It wasn't until the deal fell through that I discovered all the young ladies were yanderes.

He refused…

Lin Qingmeng clenched her fists, her gaze becoming deep.

Although Su Yu said he needed more time to think about it, those present basically understood what he meant.

He refused.

The reason he said that was because there were too many people here, and he couldn't refuse directly. He was also afraid that the Lin family would be angry, so he used this way of leaving some room for maneuver.

But not accepting it is a rejection...

The scene fell silent, and everyone held their breath. The music had stopped at some point.

Su Yu's breathing also calmed down. In fact, the best choice at this moment was to accept it, to accept this fate, and to say that we no longer have any conflicts. That would be the best choice.

He will marry into the Lin family.

As for agreeing to their demands now and then going back on them later, Su Yu felt that this was even more terrifying than being forced to refuse them face-to-face.

Because now they've said it out loud, that it's okay even if they refuse, but they haven't said what will happen if they change their minds later.

Su Yu didn't want to marry into the family because it would violate his agreement with Li Qingqing, so he had no choice but to refuse…

Although Su Yu was a little flustered, he was still calmly thinking that if they suddenly turned against him, he would say that he was just joking and that the conflict had been resolved.

Although this might worsen the outcome, at least it would save their lives.

The atmosphere remained awkward for several seconds until Lin Qingmeng's father broke the silence with a hearty laugh.

"Haha, it's alright, it's alright. Young couples, it's normal to have a little disagreement. You two can try to mediate. You're young, it's nothing! You guys have fun, I, this old man, won't bother you anymore."

Su Yu nodded to the two old men.

It seems to be...

Is everything alright?

Surely the Lin family wouldn't embarrass themselves in front of so many prestigious families?

However, he really didn't dare to refute what Lin Qingmeng's father said about the young couple.

He was probably just giving himself a warning, making sure he continued to play the role of Lin Qingmeng's boyfriend at this banquet.

Harmful…

What's the point?

Isn't this unnecessary?

It's necessary, absolutely necessary.

After Lin Qingmeng's father turned around, he glanced at Lin Qingmeng. Lin Qingmeng's expression was very complicated at this moment. A man who knew his woman well would of course understand what she was thinking.

He really dotes on this daughter; he's even willing to play along with her in this charade.

That's the young man...

Sigh, why don't you just obediently marry into the family?

If you choose this path, won't you have to suffer a bit more before becoming my good son-in-law?

Why bother?

Lin Qingmeng's father sighed inwardly.

Of course, you have to continue playing Lin Qingmeng's boyfriend at this banquet, so that your disappearance for a while can be reasonable...

Then Lin Qingmeng can seriously mediate your case. When you get out, won't you still be her boyfriend?

I guess he'll be her devoted boyfriend by then.

We can only explain your disappearance if you two are still boyfriend and girlfriend.

To ease the tension, Su Yu and his girlfriend went on their honeymoon. Several months later, they returned, their conflicts resolved, and they became a couple.

That makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

Finally, as Lin Qingmeng's father turned the corner, he stared intently at Su Yu, and softly murmured to himself.

"Good luck, young man..."

After this little incident, the way everyone looked at Su Yu changed slightly.

This young man…

That's pretty brave...

But for them, it was just a minor incident.

In the corner, a mature woman in a white dress narrowed her eyes, as if she had thought of something, and muttered to herself.

"The reason for the rejection is probably because of her..."

"Heh, then I really have to thank you, Li Qingqing. If Su Yu had accepted Lin Qingmeng's request to marry into the family at this time, I would have been in a real predicament."

She took a sip of her drink and then put the glass back on the table.

"But it's not that difficult."

Lin Qingmeng walked over to Su Yu and pulled him down to sit. The two of them sat back down, and Lin Qingmeng stopped talking. Her eyes, which should have been full of charm, were now filled with grievance.

Su Yu glanced at Lin Qingmeng, then looked away, but that glance left him somewhat puzzled.

Why does her lipstick look even redder?

Su Yu wanted to take another look, but then he heard Lin Qingmeng's voice.

"You dislike me that much?"

Su Yu thought for a moment and then said, "It's not that I dislike it."

"Then why...why can't you get back together with me?"

Su Yu glanced at Lin Qingmeng, who was clutching her skirt tightly.

"I don't like repeating the same mistakes."

"But I promised you I wouldn't do it again, I really won't do it again."

Su Yu paused for a moment, looked away, and said with a feigned melancholy, "You said the same thing before."

"

You promised me back then that you would always be good to me, that you wouldn't let me feel wronged in this relationship, and that as long as I treated you well, you would treat me well in return.

"The results of it?"

Su Yu smiled at Lin Qingmeng and shrugged: "Now you have to promise me something. What do you want me to promise?"

As a result, Lin Qingmeng probably has less interest in him now.

Su Yu felt a sense of relief.

I've already gone far enough today, rejecting her in front of her father, and now I'm making things clear.

It seems they no longer need An Ningying as their shield.

After listening to Su Yu's words, Lin Qingmeng suddenly laughed, a smile curving her lips. She took a deep look at her skirt, which was now wrinkled under her hands.

Her smile widened.

"Would you like some wine, Xiaoyu..."

85. An eyesore

drink wine?

Su Yu looked at Lin Qingmeng, who opened a bottle of wine. The wine looked somewhat familiar. Su Yu looked at it again and realized that it seemed to be the wine that had been placed on the table earlier.

Why do I suddenly want to drink?

As for the nickname "Xiaoyu," Su Yu hadn't expected that Lin Qingmeng would sometimes call him that, especially when they were still dating. She would call him that when she was happy or emotional.

It's a bit strange. Shouldn't Lin Qingmeng only call me that when she's happy?

After I've already rejected her like this, how can she possibly be in a good mood?

Without much hesitation, Lin Qingmeng had the maid bring over two wine glasses. She poured the wine into the glasses and handed one to Su Yu.

"Give."

Su Yu didn't refuse. It was better not to refuse Lin Qingmeng for such a small thing, otherwise she would get angry.

When Lin Qingmeng is angry, she'll flip the table.

Su Yu simply accepted the drink without drinking it. Lin Qingmeng handed Su Yu a glass of wine and then said nothing more.

She looked down at her wine glass.

The bright red wine looked as vivid as blood at that moment.

Lin Qingmeng felt something stuck in her throat.

It seems to be an emotion.

This feeling is called excitement.

He rejected her. He has already rejected her, so she can do whatever she wants now, right?

If he had agreed to marry into the family, I could have gradually developed feelings for Xiaoyu according to our plan. But Xiaoyu refused, didn't she?

Xiaoyu, if she refuses, she won't be a good girl.

If he's no longer a good boy, then he can be punished!

Lin Qingmeng pursed her lips and bit the inside of her lip, a fishy-sweet taste suddenly filling her mouth.

It tastes like blood.

Lin Qingmeng's gaze became complex and profound at this moment. She gently swirled her wine glass, her thoughts seemingly swaying along with the wine in the glass.

Lin Qingmeng suppressed her emotions, her eyes returned to normal, she took a small sip of wine, and glanced at Su Yu.

"Aren't you going to have a sip?"

The alcohol is problematic.
