Chapter 109 exposed
"Although your father and your Uncle Cheng are not related by blood, they are brothers in name only, so you and A-Zheng are destined to be cousins, and there will never be a possibility between you two."
"I know you can't control your background, but what's done is done. What we need to do now is prevent things from getting worse. The truth will eventually come out. Once your identity is discovered, what will people think of you? How much criticism will A-Zheng face? How much gossip will our family have to endure? Have you thought about these consequences?"
Lin Shuyao really hadn't thought about the consequences, mainly because she hadn't guessed that the male lead and the female lead had this kind of relationship.
So now it seems that Uncle Cheng helped the female lead's father not because the other party was a big shot, but because the other party was a brother. Does that mean she doesn't have to worry about retaliation from the big shot?
But something still doesn't feel right.
If the male and female leads are nominally siblings, how did they end up together?
and many more!
Is there any possibility?
The female supporting character was eventually sent to be shot. One reason was that she impersonated the female lead, and another reason was that she found out that the female lead and the male lead were cousins. If the male and female leads wanted to be together, they had to get rid of the female supporting character!
Now that she knows about the cousin relationship, doesn't that mean she's doomed if the female lead returns?!
It's over! It's over!
She knows too much!
A layer of cold sweat crept up Lin Shuyao's back.
She bit her lower lip in annoyance.
Seeing Lin Shuyao's serious expression and her silent, biting-lip manner, Gao Jie assumed she had listened and continued:
"Auntie knows you're a sensible child, and you definitely know what to choose. If you break up with A-Zheng, I can arrange a job for you in a local performing arts troupe. With your qualifications, finding an excellent and doting partner won't be a problem after you get in. What do you say?"
She said?
Lin Shuyao was quite tempted.
If she's not an imposter.
However, the performing arts troupe requires political vetting, and marrying a soldier requires background checks. Before the female lead even returns, her identity will probably be exposed.
Moreover, it's not easy for her to build a relationship with the male lead right now. If she agrees to the male lead's mother's conditions and hurts the male lead's feelings, and then hurts him again when the truth comes out, it's no wonder the male lead hates her to death!
The sadness has probably turned into hatred.
They'll still end up getting shot!
So now she can't back down because of what the male lead's mother said. Instead, she has to face the challenge head-on and be loving and affectionate with the male lead. The more the male lead loves her, the more likely he is to give her a break when he finds out the truth!
That's it!
Lin Shuyao snapped out of her daze, jumped up from the sofa, and looked at Gao Jie with slightly red eyes. She said affectionately, "Aunt Gao, I understand what you mean. I can agree to break up with Cheng Zheng, but I won't go on blind dates with other people, and I certainly won't go anywhere else to avoid him. Because I truly love him, and I hope I can stay here and watch him silently, even if I can't be with him..."
After saying that, she stubbornly raised her head, pretending to hold back her tears, then lowered it again after a few seconds, raised her hand to wipe the wet and red corners of her eyes, "Aunt Gao, thank you for inviting me to your home for dinner today, I won't bother you any longer."
Lin Shuyao turned and walked out. Judging by the time, Cheng Zheng should have finished seeing Zhao Tiemei off by now.
Sure enough, she had only taken a few steps outside when the door was opened from the outside, and Cheng Zheng returned.
He first glanced at her slightly reddened eyes, then looked at his mother who was rubbing her forehead in frustration on the sofa, and finally took Lin Shuyao's hand and led her straight up the stairs from the living room to the second floor.
"Go to my room."
"Cheng Zheng, don't do this, Aunt Gao has told me everything..." Lin Shuyao made a feigned effort to break free, then deliberately glanced nervously toward the sofa.
Cheng Zheng immediately tightened his grip on her hand, his voice tense: "What did I tell you?"
Lin Shuyao took a deep breath and resolutely pulled her hand away: "Aunt Gao said my dad and Uncle Cheng are brothers, we can't be together... Let go..."
"Siblings who are not related by blood don't count," Cheng Zheng said earnestly, changing from holding hands to interlocking their fingers.
Lin Shuyao pouted, her almond-shaped eyes brimming with tears, looking like she was about to cry. Cheng Zheng's heart ached at the sight. He couldn't help but pull her towards him, encircling her in a protective embrace. With his other hand, he stroked the top of her head and whispered, "You're already my girlfriend. No one can change that. I'll take care of the rest."
Hearing this, Gao Jie on the sofa turned green and jumped up: "Cheng Zheng! Don't go too far! How are you going to resolve this? The fact that you and Shen Qing are cousins can't change that! You two just can't be together!"
Since things have already come to a head, Gao Jie doesn't intend to hide anything anymore.
Cheng Zheng looked calmly at his mother and said, "As long as she doesn't acknowledge my uncle as her brother, we're not considered siblings."
"You're so naive! Can you really keep a secret forever? Once people find out, where will your father and I put our faces? And your grandfather, he's so old, can he take any more trouble?! You're just trying to drive me crazy!"
Gao Jie grabbed the cushion and threw it hard on the ground, her chest heaving, clearly furious.
Lin Shuyao tugged at Cheng Zheng's hand at the right moment: "Don't argue with your mother, let's just keep this feeling in our hearts..."
"The sins committed by their ancestors should not be borne by us. Does your hand still hurt? Come upstairs with me, I bought some ointment, I'll apply it for you."
Cheng Zheng took out the ointment he had just bought outside and showed it to her.
I originally wanted to take her out, but it's inconvenient for couples to be out anywhere; home is much safer.
Lin Shuyao was forcefully pulled upstairs by him. Gao Jie looked at the two of them, who were like conjoined twins, and was so angry that she clutched her chest and couldn't catch her breath for a long time.
This is outrageous!
You brat!
