The phone fell to the ground with a loud thud, and the screen cracked. Glancing at the phone with its broken screen, Lin Xinyan’s face turned grimmer, as she turned to look at the woman and said coldly, “I’ve explained to you, but you don’t believe me. What else can I do? Are you going to keep grabbing me like this?”
The woman still did not let go of her hand. “How am l supposed to trust you?”
After all, only those with very close relationships could physically touch each other. Considering that her daughter was so naive, she was of course afraid that her daughter would be bullied.
Lin Xinyan pointed at the phone on the ground. “I’ll call my husband to come over. Is that enough proof?”
The woman hesitated, still feeling worried. “What if you simply ask someone to pose as your husband?”
Lin Xinyan was rendered speechless.
Finding her totally unreasonable, Lin Xinyan was on the brink of a meltdown, as she could not get through to this woman at all.
Judging from the way she dresses, she’s also a person of some standing. How can she act like some unreasonable shrews?
Meanwhile, Zhou Chunchun tugged at her mother’s arm. “Mom, don’t be like this. People are staring.”
The woman didn’t look around as, compared to the embarrassment she suffered, she thought that the happiness of her daughter was more important and could not be destroyed by another woman.
As Zhou Chunchun couldn’t stop her mother, she secretly sent a message to Bai Yinning.
“Are you going to just keep your hold on me like this?” Lin Xinyan’s clenched fists were trembling slightly, while her chest was heaving heavily. She would have violently pushed the woman away if it weren’t for her current physical condition.
She’s simply unreasonable!
“Why did you still want to marry your daughter to Bai Yinning when you don’t even trust him? How can you just suspect any woman you meet? Won’t you feel tired? How long can you watch over your daughter? Can you watch over her forever? What should she do one day when you’re gone?”
Calming herself, Lin Xinyan tried to suppress her anger, and said, trying to talk some sense into the woman, “I think there must also be something about Bai Yinning that you like when you marry your daughter to him. Since your daughter is already married to him, you should try to have faith in his character, instead of being so suspicious all the time. If Bai Yinning knew what happened today, what would he think of you?”
The woman was bereft of speechless. When she married her daughter to Bai Yinning, she really liked him, while her husband was extremely satisfied with him.
She was also very pleased that her innocent daughter was able to marry Bai Yinning. Indeed, marrying her daughter to Bai Yinning meant that she had to believe that he could take good care of her. She could watch over her daughter now, but not forever.
If Bai Yinning were a fickle man, she could not hold him still either.
The woman began to show signs of relenting. “You really have nothing to do with Bai Yinning?”
Lin Xinyan looked at the woman with a very calm expression. “I can ask my husband to bring along the marriage certificate to show you, is that okay?”
The woman straightened up her neck and let go of her wrist. “Make the call then.”
Lin Xinyan sighed. When she was about to bend over to pick up the phone, Zhou Chunchun first stooped to pick up her phone and handed it over, “I don’t think it’s very convenient for you.”
She looked at the broken screen and said a little apologetically, “My mom didn’t mean it. I can compensate you.”
Lin Xinyan looked up at Zhou Chunchun. She was really a very good girl. She was so well protected by her parents that she had never seen the darkness in the world, and seemed to be kind to everyone she met.
She reached out to take the phone that Zhou Chunchun handed over, and said, “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. My mom is so excited because she cares about me, but I believe that Yinning will not lie to me, and I also believe that you’re a good person,” Zhou Chunchun said seriously.
Lin Xinyan previously thought it was a pity that Bai Yinning married Zhou Chunchun. Now it seemed that it was his blessing instead.
If he treated this girl badly, she wanted to berate him and even beat him up.
She’s such a good girl. If he’s just taking advantage of her family background to achieve the purpose of growing his career, he’ll be too despicable.
“Why don’t you make the call? Are you lying to me?” urged the woman after seeing Lin Xinyan did not make the call, and thinking that she was lying to her.
Lin Xinyan didn’t look at the woman. Although she liked Zhou Chunchun, she really couldn’t bring herself to like this woman. It was not wrong for the woman to care about and protect her daughter, but she couldn’t accept that the woman stopped her from leaving indiscriminately.
The woman was too difficult. If she didn’t explain clearly today, she might not be able to leave. Although she didn’t really want Zong Jinghao to come, she still slid to unlock her phone screen to call him, but the phone screen was broken, which made it a little hard for her to use her phone.
