In the Lin family’s study, the Old Madame saw by the oversized desk. The usual company performance and the financial report were nowhere to be seen. Instead, on the table are a few pictures of a girl bleakly sitting in front of a tombstone.
Old Madame Lin look at the photo in her hand and touched the woman’s face in the photo, “Do you think what I did is wrong?” Her voice covered the guilt, pity, and remorse in her heart. A few days ago when she saw the newspaper, she was shocked. Her granddaughter spent the night in the hotel with another man. And that man is her other granddaughter’s boyfriend. Two sisters, who do not know each other fell in love with the same man, is this fate or sin?
That day after she saw the news, she called Lin Xuanxuan over. She still remembers––
“Look at what you did.” Old Madame Lin angrily threw the newspaper on the desk. Lin Xuanxuan stood in front of her, her head bowed down, not saying a word.
“Do you not feel any shame. You already know that he is Fang Yan’s boyfriend. Why do you have to pick him.” Old Madame Lin clutched her chest.
When she was made known of Fang Yan’s existence, she had no plans of acknowledging her. She knew that she was sorry for the child and wanted to make it up to her. However, when she found out that she can’t do anything for her she once suspected if it was right or wrong for her to even do this. So when Zheng Weiqian appeared, she knew that man could definitely give Fang Yan happiness. And when Xuanxuan said that she had let him go, the stone in her heart fell. But now, Xuanxuan personally destroyed her happiness. If Xuanxuan knew that she not only took away the happiness of another person but her own sister, will she know how much this family owes Fang Yan?
“I love him, granny.” Lin Xuanxuan looked at her and firmly said.
“You–––” Old Madame Lin was so angry she couldn’t speak, “You clearly knew that he has a girlfriend and he doesn’t even love you. How can you be so muddled?!” She slammed her hand on the table, unable to comprehend her granddaughter’s obsession.
“They broke up that day. I didn’t get in between them.” Lin Xuanxuan said.
“Broke up? When?” Zheng Weiqian, Yifan and Xuanxuan are good friends so she would see them in the house often. With her years of experience, her perception is very accurate so with her understanding of Zheng Weiqian, she doesn’t believe that he is a man who plays with other people’s emotions. He would be the kind who when he is sure of someone, he will do his best for her. This can be seen from his work attitude. Based on the status of Lin Group and Yinglun, it is inevitable that they would work together so she is very optimistic about this young man. Even if Fang Yan didn’t appear, she would still think that they are incompatible together.
Lin Xuanxuan didn’t speak and look at her grandmother’s face and saw the look of remorse and heartache. In fact, she was the one who released the news to the media because one, she wants Zheng Weiqian to make a quick decision and two, she wants to see what her grandmother would do.
“Clean up this mess and go abroad for a while.” Old Madame Lin calmly gave out her order “You’re already twenty-four years old, you should already be able to control your heart. Put your work in the entertainment industry on hold for a while. I will have your mother look for a few suitable suitors for you. As for Zheng Weiqian, don’t meet him again in the future. You two are not suitable.”
Lin Xuan Xuan looked at her with wide eyes. Is this her decision? “Grandma, are you telling me to stay out of the limelight and just marry whatever suitor you find?” How can she do this to her?
“Yes.” For Xuanxuan, she never had to beg for anything. She wants to act. Ok, she let her go. She said she wanted to film a movie. Ok fine, she used her power to invest in the film. This is the granddaughter she most doted on and gave her the best of the world. But Fang Yan, she never gave her anything, not even her surname. So this time, she wants her to keep Zheng Weiqian, this is what she can make up to her.
“So does this mean you will choose to side with Fang Yan?” Lin Xuanxuan asked.
Old Madame Lin didn’t look at her or did she reply as if to confirm Lin Xuanxuan’s guess.
“Then is your next step going to be acknowledging her and bringing her back to Lin Family?” If that is so, she would not allow it, she would not allow that woman to destroy her home. When that woman’s mother meddled in her parent’s relationship, their family began to crumble. Now twenty years later, her appearance causes Weiqian to distance himself from her. This type of enemy shall never enter her home.
Old Madame Lin fiercely looked up at her and snapped, “What are you saying? How did you find out?” This matter only she and Butler Lin knows.
“I knew long ago that she is the bastard child my father had with a vixen. What I said is correct, right grandmother.” Lin Xuanxuan’s tone turned aggressive, “What, do you want me to sacrifice my happiness just so you could fill up the guilt in your heart? Granny, have you ever thought about me? Her mother destroyed my family and now she wants to take away my man. Granny, do you know how I feel? Twenty years ago you allowed her to exist because you were guilty. But twenty years ago, she shouldn’t have been born, isn’t that right?”
“You––” Old Madame Lin was rendered speechless by what she said.
Lin Xuanxuan didn’t want to hear what she says and continued, “I won’t let go of Zheng Weiqian. Also, don’t let daddy know about this matter. Grandmother, please don’t interfere with my business.” After she finished saying her piece, she walked out of the study. From that day on, Lin Xuanxuan would no longer call her grandmother as sweetly as she used to, nor would she give her a massage and chat with her from time to time. From that day on, the feelings between the grandmother and granddaughter pair changed subtly.
“Do you think I made the wrong decision?” The old madame turned to look at Butler Lin.
Butler Lin fell silent, “You’re doing it for the sake of Lin Group.”
“Yes! I lost so much for the sake of Lin Group.” Old Madame Lin sighed, “Because of Lin Group, I’ve wronged so many people….” She looked at the picture of the woman in her hand and felt a wave of nostalgia.
