This word made her feel uncomfortable. What kind of status did the Lin family have? Lin Xintong was also the greatest figure of the Lin family’s younger generation. She could become a peerless Great Empress in the future, yet she made friends with such a person?
If it was her granddaughter, she would have reprimanded her. However, against Lin Xintong, she did not dare do so. She could only tone down her expression and said patiently, “Xintong, it is your prerogative to make friends, but you must see what sort of person someone is. You have a dignified background and you will have limitless achievements in the future. If you want to make friends, they have to be people like Shen Tu Nantian, who come from a large family clan. They are youths who will amount to great things in the future. As for some cats and dogs, or riff-raff, it is best you don’t mix around with them, or you would lose your dignity and be ridiculed by others. What do you say, Xintong?”
The woman tried to make her speech sound kind, but even so, her words were filled with superiority. They included referring Yi Yun to cats and dogs or riff-raff, and this angered Lin Xintong.
Lin Xintong’s eyebrows frowned as she spoke coldly, “Grandaunt, he is my friend. As for you, you can only be considered my elder. You have lived a long time, and have seen numerous people and encountered numerous matters. You should understand the meaning of how a mere acquaintance should not sow discord between two close people.”
The words Lin Xintong did not include any swear words, but it immediately turned the woman’s face white!
A mere acquaintance should not sow discord between two close people!
The woman in the palatial gown was Lin Xintong’s grandaunt, but as for Yi Yun, what sort of person was he to Lin Xintong?
He was just a friend, and a friend of an unknown closeness at that.
However, Lin Xintong had actually said “Mere acquaintance should not sow discord between two close people!”
This meant that in Lin Xintong’s heart, she as the grandaunt was the mere acquaintance. She was dispensable. As for this riff-raff, Yi Yun, he held a greater spot in Lin Xintong’s heart than the grandaunt, her!
Previously, Lin Xintong also said that the woman “can only be” considered Lin Xintong’s elder.
This also meant that other than the relation of being of the same clan and the elder-junior relationship that could not be wiped off, she as a grandaunt was nothing in Lin Xintong’s heart.
With her status as someone who was more distant, she was being presumptuous and being offensive by criticizing the kid who was closer to Lin Xintong.
