Chapter 196 (Part Two)
Linn Lin smiled and said enthusiastically, "I'm afraid that you don't remember me at all when you talked about me. But speaking of a person, you must know that. Do you still remember Austin Lin?"
"Austin?" "Austin!" It was a great shock to Melissa. Austin was her father's old friend. It was her grandpa who asked Austin to persuade her father. Only in this way could her father be hospitalized. But speaking of Austin, he was very mysterious. Her father never told her what he did. She even didn't meet him often. However, she knew that her father and Austin were good friends and comrades.

Then Melissa asked, "What's your relationship with Austin?"
"He is my father!" Linn Lin answered that with a smile, showing her kindness.
However, her words almost made Melissa suffocate. Austin was Miss Linn's father, and Austin was her father's best friend. The two of them were so intimate that their relationship couldn't be destroyed. And Miss Linn was Colin's fiancée. However, she just settled the relationship with Colin. Why did she feel that she was the one in the wrong in this dispute? She couldn't win……
Hearing that, Mrs. Fannie smiled and said, "Now that you two have known each other for a long time, it's much easier to say."
With a smile on her face, Linn answered, "My father often told me about you when I was a child. He said that you was an excellent girl and asked me to learn from you. I have been curious about you before and wanted to see you gradually. I didn't expect that it would be our first meeting today. What's more, you became a star many years later."
It was awkward for Melissa to talk about this topic. It was inappropriate to mention that she was a star in front of this lady. The so-called difference between heaven and earth might be so. What's more, the gossip had not been a good thing for her. With a smile, Melissa said, "Miss Linn, you don't have to take
me as a model. You're beautiful, smart and excellent!" "Look at me, I can only be engaged in the entertainment industry."
"How could it be?" "I have always thought that you is an excellent woman. Otherwise, why does Colin like you so much?" Linn Lin then turned to Mrs. Fannie and asked, "Madam, can I sit close to Melissa?"
Mrs. Fannie nodded, "Okay." Mrs. Fannie seemed to specially indulge this daughter-in-law to be, and she was even amiable to her.
Then, Linn Lin stood up, took her purse and elegantly walked towards Melissa on her high heels. Melissa observed the way she walked, and found that she was indeed different from other ordinary people. Ladies from the noble families talked and dealt with things in this way, which was a beautiful scenery at any posture. In fact, she had received the etiquette training when she was young. However, her family was reduced in recent years, and she no longer needed it, so she gradually abandoned and became an ordinary person.
Linn Lin didn't think anything was wrong. She sat beside Melissa with enthusiasm and said, "Melissa, I heard that Colin likes you very much, right?"
A fiancée asked her fiancé's lover whether her fiancé's likes and dislikes you. What should Melissa say to her? Linn was embarrassed in such a situation, and she even should feel angry. But why was she still so enthusiastic and sincere to her?
Seeing that Melissa didn't answer her question, Linn Lin added, "I know it is an abrupt question, but I really think that you is very excellent. And I went to meet your father and mother today, and I heard that you has been with Colin for a long time, right?" While speaking about this, Linn Lin was a little upset. She lowered her head and played with her fingers which were as white as silk.
Melissa didn't know if she was pretending to be innocent or not. Since she asked her parents about it, she should have known the truth. But why was she so kind to her? She sighed and looked upset. If
Linn Lin had really a temper, she should have been filled with indignation and accused her. But why did she show her kindness to her? Did she make a mistake? Was it true that Linn Lin was a kind and nice girl, but it was her vicious guess on her personality?
Melissa asked her, "Miss Linn, did you engage with Colin?" "When did you get engaged?"
Linn Lin said, "No, we haven't, but we're going to be engaged recently, and……" "When I was a child, my parents agreed to let me marry him when I grew up. This is an arranged marriage."
It turned out that their marriage was arranged verbally from their childhood. Melissa asked her, "Do you like Colin?" "Are you really willing to marry him?"
It should be the most important thing. It had nothing to do with their engagement or whether she was Colin's girlfriend. The most important thing was whether they were in love. She believe that Linn Lin wouldn't know Colin well, let alone marry him.
However, with a sigh, Linn Lin answered, "I don't know. How to say." "Colin and I have known each other since childhood, so Colin has always been a dream of me. I used to regard him as the prince charming in my childhood. Although I've been abroad for years, Colin was still the best in my heart, irreplaceable. I don't mind marrying him, and I'm even very happy."
She smiled at Melissa, who was rendered speechless. She continued, "I know that Colin likes you, but Colin and I are related by marriage, so it's not a big deal for me to fight for it, isn't it?" "What do you think?"
It was the first time that Melissa had seen a rival in love talked to another rival in such a modest manner. There was an old saying, "Don't be angry with a smiling face." What's more, she was the daughter of her father's best friend, which her embarrassed. She couldn't fight with her directly.
Otherwise, it was all her fault. Her parents probably wouldn't support her, but they would rebuke her, instead, her parents were her Achilles' heel. She could not disobey her parents' orders.
Melissa didn't know what to say. She just stared at her, and finally said, "I……"
But before long, Mrs. Fannie interrupted her. She said with a smile, "Linn, aren't you going to call your father?" "You can leave now." Mrs. Fannie said in a gentle voice. She was very kind to Linn Lin as if she acted like a mother. It seemed that she really liked Linn Lin.
Linn Lin nodded. "Okay!" "Then Aunt and Melissa, I will go out and make a phone call. I will be back soon." Then she got up and left.
When she closed the door, the atmosphere in the room became depressing. Melissa kept her head down, and Mrs. Fannie didn't say anything, either. After a while, Mrs. Fannie finally spoke, "See?" "Colin's fiancée is a very nice girl. She doesn't have any enmity towards you, but don't you think you are in an embarrassing situation?"
Knowing that Mrs. Fannie was going to make fun of her, Melissa took a deep breath and said, "Love is unfriendly. It's not pure to get involved in such things. Besides, it was you who arranged Miss Linn and Colin's marriage."
Mrs. Fannie sneered, "If you don't care about gratitude, will your parents allow you to take away the fiancée of the daughter of his best friend?"
