This time, it was Lin Rulong's turn to be enraged. Below the stage stood more than half of Provincial City's upper-class figures. Lin Qingyun's public defiance was a slap in the face. How could he, Lin Rulong, ever hold his head high again after this?
"Lin Qingyun! Are you determined to embarrass me?" Lin Rulong bellowed. "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Are you still pining for that Zhao Dong? Let me tell you, it's impossible between you two! You are destined to be the Xiao Family's bride! Hurry up and tell Steward Xiao that you have completely forgotten that boy, or don't blame me for disregarding our ties as father and daughter!"
Lin Rulong had completely torn off his mask of pretense, and everyone assumed Lin Qingyun would finally yield. But in the next moment, another cold snort escaped her lips. The crowd was utterly dumbfounded, and Lin Rulong was left completely mortified on stage.
