After saying that, Xia Lin bowed at a 90 - degree angle and didn't straighten up until Uncle San sighed, "Is what you said true? You're not lying to an old man like me!"
Xia Lin stood up straight and promised, "It's absolutely true. Uncle San, I don't need to lie about something like this. But please keep it a secret for me. Don't let Jin Yu know."
Uncle San pointed his finger and said, "Sit down. If what you said is true and you only have one year to live, then I agree to let you be with Jin Yu. After one year, you figure out a way to leave on your own!"
Xia Lin nodded. "Uncle San, you're joking. I don't need to figure out a special way. Anyway, I'll leave this world by then. I'll just choose a place silently to die."
Even though Uncle San didn't like Xia Lin at first, hearing these words and knowing that he only had one year to live, he couldn't help but soften his heart. "I believe now that you're not with Jin Yu for some ulterior motive. When Jin Yu comes out, cooperate with me and don't let Jin Yu notice anything wrong."
"Yes, Uncle San."
Ten minutes later, Xiao Jinyu sat back down. "Xiaolin, what did you two talk about? This old man didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"
Uncle San let out a heavy snort. Xia Lin smiled awkwardly and tried to smooth things over. "No, Jinyu. Uncle San not only didn't make things difficult for me, but also agreed to let us be together. How about it? Happy?"
"What!" Xiao Jinyu was so shocked that he stood up. He stared at Uncle San in disbelief. "You stubborn old man. How could you possibly agree? What's your plot?"
This unfilial nephew! He's got a boyfriend and forgotten about his uncle. It's infuriating! Uncle San knocked his walking stick hard on the ground and turned his head without answering.
Since he couldn't get an answer from Uncle San, Xiao Jinyu looked at Xia Lin. "Xiaolinzi, what on earth is going on? Why did this old man suddenly agree?"
Uncle San wasn't silent anymore. He deliberately said in an angry tone, "I was touched by Xia Lin's sincerity and perseverance, so I agreed to give Xia Lin a chance for a period of probation."
"Really?"
"Really!"
"You're not lying to me?"
"Not lying!"
"Really not lying to me?"
"Get out of here!"
Xiao Jinyu walked up to Uncle San excitedly. "Uncle San... Thank you!"
Uncle San turned his head away proudly. "Didn't you always call me 'old man'?"
Xiao Jinyu was too embarrassed to say anything, but it was obvious to everyone that he intended to reconcile with Uncle San. Uncle San cared most about this nephew in his heart and was happy to give him a way out.
After having lunch at Uncle San's place, Xia Lin and Xiao Jinyu said their goodbyes. Xiao Jinyu didn't believe that Uncle San would agree to their relationship so easily and insisted on asking what Xia Lin had done.
Xia Lin had to tell a lie. "Actually, I knelt down in front of Uncle San and asked for a chance. Uncle San probably knew that even if he didn't agree, you wouldn't listen to him. So he might as well..."
"What? You knelt down? Xiaolinzi, why didn't you say so just now? Damn it! That old man actually made you kneel! I'm going back to question him..."
"Wait! Wait a minute!" Xia Lin immediately grabbed Xiao Jinyu's arm. "Don't go back. We've already left the gate. I knelt down voluntarily. Uncle San didn't force me!"
Xiao Jinyu hugged Xia Lin tightly. "Xiaolinzi, I'm sorry you had to suffer this grievance."
"No, no. Look, the result is good. Uncle San has agreed to let us be together."
Xiao Jinyu looked up and said, "Xiaolinzi, let's go abroad and get married!"
