Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!

Upon hearing this, Shen Yaoyao was overjoyed, struggling to crawl over, crying and shouting.

"Every word I said is true! Uncle, you’re a good person, you must stand up for me!"

What she said was true, which meant Zhang Shuci indeed made such outrageous remarks.

The old leaders left in anger, not wanting to watch this family’s drama anymore.

At this moment, Jiang Lai patted Lin Gao’s arm.

Lin Gao was smart, immediately realizing she was reminding him, so he left with the old leaders, seeing them off.

These people were friends and comrades of Lin Gao’s grandfather; their bond was extraordinary.

Seeing Lin Gao speak again, and with a face somewhat resembling his grandfather, they felt both regretful and comforted.

By this time, the Zhang Family couldn’t care less about anything else.

The director’s mother-in-law was still jumping up and down, wondering how her precious grandson could get involved with such a woman.

The director’s wife was even more furious, wishing she could strangle Shen Yaoyao right there.

"Everyone be silent!!"

Director Zhang roared, and after a single shout, the entire house fell silent.

He walked up to Shen Yaoyao, the warmth on his face gone, his eyes cold and sinister.

"I don’t care what your relationship with Shuci is, I won’t pursue the theft incident, you want to enter our family, is that it?

Rest assured, I, Zhang Hanzheng, have never fathered an irresponsible son!"

"What are you talking about?! Do you really want to let her into our home?!"

The director’s wife’s voice raised by eight pitches.

She disapproved of Shen Yaoyao a thousand times over, unwilling to even let her in as a foot-washing maid, let alone as her daughter-in-law.

Zhang Hanzheng turned to her, forcing out a sentence from his throat.

"If you don’t want me to be ousted by that kid Lin Gao, then shut up! Do as I say, do you understand?!"

The director’s wife was shocked by his demeanor, unable to utter a word for a long time.

At this point, Shen Yaoyao was already overwhelmed with joy; after great sorrow came great happiness, she was soon going to be the director’s daughter-in-law!!

She too would become the director’s wife, and the house would be hers in the future!!

Suddenly turning around, her eyes met Zhang Shuci’s.

His face was swollen and unsightly from a beating, filled with cold aversion and savage hatred, startling Shen Yaoyao.

But she quickly reassured herself.

No problem, the days ahead are long; as long as she gives birth to a child for the Zhang Family soon, her status would be secured, and Zhang Shuci couldn’t do anything to her.

Shen Yaoyao never expected that one visit would miraculously make her the owner of the steel plant.

She was immersed in her own joy, completely missing the threads of hatred in the director’s wife’s gaze.

The farce was over.

Jiang Lai quickly made her exit, leaving with Lin Gao.

Even Little Buding was anxious for her.

"You’ve really put Director Zhang on the spot with this stunt, I’m afraid you might get killed stepping out at night."

Jiang Lai wore a calm expression.

"There’s plenty who want me dead, let’s see if he has the capability."

"You did well, helping Shen Yaoyao achieve her dream, she probably owes you a thank you now."

Little Buding had a hint of displeasure in his tone.

But Jiang Lai merely smiled.

"Life inside may not be as good as it seems."

Not to mention Zhang Shuci being a cowardly weakling, Zhang Shuci’s mother alone was trouble enough for Shen Yaoyao.

And then there was Zhang Hanzheng, the hypocritical and cold-blooded father-in-law.

The entire Zhang Family, young and old, didn’t like Shen Yaoyao. Once she married in, life there wouldn’t be any better than a cage.

Regardless of how the Zhang Family made a fuss, Lin Gao remained quietly consistent.

The sky was still bright when he turned to Jiang Lai.

"There’s a place that’s really beautiful, shall I take you to see it?"

"Sure."

Anyway, the task was mostly complete, and Lin Gao would handle the rest.

He was clever and knew how to be patient.

The Zhang Family was no match for him.

The two of them went for a walk to the lakeside, upstream of the steel plant and coal yard, where a bridge and a small pavilion had been built, now devoid of people since this was the time everyone was either working or busy preparing dinner at home.

The setting sun cast dazzling brilliance, reflecting a shimmery, scaly light on the lake.

Jiang Lai sat on a stone, Lin Gao standing beside her, fingers fidgeting with his clothing, looking very nervous.

"Go ahead."

Seeing Lin Gao’s confusion, Jiang Lai turned to look at the lake.

"Continue what you were saying today."

"I used to think being mute was no big deal.

But after meeting you, I felt the need to practice speaking.

I wanted you to know that I’m not a mute.

I intended to tell you here, but you found out ahead of time."

Jiang Lai laughed aloud.

Lin Gao looked a bit uneasy.

"If you don’t like it, I won’t mention it next time."

"It’s fine, speak if you want to, but you do need more practice speaking; not everyone would have as much patience as I do."

Lin Gao felt he was being led astray again by Jiang Lai.

He clearly intended to convey something else.

"Jiang Lai, that’s not what I meant."

"Alright, go on then."

"I...I, I find you very beautiful, and want to spend my life with you."

Jiang Lai was silent for a moment.

After a brief silence, Little Buding went offline directly.

"No, no, this guy is too outrageous, I have to log off."

I’ve heard of people being straightforward, but to be this direct, it’s rare.

Jiang Lai had faced many storms, knew all kinds of men.

Yet, still found herself speechless with Lin Gao’s straightforwardness.

People of this era were so naive.

They had no concept of dating; their liking was geared straight towards living life together.

As a wanderer, Jiang Lai certainly couldn’t accept Lin Gao’s straightforward confession.

So she sighed, shook her head.

"No, I don’t plan on living life with someone else."

Too much trouble.

Upon hearing this, Lin Gao’s eyes showed a hint of dejection, but his composure remained.

He bowed his head as if he had expected Jiang Lai to respond this way.

"Okay, I understand."

After saying this, Lin Gao fell silent, standing beside Jiang Lai, quietly gazing at the lake, with no apparent negative vibe of being rejected. Instead, he was very calm, resembling the tranquil lake in front of them.

"But I’ll wait for you."

"You’ve set your mind on me?"

Lin Gao looked at her, nodded.

"I’m not lying; the first time I saw you, I wanted to spend my life with you.

It’s true, not a lie, I feel like I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.

Lin Gao’s earnestness made it hard to doubt the truth in his words.

Jiang Lai looked up.

"What if you don’t meet me?"

"Then I’ll wait for you, always."
