[Ordinary Girl] My boyfriend's brothers are all very curious about me.

Zong Yan's original plan was not to propose now, as he had not yet obtained his family's consent.

But as he was frequently sent on business trips, his family kept trying to introduce him to other rich girls, which annoyed him to no end and he couldn't wait any longer.

He wanted to prove with his actions that he loved only Lin Su and that he would not marry anyone else but Lin Su.

The engagement ring was bought by Zong Yan at the mall on the day he returned from his business trip. Although it was a bit of a last-minute decision, he had carefully selected it over two hours.

He had even booked a famous restaurant in advance, planning to kneel down and propose amidst a sky full of fireworks. He envisioned a very romantic scene, and he was sure Lin Su would agree.

But he didn't see any of these scenes. In the afternoon, just after Zong Yan dropped Lin Su off at the exam venue, he received a call from home.

His mother suddenly collapsed at home and was sent to the hospital. Zongyan never thought it was a lie, because he hadn't told anyone about his planned marriage proposal.

He could only rush to the hospital while calling Shao Huaizhi to ask him to pick up Lin Su.

He didn't want her to come out of the exam room; there was no one waiting for her outside. As for proposing, he could only wait until next time.

Zong Yan rushed to the private hospital, only to have his phone confiscated and his personal freedom restricted.

The engagement ring he had hidden in his pocket was also confiscated.

It turned out that he was accidentally seen buying the ring, and somehow the news reached the ears of the matriarch.

If his father found out that he dared to propose to that woman in private, he would definitely beat him severely, more severely than all the previous times combined.

Zong's mother was trying to help him and tried to persuade him with all her heart, but Zong Yan wouldn't listen at all.

"Mom, give me back my phone and ring, and tell the bodyguards outside to leave. I won't propose tonight." Anyway, there's no time to wait.

Today's arrangements weren't perfect; he'll arrange something better during the Chinese New Year.

The matriarch gave him a look of disappointment, "There are so many good girls out there, I just don't know why you've chosen that one."

Lin Su's information had naturally been seen by the matriarch long ago; such a person would never even appear in her sight.

Orphaned at a young age, raised by her grandmother, dropped out of high school, in debt, working as a shampoo girl in a small town, and not particularly attractive.

The mere thought of such a woman becoming her daughter-in-law made the matriarch's vision go black.

She really felt that Zong Yan had been bewitched; she wished she hadn't let him go to see Old Master Zong in the first place.

Originally, the idea was to have the old man discipline him, but who knew that such a daughter-in-law would appear.

The old man was the same; things were happening right under his nose, and he didn't even try to stop it.

"She's the best," Zong Yan said, dissatisfied. "Mom, don't speak ill of her in front of me."

The matriarch raised her hand to her forehead. "I won't say anything more, but can you please wake up? I'll let you date if you want, but is marriage something to be taken lightly?"

"I'm very serious. I've been doing an exceptionally good job lately, as you know," Zongyan said. "I'm only being this serious because I want to marry her."

The matriarch hesitated, rubbing her forehead. "Couldn't you wait until she graduates before saying that?"

Being a graduate of Peking University sounds much better than dropping out of high school. Zong's mother also supports Lin Su's education. As long as she can graduate well, it will be something to be proud of.

"Why did my dad insist on sending me on business trips? Doesn't he know I have a girlfriend?" Zong Yan said irritably. "Don't let him send me on business trips again."

"I won't be managing the branch office next year either. You guys are just trying to break us up. If you hadn't interfered, would I have even thought of proposing now?"

Mother Zong didn't want to argue with him. She said with a headache, "Stay here with me tonight and go back tomorrow."

"I don't want it." Zong Yan held out his hand. "Give me back my phone and ring."

Mother Zong: "You don't even listen to your mother anymore?"

Zong Yan: "I won't listen."

Ancestral mother: "..."

"Give it to him, give it to him." The matriarch waved her hand. "Get out of here, get out of here."

When Zong Yan got his phone, it was already 10:30 p.m. He hooked the engagement ring on his little finger and opened Lin Su's chat window.

She had texted him just half an hour ago, asking what was wrong with his mother and whether he would be coming back tonight.

Shao Huaizhi also sent him a message half an hour ago, saying that he had already sent Lin Su home.

Are you only taking me home at 10 PM?

Zong Yan snorted softly. He put the ring into the ring box and casually stuffed it into a corner of the car. This was unlucky; he'd buy a bigger and shinier one next time.

He didn't reply to the message. He fastened his seatbelt, started the car, and turned on the headlights, illuminating the white snowflakes falling silently in the night.

The snow on the road was already quite thick, making it easy for cars to slip. In addition, it was nighttime, so every car on the road was driving extra carefully.

Zong Yan gripped the steering wheel with both hands, looking up at the traffic light ahead. There were still three seconds left on the red light. Just as he started the car, a loud screech of brakes came from behind him.

"squeak!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The three cars collided. Because Zong Yan's car was in front, the impact from the cars behind caused his steering wheel to slip out of control, and the front of his car crashed hard into the guardrail on the side of the road.

"Thump!" The huge impact caused the white airbag to pop out, but even so, a lot of bright red blood still gushed out from Zong Yan's forehead.

Blood was streaming down his face.

Screams and the sound of ambulances flooded Zong Yan's mind. He found it extremely noisy and had a terrible headache, as if his head was about to explode.

it hurts...

……

Lin Su was still awake. She leaned against the bay window in the study, looking up at the snow outside. The snow was falling heavier and heavier.

She was so engrossed in what she was watching that her phone suddenly rang, and she immediately snapped out of her reverie and checked it.

It's not news from Zongyan.

When Shao Huaizhi got home, he sent her a message and told her to go to bed early.

Lin Su thought about what he had said today, which could be considered a confession, but he hadn't said he liked her.

He was a gentleman; he escorted her upstairs and then really left.

Lin Su then thought back to when Zong Yan confessed his feelings to her, did he say he liked her?

It seems he said that.

He was very arrogant back then. He leaned against the wall, blocking her way, and said he liked her, giving her one day to break up with him quickly.

Lin Su had known him for almost three months by then. She knew that his family was very wealthy, and his grandfather lived in the most luxurious villa in town.

On their third meeting, he helped Lin Su pay off her debts and even got her to work at the villa, paying her 10,000 yuan a month.

Lin Su didn't actually do any work at the villa; her job was simply to keep Zong Yan entertained in town.

Those three months felt like the first time she had ever been to the small town she had lived in for so many years. She went to many places she had never been before and ate many things she had never eaten before.

She never imagined that Zong Yan would like her, and that he would take her away from the poor town and give her a new, wealthy life.

She was very grateful to him.
