Chapter 12 - Prevarication



"Is what Fourth Lin Young Lady\'s words really true and from one\'s heart?" Chu Wang Ji asked, his fists were unknowingly clenched tightly and ignored her previous comment.

He didn\'t know why but Chu Wang Ji felt his question was wrong. He should be glad and let this conversation end with Lin Xiaofei personally agreeing to break the marriage engagement.

And yet, why does he feel like he was the one at the losing end? As if it wasn\'t he, the one who wants to break off the engagement but Lin Xiaofei. And another, he felt irritated with how unfeeling she was when she said that she agreed to breaking off the engagement.

This made Chu Wang Ji extremely displeased as he waited for Lin Xiaofei\'s reply. Whether her response was a yes or no, Chu Wang Ji wouldn\'t feel too good.

"What is young master Chu saying? Whether my decision comes from the heart or the truth doesn\'t matter. Our engagement was bestowed to us while we were inside our mother\'s womb. If we break it off, there\'s no change at all since both parties are unfeeling." Lin Xiaofei said as she gave him a side glance..

The Chu family was the one who demanded to break off the engagement in the first place and now he wanted to ask her whether it really comes from her heart?

Why? Would their decision to break off the engagement change if she said it wasn\'t? Lin Xiaofei thought it would not.

The Chu Family was extremely brazen to break off an engagement agreement that was established years ago and never even showed any favorable actions to their in-laws or their future daughter in law.

Besides, if they hadn\'t come in this perfect timing, Lin Xiaofei would need to look for the right reason and time to break it off. So, when they asked to break off the engagement, Lin Xiaofei was extremely happy since she will be getting off one burden from her shoulders.

And even if she had been rebirthed inside Lin Xiaofei, she still wouldn\'t want to be engaged to a man that was power-hungry that he could ignore and throw away everything for power.

She didn\'t want to live and experience that hell once again.

"Then, let\'s do just that. As promised, our Chu family will not let Fourth Lin Young Lady be at a disadvantage and thus, we already listed some eligible noble sons to pick from." Chu Wang Ji took out a paper containing the names of the noble sons from his sleeves, "May General Lin look at it and choose."

Lin Xiaofei\'s eyes glanced at it coldly.

How shameless!

They actually came prepared!

They had just come to break off the engagement but was already prepared to have a list of noble sons to choose from. Wouldn\'t their intention to genuinely help just a prevarication?

Lin Xiaomeng\'s face was also ugly when he saw Chu Wang Ji taking out a paper, listing the names of the eligible noble sons for his Fei\'er.

"Don\'t worry. All these noble sons are quite outstanding and have a good personality. They also agreed to enter into a marriage engagement with the Fourth Lin young lady." Chu Wang Ji reassured them after seeing the gloom in their faces.

Lin Xiaomeng hesitated to take it. He didn\'t want to accept it since it will look like they just slapped themselves with the fact that Lin Xiaofei was unable to look for an eligible man to marry and the Lin family was of no help to her.

However, he also couldn\'t reject it.

If the list was indeed some outstanding noble sons, Lin Xiaofei\'s marriage wouldn\'t be too tacky. Although, it pales in comparison with the Chu Family, the list wouldn\'t be too bad, right?

Lin Xiaomeng decided to take the risk and took the paper from Chu Wang Ji\'s hand. When he received it, he slowly opened it and looked at the names. His face was first expressionless albeit gloomy but when he started to read the names in his mind, Lin Xiaomeng couldn\'t smile and felt his head getting hotter as his face became red with anger.

"What does the Chu mean by this?" Lin Xiaomeng furiously asked.

Chu Wang Ji felt his nape getting cold and cautiously said, "What does General Lin mean by that? The noble sons in the list are quite outstanding and have some skills. Does General Lin think that they are not good enough?"

What eligible noble sons! Lin Xiaomeng almost ripped the paper in his hands. The \'noble sons\' that the Chu family picked among everyone else were indeed outstanding but there was one thing that made Lin Xiaomeng be filled with anger and embarrassment.

Seeing his red face, Lin Xiaofei was curious and went to his side to also read it.

When her eyes first laid on the name on top, Lin Xiaofei raised an eyebrow and was interested to read more and almost laughed out loud when she saw the rest of the list.

The lists of names in Lin Xiaomeng\'s hand wasn\'t really that bad. Even Lin Xiaofei find it quite amusing since there were some desirable noblemen. However, for others and Lin Xiaomeng, the list was an insult as the names of the young lords in the lists were all third rates.

He could accept it if they were second rate noble Di sons but third rate ones were almost saying that Lin Xiaofei wasn\'t even worth the first or second rates noble Di sons. But would Lin Xiaomeng allow Lin Xiaofei to marry a third rate noble son? That was something he needed to think about.

He was no fool that he wouldn\'t know that almost all first-rate and second rate noble Di sons didn\'t want Lin Xiaofei to be their bride and if Lin Xiaomeng looked for one that could be of equal status to Lin Xiaofei, that would be a difficult task to do.

That was why he needed to think about this carefully and see if there was any third rate who has qualities similar to that of a first or second rate, then he wouldn\'t need to worry much.

When she saw Lin Xiaomeng\'s face contemplating over the list of names, Lin Xiaofei frowned. Was he really thinking about letting his granddaughter marry a third rate, noble sons?

Sigh. Lin Xiaofei suddenly said, "Thanking the Chu family\'s assistance but the Lin family won\'t accept it."

Lin Xiaomeng looked at her, "Fei\'er".

He thought that Lin Xiaofei was dissatisfied with the lists and worriedly looked at her, but Lin Xiaofei\'s face remained placid and expressionless.

Madam Chu who was on the side was displeased at her rejection and said, "Fourth Lin Young Lady doesn\'t need to be bashful and just accept the list of names of the potential marriage partners. They are all outstanding youths and nobles Di sons."

"As I\'ve said. There\'s no need for help. I am a legitimate young miss from the prestigious Lin family, where\'s the need for me to marry someone when I have the Lin family behind my back?"

That\'s right. With the Lin family behind her back, why should she marry?

Chu Wang Ji also didn\'t expect her to say this and looked at her. However, Lin Xiaofei refuses to look at him.

"Is Fourth Lin Young Lady saying you will not marry in this lifetime?" Madame Chu asked.

"That can\'t be!" Lin Xiaomeng shouted, "Fei\'er, a young lady must marry and must create a family. Don\'t worry, your grandfather will find you a suitable man."

Lin Xiaofei laughed at him and said, "Of course, I will marry. But grandfather need not look for one because I already have someone in mind."
