Mrs. Xie's eyes almost rolled back.
Only by pinching my palms hard could I prevent myself from fainting.
She opened her mouth silently, but couldn't utter a word for a long time.
She couldn't believe those words came from her son's mouth.
Madam Xie stared blankly at Xie Muqing, her lips trembling, and asked incredulously in a sharp voice:
"Qing'er... what did you say... you want to sever your mother-son relationship?! What kind of bewitching potion did she give you?! To make you so heartless and crazy!"
Thinking about all the time he had spent with Lin Yan these past few days, a gentle and satisfied smile appeared on Xie Muqing's face.
"It's not that my wife has bewitched me, it's just that I have a conscience..."
Madam Xie could easily understand the implication in his words.
Her face turned deathly pale in an instant, and her mouth trembled involuntarily, but she couldn't utter a single word.
She could only watch helplessly as her son drifted further and further away from her.
Right now.
A torrent of regret kept surging into her heart, causing her immense pain...
Upon leaving the side room, Xie Muqing immediately sent someone to Yunding Temple to investigate a high-ranking monk named Chunfeng.
After giving his instructions, he returned to his bedroom, sat down on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), and looked at the person on the kang with a guilty expression.
He never expected this.
Lin Yan could escape the assassins sent by the capital every time, but he couldn't escape his closest relatives.
Perhaps the identity of Xie family's eldest son is really not suitable for him...
...
When Lin Yan opened her eyes, what came into view was not the familiar rooftop, but a bustling street with heavy traffic.
This is where she has lived for more than 20 years!
She actually came back!
But her happiness lasted only a few seconds before a wave of frustration washed over Lin Yan, and her mood plummeted.
Although she had only been in the book for half a year, she felt love like never before in that world.
Parents, younger sister and brother, maternal grandparents, uncles and aunts, Shangguan Yun, the sisters of Baihualou...
And her little husband...
However, Lin Yan's low mood didn't last long before she discovered a problem.
It seemed like no one on the street could see her!
This scene filled her with great confusion. Could it be that she had died again?!
Or is she actually dreaming?
With this question in mind, Lin Yan tentatively stood in front of the wall, and when she saw her body pass through the solid wall...
Her eyes suddenly widened!
It seems she died again.
Suddenly, Lin Yan was pulled by a mysterious force and taken to a hospital room.
When I saw the person in the hospital bed.
Lin Yan's pupils suddenly contracted!
Lying on the hospital bed was her body, but it was covered with medical instruments...
Just as she was racking her brains trying to figure it out, she suddenly heard footsteps outside the ward.
She was about to hide, but then she remembered that no one would see her, so she calmly stood still and waited quietly for the person outside the door.
Upon seeing who it was, Lin Yan's face showed a look of shock; it was actually her parents and younger brother.
At this moment, she was still daydreaming.
Perhaps they felt guilty towards her, and after almost losing her, they began to repent for their past neglect of her.
But clearly, she was overthinking it...
Because of Lin Yan's special position and the fact that she was injured on duty, she was assigned a single room with a sofa for a caregiver.
Upon entering the ward, Lin Zhiyuan lay down on the sofa, his pent-up emotions reaching their peak, his face full of impatience.
"Dad, Mom, why do we have to come see her every week?! We can't even sleep in on the weekend, and I'm going out to a bar tonight! Why isn't she dead yet? She clearly wasn't breathing that day..."
Lin's mother hurriedly closed the door before walking to his side and whispering words of advice:
“Son, are you stupid? If she dies, those people will only give us a small amount of compensation. But as long as she's still alive, not only will we not have to pay for her medical expenses, but she'll also give us a considerable amount of money every month. Although we're not poor, why shouldn't we accept the money they're giving us for free?”
Hearing her words, Lin Zhiyuan's expression softened slightly, but he still retained some of his temper.
"The thought of having to see her half-dead face every week just annoys me!"
Seeing the slightly tired look on her son's face, Lin's mother felt a pang of heartache and quickly sat down beside him, gently comforting him:
“My dear son, I’m sorry to trouble you. As her family, if we don’t visit, it will be easy for people to gossip. Besides, I’ve already inquired, and she holds a pretty high position in the military! Since you’re about to graduate, we can go to her colleagues and ask them to arrange a respectable and well-paying job for you.”
When Lin Yan's position was mentioned, Lin's father, who had been silent all along, couldn't help but start muttering:
"That brat is really good at keeping secrets. All these years, we had no idea she was doing so well in the military!"
"That little devil is cunning; she's been on guard against us for a while! I searched her entire apartment, but I couldn't find the property deed or any savings. I have no idea where she hid all that stuff!"
Speaking of this, Lin's mother was so angry that she wanted to pull out the tubes from Lin Yan's body without a second thought.
"I told you long ago, she's an ingrate. You raised her all these years, and she doesn't know how to repay kindness at all!"
Lin Zhiyuan was equally resentful.
Recently, he and some friends started playing with a new "thing," and even his high living expenses weren't enough for him to squander.
Unintentionally.
He learned that Lin Yan owned a well-located house, and began to set his sights on it.
In Lin Zhiyuan's heart.
Everything his sister owned had to be his.
Listening to the family of three's various accusations against her, Lin Yan felt as if her heart was being torn apart.
The excruciating pain made it impossible for her to breathe.
She thought she would have become numb by now, but hearing her parents' and brother's harsh words was still hard for her to bear.
The three of them stayed in the ward for two hours before leaving together.
Throughout the entire process, they didn't even glance at the person in the hospital bed.
Watching their decisive departure, Lin Yan desperately suppressed the sob rising in her throat and gave a bitter laugh.
When I bought the house in full.
To repay her grandfather for his medical skills and to cover her tuition and living expenses during her senior year of high school, she handed over the property certificate to him.
I originally thought...
Grandpa may have secretly given the property certificate to his younger brother long ago, but he didn't, and he kept it a secret.
Lin Yan was completely confused.
Grandpa has never liked her, but his current actions have left her completely bewildered...
