Chapter 1349 - 191, Adding Fuel to the Flames (One More Update)
How could Lady Liu not understand? It seemed that her suspicions were indeed true, Lin Wei and Chen Ruochu actually did have feelings for each other.
Anyway, things had already developed to this point, Lin Yuan decided to just lay it all out. Now Lin Wei was almost eleven years old. Lin Yuan herself had met Xia Zheng when she was only twelve. And setting aside Xiao Linzi’s family background, the boy was truly a good person, kind to Lin Wei, and smart and agile to boot. If the two of them got together, he certainly wouldn’t mistreat Lin Wei.
Taking Lin Wei’s already cold hands, Lin Yuan skillfully pushed her down to the ground.
With a thud, Lin Wei knelt down, her knees hurting fiercely, but she didn’t make a sound.
Lady Liu, however, felt a twinge of heartache and her eyes kept scanning Lin Wei’s knees, wanting to help her stand up, wanting to go over and soothe the pain, but then she thought about how this child had something going on and didn’t confide in her own mother, and her heart didn’t feel like forgiving her.
Lady Liu’s conflicted expression was all caught by Lin Yuan, who felt amused deep inside; indeed, playing the suffering card was the most effective strategy with Lady Liu.
Since Lin Wei had already knelt down, she and Xiao He naturally couldn’t remain standing. They exchanged glances, then knelt down together in front of Lady Liu, breaking her heart even more.
"Mother, your daughter has wronged you. I knew about older sister and Xiao Linzi but didn’t tell you, it’s my fault. Mother, please calm down. Don’t be so angry that you hurt yourself," Lin Yuan, who had been through the trials of working in a big hotel, started with an apology before even beginning to explain, which quelled Lady Liu’s anger considerably.
After a pinch on her waist by Lin Yuan, Lin Wei’s body shook, and she raised her tear-stricken face, her lips quivering as she apologized to Lady Liu, "Mother, it’s my fault, I have embarrassed you, sob, sob, I’m sorry..."
Lin Wei was truly heartbroken and started to cry as she spoke.
