My Wife is a Goddess: 99 Secret Kisses

"Dear Lin, why aren’t you eating? Doesn’t it suit your taste? I remember to order your favorite dishes." Li Lifen said in a concerned tone.

Xue Lin almost rolled her eyes. ’Her melodrama started. Shakespearean dramas failed to her melodrama.’ She looked at her mother and replied, "How strange! They are not my favorite but your beloved eldest daughter’s favorite. What kind of mother are you not to remember something like that?" Her tone was ruthless and void of any emotion.

Li Lifen’s whole body stiffened.

Fa Jingfei helped her mother. "Xiao Lin, you shouldn’t talk to your mother like that. She thought of you while ordering the meals."

’Here goes her sweet tongue.’ Xue Lin replied, "She was thinking of me so much so that she ended up ordering someone else’s favorite. How ironic!"

"Hahahaha... My youngest daughter always makes jokes. Please, Mr. Ge, don’t take it seriously." Fa Xiaodan tried to make

"I was serious though." Xue Lin mutter and everyone heard her. Since her mood wasn’t good, she wouldn’t let them have a good meal. After all, they tricked her first. They didn’t show her any empathy, so she wouldn’t show them empathy either. She has no desire to be a saint. Not to them at least.

"Dad, I don’t like her. She is too blunt and she has no womanly charm. If grandpa really wants me to get married to this family, I’d rather take the elder sister." Ge Junjie pointed out at Fa Jingfei.

Fa Jingfei was startled at first. Her face started to turn pale. It would be great to marry into the Ge Family but she already heard from her mother that this guy was a well-known playboy. Any woman who marries him will have a painful life ahead. She started to stutter, "T-that can’t be..."

Even her mother Li Lifen was nervous. She didn’t want her beloved daughter to get married to a scoundrel like him.

Fa Xiaodan said, "Xiao Junjie, please don’t get mad. My Xiao Lan is acting like this because we gave her a surprise and she doesn’t like surprises. This marriage was settled by your grandfather. You can’t say ’no’ to him, right?" He wouldn’t dare to say ’no’ to the Head of the Ge Family.

’That unknown old geezer, whoever it is, died of a terrible disease. How dare you to try to arrange my marriage without my permission and you don’t even know me!’ Xue Lin clenched her fists. ’Rich people are the worst. Just because they have money, they think they have the right to play with other’s lives.’

No one saw Xue Lin’s expression. It didn’t look like Ge Family’s Bai Yue and Ge Junjie were happy with an uneducated skinny girl, but Ge Chuan Li and Fa Xiaodan continued their conversation. Sometimes, Xue Lin’s brother-in-law joined them.

"Since it has been already decided, we can fix the date of the engagement." Ge Chuan Li said.

"I agree." Fa Xiaodan nodded.

Ge Junjie protested again, "Dad, you can’t be serious. This girl is so puny. She looks like a middle school student. I’m not a pedophile."

’Oh, hello? Doesn’t my opinion matter? Why is everyone following an old man’s order? Are they all puppets? And they think themselves as powerful people? How pathetic can it be?’ Xue Lin sighed.

Ge Chuan Li sighed. "Son, that’s not yours to decide. If it was that easy, we wouldn’t tell you to come with us today. Don’t forget, everything depends on your decision."

Ge Junjie clicked his tongue in annoyance. He checked out La Jingfei once again making the mother-daughter pair stiffen.

Xue Lin didn’t look at her sister or mother. She suddenly wanted to laugh and she couldn’t control it. She stopped eating and started laughing. Everyone looked at her in astonishment.

She was thinking, ’This is the most hilarious matchmaking season that can ever happen to her.’ She laughed till her stomach started to hurt and her eyes teared up. No one knew if those tears were full of sadness or irony.

Her mother didn’t want her eldest daughter to marry into a family like this but she insisted her youngest daughter marry this guy. What did she ever do to her parents to make them hate her so much so that they tricked her to come back to get married to a man like him?

All of a sudden, she stopped smiling, and making everyone shocked, she grabbed the glass of wine and splashed the wine aiming at her father. Fa Xiaodan was drenched with red wine. She muttered, "Trash."

The whole restaurant turned silent as they watched the story unfold. They heard the little girl called his father ’trash’, humiliating him in front of everyone.

Xue Lin wiped her mouth as everyone gaped at her. They couldn’t utter a single word. They even forgot to breathe loudly.

She stood up and turned around to leave. Before she left, she looked at Ge Chuan Li and said, "Mister, tell your father that I’m not interested in someone’s command whom I never met before. If he has enough free time, tell him to play with dolls. Human beings have lots of things to do. They don’t have time for his childish game. It’s a nasty one too."

And they saw her leave. They couldn’t do anything to stop her.
