Chapter 782: Chapter 781 I’m not lying to you
"I said, I didn’t lie to you!"
"Then why didn’t you admit it just now! Do you know how worried I am about Mommy?"
"Worried about her?" Li Mubai scoffed, "She’s the murderer who killed my child, what right do you have to worry about her? Lin Hang, don’t think I’ll be lenient with you just because you’re young! I warn you, if you cause any trouble, I will not let you off easily!"
"I’m not causing trouble!"
"You are causing trouble! You should know that this is a dockyard, a very private dock, and if you stir up trouble on the boat, I can’t protect you! You need to trust Daddy!"
"Fine! Daddy, I’ll listen to you!" Lin Hang ceded.
"That’s my good boy! Go back to your room and wait for Mommy!"
As he spoke, Li Mubai walked toward the cabin.
Seeing this, Lin Hang had no choice but to go back to his room.
"Lin Hang, I know I’ve wronged you, but I really have my difficulties! Will you forgive me, please?"
Hearing this, Lin Hang couldn’t help but be startled, then he showed a trace of sarcasm, "Lin Xiaoxiao, do you think I would still believe the play you’re putting on?"
"Daddy!" Lin Hang looked at Lin Fan, "Do you know why I’ve become like this?"
"What does your change have to do with me?!"
"Of course, it has something to do with you!" Lin Hang clenched his fists in agitation, "It’s all because of that woman! It’s all her fault. If she hadn’t seduced Li Mubai, how could I have ended up like this?!"
Hearing this, Lin Fan’s face changed dramatically, "What nonsense are you talking about?! Shut your mouth!"
"Lin Hang, have you forgotten what you promised me?"
"What promise?"
"To find out whose child is really inside Lin Xiaoxiao’s womb!"
"I’ve already checked for you!" Lin Hang said coldly, "It’s a man’s!"
"What did you say?!"
"It’s Li Mubai’s!"
Lin Fan stared at Lin Hang in shock, "Really?"
"What’s there to doubt?" Lin Hang retorted, "Daddy, do you still doubt my abilities?"
"No! I trust your ability!"
Lin Fan sighed, "I just never imagined that our childhood sweetheart, whom we grew up with, could be such a person!"
"Do you even remember that we grew up together?"
"Of course, I remember!"
Lin Fan said bitterly, "Lin Hang, we’ve grown up together, haven’t you really noticed how I feel about you?"
"My feelings for you are only of brotherhood, there’s no love!" Lin Hang declared emphatically.
"Lin Hang, stop being delusional! It’s destined that we’re just two parallel lines, stop entangling us in ambiguity!"
"What are you talking about?"
"Don’t you know how I feel about you?"
"I don’t know!"
"Fine! Then I’ll tell you, the person I’ve always loved is Su Mo! You’re just a substitute for me!"
"You..."
"Stop being delusional! You are my substitute, I won’t like you, nor will I fall in love with you!"
"Lin Hang! You’re too selfish!" Lin Fan ground his teeth in fury, "You can’t do this to me! You’re my father, I won’t allow you to love another woman!"
"Haha..." Lin Fan suddenly erupted into a few bursts of laughter, "How pathetic! You don’t even afford me the most basic trust, so what trust is there to speak of?"
"Lin Hang, it’s not that I don’t trust you, but you’re not worth my trust!"
"Haha... Lin Hang, you really disappoint me, you’re such a good father!" Lin Hang said sarcastically.
Lin Fan had never expected that the brother he had protected for so many years would be so ungrateful and ruthless!
"I don’t care! Lin Hang, you must break up with Su Mo, otherwise, we’re through!" Lin Fan threatened viciously.
"I refuse!"
Lin Hang flatly refused.
"Lin Hang, this time you must listen to me!"
"Impossible!"
Lin Fan roared, "Don’t even think about controlling me!"
"You..."
Seeing Lin Hang’s adamant attitude, Lin Fan, furious and frustrated, said, "Lin Hang, remember this, no matter what, I am your father, and I have the right to order you to do something illegal!"
"I’m not afraid! You’ve driven me into a corner already!"
"Hmph!" Lin Fan snorted coldly and turned to leave the room.
Seeing Lin Hang like this, Li Mubai felt some regret!
