The cemetery was empty, and the sound of a woman, Pan Pan, wailing piercingly, suddenly rang out.
Chapter 15
Lin Bei stood there; the previous aversion was gone, replaced by a surge of sorrow.
The most regrettable thing in the world is realizing too late.
She, Jiang Mu, were the same kind of people.
She closed her eyes, and two lines of tears streamed down her cheeks.
At noon, Lin Bei returned home. When Lin’s father saw her, his gaze turned cold.
Lin Bei had always been the most favored child in the family, but today, Lin’s father felt an urge to strike his daughter.
“Why didn’t you show up at the engagement banquet?”
Lin’s father stared at Lin Bei, demanding an explanation.
Lin Bei was exhausted in both body and mind: “Dad, I’m sorry, but I don’t want to marry Fu Yusen anymore.”
Back then, she agreed partly to spite Jiang Nuan, partly for the family.
But now, knowing the whole truth, how could she marry the person Jiang Nuan had loved for so long?
How could her heart find peace?
Lin’s father could no longer contain himself and raised his hand high.
But a servant hurried in from outside, speaking urgently: “Chairman Lin, Mr. Fu is here.”
Lin’s father lowered his hand, suppressing his anger: “Let him in.”
Fu Yusen walked in from outside, seemingly oblivious to the strange atmosphere in the living room.
He sat down, and his first words changed the faces of everyone in the Lin family: “Uncle, I’m sorry, but the alliance between our families must be terminated.”
Lin’s father frowned, thinking Fu Yusen was upset about Lin Bei’s absence at the engagement banquet.
“Yusen, on the day of the engagement…”
Fu Yusen interrupted him: “Uncle Lin, this has nothing to do with Lin Bei. It’s my personal reason. I’m willing to compensate with thirty percent of Fu Corporation’s net profit this year.”
This statement shocked not only Lin’s father but also Lin Bei.
It was not a small sum.
Lin Bei felt that he wasn’t just compensating for the engagement termination.
But from Fu Yusen’s calm eyes, she could see nothing.
After pondering for a moment, Lin’s father nodded.
