Lin Rushuang had been with Li Wenyuan since she was eighteen. Due to an accident, her deaf ears regained hearing while saving him.
Excited, she prepared to tell him the news, only to find him...
Chapter 341 Seeing the Weakness Behind Her
Suddenly, a deep and cold male voice sounded. When Lin Rushang heard this voice, she was almost stunned.
She subconsciously turned her head. She didn't know when He Tingchen was standing at the door. The frame that supported him had been taken down. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but he looked much more energetic now.
Delicate eyebrows, superior facial features, just as she remembered, aloof and noble. When those dark eyes looked at her, they hid a bottomless vortex.
As soon as He Tingchen appeared, the atmosphere in the entire ward changed, exuding a strong sense of oppression.
Mr. Lin, who had been chattering away just now, stopped talking when he saw He Tingchen.
Lin Jianguo knew that He Tingchen was very good to Lin Rushuang, so he became a little more polite towards him.
"Tingchen, the thing is, we're telling Rushuang about Yuxi. It's not that we want to threaten her with our own lives, but we're all human."
"She has seen my body and her grandfather's body. Our Lin family's son is still so young. It's not like the Lin family will be left without a successor after we two old guys pass away."
"That's your Lin family's problem. What does it have to do with her? You kicked her out the moment you found out she wasn't the Lin family's daughter. So she has no responsibility to the Lin family. When you need her, you call her back. When she's no longer useful, you cut ties."
"Is this the face of your Lin family?"
He Tingchen always speaks directly. He doesn't give face to anyone. His words are like waves, hitting Master Lin and Lin Jianguo on the heads.
His words were too harsh and too straightforward. Mr. Lin was so old and had always been respected by the younger generation. When had he ever been treated like this?
He was so angry that his eyes and nose were no longer in focus, and his whole body was shaking.
"You...how can you talk like that?"
He Tingchen glanced over coldly: "There are even more unpleasant things to hear, do you want to hear them?"
Master Lin was stunned, feeling completely stunned. Although he had always heard that He Tingchen was an unruly, solitary person with an arrogant and eccentric personality, after experiencing it in person, he still felt a little overwhelmed.
Lin Jianguo didn't want to offend He Tingchen, and he was counting on He Tingchen to protect Lin Rushang in the future.
He wanted to find someone to support his daughter.
He put on a gentle smile and tried to smooth things over.
"It's like this, Tingchen, you may have misunderstood Grandpa. We know that Yuxi did something bad to Rushuang, and this incident has had a negative impact on her, but Yuxi is still her sister after all. We will teach Yuxi a lesson."
He Tingchen put his hands in his trouser pockets, tilted his head to look at them with a frown, and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
"Oh, how are you planning to discipline her? I'd like to hear it. Are you planning to give her a beating, a scolding, or perhaps even put her in solitary confinement to make her reflect on her behavior?"
As soon as He Tingchen said this, the entire ward fell silent.
Mr. Lin and Lin Jianguo were silent because He Tingchen was right, they only planned to give Lin Yuxi a small punishment and a big warning.
Isn't it said that both the palm and the back of the hand are made of flesh? Since you take it so seriously, what kind of punishment can be given?
Mr. Lin thought for a moment, and finally spoke slowly.
"Then according to you, what do you want me to do in exchange for letting Yuxi go?"
He Tingchen cleared his throat. "It's very simple. One life for another. Didn't she bribe someone to inject Lin Rushuang with drugs to kill her? Then let Lin Yuxi suffer the same fate."
"Of course, I don't know if she can survive in this situation. If she fails in her resistance and dies, then it can only be said that it is her fate."
"You are just joking!"
He Tingchen's words completely infuriated Mr. Lin who was lying on the hospital bed. He choked and roared.
But He Tingchen still looked calm and composed, without even raising his eyelids, he said in a nonchalant manner.
"Why, if it's Lin Rushuang, you'll just let her go. How can it be your own sister, but if it's Lin Yuxi, it's nonsense."
"If I remember correctly, Lin Rushuang was still unconscious at the time, so the chance of success was 100%. I haven't even put Lin Yuxi into a coma yet, and you guys reacted so strongly."
"That's too much!"
He Tingchen's last sentence was spoken in a high-pitched voice, as if stained with a layer of venom, sending chills down one's spine.
Lin Rushang looked at He Tingchen with red eyes. It was not the first time that He Tingchen stood up for her, but this time, it was different.
He saw her weakest point, the area she cared about the most. Those were the words she wanted to say but knew that saying them would be of no use.
Over the years, no one has ever spoken up for her. Even if she said something similar herself, Mr. Lin would just think she was ignorant.
No one listened to her properly, and they would not reflect on their own behavior through her words.
He Tingchen grabbed Lin Rushuang in his arms, as if to assert his sovereignty.
"I'm making this clear. From now on, no one, not even an elder, has the right or reason to force her to do anything. If you continue to pressure her and force her to withdraw the lawsuit to satisfy you, then I have the ability to send Lin Yuxi to jail."
Master Lin supported himself and pointed at He Tingchen with a trembling finger.
"You...you two are completely heartless and don't care about family affection at all. No wonder He Tingchen, your old man doesn't want you, and your Li family doesn't want to recognize you. Looking at you like this, if I were a member of your Li family, I wouldn't want a cold-blooded person to be..."
"Master Lin! I don't mind you saying that about me, since my last name is Lin. But He Tingchen isn't from your Lin family, so you have no right to say that about him!"
"As for the Li family, even if he wants to recognize them as family, we won't agree. Are they worthy?"
"Also, He Tingchen doesn't have no family either. I am his family!"
After saying that, Lin Rushang held He Tingchen's hand with her backhand and looked up at him soothingly.
"I've also delivered the medicine. Let's go back. Don't you still have a lot of things to do at the company? I'll stay with you."
"Um."
He Tingchen also held Lin Rushang's hand tightly. With their fingers interlocked, they could feel the warmth of each other's palms.
The two men walked out of the ward in such a swagger, ignoring Mr. Lin's angry look.
After leaving the hospital, Lin Rushang felt that the suffocating feeling in her heart was slightly relieved. She felt as if all the strength had been drained from her body. She sat on the bench and let out a long sigh.
He Tingchen also sat next to her.
"How's it going? Doesn't it feel good? It's like years of pent-up resentment have been released in this instant."
Lin Rushuang nodded: "Yeah, it's really cool, but this is something you say as a bystander. It has a completely different meaning when you say it to me."
The effects expressed are all different.
He Tingchen turned his head and said to her, "You don't need to worry about so much, just do your best."
"Do whatever you think in your heart. Don't worry about others or care about others."
"I will stand by you unconditionally, even if you are wrong."
Lin Rushang stared at the man's dark eyes at that moment, and her tears could no longer be held back.
She had lived with Li Wenyuan for seven years, and Li Wenyuan only knew that she had strong working ability and ability to withstand pressure, as if she was an indestructible cockroach.
But he never saw the weakness behind her.
