Chapter 595: 556 Mutual Restraint (2 more updates)

"Fine, welcome to file a complaint. Miss Lin Jiaojiao is also Mr. Tan Lixin’s legal guardian. When the time comes, should I listen to complaints from both sides? Whom should I favor?" Lu Han asked with a smile, though the smile he gave Elder Tan was completely devoid of warmth.

Even now, did Elder Tan still not realize the harm his family had inflicted on Tan Lixin?

The Lin Family’s excessive coldness towards Lin Jiaojiao might still be understandable since they never raised her—there was only the favor of birth, without the favor of upbringing.

But the Tan Family was different—they had both birthed Tan Lixin and raised him.

"She’s just a mistress, how can she be any kind of legal guardian?" Tan’s mother scoffed, her voice filled with contempt. Just moments ago, she had been weeping and looking utterly pitiable, but facing Lin Jiaojiao, she turned combative like a rooster ready for a fight.

"Oh, that’s right, I forgot. Uncle Tan, Aunt Tan are still living in the last century, recognizing so-called weddings over the marriage certificates issued by the state law, right?"

"But what to do? The public recognizes marriage certificates. Lin Menmen has spent so many years as the nominal daughter-in-law of the Tan Family. What happens when it’s revealed that there’s no marriage certificate between them? How will the Tan Family explain this?"

"Can Tan Enterprise continue to be as glorious as it is now?"

"..."

Elder Tan was suddenly silenced. He did acknowledge Lin Menmen as his daughter-in-law in his heart, but no matter how much he acknowledged an outsider woman, he couldn’t stake everything of the Tan’s on her.

No outsider woman was worth more than everything his Tan Family and Tan Enterprise had worked hard for—a wealth he had dedicated his life to building for the descendants of the Tan Family.

Seeing her parents silent, Tan Qiaoyue rushed out, "Lu Han, are you threatening us? I’ll have you know, they may fear you, but I certainly don’t."

"Is that so? Well, let’s just see about that." A sharp coldness flashed in Lu Han’s eyes.

Tan Qiaoyue claimed she wasn’t afraid, but for some reason, the coldness in Lu Han’s gaze sent chills down her spine.

In that moment, she knew that Lu Han was someone who meant what he said.

And she had just been engaging in a war of words.

"Qiaoyue, stop talking, let’s go," Elder Tan called to his daughter. They shouldn’t provoke Lu Han. With such a tough father backing him, and given his old age, Elder Tan was curious to see just how many good years he had left.

A gentleman’s revenge can wait ten years. Once Lu Han no longer had Lu Maoyan to rely on, Elder Tan wanted to see if he could still be as arrogant relying on just himself.

"Lu Han, if you want this woman to go in to see my son, and since we can’t stop it, then so be it. However, if my son is harmed by her, let me tell you, the Tan Family will pursue this to the very end."

As they left, Elder Tan still managed to utter a harsh threat.

This time, Lu Han didn’t even bother to respond.

In the past, Lu Han always found his father displeasing, but after seeing Elder Tan, Lu Han thought his own old man was much more endearing.

Tan Lixin’s life was truly unfortunate, born into the Tan Family and having such a man for a father.

"Jiaojiao, I’ll take you in to see him."

"Mmm, thank you, Lu Han."

She was grateful not only for Lu Han taking her to see Tan Lixin but also for defending her earlier in front of the Tan Family.

**

Once in the hospital room, Lu Han let Lin Jiaojiao enter on her own.

Lin Jiaojiao had been in the room for less than a minute when the surveillance video captured a horrifying scene. Lin Jiaojiao clutched her chest and started vomiting blood copiously while Elder Tan on the hospital bed suddenly developed a puss-filled blister on the back of his hand that kept growing until it burst, oozing foul pus.

The scene terrified the young nurse watching the surveillance footage; she covered her mouth, then quickly gathered her senses to call Lu Han.

Upon hearing the news, Lu Han immediately rushed to the hospital room.

Tang Su wanted to follow, but Longliu stopped her.

Bai Dingxian at this time was quite loyal, and without needing Lu Han to call, he followed and was ready to help at any moment.

When Lu Han pushed open the door and saw the scene inside, he turned his head and roared at Bai Dingxian first, "Don’t come in."

Bai Dingxian: "..."

He really was a guy who got no good return for his kindness.

In the intensive care unit, there was blood in Lin Jiaojiao’s eye sockets, followed by blood from her nose and ears, presenting a horrific sight of bleeding from all seven orifices.

"Lu Han——" Lin Jiaojiao knew she had a problem too.

She didn’t want to harm Lu Han and wanted him to leave. She wasn’t afraid to die, as long as she could see Elder Tan one last time before she passed, that was enough.

She now knew that Elder Tan’s recent neglect wasn’t because he genuinely didn’t care about her, but because he had no choice and was suffering terribly.

Now, seeing him so pale as if he were a living dead man, lying on the bed motionless, Lin Jiaojiao’s heart felt as if it were being scorched over a fire.

Just a moment ago, when she started to feel uncomfortable, a fishy sweetness emerged in her throat, and then, a steady stream of bloody tasting liquid followed.

When she caught it with her hand, it was all blood.

Bright red, it was chilling to look at.

"Don’t panic, hold your breath," Lu Han came over and taught Lin Jiaojiao how to cope.

Eventually, Lu Han carried Lin Jiaojiao to another empty bed, stopped her bleeding, and had her lie flat. Lin Jiaojiao was still bleeding from her seven orifices, and after Lu Han focused and calmed himself for a few seconds, he pressed a point on the back of Lin Jiaojiao’s head.

It was that miraculous. The bleeding stopped instantly.

As Lin Jiaojiao didn’t get flustered due to excessive blood loss, she was more worried about Elder Tan, "Lu Han, the pustules on Elder Tan’s body ..."

"No need to hurry, I will take care of it, remember, just lie here and don’t get out of bed to walk around."

"Okay, I will listen to you."

"Listen to me, Elder Tan will definitely develop more pustules soon but no matter what happens to Elder Tan, remember, don’t get off the bed, I need to see Lin Menmen."

"Is what’s happening to us related to her?" Lin Jiaojiao wasn’t foolish.

She had long harbored suspicions; however, she subconsciously thought that to poison someone, one at least had to consume something prepared by that person.

But given Elder Tan’s disgust for Lin Menmen, he would certainly not eat anything she prepared for him, and she hadn’t eaten anything either.

So, how exactly did Lin Menmen manage to do this?

How was she so powerful?

The reactions on their bodies seemed to be more than just simple poisoning.

"Don’t overthink it."

"Lu Han——"

"Is there anything else?"

"You and Tang Su are about to hold your wedding ceremony, but I am causing you such trouble with Elder Tan right now, it’s really tough on you," Lin Jiaojiao felt both grateful and guilty towards Lu Han.

"Do as I say, that will be the greatest..."

Suddenly, Lu Han thought of something. When they were separated, their reactions were not that intense, so was the Poisonous Insect that Lin Menmen had placed on both of them antagonistic to each other?

She didn’t want the two of them to be together?
