After I awakened my inner voice, I became the treasure of my family.

Chapter 230 A Love That Went Wrong

At this moment, Jeremy Lin was truly in a difficult and embarrassing situation.

Back then, Jeremy Lin was an inexperienced and shy young man who was kind-hearted and easily swayed by emotions.

When he saw Wen Linlin's eyes red with anger, yet she still bit her lip tightly, stubbornly refusing to admit defeat, a ripple of emotion stirred in his heart.

Jeremy Lin hesitated for a moment before glancing at Wen Linlin's aggrieved and angry face, then turned his gaze to the crowd around him who were waiting to see a good show, their faces beaming with schadenfreude.

After a brief silence, he finally nodded slightly and said softly, "Yes, I wrote it!"

However, only Jeremy Lin himself knew best that this love letter was not actually written to Wen Linlin, but was secretly written to Mu Feihan with all his love in his heart.

At the time, he simply thought that this matter would be difficult to explain in a short time, and rather than let Wen Linlin continue to suffer ridicule and doubt from everyone, he might as well step forward and help her.

I'll explain the whole thing to her when the time is right.

Unfortunately, reality is often not what people wish for.

As it turned out, sometimes just one wrong step can lead to a downward spiral, like sinking into a quagmire, until one is unable to extricate oneself, and even the original truth is completely obscured and becomes blurred.

Jiang Mianmian: 【…No…really?!】

How could such a thing happen?

Aside from the Lin family members involved: ?!

Wen Linlin was equally shocked. She looked at Jeremy Lin in disbelief: So, that letter wasn't written to me at all?!

Are the so-called childhood sweethearts and innocent childhood friends all fake?

Wen Linlin's eyes instantly welled up with tears.

Lin Jinyue panicked immediately and quickly grabbed her hand.

But Wen Linlin shook her off, stood up abruptly, and left the reception room, somewhat unable to accept it. "Big Linlin..."

Jeremy Lin immediately panicked and, disregarding any agreements, hurriedly chased after him.

[What...what happened? What's going on?]

Having watched half of the plot, Jiang Mianmian was completely bewildered: "What... what's going on with them?"

Li Tingxue looked embarrassed: Mother-in-law, you just exposed someone's beautiful past!

Lin Jinyue quickly added, "Oh, my mother just remembered something she forgot, and she was in a hurry to take care of it. My father was worried she wouldn't do it right, so he went with her..."

With a sincere and radiant smile on her face, Jiang Mianmian said with a cheerful laugh, "Oh my, look at the love between your parents... It's so wonderful, so wonderful!"

Hearing this, the group exchanged awkward glances and nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, yes, yes... that's true. Their relationship has always been very good!"

Thinking to herself: Aunt Jiang, you're being too direct. You've already revealed the truth, so there's no need to say these sarcastic things now.

The two brothers, Lin Junxian and Lin Junkai, exchanged a glance, both looking helpless and frustrated.

She thought to herself: Sister, you invited Aunt Jiang to our house. Are you sure she's not deliberately trying to disrupt our harmonious family?

Wow, this kind of relationship is truly enviable!

Yes, you know, they almost broke up back then. Luckily, fate intervened and managed to deliver the letter to Wen Linlin, ultimately leading to this beautiful marriage.

[Maybe Jeremy Lin and Mu Feihan will end up together. Just imagine, what woman could tolerate her man having ever had feelings for her best friend? That would be so awkward!]

Lin Jinyue and her siblings Lin Junxian and Lin Junkai couldn't help but show surprise: Wow, so this can be explained in this way?!

Jiang Mianmian did indeed understand it that way. She felt that Jeremy Lin and Wen Linlin were a couple destined to be together by God. Even though Jeremy Lin initially liked someone else, he still ended up in Wen Linlin's hands.

What may seem like a twist of fate is actually a kind of "fulfillment".

Unlike me, my first love and I didn't encounter any of these things, and yet...

We didn't end up together.

[If I had known it would turn out this way, I would have preferred a more circuitous, 'unexpected' outcome; maybe it would have worked out.] ...

"Madam, please don't be angry. This happened so many years ago, and our children are all grown up now..."

Jeremy Lin caught up with Wen Linlin in the garden, grabbed her, and quickly said, "We've been doing great all these years, haven't we?"

"So that letter you wrote back then wasn't for me at all," Wen Linlin said, wiping away her tears. "Why didn't you explain that to me later?"

"How can I say it? Every time I try to talk to you, something happens, one thing after another. How can I say it?"

"How could there be no chance?"

“After that group of people left, I wanted to tell you, but you happily dragged me to tell Mu Feihan.”

