Lin Yunxi might have been born in a poor family in a village but thanks to the Lin brothers and Father Lin she was raised as a princess of the house by her family and what was more she was born with sensitive skin, even the smallest amount of dirt would end up making her face pop a multitude of pimples, now she was doused with a bucket full of dirty water, Lin Yunxi was more or less aware of what was going to happen to her face tomorrow morning.
” The same way you can emotionally blackmail your mother!” snapped Lin Zhi as she threw the bucket on the ground and grounded out. ” Lin Yunxi, you are really good! I underestimated you —— yesterday you cold-heartedly turned your eyes away from your mother and now that you are in trouble, you want your mother to return back to the house and raise you two just like before—— two pampered rich kids?”
Lin Zhi was a straight shooter, she didn’t like wasting her time and nor did she like wasting her spit on people she didn’t find important. So, she didn’t waste her time and jumped straight to the point as she rolled her eyes and laid out whatever Lin Yunxi and Lin Che were hiding in their hearts. When she saw that their expressions have turned pale she sneered. ” What? Did you think that you are the only one who knew about Xing Bengt’s execution? And everyone here is stupid fools? We know about it as well, so what happened? Did that new mother of yours run away? She must have or else your grandma wouldn’t have sent you here asking Sister Zhang to return to the house, isn’t that it?”
Zhang Xiaohui stared at her children, she wanted them to refute it but when she noticed the panic flash in their eyes, her eyes dimmed and whatever was left of her heart fell right into the bottom of her stomach. So, this was why the two of them came rushing to get her, it wasn’t because they missed her or wanted to take her back home because they loved her—— no, they were here because that An Xia ran away and most probably she pulled some stunt that caused the Lin family to lower their heads.
She pursed her lips and clenched her fists. She was disappointed in Lin Yunxi and Lin Che, there was no way she was going to hide that —— but it was also true that what she was doing was a bit selfish. As a mother she should have been there for her kids but—— no, that wasn’t right. Ever since she gave birth to these two debt collectors, she has been putting them first. But when she needed them the most they left her alone and now that they wanted her, they just asked her to come back, with no apology?
It’s true she was their mother but does that mean, she needed to put up with them even when they are being ungrateful to her like this?
Zhang Xiaohui licked her lips, her emotions were in turmoil. As a mother, she naturally loved her kids and thought that they were good but she wasn’t willing to forget the inhuman beating that she received nor was she willing to forget their silence as they get on the days without looking at her and the injuries that she had on her body. They turned a blind eye to her sufferings, so why can’t she turn a blind eye to them? Just because she was their mother?
Su Wan stared at Zhang Xiaohui, she knew that whatever choice Zhang Xiaohui made now, would be harder than any other choice she has made in her life. It wasn’t simple nor was it easy but there was nothing else they could do—— this was her fight and only Zhang Xiaohui can fight it.
” Wait a minute.” After pondering for a while, Zhang Xiaohui parted her lips and spat out these three words before she turned around and walked inside.
Lin Yunxi and Lin Che’s eyes brightened as they secretly shook their hands in excitement. They were certain that whatever they just said worked on their mother. Lin Zhi on the other hand pursed her lips in discontent, as she shook her head in disappointment. This Zhang Xiaohui was too easy to coax, they didn’t even have to try.
When Lin Yunxi saw that her mother has agreed to return home with them she hurriedly looked at Lin Zhi as she smiled and asked, ” Aunt, are you going to come with us too?”
” Going back with you? I would rather scratch my ass with a wooden splinter,” said Lin Zhi sarcastically as she narrowed her eyes and gave Lin Yunxi a fake smile. Was this girl dreaming? Going back to that house? She might as well go back to her late husband’s house and have a one on one with his official wife.
” Yeah, why will sister Zhi go with you?” Fang Zimo who was standing behind Lin Zhi chimed unhappily. If Sister Zhi left then how will he pursue her?
