Chapter 99: Chapter 98: How Dare You

Yu Hongmei helplessly tried to persuade again, "Lin Xia! Listen to your sister, won’t you? What if someone from our workplace saw this!"

Seeing that Lin Xia remained unmoved, she then hurriedly tried to persuade Lin Aiguo, "Uncle, you too, let’s talk this out nicely!"

She guessed that it must have been her uncle, acting all bluster and threat like breaking through on a horse, trying to hit someone, which led Lin Xia to draw a knife in agitation.

Lin Aiguo, still shaken with anger, roared, "Talk nicely? What’s wrong with me asking for my salary? She just boldly tells me that she spent it all!

Just after staying out for a few days, she doesn’t even know her own last name anymore! Hongmei! Look at what kind of children these are, daring to pull a knife on their own father!"

He kept shouting, but he was watching Lin Xia’s movements closely, ready to act the moment she let down her guard or dropped the knife, determined to give her a beating!

Lin Xia gripped the knife tightly, her expression grim, "We’ve already moved out and are living on our own, why should I give you the money I earned!"

Stung by her words, Lin Aiguo retorted, "I am not dead yet! Why should you live on your own?"

Lin Xia said coldly, "The day you told us to get out of the house, that was a complete break, from now on nobody interferes with anyone! You live your life, we’ll live ours!"

Lin Aiguo, furious, stomped his foot, "Then I am telling you all to get back home now!"

"That’s not going to work! Why should whatever you say go!"

Yu Hongmei wanted to mediate between the father and daughter, but as the two snapped at each other, neither listened to her, leaving her extremely anxious.

"You ask why? Just because I am your father! Hurry up and all of you go back home now!" Lin Aiguo thought to himself, once they were all back home, he would beat them senseless, make them respect him!

Lin Xia emphatically declared, "Impossible! Today, I will make it clear in front of Sister Hongmei, we have no relation with you from now on!"

Since she had already drawn a knife on Lin Aiguo today, there was no chance of reconciliation.

"You say there’s no relation just like that? I tell you, Lin Xia! I arranged this job for you! If you are capable, then quit it!"

He just couldn’t believe he couldn’t handle her! Living on their own, without money, he wondered how they would survive, starving until they would inevitably crawl back home.

Lin Xia retorted indifferently, "Then I won’t do it! I’ll quit right now!"

If it weren’t for having to consider too many people and factors, she would have quit a long time ago.

Yu Hongmei, anxiously grabbing Lin Xia’s arm, "Lin Xia! What are you saying! How can you just say you will quit!"

This job of Lin Xia’s was initially obtained through her great uncle’s help, although her work was a bit lighter compared to Lin Xia’s labor-intensive job.

Seeing that he couldn’t intimidate Lin Xia and instead was stuck in a deadlock with her, Lin Aiguo gasped with fury, "You’ve sure got nerve! Then I have raised you once, you have the guts to pay back all you owe me over these years!"

Lin Xia spoke through clenched teeth, "It was our mother who raised us, none of us owe you anything! If anyone owes, it is you who owes our mother!"

Her mother, Yu Wanhua, had indeed suffered much in her short life and had not enjoyed any good fortune.

In her last few sick years, she struggled like a dwindling oil lamp, exhausting her strength.

What had Lin Aiguo done? Other than throwing tantrums and bossing around, had he ever shown her mother a shred of affection?

In their previous lives, none of them ended well, so concerning Lin Aiguo, they could honestly say they owed him nothing!

Upon mentioning the deceased Yu Wanhua, Lin Aiguo’s anger intensified, "Why bring up that dead old woman! I tell you! Lin Xia! I raised you up just like one would raise a cat or a dog, they at least wag their tails at me, how dare you confront and pull a knife on me?

"As long as you bear the Lin surname, you are the seed of Lin Aiguo. Want to break away from me? Keep dreaming!"

Even extremely infuriated, he didn’t lose his reason—he wouldn’t let these rascals live it up so easily!

Lin Xia stared at him coldly, sneered, "Not bringing up my mom? Who should we talk about, then? Your later found old lover?"

"Exactly, we are worse off than cats and dogs! In the future, just wait for the children your old lover brings to look after you in your old age. But don’t even think about relying on us!"

She was in no way kind-hearted enough to care for him when he got old.

Lin Aiguo was so angry he almost vomited blood on the spot. What had this kid turned into? Why was she speaking so viciously?

"You think you’re tough? I’ll go find Lin Dong! You might not need to go to work, but he has to go to school, right? None of you will get peace!"

He didn’t believe it! Could all of them be this domineering and brutal?

"You dare!" Lin Xia shouted with eyes burning red. Out of them all, Lin Dong was the easiest to locate now. If Lin Aiguo ever made a scene at his school, it would definitely cause a lot of harm and trouble for Lin Dong!

For the first time, Lin Xia felt regretful, wishing she had transferred Lin Dong to another school earlier.

She couldn’t hold back because she was worried he would not adapt to a new environment and it would affect his studies.

"What wouldn’t I dare? I’m heading to his school now!" Seeing Lin Xia’s concern, Lin Aiguo smiled ferociously and turned to leave.

"Don’t you dare!" Lin Xia, driven mad, attempted to catch up and stab him!

In her heart, there was only one thought—even if she didn’t kill him, she had to make him bleed!

Yu Hongmei was terrified out of her wits. She had never experienced such a scene. Even though she wanted to intervene, she only managed to lightly pull on Lin Xia’s arm, which Lin Xia quickly broke free from.

Lin Aiguo, hearing the commotion, turned his head to see Lin Xia with crazed, red eyes, chasing him with a knife.

At that moment, he was truly scared; he knew she really meant business.

Stumbling initially, Lin Aiguo started to run. Being a man and rather tall, he reached his bicycle in a few steps, jumped on, and pedaled fiercely. In his panic, Lin Xia nearly caught up with him and almost stabbed him in his lower back.

Once Lin Aiguo had pedaled away fiercely, Lin Xia chased him for several meters before angrily supporting herself on her knees and gasping for breath.

Yu Hongmei’s legs went weak; she had never realized Lin Xia could be so ruthless, even daring to stab her own father.

With a trembling voice she pleaded, "Lin Xia, please calm down! This isn’t something to be solved with violence... My uncle is just talking..."

The words even made herself feel uneasy; it was also her first time seeing her uncle like this.

Before, she had only seen his favoritism, but now she was witnessing his irrationality and nastiness.

They say even venomous tigers do not eat their cubs. Are those kids really his own?

Lin Xia gave Yu Hongmei a look, said "thank you," and quickly ran off.

Yu Hongmei, anxious like an ant on a hot pan, wondered what else Lin Xia was planning to do.

Lin Xia, now somewhat calm, ran to the bike shed, unlocked her bicycle, and rode off to chase after Lin Aiguo.

Yu Hongmei, scared, hurried after her and grabbed her bike handle, "Lin Xia, please listen to your sister and calm down! Don’t be so rash..." She was genuinely worried something bad might happen.
