Chapter 712: Even If I Lose, I Still Win (2)
Shi Yao’s parents didn’t call her often at first, but after four to five days, it was likely that the Lin family was communicating with them, so Shi Yao’s parents took turns to call her. It was only a short lesson.., shi Yao’s phone didn’t stop ringing. By the time she was done with her lesson and was about to return the call, her phone had already been switched off by her parents due to a lack of battery.
Shi Yao didn’t bring her mobile phone with her, so she went to the canteen for lunch before returning to her dormitory.
She charged her phone, and while she was waiting for her phone to turn on, the landline in her dormitory room rang.
He Tiantian was the closest to the landline, so she picked it up swiftly after only ringing once. “Hello, May I know who you’re looking for?”
“Oh, Oh, OH, I’m here... Auntie, please wait a moment...”he Tiantian’s voice, which had sounded very official just a moment ago, suddenly became exceptionally warm. Following which, she raised the landline receiver at Shi Yao, “Yaoyao, it’s your mother.”
Shi Yao reached out and picked up the receiver. As she was quite a distance away from the receiver, she had always been leaning to one side when she picked up the call.
“Mom...”
Shi Yao only said one word before her mother’s scolding came from the other end of the phone, “Yaoyao, your mother asked you to coax Jia Ge. Have you never been there?”
Shi Yao frowned, but she didn’t say a word.
“Over the past few days, MOM has been calling you so many times every day, giving you endless reminders. Why haven’t you listened to a single word of it? Do you know that old Mister Lin personally came to our house today? He brought a lot of things with him, and they were all gifts and apologies. He said that we should just forget about this marriage...”
Shi Yao’s fingers subconsciously gripped the microphone tightly.
It was no wonder her parents had called her so many times today. It turned out that Grandpa Lin had come to cancel the marriage... Lin Jiage, he... he actually managed to convince Grandpa Lin..
That night at Changming Mountain, she knew that the engagement between them was about to be annulled. It was just that she hadn’t received any news from her elders, so she could still be considered to be fine. However, at this very moment, the matter was finally settled.., shi Yao realized that her heart was completely empty, as if someone had dug a hole in it. A howling cold wind was constantly blowing into her heart.
“Yaoyao, just what did you do to make old Mister Lin insist on annulling the engagement? Your father said that if he tried to persuade you again, old Mister Lin would say that there’s no need for it. It’s their fault for letting our family down... Yaoyao, after old Mister Lin left, your father flew into a rage and smashed many of the things in the house. You...”
Before Shi Yao’s mother could finish her rambling, the phone in her hand had probably been snatched away, and Shi Yao’s father’s voice could be heard from the other end.
“Shi Yao, what the Hell Is Wrong With You? How could you turn such a good marriage into such a mess? You could turn a phoenix into a crow, so why are you such a good-for-nothing? You deserve to be born poor! You’re such a Prodigal! Your grandfather left you such a good marriage, yet you’re still able to ruin it! How can I have a daughter like you!”
Her father’s words were far harsher and harsher than her mother’s.
Shi Yao lowered her eyes, wanting to reply with a few words. who was their biological child? Why did everything that happened make them think that it was her fault?
However, no matter how much she screamed in her heart, in the end, her tone was so calm that even she was surprised. “What did Grandpa Lin bring to our house today?”
