Chapter 118: 118 Awakening, Rushing Lin Yue out of the Lin Family [2 updates]

Without Lin Woyu, the Jiangcheng Lin Family’s branch had no reason to exist.

Lin Weilan’s health was failing, and she had reached a certain age, so when Lin Weilan passed away, the Jiangcheng Lin Family’s mansion would completely collapse, beyond salvation.

Over the years, Bai Jingxue had always kept an eye on Lin Qin, knowing she had caught the attention of the Yunjing Zither Association as a talented individual to be nurtured, and of course, he planned to take Lin Qin with him.

Lin Yue might have created some trouble, but after all, he was his son and would eventually prove more useful than a daughter.

The custody of the two siblings, he was determined to settle it!

"Who told you Woyu became a vegetable?" Lin Weilan was furious, coughing heavily twice, "Woyu is perfectly fine!"

"Madam, I already know what happened, there’s no use hiding it from me," Bai Jingxue said with a faint smile, "I just want the two children to follow me, and if you don’t agree, we’ll take it to court."

Having said that, he didn’t give Lin Weilan a chance to respond and hung up the phone.

Lin Weilan’s breathing was unstable, her complexion slightly pale.

"Grandma!" Ye Wanlan quickly stood up, immediately inserting a needle into her wrist, and said in a low voice, "Grandma, don’t be angry, or it will affect your health..."

Lin Weilan’s illness was very strange; in her previous life, she had read about many complicated diseases in the Scripture Pavilion at Taiyi Palace, but had never come across anything similar to hers.

She had seen Lin Weilan’s medical report, which showed normal bodily functions and no tumors or other malignant growths.

It was precisely because no cause could be found that no specific treatment could be applied, leaving the hospital helpless.

Strange.

"Mom, who was it?" Lin Huaijin was also extremely anxious, "Don’t let irrelevant people harm your health."

"How could I not know that," Lin Weilan sighed, her gaze turning icy, "It was Bai Jingxue."

"Why him?" Lin Huaijin’s expression also became cold, "What does he want?"

Ye Wanlan looked up, "Bai Jingxue?"

Lin Huaijin said coldly, "He’s Xiao Yu’s ex-husband. He must have heard some rumors and rushed over from Harbor City."

The distance between Harbor City and Jiangcheng was not far, and it only took forty minutes by high-speed train to get there.

But Bai Jingxue’s arrival at this moment was certainly not without ulterior motives.

"He wants Qinqin and Lin Yue’s custody," Lin Weilan coughed again, "He says if we don’t give in, he’ll sue us."

"That’s outrageous!" Lin Huaijin burst with anger, "He hasn’t even paid any child support over the years, and now he wants to sue us?"

Ye Wanlan asked nonchalantly, "Other than us, who else knows about Aunt’s car accident that left her a vegetable?"

"Who else but Lin Yue?" Lin Weilan sneered, "Truly his father’s good son!"

After Bai Jingxue and Lin Woyu divorced, he abandoned Lin Yue and Lin Qin, who were only five years old at the time.

Occasionally, on holidays, he would make a show of visiting the siblings in Jiangcheng, but he never offered any substantial help.

As he grew up, Lin Yue often ran to Harbor City because Bai Jingxue did not object to his racing; on the contrary, he encouraged it.

Lin Yue had once disliked Lin Woyu for being strict with him, and after listening to Bai Jingxue’s disparaging remarks, he naturally became biased.

"Qinqin is not going to go with him, but as for Lin Yue, let him go if he wants to," Lin Weilan shook her head, "I can’t wait for him to take Lin Yue away."

Lin Yue’s troublemaking had endangered Lin Woyu’s life this time, stepping on Lin Weilan’s last nerve.

If it was Lin Woyu this time, who would it be next time?

Lin Weilan would not allow such a ticking time bomb to stay in the Lin Family.

"I was thinking the same," Ye Wanlan spoke softly, "Grandma, you should rest first. Once you’re better, Aunt should also be awake, and we’ll go see her with my cousin first."

"Ah Lan, we are really indebted to you this time," Lin Weilan felt bittersweet, "Grandma hasn’t been able to assist you much, and keeps causing you worry and effort..."

Ye Wanlan reached out and gently embraced her, "Grandma, as long as you all are well, that’s the biggest help to me."

In her past life, she regretted dying too early, causing Ning Zhaozong to endure the pain of the elder burying the young, and leaving the King of Yan alone to guard the tomb.

All she wanted was for her loved ones to be safe and sound. That was enough.

Lin Huaijin said, "Mom, don’t be too sentimental. Go have some rest. I’m here."

Lin Weilan nodded and went to the resting room, led by the medical staff.

"Ah Lan, come here a second," Lin Huaijin pulled Ye Wanlan into a corner of the corridor, his expression serious, "Are you dating someone? It’s okay to tell your uncle if you are; he won’t scold you."

"Dating?"

"That one, I even saw the pink bubbles coming out," Lin Huaijin pointed at Yan Tingfeng, who was sitting in his original spot.

Ye Wanlan: "..."

Three seconds later, she said slowly, "Uncle, you should read fewer romance novels; too many can affect your judgment."

"Really not?" Lin Huaijin was still not reassured, "I’m just worried you might be deceived, what if you are into looks? Someone could deceive you with just a face!"

