She found love, what did she do wrong?

Can……

The words my mother said back then have been proven true by time.

The mother was not wrong; she was wrong.

Su Wenyang is indeed an unreliable man!

Her selfishness led to the separation of her parents and biological daughter for twenty years, and her mother's eccentric personality is directly related to her.

Thinking of this, Lin Shu's eyes gradually reddened, and tears dripped down her face.

Xu Yanshu stroked her daughter's face and wiped away her tears. "Xiaoshu, I hate you. I hate how heartless you were back then. I hate how you abandoned me and your father for a man. You were allowed to do such a cruel thing, but can't I hate you?"

Lin Shu raised her head, her eyes brimming with tears, and said in a trembling voice, "Mom, I'm sorry..."

Xu Yanshu took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, her eyes showing relief. "I accept your apology. You heartless brat, but I can't be ungrateful. Home... will always be your last harbor. It's good that you're back."

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."

The gentle words caused Lin Shu to completely break down, and she buried her face in her mother's shoulder, sobbing uncontrollably.

Xu Yanshu gently patted her daughter's back, "Alright, you're not a little girl anymore. You're a mother now. Don't you feel ashamed to cry all the time?"

Lin Shu's tears soaked Xu Yanshu's clothes on her shoulders. "I don't mind, as long as you don't mind your daughter."

This heartwarming scene brought tears to Lin Yi's eyes, and the heavy weight in his heart finally lifted.

What happened to their daughter will always be a source of pain for him and his wife!

Now, all of that is in the past.

Just then, a voice came from the entrance to the balcony.

"Mom doesn't dislike you, but I do."

The person who arrived was Lin Xue, and her eyes were red at this moment.

"Xiaoxue, say less."

Lin Xue snorted in dissatisfaction at Lin Yi's words and quickly walked over. "Dad, I saw and remembered how heartbroken you and Mom were after Sister Shu left."

“Over the years, I have seen my mother secretly holding Shu Jie’s photo and crying in her room late at night more than once.”

“If Sister Shu does something wrong, can’t I say a few words to her? Sometimes, I really want to go to Jingchuan to confront Sister Shu face to face. There were even two times when I had already arrived at the airport, but I was afraid of upsetting you and Mom, so I ultimately chose to give up.”

"Now that Sister Shu is back, there are some things I need to say!"

Lin Yi opened his mouth, "You child..."

Chapter 639 Dad, how about we make the Jiang family disappear too?

"dad."

Lin Shu left her mother's embrace, wiped away her tears, and forced a smile. "Xiao Xue is right. I hurt you and Mom. In the years I was away from home, I am so grateful to Xiao Xue for taking care of you."

As she spoke, her gaze fell on Lin Xue's indignant face. "Xiao Xue, go ahead and curse me if you want, I won't talk back."

Lin Xue raised her finger and pointed it at Lin Shu's nose, her mouth opening and closing repeatedly, "You... are stupid!"

And then, that was the end of it.

Lin Shu was stunned. "Is that all? You don't need to consider my feelings. Just be as harsh as you can, as long as you feel better."

"never mind."

Lin Xue pouted, "Like Dad just said, it's better that you're back than anything else. Um... what I said at dinner was just said in anger, don't take it seriously."

Lin Shu was a little taken aback. "What did you say?"

“Take over those words from the Lin family patriarch.”

Lin Xue came up behind Xu Yanshu, bent down and hugged her mother's neck. "A few days ago, when I learned that you were coming back, I really didn't plan for you to take over the Lin family."

She paused, and after a few seconds, her voice rang out again, "But now that I've calmed down and thought about it, you are indeed more suitable than me to take over the Lin family. At least you have your parents' blood in your veins, so it would be right for you to take over the Lin family in the future."

Upon hearing the words "rightfully" and "rightfully", Lin Shu shook his head seriously. "Xiaoxue, you are also your father and mother's daughter. Moreover, you have devoted yourself to the Lin family all these years and have taken care of my parents. In terms of both sentiment and reason, the Lin family should be handed over to you."

“I said those things in anger at dinner. Bringing Xiao Mo back wasn’t because I wanted him to take over the Lin family. His ambitions lie elsewhere. The reason I said those things was because you kept provoking me, and I couldn’t help but retaliate.”

"cough--"

Lin Yi raised his hand, "Um... before you talk about this, could you please consider my feelings? I am the head of the Lin family, okay?"

"Besides, I haven't retired yet. Isn't it a bit disrespectful of you to discuss this issue in front of me?"

His interruption instantly transformed the warm and gentle atmosphere into a humorous one.

Xu Yanshu glanced at her husband, a faint smile on her face, and said in agreement, "Why should I respect you? Haven't you heard Xiaoxue complaining that you're just a hands-off husband now?"

"You don't care about anything all day, yet you still occupy the position of family head. How can you be so shameless?"

Upon hearing this, smiles appeared on the faces of Lin Shu and Lin Xue, who were currently facing off.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Lin Yi stroked his beard and laughed, "What do women know? For those in positions of power, the most important ability is to select and cultivate talent. Look at Xiaoxue, after my training, she can now stand on her own. Since she is capable enough, why should I worry about her?"

