
……
On the day of returning home, Ling Zhuoqun first sent the two brothers to school, then brought cigarettes, alcohol and tea, and visited Lin Weiguo and Cheng Yuzhu.
When Cheng Yuzhu saw Li Luo, she found that her daughter was a little different from usual. There was a bit more charm in her every move. Then, seeing Ling Zhuoqun being so cautious towards Li Luo, Cheng Yuzhu felt so embarrassed that she couldn't bear to watch it.
However, Lin Weiguo was not so cunning. Seeing his son-in-law taking meticulous care of his daughter, he accepted Ling Zhuoqun from the bottom of his heart.
Normally, Li Luo was supposed to stay at the Lin family for one night. Ling Zhuoqun stayed there until Ling Xiaoguang and the others got out of school. He couldn't help but keep his eyes on Li Luo. Even the separation of just half a day was unbearable for him.
Li Luo couldn't help but hold her forehead. Are all men so clingy after marriage? Why didn't she see it before?
After Ling Zhuoqun left, there was another knock on the door. Li Luo thought that Ling Zhuoqun had forgotten to take something, so she opened the door with a smile. However, the smile froze on her face and then slowly turned cold.
"It's you. Why are you here? This is not your home, and you are not welcome here." After saying that, Li Luo was about to close the door and send the guest away.
"Li Luo, you're already married, why don't you let me go? Ling Zhuoqun gave you another 10,000 yuan as a betrothal gift, don't think I don't know." Lin Ge put his hand in the crack of the door to prevent Li Luo from closing it.
"How much money Ling Zhuoqun gives me has nothing to do with you?" Li Luo raised his eyelids and said coldly.
"Since Ling Zhuoqun has given you the money, why are you still not willing to let me go? Didn't you say you won't pursue the matter of the 5,000 yuan? Do you really need the 5,000 yuan?"
Lin Ge was in an aggressive manner. Even though everything he said was unreasonable, he still insisted on being justified.
After listening to Lin Ge's outrageous speech, Li Luo almost questioned his own worldview: Is this the way the heroine in the book thinks? She doesn't think that all the money in the world belongs to her alone, does she?
Li Luo smiled: "So? Are you saying that the five thousand yuan is yours?"
"Why not? Ling Zhuoqun gave me the money because he liked me, so the money should have been mine. Why should I pay it back?" Lin Ge's chest heaved up and down, and he was obviously very angry.
"Oh, it should have been yours in the first place, why do you have to 'return' it? Lin Ge, don't you think your words are contradictory? Since you think the money is yours, why do you still need to use the word 'return'?" "Doesn't this prove that in your heart, it is not legitimate to take this money? Did Ling Zhuoqun give you 5,000 yuan because you are pretty, or did he give you 5,000 yuan because you agreed to marry him?"
"These two have different essential meanings." Li Luo earnestly began to educate Lin Ge: "A great man once said that any affection that is not for the purpose of marriage is hooliganism."
"So, by this calculation, does Miss Lin count as having committed the crime of hooliganism?" Li Luo curled the corners of his mouth and said sarcastically.
"Li Luo, you are very eloquent and I can't argue with you. However, your charge of hooliganism is a bit far-fetched, isn't it?" Lin Ge said gritting his teeth.
It was only after she heard Qi Liancheng's words yesterday that she realized that Li Luo was already married and had received a betrothal gift of 10,000 yuan.
This was a treatment she had never received in her previous life. Li Luo was already so rich, why was he still staring at her five thousand yuan? She had fallen into this situation today because Li Luo owed her!
Moreover, if she had not agreed to this marriage, the Li Luo family would not have caught Ling Zhuoqun, a wealthy son-in-law. In the final analysis, it was the Lin family who should thank her. The five thousand yuan could be regarded as a matchmaker's fee, which she could afford.
"Since you want so much, then let the Qi family give it to you. Why are you thinking about the 5,000 yuan betrothal gift my husband gave you?"
"Just because of the eighteen years you owe me!" Lin Ge was provoked by Li Luo and was almost hysterical. He pushed Li Luo without saying a word.
Unexpectedly, the next second, Lin Ge's hand was clamped by Ling Zhuoqun.
"My woman. How dare you attack her?" Ling Zhuoqun stared at Lin Ge coldly, as if he wanted to eat her alive.
After meeting Ling Zhuoqun, Lin Ge, who had been so arrogant, no longer dared to act domineeringly in front of Li Luo.
"Ms. Lin Ge, if you still firmly believe that I forced you to pay the five thousand dollars, then I don't mind letting the police investigate. After all, the money came from me, so I can file a lawsuit."
"You were the one who wanted to cancel the engagement in the first place, and your parents also said they would return the betrothal money to me. I have witnesses and testimonies. Miss Lin, are you sure you want to come and sort it out?" Ling Zhuoqun said calmly.
Now, Lin Ge had no reason to refute anymore. He could only look at Li Luo and then at Ling Zhuoqun. The doubts in his heart grew bigger and bigger.
When did they become so close? They knew each other's thoughts with just a glance.
But what about her and Qi Liancheng? Apart from quarrels, there was no sign of marriage, and the pregnancy incident had not been exposed to Qi Liancheng.
However, she wanted to marry into the Qi family as soon as possible, so she came to Li Luo to discuss this matter.
But after hearing Qi Liancheng say that Li Luo received 11,000 yuan, he became even more reluctant to give the 5,000 yuan to Li Luo. He even thought about the 10,000 yuan that Ling Zhuoqun gave to Li Luo.
If I had married Ling Zhuoqun, the ten thousand yuan would have been mine. Unfortunately, there are some things that have no ifs. Once something is lost, it is lost forever.
"In short, this matter does not have a perfect ending, and I will keep pursuing it." Ling Zhuoqun's words were loud and clear. Li Luo and Ling Zhuoqun looked at each other with happy smiles on their faces.
