"Okay, Senior Lin," I blurted out, immediately regretting it. Why couldn't I just call him Grandpa?
Before I could react, the call was already disconnected.
I stared at my phone, dazed for a few seconds, then looked up at Yu Rongling and said, "Coincidentally, I need to go back to the Lin Family right away. You won't see me for a good while, let alone the Centipede Gu."
"Which Lin Family? Don't tell me... it's the Lin's Exorcist Family?!" Yu Rongling jumped down from the table, his face full of hostility towards the Lin Family.
Yu Longting emerged from the kitchen, wearing yellow rubber gloves, and methodically took them off, "Lin Huan is your sister-in-law's grandfather."
"What the hell? What's this all about, brother, are you kidding me?"
Yu Rongling exploded in disbelief, muttering to himself, "Damn, the Snake Lord married a daughter from the Lin's Exorcist Family, that's just too bizarre."
Yu Longting removed his apron and let down his rolled-up sleeves, "There's something even more bizarre, Lin Huan has chosen your sister-in-law as the Lin Family's future heir."
"Heh, are you sure Lin Huan isn't just fishing for a catch?" Yu Rongling scoffed with full mockery in his eyes.
Without a word to me, Yu Longting had already called Beichen to send a car. Though he hadn't communicated a single word with me, I knew he would definitely accompany me to the Lin Family.
After all we've been through together, we had developed many unspoken understandings.
No matter what, he would always choose to protect me first, and all I could do was to accept his kindness and do everything in my power not to let him down.
After hanging up the phone, Yu Longting spoke indifferently to Yu Rongling, "Whatever the motive, if they dare to lay a hand on my wife and child, the entire Lin Family will be buried with them, Lin Huan can't afford that price..."
As a member of the Lin Family, I couldn't help shivering, the aura was too powerful, too fierce...
"Wife, when I talk about wiping out the entire Lin Family, it doesn't include you," Yu Longting, noticing I was a bit shaken, softened his tone and gently added. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novelꞁire.net
Is there a difference?
In the people of the Lin family, there's my mom, my grandfather, cousins I've never met, Seven Aunts and Eight Aunts...
They are all my relatives!
My lips twitched badly, "I'm going upstairs to pack. I don't even know what this trip to the Lin Family is about, let alone how long I'll stay."
"You go first." Yu Longting didn't ask further. Whatever Lin Huan had said over the phone, he spoke calmly, just telling me to go upstairs first, "I'll come up and help you in a bit."
"Okay." I took small, quick steps, running upstairs thump, thump, thump.
After a while, Yu Longting brought up a bowl of dessert or something of the sort.
A shimmering and completely transparent bowl, it looked a bit like lotus root starch.
"Okay." I didn't even ask what it was while drinking.
If Yu Longting said to drink, I drank.
The stuff tasted sweet.
Pretty tasty, like coconut juice, but even more refreshing.
After finishing, I was left wanting more, "What did you give me to drink? It was really good."
"My brother personally stewed it, Thousand-Year Snow Ganoderma." Yu Rongling, popping up, proudly introduced, "In my brother's treasure vault, among the rare medicinal herbs, it's one of the top ten treasures, all in that little bowl you just had."
I was almost at a loss for words, looking at the few drops left in the bowl and carefully drinking every last bit before I looked at Yu Longting, filled with incomprehension,
"Big brother, why did you give me this? And such a precious herb at that, it's a waste to give it to me. Are you sure I won't get a nosebleed from being overnourished?"
