"Lin Jiao, do you even know what you're saying?!"
"You want to marry Eldest Young Master; that's your own choice. Now you want me to help you get on the wedding carriage? Help you run away?!"
"What do you take me for? And what do you think of the Tang family? Have you considered what will happen to the Lin family and me afterward? What we will face?"
She looked at me and said, "Do you think I don't understand enough?"
"Lin Yue, you know that the Tang family cannot be trifled with."
"If they find out that they were supposed to marry me but ended up with you, what do you think they will do?"
"Do you want them to come after you? Do you want to lose everything you have now? Do you want Tang Ming to know he married the wrong person?"
I looked at her coldly. "So what? You plan to threaten me with this substitute marriage and make me help you?"
"Lin Jiao, I've already severed ties with the Lin family. You can't threaten me with that anymore."
She was stunned, staring blankly at me.
"What did you say?"
I stood up, looking down at her.
"Lin Jiao, on my wedding day, Mr. Lin already wrote a letter severing our relationship. I will not be coerced by you anymore."
"Do whatever you want."
Lin Jiao screamed hysterically, grabbing a dagger from the table.
I looked at her coldly.
"Lin Jiao, do you really think you still have the leverage to threaten me?"
She glared at me and said, "You’re not afraid of threats! What about Qiu? Are you going to ignore her too?"
I was taken aback.
She continued, "I know you care about Qiu. You may have married out, but Qiu is still in the Lin family. Since she was young, she has treated you well. Even though she is just a servant of the Lin family, she dreams of being sisters with you, a daughter of the Lin family.
You both really can't see your own identities clearly. If you don’t help me, then tomorrow when I get married, I’ll take Qiu with me to the Tang family. You should know what kind of place the Tang family is, especially with elder young master Tang around. Qiu isn’t bad-looking either.
You wouldn’t want to see her being bullied, right? After all, she still has to take care of her seriously ill mother and support her younger sister’s education.
No matter how much they bully her, she can endure it."
I looked at her with anger.
"Lin Jiao, have you really lost your mind?"
She laughed a few times and said, "Yes! I am crazy!"
"You've driven me crazy!"
Thinking of Qiu, my heart was filled with panic and fear. I thought Qiu would be safe working quietly in the Lin family, but I never expected that Lin Jiao had set her sights on her. Qiu was only eighteen or nineteen when she came to the Lin family, and I was not even ten at that time. I had always been ignored by them, standing alone in the corner watching their happy family of three. It was Qiu who noticed my loneliness and often kept me company, taking care of me when I was sick. I couldn't let her be taken away by Lin Jiao to the Tang family. The housekeeper and maids had contracts signed; if Qiu voluntarily left the Lin family, she would have to pay a hefty penalty for breach of contract. She definitely wouldn't want to do that. Since she had already offended the Tang family by agreeing to the marriage, she wouldn't care about offending them again.
"Tomorrow I'll hold them off for you. You need to give me Qiu's release contract now and pay her the penalty as per the contract."
Lin Jiao put down the dagger and smiled with satisfaction.
"I'll leave the contract and money at your door tomorrow morning. After I see you get on the wedding car, I'll leave for abroad."
I looked at her and said, "Lin Jiao, you are really terrifying."
She chuckled and replied, "Terrifying? I'm doing this for myself. Aren't you doing it for yourself?"
I coldly said, "I won't be like you."
I slumped helplessly in the chair, staring at the picture frame on the wall, lost in thought.
