Chapter 892 - 893: Disguise
After getting off the plane, Zhong Chuling and Lin Shu walked out together and saw Ji Huan and her aunt.
Lin Shu was about to walk past them, but Ji Huan smiled and said, "I’m sorry about earlier, I really shouldn’t have spoken to you in that tone. My aunt already scolded me, and as fellow alumni, I realize my attitude was very inappropriate."
Lin Shu looked at Ji Huan in surprise, while Zhong Chuling immediately responded, "It’s fine, it’s fine, we’re all alumni after all."
Ji Huan quickly followed up on Zhong Chuling’s words and said, "Chuling is right, I admit I’m too snobbish sometimes. That’s no way to make friends. Sigh, it’s mostly because I haven’t been feeling well recently. College was going fine, but all of a sudden I’m being dragged back home to go on blind dates, and it’s with someone I’ve never even met. Naturally, my mood isn’t great."
These words were taught to Ji Huan by her aunt, suggesting she provide a reason for looking down on Lin Shu and the others by sharing her troubles.
Sure enough, Ji Huan’s explanation made Lin Shu’s tense expression soften significantly, while Zhong Chuling curiously asked, "If you don’t like them after meeting, why not just let it go?"
"Sigh..." Ji Huan let out a deep sigh and said, "You just don’t know. The other family is far too powerful, and my family simply has no grounds to refuse. This matter is likely not even up to me to decide. If they take a liking to me, I wouldn’t have the option of saying no."
Lin Shu rolled her eyes and said, "If you disagree, they can’t just kidnap you, can they?"
Ji Huan said helplessly, "Of course not, but things aren’t as simple as you think. My family may have some status in Minghe and money too, but compared to them, we’re miles apart. If we upset them, our whole family wouldn’t be able to stay in Minghe. So, even if I don’t like it, I’d have no choice but to agree."
"Huh? Situations like that exist? That’s just bullying!" Lin Shu widened her eyes, her righteous indignation instantly flaring.
