Tong Caihe avoided looking, not daring to meet Lin Jianxue's eyes. She moved her lips for a long time before she managed to squeeze out a dry sentence: "No, I don't plan to go anywhere..."

The voice was so weak that even she felt guilty.

Lin Yuefeng's face at this moment had lost the gentleness he usually showed towards his in-laws, leaving only the dominance and coldness that usually comes from a high position.

He cast a heavy gaze upon Tong Caihe: "Since you have no plans to go anywhere, come inside first. I have something to ask you."

Tong Caihe was frightened by his unprecedented cold tone, and looking at Lin Yuefeng's ashen face, how could she dare to say no?

She pursed her lips and responded almost subconsciously: "...Okay."

He was so nervous that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. He followed the three members of the Lin family and carefully entered the house.

The light in the house was that old-fashioned dim incandescent lamp, barely illuminating the small living room.

The air was filled with the steam of food that had just been cooked.

Obviously, Tong Caihe has been busy here for a while.

Lin Jianxue did not sit down immediately. She walked straight to the kitchen without stopping.

He walked around the stove, lifted the lid of the pot and took a look. It was empty inside, with only a little residual warmth.

She then turned and walked out, her eyes falling on Tong Caihe who was huddled by the door, and asked in a flat tone: "Auntie Tong, you didn't cook for us?"

"Ah? Oh..." Tong Caihe was stunned for a moment, then quickly put on a flattering smile and explained, "I... I saw that it was getting dark, and I thought that your visit to the Public Security Bureau... would definitely take a long time, probably until late at night. So I thought I'd send you... some food first, and then I'll make you something hot when I get back..."

Lin Jianxue interrupted her before she could finish. "Who are you sending it to? Aunt Tong, you're taking my rice, my noodles, and the meat I just cooked yesterday and putting it in this thermos. Who are you planning to send it to?"

“I…I…”

Tong Caihe's face was pale and her lips were trembling, but she couldn't say a word.

She really didn't expect that the Lin family would come back so soon!

She thought that such a big scandal would have to be reported to the Public Security Bureau until tomorrow morning!

Lin Yuefeng had already sat down on the old sofa in the living room.

He looked at Tong Caihe, who looked guilty and speechless, and his patience ran out.

He slammed the armrest of the sofa with a dull thud and ordered, "Put the thermos down! Come here! I have something to ask you!"

There was no trace of family affection in his tone anymore, it was full of the majesty of a long-time high-ranking leader questioning his subordinates.

Where had Tong Caihe ever seen Lin Yuefeng speak so harshly?

I was so scared that my whole body trembled, my hands shook, and I almost dropped the thermos on the ground.

She hurriedly and tremblingly brought over the two thermoses and carefully placed them on the eight-immortals table in the Lin family.

After putting her things down, her eyes darted around, as if she had found a plan. The next second, she began wiping away her tears, her voice filled with sobs as she sobbed, "Old Lin, Teacher Shen, Xiaoxue, I...I'm so sorry for you all! I really didn't know anything! Yu Bai is such a fool! How could he do such a heartless thing! And that Yuning? I treated her like my own daughter, but she...how could she seduce Yu Bai! They...they're so sorry for Xiaoxue, and even more so for your Lin family!"

She wailed and pounded her chest, as if inconsolable. "If I had known they were in this kind of relationship, I... I would have broken Yu Bai's legs before I let him do such a bastard! I swear to God, I only found out about this the other day when I was at the guesthouse with you guys! I was stunned!"

As she spoke, she looked at Lin Jianxue for help and cried even more sincerely.

"Xiaoxue, my good child, look into Aunt Tong's eyes! Don't you know what kind of person Aunt Tong is? I've taken care of you since you were a child, how could I lie to you? Xiaoxue, you must believe Auntie, she really was kept in the dark!"

Lin Jianxue watched Tong Caihe's tearful performance quietly, and felt nauseous in her heart.
