Chapter 98: Open and Covert Struggles
The Sun family is inherently greedy, and now they are even less likely to leave.
Lin Ruqin's face was grim. If their family really went bankrupt, they would be of no use to her.
We must never keep such a burden around us.
"Cousin Huixia, why didn't you tell me about this happening at home sooner? I still have some money here; why don't you go back now to pay off your debts?"
After saying this, Lin Ruqin also took out some of the money she had saved over the years.
This is not a small amount either.
Sun Huixia was greedy for money.
"Really? We're family after all. My cousin is indeed kind-hearted. With this money, it's not impossible for our family to make a comeback."
Upon hearing this, how could Lin Rusi possibly let her family have their way so easily?
“Sun Huixia, are you sure you’re not mistaken? My eldest sister’s money is the Lin family’s money. Why should it be given to your family for no reason? My mother is in charge now, and I don’t agree to this.”
After saying that, Lin Rusi deliberately put on an arrogant look and looked at the vampire family in front of her.
Upon hearing this, Sun Huixia felt a surge of dissatisfaction.
“This money was given to me by my sister, what does it have to do with you? Your mother was just a second wife, it’s not your place to call the shots here.”
Lin Rusi's face turned ugly, and she naturally didn't care about anything else, so she raised her hand and slapped her across the face.
Sun Huixia covered her face, never expecting Lin Rusi to actually hit her.
"Alright, do you really think I can't see through your little schemes? If you want to stay here and freeload, fine, but you'd better keep a low profile from now on and stop bullying the servants, or don't blame me for being impolite."
After saying this, he turned and left.
Sun Huixia turned pale with anger before looking at Lin Ruqin.
“Cousin, this girl has gone too far. She only dares to bully us because her mother is the principal wife. If I remember correctly, you are the principal wife of the Third Prince. Why don’t you go and tell the Third Prince about this? I think he will definitely stand up for us.”
Sun Huixia couldn't help but feel a stirring in her heart when she thought of Li Zeyan.
But Lin Ruqin refused without even thinking about it.
“How can this be? We’re not officially married yet. If we do something like this, it will definitely cause controversy. Lin Rusi did go too far, but what she said earlier wasn’t wrong either. Cousin, you should restrain yourself in the future. By the way, I think it’s best for your family to live together. Starting tomorrow, you should move out of my yard.”
Lin Ruqin was dissatisfied. This family was no longer of any use to her, and there was no need for her to be as careful and ingratiating as before.
Only then did they regain the right to use the yard and leave satisfied.
"you……"
Sun Huixia felt dissatisfied after hearing this.
Thinking of Li Zeyan, whom she had met last time, she realized that he was handsome. If she could climb the social ladder, how would these people dare to look down on her?
After thinking about this, he couldn't sit still any longer, so he made up an excuse and left the Lin residence.
Prior to this, Jiaotong University had heard that Li Zeyan's most frequent haunt was a teahouse in Beijing.
Sure enough, they successfully met here.
"Third...Third Prince..." Although Sun Huixia was foolish, she had a stunningly beautiful appearance that made people's hearts flutter.
Li Zeyan had no reason to turn down such a beautiful woman who was offered to him.
"Miss Sun?" He racked his brains and finally remembered who this beautiful woman in front of him was.
Hearing that Li Zeyan still remembered her name, Sun Huixia felt proud and deliberately put on a shy expression.
"I never expected the Third Prince to remember me. I am truly flattered," Sun Huixia said, blushing quickly.
"Miss Sun has delicate features and is unforgettable. Even though we parted in haste last time, I have never forgotten her appearance."
Both of them had their own agendas, and they quickly came together.
However, Sun Huixia did not mention this matter to anyone.
No matter what, he is Lin Ruqin's fiancé. If people find out about this, it will damage his reputation.
At this moment, Lin Rusi also learned about this from Wanqi.
"This is getting more and more interesting. I never expected him to secretly go out and meet with Li Zeyan. That's something I didn't expect."
Lin Rusi was arranging flowers when she heard these words and felt that she could give them a helping hand.
In their past lives, the two sisters caused themselves considerable harm.
Now that I finally have a chance for revenge, I will not let it slip away easily.
"Miss, what should we do now?"
Wanqi then asked.
"Don't make this public yet. Let them enjoy themselves for a few days. I want to see what will happen if these two sisters fall for the same man."
"Yes."
The following day, Sun Huixia met with Li Zeyan in secret outside, and only returned secretly in the afternoon.
But I never expected to run into Lin Ruqin as soon as I got back.
“Cousin, you’ve been going out late every day. Where have you been? This capital city is different from other places. You can’t do anything that would tarnish our family’s reputation.”
Sun Huixia felt dissatisfied after hearing this.
Thinking back to the tender moments she shared with Li Zeyan, she always felt that her cousin in front of her was truly ridiculous.
Her fiancé had already fallen for her, but she was completely unaware.
"Cousin, no matter what, I'm still your older cousin. I don't need to report everything I do to you, do I?"
After saying this, he returned to his own courtyard.
Hongzhi was displeased upon hearing this.
"Miss, this is too much. The reason we're here is all thanks to you, but you don't appreciate it at all."
"Fine, let Sun Huixia do whatever she wants. If she makes any mistakes later, we can find a reason to send this family back."
After saying this, Lin Ruqin turned to leave.
For the next few days, Sun Huixia harbored a subtle, unspoken hostility towards Lin Ruqin.
"Cousin, I'm not trying to criticize you, but you'll soon be the Third Prince's consort. Why are you still acting so undignified?"
Lin Ruqin found it somewhat amusing.
It was just flying a kite in the yard for a while, how did it become so-called "improper conduct" in her mouth?
Lin Rusi, who was standing to the side, also noticed that the two sisters were openly and secretly competing with each other.
It's probably because of Li Zeyan.
“Huixia, speaking of which, the Third Prince is the closest in age to you. It’s just a pity that you are not a daughter of our Lin family, otherwise I think the two of you would be a match made in heaven.”
"you……"
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruqin also felt dissatisfied.
"You're absolutely right, cousin. You'd better keep a close eye on your fiancé."
