Chapter 2025: Chapter 2025: Keeping Tight-Lipped

"Brother-in-law, I’ve really never seen you so serious before. Have you forgotten? You used to often go hunting in the mountains with my dad. You two were so familiar."

Perhaps even more familiar than his own son.

"Hmm? Did we know each other before?"

Lin Baizhong cast a glance at the son he had reluctantly accepted and then looked toward Sui Zimo, asking.

The way he spoke made it seem as if he had been quite familiar with his son-in-law. Could it be that he himself had sold his precious daughter?

"Father-in-law, our house is right next to yours. This son-in-law here is simply ’closer to the water gets the moon first,’" said Sui Zimo, looking at his wife.

"Humph!"

Lin Baizhong snorted coldly.

"What ’closer to the water gets the moon first’? It’s clearly a case of ’a rabbit eating the grass around its burrow’!"

Lin Caisang: "..."

What does their squabbling have to do with her?

"Dad, am I the grass around the burrow?" She raised her hand, touching her nose and frowning as she asked.

Lin Baizhong: "!"

How could that possibly be? His beloved daughter was a flower that everyone adored!

"Dad misspoke, Sangsang. Don’t mind Dad. Come, Dad made some dishes. Are you hungry? Let’s eat first; we can talk about the rest later," he said.

Everyone looked at Lin Caisang being led away, speechless.

"Ah, I’m definitely adopted!"

Lin Changhong raised his hand sadly, touching his own nose as he spoke.

Wasn’t he just like someone who had been picked up? Look at his dad; with Sangsang around, he completely forgot about his own son as if he had never existed.

"Dad, wait for me! I’m hungry too."

Quickly, even if abandoned, one must cry and crawl back—after all, who else could claim his own father?

...

"So, mom has been waiting at home for me, hasn’t she?"

Putting down the chopsticks, Lin Baizhong looked at his son Lin Changhong and asked.

"This..."

Lin Changhong glanced at his sister and then looked sheepishly at his father.

"Well, mom lost her memory just like you did, Dad. It’s not her fault; she was deceived, really!"

Some things, even if not mentioned now, his dad would find out eventually, and he thought... well, it was his own loose lips spilling the old secrets.

"I’m not blaming her."

Lin Baizhong said earnestly.

Every hardship has its reasons, and everyone faces difficulties.

"Changhong, Sangsang, Dad has survived several life-and-death experiences. If I can’t understand even this, then I’ve truly lived in vain. For me now, as long as the whole family is alive and well, that’s all that matters."

He couldn’t have been more right.

As long as one is alive, why worry so much about the past? Whether it’s amnesia or being deceived, those are just past hardships.

It’s as if he would have remarried long ago during his amnesia if he didn’t remember having a daughter.

Moreover, according to what the children said, it seems his wife was deliberately schemed against leading to her amnesia, so he had even less reason to be angry.

"Have you guys figured out who was behind your mom’s incident?" he asked.

"No."

Lin Changhong shook his head.

"Mom’s lips are sealed. Sangsang and I haven’t found out anything, but it must be someone from Sky City; otherwise, why didn’t mom mention Sky City at all when we first said we were going to the Illusion Continent?"
