Chapter 636: Chapter 635: Lin Xia, What Do You Mean?

Song Zhiya, of course, was unwilling to admit it, "What does it have to do with me?!"

She was utterly sickened by the gaze of those few people!

This Lin Aiguo had nothing better to do, why was he looking at her?

Lin Xia was unwilling to confront Song Zhiya at this moment; it was meaningless!

So she silently shifted her gaze to Lin Chun.

Lin Chun knew who was behind it, and he had nothing to hide from Lin Aiguo, "I do need to leave! My work has also been arranged by my grandfather!

The reason I didn’t tell you before is that I wanted to wait until the family matters were nearly sorted out, and then go explain it to you in person..."

Seeing Lin Chun admit it so openly and with such determination, without the slightest trace of guilt, Lin Aiguo felt both anxious and angry in the moment!

However, his remaining reason reminded him that he shouldn’t burst out swearing or start hitting!

If he did so, it would only complicate matters further!

"Lin Chun, how can you be so heartless!" Lin Aiguo’s tone involuntarily softened as he played the familial card,

"If you leave too, I really won’t have any children by my side! Can you bear to leave me alone in my misery?"

Lin Chun moved his lips slightly, "Dad! You are not alone! Isn’t grandma still there? If you truly become immobile, I will definitely take care of you!"

Unable to control himself, Lin Aiguo glared at him, "How many more years can your grandma live? If you end up getting married and having children over there, would you still have the heart to come back?

I know, I was not good to all of you previously, but haven’t I changed now?

Lin Chun, you put your hand on your heart and tell me, haven’t I changed?

Could you really bear to let me, in my old age, be without any children by my side? Imagine if I die one day and you rush back only to miss even the last chance to see me..."

By the end of his speech, Lin Aiguo couldn’t hold back his grief...

In his life, Lin Aiguo indeed had done many wrong things.

Initially, when he married Yu Wanhua, he did not see any signs of deflowering that night and assumed she had been with someone else, not a virgin.

The day after their wedding, he either yelled at her or criticized her constantly, finding fault in everything she did.

As their children were born one after another, he found none to his liking!

Later, as Yu Wanhua languished sick in bed, he met the widow Qian Chunli and found his children even more of a nuisance.

A month after Yu Wanhua died, he brought Qian Chunli and her daughters back home and started a new life... favoring his non-biological children even more than his own...

Now, looking back, he realized just how inhuman he had been!

He now desired to change for the better and sincerely wanted to treat them well, to make up for the mistakes he had made in the past!

Unfortunately, the children were all grown up, and no matter what he did, he always felt there was a barrier that kept them from growing close!

But there is no such thing as a perfect parent!

Having recognized his mistakes and sincerely changed, couldn’t he move them?

Lin Aiguo’s words deeply disturbed Lin Chun.

But he told himself he couldn’t be soft-hearted again!

Once the arrow is off the bow, there’s no turning back!

Since he had already taken this step, he had to grit his teeth and continue no matter what!

"Dad! You’re thinking too far ahead! Aren’t you fit and well now?

Rest assured, if the day comes when you fall ill and can’t get up, I won’t neglect you!"

As the eldest, it was his responsibility!

Lin Aiguo placed his hand over his heart, his expression one of pain, "Lin Chun, I’m begging you, son! Please don’t go, okay?"

He wasn’t pretending; he was truly in pain!

Unexpectedly, he faced utter desertion in his old age! None of his children were by his side!

Lin Chun clenched his teeth and remained firm, "I can’t! Everything has been arranged over there! I must go! I will still come back to visit you when I have time!"

"If you want to hit me or scold me, come ahead! I can take it!"

He had long been prepared for this beating, scolding, and fuss.

It was just that the time and place had changed.

Lin Aiguo witnessed Lin Chun’s stubborn determination for the first time.

The Lin Chun in his memory, who had been submissive and took his beatings and scoldings, was gone forever!

"Lin Chun... I really didn’t expect..."

Lin Xia couldn’t stand it any longer; her hatred for Lin Aiguo could never be erased!

Whether in a past life or this one, Lin Aiguo had done far too many excessive things!

Did Lin Aiguo think he could erase everything from the past with a sudden awakening and a tender apology, leaving no trace?

That was simply impossible!

She retorted bluntly, "What do you really want by insisting that my brother stays by your side? Is it money?

Don’t worry, we will send you money every month!"

Lin Aiguo’s eyes turned blood-red with agitation, and his voice choked as he yelled, "It’s not about the money! I just want my son by my side! What’s wrong with that?"

"Even if my brother stays, he will live in the city! Where would..."

Lin Xia hadn’t finished her sentence when her left shoulder was gripped by Lin Chun, "Xiaoxia! Stop talking for now!"

Now, with the doors and windows open in the summer, a crowd of neighbors had already gathered at the storefront;

Continuing this argument would solve nothing and only provide entertainment for the spectators.

Lin Chun, gripping Lin Aiguo’s arm, led him outside, "Dad! Let’s find a quiet place and have a good talk today!"

Lin Aiguo, wiping his eyes, nodded firmly, "Okay!"

He still harbored some fantasies, for in his eyes, no matter how much Lin Chun had changed, he was still a simple and kind-hearted person, who might just be persuaded after a good talk.

Lin Xia watched the pair walking out, feeling a surge of emotion. Seeing Lin Aiguo’s pitiful, tear-streaked, old face was a stark contrast to his previously ferocious demeanor!

The neighbors at the door, seeing the two men come out, whispered amongst themselves and dispersed when there was no more drama to watch.

Among them was Mother Chen from the opposite side, who took a last glance inside the store before leaving.

Song Zhiya saw Lin Chun coaxing Lin Aiguo away, and the crowd at the door dispersed.

Yet Lin Xia stood still, staring out the door, seemingly lost in thought and silent.

She felt torn between leaving and staying.

Lin Xia made her decision in a brief moment. Without concerning herself with Song Zhiya, she directly said to the two clerks, "Ding Ling! You two go home first. Wait for my call!"

Ding Ling and the other were startled and exchanged glances. Realizing what was happening, they responded, "Oh! Okay!"

Lin Qiu and Lin Dong were also a bit surprised, but they didn’t say a word, silently observing everything.

Song Zhiya, unsure of Lin Xia’s intentions, frowned and asked, "Lin Xia! What do you mean?"

After the two clerks had taken their small bags and left the store, Lin Xia coolly turned to Song Zhiya, "My intention is clear. I’ve decided not to transfer the store to your family!"

Lin Xia had seriously thought it through after knowing the behind-the-scenes actions of Song Zhiya, which were truly disgusting.

Song Zhiya was a relative, making her actions all the more unforeseeable and sly, catching them off guard with her petty schemes.

Her stubbornness arose, and she’d rather send Lin Dong and the others off and then slowly sell the store herself, rather than transfer it to Song Zhiya!

Initially, she had thought about resolving the misunderstanding with Song Zhiya privately.

But after what had just happened, she felt it was unnecessary.

Because she was utterly disappointed in Song Zhiya!

She was grateful that she had already settled the cooperation with the specialty product company with Song Yinran; she had withdrawn her share of the funds, leaving the factory and equipment to Song Yinran,

otherwise, knowing Song Yinran, he might have made some amends due to his apology when he found out what Song Zhiya had done.

But she didn’t need any of that!
