Chapter 899 - 607: Understanding 2
"Yes." Lin Zhiling looked at her appreciatively, "Our Chuxia is indeed a courageous child. However, I’ve decided to find a way to secure the funding while limiting contact with Huang Suai."
"Are her contacts with Aunt more frequent than before?"
"Not at the moment."
"Then it’s settled..." Chuxia spread her hands, "Or maybe there’s nothing going on at all, and we’re just scaring ourselves for no reason."
"That’s how it is, but being cautious isn’t a bad thing. Mainly, that child is too clever and composed, leaving us in the dark.
With her temper, she wouldn’t let it go so easily after what happened to Huang Xinlong, but she’s done nothing.
The more it is like this, the more worrying it becomes. In the entire Huang Family, the person she cares about most is Huang Xinlong, and they’re closest. It’s not an exaggeration to say she’d sacrifice half of her life for him. So, you tell me, is it normal for her to have no reaction at all?"
"It’s not normal, but..." After hesitating for a while, Chuxia finally said, "I think she’s already taken action, we just haven’t noticed it yet."
"Have you found any clues?"
Everyone’s gaze turned to Chuxia.
After pondering and weighing her words, Chuxia bit her teeth: "You guys heard about Ye Meiru’s embarrassment some time ago, right?"
Everyone nodded.
Lin Wenbin’s eyes widened: "Xia, are you saying that was Huang Suai’s doing?"
"In the days leading up to the incident, Huang Suai went to the hospital and met Ye Meiru. After that, Ye Meiru started obsessing over Director Huang like crazy, and then that incident happened."
Chuxia didn’t answer Lin Wenbin directly but explained her suspicions.
"If she really orchestrated this, then her schemes run very deep. Even if she hates Ye Meiru, she shouldn’t deal with Huang Baoquan in that way." Lin Wenbin looked at Lin Wenhang, "What do you say now?"
"This is only a speculation without solid evidence, I refuse to comment." Lin Wenhang said.
Chuxia glanced at him lightly: "Any case investigation starts with speculation and reasoning. As for the truth, it requires more time for evidence collection and investigation."
"Chuxia, can you not look at her with bias?" Lin Wenhang’s eyes showed a faint pain, "I’ve made it clear, if she has any intention to harm you, I’ll definitely side with you."
"Wenhang, I don’t even believe such an explanation myself, let alone Chuxia." Lin Zhiling looked at his nephew and sighed, "Ask yourself honestly, who are you closer to, Chuxia or Huang Suai?"
Lin Wenhang remained silent.
"Second brother, I’m not blaming you. None of you have a reason to have to side with me. Let alone we’re in suspicion now, even if there were solid evidence, who you choose to side with is your freedom. I have no right or qualification to demand you to stand by me.
Moreover, a girl you’ve liked for years, if you can just let go like that, how heartless would that be? Second brother, do as you wish. Don’t force yourself, otherwise, not only will I not be grateful, but I’ll also despise you."
Even knowing that half of Chuxia’s words were sincere and half were comforting, Lin Wenhang couldn’t help but sob.
It’s been too stifling for him lately.
The family was divided into two factions, one supportive, one opposed.
The supportive side believing he could bring benefits to the family; the opposition fearing he might be a traitor to Chuxia. Either way, it wasn’t in consideration of his feelings.
He’s liked her for five years; how can it be so easy to let go?
He’s a person, not an animal!
He thought, upon knowing the truth, the one who’d resent him the most should have been Chuxia. Yet, he didn’t expect Chuxia to be the one who truly understood and considered him.
The feeling of being valued and understood is really damn good!
"Sigh!" Lin Baohe also sighed heavily. By now, he fully understood the ins and outs of the situation, and he realized there wasn’t really anything wrong with them being tested like this.
After all, no one could just abandon all benefits based on an assumption or suspicion.
For now, the Lin Family of the Capital treats him a thousand times better than his parents in Dalin Village ever did.
Of course, if the parents in Dalin Village were his real ones, maybe things wouldn’t be like this now. But alas, there’s no chance for him to experience what it’s like to be a real son.
"Let things take their course. Let’s not force anyone, or else we really won’t be able to continue transparently in the future." Lin Baohe expressed his stance.
Grandpa Lin nodded: "We think the same. If there’s real and solid evidence, we’ll firmly stand by Chuxia’s side. But under assumptions, let’s all be vigilant, and do as each thinks best."
Alright, that’s settled. Let’s change the topic to something cheerful." He looked at Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan, "Your Great Aunt and Great Uncle are coming to visit us the day after tomorrow; they say they miss you two very much."
That means, don’t go today, stay at home, there are more family members who want to see you. And they’re elders, so how can you just leave?
Chuxia had a look of realization. No wonder the elders allowed their grandson to play tricks, moving to fish for answers. It turns out they were certain of Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan’s filial piety, knowing that bringing up the Great Uncle and Great Aunt would make the couple too embarrassed to leave. (To be continued.
