Jiang Zhenlin was stunned after he finished speaking. His first reaction was not that he had hurt his sister by speaking too harshly, but that he looked at Lin Qingwan with a guilty conscience and a little expectation.
I hope to see relief on her face, and surprise and gratitude towards him.
But in reality, Lin Qingwan's pupils did dilate slightly, and then that was it.
A beautiful face is as calm as still water; even if you throw a stone in, it won't cause a ripple.
Jiang Zhenlin had a fiery temper and would use anger to cover up any dissatisfaction. But at this moment, he lowered his eyelashes sadly, frowned, and remained silent.
Jiang Yanwan was on the verge of collapse; it felt as if Jiang Zhenlin's words were knives that could kill her with pain.
"It's my fault, it's all my fault."
"I'm sorry, Qingwan."
"Mother, let me die!"
She kept saying she wanted to die, but when Lin rushed over, she buried herself in her mother's arms, crying and trembling all over.
Lin was in a state of confusion, glaring angrily at Jiang Zhenlin, "What nonsense are you spouting!"
Even though his older sister was crying so painfully, he should have protected her, stood up for her, and made her happy. But suddenly he felt disgusted by those things.
In the past, whenever his elder sister shed a tear, he would relentlessly torment Lin Qingwan, and if it was a servant, he would beat them to death.
I didn't think much of it at the time, but now, looking back, a chill runs down my spine.
Jiang Zhenlin's face turned ashen. "I'm not making this up. It's all fabricated. My sister has been crying here all morning, and now she's talking about dying. What does she want?"
"Should we ask Lin Qingwan to return her status as the eldest daughter of the Jiang family?"
Jiang Zhenlin felt a sudden, profound clarity, as if struck by lightning. He inadvertently revealed what Jiang Yanwan truly wanted to say, which startled her so much that she stopped crying.
"Ah Lin, I didn't mean that, I..."
Jiang Yanwan wanted to explain but felt that anything she said would be wrong. She gripped her mother's sleeve tightly, biting her lip until it bled.
Lin finally got a headache and habitually glared at Lin Qingwan.
Lin Qingwan raised her eyelids. "I didn't say that."
The Lin family's blockade.
Jiang Yanwan's tears soaked her chest, and Lin's heart felt like it had stopped breathing. Her forehead throbbed even more, and she finally blamed Lin Qingwan, "If you had just said one word to let her stay and treat her well, things wouldn't have dragged on for so long."
It's been a whole morning! Jiang Yanwan hasn't calmed him down, and even Ah Lin is acting up.
“Mother, I’ve made myself clear enough. This has nothing to do with her; it’s my elder sister…”
Jiang Zhenlin couldn't understand it. He had already figured everything out, so why was his mother still making things difficult for Lin Qingwan?
"Shut up! What business is it of yours?" Lin scolded.
Jiang Zhenlin raised his head, took a breath, and clenched his fists. "There's nothing to do with Lin Qingwan!"
"Sister, I will go to Jingbei Army sooner or later. I will give you the position of young master of the Jiang family. You can stay in the Prime Minister's residence with peace of mind. Is that enough?"
Mrs. Lin froze, looking at her son in surprise, as if wondering what crazy thing he had done this time.
Jiang Yanwan's hands and feet were ice-cold; she didn't dare look at Jiang Zhenlin. What did Jiang Shao's position mean? She was far too unworthy to hold that title!
These words were clearly meant to mock and humiliate her.
“Mother, Ah Lin also hates me! Please let go. I can only repay your kindness in the next life.”
Jiang Zhenlin was dumbfounded. When did he say he hated her? When did he force her to die?
In an instant, he understood Lin Qingwan's feelings.
Yet Lin Qingwan remained so calm... His blood seemed to freeze, and he thought of a possibility he dared not even consider.
Lin Qingwan was used to it, or perhaps she had long been disappointed and desperate!
Jiang Zhenlin was a little unsteady on his feet. Indeed, he had seen the hatred and mockery in Lin Qingwan's eyes countless times!
"Don't talk nonsense." Lin was afraid that she might really do something rash, so she hugged her tightly. "That's just his bad temper, you know that."
Then he glared at Jiang Zhenlin and said, "Get out."
Jiang Zhenlin's pent-up anger suddenly flared up.
Just as she was about to get angry, Lin Qingwan, who had been watching the show for a while, lazily spoke up, "Jiang Yanwan, if you really want to leave, you should leave secretly, instead of solemnly telling your mother, especially when your father isn't home."
"Knowing that your mother loves you the most, you still insist on putting on this show in front of her."
"It was Father's idea to reveal our identities. What do you want Mother to do?" Lin Qingwan's voice was clear and her logic was so sharp that Jiang Yanwan dared not listen any further.
"No, I didn't! I just couldn't bear to leave my mother and didn't want to make things difficult for her," she cried.
Lin Qingwan sneered, "You're just afraid that Mother won't have another headache."
"Father just said that the Prime Minister's Mansion is deeply indebted to you, and now you're leaving. I don't understand. Is this how you repay the Prime Minister's Mansion for raising you?"
"Crying and sobbing so early in the morning, making things up out of nothing, what bad luck."
Lin Qingwan stood up and gave her a cold look. "Your stay or leave is none of my business. If you insist on leaving today, I can give you some travel expenses."
After saying that, she resolutely walked out of the main room.
Not to mention the Lin family, even Jiang Zhenlin didn't react in time.
This was Jiang Yanwan's first failure, something beyond her control. Her mind went blank, and she dared not loosen her grip on Lin's clothes.
Jiang Zhenlin didn't say anything and walked out as well.
Lin suddenly felt extremely tired. "Yanwan, we've been mother and daughter for fifteen years. How much do you not trust me that you insist on leaving?"
Jiang Yanwan choked up, "Mother..."
Lin knew that today's events had nothing to do with Lin Qingwan, and she also knew Yanwan's thoughts. But at its core, she was afraid of losing her parents and younger brother, so a little commotion was not unreasonable.
The Lin family also hoped that Lin Qingwan would relent, so that everyone would be better off.
But it turned out she was wrong.
Even though Lian Alin understood, she still resolutely protected Jiang Yanwan.
She had raised him herself, and she couldn't bear to part with him, nor could she betray Cheng Min's sacrifices back then.
She really had a headache.
For the first time, Jiang Yanwan's hand was pushed away by her. "Yanwan, if you're tired, go back and rest. I won't stop you from doing whatever you want, and I can't stop you anyway."
Rong Ma immediately came over to help Lin Shi up, "Madam."
Lin gripped Rong Ma tightly and said weakly, "My head hurts."
Rong Ma felt a pang of sorrow. "Summon the royal physician!"
In the end, only Jiang Yanwan, her face filled with disbelief, remained in the main room; she had been abandoned.
Ah Lin helped Lin Qingwan, and her mother stopped caring about her.
What will the servants think of her?
afternoon.
Lin Qingwan went out to meet Manager Tao, intending to discuss taking over the drug production line in detail. With the death of the family physician and his son, and the others knowing nothing, she was at a loss as to how to establish relationships with the various families or where to begin.
Where are you going?
Jiang Zhenlin had followed her without her noticing, and when he saw her about to leave, he looked on warily.
Lin Qingwan pretended not to hear and didn't stop walking.
Jiang Zhenlin's face turned cold, and he strode forward to block the doorway. "You want to see that Ruan guy again?"
"Don't think I don't know that he made you go with him on the street yesterday."
"If you dare see him again, I'll break his legs!"
