"That just leaves sending Ge Guifen to jail first," Lin Zhenghao said indifferently.

"I had expected that either Lu Youzhen or Ge Guifen would end up taking the blame fully upon themselves," Lin Zhenghao said. "If someone had to take on the full brunt of the accusations, it would most likely be Ge Guifen."

"So, this isn’t far from what I had originally anticipated," Lin Zhenghao stated. "At most, it adds the complication of marrying Lu Youzhen."

Lin Jingming raised his voice and asked, "But if we send Ge Guifen to jail, will Lu Youzhen still be willing to marry into our family?"

"What is Lu Youzhen but a thing that would stop at nothing for personal gain?" Lin Jingshen sneered. "Even if Ge Guifen is imprisoned, as long as we say we can marry Lu Youzhen... Alternatively, we can tell Lu Youzhen directly that their threats have indeed angered us."

"This means we must vent our fury. We can marry Lu Youzhen, sure, but Ge Guifen must be sent to prison. That way, once our anger is appeased, we can marry her," Lin Jingshen suddenly spoke with newfound cleverness.

"Just wait and see, Lu Youzhen will definitely choose to send Ge Guifen to jail and then marry into our family," Lin Jingshen confidently stated.

"Then you’ll talk to Lu Youzhen tomorrow," Lin Zhenghao said seriously. "Let’s settle this matter sooner rather than later, to avoid unnecessary complications."

"And, we were about to confront them anyway," Lin Zhenghao added.

"Alright," Lin Jingshen nodded and agreed.

The next day, Lin Jingshen contacted Lu Youzhen.

Lu Youzhen was surprised; why would Lin Jingshen take the initiative to contact her?

On the one hand, she was preoccupied with caring for the child, and even with the help of a nanny and Ge Guifen, she found it difficult to leave the child and have fun on her own.

On the other hand, her figure had not yet recovered, and the damage caused by childbirth had left Lu Youzhen’s mood consistently down.

Lin Jingshen had made it clear he had no intention of marrying her.

Lu Youzhen still didn’t know what to do in the future.

So now, due to physical and emotional distress, along with the child keeping her tied down, Lu Youzhen had seldom left the house.

Even when selecting a house with Ge Guifen and Lu Youbang, she only visited after Ge Guifen and Lu Youbang had made their choice to just have a look and to sign the contract.

Lu Youzhen was nearly completely disconnected from the outside world.

And Lu Youbang had been busy with matters related to the house, often being absent from school and not attending much.

On the day Lin Jingshen harassed Lu Youxi, and Zhou Shuyan personally went to the school, Lu Youbang just happened to be absent.

Such a coincidence that he remained unaware of the incident between Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan.

Therefore, when Lu Youzhen received the call from Lin Jingshen, she was quite perplexed.

Unable to understand why Lin Jingshen would reach out to her suddenly.

Still, Lu Youzhen decided to meet Lin Jingshen.

Because of this, on the evening before meeting him, Lu Youzhen rummaged through her wardrobe trying on clothes that would be suitable.

"Youzhen, what are you fussing about?" Ge Guifen asked.

"It’s Lin Jingshen; he wants to meet up, but I have no idea what for," Lu Youzhen holding a blouse in front of herself said. "So, I need to dress up nicely, I can’t look bad in front of him."

"Exactly," Ge Guifen quickly nodded in agreement. "Who knows, maybe he can’t let go of you. You should dress beautifully and make his heart skip a beat when he sees you."

"And maybe, just maybe, he’s going to propose marriage," Ge Guifen suggested.

Lu Youzhen thought about it and couldn’t come up with any other possibility either.

Finally, she found an outfit that she was satisfied with, one that could conceal her current physical imperfections.

At the moment, Lu Youzhen’s waist was just thicker than before and had not yet returned to its pre-pregnancy state.

But her arms and legs were still slender, especially her small delicate face.

Just seeing her face and limbs, no one could tell she had put on any weight.

Having chosen her attire, Lu Youzhen headed to the restaurant where she was meeting Lin Jingshen the next day.

Lin Jingshen had booked a teahouse.

As soon as I entered, I was greeted by a refreshing and pleasant tea fragrance.

The interior was very quiet; one could see the doors to the various rooms, but not a sound seeped through.

The waiter led Lu Youzhen to the room Lin Jingshen had reserved.

On opening the door, Lin Jingshen was already seated inside.

Lu Youzhen was quite surprised, as it was always she who arrived first for their meetings.

She hadn’t expected Lin Jingshen to be waiting for her here this time.

It was truly out of the ordinary.

The room was quite spacious.

In addition to the wooden tea table, there were pools lining three walls.

Within the pools swam water lilies and small fish.

Lu Youzhen sat opposite Lin Jingshen, who was washing the tea leaves on the tea tray.

Lu Youzhen just felt that Lin Jingshen was really putting on an act.

"What do you want with me?" Lu Youzhen asked sarcastically, "It couldn’t be that you want to marry me, could it?"

"Yes." Lin Jingshen put down his cup and suddenly replied.

It was Lu Youzhen who was taken aback, blinking, "What did you say?"

She doubted she had heard correctly or had heard clearly.

"I indeed intend to marry you," Lin Jingshen said.

Lu Youzhen couldn’t describe what she was feeling at the moment.

There was surprise, but even more confusion.

Lin Jingshen and his parents had always been very resistant to marrying her.

They had even promised to give her money every month to avoid marriage.

So why all of a sudden did they want to get married?

"How come? The 50,000 yuan per month suddenly pains you to give, so you don’t want to anymore?" Lu Youzhen asked, raising an eyebrow.

At that moment, Lu Youzhen’s phone suddenly rang.

She took it out and saw it was a call from Ge Guifen.

She hesitated about whether to answer.

She guessed that Ge Guifen was probably calling to ask what she was discussing with Lin Jingshen.

Ge Guifen still hadn’t given up the idea of getting Lu Youzhen to marry Lin Jingshen.

But she had just arrived not long ago and had only just begun talking with Lin Jingshen; they hadn’t gone into detail. Ge Guifen’s call came so urgently, it was a bit too hasty.

Even if she answered, she wouldn’t have anything to tell Ge Guifen.

Lin Jingshen, however, said, "Aren’t you going to answer the call?"

Lin Jingshen, seeing the name displayed on the phone screen, showed a smile that Lu Youzhen couldn’t understand, "Is it Ge Guifen’s call?"

"You’d better answer it," Lin Jingshen said. "It might be something especially important."

Lu Youzhen felt that Lin Jingshen’s reaction was off, so she skeptically answered the call.

"Mom, what is it?" Lu Youzhen asked as she answered.

Then Ge Guifen’s voice came through the phone, anxious and flustered, "Youzhen, are you with Lin Jingshen right now?"

"I am, but I’ve just arrived and we haven’t started talking yet," Lu Youzhen thought to herself that her guess was indeed correct; Ge Guifen was calling about just that.

Yet, she hadn’t anticipated that Ge Guifen would suddenly raise her voice, "Then you hurry up and ask Lin Jingshen what he means!"
