CHAPTER 771
Hearing that familiar voice, Lin Qi wished for the ground to open up and swallow her instantly. Unfortunately for her, no matter how hard she pressed her feet against the ground, nothing of that sort happened.
Gulp!
She had barely gotten her heart to stop thudding loudly in her chest when she felt a particularly cold pair of eyes on her. It sent chills running down her spine.
And she knew whom they belonged to.
Growing up those eyes were what silenced her whenever she failed to do something right. And now they had come again when she had misbehaved.
Like a child scared of her mother’s lashing out, Lin Qi tried to take a turn when she heard her brother’s impatient voice.
“Make that turn now and quick, Qi.”
.....
Although he did not shout to the ears of others, if one paid closer attention to things, the anger, rage and pain could be felt in every note that came out of his mouth.
Like a scared cat, she turned abruptly and hung her head. It was impossible to stare at his face and gaze into those beady red eyes.
She had not seen him but she was sure they were red already. After all, he was her favourite brother.
“Brother Lin Zian,” Lin Qi mouthed.
“It is Patriarch Lin to you!” He thundered, causing her to shrink where she stood.
“No sister of mine can be this prude and stupid and wicked. You have a heart as black as coal. Damn it! What were you thinking hurting my child?!”
She dipped her head further. The embarrassment was beginning to dawn on her as her grip on her shirt tightened.
“And you!”
Immediately Liu Xuilan dove up from her seat, jolting over to Lin Qi’s side. “How dare you, a nobody married into my family, try to harm my favourite grandchild, huh?!”
“Brother-in-law, I am sorry.”
“Sorry!” Lin Zian attacked. He did not wish to give either of them any time to spree rubbish and more lies from their lips.
Enough was enough with the two of them.
“Ever since she came back into my life, your actions surrounding her have been nothing but trouble and you expect me to forgive all of that, huh?”
“No, I…”
Lin Zian shot her a warning glare, making her words hang in her throat as she sought help with Lin Qi when her eyes found the lady trembling where she stood.
“I wonder, just how many times until you stop. I wonder if you are this jealous of your grand-niece, how about your niece, my late daughter Sying? How am I sure you two do not have anything to do with her disappearance all for money.” 𝑓𝗿𝐞e𝑤𝚎𝗯n𝗼ν𝙚l. 𝑐𝒐𝓶
His voice broke as he accused them.
It may have been speculation and thought which was likely not to be true but he could not bear the fact that the only child he had was taken from him and he had been living with snakes all his life.
“Lin Zian,” Lin Qi called out and stretched forth her hand towards him.
“The audacity. Never mention my name in this life again.”
“Lin…” He glared at her and she swallowed hard.
“I am very disappointed in you. I gave you all you needed. Supported your business and helped you out whenever you needed it. As for you,” his sharp penetrating gaze fell on Lin Xuilan.
“I even gave your son an important spot in my company. What more did you want? You think everything is money?”
She snapped her head up as the look in her eyes suddenly became cold with a newfound boldness flooding her body.
“Money?” she scoffed and shook her head. When her eyes finally landed on him once more, a mischievous smirk appeared on her lips.
“So what if I did this for money, huh? Are you any better than I am? Does it make you any better? Do you know what true loyalty is?” Lin Xiulan accused Lin Zian to everyone’s shock.
“Xiulan,” Lin Zian’s shocked voice called out.
“My son, he has been there under you for all those years and you never named him your heir. Li Jing suddenly appears and she is the CEO of the business. What about us who have been loyal to you?”
Just listening to her justify her actions made Lin Zian boil.
“You should be thankful we only abducted her and not actually kill her and…”
Unable to take the vile word running out of her mouth like a tap, Lin Zian raised his hands, ready to impale her face with a hot slap when he stopped midway.
“Mr. Lin!” The Officer who had been watching the show called out to him at the same time too.
Keeping his hand several inches raised above her head, Lin Zian growled at the daring miscreant who thought he could speak to him anyhow and go scot-free.
“Do not for once think that you are worth anything before me. Because iof my younger brother, I shall forgive this. However, you two must pay for what you have done.”
“What are you going to do?” Lin Xuilan questioned. She twisted her lips, meeting his dark gaze with one of hers as she played the villainess’ role all too well.
“If you really want to know, I am sure your husband would be glad to fill you in.”
Immediately, all of her earlier front kept was distinguished without a trace as she heard what he said.
If there was anyone she was scared of in this life it was Liqin.
As cool and calm-looking as he was, he was a very strict disciplinarian.
“Fret not. He has known since. I believe he will soon be on his way to meet you. Then we can discuss what punishment is best for you two gold diggers.”
“Lin Zian, I am your sis…” His cold stare held her tongue in place and she stopped whatever she was about to do, including running towards him.
“From today, you, Lin Qi and Liu Xiulan are disowned from the Liu family. I do not have a useless sister like you neither did my brother marry a tramp.”
Lin Xiulan clenched her fists so tight by her side and bit her lip while hiding her reaction.
Not that he cared about that though, he was concerned about his family name and those worthy of bearing it.
“If this is how you got rid of my daughter, I need to be prepared and safe guard the other members of the family as its Patriarch. Officer, thank you for your time, I would leave them to you.”
