Chapter 257: Two hundred and fifty-seven: Patricide
"Mother... mother, even you have started to deceive me?"
Ling Wan’s voice trembled as he spoke, his face turning extremely pale. His mother was his last support and longing within the family. If even his own mother chose to deceive him, then there was truly nothing left in the Zhao Family for him to cling to.
"You little bastard, this has nothing to do with your mother. It’s all your father’s idea. If it weren’t for this, could you even return to this home?"
Before Ling Wan’s mother could speak, Zhao Huan, the Family Head of the Zhao Family, had already cursed out loud. Although his shout was filled with anger, it was a great relief to Ling Wan.
It seems that this matter was not his mother’s idea, but a scheme crafted by his cruel father. Now that Zhao Ningshu was already here, Ling Wan’s actions at the Jade Pot Sect were unlikely to have gone unnoticed by Zhao Huan.
Therefore, at this moment, Ling Wan did not feel the slightest worry about his situation. Instead, knowing that his mother had not deceived him, he felt a measure of relief. His last bit of faith in the Zhao Family had not collapsed after all.
Upon seeing the shift in Ling Wan’s expression, his mother felt a deep heartache and finally spoke, "Ling Wan, your mother has wronged you, having raised you to this state. If you want to hate, then hate me!"
"No, mother, I don’t hate you. In the entire Zhao Family, the only one I don’t hate is you!" Ling Wan didn’t hesitate to reply, and this statement further enraged the father and son nearby.
"Zhao Ling Wan, you are unfilial and unrighteous, brutally murdering your own elder brother. What should your crime be!" Zhao Ningshu standing to the side yelled harshly. This manner of speaking might lead an outsider to truly believe that Ling Wan was an unforgivable villain who had slaughtered his own brother.
"Heh, my own elder brother? Have you ever seen an elder brother who wants to put his own younger brother to death?" Ling Wan turned his head back, his tone laden with resentment.
