Chapter 1177: Chapter 1178: A Bit Chaotic
Lin Yuru cradled her brotherās head, her heart aching, and softly said: "Yuming, there are plenty of good girls in this world. Itās Jingjingās loss that she canāt be with you."
Lin Yuming raised his head, choking back tears, and said: "I know this isnāt her intention. I know she loves me, but the pressure from her parents is just too great. Itās all because Iām useless, canāt afford a house, otherwise she wouldnāt be under such stress. But Iām really not willing to accept this."
Lin Yuru patted her brotherās head, bit her lip, and said: "Yuming, tell me, do you really want to marry Jingjing?"
"Yes!" Lin Yuming answered softly.
"Alright, Iāll help you." Lin Yuru clenched her fist and picked up her phone.
Lin Yumingās expression suddenly changed, and he quickly grabbed his sisterās hand, saying: "Sis! What are you doing? This canāt happen, I canāt let you jump into a pit of fire for my happiness."
"Yuming, donāt think that way. I didnāt agree to him because I was hoping to find someone better. But actually, from an overall perspective, heās already very accomplished, except for being a bit older, he doesnāt have many faults."
Lin Yuming shook his head hurriedly, saying: "No, no, Sis, you wonāt be happy this way."
The two siblings argued endlessly, while Shen Bing had already briefly explained the situation to Song Xiaoru and Song Xiaodong.
A man in his forties had been pursuing Lin Yuru. He was divorced, had a successful career, and ran a small company with a few million.
Lin Yuru had always looked down on that man because he wasnāt at all like how she had described to Lin Yuming earlier. He had a bad temper, liked to pretend, and particularly loved drinking. Once drunk, heād hit people. His ex-wife was driven away because of his abuse, so he never stood a chance.
Upon hearing this, Song Xiaoru frowned deeply and said: "Yuru means to agree to marry that man to have him buy Yuming a house?"
Shen Bing smiled wryly and said: "I suppose thatās what she means."
Song Xiaoru quickly said: "Thatās absolutely unacceptable! How could Yuru marry such a person?"
At this moment, Song Xiaodong felt deeply moved, watching Lin Yuru and Lin Yuming, they reminded him of himself and Song Xiaoru. They were also such loving siblings, willing to do anything for each other.
At this moment, Lin Yuru had already shaken off her brotherās hand and directly dialed that manās number, saying: "Come to Jinhua Hotel immediately." And then hung up.
"Sis! How can you do this?" Lin Yumingās face immediately turned very unsightly.
Lin Yuru said: "Yuming, thereās nothing bad about this. Donāt think that man is bad, itās just that his ex-wife couldnāt manage him. With your sisterās ability, canāt I handle him? Humph, in that family, Iāll be the one who calls the shots. Donāt worry, I can soon make him buy a house for you. Heāll pay some, and Sis has some savings. We can make the down payment no problem."
"Sis... I donāt want it. I canāt seek my own happiness with the money from selling yourself. Iād rather break up with Jingjing, ah..." Lin Yuming said this, his face suddenly changed, staring dazedly at the restaurant entrance.
Song Xiaodong and others also looked towards the door, seeing a group of four walking in, a pair of middle-aged men and women, as well as another pair of young men and women. The girlās gaze was also towards Song Xiaodong and the others, her eyes immediately reddening.
From the looks between Lin Yuming and this girl, it was evident that this girl was Jingjing.
"What are you looking at? Get upstairs quickly." The middle-aged woman snorted and tugged at the young girl.
The girl stumbled slightly but stood motionless, gazing fixedly at Lin Yuming.
Lin Yuming stood up abruptly and quickly ran towards the girl, who also quickly shook off her motherās hand and rushed towards Lin Yuming.
"Move aside!" The young man jumped ahead in front of Jingjing and directly extended a hand, pushing Lin Yuming away.
The woman quickly came to grab Jingjing, saying: "Are you stupid, just stand still for me."
Lin Yuming staggered from the manās push, shouting loudly: "Jingjing, tell me, do you really want to break up with me?"
Jingjingās mother immediately glared and said: "Lin Yuming, Iām telling you, stop being unreasonable. Youāre done. Iāve given you years of opportunities, but youāre still in this state now, canāt even afford the down payment for a house, how could I let my daughter marry you?"
Lin Yuming anxiously shouted: "No! Give me two more years, I will definitely afford a house."
"With what..." Jingjingās mother sneered and said: "Even if you worked your whole life without eating or drinking, you still wouldnāt afford a house. You better give up."
The man standing in front of Jingjing, named Cui Li, said with a stern face: "Kid, youād better not cause trouble. Jingjing is my girlfriend now. If you act up, donāt blame me for being rude."
Lin Yuming angrily retorted: "No, Jingjing loves me, sheās my girlfriend."
Cui Li scoffed and said: "Ha! You donāt even have a house, how can you be Jingjingās boyfriend? Iām telling you, Iāve already bought my house, paying for it tomorrow, on the third ring road. Can you compete with that?"
Lin Yuru then grabbed her brotherās hand, saying: "Who said my brother canāt afford a house? I can buy it for him within a week, then will you agree to let Jingjing be with my brother?"
Jingjingās mother sneered again and said: "Iām aware of your familyās situation. Buy a house in a week? Thatās a huge joke."
"Who said itās a joke? Yuru doesnāt have money, but I do." At this time, a fat man in his forties strode in, exuding confidence, though his appearance left much to be desired.
Lin Yuruās lips twitched slightly, yet she took a deep breath and said: "Wang Qiao, buy a house for my brother and I will agree to be with you."
"Great! No problem!" The fat man named Wang Qiao was immediately overjoyed upon hearing Lin Yuruās words, thumping his chest, saying: "Then Yuming is my little brother-in-law, buying him a house is no big deal!"
Lin Yumingās expression immediately froze, opening his mouth to speak, but Lin Yuru instantly tugged him, giving him a fierce look, for she must protect her brother, even if it meant sacrificing her own lifelong happiness.
