After exchanging a few polite words with Tang Jian and giving each of the twins a small gift, Master Lin left to toast the other guests.
When the old lady Lin, sitting in the head seat, followed her son, she suddenly noticed Lin Zao, and the smile on her face instantly turned disgusted and repulsive.
This little bastard is still alive?
If you were to ask why Old Mrs. Lin disliked Qin Xue and her daughter so much, the first reason would naturally be that her son actually rebelled against her for the sake of a woman.
Secondly, Qin Xue is of low social status and became pregnant with her son before marriage. How could such a woman be worthy of being the daughter-in-law of the Lin family?
They should be dragged away and drowned in a pig cage!
Unfortunately, her son was stubborn and insisted on having Qin Xue, which made her sick for several days, but he still wouldn't change his mind.
Seeing that her son was determined, Old Mrs. Lin had no choice but to compromise.
However, her dislike for Qin Xue deepened even further, and she didn't even like her unborn grandson.
Qin Xue was incredibly resilient; despite all the humiliation and hardship she endured, she still managed to give birth safely, although she died of illness less than three years after giving birth.
However, this did not stop her from continuing to dislike Lin Zao, and since Lin Zao was only a granddaughter, not a grandson, she could not receive any of her affection.
She didn’t notice it when Lin Zao was still little, but as Lin Zao grew up, she realized that Lin Zao didn’t look like her son at all!
So Old Mrs. Lin suspected that Qin Xue had deceived her son, using a bastard to impersonate a child of the Lin family, and had cuckolded her son!
However, she had no evidence, since Qin Xue had already died by then, and her son was missing and his fate was unknown. She could only keep it to herself.
Those years were incredibly difficult for her, but as Lin Zao grew older, she became increasingly certain that Lin Zao was not her biological granddaughter.
She wanted to expose Lin Zao's true identity and drive her out, but she had no evidence. She couldn't force her son to be cuckolded, so she could only instruct her servants to bully and suppress Lin Zao.
Unexpectedly, this little bastard actually fought back. Fortunately, he later disappeared. It was said that he fell into the water and was swept away. Even his body was never found, so she was able to sleep peacefully.
She kept her suspicions to herself and didn't tell anyone, because if it were true, it would be a disgrace to the Lin family.
I never expected that after all these years, this little bastard would actually come to her birthday banquet.
They seem to be doing quite well.
Old Mrs. Lin's expression kept changing, and no one could understand the turmoil in her heart. At this moment, she only wanted to have Lin Zao driven out, but with so many people watching, she couldn't show it.
This familiar feeling of frustration hasn't returned for years!
Grandma Lin was getting on in years, and the sudden emotional fluctuations made her feel dizzy and lightheaded.
Seeing that the old lady was feeling unwell, holding her head and swaying as if she was about to faint, Aunt Lin, who was standing nearby, was frightened and quickly helped her up.
"Mother, what's wrong? Please don't frighten your daughter-in-law!"
With the help of her eldest daughter-in-law, Old Mrs. Lin managed to avoid fainting and embarrassing herself, and said while supporting herself:
"Distinguished guests, please excuse me, I am not feeling well, so I will be taking my leave now. Please enjoy your meal!"
Then she gestured to Aunt Lin to help her leave.
Lin Zao watched the two leave in a hurry, still somewhat surprised.
After all, the old lady was glaring at him fiercely just a moment ago, and now she's feeling unwell?
Could it be that there's some kind of conspiracy to get rid of her?
Before Lin Zao could figure it out, Wang Xuzhi started causing trouble.