"Besides, if we don't give young people like her opportunities to grow, how will she develop? I'm doing this for her own good, don't you understand?"

In response, Xu Yanshu gave her husband four words: "Eloquent tongue!"

Lin Yi winked at his two daughters, "Why are you looking at me? Just keep talking."

Lin Shu smiled and said, "Dad, what I just said to Xiaoxue was also meant for you. I've been away from home for so many years and have developed a lazy personality. I have no interest in managing the Lin family."

"Moreover, with my current abilities, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to be as thorough as Xiaoxue. As for Xiaomo, he's really not cut out for running a family business. No one knows my son better than I do."

Speaking of Lin Mo, a hint of pride appeared on her face. "About half a year ago, this child suddenly seemed to wake up from a dream. His personality didn't change much, but his grades improved by leaps and bounds, and his personality also became more mature at a visible speed."

"Although I don't know what his future plans are, I'm certain that he has no interest in the position of head of the Lin family. Handing the Lin family over to Xiaoxue is the best option in the future."

"What a beautiful thought!"

Lin Xue snorted coldly, "I've been working myself to the bone all these years. I finally got you back, and you want me to manage everything by myself? No way!"

“I’m putting this out there today. Xiao Mo doesn’t care, but you do. Either of you, mother or son, has to help me share the burden. I also want to enjoy life.”

"Enjoy life?"

Hearing this, Lin Shu could no longer hold back. "Okay, okay, I'll try my best to help you with some of the housework in the future, is that alright?"

Lin Xue smiled with satisfaction, "It'll do alright, I guess."

Lin Shu laughed, "Then will you continue to scold me?"

"Tch, who cares to insult you?"

Lin Xue tossed her hair dismissively. "Will cursing you grant me immortality?"

Laughter suddenly erupted from the balcony.

Lin Shu stopped laughing and pointed to the seat next to her. "Stop being so affectionate with Mom. Come here, I want to ask you something."

Lin Xue smiled smugly, "If you're so capable, why don't you get all lovey-dovey too?"

Xu Yanshu chimed in, "She wouldn't dare; she's afraid I'd beat her up."

"..."

Lin Shu smiled bitterly again, "Mom, after I finish asking, you can beat me if you want."

Xu Yanshu mimicked Lin Xue's tone from earlier and said, "Tch, who cares to beat you up? Will beating you up grant me immortality?"

Lin Shu chuckled, feeling a sense of relief. Judging from her mother's tone, she had already forgiven her.

Returning to her family, her biggest worry was how to resolve the estrangement between her and her mother.

During her three days at the Lin family home, she tried every means to get close to her mother, but each time she was driven back by her mother's cold words, and she couldn't find a good entry point at all.

Tonight's heart-to-heart talk finally resolved this thorny issue.

Lin Xue sat down. "What do you want to know?"

Did Xiao Mo ask you anything?

"Have."

Upon hearing this question, Lin Xue did not hide anything and roughly recounted her conversation with Lin Mo that evening.

After saying that, she twitched her lips and said, "Sister Shu, I'm not trying to be mean, but haven't you told Xiao Mo anything about the Lin family all these years? Why did you keep it so completely a secret?"

What good will it do him to tell him these things in advance?

Lin Shu smiled and said, "I knew this child would ask you these questions. It's good that he knows how powerful his background is, so he won't have to be so timid in the future."

"Meek and submissive?"

Lin Yi glanced at him without changing his expression. "Without knowing what kind of backer he had, he crippled the second young master of the Jiang family. Xiao Shu, you call that being subservient?"

"Yes, they were indeed very timid and submissive."

Lin Shu nodded matter-of-factly, “Under normal circumstances, I would not choose to cripple Jiang Xiao, but rather choose to make him disappear from the world; daring to lay a hand on my future daughter-in-law is simply asking for trouble.”

"Don't worry, Jiang Xiao will disappear."

A cold glint appeared in Lin Xue's eyes. "If this kind of person stays in the world, he will only give Xiao Mo another enemy. I will eliminate him completely."

"So what are the Jiang family's plans?"

Seeing Lin Shu ask this, Lin Xue glanced at her father and asked tentatively, "Dad, how about we make the Jiang family disappear too?"

Chapter 640 These words... are quite domineering!

"Make the Jiang family disappear?"

Lin Yi frowned. "This is inappropriate. The Jiang family is a first-class family, with several level ten experts."

“A level 10 expert alone is not a problem, but the key is that the Jiang family also controls several large conglomerates. If the Jiang family were to disappear rashly, the higher-ups would be unhappy.”

Lin Xue looked disappointed. "What does it matter to me if the people above are unhappy? You, the one who washes his hands of things, don't even have this much face with the Elders' Council?"

As she spoke, she used a provocative tactic, clicking her tongue and saying, "Dad, you've been drinking tea with those old men in the Elders' Council all these years, what have you actually learned from it?"

"You can't even touch a first-class family? You're such a failure!"
