Xiao Zheng remained silent for a moment before nodding his head. "She has indeed exceeded my expectations."
Old Lin stared at Xiao Zheng. "Other than an accident, is there nothing else?"
Xiao Zheng was a little stunned when he heard this.
Was this Old Lin's way of questioning him?
Perhaps.
He had held it in for so long and so many times. Perhaps Old Lin couldn't hold it in anymore.
Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "I feel a bit guilty." After a short pause, he continued. He paused for a moment before continuing, "She didn't have to do this."
Lin Huayin pursed her red lips. "Go and take care of her. She betrayed the Zhao family and Zhao Yin. She won't have a good life in the future. "
Xiao Zheng was speechless.
He knew that this was Old Lin's concession. Although it wasn't too big and he didn't say it out loud. But at least Old Lin seemed to have relaxed a little.
Xiao Zheng didn't feel lucky just because of this. More than that, it was a kind of feeling of being trapped within. It wasn't a good feeling, and he felt like he wasn't human at all.
But at this point in his life, Xiao Zheng didn't have much of a choice. Or rather, no matter what he chose, it wasn't ideal.
Shaking his head slightly, Xiao Zheng grabbed Old Lin's hand. Old Lin didn't resist. He just looked at Xiao Zheng calmly and didn't say a word.
This was the first time in a long time that the two of them were speechless. They couldn't describe the feeling.
Maybe Old Lin couldn't pretend that he didn't know anything. Or maybe it was the first time Xiao Zheng started talking.
In the past, he had wanted to confess to Old Lin countless times. But Old Lin didn't give him a chance. Now, Old Lin finally asked him to say it. But he couldn't bring himself to say it.
Although he had explained it, it was still vague and not straightforward enough.
After sitting for a while, Old Lin went to prepare a bath for Xiao Zheng. She knew that Xiao Zheng hadn't rested the whole night and didn't have time to take a bath.
"You have a wound on your hand. Be careful. Don't let it get infected," Old Lin reminded him.
"Okay, I know."
Xiao Zheng went upstairs with a heavy heart, but he ran into Young Master An at the corner of the stairs.
Old Lin was watching the news downstairs while Master An sneaked into Xiao Zheng's room.
"Dad, you're so mean." Young Master An glared at Xiao Zheng. "Mom was worried last night, and you didn't even call home."
Xiao Zheng was a little stunned when he heard this.
So it turned out that the main reason why Elder Lin was unhappy was because he didn't call him in time to report this matter?
Or did Old Lin think that he was hiding something?
After all, the previous confession was in a very stable state. This time, it happened suddenly. According to Old Lin's expectations, he should have given her a swift response.
Xiao Zheng laughed bitterly. He was finally woken up by his son's warning.
He was a little speechless, but more than that, he was tired.
He slept all the way until dawn. When Xiao Zheng went downstairs for breakfast, he heard from jESSICA that Elder Lin had returned to the old house early in the morning to pack his things.
Because the house was too big, there were relatively more miscellaneous things. It was impossible to move them all in one go. They had lived in this house for a few years. It was also Xiao Zheng's first house. Their relationship was quite deep.
Now that they had lived in the Dragon Phoenix Courtyard for almost a month, they still hadn't found the feeling of the old house. Even Xiao Zheng wasn't used to it, much less Old Lin.
People were indeed nostalgic. Especially when it came to things like a house that meant home.
After breakfast, Xiao Zheng had nothing to do, so he accompanied Young Master An and Ping Ping to watch cartoons in the living room.
One must know that Young Master An usually watched television alone and didn't like to watch cartoons. What he liked the most were kung fu movies. Although he criticized the acting in the movies for being too fake, he still enjoyed it.
The reason why he watched this was mainly to accommodate his precious sister, Ping Ping.
However, through Xiao Zheng's sharp analysis, Ping Ping didn't seem to be interested in this.
Although she was young, she had a pair of big, black, and bright eyes that were full of spirit. Every time she saw something that interested or disinterested, she would quickly express it on her face. This time was no exception.
"Ping Ping, you don't like to watch cartoons?"
Xiao Zheng touched Ping Ping's little face.
Maybe it was because she was getting older, but Ping Ping slowly realized that she couldn't be too cold and arrogant in front of her father. Otherwise, it would be a little unreasonable.
Of course, the second person she showed a good attitude to was the persistent Young Master An. The third was Xiao Zheng.
She nodded, her little mouth babbling. Xiao Zheng didn't understand, but Young Master An snapped his fingers. "Ping Ping is sleepy, she wants to rest."
Xiao Zheng was a little shocked. "You know that too?"
"I'm joking, I'm her brother," Young Master An said matter-of-factly.
Brother Ah Zheng was once again dealt a heavy blow.
He had been too busy recently. Although he would accompany his daughter whenever he was free. Compared to Young Master An, the time was still too short.
After accompanying his daughter, Xiao Zheng waited for Old Lin at home for a while, but he didn't show up. He took the initiative to make a call.
Unexpectedly, Old Lin didn't pick up. Xiao Zheng was a little dumbfounded as he allowed the dial tone to ring.
It seemed that Old Lin was really a little unhappy this time. Otherwise, he wouldn't have not picked up Xiao Zheng's call.
He had nothing to say. He knew that the incident this time had a profound impact.
He smoked two cigarettes and drank two cups of tea at home. He wanted to go to the company. However, he bumped into his mother-in-law at the door.
"Mother-in-law, please come in and have some tea," Xiao Zheng welcomed her warmly. Ye Yuhua was as kind and amiable as ever.
After the two of them entered the house, jESSICA immediately prepared tea and snacks. Then, he tactfully went upstairs. She provided the two of them with the necessary private space.
"I heard that Qiu Shou almost died last night?" Although Ye Yuhua looked amiable, her words were very sharp. She immediately pointed out the problem.
"Yes." Xiao Zheng didn't dare to hide anything and nodded in response.
"This child is also very stubborn." Ye Yuhua sighed. "A person's life is at stake. How can he be so reckless?"
Xiao Zheng opened his mouth. He was too embarrassed to tell his mother-in-law that Qiu Shou was trying to protect himself.
However, just as he was silent, his mother-in-law looked over with a wise gaze. "She has completely offended Zhao Yin. How do you plan to deal with this?"
Here it comes.
This was the purpose of his mother-in-law's visit.
She wanted to find out what Xiao Zheng was going to say.
In fact, before she had officially met Xiao Zheng, she knew everything about Xiao Zheng, including his private life. Ye Yuhua knew everything clearly.
However, she didn't say much. She didn't even take the initiative to talk to Xiao Zheng.
However, this time, the impact of the incident was greater. It might even affect the harmony of the family. Ye Yuhua knew that it was time for her to step up.
She understood Old Lin very well. She also knew how her daughter would deal with this matter.
However, this method probably wouldn't change the situation in a good direction. Hence, Ye Yuhua had to step up and say a few words.
