Chapter 325 - 325: This Is My Family Matter
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As Old Lady Lin cried out, she shot a threatening gaze at Lin Lao’er, the second of her three sons. She knew his heart was the softest among them. If she wept and expressed her despair, Lin Lao’er would surely give in.
Upon witnessing this, Lin Laoyao and his wife also pleaded with Lin Lao’er through their tears. “Brother, we were wrong, our son Lin Jie was even more wrong. Please tell us how we can earn your forgiveness. As long as Lin Jie doesn’t have to go to jail, we will do anything…”
Initially, Father Lin had been worried for Lin Jie, for Lin Laoyao’s family, and for his own mother’s distress. But now, confronted with his mother and brothers’ pleas, he felt no stirrings of sympathy.
He finally understood. To his so-called family, he was not a relative, but merely a tool—a tool to be used when needed and discarded when not. It had always been this way.
Since his mother had entered the hospital room, she hadn’t even glanced at him, let alone shown any concern for his injuries.

She was only interested in defending Lin Laoyao’s family, berating his wife and daughter. Only now, realizing the severity of the situation, did she remember her second son, pleading with him, hoping to exploit his soft heart to save Lin Jie.
Father Lin saw through it all now. His heart hardened, and he agreed with his wife and daughter’s decision.
His gaze swept over Old Lady Lin and the others, finally landing on Su Shen. “I’m sorry,” he said to his son-in-law. “You handle it. I’m sorry for the trouble.”
Old Lady Lin was stunned. She never expected her second son to say such things. Was he really going to abandon her?
Enraged, Old Lady Lin charged at her second son, berating him. ‘You heartless thing! If I’d known you’d turn out this way, I would’ve strangled you at birth! You’ve been bewitched by these two good-for-nothings, even forsaking your own mother. Shame on you! I wish Lin Jie had killed you! ”
Father Lin felt as if he’d been stabbed in the heart. The pain was so intense he could hardly breathe. But he was a man, and he held back his tears in front of everyone.
Mother Lin watched, heartbroken.
Upon hearing his mother’s words, Lin Laoyao was also taken aback. He had always known he was the most favored son, and he’d always had the best of everything without having to fight for it.
But he had never realized how little his mother cared for his second brother.
Just when things were getting out of hand, a doctor arrived with hospital security to escort Old Lady Lin and the others out. Old Lady Lin had never been so humiliated by her second son before. She continued to curse and rant even as she was being led away.
Finally, the hospital room was quiet.
The other patient in the next bed comforted Father Lin. “Don’t take it to heart, bro. We can’t choose our parents, but we can choose to live our lives well. You have a good daughter and son-in-law, and many blessings to enjoy!”
Seeing this, Lin Cheng also comforted his father. “Yes, and you have us, too. You have me, your daughter, Li Hua, and Su Shen. We will all take good care of you.”
Father Lin smiled. “I’m fine, I’m fine. Thank you for your kind words, bro. I feel much better now. Lin Cheng, Gu Zi, you should go about your business. Don’t just stay here in the hospital. It’s too much.”
Mother Lin also urged them to go home, promising to stay and take care of Father Lin. Lin Cheng was worried that someone might come to cause trouble and didn’t want to leave, but Su Shen sensed that Mother Lin and Father Lin had something to discuss. He reassured them, “Don’t worry, the hospital will take special care of him. There won’t be any problems. Let’s all go home and let Mom stay with Dad.”
Father Lin and Mother Lin thanked Su Shen profusely. Lin Cheng also expressed his gratitude, to which Su Shen replied, “It’s no trouble. This is my family matter.”
As Su Shen spoke, he glanced at the woman beside him and took the sleeping Lele from her arms.
Seeing how Su Shen treated Gu Zi, Father Lin and Mother Lin felt a little happier. They believed that things would get better.
After they got in the car, Su Shen drove them to the school to pick up Su Bing and Su Li.
As Su Shen’s car pulled up outside the school gate, Su Bing and Su Li were just coming out. Seeing their uncle and aunt in the car, they were excited. “Uncle, Aunt, are you coming over for dinner tonight? What about Grandpa and Grandma, are they coming too?”
Lin Cheng and Li Hua didn’t know how to respond to the children. Their grandfather had been bullied, bullied by his so-called relatives..