He had to admit, he had never seen a man with an appearance like Yan Tingfeng’s.

"Yes, I’m into looks, but I won’t be deceived," Ye Wanlan sighed, "I’m going to rest too. Uncle, you can keep yourself entertained, I won’t tell Aunt and let her despise you."

"Hey—" Lin Huaijin was at a loss for words, then looked pensively towards Yan Tingfeng.

No, he had to keep a close watch on all the eligible men who appeared around Ye Wanlan; he couldn’t let her run into trash like Zhou Hechen ever again!

**

Four hours later, Lin Woyu finally woke up.

She blinked lightly, and the snowy white ceiling came into view, giving a surreal feeling.

The last thing Lin Woyu remembered was swerving to avoid the pursuit of four cars, accidentally rolling over, and crashing into the bushes.

After that, she smelled gasoline, and the severe pain in her legs and head made her pass out.

She actually... hadn’t died?

Lin Woyu moved her fingers and toes, surprised to find that although she had no strength, she was able to feel them.

"Xiao Yu!"

"Mom!"

Seeing that Lin Woyu had really woken up, Lin Qin cried with joy.

She dared not make any big movements, only daring to step forward, carefully adjusting Lin Woyu’s blanket, and calling out again, "Mom..."

"Yes, Mommy is here." Lin Woyu was still weak, without the strength to sit up; her expression was gentle, "Qinqin, don’t cry."

"As long as you’ve woken up, that’s what matters." Lin Weilan also wiped her tears, "Xiao Yu, you rest well. The person who caused your car accident will definitely pay the legal price."

Lin Woyu was stunned, "Mom, but I didn’t see clearly..."

The four cars had appeared suddenly, not even leaving a visible license plate number.

It seemed they were intent on killing her, attacking crazily from the front, back, and sides.

Even if she hadn’t driven into the bushes, she would have been hit by those four cars.

"Auntie, you don’t need to worry about these things. You just need to rest well now." Ye Wanlan nodded, "I’ve asked the hospital to prepare medicine to aid in your recovery, to speed up the process."

"Xiao Yu, we owe Ah Lan a lot this time..." Lin Weilan rambled on.

Ye Wanlan stepped out of the room.

Before the door was closed, a shout came from behind.

"Cousin!"

Lin Qin chased out, somewhat hesitant to come closer, she gave a bow, "Thank you for saving my mom, I... I don’t know how to repay you, just tell me what you need."

"What are you talking about?" Ye Wanlan raised an eyebrow, "We’re family. Family should help each other out, that’s the only way to keep going."

Yet, these words made Lin Qin cry even harder, sobbing as she spoke, "I’m sorry, I’ve disliked you for the past four years, I was wrong."

When Ye Wanlan returned, she too was reluctant and even agreed with Lin Yue’s words.

"Hmm, no need to change your view, continue disliking that person from the past four years." Ye Wanlan’s gaze turned cool, "Those who do wrong, will pay the price."

No matter where the Transcendent Woman had gone, she would definitely find her.

Lin Qin, in a daze, didn’t understand that sentence, "What?"

"Nothing, just get to know the current me." Ye Wanlan smiled, "You also get some rest, don’t go to school for the next few days. If you fall behind in your courses, I’ll help you catch up."

Lin Qin pursed her lips, "Okay, thank you cousin."

"Good girl." Ye Wanlan ruffled her hair with a lazy laugh, "Cousin."

Before Lin Qin could respond, an excited voice rang out, "Sister, guess who’s here?"

Lin Qin turned around, seeing Lin Yue and the long-unseen Bai Jingxue walking together.

"Sister, I’ve brought Dad over, let’s go with Dad to Harbor City," Lin Yue said excitedly, "The development in Harbor City is no worse than in Jiangcheng,"

"Brother!" Lin Qin said incredulously, "Mom is clearly... she’s still unconscious, you’ve been indifferent, and now, how can you do something like this?"

"Sister, the doctor said the chances of Mom waking up are slim to none, it’s a good opportunity for us to follow Dad." Lin Yue was uncomprehending, "This doesn’t conflict with waiting for Mom to wake up."

"Who says she’s going with you to Harbor City?" Ye Wanlan raised her hand to block in front of Lin Qin, "Aren’t you going to ask the person involved for their opinion?"

Lin Qin was very angry, "I won’t leave Mom!"

Bai Jingxue sized up Ye Wanlan from head to toe, "Who are you?"

He had never seen this person in the Lin Family before, yet she seemed very familiar to him.

It was as if he had seen that face somewhere in Harbor City.

Lin Yue sneered, "Dad, don’t bother with her, you’re giving her too much face."

"This is the Lin Family’s business, what can you manage?" Bai Jingxue frowned, "This is also a dispute between my wife and me, it has nothing to do with you."

Ye Wanlan remained very calm, "You’re determined to leave the Lin Family, right?"

"Ye Wanlan, first, you’re not a Lin, and second, you’re not my mom, so stay out of my business," Lin Yue got bolder with Bai Jingxue behind him, "It’s my right to follow my Dad."

"Okay," Ye Wanlan nodded slowly, "As you wish, I hope you don’t regret it."

Lin Yue scoffed at that.

Regret?

He would never!
