Chapter 948: Chapter 468: A Perfect Match? No Nested Schemes Allowed

"No, Miss Lin, listen to me. Things aren’t the way you think they are..."

But at this moment.

Su Jianfan suddenly spoke up, awkwardly forced a laugh.

But Lin Zimo was still relentless.

"Not what?"

"Su Jianfan, it’s not just me saying it. From the very first day we started dating, I noticed something was off about you. No wonder you wouldn’t even hold my hand, just sweet talks to coax me. Turns out you’re just acting; you never really liked me!"

Seeing Lin Zimo’s eyes turning red.

She seemed really heartbroken.

Her lips were even trembling.

Su Jianfan’s mouth twitched slightly.

"Lin Zimo, what are you doing?"

"I didn’t say I dated you just to upset my family leader."

Su Jianfan seemed shocked, finding it hard to believe.

Nervous to the point of breaking into a cold sweat.

Lin Zimo, however, lifted a hand to slap him.

"Shut up!"

"Su Jianfan, how did I even fall for you? I must have been blind! Boo hoo!"

"I think you’re saying this just to save face in front of Auntie Song. But who knows if you’ll kick me to the curb afterwards! You heartbreaker, scoundrel! I don’t want your pity!"

Lin Zimo said, her voice choking, eyes red.

Appearing utterly aggrieved, as if she truly had been deceived in a relationship and was a complete victim.

This made Song Yulan’s initial suspicions dissipate.

The wary look in her eyes softened greatly.

"Jianfan, you brought the young lady to meet me without clearing things up?"

"Mom, things aren’t what you think they are."

At this moment, Su Jianfan was practically beside himself with frustration.

Seeing his mother’s face filled with reproach.

Su Jianfan realized.

Lin Zimo was likely acting.

And indeed, her performance had worked.

"Not what, Su Jianfan, if I were you I’d apologize to the lady quickly and explain things to her!"

Song Yulan scolded him with a mix of irritation and disappointment.

She evidently believed Lin Zimo’s performance completely.

Su Jianfan could only nod apologetically.

"Mom, you’re right."

"It’s my fault. I’ll go explain things to Lin Zimo now."

Seeing him trying to pull her away.

Lin Zimo shook off his hand.

Even punched him purposefully.

"I don’t need you to pull me, don’t touch me, you bastard, deadbeat, rotten egg! Big jerk!"

Su Jianfan had no choice but to force a smile, giving her meaningful glances: "Zimo, don’t be angry, okay? Let’s go outside and talk, don’t let Mr. Luo and the others laugh at us."

With Luo Fei and Li Yu silently observing the drama.

Lin Zimo cursed and dragged Su Jianfan out of the private room.

At the door, after closing it.

She returned to her usual smug self and stuck out her tongue.

"Well, Officer Su, was my acting convincing enough just now?"

"Looking at your mom’s expression, she completely believes I’m your girlfriend."

Seeing she was genuinely acting.

He raised an eyebrow, mouth curling into a pleased smile.

Su Jianfan rubbed his numbed chin.

"Miss Lin, you should’ve informed me beforehand if you planned on acting. I almost thought you were really angry."

"Also, can you be a little gentler? That slap nearly dislocated my jaw."

Su Jianfan seemed somewhat embarrassed.

Grinning through slight pain.

Rubbing his sore cheek.

Lin Zimo just scoffed.

"Can’t help that, if I told you in advance what I planned, and if your acting isn’t convincing enough and your mom sees through it, then Mr. Luo’s plan would be ruined."

"So to reassure your parents, we have to keep acting."

Lin Zimo said, stuck out her tongue.

Su Jianfan felt exasperated.

"I understand. Then Miss Lin, we’re counting on you for now."

"If my acting falls short, I apologize in advance. Please forgive me."

Watching Su Jianfan bow and speak.

He felt a bit embarrassed.

Lin Zimo coldly chuckled.

"No need for much acting."

"Just pretend you really like me, and leave the rest to me."

Lin Zimo said proudly.

Her smile confident, face full of self-assurance.

Su Jianfan couldn’t help but doubt.

"Lin Zimo, do you like Mr. Luo?"

Su Jianfan’s sudden question left Lin Zimo blushing instantly.

"Su Jianfan, why did you suddenly bring this up?"

"What does this have to do with anything?"

Seeing Lin Zimo slightly embarrassed.

She was unsure.

Su Jianfan calmly said.

"I just have this feeling. Because I notice you’re wholeheartedly cooperating with Mr. Luo on this, even though you don’t like me, and reluctantly act as my girlfriend."

"Enough nonsense!"

Lin Zimo glared at Su Jianfan.

Stepped heavily on his foot.

"Don’t blow our cover when we go back in!"

Although Lin Zimo hadn’t stepped all that hard.

She was wearing high heels.

Su Jianfan felt the sting.

But he just grimaced.

Soon adjusted his expression.

Lin Zimo surprisingly took out a lipstick from her bag and smeared it across Su Jianfan’s face, then reluctantly threw it into the trash bin.
