Chapter 325: This Is My Family Matter
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As Old Lady Lin cried out, she shot a threatening gaze at Lin Lao’er, the second of her three sons. She knew his heart was the softest among them. If she wept and expressed her despair, Lin Lao’er would surely give in.
Upon witnessing this, Lin Laoyao and his wife also pleaded with Lin Lao’er through their tears. “Brother, we were wrong, our son Lin Jie was even more wrong. Please tell us how we can earn your forgiveness. As long as Lin Jie doesn’t have to go to jail, we will do anything…”
Initially, Father Lin had been worried for Lin Jie, for Lin Laoyao’s family, and for his own mother’s distress. But now, confronted with his mother and brothers’ pleas, he felt no stirrings of sympathy.
He finally understood. To his so-called family, he was not a relative, but merely a tool—a tool to be used when needed and discarded when not. It had always been this way.
Since his mother had entered the hospital room, she hadn’t even glanced at him, let alone shown any concern for his injuries.
She was only interested in defending Lin Laoyao’s family, berating his wife and daughter. Only now, realizing the severity of the situation, did she remember her second son, pleading with him, hoping to exploit his soft heart to save Lin Jie.
Father Lin saw through it all now. His heart hardened, and he agreed with his wife and daughter’s decision.
His gaze swept over Old Lady Lin and the others, finally landing on Su Shen. “I’m sorry,” he said to his son-in-law. “You handle it. I’m sorry for the trouble.”
Old Lady Lin was stunned. She never expected her second son to say such things. Was he really going to abandon her?
Enraged, Old Lady Lin charged at her second son, berating him. ‘You heartless thing! If I’d known you’d turn out this way, I would’ve strangled you at birth! You’ve been bewitched by these two good-for-nothings, even forsaking your own mother. Shame on you! I wish Lin Jie had killed you! ”
Father Lin felt as if he’d been stabbed in the heart. The pain was so intense he could hardly breathe. But he was a man, and he held back his tears in front of everyone.
Mother Lin watched, heartbroken.
