Defrosting The Cold Young Master-Chapter 2118 - 2122: Unfilial and Defiant? Scandalous and Disgraceful?

Lin Yumeng has been missing for eight years since she left home, presumed dead or alive.

She and her husband discussed letting her son work in Second Brother’s company.

After a few years, once her son got the hang of the job, he would take over Second Brother’s company.

A few days ago, she and her husband mentioned this to her parents-in-law.

Her parents-in-law valued her husband, doted on Third Brother, and spoiled her son and Third Brother’s son, but they looked down on Second Brother.

As soon as she mentioned it to her parents-in-law, they immediately agreed.

Seeing her parents-in-law agree so readily, she felt at ease.

Second Brother was filial and would listen to her parents-in-law’s every word.

Moreover, Second Brother and his wife’s only daughter had disappeared, leaving them without descendants. Naturally, the company of the Second Brother should be inherited by her son.

This was reasonable and rightful.

But now, Second Brother’s daughter suddenly returned!

She felt particularly uneasy and intensely despised Ho Yumeng.

She’s been gone for eight years!

She didn’t come back for so long—why now?

If she were never to return, or at least return a few years later, after her son had already inherited Second Brother’s company, that would be fine.

Why did she choose to come back now!

Hearing Senior Master Lin scold Lin Fan, she feigned a filial demeanor, smiling insincerely and said, "Second Brother, hurry up and admit your mistake. Mom and Dad aren’t in good health; don’t upset them. If anything happens to the elders, won’t it be you who regrets it and feels pained?"

Lin Fan looked at them with a face full of agony, pale and with trembling lips.

If it were before, he would certainly have knelt down.

But today, it was the joyful day of his daughter’s return home.

If he knelt down, would his daughter have to kneel as well?

He looked at Senior Master Lin and said, in a trembling voice, "Dad, Mengmeng was only fifteen when she left. She was young and clueless then. Please forgive her, Dad and Mom."

Senior Master Lin ignored his words and furiously grabbed the porcelain cup from the table, hurling it to the ground: "Bastard, I told you to kneel, don’t you have ears?"

"Grandpa, we haven’t seen each other in eight years, yet your commanding presence hasn’t waned; you’re still as imposing as ever. But..." Ho Yumeng grabbed Lin Fan’s arm and pulled him behind her, standing in front of him, smiling faintly as she said, "You’re also just as biased!"

"Insolent brat!" Senior Master Lin roared with anger, cursing, "Do you have any right to speak here? Our Lin Family doesn’t have a rebellious, unfilial, and disgraceful granddaughter like you. Get out of here now!"

"Me? Rebellious and unfilial? Disgraceful?" Ho Yumeng raised her eyebrow and said, "Grandpa, please enlighten me, how am I rebellious and unfilial, or disgraceful?"

"You left a letter tarnishing my reputation and ran away from home; that’s rebellious and unfilial!" Senior Master Lin glared at her with fierce eyes and snapped, "You left home for eight years—who knows what kind of disreputable people you’ve been with outside? Who knows if you’re still chaste or if you’ve done anything unconscionable? All the Lin Family descendants are upright; there’s no place for someone like you who’s been away for eight years and whose reputation is already tainted! From now on, you’re expelled from the Lin Family; we have no granddaughter like you!"

Lin Fan’s face drastically changed, and he cried out, "Dad!"

"Shut your mouth!" Senior Master Lin roared, "When I say something, it’s final. If I say I don’t recognize her as my granddaughter, then I don’t. If you dare defy me, you’ll get out too!"
