Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 310 Such a Backing

Jiang Liping held Lin Qingping's hand, repeatedly expressing her gratitude. "Thanks to your reminder, we went to the hospital. The doctors said it was discovered early, and after surgery, we're doing very well now. The doctors also said that once symptoms appear, it's already in the late stage, and most people wouldn't go to the hospital if they don't have symptoms. So, thank you so much, you amazing doctor."

Lin Qingping dared not accept this title.

She could vaguely sense Zhong Xiaoxiao's admiring gaze beside her, and quickly said, "Aunt Jiang, I really don't deserve it, I really don't deserve it. It's just a coincidence, and it's best that Uncle Cheng is in good health."

Actually, Director Cheng and his wife were quite surprised by Lin Qingping's sudden arrival, as they had only met him once before, despite him being their savior.

Lin Qingping didn't see any trace of Cheng Yuanyuan, so she asked directly.

It turns out they came looking for their daughter.

The couple exchanged a glance: they had never heard their daughter mention this friend.

Moreover, at this critical juncture, their biggest headache is their daughter.

"To be honest, I am Lin Jiagui's older sister," Lin Qingping said frankly.

The two people on the other end of the line changed their expressions when they heard the name.

It seemed that she took a moment to adjust her mindset. In fact, Jiang Liping even pressed her hand on Director Cheng, giving him a hint, as if to tell him not to act impulsively.

Lin Qingping then realized that her younger brother was no good in the eyes of this couple. If she hadn't been able to barely be considered to have saved his life, she might have been kicked out of the house.

So, what exactly happened with this marriage? Was it really agreed upon?

Noticing the attitude of Director Cheng and his wife, Lin Qingping said, "I came today because I have heard about my brother and your daughter's situation."

Upon hearing this, the two men's expressions darkened further, but they remained silent.

Lin Qingping finished speaking, "What I want to say is that I don't approve of my brother's relationship with Yuan Yuan."

Upon hearing this, Director Cheng and his wife were shocked.

Clearly surprised by Lin Qingping's response, he stared at her with wide eyes, having initially assumed she was there to act as a mediator for the Lin family.

“Yes, I disagree,” Lin Qingping said again.

But then, Factory Director Cheng flew into a rage, “Disagree? Do you think my daughter isn’t good enough for your brother? Let me tell you, my daughter is innocent and kind! She was tricked by your brother and ended up in this predicament. Compared to him, your brother is even more shameless and a scoundrel! Yes, Yuan Yuan’s situation is indeed very passive right now, but if you dare to look down on my daughter…”

At this point, Director Cheng suppressed his anger and said, "Although you are my savior, I... I would rather be an ungrateful person and not let your Lin family get away with this!"

Jiang Liping kept pulling on Director Cheng, telling him to stop talking.

Factory Director Cheng said to himself, "Why shouldn't we speak up? Our daughter has been bullied; can't we, as her parents, stand up for her?"

Looking at Director Cheng and Jiang Liping, Lin Qingping couldn't recall how much interaction Jiang Liping and Cheng Yuanyuan had in their past lives. She only remembered that after Director Cheng passed away, Jiang Liping didn't live long on her own, while Cheng Yuanyuan completely lost her support.

If Cheng Yuanyuan had always had her father supporting her like this in her previous life, she wouldn't have ended up with such a miserable life.

Lin Qingping was not angry because of how Director Cheng treated her. Instead, she said calmly, "Uncle Cheng, you may have misunderstood. Of course, I did not disagree because I looked down on Yuan Yuan."

"Then what is it because of you?" Director Cheng became very irrational when he brought this up, he was really fed up with the face of Lin Jiagui's mother.

Is her name Wu Axiu?

He didn't even want to remember this woman's name!

She had the nerve to come to him to discuss marriage, and she even put on an arrogant face, saying that his daughter was no longer "clean" and that it was only because his Lin family didn't mind that he came to propose marriage. He said that if it weren't for her noble status and insistence on being with her, his Lin family would never allow an "unclean" woman to enter the family.

Listen! Listen!

What kind of talk is this?

The only reason he didn't throw that woman out was because his daughter was clinging to his leg and begging him!

And you still want to become in-laws with him?

Isn't this sending your daughter into the lion's den?

Lin Qingping stated clearly, "I believe that Lin Jiagui is not good enough for Cheng Yuanyuan, and I will definitely not raise this child!"

She didn't know what the Cheng family planned to do with the child, but her mother must have mentioned the "aunt raising the child" thing to the Cheng family parents. No matter what the Cheng family's attitude was, she would not raise the child!

