Before she found out that she wasn’t Liang Mulan’s daughter by blood, she had seen Liang Mulan as her real mother. Despite not having the same blood, their true bond had never changed.
At that moment, Lin Nuan couldn’t keep lying to herself. She couldn’t say that after getting married and removing herself from the Lin Family document book that she would have nothing to do with them.
As long as Liang Mulan was still in the Lin family, as long as her husband was still in the Lin Family, as long as the Lin grandparents and Lin Chen were still in the Lin Family, Lin Nuan would have countless involvements with the Lin Family.
The hot water poured out of the kettle. Lin Nuan immediately turned it off. Her movements were too hasty as she held the bottle and the spilled hot water scalded her arm. She immediately retracted her arm and used cool water to rinse it.
Fortunately, it wasn’t too serious and the burning sensation was alleviated. Lin Nuan flicked off the water from her hands and took the bottle back to the ward.
Lin Chen’s tall figure was standing right in the middle of the hallway, his back facing Lin Nuan’s direction.
He was wearing a light blue wide-collar shirt with a navy tie. His defined large hand held a grey checkered slim-fitting suit, his wide shoulders blocking the bright light from the hallway, his shadow enveloping Lin Ran inside of it.
The tall Lin Chen stood there without a word. Even so, he still had an exceptionally intimidating presence, not to mention the anger in his handsome eyes. His elegant demeanor was replaced by his steady, decisive presence that was cultivated by making kills and gains in the business world. Lin Ran couldn’t help averting her eyes and feel frightened inside.
Yet when Lin Ran saw Lin Nuan making her way towards them with the thermos bottle, she clutched her slim, fair little hands and looked straight up at Lin Chen, “So what if I’m a bastard?” Being a bastard was something forced out by you guys! I pushed Mother down, but she should have minded her own business! I was raised by Lin Nuan’s degenerate father for so many years yet none of you showed me the familial love I deserved. So how can you criticize me by playing the family card now and restrict me from doing what I want?! If you really are that good… then why don’t you disown me and let Lin Nuan be your sister?! Let Lin Nuan be your mother’s precious daughter and I might as well pass away outside!”
The vein on the corner of Lin Chen’s forehead kept popping out. He raised his hand and slapped her across her face.
Lin Ran let out a short scream and covered her face. Her glance went past Lin Chen and fell on Lin Nuan, full of resentment. Her whole face was covered with tears.
Lin Nuan’s hands clenched together as she held the bottle.
“Lin Nuan’s father may be more of a bastard, but he was the one who rescued you from the hospital and raised you. In such a poor environment like that, he never compromised on your clothes and food and sent you to the best school! If it wasn’t for Lin Nuan’s father, you would have died twenty years ago! Mother gave you your first life and Lin Nuan’s father gave you your second! So in this world… Mother can be resentful towards Lin Nuan’s father, Father can be resentful towards Lin Nuan’s father, but only you don’t have that right!”
The fine lines around Lin Chen’s eyes were carved deep. His gaze was calm.
“Is it just that in your heart you never truly acknowledged me as your sister?” For the first time ever, Lin Ran mustered up the courage to look straight into his deep, unreadable eyes, “You wish I could have passed away twenty years ago! This way… nobody could disturb the loving harmonious life you had with Lin Nuan!”
Lin Nuan stood from a decent distance. Holding the bottle, she wasn’t sure if she should approach them. All she could feel was the increasing pain from her scalded hand.
“You and Mother both say that Lin Nuan is innocent, then what about me? My apologies for not blossoming into the classy elegant lady that Grandmother and Grandfather wanted to see! Because I never received the kind of education Lin Nuan had growing up, so I can’t possibly compare to her!”
