“Kexin, how can you say that? He’s your brother!” Mrs. Lin was also furious, but Lin Kexin was her daughter after all, so she didn’t reprimand her further.
“Lin Kexin, don’t push your luck. I’m your brother. How can you say that I’ll commit arson and murder? I think you just want me to die!” Hearing the word “murder”, Lin Kedong’s heart skipped a beat and he raised his voice again.
“That’s enough! Shut up!” Just as the siblings were about to continue arguing, Mr. Lin finally spoke with a dignified voice.
Lin Kexin closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes again, she seemed to have made up her mind and said with disappointment, “Dad, Mom, I have something on, so I’ll leave first. My son hasn’t been feeling well recently. If there’s nothing important, don’t call me.”
After saying that, she picked up her handbag and left.
“Ke… Kexin!”
Seeing her daughter leave in a hurry, Mrs. Lin was both anxious and helpless. “Ah! What’s going on?”
“Mom, Sister can leave if she wants to. She’s already married. Why do you keep asking her to come back?” Lin Kedong said indifferently, and Zhong Jiajia sat down on the sofa where Lin Kexin was originally sitting.
Zhong Jiajia glanced in the direction where Lin Kexin left without a trace, and a hint of emotion flashed through her lowered eyes.
“Why are your words so unpleasant? Even if your sister is married, she’s still your sister.” Mrs. Lin glanced at her son and lectured him.
“Since Auntie treats your daughter so well, you must also treat your daughter-in-law very well, right? After all, your daughter-in-law is considered half a daughter after marrying in.” Zhong Jiajia’s sudden words made the atmosphere in the Lin family that had just eased up instantly freeze again.
Mrs. Lin’s expression immediately darkened. “What do you mean? You haven’t even married into the Lin family and you’re already scolding an old woman like me!”
Perhaps it was an illusion, but there seemed to be a hint of guilt in Mrs. Lin’s voice.
Zhong Jiajia seemed to realize that she said something wrong and her sweet face immediately became pitiful. “Auntie, I didn’t mean that. I… I just think you’re very kind. If I said something wrong, I’m sorry. Please forgive me, Auntie.”
Lu Zijia glanced at Zhong Jiajia and sighed in her mind. As expected of a drama queen! Her ability to lie through her teeth was top-notch. With Mrs. Lin’s personality, who wasn’t kind at all, Zhong Jiajia could still manage to say those words.
Besides, Zhong Jiajia also threw Mother Lin a difficult question. If Mrs. Lin felt that Zhong Jiajia said something wrong, it meant that she knew she wasn’t kind either.
However, if she admitted that Zhong Jiajia didn’t say anything wrong, it would make Mrs. Lin feel like she approved of Zhong Jiajia.
Either way, it was putting Mrs. Lin in a spot.
“Mom, Jiajia is fine. Don’t make things difficult for her.” Lin Kedong spoke at the right time and solved Mrs. Lin’s problem.
Mrs. Lin glared at Zhong Jiajia unkindly. “Hmph, she hasn’t even married you yet, but you’re already defending her. If both of you get married, will I have to stand aside?”
“Mom…” Lin Kedong frowned and seemed a bit dissatisfied.
Seeing her son like this, Mrs. Lin was extremely frustrated. “Alright, alright, I won’t care about your matters anymore, alright?”
Mrs. Lin had said this countless times, but the same thing would happen all over again.
