Chapter 2
When she heard this voice, Lin Yuzhen trembled a little.
She looked up at Lin Xiao who was standing in front. This grandpa had never seemed concerned about her since she was born.
Lin Xiao never even looked at her when she was born, because she was a girl.
Now he was going to choose her husband and make a decision that would affect the rest of her life.
Lin Yuzhen breathed heavily. She was angry and frustrated and she opened her mouth to protest, but suddenly she saw Lin Wen seated in his wheelchair shaking his head at her, begging her with his eyes.
So she didn't say anything.
"Ladies and gentlemen, after a selection process by our family, among the ten wonderful applicants, we have chosen the best one to be Yuzhen's husband. I hope everyone here will bless the new couple!"
With that, everyone applauded.
To Lin Yuzhen, this applause was mocking her. Or even pitying her.
Her eyes were turning red, and she struggled to keep her tears from rolling down.
"Dad, this is the man."
Lin Qiang took out a beautifully designed card and passed it to Lin Xiao. The name of their final choice was written on it.
They had checked carefully already. This guy had no background to speak of, an orphan, over thirty years old, poorly educated, uncultured, no skills, and was homeless - you could say he could be considered a completely useless man.
And he even suffered intermittent bouts of insanity.
They heard that it was hereditary!
If so, then after this man married Lin Yuzhen, on top of cutting the family business off from Lin Yuzhen, even her children could forget about taking a single cent from the Lins!
Lin Qiang looked at Lin Yuzhen and her family seated in one area, and there was a moment of glee on his face.
"Now I would like to announce our final choice!"
Lin Xiao was longsighted and couldn't see clearly, so he narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at the card before announcing, "It's this lucky young man, Jiang Ning!"
The moment the name was announced, everybody turned to look at the back door of the hotel.
He was marrying into the family, so of course, he could only walk in from the back door.
The back door opened and a young man walked in.
Lin Wen and his wife couldn't bear to look.
They knew that Lin Qiang would choose the worst man to be Lin Yuzhen's husband.
But Lin Yuzhen turned to look. She wanted to see who would become her husband.
Jiang Ning looked up and met her eyes, but neither said anything.
He walked right across the hall and everyone was looking at him. Strangely the expression on his face seemed mocking, as well as some schadenfreude.
"Jiang Ning, congratulations for making it as Lin Yuzhen's husband and marrying into the Lin family."
Lin Qiang added, "You don't have to thank us, we just hope that you will take good care of Yuzhen."
To him, Jiang Ning should be eternally grateful to the Lins for giving a homeless orphan like him home.
Lin Qiang walked over to Lin Yuzhen and gently took her hand, his face full of care and concern.
"Come along, Yuzhen."
He took Lin Yuzhen's hand and brought her in front of Jiang Ning, then placed her hand on Jiang Ning's hand.
All the guests started clapping again when they saw this as if they were attending a blissful engagement ceremony.
But Lin Wen and his family knew that everyone was just laughing at them!
By tomorrow, all of Donghai would know that a man had married into the Lin family as Lin Yuzhen's husband, and it was going to be the talk of the town.
Lin Yuzhen's mind went blank as if she had been completely emptied.
She couldn't seem to hear or see anymore and didn't even know what time the banquet ended.
Once the banquet ended, Sumei immediately left crying, while Lin Wen quickly rolled his wheelchair along after her.
