Chapter 548.2: Sun Yi Lin’s Predestined Love?
Some things, as long as there was a thread, then it can just draw out an even longer string. Even though it was just the tip of the iceberg, it was still more than enough to make people alarmed. To want to deal with someone like Jin Qinwang, one can’t act blindly without thinking. If one were to act, one must hit the bullseye in one stroke, else immediately after, he can just have you gnawed until not even the bones were left. That’s why, one must be patient, cautious, and thorough.
Sun Yi Lin’s mid-autumn was spent together with the Luo family in the Luo Manor. It can also be considered experiencing for once the happy atmosphere brought about by a harmonious family, but that kind of joyous mood wasn’t able to last for too long either, because the Luo family wasn’t his family after all.
After organizing his small number of things, he prepared to leave the capital.
Precisely at this time, someone came to the Luo Manor, and moreover, even a young lady, directly stating that she wanted to meet Sun Yi Lin.
Sun Yi Lin was originally playing chess with Luo Jing Bo, while Sun Yi Jia watched at the side.
Hearing the news passed in by the guards, Sun Yi Jia’s gaze towards her own older brother carried a bit of astonishment and amusement. This was some love debt her fifth brother left behind outside? Aiyoo, this was really too hard to come by.
Sun Yi Lin’s brows furrowed into a knot. Sun Yi Jia noticed. Afraid, it wasn’t some happy matter. Originally, she was still thinking of teasing him a little, but now, “Fifth brother, how about I let someone have the person driven away?” An unrelated young lady that was neither friend nor family, scaling the gates to look for a man, this kind of person, never mind driving away, even if never letting them appear again, it was all very simple.
Sun Yi Lin looked towards Sun Yi Jia, carrying a bit of surprise and disapproval, “Little sis, that is just a young lady.” Driving away was easy, and even easier to ruin, but how can you be this ruthless?
Sun Yi Jia was speechless, “I was considering for your sake! I thought it was someone bothering you, but it seems my good intentions were treated as bad intentions?” Her fifth brother’s temperament appeared gentle, but in reality, in his bones, he was very cold and detached, especially towards unrelated people. Now that he has changed this much, even on the surface, he was no longer gentle. Could it be that now he has become gentle in his bones?
Sun Yi Lin massaged between his brows, penetrating with helplessness.
These days, the two siblings have interacted quite frequently. Sun Yi Lin’s mood finally had times where it eased, no longer that stiff the whole time, unable to feel any emotions, but for his emotions to be obvious like this right now, it was still a first.
Sun Yi Jia this time was really curious.
“Have the person brought in.” The other party has never been to the capital before. To be in an unfamiliar place, one can’t just ignore.
The person was very quickly brought in. When still relatively far away, Sun Yi Jia could already sense her delight and excitement from her steps. Just, after approaching, meeting with her older brother’s expressionless face, she instantly just became careful and cautious, carrying nervousness, seemingly fearing that she would make her older brother unhappy.
This girl wasn’t really that beautiful, her face even somewhat smooth and round, yet she appeared quite lovable, her upbringing also very good. Sun Yi Jia figured that she probably even came from a large family clan. Her eyes were very clean. From this, it can be seen that if not the kind that was just openminded by nature, not liking bicker, then it was just that her living environment was relatively simple. If she really came from a large family clan, then it should be the former. And also that gaze, it clearly penetrated fondness towards her older brother, but it was very pure, and didn’t because of her older brother’s current appearance, just dye with abnormality.
Sun Yi Jia’s heart moved.
“Yi Lin.”
TN: All
“Min Xian Yuan.” Sun Yi Lin interrupted her, “With just a servant girl and a mama, you just dared to travel thousands of miles to the capital? Do you know what you’re doing? You, a young lady, if by chance, encounter danger, what will you do?”
That tone was very harsh, but naturally also had worry and concern that even he himself didn’t notice.
Sun Yi Jia took it all in, her certain thoughts inside becoming increasingly clear.
Min Xiao Yuan lowered her head, her hands unconsciously tugging the handkerchief, while also lifting her eyes to carefully peek at Sun Yi Lin, “About that, also brought along an attendant from my older brother and a carriage driver.” She quietly said.
Sun Yi Lin choked, clearly getting stifled. His eyes spun, seemingly almost rolling his eyes.
Sun Yi Jia let out a ‘pfft’, laughing out loud, but she hurriedly used the handkerchief to cover her mouth. Shortly after, she calmly lifted the teacup as if nothing had happened. About that, she didn’t do anything, please ignore her, you two continue, please continue.
And Luo Jing Bo this while was also ‘drinking tea’. The husband and wife pair were connected at the heart, their line of sight converging in the air from behind the teacup, revealing a tacit smile. However, surname Min? Is it a young lady from the Min clan?
Sun Yi Lin glanced at them, not saying anything, “Is this the important point?”
Min Xiao Yuan also glanced at Sun Yi Jia and Luo Jing Bo. If her assumption is correct, then this should be Sun Yi Lin’s younger sister and brother-in-law. Regarding Sun Yi Lin’s matters, she’d all inquired about clearly, but if he doesn’t introduce for her, she can’t just act familiar on her own. Moreover, her focus right now was to let Sun Yi Lin have her kept behind. “Then what is the important point? Weren’t you disdaining that I didn’t bring enough people?” Min Xiao Yuan penetrated with an innocent confusion.
