Lin Zhaoyue looked at Huang Dajin with complicated emotions. If this man had even a shred of conscience, she wouldn't be in this mess today.
I never imagined that my grandparents' deaths would be so simple.
No wonder Huang Dajin arranged for the two elders to be buried in such a hurry; it turns out he felt guilty.
Lin Zhaoyue stared directly at Huang Dajin without any attempt to hide her gaze.
Huang Dajin felt uncomfortable under her gaze and turned to look at Lin Zhaoyue helplessly, "If I release you today, can you pretend nothing happened?"
Lin Zhaoyue shook her head, "No."
"Dad, did you hear what this woman said? There's no turning back now. She'll come after us. We can't let her get away with this today."
Huang Zizhong was determined to teach Lin Zhaoyue a lesson, while Huang Dajin stood still.
He sighed, "You really do have the same stubborn temper as your mother. If you want to settle scores with me, I'm ready for you to come and settle scores with me anytime. As for other people, don't bother with them anymore."
Huang Dajin said in a deep voice, "If your maternal grandparents were still alive, they certainly wouldn't want the family to fight like this."
After he finished speaking, he stared intently at Lin Zhaoyue, waiting for her to say something.
Lin Zhaoyue's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Uncle, how dare you mention my maternal grandparents? Their deaths were related to you, weren't they? As their son, how can you have the nerve to do such a thing?"
Yu Shuangjiang looked at Lin Zhaoyue with displeasure. She was clearly deliberately trying to provoke them. Was this woman clever or stupid?
“Mr. Huang, someone has come from outside. They say it’s Lin Erwu and Jiang Jingzhou.”
Huang Dajin didn't expect them to arrive so quickly; it seems they had already received the news.
Now it's probably too late to hide them. When Lin Zhaoyue heard that they were coming, she became even more composed.
"Why are they here?" Huang Zizhong was clearly unaccustomed to such a scene and panicked immediately, his voice anxious, "Mom and Dad, what do we do now?"
Looking at his good-for-nothing son and then at the daughter born to his younger sister, Huang Dajin simply couldn't bear to look.
Everyone says that dragons beget dragons and phoenixes beget phoenixes. He thought he was no less than anyone else, but the son he fathered turned out to be a scoundrel.
All the troubles Huang Dajin is currently facing were caused by Huang Zizhong.
"Let them in."
Huang Dajin said wearily, waving his hand, "All of you sit down! No matter what happens later, neither of you, mother and daughter, are allowed to say a word, understand?"
"Mom!" Huang Zizhong couldn't understand why his father was still so calm. Was he going to sit here and wait to "die"?
He couldn't contain himself.
Yu Shuangjiang gave him a look that signaled him to stay calm and not to rush. Even if the sky were to fall, they, as his parents, would be there to support him.
As they were talking, Jiang Jingzhou and Lin Erwu entered the house. The first thing they saw was Lin Zhaoyue sitting on the sofa. Seeing that their daughter was alright, they finally felt relieved.
Lin Erwu closed his eyes to calm himself down. Heaven knows how anxious he had been on his way here, afraid of being a step too late.
Fortunately, Huang Dajin wasn't completely devoid of humanity.
"Brother, I never expected our reunion to turn out like this," Lin Erwu said calmly as he sat down next to Lin Zhaoyue. "It's been a long time since we brothers last met!"
"Hmm." Huang Dajin nodded slightly. "It's been a long time since we last saw each other after my sister passed away, more than twenty years, hasn't it?"
"I've got it." Lin Erwu thought for a moment. His daughter was so grown up, and they hadn't seen each other for over twenty years. Then he changed the subject, "If you have any problems, you can come to me directly. There's no need to argue with a child like that. Besides, my daughter is pregnant. We don't want anything to happen to the mother or the child, right?"
“I know,” Huang Dajin said, his long legs slightly crossed, his voice devoid of any emotion. “Isn’t everything alright? I didn’t intend to do anything to your daughter, I just invited her over to have a chat.”
"Is this how you hire people?" This isn't hiring people; it's clearly forcing them to come.
Lin Erwu smiled disdainfully, "Both elders know the rules, but my elder brother hasn't learned even a single bit of them."
"You're not qualified to lecture me here. My family has never acknowledged you as our son-in-law from the beginning," Huang Dajin said impatiently.
“Yes, your family has never acknowledged me, but your parents did acknowledge Zhaoyue when they were alive.” Lin Erwu paused for a moment after saying this. “Otherwise, they wouldn’t have divided their assets in advance. Zhaoyue is their granddaughter and also my daughter. Whether they acknowledge me or not is no longer important. You brought my daughter here, so I have to stand up for her!”
Huang Dajin remained silent for a while before finally saying, "Alright, since you all know what happened, there's no need for us to waste time here. I didn't do anything to Zhaoyue, so you can all go back!"
"You make it sound so easy. Everyone knows you kidnapped my daughter and brought her here. You think you can just take her and make us leave whenever you want? What do you take me for!"
Lin Erwu's tone suddenly rose, "Huang Dajin, if we don't clear things up today, I'm not done with you! If you dare to covet my daughter, I'll make you regret it."
Lin Zhaoyue reached out and grabbed Lin Erwu's arm at the right moment. Her tone was no longer as tense as before. She frowned and said, "Dad, Grandpa and Grandma's deaths were not an accident. Huang Dajin did it."
Yu Shuangjiang chuckled, "It really is true that pregnancy makes you stupid for three years. Zhaoyue, are you having some kind of dream here? You're talking nonsense."
Lin Erwu and Jiang Jingzhou knew that Zhao Yue wouldn't talk nonsense; she must have heard them say that.
Lin Erwu's face darkened. "You don't need to deny it here. I also think that you can't escape responsibility for this matter. Since we've already fallen out, I'll make it clear to you that Zhaoyue intends to investigate this matter thoroughly. I don't believe you can really do it so cleanly!"
Yu Shuangjiang's smile faded; Lin Erwu and his daughter were really troublesome!
Just like a dog seeing meat, it can't be shaken off no matter how hard it tries.
"Lin Erwu, investigate however you want. If you can find any evidence, I'll admit my guilt! If you can't find any evidence, I'll sue you for defamation."
Huang Dajin felt that Lin Erwu was making a mountain out of a molehill. That night was just an accident, and he didn't want to see an accident happen.
On the other hand, the two elderly people were already so old, so it's fine if they die, especially since they died without any pain. Isn't that a good thing?
Does that mean it's a good thing to die a humiliating death while bedridden as you get older?
