Whispers to the Soul: Surrendering to Love Snare-Chapter 763 - 782: Mr. Lin’s Protection of Tong

At this moment, Xi Xilan was like a solo performer, while the Lin Family spectators were merely onlookers. It’s always uninteresting for one person to perform alone. Gradually, Xi Xilan found herself unable to continue, and the suffocating frustration in her heart led her to place all the blame on An Yuya. One slap was not enough, so she continued with a second, then a third.

Finally, Mr. Lin could no longer tolerate it and sternly reprimanded, "Enough, stop hitting. If you want to discipline the child, please do it at home. This is the Lin Family."

Xi Xilan’s hand froze in midair, her eyes meeting Mr. Lin’s clearly angry face. Her heart was in turmoil, unable to understand how the situation had turned to this. The original plan was to make the Lin Family see the true nature of Lin Annan, but not only did it fail, it also angered Mr. Lin. Truly, a lose-lose situation.

Her heart was full of resentment, yet she maintained a faint smile on her face. However, her smile was much more rigid than before: "Mr. Lin, I’m really sorry for the spectacle today."

Lin Haotian waved dismissively: "It wasn’t exactly funny, rather, I’d like to ask Miss Xi to consider things carefully in the future. Nannan is now a wife of the Lin Family, which makes her a member of our family. We have a rough idea about her grievances with the An Family, and my old man will make it clear to you today: you and her father have long divorced, so technically, there is no relation. Since my granddaughter-in-law doesn’t want any further entanglements with the An Family, I’d ask you not to bother her again. If you’re dissatisfied, you can tell this to your father. If he has any complaints, let him come directly to me. I’d like to see what right a man who has ignored his only granddaughter has to tell me that Nannan should pay him any attention."

The old man cherished An Nan, so after learning about her childhood, he harbored pent-up anger. Today, he finally found an opportunity to vent it out and wouldn’t hold back, even if An Ruiyang were standing right in front of him.

Being reproached like this by an elder, Xi Xilan had no face to stay and soon left hurriedly with An Yuya in tow.

As they departed, a disdainful sneer came from Lan Yiqing: "Looks like shamelessness runs in the family."

Being a good man, Lin Ze gently soothed his wife: "Alright, don’t be angry. Getting angry will make you less beautiful." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Lan Yiqing’s cheeks flushed instantly, and she couldn’t even look at her father-in-law, mother-in-law, son, and daughter-in-law. What was with this man? Every time she accused him of not being able to say sweet words, he just said it was too cheesy. But ever since retiring from the company, it was as if he had soaked in a pot of honey, with sweet words ready on his lips, almost unbearable. Before, it was confined to their room, but now it’s aired publicly. Could this man be any more insufferable?

She glared at a certain man angrily, signaling for him to tone it down. Little did she know, he seemed completely oblivious to her hints, continuing with his sweet-talking offensive. However, this time, before Lin Ze could open his mouth, his wife had already covered his lips with her hand and hastily pulled him away. If she left this man here any longer, she might not be able to face people in the future, even if they are all familiar family members, she couldn’t stand it.
