Capítulo 503: Chapter 503 Humble Old Father
“Uncle!” Lin Fu’s face was livid with anger, “Do you really have the nerve to criticize me? Don’t think that I don’t know about the mess you made when you were young.”
“Are you sure you know? Has your memory recovered?”
“Uh… okay! No, but I have a strong feeling you definitely had some.”
“Cough cough!” Since his niece indeed knew about his past before her amnesia, Lin Cheng decided to put the teasing aside and said seriously, “I know you’re unwilling to come back with me now, and I won’t force you, but to return with Fu Xing as a civilian from a remote planet would be an insult to you, and many would take it as such.”
“I’m sorry!” Lin Fu apologized sincerely, “Marriage is not child’s play, I was negligent before and shouldn’t have taken it so lightly.”
“As long as you know. Thank goodness you have the Fu Family’s Purple Wish Token, otherwise you would have always been looked down on by the Fu Family, and you would never become the true mistress of the Immolus Star System.”
Lin Cheng’s expression suddenly became stern, “I’ve never forced you to go back and reclaim the throne, and you know I have never cared for such things. But you must not forget who you are—you are the most legitimate heir to the Mecklenburg Royal Family, and everyone should bow before you. It was one thing when you were in exile, but once you’re back on Capital Star, it’s different.”
“The dignity of royalty cannot be infringed upon.”
Lin Cheng spoke his last sentence with the weight of a thousand pounds, “If you can’t defend your dignity, if I hear any more of those disgraceful rumors, you will immediately return. I won’t stand up for you, you…”
Lin Cheng suddenly paused, irked, he slapped the table and said in frustration, “I really don’t understand. In Eternal City, you, Empress Fu, had an aura and lavishness that nobody dared to contest; I even had to step back, so how could you end up bullied on Capital Star as if you were some country bumpkin? Amnesia shouldn’t change you that much!”
Lin Fu felt somewhat guilty.
She certainly couldn’t tell her uncle the truth and made up a flimsy excuse, “But I haven’t been at a disadvantage!”
“Hmph! What about that Xia Youyou?”
“Are you being too petty?”
“Enough, enough, enough… I think you’re trying to send me to an early grave,” Lin Cheng wished he could take the girl back immediately, “Anyway, you’re married now, so you’d naturally side with your husband. There’s no point in me saying anything.”
Mentioning this, Lin Cheng’s tone was bitterly sour.
His painstakingly raised cabbage had been eaten by a pig; it would be strange if he weren’t angry. Playing the role of a father had not been easy, full of worries since she was little, and now grown up and still worrying, stubbornly refusing to listen to him.
Despite his formidable presence elsewhere, he was pathetically submissive in front of his niece.
Especially since that bastard Fu Xing had dared to pull a fast one right under his nose—a grudge he took to heart.
“Don’t be mad, I was just joking. I’m wrong, okay? Please, for my incomplete memory’s sake, don’t hold this against me.”
“Hmph!” Lin Cheng haughtily snorted, and it wasn’t until Lin Fu sweet-talked him for a long while that she managed to soothe him.
“Well then! I’ll leave you be, I have many issues to deal with and must return now. But I’m leaving Lin Qingfeng and Han Shuang with you, and you can’t refuse. Your antics this time have put Lin Qingfeng through a lot of misery, and it’s been harsh. If you don’t want to be the death of him, be more careful. If there’s a next time, Lin Qingfeng will surely die.”
“I understand.”
Lin Fu sat upright and accepted the responsibility; in fact, her memory had completely returned, but her mind seemed to have an invisible line separating Lin Fu’s and Flora’s lives.
