My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

"Shi Zhao, say less."

The old man seemed to be used to the bickering between the two, and a hint of helplessness showed on his face, which silently told the story of the passing of time.

The woman was quite indignant and complained in a low voice, "The head of the family is biased."

The old man simply smiled and dismissed the remark.

Just then, the man in the blue robe, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened them and asked in a calm tone, "Old man Lin, are you going to take Xiao Shu home this time?"

"Of course!"

Upon hearing this, the man in the blue robe shook his head almost imperceptibly. "Based on my understanding of Xiao Shu, she can't go back with you, at least not now."

"why……"

The old man already had the answer in his heart when he spoke.

The man in the blue robe spoke, “In recent years, the Second Miss has become increasingly ambitious. There are only three years left until the next Lin family election. Do you think the Second Miss will agree to let Xiao Shu go home at this time, especially with a male member of the Lin family’s direct lineage?”

After a moment of silence, the old man insisted, "This time, we must bring Xiao Shu and her child home. I've been waiting for this day for almost twenty years, and I've waited enough!"

The man in the blue robe fell silent.

He was unwilling to get involved in such matters in the first place, but the reason he said those words out of character was simply because he was worried about Xiao Shu's situation after she went back.

Having been with the Lin family for so many years, he knew very well the way the Chaopin family operated...

Time slipped away silently, and before we knew it, it was almost noon.

A red sports car was parked side by side on the right, with the door open.

Lin Shu leaned against the car door, her eyes fixed on the black car two meters away. Although she couldn't see what was inside, her intuition told her that the person was inside.

"Master, Miss has arrived..."

When the woman saw Lin Shu, she hurriedly reported to the old man in the back, but before she could finish speaking, both the old man in the back of the carriage and the man in the blue robe in the passenger seat had already gotten off the bus.

The old man shakily walked around the car and came to his daughter, whom he hadn't seen for many years. He stared intently at her, his lips moved but he didn't say a word.

The same was true of Lin Shu.

Over the years, she had dreamt of this scene countless times, and she had prepared countless words for it, but when she actually saw it, all the words she had prepared vanished.

They looked at each other silently.

Lin Shu's eyes reddened uncontrollably. Twenty years was a long time, long enough that even her father's back had become hunched over, and he was no longer the same as she remembered; his black hair had turned white.

After a long while, she opened her mouth with difficulty and called out in a trembling voice, "Dad."

As the words were spoken, her years of perseverance and stubbornness crumbled instantly, and tears streamed uncontrollably down her cheeks.

The old man felt a pang of pain in his heart. He gripped the handle of his cane tightly with his left hand, and took one step at a time to approach his daughter. He opened his arms and embraced her tightly. "Ah! You've suffered so much these past years. I'm so sorry."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shu lost all her last shred of reason, tears blurring her vision. "The one who should apologize is... my daughter. It's all my fault."

At this moment, she was no longer a mother, but a daughter.

A daughter who did something wrong!

The heartwarming scene made An Youyu, who had just gotten out of the car, consciously keep quiet and even close the car door very carefully, not daring to make any noise.

The man in the blue robe standing to the side had his pupils contract sharply the moment he saw An Youyu.

The young woman who followed behind looked surprised, with a hint of doubt mixed in with her surprise.

Amazed by the girl's stunning beauty, they wondered about her identity...

If I remember correctly, the young lady gave birth to a boy.

After being held for a long time, Lin Shu gradually regained control of her emotions, and her sobs gradually subsided.

The old man patted her back gently, his voice pleading, "Xiao Shu, why don't you take the child and come home with Dad?"

"go home?"

"go home?"

Even though Lin Shu had already guessed it before coming, her heart still trembled uncontrollably when the old man said such things.

After a moment of silence, she finally shook her head and refused, "Never mind."

"Why did you give up?"

The old man became very agitated after being refused.

The young woman standing to the side quickly stepped forward to support him, her voice pleading, "Please, Miss, try not to agitate the master. His condition is currently..."

"Shut up!"

Before the young woman could finish speaking, the old man coldly interrupted her.

Lin Shu's brows, which had just relaxed, furrowed again, her eyes questioning, "Dad, what's wrong with your health?"

"It's alright, don't worry."

When facing Lin Shu, the old man's coldness quickly disappeared, and he waved his hand dismissively, "I had some accidents a few years ago, which left me with some health problems, but it's nothing serious. I can eat and sleep well."

"dad!"

"It's really nothing, alright, don't try to change the subject, you little rascal."

The old man sighed, his expression full of confusion. "The misunderstanding between us has clearly been cleared up, so why don't you want to go home?"

A hot breeze ruffled Lin Shu's hair. She stared blankly at her father, her voice soft: "It's not that I don't want to go home, but now is not the time. The family head election is in three years. I'm taking Xiao Mo back now..."

