Chapter 524
The car stopped at the entrance of the presidential palace. Leng Yejin turned to look at her. For a long time, she bit her lip and did not say a word.
“We’re here. Go down. Your brother is waiting in the house.”
Tong Lu was hesitant. She looked up, and all sorts of emotions flashed in her eyes. Her lips trembled slightly.”You’re just joking with me, right?”
Leng Yejin stretched out his arms and gently pulled her into his embrace. She was still in a state of shock. He then hugged her tightly.
I’m not joking. You’re indeed a child of the yin family. Yesterday, Yan Shuo plucked a strand of hair from you and did a DNA test. It’s absolutely true. You have parents and an elder brother. But I have to tell you that although you’re my little fiancée, an adult can break a contract, let alone a child’s engagement. No one will take this step seriously. If we want to be together, I’ll tell you honestly that it’ll be very difficult. It’s not something I can decide on my own.
Leng Yejin hugged her tightly and could not bear to let go. “I’ve told you before that the yin family and I are political enemies. The people from both families will not allow us to be together. This isn’t about personal feelings, but the political affairs of the two camps. It’s impossible for the two families to have a marriage alliance.”
Tong Lu clutched the jade pendant tightly. She felt a lump in her throat. She was not an ignorant girl. She already understood everything that he had just said. She closed her eyes, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
He had thought that the future would be full of hope, but he did not expect to walk into a dead end.
“I don’t want to acknowledge my family, let’s go back? It’s ridiculous. Why did I become a child of the yin family out of nowhere?”
Tong Lu buried her head deep into Leng Yejin’s chest. I don’t care about a good family background. Grandma is very good to me. My mother is willing to sacrifice her life for me. Even if my father doesn’t treat me well, uncle is very good to me. I’m very content with my current life. Now, you’re telling me that those people aren’t my family. I can’t accept it. Leng Yejin, I don’t want to get out of the car.
She didn’t want to face the storm in the future, and she didn’t want to face the road full of thorns.
No, there were no thorns in front of him. At least there was still a path, but this step was a dead end, and there was no other path.
She was just an ordinary girl who wanted to pursue the simplest happiness. She did not want to be involved in complicated political conflicts. She was concerned about this and that. Initially, she only had to care about Leng Yejin’s situation. Would she have to care about the yin family in the future? why did she have to put her in that kind of situation?
Even when a huge mountain was pressing down on her, she was still able to resist it with great difficulty. How was she going to resist when two huge mountains were pressing down on her at the same time?
“Let’s go back. Shanshan is still waiting for us to have a seafood feast.”
Leng Yejin kissed her forehead. His heart ached for her, but there was nothing he could do. He could not stop her from acknowledging her family, even if he did not want her to return to her family. He murmured softly, ” “It’s too late to go back now. We can’t hide from what’s coming. Go in, your brother is waiting for you.”
Tong Lu covered her ears. She did not want to hear or move. She hugged Leng Yejin tightly.
Inside the house, Yin Zhan had already gotten up when he heard the sound of the car stopping. He strode out and stared at the tightly shut door. He quickly walked down the steps and stood quietly outside the car with his hands behind his back, his eyes locked on the door.
One minute passed.
Two minutes had passed.
Three minutes had passed.
Five minutes had passed.
