Chapter 246: Can’t Break the Appointment
Old Sir Huo leaned back slightly, tired, on the grand chair, his expression heavy with sorrow: "I absolutely cannot allow a woman like Lin Banxia, with such a background, to marry into our Huo Family. If a wife is not chosen carefully, it can ruin three generations. Our Huo Family has always chosen women with superior genes as spouses. Lin Banxia is just a wild girl—her temper is too forthright, too fiery. She hasn’t even entered through the door, and already the Huo Family is in chaos. If we truly let her marry in, I’m afraid the Huo Family will be turned upside down."Lin Banxia waited for the elevator, her legs weak as she walked inside.
When she saw the floor where Yan Ting was, she couldn’t summon the courage to press the button.
Instead, she simply pressed for the lobby on the first floor.
Lin Banxia walked out of the lobby, her head hung low, her mood deeply downcast. Standing outside in the sunlight, on the road where cars rushed back and forth.
Lin Banxia went to the parking lot to retrieve her car and leave.
Suddenly, a black sedan stopped in front of her. The window rolled down, revealing Yan Ting’s handsome face.
"Get in the car!" Yan Ting’s deep eyes carried a trace of tenderness as he looked at her.
"No, I need to go back to the pear garden to check on things!" Lin Banxia intentionally wanted to avoid him, feeling as though she owed him something.
"My grandfather refused to agree to the cancellation, didn’t he? No problem. I’ll talk to him!" Yan Ting instantly guessed what was on her mind, but he had only guessed part of it.
Lin Banxia’s gaze evaded him, looking elsewhere. The sunlight was so bright it made it hard for her to open her eyes, so she squinted slightly and spoke with feigned indifference: "Since you’ve already figured it out, we should continue to keep our distance."
"Get in the car, let’s talk properly!" Yan Ting, seeing her refusing to even look him in the eye, felt a bit stifled and spoke more forcefully.
"Yan Ting, just drive your car away, please. Don’t let people see us chatting idly," Lin Banxia looked at him pleadingly.
"If you don’t get in the car, I’ll get out and drag you in!" Yan Ting’s tone carried a hint of threat.
Lin Banxia had already experienced the man’s reckless methods before. Helpless and speechless, she had no choice but to open the car door and sit inside.
"Where are we going?" Lin Banxia saw the car accelerate out of the parking lot, speeding forward.
Yan Ting didn’t respond, his deep eyes fixed on her delicate face.
Under his gaze, Lin Banxia felt uneasy and turned her face toward the window.
"What exactly did my grandfather say? Can you tell me truthfully now?" Yan Ting was in such a hurry to find her because he wanted to analyze his grandfather’s words for her.
He thought Lin Banxia appeared sharp, but in reality, her mind was a bit muddled, often failing to consider things thoroughly. He felt it necessary to help her sort everything out.
Faced with the man’s persistent questioning, Lin Banxia could only sigh and relay what Old Sir Huo had said.
The more Yan Ting listened, the more his expression grew dark and grave.
"So, you didn’t even bring up the cancellation issue?" His tone carried a trace of frustration and anger.
Lin Banxia was equally helpless: "In that situation, do you think I could? At first, I thought your grandfather would definitely indulge Huo Anya’s behavior. I was already mentally prepared for a big argument with him. But... I didn’t expect your grandfather to be so understanding, and even offer me compensation for my losses—tenfold. I really couldn’t bring myself to mention the cancellation."
Yan Ting furrowed his elegant brows slightly, looking at the small woman beside him, her downcast and frustrated expression making his own mood suddenly agitated.