The person who killed her in her past life!

Will she raise it?

Should we raise her up and then kill her again?

After hearing this, Director Cheng and Jiang Liping calmed down a bit and began to carefully examine Lin Qingping.

“Actually, I don’t care who my brother marries, but I’m not a fool and I don’t want to raise someone else’s child, so I made this special trip,” Lin Qingping said. “Also, I want to ask, do you really know what kind of person my brother is?”

“He didn’t like farm work, but he loved learning. He took the college entrance exam, but he didn’t pass because he didn’t perform well. He was very cultured and ambitious. After failing the college entrance exam, he went to the capital to make a living and started a small business. But because he was worried about his parents back home who had no one to take care of them, he gave up his business in the capital and returned to his hometown.” Jiang Liping told him what she had found out.

Lin Qingping almost laughed. Was this how her mother had boasted about the Lin family's wealth after returning to her hometown?

Returning to the capital to pursue our careers?

Is it because of filial piety that he returned to his hometown?

The only downside is that he doesn't like doing farm work, but he loves learning! For city dwellers, having the advantage of being a good learner means that not being able to do farm work is no big deal!

Looking at Lin Qingping's expression, Director Cheng and Jiang Liping asked in unison, "What? None of this is true?"

Lin Qingping could only lament the lack of information in this era. It was truly a matter of what her mother said being believed, relying entirely on her mother's words. "To put it this way, he does not like doing farm work, and he did take the college entrance examination, but it wasn't that he didn't perform well. Rather, he couldn't even recognize all the words on the exam paper! As for why he doesn't like doing farm work, it's because he's lazy, not because he likes reading!"

Jiang Liping's expression changed.

"Furthermore, he didn't go to the capital to pursue his career, but because he gambled there and was sent to a labor camp. As for filial piety, I won't even mention it. Any rural boy with a bit of filial piety would be willing to let his elderly parents work in the fields under the scorching sun while he's pampered like a young master. And what filial son would take his parents' hard-earned money to gamble?"

"This..." Jiang Liping was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

Factory Director Cheng was even more furious, "I told you that kid was unreliable, his words were full of loopholes, but you insisted on siding with your daughter!"

“So…” Lin Qingping said, “I also want to know if your attitude towards this marriage has changed? Cheng Yuanyuan and I have a history, and after hearing about this marriage, I felt it was necessary to tell you the truth. If you still intend to continue to be related to the Lin family through marriage, then just pretend I was never here.”

"How could there be a marriage alliance? Absolutely impossible!" Factory Director Cheng waved his hand. "Call your daughter back! Tell her the truth!"

It turns out that Director Cheng had always been opposed to this marriage.

"Even if we raise this child ourselves, I will never agree to her marrying that Lin guy!" Factory Director Cheng said angrily. "What if people laugh at me? At worst, I'll quit being the factory director, we'll move to a strange place, I'll work odd jobs, surely I can support a child that way?"

Factory Director Cheng has always held this attitude, but it is Cheng Yuanyuan who insists on it.

It's unclear what kind of spell Lin Jiagui cast on Cheng Yuanyuan, but she became completely devoted to him, determined to marry no one but him, and even threatened to starve herself to death to get back to her parents.

Jiang Liping couldn't bear to see her daughter so heartbroken, so she stood by her daughter's side and argued with Factory Director Cheng to agree to the marriage.

“I was worried that the child would be criticized after it was born, so your mother suggested that we go to another place to give birth, and then give the child to you to raise, so that both families could have a respectable life.” As Jiang Liping spoke, she gave Lin Qingping a strange look.

However, because Director Cheng was strongly opposed and argued with his daughter every day, Jiang Liping sent her daughter to live with her parents to put her mind at ease. She said she would persuade her father as soon as possible and then let her come back.

Therefore, Cheng Yuanyuan is not here now.

Now that Lin Qingping has come, Director Cheng is even more opposed to the marriage. Jiang Liping also realized that she could not marry her daughter to such a person, so they discussed trying to persuade her daughter.

As for the child, Director Cheng and Jiang Liping didn't mention it, and Lin Qingping couldn't bring it up either. She couldn't very well tell people: "This child is a bad seed, and we must not let him be born into this world."

She could only console herself that if the child was indeed raised by the Cheng family as Director Cheng said, perhaps he would be influenced by what he saw and heard and become a good person?

After Director Cheng and Jiang Liping thanked her once again, she left the Cheng family.
