"Dad, I'm sorry. You can resent me, hate me, and take revenge however you want, but can you please spare your sister? She's still so young..."
"Enough!"
The surroundings fell silent instantly. Lin Yue's shout had stunned Lin Qingguo, who stood frozen in place. She'd heard those words all day; she'd had enough!
The mist in Lin Yue's eyes gradually dissipated, and her expression turned cold. "Let me tell you, Jiang Anxin is definitely going to jail! She should be punished for her mistakes, and so should you. Our father-daughter relationship ended seventeen years ago. Please remember, you only have one daughter, Jiang Anxin. Don't come looking for me again. Goodbye."
"Yueyue, why do you have to dwell on the past? People should look forward, can't you..."
“Mr. Lin!” Song Yunzheng interrupted him sharply, quickly stepping in front of Lin Yue, a faint chill flashing in his eyes. “I think my wife has made herself clear enough. Please leave.”
After saying that, he took Lin Yue's hand and walked into the elevator without looking back.
Pushing open the door, Lin Yue went inside first, quickly changed into slippers, and then hurried to the bathroom to wash her hands.
Just as Song Yunzheng changed his shoes, he saw Lin Yue rush into the kitchen again, taking some fruit from the refrigerator. She skillfully washed, sliced, and plated the fruit, then carried the plate out of the kitchen. As she passed Song Yunzheng, she flashed an exaggerated smile: "Come and eat some fruit!" Then she turned and went into the living room.
Before long, he started wiping the floor again with a rag, squatting down to wipe it. More and more water stains appeared on the originally spotless floor tiles... It seemed impossible to clean them properly.
Song Yunzheng silently followed her, watching her try her best to use busyness to cover up the sadness in her heart.
Finally, he slowly knelt down, gently cupped her cheeks, and looked at her with tenderness and concern. His clear eyes were churning with pain and sorrow, tears welling up and reddening her eyes.
"That's my dad. I'm sorry you had to see that." Lin Yue's voice was unusually hoarse, as if she had used all her strength to squeeze out these words.
Song Yunzheng shook his head slightly, a warm smile on his face. Then, he gently pulled Lin Yue into his arms, tenderly stroking her back, and softly coaxed her, "It's okay, it's okay. I'm here. Cry if you want to. My darling, you don't have to wrong yourself anymore."
His words were like a key, unlocking the floodgates of Lin Yue's emotions. In an instant, sorrow surged into her heart like a tidal wave, and tears welled up in her eyes, instantly wetting her cheeks.
Lin Yue nestled in Song Yunzheng's arms, sobbing like a helpless child, releasing all the pain and grievances in her heart. She realized that recognizing the fact that her parents didn't love her was so unbearable.
——
Ultimately, Jiang Anxin was imprisoned for kidnapping and threatening the victim, resulting in serious injury. He was sentenced to five years in prison and his personal property was confiscated.
After Song Yunzheng secretly made arrangements, the news that the daughter of Tianhua Group was sent to prison quickly became the top trending topic, and the stock price plummeted.
As the saying goes, "When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down," and many classmates who had been bullied by Jiang Anxin came forward to expose her crimes of bullying and oppressing classmates during high school.
Lin Yue glanced casually at the trending topics on Weibo, quickly exited, a slight smile playing on her lips, and muttered softly, "Serves them right!" She then placed her phone aside and ignored it.
"Huh? Who deserves it?" Jiang Li suddenly moved closer to Lin Yue with a curious look on her face.
For a woman immersed in love, who has the mind to pay attention to gossip and trending topics? She feels like there's not enough time to spend 24 hours a day with her adorable boyfriend.
“The criminals deserved it, they deserved to be caught.” Lin Yue said, stuffing the book in her hand into Jiang Li’s arms, her face beaming with a bright smile. “Thank you for your hard work, darling.”
Since moving into Courtyard No. 1, Jiang Li has always thoughtfully brought her the textbooks she needed for class and then returned them to her.
"Final exams are next week, aren't you going to take them home to study?"
"No need, I've already memorized it all." She's very good at studying and there's nothing to worry about.
"Hey genius~ Can I borrow your brain for a bit? I haven't been studying much lately, and I'm terrified of failing my final exams." Jiang Li said with a mournful face.
"There's still a week left, plenty of time for you to study. Okay, I'm not talking to you anymore, Dr. Song is waiting for me at the school gate." As soon as Lin Yue finished speaking, she ran towards the school gate without waiting for Jiang Li's response.
She put on her headphones, humming a song as she walked, in a great mood, taking particularly long strides.
Suddenly, a figure appeared around the corner. Before she could react, she crashed straight into it. With a loud bang, several thick books lay scattered on the ground, and Lin Yue was knocked back several steps.
"I'm so sorry... I'll help you pick them up." Lin Yue hurriedly squatted down and picked up the books scattered on the ground.
"It's okay, I was distracted while walking too."
Huh? That voice... Lin Yue suddenly looked up and froze on the spot, "Hello...Teacher Meng."
"Hello." Meng Wanning raised her hand to brush a strand of hair that had fallen beside her ear and smiled gently. She enjoyed the prestige that her profession brought her.
Lin Yue stood up hesitantly and handed the book in her hand to Meng Wanning. "Teacher Meng, I'm leaving now."
"Lin Yue, are your injuries fully healed?"