Wen Linlin froze: "Uh...she was my only best friend back then..."

That's why she dragged Jeremy Lin to his crush and showed off to him – Look, I've won over the man you like?

"What could I have said back then? You two were such good friends, I was afraid you'd beat me to death if I said anything..."

Wen Linlin used to have a rather "tomboyish" personality. He didn't know if Mu Feihan would hit him if Jeremy Lin dared to say it, but she would definitely beat him up, feeling that he had embarrassed her.

"And then what happened? Did you never have a chance to tell me what happened after that? It's not like I was with Mu Feihan the whole time."

"Are you sure?" Jeremy Lin said. "You guys hang out together every day. When am I going to talk to you alone? Even if I manage to get you to go out, you'll bring her along."

"...You like her, right? I'll help you bring her along, and you're not happy? Isn't this just doing you a favor?"

Jeremy Lin couldn't deny that he was quite happy to see his "white moonlight" (ideal love) on a date.

"Right? Look how happy you are! When I brought Mu Feihan along, weren't you overjoyed?"

Also, were you afraid that your family would find out that you actually liked Mu Feihan, which is why you asked me to bring someone else when you asked me out?

The adults would assume that we grew up together and just went out to play together again...

"I did have some ulterior motives at the time, but when the three of us went out together, it was basically the two of you doing all the shopping while I was carrying your things. I barely spoke a few words to Mu Feihan."

It was around that time that Jeremy Lin realized that Mu Feihan, who appeared ethereal on the surface, was just as lively and energetic as Wen Linlin in private. No wonder the two of them became good friends.

Wen Linlin's madness is superficial and can be seen at a glance; Mu Feihan's madness is hidden inside and cannot be seen by ordinary people.

After discovering that Mu Feihan wasn't as perfect as he had imagined, Jeremy Lin wasn't so excited anymore.

After all, he liked the Mu Feihan he imagined, not the real Mu Feihan.

Later, he continued to "date" Wen Linlin. Besides feeling really relaxed and having a lot of fun with her,

Another reason was that he wanted to continue observing Mu Feihan to confirm if she was the person he liked. Just as he was hesitating about not giving up, Mu Feihan found someone she liked.

Jeremy Lin: "..."

He had already considered giving up, but then a competitor appeared, and he suddenly had second thoughts and didn't want to give up anymore.

Even if only a little bit of liking remained, it suddenly became ten points.

Next up was a "date" for the four of them.

Happy times always pass quickly. Before he knew it, Jeremy Lin was informed by the Lin family of a "marriage arrangement".

The person he was to marry was none other than his childhood sweetheart, Wen Linlin.

"Why are you suddenly being forced into a marriage?!"

Jeremy Lin was shocked. He wanted to refuse, but his older brothers patted him on the shoulder and told him to be content.

At least he married a woman he liked, unlike them, who married women arranged by their families, having to marry whomever they wanted.

As the youngest son in the Lin family, Lin Jinyue had never noticed that the seemingly happy marriages of her eldest and second eldest brothers were actually just a facade.

Because the wives they married were not the women they loved.

Looking back and seeing Mu Feihan's ordinary family background, Jeremy Lin knew that even if he confessed that he liked her, his family probably wouldn't agree.

The only reason they agreed to let him marry Wen Linlin was because the Wen family and the Lin family had a good relationship, and the two families were of similar social standing, making them a good match.

If Wen Linlin's family had been even slightly less well-off, things might not have turned out this way for the two of them.

The Lin family may spoil their children, but they wouldn't spoil them to the point of letting them act recklessly and disregard their family.

At that time, Jeremy Lin didn't have the courage to go against his family, so he acquiesced. And so, he and Wen Linlin got married. They were childhood sweethearts and their story became a "legendary tale".

He couldn't say he loved her that much, but he had long been used to Wen Linlin being by his side and had never thought about what he would do if she were to leave him one day.

Therefore, when Wen Linlin cried and told him that she needed to calm down and reconsider their relationship, his heart panicked instantly.

He didn't understand. They had been together for so many years, and their child was already so grown up. Why did she suddenly want to reconsider their marriage?

Is there something wrong with their marriage?

Or perhaps, Jiang Mianmian's words provoked her?

Jeremy Lin quickly explained, "You can't listen to her nonsense. She said I would break up with you in the future. Do you really mean I would break up with you?"

"Now that Mu Feihan is dead, didn't you hear her say that that woman is Mu Feihan's daughter, or that Su Qianqian specifically hired her to scheme against me?"

Wen Linlin shook her head and said, "If you didn't have feelings for her, how could anyone scheme against you? You clearly loved someone else, yet you still married me. You've really suffered all these years..."
