58: Chapter 58 Bai Feng's Parents Arrive
Su Xiumei's expression visibly panicked.
That Mrs. Zhao evidently did not notice Su Xiumei's abnormality and continued to try her best to introduce her daughter.
Talking about graduating from a well-known foreign university, having a good personality, being understanding, and so on.
However, Su Xiumei could not listen to a single word anymore.
Just as Lin Xiao's inner voice had said earlier.
She simply doesn't like boys; they are completely on different tracks.
What is the use of being outstanding?
Seeing her mother's difficult situation, Lin Chuge suppressed a smile, walked forward, and casually found an excuse to help lead the mother and daughter away.
She did not go far, however.
There were still many people lining up behind, and she wanted to see how many unspeakable secrets these young ladies from great families had.
Lin Qingshan and Su Xiumei took a deep breath, and hope rose in them once again.
With so many people present, they simply did not believe there wasn't a single suitable one!
Situations like the previous two should just be exceptions.
No matter what, these people were raised by great families; they shouldn't be too outrageous.
However, every single person who followed challenged their hearts.
"Oh my, this one is incredible, she actually has a masochistic fetish! You can't tell from the outside at all, how perverted!"
"This young lady is interesting; she lacked fatherly love from a young age, so she only likes men over forty."
"Heh, this girl actually likes others gnawing on her feet. Perfect, she can be paired up with the previous one!"
...
Gradually, the light faded from Lin Qingshan and Su Xiumei's eyes.
Amidst their helplessness, there was also a hint of anger.
They did not believe that these people were truly completely unaware of their own children.
Wasn't it just wanting to take advantage of the fact that Lin Xiao was still young, had just entered this circle of the wealthy, and couldn't judge people accurately yet, to seize the opportunity to exploit loopholes?
Did they really think they, as parents, were fools?
But then again, if not for Lin Xiao's inner voice, some people might have really gotten away with it.
Fortunately, there were many guests today, and among them, there were still some relatively normal people.
They got to know Lin Xiao, and perhaps there would be opportunities for development in the future.
Just as the introductions were winding down and Lin Xiao was about to leave, he heard the sound of a glass shattering not far away.
Turning his head to look, he saw Lin Chuge standing in front of a table with an unhappy expression, with a couple sitting in front of her.
The wine glass on the floor seemed to have been smashed by Lin Chuge.
Lin Qingshan and Su Xiumei also noticed the situation over there, and their expressions darkened as well.
"Why did they come? I remember not sending them an invitation!"
Su Xiumei said coldly.
"Sigh, after all, they are prominent figures in the capital; it wouldn't matter if they just came to attend the banquet, but looking at it now, it doesn't seem that simple."
Lin Qingshan thought for a moment, then walked over there anyway.
Lin Xiao hurriedly followed.
Lin Qingshan was worthy of being a veteran in the business world. Despite his poor expression just a moment ago, he put on a smile as soon as he reached the couple. "Brother Bai, Sister-in-law Bai, what is this..."
The Bai family again?
And they came directly to find Lin Chuge...
Could it be the eldest couple of the Bai family, that is, Young Master Bai Feng's parents?
The man was named Bai Yuan, and he looked about the same age as Lin Qingshan.
He stood up immediately and said politely: "Oh my, Old Lin, you know, there were some misunderstandings between A-Feng and Chuge before. We are here to apologize to Chuge on A-Feng's behalf."
"Yes, yes, we have no ill intentions."
The woman was named Liu Qing, and she looked relatively young, just in her early forties.
Like Bai Yuan, her face was full of guilt.
Hearing that the two of them had indeed come for the matter regarding Young Master Bai Feng, Lin Qingshan hesitated for a moment, then said indifferently: "Since you want to clear up the misunderstanding, let's go to the back and talk slowly."
Previously, Young Master Bai Feng had wanted to drug Lin Chuge and tried to force himself on her. Although he didn't succeed, Lin Chuge did not let it go and called the police after leaving.
During the investigation, the police actually found evidence of Young Master Bai Feng drugging her and had him detained first.
The Bai family was wealthy and influential. If they had encountered such a matter before, they could still resolve it with money, or at the very least, get the victim to issue a letter of forgiveness.
But this time, the one he provoked was the Lin family, and there was absolutely no possibility of any compromise.
Lin Chuge not only refused mediation but didn't even meet with the two of them.
With no other choice, they had to come here to find them.
...
In a small meeting room behind the banquet hall.
The four members of the Lin family sat on one side, and the Bai Yuan couple sat on the other.
"If you have anything to say, please get straight to the point."
With not so many people here, Lin Qingshan did not want to engage in empty pleasantries.
Young Master Bai Feng's attempt to bully their daughter was something they had long known about.
This was not like hearing Lin Xiao's inner voice, just gossiping without evidence; this was a matter that had actually happened.
They could absolutely not have any good attitude towards this.
Liu Qing evidently realized this point too and hurriedly continued to apologize, "The previous matter was indeed A-Feng's fault. Chuge, regardless of anything else, you two dated for so long before; there must be feelings there. Do you have the heart to let A-Feng go to jail?"
Lin Chuge snorted coldly and said with an unchanging expression, "Auntie, the way you say that, it sounds as if it were me who sent him to jail! He is an adult. Doesn't he know what consequences his actions will have?"
Liu Qing frowned, "But, but he..."
Bai Yuan saw Lin Chuge's determination and looked directly at Lin Qingshan, "Old Lin, we have been friends for so many years, there's no need to make such a scene, right? Which child hasn't made a mistake? As long as it didn't cause a bad outcome, it's fine!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the four members of the Lin family could barely suppress their anger.