"I am the head of the Lin family, you are the only direct descendant of the Lin family, and Lin Mo is also my only grandson. There is nothing to worry about!"

The old man's words completely exposed his identity.

Lin Yi, the head of the Lin family, is in charge of one of the three super-grade family heads in Xia Kingdom. He possesses countless riches and terrifying power.

"That's not fair."

Lin Shu smiled bitterly, her voice becoming even gentler, "In the years I've been away from home, my younger sister has done her best for the Lin family. Although she is not Dad's biological daughter, you still raised her, and she regards you as her own father. I don't want to cause a break in the family relationship between you because of myself."

Lin Yi called out in a deep voice, "Xiao Shu!"

"Dad, please don't try to persuade me about this."

Lin Shu stepped forward and wrapped her arms around her father's arm, naturally leaning on his shoulder, acting exactly like a little girl. "We haven't seen each other for so many years. It's not easy for us to meet again. I don't want to have any arguments with you. Please don't force me, okay?"

Lin Yi seemed to give in and sighed deeply, "Xiao Shu, you're still as stubborn as before. I can't persuade you."

Hearing this, Lin Shu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Dad."

Seeing this, the young woman finally felt relieved and quietly stepped aside.

"Xiao Shu, it's been a long time."

When Lin Shu saw the man in the blue robe, her eyes lit up. "Uncle Duan."

The word "uncle" made the man in the blue robe's face turn dark instantly. He retorted angrily, "Little Shu, if you call me 'uncle' again, believe me, I'll..."

"What are you doing? Are you going to hit me?"

Lin Shu was not afraid at all. She walked up to the man in the blue robe and said, "Look, I'm standing right here. If you want to hit me, go ahead."

"you……"

The man in the blue robe, no longer as composed as before, was so angry that he jumped up and down. Just as he was wondering how to retaliate, he suddenly thought of something and revealed a malicious smile.

“Xiao Shu, I can’t beat you, but I can beat your son; from now on, if you call me Uncle Duan, I’ll beat your son up and we’ll see who can’t take it first.”

Lin Shu's expression stiffened, and she stomped on the man in the blue robe's foot in an annoyed tone. "It's been so many years, how come your skin has gotten thicker and thicker?"

The man in the blue robe raised an eyebrow, then resumed his previous nonchalant demeanor. "Always the same."

As the two were bickering, Lin Yi's gaze fell on An Youyu, who was a few meters away. After looking her over, he couldn't help but exclaim, "What a pretty girl!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Shu lost interest in arguing with the man in the blue robe. He turned around and went to An Youyu's side, put his arm around her shoulder, and introduced her, "Yu'er, this is my father, Lin Yi. You can call him Grandpa Lin."

As she spoke, she glared fiercely at the man in the blue robe, "This is... never mind, you can just call him Uncle Duan."

After Lin Shu finished speaking, Lin Yi pointed to the woman next to him and introduced her: "Her name is Shi Zhao, your mother's goddaughter who was adopted a few years ago."

Shi Zhao bowed respectfully to Lin Shu, "Greetings, Miss."

"Hello."

Lin Shu nodded in a friendly manner, "You don't need to call me Miss anymore, just call me Sister Shu."

Shi Zhao neither responded nor refused.

Lin Shu withdrew her gaze, keenly sensing An Youyu's tension, and gently comforted her, "Relax, come on, call someone."

An Youyu took a deep breath and timidly spoke, "Hello Grandpa Lin, hello Uncle Duan, hello Master..."

"Call my sister."

Just as the girl was hesitating whether to call Shi Zhao "Aunt Shi" or "Sister Shi," she heard Lin Shu's voice and obediently called her "Sister Shi."

To be honest, the generational hierarchy is a bit messed up.

All three eyes fell on An Youyu. Lin Yi squinted and asked, "Xiao Shu, who is this little girl?"

Lin Shu took An Youyu's hand. "Her name is An Youyu. She is eighteen years old this year and is... Xiao Mo's classmate."

"classmate?"

Lin Yi instantly understood the hidden meaning in his daughter's words. A complex expression flashed across his face, but he quickly regained his composure.

A few minutes later, the group of five entered the villa's living room.

Lin Shu pulled An Youyu to sit down, Lin Yi sat opposite the two, the man in the blue robe sat to the side, and Shi Zhao stood guard at the entrance of the living room.

"Dad, does Mom know you're coming to see me this time?"

"do not know."

Lin Yi didn't hide anything, "Xiao Shu, you know your mother's personality. If she knew I was coming to Jingchuan to see you, she would definitely stop me."

Lin Shu forced a smile and said, "It was indeed my fault, Mom. It's only right that you resent and anger me."

"What do you mean by 'should'?"
