Lin An insisted on seeing his new parents to the door before returning to his hospital bed.
Lin Wan and Lin Xia felt they were not outsiders and wanted to stay with Lin An, but Xu Mo drove them away.
Xu Mo blocked the two of them outside the ward door and said, "I'm really sorry, you can't be here."
Xu Mo didn't dare to look at Lin Xia, so he reasoned with Lin Wan: "I have no problem with you, but Lin An has no intention of talking to you right now. He keeps telling me that he doesn't want to see the Lin family. So don't stay here and bother him. It's so late, you should go back and rest. Don't make things difficult for me."
Lin Wan sobbed as she replied, "We are the ones who have wronged Xiao An. It's normal that he's unwilling to forgive us now."
Lin An felt annoyed at the sound of Lin Wan's voice, so he turned over and faced away from the door, trying to avoid seeing or hearing her.
With red and swollen eyes, Lin Wan looked at Lin An's retreating figure through the glass window of the ward door, tears streaming down her face as she asked Xu Mo:
"I know I was wrong, and all I want to do now is make up for the mistakes I made, but I don't know how. Can you teach me how to get my brother to forgive me?"
Lin Xia hugged Lin Wan with a bitter expression: "Big sister, we are all sorry for our brother. It's not just your fault."
Seeing Lin Xia's remorseful expression for the first time, Xu Mo softened and said:
"Lin An is a good person. If your purpose in reconciling with him is not based on self-interest, then it might be possible. But if you want him to be as obedient and obsequious as before, and to be a tool for you to use, then don't even dream about it."
“I can tell you with certainty that Lin An is no longer the Lin An he used to be. He can never go back to the way he was before. He is now richer than your Lin family. In terms of wealth, status, and connections, he has more than you do. So why would he forgive those who hurt him in the past?”
Upon hearing Xu Mo's words, the Lin sisters lowered their heads and fell silent.
Yes, a younger brother like Lin An is someone they can no longer reach. Why would someone in a position of power acknowledge them as their older sisters?
Now that Lin An has found godparents and relatives elsewhere, he no longer needs them at all.
Although they were genuinely remorseful, their desperate pleas for Lin An's forgiveness were nothing short of harassment. They were simply hoping Lin An would forgive them quickly to alleviate their conscience and reduce their guilt, which would only make Lin An more disgusted.
Xu Mo said calmly, "If you want to gain his forgiveness, you'll probably need to find a suitable way to get along with him. Let's leave here for today."
"Then I'll trouble you to take care of my brother." Lin Wan stopped insisting and pulled Lin Xia away from the hospital.
Except for Lu Miao, who was arranged to rest in the next ward, everyone else was sent away. Xu Mo breathed a sigh of relief and turned to enter the ward.
He thought Lin An was asleep, so he tiptoed to the bedside and saw Lin An's eyes wide open, looking at the needle marks on his arm:
"These are the needles that Doctor Lu used to treat you, to save you."
"So many?" Lin An couldn't help but complain in his heart. This is really not good, Doctor Lu. Is this some kind of cactus therapy?
"Um... Doctor Lu did his best."
Lin An sat up in bed and asked with a serious expression, "How is the police investigation going with my poisoning?"
"Someone poisoned your drink. It's all my fault for giving you the drink." Xu Mo looked remorseful. He regretted giving Lin An the drink, regretted going to dinner with Lin An, and even regretted breaking up with Xiao Tuanzi. He regretted a series of things, including pursuing Lin Xia.
Xu Mo sent the video footage retrieved by the police to Lin An.
Upon seeing the man tampering with the footage, Lin An recognized him as a slightly overweight man in black and exclaimed, "It's Lin Zhe!"
"This doesn't seem right, Lin Zhe isn't that fat," Xu Mo said, somewhat surprised.
"He'll gain weight if he stuffs something in his clothes, believe me, it's him!" The only person who knows Lin An's preferences and can get his hands on drugs is Lin Zhe.
Moreover, he had a motive. Once Lin An died, the Lin family could obtain his inheritance through legal means. Lin An had already thought of this. To completely get rid of the Lin family, he needed a formal agreement to sever ties and to publish it in the newspaper.
There is a fixed procedure for publishing a notice in the newspaper, which requires both parties to be present. Because it is too complicated, he knew that the Lin family would not cooperate, so he put it aside for the time being.
However, Lin An has already left a will with his lawyer. In the event of his death, all his cash will be left to the Leng family of three, and his shares will be equally distributed among all employees of Xiao An Company.
Of course, he wouldn't reveal the will. People die for money, birds die for food; he was afraid that if his company employees found out, they would all want to kill him.
"Lin An, your health is important. Don't think about these things for now. Get some sleep first," Xu Mo advised.
"It's alright! Bring me paper and pen."
Lin An took the paper and pen, quickly drew a health talisman for himself, and put it in his pants pocket.
Then, the needle marks on his body healed one by one at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Xu Mo got goosebumps from looking at it, and Lin An also sighed, realizing that the ballpoint pen drawing actually had an effect. He would have to carry a health talisman with him from now on, so that even if he couldn't resist the poison, he could still maintain a good physical condition.
Xu Mo calmed himself down and asked, "If it really is Lin Zhe, what do you plan to do? The police say they haven't found any evidence."
In other words, bringing him to justice will be quite difficult.
Lin An used to think about staying away from the Lin family and starting a new life. He thought, "I won't offend others unless they offend me. I'll just wait for Lin Zhe to bring trouble to the Lin family."
He completely underestimated the extent of Lin Zhe's ruthlessness and his willingness to directly attack him. This time, Lin An definitely couldn't let him live any longer, otherwise it would be a disrespect to his hard-won life.
A terrifying killing intent flashed in Lin An's eyes as he asked in a calm tone, "Do you think the best way to take revenge on someone is to kill them, or to make them wish they were dead?"
Xu Mo felt a little scared; he really didn't know how to answer this question.
Lin An didn't expect him to give her an answer, and continued:
"Okay, I'm going to take a nap. Could you print out my exam admission ticket for me? I need to take the college entrance exam tomorrow... ah, no, today."
"Didn't you say you weren't going to participate?"
Lin An did say that he didn't want to take up too many social resources, but he doesn't think that way anymore. There's no need to restrain himself with the standards of a saint. He might not take them, but someone like Lin Zhe might. He doesn't believe that Lin Zhe would openly and honestly get into university based on his own abilities.
In his previous life, Lin Zhe attended a prestigious university. Given his abilities, he would definitely have cheated.
So this time, Lin An not only has to take the college entrance exam, but he also can't let Lin Zhe take it.
