Chapter 333 - 333: How EmbarrassingChapter 333: How Embarrassing
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Suddenly, Lin Miao found herself at a loss for words. From the very beginning, she had never intended to completely abandon her adoptive parents. However, she was so preoccupied with securing her biological parents’ affection that she often neglected her adoptive family.
Moreover, the root cause of the situation was not entirely her fault. She and her biological parents had been misled by the nonsense spouted by her uncle’s family, leading them to believe that her father’s injury was not severe.
Lin Miao shot a glare at her closest aunt, whispering in disbelief, “How did my father get so badly injured?”
Lin Laoyao’s wife lowered her eyes guiltily, responding in a soft voice, “Yes, the injury is more severe than we thought, but what’s done is done…”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUpon hearing this, Lin Miao and the Gu Shan couple felt a headache brewing. However, they had to admit that it was true – what had happened, had happened. It would be best to downplay the situation. The three of them used this rationale to absolve themselves of their failure to discern right from wrong.
A long silence fell upon the hospital room before Gu Zi finally spoke up, “Uncle
Gu, Aunt Zhang, Lin Miao, is there anything else you would like to say?”
Caught off guard, Gu Shan didn’t know what to say to cover up his inner embarrassment, so he chose to remain silent.
Due to her inner turmoil, Lin Miao couldn’t think of anything to say either. Her primary concern at the moment was whether her adoptive parents would view her differently because of this incident.
After sthought, Zhang Mei stubbornly stuck to her point of view, “It takes two to tango. The situation escalated because neither party was willing to back down. Lin Jie is young, and you, Brother Lin, are much older. Why stoop to his level? If you had just endured a bit, it wouldn’t have cto blows.”
Hearing this, Gu Zi was both amused and exasperated. “Yes, if my father had just endured, he wouldn’t have been beaten. He would have just let Lin Jie waltz into our hand rob us. According to you, Aunt Zhang, when Lin Jie first asked my parents for money, they should have handed it over willingly to avoid being beaten. What kind of robber’s logic is that?”
Unable to bear it any longer, Mother Lin stepped forward. She couldn’t stand by and watch her daughter face these baseless accusations. She revealed the incident when Old Lady Lin and Lin Jie, accompanied by Lin Laoyao’s wife, cto their house demanding money for their retirement.
She also mentioned how Lin Jie had brought a few thugs to destroy the vegetables in their field, threatening to beat Papa Lin into submission.
Upon hearing this, Gu Shan and Zhang Mei’s faces darkened. This was not a request for retirement money; it was outright robbery. People like this should be in jail, not running amok in society.
They regretted getting involved in this mess. It was utterly humiliating that they had spoken up for such people.
Lin Miao was speechless. She knew that the incidents her mother described were indeed something Lin Laoyao’s wife and Lin Jie were capable of.
In her eagerness to deal with Gu Zi, she had not thought things through when she saw Lin Laoyao’s family members approaching her for help. She had been manipulated by them, and now, her adoptive parents were disappointed in her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLin Miao looked at her adoptive mother for a long time, but Mother Lin did not meet her gaze. In her panic, Lin Miao called out, “Mother, I’m sorry. I was so worried about my sister that I didn’t notice how severe Dad’s injuries were. I didn’t know that my uncle and aunt would lie like this! Mom, Dad, you’re not angry with me, are you?”
As she spoke, she turned to look at her father lying on the hospital bed, hoping they would forgive her.
What she didn’t realize was that her actions had deeply disappointed her parents.
Finally, Mother Lin briefly met Lin Miao’s gaze, her tone distant as she said, “Since you’ve returned to your biological parents, it would be less confusing to call us uncle and aunt. Don’t say anything more, Lin Miao. Live your life well and correct your mistakes.”
After saying this, she no longer looked at Lin Miao, hoping that Lin Miao would cto her senses sooner rather than later.
Papa Lin, a man of few words, agreed with his wife’s sentiments. He had nothing to say to Lin Miao.
Seeing her parents’ reactions, Lin Miao’s resentment towards Gu Zi deepened.
In her previous life, no matter how she had changed, she always had the support and love of her adoptive family. Lin Miao was not willing to give up this love from her adoptive parents..