Sun Yi Lin was a bit defeated. It was obvious, this kind of thing already wasn’t the first time, “You shouldn’t have come to the capital.”
Upon hearing this, Min Xiao Yuan’s eyes somewhat reddened, her hand that was tugging the handkerchief somewhat turning white.
Sun Yi Lin questioned whether or not he’d spoken too bluntly, but some things, since he couldn’t accomplish, unable to promise, then he shouldn’t drag on and lead on. However, this girl seemingly was stubborn. It also wasn’t the first or second time he bluntly rejected her, but one still didn’t see her pull back in the slightest. “Miss Min, hiding from your family and chasing after an unrelated man everywhere isn’t something a young lady from a respectable family should do to begin with. Never mind that your family will worry, if found out by others, not only you yourself, but even your parents and elders will all get pointed at and criticized. Your sisters will also because of your actions have their reputation damaged. Whether it’s out of selfishness, or just willful, you all shouldn’t……….”
“Gentleman Sun.” The mama following behind Min Xian Yuan finally couldn’t listen anymore.
However, Sun Yi Lin just coldly swept her a glance, continuing to speak, and towards Min Xiao Yuan’s falling tears, he also ignored, “I’ve long told you before, between us, it’s impossible. Setting aside the fact that right now, I’m alone on my own, having no official post, no noble title, and no fixed property, so how can I afford to provide for a pampered young lady from a wealthy family like you, even for myself, I’ve also never thought of taking a wife. That’s why, return to wherever you came from, and don’t cause trouble for others, understand?”
This was Sun Yi Jia’s first time hearing her own older brother speak this relentlessly. To speak of a young lady like this, it was really too much. Moreover, this girl didn’t seem like a shameless one. To be able to do something like following him to the capital, presumably it was already the most out of line thing she’s done. Even if wanting to reject, still be a bit more tactful. “Fifth brother.”
“Little sis, this is my business, so don’t interfere, just take care of your own matters.” Sun Yi Lin turned his head and sternly said.
Sun Yi Jia this time clearly also got angered by him, having the cup in hand placed down, “Fine, I won’t get involved, just do what you want then.”
This time, Luo Jing Bo headached. A pregnant woman’s temper was peculiar. When his wife wasn’t angry, it was still okay, but once angered, even if he used everything he got, he still may not necessarily be able to have her coaxed back.
Older brother-in-law, you can’t just screw me over like this.
Min Xiao Yuan wiped her tears, “To have bothered gentleman today, I will leave immediately.” As she said this, she directly left, very much straightforward. Just, her entire person all penetrated with a sense of stubbornness.
“Miss…” Min Xiao Yuan’s servant girl and mama both worryingly called out.
“We’re leaving, what are we staying here for, to get disdained?” Min Xiao Yuan picked up her pace.
Min Xiao Yuan’s behavior made one surprised. To chase over from thousands of miles away, yet just giving up this easily.
Only Sun Yi Lin just felt his head ache even more, “Little sis, send someone to go check where they are staying. It’s their first time in the capital, so easy to get cheated by strangers.”
“Fifth brother’s matters, didn’t you not let me get involved? What are you looking at me for?” Sun Yi Jia coldly said.
“Little sis.” Sun Yi Lin was helpless, “This girl comes from the Min clan. Her grandfather and the Min clan clan leader are tang brothers. This branch of theirs have developed quite well, and she’s the direct line’s di young lady. She should have an appropriately matched good marriage, and not be involved with me. Right now, my future is unknown, and I further don’t want to marry, so don’t want to hold her up, understand?”
“Fifth brother, when did you become acquainted with her?”
“Two years ago.” Sun Yi Lin although didn’t understand why she asked this, but he still truthfully answered.
“How old is she right now, do you know?”
Sun Yi Lin’s face slightly stiffened, “Probably eighteen.”
Sun Yi Jia coldly sneered, “Clearly, you’ve already held up the other party. We’re all born from large influential families, what it’s like inside, you’re very clear about. When you met her, she was already sixteen. How possible do you think it was for her to not have an engagement? For her to still be able to run after you even now, her marriage arrangements clearly have fallen through. Not even that many men of large influential families can control their own marriage, let alone a young lady. To resist against one’s own marriage arrangements, do you know how much courage and determination is needed? If not careful, the family would rather have them killed. For her to still be able to stand before you, aside from her parents probably being merciful, loving her, her own sacrifices absolutely won’t be few. But, she still carried such vitality, which shows that towards her own sacrifices, she didn’t regret. She perhaps rebelled against the norm, but she’s brave enough to pursue her desires. Even if you reject, you still shouldn’t use words to hurt her. Anyone can all criticize her, but only you can’t. Besides, a pampered young lady encountering a man outside that captured her heart, how is it possible for her family to not question or look into that man? But, why do I feel that you’ve never interacted with her family before? What did this mean? It means that Miss Min stopped her family from looking for you, so as to avoid causing trouble for you.”
Sun Yi Lin massaged his aching temples.
