Lin Nannan Claps Back
Lin Shuang returned with puffy, red eyes, her entire face clearly marked by tears, making it impossible for anyone to ignore.
"Did Zhang Ling scold her?" Lin Kangnian asked, looking at Lin Kangsheng.
Lin Kangsheng shook his head and said with a reluctant expression, "She's pregnant!"
"What? Who's pregnant?" Lin Kangnian thought he had misheard and raised his voice involuntarily. The entire Lin family heard him, and all eyes turned to Lin Kangsheng, putting immense pressure on him.
"Zhang Ling is pregnant. We were there when the doctor confirmed it," Lin Kangsheng said helplessly.
Who knew it would happen like this? If Zhang Ling had been able to hold back, even if it had been discovered tomorrow, Lin Shuang would never have known.
Lin Shuang was leaving tomorrow, and news about Zhang Ling wouldn’t have gotten to her.
But she couldn’t hold back and ended up exposing it.
Everyone looked at each other.
"Grandma," Lin Shuang, who had barely managed to stop crying, started crying again. She sobbed, "Dad still hopes she can be released, but she’s pregnant with another man's child, and she even came on to him. How could she do this?"
The old lady knew she was devastated. Having such a mother, that's just the hand she was dealt!
"Now that you know what kind of person she is, just pretend she doesn’t exist from now on and live your life well, understand?" The old lady wiped the tears from her face and said, "Stop crying. She isn’t worth your tears!"
How could Lin Shuang hold back? She sobbed and said, "She was so good to me before. Why did she change so quickly? She’s become someone I don’t even recognize. It feels like I have a different mother…"
"Ah, she was good to you before because she had an easy life and had the energy for it. But now she’s committed a crime. She knows what path she must take and still believes she can rely on those people to gain freedom. That’s why she went all-in on relying on men, but in the end, she still couldn’t change where she ended up." The old lady saw things clearly and had Zhang Ling’s nature all figured out.
All Lin Shuang could do was cry.
"What are you crying for?" Lin Nannan couldn’t understand. "Can’t you live without Zhang Ling?"
Her words were harsh and piercing, but to Lin Nannan, Lin Shuang’s crying seemed unnecessary.
"Doesn’t your father love you?" Lin Nannan stared at her and asked, slowly and clearly, "Your father picked you over his own son, abandoned his own grandchild, all just to protect you. Isn’t that enough?"
It wasn’t surprising that she asked this. Lin Shuang was not a child anymore and had experienced enough to grow up. Instead of crying and feeling sorry for yourself, which solved nothing and only made those around her feel worse, she should suck it up and move on.
Lin Nannan disliked crying. She believed it was better to solve problems directly than to weep over them.
Lin Shuang looked at Lin Nannan’s cold expression and felt completely misunderstood. After all, she was the one who had been hurt.
But as she thought about Lin Nannan’s words, she knew she had a point. Still, she couldn’t help arguing, "But she’s my mother…"
"If I had a mother like that, I’d rather not have one at all!" Lin Nannan shot back immediately, her tone sharp. "Do you plan on telling people in the future that you have a heartless mother who's behind bars?"
That statement left Lin Shuang speechless.
She wasn’t a fool. How could she possibly reveal such things to others?
The rest of the Lin family had been getting a headache from all the crying but had stayed quiet because they felt bad for her suffering. They hadn’t expected Lin Nannan, irritated by the crying, to shut her up with just a few sharp words.
