Reborn as Tycoon's Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 297 - 293 Hurry Up and Leave (First Update)

Speaking of Luo Yuzhu, Grandmother Lin naturally had something to say, "Who knows where your mom has gone. She’s nowhere to be seen all day long, and who knows what she’s up to."

"Mom, I’m sure my mom has something to do." Lin Yue could tell from her grandmother’s tone that she was somewhat displeased.

Her mom, who worked herself to the bone for this family, had never been looked up to in Grandma’s eyes; she still thought the former daughter-in-law was better.

No matter how good the former daughter-in-law was, she was a short-lived spirit, having enjoyed only brief happiness in the Lin Family before passing away.

"Last night, I think I heard your mom go out." Grandmother Lin always felt like someone had left the house in the middle of the night the day before yesterday, "Was it your mom who went out?"

Going out in the dead of night, she better not be doing something to betray Jianguo, otherwise, she would directly kick Luo Yuzhu out of the house.

"Grandma, what are you thinking about? No one went out from our house last night, besides, what would my mom do going out in the middle of the night?" Lin Yue watched as the aunt laid out the dishes on the table, stood up, "I’m going to call dad down to eat."

"You saw he didn’t look good, maybe he’s run into some problem at work." Grandmother Lin sighed, "We still don’t know what’s going on with the Wu Family; I just hope your dad doesn’t have any troubles."

Lin Yue went upstairs and knocked on the study on the second floor, "Dad, dinner’s ready, come down and eat."

Lin Jianguo was sitting motionless in the wooden chair in front of the desk, his eyes blankly staring at a set of car keys on the desk.

"Dad, did you hear me?" Lin Yue did not receive a response from inside, so she knocked on the door again.

Lin Jianguo’s Divine Sense was pulled back to reality, and he answered impatiently, "You guys eat, I don’t want to. Don’t come looking for me again, I need to deal with something in the study."

Lin Yue felt aggrieved after hearing Lin Jianguo’s words.

She had kindly called her dad to come down to eat, but her dad was so impatient with her. Lin Yue knew that in both her grandmother’s and father’s hearts, she was never as good as Sister Lin Jing.

She was his daughter, his own flesh and blood, how could her father be so blatantly biased.

She returned to the dining table with spirits low.

"What’s wrong with your dad? Why isn’t he coming down to eat?" Grandmother Lin, seeing her son hadn’t come down, questioned Lin Yue.

Lin Yue, having been scolded by Lin Jianguo and not in the best mood, now faced Grandmother Lin’s unpleasant tone as well, responded with equal irritation, "How would I know what’s going on with the adults? I don’t want to eat anymore, I’m going back to my room."

"You stop right there," Grandmother Lin, hearing her response, became so agitated that her chest heaved, "Lin Yue, what kind of attitude is that? Are you trying to start a revolt or something?"

"Grandma, I’m not trying to revolt, I’m just clear about where I stand. No matter how hard I try to please you and dad, you only have eyes for Jing in your hearts." Lin Yue naturally didn’t have great restraint, especially in temperament—she often said whatever came to mind.

"Lin Yue, what are you talking about? As if we’ve ever shorted you food or drink. Your dad doesn’t love you, is that why he has beaten or scolded you? You ungrateful wretch, I think perhaps you want to be like Su Xiaofeng, that ungrateful wretch, and cut ties with our Lin Family," Grandmother Lin said, fuming at Lin Yue’s words.

Luo Yuzhu couldn’t have sons and yet had the nerve to nest in the Lin Family home, Grandmother Lin letting her stay was already a sign of great tolerance and magnanimity on her part.

Now, to make matters worse, Lin Yue even wanted to compete with Lin Jing for affection. Since Lin Jing was the Lin Family’s eldest granddaughter and raised by her personally, Grandmother Lin would certainly favor her a little more.

"I’m not Su Xiaofeng, and I will never be her." Mentioning Su Xiaofeng filled Lin Yue with nothing but hatred; what made her think she could compare to Su Xiaofeng?

The telephone rang, and Lin Yue, somewhat hysterical, answered it reflexively, "Hello."

One second Lin Yue was so upset her chest heaved, and the next, she was dumbfounded, holding the receiver for a long time unable to snap back to reality.

"Was that your mom’s call? What did she say? Is she not coming home for dinner? Luo Yuzhu too, not coming home for dinner, nor calling earlier to let us know. Now at this hour saying she’s not coming home, it might as well she didn’t call at all," Grandmother Lin, already irate, definitely did not mince her words.

Lin Yue listened to Grandma Lin’s words, unsure of how to refute them. Having grown up so smoothly over the past decade, she was at a loss on what to do next, almost crying as she said, "Grandma, the call just now was from the police. They said Mom instructed someone to kidnap a cognitively impaired adult and asked Dad to come over."

