Lin Qinghuan walked into the living room. Her mother was sitting on the sofa with a resentful look on her face, while her father had his head hanging down, clearly in a bad mood.
When Grandpa Lin saw Lin Qinghuan return, his stern face softened. Just as he was about to speak, Lin's mother spoke first.
"Qinghuan is back. What did the Wei family say? Did they agree to help find Piaoxue?" Lin's mother asked impatiently.
Lin Qinghuan said calmly, "I explained Lin Piaoxue's situation, and Grandma Wei has already called to ask people to help find Lin Piaoxue."
"As for whether we can find Lin Piaoxue, we can only do our best and leave the rest to fate."
Hearing Lin Qinghuan's words, Lin's mother and father felt their heavy hearts ease slightly.
"With the Wei family willing to help, the chances of finding Piaoxue have greatly increased," Grandpa Lin said.
Lin Qinghuan said, "Lin Piaoxue is the apple of my parents' eye. After she disappeared, my parents were filled with anxiety and had to find her, otherwise they would go crazy."
A complex expression appeared on Lin's mother's face, and her gaze towards Lin Qinghuan carried a hint of embarrassment.
They do indeed favor Lin Piaoxue, and their devotion to Lin Qinghuan is evident to all. However, after so many years of favoritism towards Lin Piaoxue, they have become accustomed to protecting and supporting her. Even if Lin Piaoxue does something wrong, they will subconsciously find many reasons to forgive her.
"Qinghuan, in my heart, you and your older brother are the people I care about the most," said Lin's father.
Parents love their children, but just as fingers are not all the same length, it is impossible to treat them all equally.
Lin Qinghuan asked, "Dad, you've said so many things that even you believe them yourself. Ask yourself honestly, do you really love us? Do you really treat us all the same?"
"Lin Piaoxue is your most beloved daughter. No matter how much we sacrifice, it all comes second to Lin Piaoxue."
“Qinghuan, fingers are not all the same length. No parent can treat all children equally. They will always unconsciously overlook the feelings of other children. But all parents love their own children, and all children are the apple of their parents’ eyes,” Lin’s father argued.
Lin Qinghuan smiled sadly, "Father, you said those words because you already knew you were biased and couldn't treat everyone equally. Do you know what that's called?"
"That's called self-deception."
After finishing her sentence, Lin Qinghuan ignored her father and went straight upstairs.
Sometimes, not caring, not asking, not overthinking, and not being bothered can actually make things much easier.
Blood ties! The more you care, the more your sincerity will be trampled on. If you don't care, your heart won't hurt.
If you don't care, then you have nothing to fear!
After Lin Qinghuan figured it out, she felt a sense of relief and her steps became much lighter.
With a complicated expression and looking exhausted, Grandpa Lin said to Mr. and Mrs. Lin, "You must be tired too, go and get some rest!"
He doesn't want to see Lin's father and mother right now; it's upsetting!
Lin's mother mustered her courage and voiced her dissatisfaction, "Dad, I know you also think we are biased, but you yourself are biased towards Qinghuan. You gave her a big house, opened a big supermarket for her, sent her to school, and protected her in everything. You and we are no different, just with different people in the same boat."
When Lin's father saw Lin's mother accusing Lin's grandfather, he was suddenly startled and immediately scolded, "Shut up! If you keep babbling, get out of here right now and sleep on the street!"
Lin's mother was scolded by Lin's father, and when she saw Lin's grandfather's ashen face, she was shocked. Oh no! Lin's grandfather is angry!
He immediately wilted, lowered his head, and didn't dare to breathe.
But she still believed she was right.
Girls all get married eventually, and every family leaves their property to their children and grandchildren. Only Grandpa Lin is senile and gave all the good things to Qinghuan. In the future, all these good things will be renamed and become the Wei family's property.
Lin's father looked at Lin's grandfather with a shameless expression. "Dad, a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl. After a girl marries, she becomes someone else's daughter-in-law, and the children she gives birth to will take someone else's surname and become outsiders. Only sons can carry on the family line and continue the ancestral rites. Only by passing the family property to sons can the family prosper."
“These are all things passed down from the older generation. These ideas are deeply ingrained, and my wife won’t change them in a short time. Please don’t take it to heart.”
Grandpa Lin gave Lin's father and mother a cold look and said, "The house we live in now is in a high-end community. There are security guards at the entrance, and ordinary people can't just come and go as they please. There is a garden in the community, which needs to be maintained by people. All of these costs are borne by the residents of the community. There are also water and electricity bills. All of these require an expense. Do your three sons and your precious Piaoxue have the ability to come up with this expense?"
Lin's father and mother were speechless.
Grandpa Lin continued, "Qinghuan designs clothes for Aunt Wei and earns a considerable income every month. She is able to open a clothing store because Wei Xiao bought the storefront for her, and the clothes are sourced from Aunt Wei's clothing factory."
"Qinghuan was able to open a supermarket without me contributing a single penny; I only had my renovation team help with the renovations. Her ability to attend school was also thanks to the connections the Wei family had; that's how she easily got into university."
"Qinghuan's great success today is due to the support of the Wei family and her own outstanding abilities."
"Your three sons and Piaoxue are not as good as Qinghuan."
Grandpa Lin sighed as he said this, "Even if I wanted to hand over the business to Lin Qing and the others, they wouldn't be able to handle it!"
