Before Chapter 318 concludes—I am your real grandfather.
With her current strength, she could easily support ten grandfathers, let alone two.
“Good, good, good children, we…” Zhao Yunzheng and Li Chaoyang, two grown men, were so moved by Lin Luoxi’s words that they hugged each other and cried.
They were the ones who owed Lin Luoxi and the others, yet not only did they not blame them, they were so understanding, saying they would take care of them in their old age. They…
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, Luo Xi, I'm your real grandfather, your real grandfather..." Seeing that Zhao Yunzheng and Li Chaoyang had stolen his thunder, Lin Lingtian finally got anxious.
"But I noticed that you seem to dislike us. When we came in, you deliberately looked us up and down with that scrutinizing gaze. Are you looking down on us because we're from the countryside?"
"Or are you afraid that we peasants will cling to you and refuse to let you go?"
Lin Luoxi wasn't afraid of Lin Lingtian's imposing presence. After all, although she acknowledged that the old princess was their grandmother, it didn't mean she would necessarily acknowledge that the man in front of her was their grandfather.
Even if they admit it, they might not necessarily go to the capital with him. After all, with their abilities, they can live a prosperous life in this remote and impoverished place, so why should they be constantly constrained by others?
"Child, that's not what I meant, that's not what I meant..."
Lin Lingtian discovered that among the Lin family, this girl was the most difficult to deal with. She was just as sharp-tongued as his princess, and he couldn't win an argument with her, nor did he dare to hit her.
"That's not what I meant. What did I mean then?"
"Although you are a prince of a dynasty, we are not inferior. We have lived to this age without relying on you for survival, haven't we?"
Don't think she didn't know that before she even came in, this old man deliberately released that kind of pressure on her family, clearly trying to test them. What's there to test? If you want to acknowledge them, then acknowledge them; if you don't want to, then get lost.
Zhao Yunzheng and Li Chaoyang rarely saw their prince get the short end of the stick from a young girl, so they both buried their heads in their food and made no attempt to step in and smooth things over.
“Go, go. Since you don’t want to acknowledge my sons, grandsons, and granddaughters, then go back to your capital and be a prince. I’ll stay here and be their grandmother. We’ll keep to ourselves and not interfere with each other.”
Knowing that Lin Luoxi was angry, the old princess was afraid that Lin Luoxi would not even acknowledge her as her grandmother, so she quickly tried to distance herself from Lin Lingtian and get rid of him.
"Grandma, I really know I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have treated you like that." He's probably the only one who's been chased away by his own princess.
I shouldn't have done that on purpose. Now I'm in a difficult situation, and this girl is holding a grudge against me.
Lin Luoxi didn't speak, but stood next to Xie Hanchuan, playing with Xie Hanchuan's sleeve.
"Luo Xi, your grandfather didn't do it on purpose. He used to fight on the battlefield all the time, so he probably developed this bad habit..."
It was rare for the old princess to see her husband admit his mistakes, so she wanted to plead for Lin Lingtian.
"Grandma, this is home, not a battlefield. I can tell whether it's a bad habit I've developed or something I did on purpose."
Wasn't it just a test to see if they had developed the timid and cowardly nature typical of country folk, the kind of petty mentality that prevents them from achieving great things?
“I will protect my family. No matter if they are cowardly or incapable of great things, they are still my family. I will never let anyone make my family suffer.”
Lin Luoxi was angry simply because this so-called blood-related grandfather, when he came to find them, did not show the joy of finding a close blood relative, but rather tested their worth.
"We're living perfectly well here, and we don't need anyone to acknowledge us as family. Since you're deciding whether to acknowledge us based on our perceived value, then please leave now, and don't bother coming back!"
After Lin Luoxi finished speaking, she pulled Xie Hanchuan, Lin Wangshi, Lin Dayou, and called Lin Wenqian and the two grandfathers she had just recognized, and returned to the Lin family.
The villagers who were having a feast at the Lin family's house were astonished to see Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan return so quickly. However, seeing Lin Luoxi's displeased expression, no one dared to say a word and kept quiet, burying their heads in their food.
Back at the Lin family home, Lin Luoxi tried to calm herself down and put on a smile, telling the villagers to eat and drink well.
Seeing that the villagers were enjoying their meal in peace, he then led Lin Wangshi and the others back to the backyard.
She summoned Zhao Ximo and others, and took Zhao Yunzheng and Li Chaoyang away to rest, as she had something to say to her family.
"Little sister, you're awesome!" Back home, Lin Wenqian breathed a sigh of relief. With no outsiders around, he couldn't help but give Lin Luqi a thumbs up.
"Brother, really! Guests are guests, and no matter the occasion, as the host, you should stand up straight. If anything happens, we're here for you."
"Father, I'm not trying to criticize you, but people are already acting like that on our turf, and you're still holding back? Do you really want to go back and be your heir?"
“If you really want to go back to enjoy wealth and luxury, I’ll have your things packed tonight and you can go to the capital with them. We’re not going. This is our home, and I’m not going anywhere.”
After talking about Lin Wenqian, the eldest son, he started criticizing Lin Dayou, saying that he was being bullied and didn't know how to fight back.
As long as you don't depend on others for survival, no matter who comes, you should stand tall and be respected.
"Second sister, I know I was wrong." Lin Wenqian was really frightened when he saw Lin Luoxi so angry for the first time.
Realizing that he had made some mistakes in handling the situation, he quickly apologized to Lin Luoxi.
"Daughter, I was wrong!" Looking back now, Lin Dayou also feels that he was very cowardly back then. If he could do it all over again, he would definitely show the attitude of a master.
"What's the use of just knowing you're wrong? You are the eldest son and the pillar of the family, respectively. You both need to stand up for yourselves in everything you do."
“As your mother, my younger brother and sister have been the pillars of our family, but you all act like cowards when things go wrong. I am very dissatisfied with how you handled things today.”
Lin Luoxi took a deep breath, trying to calm her still-burning anger. She stopped talking and instead pulled Xie Hanchuan back to her own home.
Lin Wangshi glanced at the dejected Lin Wenqian and Lin Dayou, sighed, and went back to her room.
Her daughter was right. If Lin Dayou wanted to go back to Beijing to enjoy his wealth and luxury, then she would let him go back and just let him give her a divorce agreement.
Lin Wentao and Lin Luoning couldn't help but feel relieved that they were young, otherwise their second sister's anger would have affected them.
