Lin's mother turned her gaze away from Lin Qinghuan's face and looked at Lin's grandfather with a hint of fear. She said nervously, "Father, Piaoxue made a mistake because she was confused for a moment. We should give her a chance to correct it. The Lin family cannot have a convict. It will ruin the Lin family's reputation and prevent Lin Qing and the others from finding wives."
Grandpa Lin listened to Mrs. Lin's high-sounding reasons with disdain on his face.
“I, Lin Zhenghao, have no shame before the ancestors of the Lin family, and I don’t care about those false reputations. You don’t need to make excuses for Lin Piaoxue to escape punishment.”
Lin's mother felt embarrassed when Lin's grandfather exposed her secret thoughts.
Liu Wei saw Lin Qinghuan's eyelids twitch and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Lin's father looked at Lin Piaoxue standing at the door of the ward, pushed her into the ward, and pulled her to Lin Qinghuan's bedside. Looking at the injuries on Lin Qinghuan's face, his heart ached.
"Lin Piaoxue, how dare you? How could you do this? She's not your enemy, she's your own sister."
Lin Piaoxue recalled the events of the past few months that had turned her life upside down. Looking at Lin Qinghuan lying on the hospital bed, her face was filled with resentment. Losing her temper, she blurted out, "Lin Qinghuan should have died nine years ago. She shouldn't have come back. If she hadn't come back, everything would have been fine."
Lin's mother and father looked at Lin Piaoxue simultaneously, their faces showing shock, mixed with a hint of horror.
Enraged, Lin's father slapped Lin Piaoxue across the face and cursed, "You worthless thing!"
Worried that Mr. Lin and his family would disturb the other patients, the doctor and nurse gave the nurse a look, and the nurse, understanding the situation, kindly closed the ward door.
Lin Qinghuan slowly opened her eyes, sat up, and looked at Lin Piaoxue expressionlessly. "I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm back."
"You stole nine years of my luck, aren't you very proud?" Lin Qinghuan said with a meaningful smile, his eyes fixed on Lin Piaoxue. He pointed at Lin Piaoxue and said, "My luck, Lin Qinghuan's luck, is not so easy to steal. You will become more and more unlucky, and you will pay the price for your greed and ambition."
"Lin Piaoxue, I'm so glad to see you abandoned by everyone and destitute. I hope you won't keep me waiting too long!"
Long Lin's father and mother were stunned by Lin Qinghuan's confident and flamboyant demeanor.
Looking at Lin Qinghuan's cold and indifferent tone, Lin Piaoxue involuntarily took two steps back. She knew in her heart that she couldn't win against Lin Qinghuan.
A ruthless glint flashed in Grandpa Lin's eyes. Lin Piaoxue was so young yet so cruel, and she didn't take his warnings seriously. She had already crossed his bottom line.
He looked at Liu Wei and said, "These are all family disputes. Let's handle them privately and leave it at that!"
Liu Wei looked at Lin Qinghuan. Lin Qinghuan was the victim, and she was the one who had the final say.
Lin Qinghuan looked at Liu Wei and the others with a face full of apology, "I will listen to my grandfather. I am really sorry to trouble you to make this trip."
"Lin Fu, help me see these policemen off," Grandpa Lin instructed Lin Fu.
Lin Fu walked over to Liu Wei and said with a smile, "Officer, our boss has some family matters to attend to, please see you off on his behalf."
Liu Wei glanced at Lin Qinghuan and frowned. What did Lin Qinghuan mean by "luck"? It sounded very mysterious.
Grandpa Lin walked up to Lin Piaoxue and said sternly, "I warned you, why did you ignore my words?"
Lin's father and mother knew Lin's grandfather's temper; he hated people who wouldn't listen to advice. They looked at Lin's grandfather nervously, worried that he would severely punish Lin Piaoxue.
Grandpa Lin grabbed Lin Piaoxue's wrist, a cold, piercing smile on his face. Lin Piaoxue struggled desperately in fear, trying to break free from Grandpa Lin's grasp.
Grandpa Lin smirked, then forcefully twisted the door open. With a snap, Lin Piaoxue screamed in agony. Liu Wei, who had just stepped out of the ward, stopped in his tracks upon hearing Lin Piaoxue's painful cry and turned to look at the tightly closed door.
The other police officers also looked at Liu Wei.
Lin Fu said calmly, "It's nothing serious for elders to give their juniors a few stern lectures because they're worried about them going astray. There's no need for you police officers to make a fuss. I'll see you off here. Take care."
Lin Fu was terrified of dealing with the police, so he slipped into the ward after saying that.
"Captain, Lin Piaoxue seems to have been beaten badly," the policewoman said.
"The police are supposed to uphold justice, but they can't arbitrarily interfere in other people's family matters unless the parties involved file a police report," Liu Wei said.
...
Lin Qinghuan looked at Lin Piaoxue, who was slumped on the ground, clutching her wrist and groaning in pain. Her face was filled with astonishment. She never expected that Grandpa Lin would break Lin Piaoxue's hand.
Both Grandpa Lin and his mother were shocked and stunned by Grandpa Lin's methods, and it took them a long time to react.
Lin's mother rushed to Lin Piaoxue's side and asked in a panic, "Piaoxue, how is your hand? Is it badly injured?"
Lin Piaoxue cried and said, "Mom, my hand hurts so much."
Lin's mother said with tears in her eyes, "Piaoxue, bear with it. Mom will help you go to the doctor right now and have them take a look at your hand."
Seeing that Grandpa Lin's face was grim, Lin's father pulled Lin's mother away from Lin Piaoxue, saying, "I'm disciplining Piaoxue. You'd better not interfere, unless you want Lin Piaoxue to go to jail."
Lin's mother immediately fell silent, not daring to take a step forward or say a word in Lin Piaoxue's defense.
"Lin Piaoxue, does it hurt?" Grandpa Lin squatted down and asked Lin Piaoxue.
Lin Piaoxue looked at Grandpa Lin in horror, as if he were the most terrifying creature in the world.
"It's good that you feel pain. Don't take my words lightly. This is just a small punishment to warn you. If there's a next time, you won't be able to keep this hand."