Grandma Lin was about to drink some soup, but upon hearing Lin Yue’s words, the bowl in her hand tumbled down onto the table, "Who did your mother kidnap?"

Lin Yue burst into tears, "I think it must be the silly brother from the Su Xiaofeng family. Grandma, of all people to kidnap, why kidnap an idiot?"

Grandma Lin immediately stood up angrily, "This Luo Yuzhu, she couldn’t have a son herself, so she’s taking it out on someone else’s son. I have to tell Jianguo about this. If she’s done something this horrible, he must divorce her. If Jianguo doesn’t divorce her, he will surely be implicated."

Divorce, they must divorce. It’s too shameful.

"Grandma, we can’t divorce," Lin Yue stood up and clutched Grandma Lin’s body, "Mom, with Mom in this situation, Dad can’t just ignore her. If Dad ignores her, Mom will be finished. Grandma, please, I apologize, I misspoke earlier, I’m begging you, don’t abandon Mom."

At these words, Grandma Lin laughed. She looked at Lin Yue with a smile, "Silly girl, we’re only suggesting that your dad divorces your mom, not that we’re abandoning you. You are the blood of the Lin Family, of course, we will take care of you. Rest assured, as long as your dad is fine, you’ll be fine. If anything happens to your dad, our family would truly be finished. As for your mom, since she’s committed such a grave offense, our family certainly can’t bail her out."

"Grandma, Mom has been part of the Lin Family for many years. Even if she has no merits, she has put in the hard work; you can’t treat her like this," Lin Yue still felt that it was unfair to her mom.

"You’re still a student and don’t understand the relationships of power among adults. This is something your dad and I will discuss." Grandma Lin patted Lin Yue’s hand to comfort her, "Yueyue, you’re not young anymore. You need to understand that only if your future is secure can you then protect your mom. Your mom understands this, and she will surely choose to protect you."

As long as Jianguo is fine, Lin Yue remains the second miss in the Lin Family, able to attend school carefree, buy clothes, and handbags, and later marry into a good family.

Thinking about her own future, Lin Yue let go of Grandma Lin’s hand, released her grip, and quietly stood to the side without speaking.

Grandma Lin was right. Mom would definitely do the same, sparing no effort to protect her status in the Lin Family.

Grandma Lin watched Lin Yue’s reaction and, with a smile, went upstairs.

Children are just children, simple-minded, not understanding the complexities of adult relationships.

"Jianguo," Grandma Lin knocked on Lin Jianguo’s door, "Jianguo, open up, there’s been a serious situation. Your mother has something to discuss with you."

Lin Jianguo opened the door, looking much more natural than when he had just arrived home, "Mom, what’s the matter?"

"Jianguo, you’ve been too tired lately. Look at your complexion, it’s breaking your mother’s heart. Although work is important, you also need to take care of your health." Jianguo was exhausted in both body and soul, working hard for the family, while Luo Yuzhu, on the other hand, seemed to be causing trouble all the time.

"Mom, what exactly is the matter?" Lin Jianguo pressed his temples.

"It’s your wife, of course. Always causing trouble outside. You said she cut all ties with Su Xiaofeng, so what’s she doing with that idiot, Su Xiaofeng’s elder brother?"

Lin Jianguo’s heart skipped a beat, his heart almost leaping out, but his many years of composure did not show, "What happened to Yuzhu?"

"The police called just now, saying she’s suspected of instigating the kidnapping of Su Xiaofeng’s idiot brother. They’re not clear on the details but asked you to come by. Jianguo, Luo Yuzhu has no competence. She’s been unable to give the Lin Family a son all this time, and now she’s caused such a major problem. In your mother’s opinion, you might as well divorce her."

Take the opportunity while Jianguo is still in his prime to remarry a younger wife, who might even bear him a grandson by next spring.

Thinking this, Grandma Lin wished she could divorce Luo Yuzhu right this moment and immediately find a new wife for Jianguo.

"Kidnapping?" Lin Jianguo was stunned, thinking about the task he had entrusted to Luo Yuzhu. He had a rough idea of what had happened, "Is she a child or what, to commit such an act of kidnapping."

"Exactly, doesn’t think at all," Grandma Lin agreed, after many years with the Lin Family, Yuzhu was still not streetwise, "You should divorce her as soon as possible, to save yourself from being dragged down by her."

"Mom, the Wu Family’s business is at a critical juncture right now. If news of my divorce from Luo Yuzhu were to break at this moment, it would be extremely detrimental to me." Lin Jianguo was also at his wits’ end; his hand of cards was good, but somehow it had ended up in a mess.
