The Young master's fake bride and her lucky system-Chapter 600: The internal heat of jealousy
Chapter 600: The internal heat of jealousy
"Yes dad, i promise not to make her ever shed a tear. I will protect and love her all my life." Caishen responded.
"Dad..." Alix whispered coquettishly.
Deep down, the threats pleased her a little bit. She felt warm inside, like a child whose father was waiting outside school on a rainy day with an umbrella in hand.
Lin Qianfan had never done that for her, he had done it for Billi though. If she had grown up under the chairman’s care, there was no doubt he would have done it for her.
She felt even closer to her father than ever before and the tears in her eyes increased. Who knew that someday when she got married, her side of the family would actually be packed full of relatives happy for her and she would have a dad walk her down the aisle instead of dragging her like unwanted baggage?
"Dad.." she called him bashfully.
He pulled her in for a hug, understanding what she was feeling.
"Dad knows, dad really knows." he comforted her.
He handed her back to Caishen and went down to join his family. His wife and mother were already dabbing at the corners of their eyes. It was understandable why they were crying, but why was Tai Fong crying too? So openly and loudly at that?
"Quiet him down." He whispered to Tai Change.
Tai Change had no idea how to stop his younger brother from crying. He settled for glaring at him and threatening him with his eyes. Even little Peach was not crying, so why was the adult making a scene?
There was nothing they could do anyway so they let him be and paid attention to the wedding. Nobody wanted to miss a single moment.
In the meantime, XBS had already released the pictures and a short video captured at the moment when Alix and Caishen got on the carriage.
The pictures had been shared, downloaded and spread far and wide. They had actually managed to top news about Wukong’s funeral.
**************
As it was with all of Alix’s other accomplishments, Caishen had given instructions to his men to ensure that the Lin’s watched the wedding forcefully. They could not miss even one moment of it.
Even the old grandma Lin and Alix’s aunt had been driven to the countryside to join their son and daughter-in-law. From the day of arrival until now, grandma Lin had not stopped complaining bitterly about the hardships she was facing.
She always imagined that she would the rest of her days out in glory and wealth, being served by a dozen maids in her large villa. Now, she was back to her roots in the countryside, with only her daughter to wait on her. They were fed simple ordinary meals and mostly vegetarian and if she wanted special meals, the nurse had told her to get a job and pay for them personally.
As if that misery was not enough, she was being forced to watch Alix’s crowning moment. She wanted to raise her voice and curse but she could not say a word in fear of Caishen’s men.
Lin Qianfan on the other hand spit up blood when the couple bowed before the parents. He had endured when chairman Tai walked Alix down the aisle and they shared an emotional hug. Seeing her smile so brightly and bow for the Tai couple was too much to take.
"Unfilial daughter..." he whispered. How could she do such a thing when he was still alive? If his body could work, he would be at the hotel making a scene already.
Lin Billi was crying silently, filled with regret. If she had just accepted to marry Caishen when he was in that wheelchair, all of Alix’s glory, fame, adoration of the Tai’s and money would be hers. How could she have known that he would have the opportunity to recover and would become even wealthier than before?
That glorious fairy tale wedding should have been hers, those flowers and beautiful lights. The man especially, a handsome worthy man like Caishen should have been hers. In what way was Alix deserving of him?
Billi and her mother were the same, and their thoughts were similar. Jing Hee was also of the opinion that all the things Alix had now were supposed to belong to her daughter.
Her one regret was forcing Alix to marry Caishen back then. It was that day when things started to change for them and their lives were ruined. Even if Billi didn’t want to marry him, they should not have given the opportunity to Alix.
They had provided a ladder for her to climb up and when she reached the top, she smashed them with stones and broke the ladder so that they could not climb up as well.
She opened and closed her mouth, trying to curse and call Alix foul names but all that came out was air and hissing.
Suddenly, she coughed up blood as well, prompting the caretaker to frown.
"What is wrong with all of you now? Why is everyone spitting up blood?"
"They have too much internal heat." A bodyguard answered.
All of them laughed at the joke, what he meant by internal heat was jealousy. The Lin’s were burning with jealousy wishing they could drag Alix down but incapable of touching even one hair on her head now.
If Alix could hear their thoughts, she would have told them to put aside their wishful thinking. Her relationship with the Tai’s was thanks to the system. Lin Billi would never have climbed their thighs with her mediocre talent no matter how hard she tried.
Also, when it came to Caishen, they had been through some thick and thin to get to this point. If Alix did not have the system, there was no guarantee she could have cured his legs, charmed him and made him fall in love with her.
Even if Billi had been the one that married him on that day, without a system, she could not have accomplished these things. It was all wishful thinking on her side.
"Oh, i heard that the young madam is pregnant and she is expecting five babies." The same bodyguard casually mentioned.
The gossipy nurse nodded eagerly. "It’s true, the Zhang elders are so happy that they are lavishing her with gifts and shares in different companies. Rumor has it that they are already setting aside assets for the unborn children, especially the boys. The Tai’s are also making arrangements, setting aside assets for the female babies." She sighed, "It’s like a preparation to welcome royal children."
The bodyguards snickered and looked at Billi provocatively. "Some people have all the luck in the world and our young madam is one of them. It was the doing of heaven for the young master and her to come together, I wonder if they gave their matchmaker a big gift."
Billi’s eyes rolled upwards and she fainted. The reason was because she was the matchmaker that brought Alix and Caishen together. If she had not tricked and forced her into marrying Caishen back then, she would not be here, a vegetable while Alix was up there.
"Huh! another one that has spit out blood and fainted because of anger. Tsk, tsk, you are all suffering from internal heat."
