Chapter 327: There’s Still Lin Miao
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Jie’s future father-in-law was clueless as to what his daughter saw in Lin Jie. She was determined to marry him, despite the fact that neither he nor his wife found Lin Jie, a notorious troublemaker, appealing.
Their daughter was so adamant about marrying Lin Jie that they reluctantly agreed to the union. However, now that the wedding was postponed, the father felt a sense of relief. He certainly had no intention of using his connections to help Lin Jie.
“Dad, do you really not care about my life and death? I can’t live without Lin Jie!” his daughter pleaded.
“Sweetheart, Lin Jie has assaulted someone. Can’t you see reason? And do you even know who he assaulted? It was Su Shen’s father-in-law,” he retorted.
Lin Jie was audacious enough to cause such a ruckus and remain arrogant after the incident, probably because he had his fiancée, their daughter, as his trump card.
Their family did have connections in the police department, and those connections held high positions. However, precisely because of this, Lin Jie’s future father-in-law knew that Su Shen was not someone they could afford to offend.
Lin Jie was now taking advantage of his daughter, assuming that her family would eventually protect him for her sake.
But they had no desire to protect Lin Jie, even if they could afford to offend Su Shen.
They didn’t want their daughter to marry a ticking time bomb like Lin Jie, nor did they want to clean up his mess for the rest of their lives.
Although Lin Jie was aware of this, his lack of proper education was a disadvantage. Having connections in his fiancée’s family was one thing, but it mattered who those connections were.
Their connections would be fine for an ordinary person, but if the other party was Su Shen, Lin Jie would undoubtedly have to pay for his mistakes.
Outside the house, Lin Laoyao, accompanied by his mother and wife, had come to plead with Lin Jie’s future father-in-law.
However, Lin Jie’s fiancée was inside the house, locked in a standoff with her father, oblivious to what was happening outside.
The family took the opportunity to dismiss Lin Laoyao, telling him, “Our master and young lady are not at home. You should go back and deal with Lin Jie’s matter first. The wedding can be postponed.”
After delivering the message, they promptly closed the door.
Lin Laoyao’s wife was so furious that she almost fainted. “You old hag, don’t cause trouble at this critical moment. I won’t take care of you,” she scolded.
Lin Laoyao’s mother, who usually didn’t dare to confront her daughter-in-law, could only sit aside and catch her breath.
As for Lin Laoyao, he didn’t react to his wife’s scolding of his mother. He seemed to think it was justified and continued to worry about his son’s situation.
After the commotion at the hospital, Lin Laoyao had a clear understanding of his elder brother’s attitude.
His wife and mother also realized the seriousness of the situation. It was not a trivial matter.
Lin Lao’er, influenced by his mother and daughter, was determined to sue Lin Jie. What could they do?
His wife, frantic and angry, yelled at Lin Laoyao, “Lin Laoyao, I only have one son. He can’t go to jail. You have to find a way to get him out, or I won’t let you off!”
Lin Laoyao was also anxious. He pushed his wife away and said, “Stop yelling. I’m trying to figure out a solution. It’s late at night. Even if I have a solution, I can’t use it now! I plan to go to the city early tomorrow morning to find Lin
Lin Laoyao’s mother quickly agreed, “Yes, we still have Lin Miao. After all, she grew up eating our Lin family’s food. Now her biological parents are in the big courtyard, and they are said to be officials, they should help us a little, right?”
Seeing her daughter-in-law being pushed away by Lin Laoyao, Lin Laoyao’s mother felt a sense of satisfaction. She thought, ‘This shrew, isn’t she still controlled by my youngest son? So much for her arrogance!’
When it came to the relationship with Lin Miao, Lin Laoyao’s mother held her chin high, looking rather smug.
Lin Laoyao’s thoughts were not as simple as his mother’s. He didn’t think Lin Miao’s biological parents would be of much help.
But he didn’t need them to do much. Lin Laoyao just thought that since Gu Zi came from the big courtyard in the city, and Lin Miao’s biological parents were Gu Zits adoptive parents, they could go to the big courtyard and ask Gu Zits adoptive parents to intervene.
Being respectable people, the adoptive parents would certainly care about their reputation. They would undoubtedly join Lin Miao in persuading Gu Zi and his elder brother and sister-in-law to settle the matter privately, so as not to bring it to court and cause embarrassment for everyone..
