Chapter 122 - 0122: Sister-in-law Meets Brother-in-law

Chapter 122: Chapter 0122: Sister-in-law Meets Brother-in-law

Lin Shanshan’s small mouth trembled, her emotions beyond description.

She struggled to find the words and shouted at Long Fei, "The Lin Shirong you’re looking for, that’s my grandfather!"

"What?"

Long Fei sized her up with disbelief, "Come on, what are the odds of that happening."

Lin Shanshan said excitedly, "It’s really just that coincidental, why don’t you come with me to meet my grandfather now?"

Long Fei paused for a moment, seeing her sincere expression.

He thought it over carefully, Lin Shirong shared the Lin surname with Lin Yingying and Lin Shanshan, perhaps they really shared a connection.

He slapped his forehead, wondering how he ended up telling Lin Shanshan about this.

He had never intended to acknowledge this family arrangement. After all these years, he didn’t take the older generation’s decisions seriously.

Lin Shanshan laughed at him openly, "People always talk about fate, I never believed it. But now that I see you, I truly believe. There really is such a thing as fate in this world! You and my sister are simply meant to be."

Long Fei was on the verge of spitting blood and quickly covered up, "I was talking nonsense just now, you mustn’t believe it!"

Lin Shanshan frowned slightly and whispered with a laugh, "Strange, most people would be thrilled to have such a match. Why are you trying to back out?"

Long Fei said earnestly, "Shanshan, let me be honest with you! You know that your sister and I are worlds apart. I can see she could never like me. So, even if there’s this marriage arrangement, I couldn’t possibly accept it. It would make her uncomfortable and me miserable. So, I’m begging you, please don’t spread this around."

"That puts me in a tough spot, you know I’m terrible at keeping secrets," she said.

Lin Shanshan rubbed her head, a pained expression on her face.

Long Fei asked helplessly, "Then tell me, how can you keep this secret?"

Lin Shanshan gave a mischievous smile, "That’s easy! My condition is simple, until this matter is resolved, you can’t officially date Wang Xiaoya!"

Long Fei felt like spitting blood again, "On what grounds?"

Lin Shanshan pouted, "Do I even need to say why? It’s for my sister’s sake! You don’t know, my grandfather is such a stubborn old man. Because of your arranged childhood betrothal, he won’t let my sister date anyone. What will my sister do if you got involved with someone else?"

"I see!"

Long Fei smacked his head; this situation seemed more complicated than he thought.

He had thought that settling things with Lin Yingying meant he could be with Wang Xiaoya.

Now it seemed he had to deal with the old man first.

Lin Shanshan asked anxiously, "Never mind that for now, I heard from my sister about the Jade Pendant being a token when you were betrothed. Do you have the Jade Pendant? Let me have a look!"

Long Fei’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing her mention the Jade Pendant, further confirming the truth of the matter.

He reluctantly took out a small cloth bag from his pocket.

Inside were the remains of the Jade Pendant, which had been shattered when he was rescuing Lin Yingying, cut open by a knife.

He had patched it up with adhesive tape; it was still recognizable.

After Lin Shanshan took it out, she frowned and exclaimed, "Why is it broken?"

"Accidentally smashed it!"

Long Fei said offhandedly.

Lin Shanshan examined it closely and yelled in excitement, "That’s right, my sister also wears one around her neck, exactly like this one. My God, you’re actually my brother-in-law. This is just too incredible."

Long Fei took a sip of his drink and looked at her, "Tell me, how can we talk to your grandfather about calling off this marriage?"

"Call it off?"

Lin Shanshan raised her eyebrows, put the Jade Pendant back into the cloth bag and handed it to him, looking at him seriously, "You just tell me about it. If you dare tell my grandfather, it’s going to be the death of him."

Long Fei said uneasily, "But I like Little Ya. I can’t keep dragging her along, right?"

Lin Shanshan shrugged her shoulders and said, "What can you do about it? You’ve made my sister so old and yet, she’s never even been on a date with a man. Compared to her, you’re already lucky enough!"

The server at that time brought over the grilled items one by one.

Lin Shanshan looked at his troubled face and smiled, "Alright, let’s eat first! Once we’re full, maybe we’ll come up with a solution."

Long Fei nodded and finished his beer in one gulp, then asked the server for another glass.

He and Lin Shanshan ate heartily, beer kept being poured continuously, and they both started to feel a bit lightheaded.

Lin Shanshan said cheerfully, "Brother-in-law, do you know? The first time I saw you, I knew we were fated. I never expected that we’d be this fated!"

Long Fei darkened his face and corrected, "Don’t call me that randomly, I’m not your brother-in-law. And like I said, you must keep this a secret for me! Otherwise, I won’t even be your partner."

Lin Shanshan burped from the alcohol and said, "Fine, I’ll keep your secret. But you have to keep your promise too. If you dare to get serious with Wang Xiaoya, I’ll tell my sister right away."

Long Fei looked at her helplessly and raised his glass, saying, "I promise you, you little imp."

Lin Shanshan smiled and also raised her glass to clink it with his.

They had been sipping slowly, but now they picked up their glasses and downed the drinks in one go.

The two drank until nearly midnight before Long Fei signaled the owner to settle the bill.

He was feeling very conflicted today, so he drank a couple of extra glasses, but even luck wouldn’t solve the problem.

His head was spinning as he stood up, supporting Lin Shanshan as they attempted to leave.

The girl had drunk even more, and had dozed off at the table.

Long Fei called her a few times, but she didn’t respond.

Having no other choice, Long Fei had to carry her on his back and push the bike home.

Fortunately, it wasn’t far from home.

Once they entered the door, Sister Yan was still awake, washing clothes in the courtyard.

Seeing Long Fei carrying Lin Shanshan on his back, she furrowed her brows; it seemed like last time he was carrying Wang Xiaoya.

Long Fei gave her a dry laugh and said, "She’s drunk, it’s fine."

"Oh!"

Sister Yan nodded blankly, watching the two go upstairs, feeling a sense of loss in her heart.

She had always known Long Fei would climb up the social ladder, but she hadn’t expected it to happen this fast; she might not stand a chance at all.

Long Fei carried Lin Shanshan up to the third floor and asked her, "Where are your keys?"

Lin Shanshan fumbled around on her body while dizzy, and eventually took out a set of keys from her pocket and gave them to Long Fei.

Long Fei unlocked the door to find that the air conditioning was still on.

Feeling bad about the electricity bill for someone else, he put Lin Shanshan down on the sofa after entering.

However, he collapsed onto the floor himself.

The alcohol hit him immediately, making him too lazy to stand up.

He lay on the sofa, head spinning, and closed his eyes.

The next morning, the air conditioning made them both feel a bit chilly, and they shivered awake.

Lin Shanshan, at some point, had ended up holding Long Fei, curled up in his arms.

The two stared at each other with wide eyes and quickly separated.

Long Fei stood up and quickly checked himself, relieved to find all his clothes still on.

He quickly explained, "Shanshan, it’s not what you think. I brought you back last night, and I meant to go home, but somehow I fell asleep here?"
