Chapter 414 - 414: Lin Miao Is Not InnocentChapter 414: Lin Miao Is Not Innocent
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Gu couple continued to share the grievances of Lin Miao, implying that if Lin Miao had not been mistakenly taken, she would not have becwhat she was today. They believed that it was the Lin family’s failure to educate her properly, and the backward education and harsh living conditions of the rural area that led to Lin Miao’s somewhat twisted mentality.
Mother Lin’s face involuntarily turned cold. Only after they finished speaking did she respond, her tone icy. “Didn’t the police say that this matter would be handled according to the law? The crux of the problem shouldn’t lie with Gu Zi, should it?
“Moreover,” she continued, “we raised Lin Miao, but no one in our family, not me, my husband, my son, or my daughter-in-law, has ever had a criminal record for theft.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMother Lin knew well that rural people simply lacked the opportunity to read many books, but that didn’t mean they were born thieves, or that they would steal like thieves. At least in the Lin family, she couldn’t think of anyone who would have influenced Lin Miao to beca thief.
Lin Miao was the child she had raised, how could she not have feelings for her? But Lin Miao’s actions had utterlv chilled her heart.
Not to mention that previously, in order to please her biological parents, Lin Miao had deliberately distanced herself from the Lin family, as if she was afraid that they, as her poor foster family, would block her path to wealth. She was well aware of Lin Miao’s vanity, but she never thought she would be so heartless.
Now that she was facing prison, she turned to the Lins, who were known to be easy-going, and asked her biological parents to plead for her. It was a perfect example of recognizing people only when they were needed, which was even more chilling.
Gu Shan and Zhang Mei were taken aback, and upon reevaluating Mother Lin, they realized that this rural woman possessed an inherent good upbringing, gentle and courteous, polite and considerate in all matters, and quite unlike other rural women.
Upon closer inspection, they noticed that her aged face was extremely noble. This nobility seemed unrelated to her status or wealth, but rather a quality that money could not necessarily cultivate.
Zhang Mei looked on with a hint of envy, realizing that Lin Miao’s foster mother had such a delicate face, so refined that even age could not conceal it. Moreover, her nose was very straight, a feature rarely seen in city women, let alone a rural woman.
No wonder Gu Zi was so beautiful. Zhang Mei had watched Gu Zi grow up day by day, becoming more and more beautiful, but she had never understood why Gu Zi was so beautiful. Neither the Gu family nor the Zhang family had ever produced such a beautiful child. It turned out that everything had been traceable all along, Gu Zi was not their biological child.
Mrs. Lin appeared remarkably well, even more attractive than Zhang Mei, someone from the city. She carried an air of elegance that made Zhang Mei’s heart sink further, her voice unconsciously taking on a tone of grievance and sharpness.
“From what you’re saying, are you planning to abandon Lin Miao?” she asked, her voice strained. “Are you also holding a grudge against us like Gu Zi, for sending her back to the countryside? Do you all wish to see Lin Miao imprisoned?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“We have already promised to repay the money for Lin Miao. Why can’t you let her off this time? Is it Gu Zi? Is she the one who told you to abandon Lin Miao?”
Mr. Lin, seeing his wife and daughter being the target of Zhang Mei’s vented anger, felt compelled to intervene. “Mrs. Gu, we must be reasonable. The money was stolen by Lin Miao. Shouldn’t she be held accountable for her actions?
“Do you realize the amount of suffering and criticism our family has endured because of Lin Miao’s actions? Lin Miao is not innocent.”
Li Hua, knowing that her father-in-law was usually a man of few words, felt the situation had bectoo outrageous, forcing him to voice his grievances.
Li Hua defended her in-laws to the Gu couple, “Please stop, and stop seeking my parents. We can’t help in any way.
“Also, the damp, deserted, dilapidated house you first saw was where we moved after selling our hto repay the debt incurred when Lin Miao took the money. Perhaps you thought Lin Miao had always lived there?”
In reality, Lin Miao had not faced any of the consequences of her actions. She had never spent a single day in that broken-down house. Even when the Lin family was at its poorest, they still had a place to shield them from the wind and rain, it was not as destitute as it seemed.
Zhang Mei was momentarily speechless, unable to find her words. Initially, they had assumed that Lin Miao had grown up in that broken house. When they had mentioned it, Lin Miao hadn’t corrected them, so they had taken it as the
truth..
