When Xu Wen Jing’s phone rang, she hesitated for a moment before picking it up.
Seeing that it was Lin Yi Chen calling, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief, but at the same time, a hint of unease crept in.
However, recalling what her father and mother had said, she calmed down and answered the call.
“Are you done with your work, Ah Chen?” Xu Wen Jing spoke softly, her tone incredibly gentle.
Meanwhile, Lin Yi Chen suppressing his inner disgust, replied in a gentle voice, “Yes, have you returned home?”
“I’m back,” Xu Wen Jing replied immediately.
“That’s good. I was worried you might be surrounded by reporters. It’s a relief that you’re safe,” Lin Yi Chen said.
Seeing that Lin Yi Chen was still concerned about her at this time, Xu Wen Jing couldn’t help but feel delighted.
It seems that Ah Chen doesn’t believe those online rumors at all.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t treat me the same as before!
Thinking this, Xu Wen Jing’s mind relaxed completely. But what she never expected was that this time, Lin Yi Chen went straight to the point.
“Wen Jing, I want to ask you, are those things online true? Did you really have a relationship with a black man?” Lin Yi Chen’s voice came through the phone.
Xu Wen Jing immediately clenched her phone, her expression anxious.
But soon, she forced a somewhat strained smile and replied, “Of course, it’s not true. Black people look so ugly and disgusting, why would I be interested in them?”
“All those are malicious slander from internet users. Nowadays, some netizens are particularly hostile to the wealthy. They see someone like a rich second-generation like me, and they assume we must lead a wild life. Besides, how could I ever be interested in them when they don’t even compare to you, Ah Chen?” Xu Wen Jing declared earnestly.
Hearing this, Lin Yi Chen fell silent for a moment.
Then he asked, “Then why did you break off our engagement back then?”
When this question was asked, Xu Wen Jing was momentarily puzzled.
Why did she break off the engagement?
Of course, it’s because you were someone in the Lin family without status or inheritance rights.
How could I, Xu Wen Jing, possibly be interested in a man with nothing, even if you were handsome back then?
But naturally, she couldn’t speak the truth.
So, Xu Wen Jing stammered in response, “Ah Chen, at the time, I didn’t know either. I never wanted to call off our engagement. It’s just that my parents were quite agitated about it. They felt that we shouldn’t hastily set our marriage because of the casual words of our grandfathers’ generation. So they kept opposing my marriage to you.”
“I didn’t want to agree either, but I couldn’t resist their pressure,” Xu Wen Jing neatly shifted the blame.
After all, even if Lin Yi Chen were to inquire further later, he would have to ask Wen Jing’s parents or Mr. Lin!
As for her parents, they would certainly not reveal the true story from back then.
As for Mr. Lin, that was even less likely!
After all, her future father-in-law was well aware of what kind of woman she was, yet he still agreed to her engagement with Lin Yi Chen.
Relieved that Lin Yi Chen seemed to believe her, Xu Wen Jing was about to breathe a sigh of relief. However, in the next moment, she was nearly petrified as Lin Yi Chen continued, “So, what about your involvement with Dr. Li Chao? What’s the story there?”
Hearing Lin Yi Chen mention Dr. Li Chao’s name, Xu Wen Jing’s heart skipped a beat, and her face turned pale.
Lin Yi Chen was indeed suspicious of her and Li Chao!
Damn it!