After all, Lin Fan was his most beloved son!
How could he bear to push him into the fire pit!
But, Lin Hang was an uncontrollable demon king; he simply couldn’t rein him in!
"Forget it! Just let him be arrogant for a few more days," Li Mubai muttered softly.
Then, Li Mubai turned and walked upstairs.
Lin Hang returned to his room and lay down on the bed, falling asleep.
For some reason, tonight, he missed his mother terribly.
In recent days, his mother had been elusive, god knows where she’d gone to enjoy herself.
While he had been drifting at sea for three whole days.
For those three days, he had not had a drop to drink or a bite to eat; he was just sustaining himself on IV fluids!
Lin Fan grew weaker and weaker, his eyelids heavier and heavier, and his eyes gradually unable to stay open.
He didn’t know how much time had passed when Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes.
By then, the sky was already bright, the sunlight pouring through the curtains, spreading a layer of golden light over the floor, warming his body.
Lin Hang raised his head and took a glance at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window.
He couldn’t help but take a deep breath, feeling somewhat comforted in his heart.
Although he had fallen to such a low, he still had the blue sky to appreciate, which made his three days and three nights adrift at sea somehow worth it.
While Lin Hang was immersed in his own thoughts, footsteps approached.
Lin Hang instinctively looked back and saw Lin Fan standing at the door in a pink dress.
Seeing Lin Fan like this, Lin Hang was slightly startled, then scoffed, "Heh... Have you finally condescended to come back?"
Lin Hang gave Lin Fan a cold glance and continued to survey his surroundings.
This was a luxurious apartment, spacious and decorated in a minimalist style, it looked like the abode of a wealthy young master.
And Lin Fan was a young master, moreover, this was one of Li Group’s enterprises!
It seems Li Group’s assets in Nanjing weren’t small!
"Dad!" Lin Fan called softly, "I’m hungry!"
Having said this, he lowered his head, not daring to see Lin Fan’s expression, for in his eyes, that was Lin Fan’s Achilles’ heel.
Hearing this, Lin Fan’s face instantly darkened.
He didn’t respond to Lin Fan’s statement, instead shifting his gaze elsewhere.
"Lin Hang, since you know you’re wrong, I hope from now on you’ll mend your ways! Don’t toy with other people’s feelings anymore! Your behavior truly breaks my heart!"
"Breaks your heart?" Lin Fan scoffed with contempt, "Lin Fan, do you really see me as that kind of person? I, Lin Fan, only like Su Mo, and I don’t mind if she is someone’s substitute!"
"Nonsense! Do you even realize who you’re talking to?"
"I know, I’m your son! So, don’t start with your so-called education!" Lin Fan replied with a cold laugh, "What kind of person I am, you think you know better than me? I’m aware that you don’t want me to marry Su Mo, and I have no intention of letting you have your way, does that satisfy you?"
"Lin Hang, I’m warning you! If you dare to defy me again, watch out, I’ll cripple you!" Lin Fan threatened, "Do you not realize that Su Mo is my future wife, the love of my life?"
Hearing this statement, Lin Fan laughed disdainfully, "Haha... I really never realized you could be such an infatuated fool, so hopelessly devoted to a mere substitute!"
This remark from Lin Fan deeply touched the rawest nerve in Lin Fan’s heart!
Lin Fan lashed out, "Lin Fan, your life is doomed to be a tragedy!"
Lin Fan replied with a sneer, "I don’t need you to judge me!"
"Lin Fan, I’m your father! How can you talk to me like that!" Lin Fan shouted sternly.
"So what?" Lin Fan retorted defiantly as he faced Lin Fan, "I’ve already abandoned you long ago, do you still expect fatherly love from me, do you even deserve it?"
"You!" Lin Fan trembled with anger.
That was the most painful sore spot in his heart!
"What about me?" Lin Fan cast a disdainful look at Lin Fan, "I’ll tell you, from now on, you’re no longer my father! I will take mother and live our own lives together! I don’t want to see you!"
After saying these words, Lin Fan directly stepped out of the room.
Seeing Lin Fan like this, Lin Fan was so angry that his complexion turned ashen, his fists clenched tight, his fingernails digging into his flesh.
But to avoid exposing his own weakness, Lin Fan had to restrain himself!
