After My Rebirth, I Escaped My Marriage

Lin Zhaonan had on a terrible expression.

It was not the time to pursue matters. “Are you alright?” he asked Jiang Tongtong worriedly.

Jiang Tongtong shook her head.

“I’ll accompany her to change her clothes and speak to her while I’m at it. Go ahead and do what you need to do. We’ll be there soon.” Lin Gantang went over and pulled at Jiang Tongtong.

Lin Zhaonan looked at Jiang Tongtong, troubled. Seeing that she was about to take Lin Gantang’s hand and leave with her, he could only nod.

Lin Gantang brought Jiang Tongtong to a separate lounge. The chauffeur had brought a new gown over.

She handed it to Jiang Tongtong, who carried the gown into the room to change.

The two of them were of different statures, but the difference was not too big. The spare black dress was low-key and restrained. It had a standard design; Jiang Tongtong would not look too bad in it. Lin Gantang helped her tidy up the clothes. She adjusted the parts that needed to be tucked away so that she could wear them.

“I…” Jiang Tongtong clutched the hem of her dress and hesitated. “I’ll just wear it however. I think I should go back.”

“Why should you go back?” Lin Gandang put down the hand that was tidying her clothes and looked at her. “Are you admitting defeat? Do you agree with Hou Qianxi’s words and think that you’re not worthy of my brother?”

“No…” Jiang Tongtong lowered her head.

“You do. You care about your background. You care about the gap between you and my brother. But my brother has already chosen you. This proves that he doesn’t care about these things at all, and neither does his family. Are you that bad? Do you think you’re useless?

“When Song Jinwen and Hou Qianxi bullied you, do you know why I didn’t help you immediately?” Lin Gantang continued to ask.

Jiang Tongtong shook her head.

“In this circle, you have to climb high and tread on those below. You have to take advantage of the situation, envy the haves and look down on the have-nots. Do you have to lower your head and take a detour when you meet them? I want to see you fight back and chase away those two annoying flies,” said Lin Gantang. “Even if you lose to them or can’t beat them, it doesn’t matter because you know how to push back against them.”

“I’m sorry to disappoint you.” Jiang Tongtong eyes reddened.

“I’m not disappointed because I know your character. I just want you to be tougher if you encounter such things in the future.”

Jiang Tongtong lowered her eyes.

Jiang Tongtong knew that Lin Gantang’s arrogance stemmed from twenty years of the Lin family’s upbringing. She was the pride and the beloved daughter of the Lin family, something that she, who had married into the family, could not learn.

“I was terrible, but you still went to help me.” Jiang Tongtong pinched her fingers until they were white.

“Why are you denying yourself again? Of course I’ll help you,” Lin Gantang said seriously. “I was an a*shole when I bullied you in the past. Now, I won’t just stand by and watch you get bullied by others. You have to know that you’re family now. The reason why I dared to act so arrogantly with them today was because of the confidence the Lin family gave me. However, this is also the confidence you have.”

Jiang Tongtong thick eyelashes fluttered.

“I know you haven’t come into contact with these things in your previous life, but you don’t have to be careful about everything and be afraid of causing trouble for the family. You don’t have to change your nature,” Lin Gantang encouraged her. “You just need to give yourself more confidence.

“No one is more suitable for Lin Zhaonan than you. Your character and knowledge are not inferior to others at all. You will also become more outstanding.”

Lin Gantang lifted her chin with her fingers. Her eyes were clear as she spoke to her word by word. “Lift your head. You are Lin Zhaonan’s wife. You are a member of the Lin family..”
