Chapter 20 – The most important thing was that the public’s opinion of Lin Yiyi was already at the bottom and couldn’t get any worse (2)

The novel’s Lin Yiyi had a talented mother. Back then, Lin Ping had gotten rich through the seafood industry. She had practically taken over the entire seafood business in their city. After earning this money, she didn’t thinking about saving it up. Instead, seeing that the prices for houses were going up every day, she immediately invested her money into real estate. In no time at all, their family had become the nouveau riche.

At that time, the new money had gotten into the novel’s Lin Yiyi’s father’s head. He hooked up with a young woman at a dance hall. When her mother found out, she directly led a group of security guards to catch the couple in the act. After that, there was a series of divorce lawsuits.

Speaking of this, Lin Ping was truly admirable. Her response to the adultery had been swift and decisive. She directly drove her husband out of the southern city.

He had no other choice, but to leave the southern city. He didn’t have Lin Ping’s ability and didn’t know how to earn money. Although he had gotten money from the divorce settlement, he couldn’t live off that money forever.

Later on, when he had settled down in his new situation and wanted to find a job in the southern city, his attempts were always ruined by Lin Ping. One of the most extreme examples was when his wily friend had recommended him for a job, and this friend ended up getting a sack over his head and beaten up by a group of people. After that incident, no one dared to help him out.

This woman was like a tigress. Average men could only surrender. When they saw her, their legs would feel weak, and they would take a detour.

Unexpectedly, the person that would become her stepfather appeared. He was a marvel!

His name was Gu Chengyi. His family had immigrated in his grandfather’s generation.

Seeing that there was value in investing in the Chinese financial market, he had taken a trip over here.

Just by their names, Gu Chengyi and Lin Ping, one could see that they were people from two different worlds.

One person was an outstanding graduate from Cambridge. He was a youthful, refined, and very elegant entrenuper that had come here from overseas.

The other person was nouveau riche that had earned her fortune in middle age, and she was a divorced woman with a big and fierce temper. If she had been born eighty years earlier, she might have been a mountain bandit.

When they had first met, Gu Chenyi though that although this woman was beautiful, she had a wild horse’s spirit and no trace of femininity.

Back then, Lin Ping thought that good men didn’t exist. The immaculately dressed Gu Chenyi, who had an aura of gentility, seemed like a pretentious prick to her. She was sure that he was a beast dressed in human attire.

It could be said that these two people seemed as if they were totally incompatible, and no one would match them together.

However, these two people unexpectedly got together. So many glasses had fallen down from shock!

Alright, let’s stop the gossiping here. Lin Yiyi returned to her sense and quickly spoke to save her stepfather from disaster. “Mom, I didn’t try to kill myself. If I had done that, wouldn’t you be talking to a ghost, right now?”

Her daughter’s words immediately cut off Lin Ping’s long-winded yaking.

Speaking of this, she had been so busy earning money that she didn’t spend much time raising her daughter. By the time she realized her error, her daughter was already past the age when she would listen to her mother’s advice.

When Yiyi had fallen in love with Meng Yan, she had been against their relationship in her heart. However, seeing how happy her daughter looked, she was incapable of intervening.

Sometimes, there were many decisions and paths that could only be made and walked by yourself. Parents could only served as guides. They couldn’t take their children’s place in life’s unavoidable course of events.
