Chapter 11 Chapter 13 Either acknowledge the relationship or break it off
In the afternoon, there was a knock on the gate of Xu's courtyard, and Xu Lin had to end his practice.
When I opened the gate, I saw that the person coming was a man in his early thirties, standing tall and with sharp eyes. I could tell at first glance that he was no ordinary man.
"Hello, who are you looking for?" Xu Lin asked.
"Hello, I'm looking for Xu Lin." The man stared into Xu Lin's eyes, and seeing Xu Lin's puzzled expression, he said:
"My old man and his wife want to see you. Please come with me."
"Your grandfather?" Xu Lin looked the man up and down, had a guess in his mind, and immediately nodded in agreement.
Xu Lin locked the door and followed the man out of the alley, got into a car, and drove towards their destination.
The man who picked up the person couldn't help shaking his head when he saw Xu Lin looking down at her toes, looking petty.
With this temperament and courage, how should I put it, the man's mood is quite complicated.
You might say she is timid, but she dares to follow a stranger like herself. You might say she is brave, but she doesn't even dare to look up at people.
Oh, no matter how I look at it, it seems like he is lacking in common sense.
There was no conversation along the way, and the car stopped at the gate of a courtyard.
Xu Lin looked at the magnificent courtyard and guessed that this might be where the old man of the Qin family would live in his old age.
I don’t know why the two old men want to see me?
With doubts, Xu Lin followed the man to the living room. The living room was very large and was furnished with old mahogany furniture.
Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin sat on the Eight Immortals Chairs at the top, just like the officials and their wives in ancient times, with an imposing aura.
The old man is rather thin, but he is in good spirits, with a long face and a pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes, which makes people feel somewhat favorable towards him for no reason.
The old lady's face was cold but with a hint of arrogance. At a glance, Xu Lin could see a condescending air from the old lady.
When Xu Lin was looking at the two old people, the two old people were also looking at Xu Lin. Their first reaction was to frown and look disdainful.
Looking at the little girl with patched clothes, hunched back, lowered head, and skinny appearance, the old man and the old woman looked at each other and shook their heads silently.
Obviously, he was quite dissatisfied with Xu Lin's appearance.
Such appearance and temperament are not worthy of the boy from the Su family.
The moment they shook their heads, Xu Lin laughed faintly. They really were a powerful family.
In her previous life, she was lame and this family looked down on her and refused to acknowledge her. What about this life?
Is she willing to have a bad image? She doesn't want to either.
It was clearly them who failed to protect her when she was still an infant, so why is she looking disappointed now?
Xu Lin suddenly raised his head and looked at the two people on the high seat, and asked coldly: "Who are you? What do you want to talk to me about?"
"We are." Old Master Qin was about to introduce himself when he was interrupted by Old Madam Qin pulling his sleeve.
"Our last name is Qin. You can call me Grandma Qin and him Grandpa Qin."
Old Madam Qin had a cold face and said something that made Xu Lin angry without any warmth in her tone.
"We heard that you didn't have a good life in the Xu family, so we wanted to adopt you and provide you with a better living environment."
After saying this, he looked at Xu Lin with a patronizing look, waiting for Xu Lin to respond with gratitude.
But Xu Lin got furious when he heard this. What Grandpa Qin, what Grandma Qin, bah, have some shame.
Still want to adopt? Does she need an adopter?
She is clearly a blood relative, but after losing her, he put on a patronizing expression and adopted her, expecting her to be grateful to him. What good is he thinking?
"Oh, adopt me. In what capacity did you adopt me? As your biological grandparents?"
Staring at the mocking smile on the palm-sized face, Old Madam Qin's expression froze.
She thought Xu Lin didn't know her own life experience, but she didn't expect that she already knew it and even knew of their existence.
Haha, what a scheming woman.
Even though she knew the truth, she still pretended not to know them. When she saw that they were unwilling to acknowledge her identity, she became angry again.
Thinking of this, the look of disgust on Old Madam Qin's face became even more intense.
But Old Master Qin felt a little embarrassed, his face turned red for no reason, he lowered his head in shame, and did not dare to look Xu Lin in the eye.
Yes, this is their biological granddaughter, but she has to return to the Qin family as an adopted daughter, which is indeed quite unkind.
"Oh, forget about adopting. There is no such thing as adoption here. You either acknowledge the relationship or you break it off.
You guys should stop using those malicious methods." Xu Lin said what was in her heart, staring at Old Madam Qin calmly.
The defiant look in his eyes made Old Madam Qin furious, and he was even more infuriated by Xu Lin's tone.
Madam Qin sneered three times and said sarcastically, "Either acknowledge the relationship or break it off, you are so arrogant.
If you really wanted to sever the relationship, why did you write to my sons to remind them that they had taken the wrong child? "
"It's not a mistake, it's a malicious switch. As for writing a letter, it's because you have the right to know the truth.
And I also need an explanation, don't I?" Xu Lin stared at Old Lady Qin, not retreating a single step.
"You, the Qin family, gave birth to me but did not protect me, and gave birth to me but did not raise me. This is your mistake, it is your fault.
And I paid the price for your actions and was abused for more than ten years. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
"Confess, huh." Old Madam Qin sneered again. She felt that Xu Lin was very uncultured for chasing them for a confession.
She deserves it!
"What will you do if there is no explanation?" asked Old Lady Qin.
"How?" Xu Lin raised her eyebrows, her tone becoming increasingly harsh. In both her past and present lives, she had been abandoned by this family.
I couldn't suppress the anger in my heart. "If you don't give me an explanation,
Then I will go to the workplace where your son and daughter-in-law work to ask for an explanation, and I will go to the Kyoto Municipal Committee to ask for an explanation,
I still don’t believe it, and I can’t get an explanation.”
Xu Lin's words made Old Madam Qin's pupils shrink. She looked at Xu Lin carefully again and admitted that her first impression was wrong.
I thought he was a person with low self-esteem and cowardice, but I didn't expect him to be quite strong. Unfortunately, being too strong can easily lead to failure.
This personality is not suitable for living in a large family.
"Not really, not really." Old Master Qin waved his hands and looked at Xu Lin with an apologetic look in his eyes, "My child,
It's not that we don't want to acknowledge you, it's just that it's not convenient right now. Don't worry, although you are returning as an adopted daughter,
But we will treat you as a real child of the Qin family. "
"I am obviously the real child of the Qin family. Why should I let you treat me as the real child of the Qin family?"
Xu Lin rolled her eyes. She just thought it was funny. It wasn't bullshit, but it was too much. She expressed her position again:
"I repeat, either acknowledge the relationship or break it off, there are only two options, don't ask me to adopt a daughter,"
Xu Lin stared into the eyes of the two elderly people and said, "Please tell your son and daughter-in-law this. I will give you one day to think about it.
Please reply to me tomorrow afternoon. If you don’t reply by then, don’t blame me for being heartless.”
