Chapter 321: Trembling With Anger
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Enough of this talk for now. Hurry and come with me to the city,” Lin Laoyao urged, “We need to buy a box of fruit as a gift for your uncle and apologize. You know that if you hit someone, you could end up in jail, right? You’re about to get married, you need to think about your future. Let’s go.”
At this moment, Lin Laoyao was filled with fear. His son was only eighteen, in the prime of his youth, he couldn’t afford to be imprisoned.
He was about to take his son and leave the house, feeling a pang of regret for having allowed his wife to spoil their son so much in the past. It had led to Lin Jie becoming lawless. If only Lin Jie had a bit more fear, he wouldn’t be talking nonsense now.
Lin Laoyao wasn’t afraid of his own brother. His brother was a man of honor who valued family ties. As long as they apologized, his brother wouldn’t do anything drastic.
But he was afraid of the Su family, and of Gu Zi.
He felt that Gu Zi was not easy to deal with. If Gu Zi knew about this incident, she certainly wouldn’t let it go.
With Su Shen backing her, they would be at a disadvantage. He had already seen this the last time.
Lin Laoyao’s wife and Lin Jie, however, were not at all flustered. Lin Laoyao’s wife was used to being domineering. She put her hands on her hips and said, “What are we buying? Do you think we have too much money at home? Don’t you know to go to the old lady? I don’t believe it. Let the old lady cry, make a scene, and threaten to hang herself. I don’t believe that Lin Lao’er’s family can ignore the old lady’s threats and send Lin Jie to jail!”
Lin Jie was holding the door, unwilling to go with Lin Laoyao.
Lin Laoyao said, “If you don’t go, I will go directly to the police station and have you arrested.”
Lin Jie rarely saw his father get angry, but when he did, his eyes were more terrifying than his mother’s when she was furious. He immediately let go of the door and followed Lin Laoyao. Lin Laoyao took his son and the money and left the house.
Lin Laoyao’s wife chased after them and blocked the father and son, “If you dare to go, don’t come back. I will divorce you!”
Lin Laoyao didn’t stop for a moment. Lin Laoyao’s wife realized that her husband was determined this time. She knew in her heart that once this man made up his mind, her tantrums would be useless.
She didn’t chase after them anymore. She turned around, locked the door, and quickly walked towards the direction of Lin Laoyao’s mother’s house.
She didn’t believe it. They were all brothers of the same mother. Even if the bones were broken, the tendons were still connected. Could the police really interfere with a family’s minor disputes?
When she got the old lady to back her up, she wanted to see who dared to discipline her son.
When Su Shen and Gu Zi arrived at the hospital, Father Lin had already been taken out of the emergency room and arranged to rest in the ward. Su Shen gave a thank you fee to the father and son who had brought Father Lin to the hospital. They were very responsible, explaining some of the doctor’s words before leaving.
Not only was Father Lin’s face injured, but one of his arms had also been treated and wrapped in gauze.
The most severe injury was on his right leg. His lower leg was fractured and had been put in a cast. His lower leg was wrapped in bandages, and there were blood stains on the edge of the bed, which made people feel uneasy.
Father Lin’s eyes were red and watery. It was obvious that he had been crying.
But seeing that his family had come to the hospital because of him, he pretended to be strong and smiled, saying, “You’re here. Don’t worry, I’m fine.
I’m fine.”
Mother Lin secretly wiped away a tear, walked up to him, and covered him with a blanket. Li Hua picked up the lunch box on the bed and deliberately laughed, saying, “Dad, you haven’t had lunch yet, have you? I’ll go get some food.”
Lin Cheng stood in place, trembling with anger. He wished he could drag Lin Jie out right now and beat him up, only killing him would relieve his anger!
Li Hua was worried that he would do something rash if she didn’t keep an eye on him, so she took him with her when she went to get food.
Gu Zi walked up to Father Lin without saying a word, picked up the fruit next to her, and began to peel it. She needed to find something to do, otherwise she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to hold back her tears.
Su Shen saw through her thoughts, walked over, patted her on the back, and whispered in her ear, “Don’t hold it in. It’s okay to cry. No one will laugh at you. Stay with mom and dad for now. I have to go out for a bit.”
After saying this, the man turned around and walked out of the ward with long strides.
Gu Zi looked up and watched his broad back disappear outside the door. She thought about his words and felt unusually at ease, even though he was gone because she knew very well that Su Shen was a very responsible and capable man. As long as he was there, she didn’t have to be afraid of anything.
Gu Zi was also filled with the same anger as Lin Cheng. She wished she could kill Lin Jie. What was the difference between him and a bandit? If he didn’t get the money, he would beat people up.
At least bandits recognized blood relatives, but Lin Jie was even worse than a bandit!
Seeing the redness in his daughter’s eyes, Father Lin felt uncomfortable. The man, who was not very good at expressing himself, racked his brains to come up with comforting words. He said to her, “Dad is fine, Little Zi. Don’t be sad..”
