Whispers to the Soul: Surrendering to Love Snare-Chapter 760 - 779: Xi Xilan Approaches the Lin Family
The couple reconciled, naturally, Lin Mubai took his wife back to the Lin Family Mansion. If nothing unexpected happened, those few people in the family should have returned from vacation by now. As time passed, any anger Lin Mubai had in his heart had dissipated.
However, just as he walked in with his wife through the doorway, the familiar voice coming from the living room made the couple exchange a quick glance, and their good mood disappeared immediately.
"How did they come?"
In the questioning gaze of his wife, Lin Mubai shrugged helplessly, "How would I know?"
At that moment, the couple both had the urge to turn around and leave, but the oblivious Aunt was already happily yelling inside the door, "Old Master, Old Madam, Young Master and his wife are back."
Lin Haotian was still bothered a moment ago by this mother and daughter’s tears, but the next moment, he was excitedly standing up from the chair, "Quick, let that bastard boy come in here."
An Yuya was still quietly sobbing a moment ago, but the next moment, hearing Old Master’s words, she instantly lifted her head full of expectation, looking towards the door. Her makeup, smudged by tears, formed streaks that were as funny as they were ridiculous, yet she was completely unaware, smiling and full of expectation as she gazed at the man who slowly stepped in.
As Lin Mubai walked in, it was as if he hadn’t seen An Yuya and Xi Xilan at all. His sharp gaze landed right on his grandfather’s face, a slight curve in his mouth, "Grandpa, long time no see." Lin Mubai’s words carried a hint of suggestion.
How could someone as clever as Lin Haotian not catch the implied meaning in his grandson’s words? He chuckled awkwardly, directly ignoring the hint, and said, "Mu Bai, where are your manners? Didn’t you see your Aunt Xinlan?"
Only then did Lin Mubai casually turn his gaze to Xi Xilan and her daughter, calling out indifferently, "Aunt Xinlan, we meet again."
Xi Xilan was exceptionally angry at his nonchalant attitude, but she could do nothing about it. After all, this was the Lin Family, which was Lin Mubai’s territory. However, that didn’t mean Xi Xilan was afraid of him. A disdainful smile flitted across her lips, and she replied coldly, "Old Master, you must be joking. I don’t dare accept such a greeting from Young Master Lin as ’Aunt Xinlan’." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Since entering, this mother and daughter hadn’t seen Lin Mubai and An Nan, and they had been stalling all along, looking around without saying anything of importance. Now that the people were back, Xi Xilan felt she could speak frankly. A cold smile flashed across her lips, and she said coldly, "Old Master, I didn’t come today to cause trouble. It’s just that there are things I’ve bottled up that make me quite frustrated. At home, I kept thinking and couldn’t help but feel I need to say this."
Someone as smart as the Old Master wouldn’t miss that the earlier words were just a prelude and that the main point was yet to come. His good upbringing kept a smile on his lips, although inside he was already very impatient. Perhaps he wouldn’t behave this way towards others, but since learning how this woman treated his granddaughter-in-law, his good manners had long faded, leaving only a thread of impatience: "Miss Xi, feel free to say whatever you have to say." No matter what she said, he intended to simply ignore it as if he hadn’t heard.