However, Lin Xinyan didn’t know that the driver who was waiting for her outside saw her being pestered by a woman through the glass window, and had already contacted Zong Jinghao.
A black car stopped in front of the entrance of the mall, and the car door soon opened. A tall man with a pair of slender legs in trousers stepped out of the car and walked into the mall.
At the same time, another car stopped and Bai Yinning got out of the car with the help of Gao Yuan.
Seeing Zong Jinghao, he greeted first, “Mr. Zong.”
Zong Jinghao stopped in his tracks, and looked back at Bai Yinning, but did not respond, as he continued to walk steadily toward the place the driver said.
Bai Yinning also followed inside, and soon arrived at the lingerie shop.
The staff in the shop was just watching on the sidelines, and did not come forward to dissuade the women, nor did she ask them to leave. She thought that this would attract customers.
Seeing Zong Jinghao approaching, the driver greeted him and said, “Mrs. Zong came to buy something, but she’s pestered by a woman.”
“Because of what?” Zong Jinghao asked as he walked.
The driver replied truthfully, “I was not there at the time. I didn’t know exactly why. I just saw the woman grabbed Mrs. Zong’s arm and refused to let her go.”
With a cold look on his face, Zong Jinghao walked into the lingerie shop and saw Lin Xinyan standing inside looking at the phone. Actually, Lin Xinyan was trying to call him, but her cracked screen made it a little harder to use her phone. He walked over and asked, “What’s going on?”
Looking up and seeing that it was him, Lin Xinyan was so happy that she wanted to rush up and hug him as if she had seen her savior.
Yet, she controlled her impulse and didn’t step forward to hug him. Instead, she held his arm affectionately, as if she were doing it for the woman, so that she could see clearly that she had a husband.
Lin Xinyan leaned on Zong Jinghao and said weakly, “I’m very tired. Please explain to this lady about our relationship.”
Zong Jinghao was perplexed.
Why do I need to explain our relationship?
What is happening?
Although the woman didn’t go out to socialize much, everyone in B City knew Zong Jinghao, and she was no exception, but she had never heard of him being married.
She started to panic, realizing that she might have really misunderstood Lin Xinyan.
She was at a loss for words for a while.
“Yinning.” At this time, Bai Yinning came in. Zhou Chunchun ran over to push him in his wheelchair. Before Bai Yinning asked her, she started to say, “Mom seems to have misunderstood the relationship between you and Xinyan, so she stopped her from leaving. You should go and explain to my mom.”
Hearing Zhou Chunchun’s words, Zong Jinghao had also figured out why Lin Xinyan was pestered by the woman. His face clouded over as he scoffed, “How annoying.”
Knowing the reason, Bai Yinning also wore a displeased look on his face, and asked in a low voice, “What’s the matter?”
Otherwise, Mrs. Zhou would not have misunderstood Lin Xinyan’s relationship with him for no reason.
Zhou Chunchun recalled what had happened and replied, “It seems that my mom is upset since I said that you’ve touched Xinyan’s belly.”
Bai Yinning instantly understood what was going on.
After he came over, he first apologized to Lin Xinyan, “I’m sorry to cause you trouble.”
Lin Xinyan didn’t look up at him, as she was really upset deep down. No one would still be in a good mood after being accused of being a mistress, stopped from leaving, and getting judged by the crowd.
“You don’t need to say sorry to me. You should explain to your wife and mother-in-law first.”
“Mom, this is Mr. Zong’s wife, Ms. Lin. We know each other and have a good relationship. I was rude last time and made you misunderstand.” Bai Yinning was expressionless on the surface, but he was also very displeased deep down. Obviously, Mrs. Zhou didn’t trust him.
Otherwise, she would not have accused Lin Xinyan of being a mistress and pestered her so relentlessly.
Mrs. Zhou was a little embarrassed. She didn’t expect Bai Yinning to come. She turned around and glanced at her daughter, knowing that it must be her daughter who had informed Bai Yinning. She couldn’t help but sigh, finding her daughter foolish.
But it was her daughter’s personality, and she was reluctant to scold her, so she could only put up with it.
She did not expect Lin Xinyan’s husband to be Zong Jinghao either.
She forced a smile. “I’m sorry that I’ve misunderstood.”
