“With that, Grandma had nothing to say. She also often said that although she didn’t like Lin Shulian, Lin Shulian’s children were innocent. There was no need to target the children.”
“So that’s how it is. The old man put in a lot of effort,” Su Bei whispered.
“That’s right. When I was young, Grandpa was quite nice to us and treated us kindly. But as long as Lin Shulian came over, the atmosphere in the house would become very bad.”
!!
Su Bei said softly, “I can understand that feeling. There’s nothing wrong with Lin Shulian, but her existence is like a thorn in the old madam’s heart. But she’s a person, not a real thorn. It’s impossible to pull it out. It’s indeed a little troubling for such a person to appear in the family.”
“That’s right. It would’ve been fine if Grandma and Grandpa had reconciled. Unfortunately, Grandma and Grandpa didn’t reconcile until Grandpa passed away. Grandpa left with regrets, and Grandma is still angry with herself. Whenever she mentions Lin Shulian, she’ll get angry. Actually, even if you leave this world first, it still might not bring you any relief.”
These words made Lin Wenyu and Su Bei lower their heads in deep thought as their hearts felt heavy.
After a long while, Lin Wenyu said, “Lin Shulian’s existence angers Grandma, so she also deprived Aunt of many things. Therefore, my father hates Lin Shulian. Previously, when Grandpa’s leg was injured, my father investigated it and said that it was Lin Shulian who did it. However, Grandpa refused to believe it, and Dad couldn’t produce any more concrete evidence, so this matter could only be left unsettled. Therefore, my family has some opinions about Lin Shulian.”
Su Bei sighed as she listened to these words. Many such tragedies were actually caused by the disloyalty of men or women to their relationships, which led to these tragedies continuing from generation to generation.
But how many people were truly faithful to their marriage? They were used to hearing about such things, and sometimes, it was quite exhausting. Beliefs collapsed, and values were refreshed.
Seeing that Su Bei was still deep in thought, Lin Wenyu stuck out her tongue and said, “Su Bei, we don’t have any opinions about it. It’s just Lin Shulian. All this isn’t directed at you. I’m just stating objective facts. I’m not deliberately targeting your mother either.”
“It doesn’t matter. Since it’s the truth, there’s nothing you can’t say.” Su Bei smiled. Besides, deep down, her relationship with Lin Shulian was not deep.
She said, “So the inheritance will be divided equally in this way now?”
“That’s right. My father only has one daughter, and my aunt only has one son, who’s also my cousin. With you and Tang Yue, there are four of us. Although Grandpa said that one more child means an extra share of the inheritance, my father is a very magnanimous person. He wouldn’t decide whether to have another child just because of these things. Of course, Aunt and Lin Shulian are the same too. They probably had another child purely because they wanted to and it had nothing to do with the inheritance. It’s just a pity that Aunt’s child…”
Su Bei knew that the aunt she was talking about was He Xuyan’s mother, Lin Xiruo, so she asked, “What happened to that child of hers?”
“Sh*t, my cousin won’t let me talk about it. He’ll be pissed off again later.”
Lin Wenyu stuck out her tongue, clearly a little afraid of He Xuyan. She looked around to see if He Xuyan had come over.
Su Bei was amused by her actions. Then, she said seriously, “It’s fine. Actually, I already know that he had a sister who died prematurely.”
“Wow, you even know that. Did Cousin tell you that?”
“Have you forgotten? I’ve worked with Director He before, and we’re quite close.” Su Bei didn’t mention Lin Xiruo’s relapse. Perhaps He Xuyan didn’t want anyone to mention his dead sister because he didn’t want anyone to trigger Lin Xiruo’s illness.
Lin Wenyu nodded heavily. “Then I can tell you. Aunt’s child died at birth. Aunt was very sad because of it. She was pregnant with that child not for the inheritance but because she really wanted that child, so she poured a lot of effort and feelings into the baby.
“If it was really about the inheritance, she wouldn’t have stopped getting pregnant and having children after that baby died.”
“What about your aunt now?”
“She and Uncle are usually abroad. This time, because of the inheritance, they came back to pay respects to Grandpa and accompany Cousin. It’s just that Aunt seems to be a little ill again. She’s been in a bad mood for the past two days.
“When she came back the other day, she kept talking about looking for her daughter. She even insisted that Cousin bring that panda hat to do a DNA test. She insisted that the owner of the panda hat was her daughter. Sigh, I can’t bear to see her like this. I didn’t think her emotional problems were so serious before. I didn’t expect them to worsen this time.”
Lin Wenyu seemed to have a very good relationship with Lin Xiruo. When she mentioned Lin Xiruo, her eyes turned red.
Su Bei recalled the panda hat she was wearing that night. She had originally worn it casually, but she didn’t expect it to cause Lin Xiruo to have such a serious relapse.
However, she did not mean it. It would be strange if she deliberately apologized for it.
Lin Wenyu wiped her tears and smiled. “Look at me. I said that I would talk to you for just a while. In the end, you were trapped by my side to listen to my story.”
“It’s fine. The Lin family’s matter is related to me. I’ve never heard of it before. It’s good to hear it now. It also solves some of the doubts in my heart.”
Lin Wenyu said, “In any case, Grandma is determined to split the assets according to Grandpa’s will. The only person I feel is undeserving is Tang Yue. What she did to you was really too much. However, she’s going to get the same inheritance as us. I’m really unhappy.”
“It’s alright. Since none of this was mentioned in Grandpa’s will, there’s no point arguing.”
As the two of them were talking, the butler came over with a document and stood respectfully beside Lin Wenyu.
“Miss, Young Master said that this is for Eldest Miss.”
