Chapter 398 Small-scale incident, just speechless.
At this moment, Wu Qingfeng felt somewhat uncomfortable being scrutinized by Lin Beishan in the main room.
Unable to hold back any longer, he spoke first, "Do you have a grudge?"
Lin Beishan stared warily at the young man in front of him. "I am his mortal enemy."
Wu Qingfeng suddenly laughed, "It's our first meeting, and I haven't provoked you. Perhaps you've misremembered."
Lin Beishan frowned. "Even if you turn to ashes, I'll still remember you."
Wu Qingfeng nodded, then, as if remembering something, asked, "How did my father offend you, Your Excellency?"
“My father? What father?” Lin Beishan slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly. “Don’t give me that nonsense. When you brought me down, I told you I would never forgive you, not in this life, not in the next, not in the past.”
After a pause, he said, "Yes, your father was a heartless bastard too..."
Putting aside other strange points, Wu Qingfeng agreed with this: "My dad is indeed a heartless bastard..."
Lin Beishan: "..." No, is this kid crazy? How can he talk about his own father like this?
Lin Beishan glared at him, "You dare say that to your father?"
Wu Qingfeng chuckled, "Why wouldn't I dare? But he's not here anyway."
Lin Beishan clicked his tongue. No wonder he was so arrogant; he must have a powerful backer!
In the kitchen, Lin Chang'er pouted, "Right!"
Bai He: "..." She finally had a chance to spend quality time with her daughter, only to have her snatched up by someone else's pig...
Bai He felt a pang of sadness, but she accepted reality. However, she pulled Lin Chang'er aside and whispered, "Do you know what kind of background they have? Are they any good people? Are their family members easy to get along with? Let me tell you, a girl's marriage is like a second reincarnation. If she marries well, her whole life will be alright."
"Marrying the wrong person is like jumping into a fire pit. We're both wise people who've been through this before, so Mom promises not to rush you."
Lin Chang'er paused, then smiled and said, "Mom, I know. Actually, he and I are more like business partners. He knows what I want to do, understands me, and supports me. He won't say things like, 'As a woman, you should do this or that.' Instead, he'll say, 'What can I do for you in this matter?' or 'What do you need me to do for you?'"
Bai He nodded. "In that case, he's a good kid, but..."
He paused for a moment, then frowned, "Our family's origins..."
Lin Chang'er then told her mother what Wu Qingfeng had told her on the way there, and also briefly mentioned Wu Qingfeng's family background and current situation.
Worried that her mother might be worried, she emphasized again, "Mom, don't worry, I'm not love-struck, and I can support myself. He understands me and is willing to stand by me."
“He gave me the money his grandmother left him for his wife a long time ago. I also learned about his parents’ situation. I was thinking that maybe I could bring his mother to the south.”
"In the future, we will most likely live in the south. As for his father, he definitely won't agree to me being with him, so I won't think too much about it."
"Of course, we'll definitely meet a few times. If he's willing to be understanding, I'll naturally be understanding towards him. Besides, people change. If he becomes fickle in the future, I won't put all my eggs in one basket."
Bai He nodded. "I'm relieved that you think that way, but..."
She glanced outside again and whispered, "Your dad and I look more than ten years younger now because of our current identities, so you should be too?"
Lin Chang'er nodded, "I am 16 years old now."
Upon hearing this, Bai He thought to herself, "I knew it," and then said earnestly, "Look, at your age now, if you were in later generations, you'd only have a junior high school education and would be a child laborer when you entered society! Don't rush into marriage, and also, young people are full of vigor, so don't cross the line..."
Lin Chang'er's face flushed red instantly. "Mom, what are you saying? I know what I'm doing. He's been well-read since he was a child, and his aunt and uncle have raised him very well. What you're saying doesn't exist."
Bai He felt somewhat relieved after hearing her say that, but only somewhat. It's easy to say, but it only counts if you can actually do it.
Lin Chang'er looked at the sky again, "Mom, is the water boiling?"
Bai He glanced at the stove. "It's on. It's on."
Lin Chang'er smiled and said, "Then after I've had my tea, I'll head back now!"
Although she was reluctant, Bai He nodded and said, "Okay."
When Lin Chang'er left the Lin family, her steps were much lighter; she couldn't even describe her current feelings.
The worst outcome is also the best outcome.
After she arrived in this era, she prayed daily that they would be free from illness and disaster, live long lives, and die peacefully in their old age.
Fate, however, did not grant their wishes, but instead sent them to reunite with her.
So at first she was more sad than happy, but after a long talk with her mother, she felt that perhaps this was the best arrangement.
The old man dedicated his life to scientific research. She used to be somewhat rebellious, but now she actually needs an old man like him.
My mother's profession is just what makes up for the lack of technology in this era.
With their participation, many things can be accomplished more efficiently, and this era may be able to take a big step forward.
Clearly, Wu Qingfeng was unhappy.
He suffered greatly from Lin Beishan's piercing gaze.
During the half hour he sat in the main room, he recalled almost every bad thing he had ever done since he could remember.
He even recalled how the chubby guy across the street was so annoying and how he and his friends went to his house to steal his dog.
But I really can't remember when I ever offended such a person.
He could only conclude that this enemy must have been a creditor whom his useless father had offended.
He never does anything good, yet debt collectors come after him.
After Wu Qingfeng figured it out, he felt even more heartbroken.
He sighed and said, "Chang'er, how did your conversation with Madam Lin go?"
Lin Chang'er smiled at him and said, "Madam Lin is straightforward. We hit it off immediately and had a very pleasant conversation."
Wu Qingfeng nodded. "That's good then."
Seeing his sour expression, Lin Chang'er remembered her father's eccentric behavior and said, "I didn't scare you at the alley entrance, did I?"
Wu Qingfeng shook his head. "It's a small matter." He was speechless.
Lin Chang'er took his hand and squeezed it reassuringly. "I asked Madam Lin. The couple had a terrible accident and almost lost their lives."
"After that incident, Lin Beishan has been like a frightened bird, acting strangely. He must have mistaken someone for someone else. Madam Lin will talk to him about it tonight. Just ignore him and don't pay any attention to him."
Lin Chang'er originally wanted to comfort him, but Wu Qingfeng became serious instead. "What kind of trouble has happened?" Could it be that the court failed to recruit him, and some people, eager to prove themselves, came to silence him? And among these "some people" is probably his useless father.
