Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Gu Tong’s lips felt a slight chill, and she couldn’t help but recall all of Xia Xi’s evaluations of this father. After searching, she could only find words like ’ungrateful’, ’abandoned wife and child’, ’despicable person’.

It’s no wonder Xia Xi felt ashamed to have such a father.

”Family Head Lin’s words are unreasonable. Over the past twenty years, was it the Eldest Young Master who didn’t want to return home? Rather, he couldn’t return. He wasn’t aware of his identity, and when he reached marriageable age, he got married. According to Longxing Country’s marriage law, there’s certainly nothing wrong with that.”

Gu Tong, sharp-tongued and eloquent, didn’t even use half her wit as she directly argued with the head of the Lin Family.

”The engagement was set by Mr. Li and the Lin Family’s patriarch. There was no reason to break it! Young Master Li is guilty of breaking faith and breaking promises, and yet you defend him?” The Family Head Lin clung to a point and refused to let go, determined to take a bite out of the Eldest Young Master of the Li Family.

Gu Tong took a sip of tea and said leisurely, ”If according to Family Head Lin, Li Yan should have been thinking about the engagement as soon as he was born. Even if he was unaware of his identity, he should have considered this engagement, so as not to disappoint the lady from someone else’s family!”

She burst into laughter and continued, ”As they say, the debtor is found in the originator. If you’re unhappy about the engagement, you should take it up with the one who arranged it. If it’s so unresolved, at least find the Li Family’s head, right? Feel sorry for the girl who waited for years for nothing, while the young master’s been away for years, clueless, and questioned as soon as he returns home, looking utterly bewildered.”

Aunt He: ”...” Regardless of how one sees it, outsiders would suspect it’s the lady of the house.

Old Cheng: ”...” Just a moment ago wanting the Eldest Young Master to take charge, now they’re pushing the matter onto the lady. Shameless, absolutely shameless.

”You, you...” Lin Weihai was so furious, he ground his teeth, unable to react for a long time, and yet couldn’t continue to hold on to the argument either.

He thought for a moment, changed his strategy, and said, ”Don’t try to fool me. I’ve heard that the Eldest Young Master studied abroad for years and knows his family identity. In fact, because of this, my daughter celebrated joyfully.”

”Is that so?” Gu Tong licked her red lips and said leisurely, ”Celebrate? Did she host a ’mourning the fiancé’ banquet for it?”

Back then, during Xia Xi’s cold war with Gong Chenli, to create more of a stir, she deliberately used Lin Beauty’s name to organize a massive ’mourning the fiancé’ banquet. In hindsight, it was also a bargaining chip for a conversation.

”I think even Miss Lin didn’t want to, hoping the Eldest Young Master of the Li Family would die already! After all, nowadays, freedom in marriage is advocated, and parental orders and matchmaker words are things of the past.”

Gu Tong’s few words left Lin Weihai with no ground to stand on.

All the waiting in bitter longing, all nonsense!

”This, this...” Lin Weihai almost forgot this issue. Once he remembered, he silently cursed Xia Xi’s antics in his heart, feeling that this troublesome child was deliberately setting him up.

”Family Head Lin mentioned rumors in the provincial city earlier. It reminds me of something. I heard Miss Lin, Lin Beauty, ran off with Young Master Gong Chenli and hasn’t been heard from since. The talk is very detailed, even suggesting they have a child.”

Ever since Gu Tong arrived in Shoucheng, she’s been in close contact with Xia Xi. Being from the Lin Family, Xia Xi is naturally well-informed about the relationship between Lin Weihai and Gong Qingwan.

Therefore, before she came, they had already strategized in advance.

Xia Xi would rather see Lin Weihai fail without compensating for it and even prepared trump cards to let the rumors fly! She also repeatedly reminded Gu Tong to make sure the Lin Family suffers!

Hehehe—

Did Xia Xi even need to remind her this?

As Gu Tong’s friend, in this world, only she can bully Xia Xi, no one else can!

So, to those who once bullied her, kindly go to hell!
