Whispers to the Soul: Surrendering to Love Snare-Chapter 764 - 783: Stance of the Lin Family
Lin Ze, as he was pulled away by his wife, quietly gave an ’OK’ gesture to his son. Lin Mubai instantly understood his meaning and gave him a grateful look.
It’s not that his mom is bad, it’s just that sometimes she’s overly protective. If she wasn’t pulled away tonight, she could probably go on for an hour, by which time, everyone would be stuck talking endlessly without reaching the point.
An Nan didn’t notice the little hand signal exchanged between father and son from beginning to end. After Xi Xilan and An Yuya left, An Nan kept her head down the entire time, lost in thought. Lin Mubai looked at her worriedly, "Nannan, what’s wrong?"
An Nan still kept her head down, gently shaking it: "Nothing."
Is it really nothing? This look says otherwise, but Lin Mubai, feeling helpless, could only direct a plea for help towards his grandfather sitting opposite him. The latter immediately understood and curved his mouth into a gentle smile, first casting a proud look at his grandson before speaking, "Nannan, come over to Grandpa’s side and chat with Grandpa. I haven’t seen you for several days and truly miss you." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
From the first time he met this granddaughter-in-law, he liked her, and after spending some time together, he liked her even more. Now, this granddaughter-in-law has a place in his heart that surpasses his own grandson.
An Nan never knew how to refuse the elderly. She was slightly taken aback, but then lifted her head and walked over to sit down between the always silent grandmother and Mr. Lin.
The Old Madam Lin had seen countless ups and downs in her life. At her age now, there was nothing she couldn’t see through, and she had long understood that her granddaughter-in-law was not a simple character. Hence, she maintained her silence throughout; otherwise, given her temper, Xi Xilan wouldn’t have had a chance to speak in the Lin Family.
After An Nan sat down beside her, she gently clasped An Nan’s soft hand in hers, offering silent support.
On the other side, Mr. Lin Haotian also offered silent support, which moved An Nan deeply, leaving her speechless.
"Grandpa, Grandma, thank you." Thank you for accepting me, thank you for treating me like your own granddaughter, thank you for protecting me with your wings.
"Silly girl," Lin Haotian sighed before continuing, "Your grandfather doesn’t know how to cherish you; it’s his lack of vision, his lack of fortune. In the hearts of Grandpa and Grandma, you are the best child. So, no matter what others say, don’t worry about it. Just know that, in the hearts of your family, you are the best. It’s late; Grandpa and Grandma are not as young as before, we will go rest now. You all rest early too."
With those words, Mr. Lin glanced over at everyone around, his earlier benevolent smile vanishing: "Tomorrow, go to the Xi Family and bring my grandson back, or you, brat, don’t bother coming back."
"Got it." Lin Mubai replied innocently. What could he do if the brat didn’t want to come back? He hadn’t even settled accounts with him yet. It was bad enough that the boy joined others to deceive his old dad, but committing a mistake and then running away from home fearing punishment was unforgivable. Tomorrow, even if he goes to bring him back, he will give him a good lesson, teaching him what’s important and what’s trivial.
