Chapter 113 the old master's threat 4

Machine Translation

"Hehe!"

The old master laughed out loud, as if he was mocking Lan Keqin for overestimating herself. He didn't see the current situation clearly but he also seemed to admire Lan Keqin's calm composure. "Little girl! You don't seem to understand the situation. You were brought here by my people, not invited here by me."

The old master's sharpness was even more imposing than before. Lan Keqin's fingers sank into the palm of her hand. In the past two months, she hadn't done any hard work. The nails on her hands had also been left, and they looked long and beautiful. However, at this moment, the nails had become a weapon that pierced her palm. The nails sank into her palm until it was white. However, she still did not lose out to his imposing manner.

"So what if I am? So what if I am not? As long as I am unwilling, no one can expect me to answer the truth."

She was not an idiot. If the person in front of her was an enemy of Di Junlin and deliberately used the term "Junlin" to confuse her, if she told the truth, then she would really be harming herself. It was not important to harm herself. What she was afraid of was that these people would use her to find Di Junlin in exchange for something or hurt him.

Although the three-month contract was almost over, she had already fallen in love with Di Junlin two months ago. Even if she couldn't be with him again, she would never drag Di Junlin down and make herself a burden to Di Junlin.

She knew that based on the two months they had spent together, even if Di Junlin didn't love her, he would definitely not watch his woman being held by her neck to threaten him. For no reason, it was because he was Di Junlin...

If she fell into the hands of a bad person, it wouldn't end well anyway, so why did she have to turn herself into a burden for Di Junlin? If the person in front of her was really Di Junlin*, then her life wouldn't be in danger, and Di Junlin wouldn't be threatened or anything like that...

No matter what, she would be the one with the advantage, not the old man in front of her.

The old man was slightly stunned and, once again, sized up Lan Keqin. In his heart, he also had a different opinion of Lan Keqin.

"This is the villa of the chairman of the Di Family Group. I am the chairman of the Di Family Group and also the grandfather of Junlin!"

Old Man Di looked at Lan Keqin and said word by word.

Lan Keqin did not believe old man Di's words because of this. Instead, she asked indifferently, "Words have no proof. Why should I believe that what you said is true?" It was not that she did not believe it but she had to be wary of others. She was not a girl who had just come out of the mountains. She had already been deceived twice. There was a limit to everything. If she was deceived one after another, she would be a fool.

Di Junlin*: "..."

All the bodyguards in black: "..."

Obviously, they would never have guessed that Lan Keqin would say such a thing.

"Our chairman has already answered the question you asked. Don't be impudent."

Zhang Jun looked at Lan Keqin sternly and scolded her again. At first, she said that it was fine if the chairman didn't answer her but, after answering her this time, she actually didn't believe it and even questioned the chairman. It was unforgivable.

"Impudent?" The corners of Lan Keqin's mouth still held a sarcastic smile. From the moment Di Junlin* revealed his identity, she had almost completely believed it. It was just that she had to have the heart to guard against others. She wasn't being impudent. "Just now, Old Master asked me if I was the woman of Di Junlin. If I answered no, would you believe me? Or if I answered yes, would you be sure that I am his woman?"

This...?

Everyone choked on Lan Keqin's rebuttal because what Lan Keqin said was absolutely right. But Old Master Di's answer was the truth. What should they say?

Old Master Di was indeed the grandfather of Di Junlin. Towards Lan Keqin's rebuttal, he appeared very calm. However, his aura also turned cold. He looked at Zhang Jun and ordered, "Go and get the photos."

"Yes, chairman."

Zhang Jun respectfully replied to Grandfather Di. After that, he looked at Lan Keqin and coldly snorted, as though he was saying, "Just you wait!"

Lan Keqin could clearly feel Grandfather Di's cold aura. Even though she was afraid, the current situation was another matter. She had never thought of marrying Di Junlin. It wasn't that she was unwilling but it was unrealistic. She wasn't a person who would dream. As for liking Di Junlin, that was her matter. Because no one could control her heart, including herself.

As for Di Junlin*, she was just doing what she should be doing, there was nothing to worry about. Even if she offended him, the prerequisite was that Di Junlin* didn't make things too difficult for her.

Very soon, Zhang Jun brought two photos over. One was a photo of Di Junlin* with Di Junlin when he was a few years old, and the other was a photo of Di Junlin* with Di Junlin on his 20th birthday.

After Lan Keqin looked at it, her heart tensed up and she finally relaxed. No matter if the old man in front of her was Di Junlin's real grandfather or not—from the photo—the person who could get close to Di Junlin and take a photo with him must be the closest person. Or perhaps, like Situ Lingying, Bai Lan, and Yi Xuan, they would only be Di Junlin's friends and not enemies.

"Now that you've seen it, can you answer the question I asked you just now?"

Old Master Di's voice was still dignified and stern. Now, as long as Lan Keqin lied, he would definitely not treat Lan Keqin the same as before.

"It's his woman." This time, Lan Keqin answered truthfully. She did not beat around the bush and did not hide anything. In the end, she added, "It's just his mistress." When she said the word 'mistress,' Lan Keqin's face was filled with sorrow and bitterness.

Old Di was stunned again. He didn't expect Lan Keqin to answer truthfully. If he asked another woman today, he believed that the other woman's answer would be the same as Lan Keqin's. However, the last sentence, 'it's just his mistress,' was something that couldn't be said. This was because every woman wanted to marry into the Di clan. Rather than saying that they wanted to marry into the Di clan, it would be better to say that they wanted to marry Di Junlin.

Because if they married Di Junlin, it would be the same as marrying into the Di clan.

"Why?"

Old Di asked indifferently.

Lan Keqin naturally knew what Old Di meant. She straightened her back and replied, "No reason. Because it's the truth."

A lover was a lover. There was no need to hide the truth, because it was all an illusion. It was only for a moment that people believed it to be true. What's the point of deceiving yourself? What's the point of deceiving others and yourself? When the time came, it would be all for naught. How hypocritical it was now would be how miserable it would be in the future. It was better to answer truthfully. -------- [E/N: Lan Keqin and Di Junlin have the misfortune of having names with the same pinyin as their adopted mother and grandfather, respectfully. To differentiate them, I'll use an asterisk(*) for Mother Lan and Old Di.]
