d, both sour and painful."Alright, Linlin, I won't talk anymore. I'm leaving first and will be back in a few days." She zipped up her suitcase, suppressing the emotions within, and forced out a smile..."What else is there to do Come back with us." Lin's father replied with a stern face.

Lin Mu-xi widened her eyes, "Go back No, I won't go back!"

She backed away.

If she went back, how could she still be with Kankawa

Once she left, she wouldn't see Kankawa again!

A father knows his daughter best. How could Lin's father not see what Lin Mu-xi was thinking He snorted coldly and said, "If you don't go back, what can you do staying here Do you think staying here will let you be with Mr. Lu I tell you, it's impossible. Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu have a very good relationship, there's no way he would make a mistake. So just give up on your thoughts."

"I..." Lin Mu Xi choked.

She knew full well that Hanchuan loved Shi Yao very much.

It's just that she can't bear it.

Thinking about it, Lin Mu Xi squeezed her palms. "Dad, even if Hanchuan and Shi Yao have a good relationship, as long as I try my best, I don't believe Hanchuan won't fall in love with me, just like you and Mom back then..."

Bang!

As soon as she finished speaking, Father Lin's face darkened, and he slapped her across the face.

Lin Mu Xi screamed, fell to the ground, covering her face with her hands, staring at him in disbelief, "Dad, you hit me"

Mother Lin was also shocked by Father Lin's action. It took her a while to react and she quickly knelt down, pulling Lin Mu Xi up. She was both angry and heartbroken, "Yes, dear husband, what are you doing hitting our daughter You've never hit her from childhood to adulthood, and now you actually hit her! Look at her face, what have you done to it"

As she spoke, Mrs. Lin reached out to touch Lin Mu Xi's face.

Lin Mu Xi's tears fell large and heavy.

Lin's father watched her cry like that, his heart ached too. After all, she was the one he had raised and cared for since childhood. It would be strange if he didn't feel sorry for her.

But thinking about his daughter's words just now, he could only suppress the pain in his heart.

"You know I hit her, but you don't think about why I did it. Didn't you hear what she just said" Lin Fu pointed at Lin Mu Xi.

Mrs. Lin stiffened her neck and said, "I heard you. So what Did Mu Xi say wrong Even if Mr. Lu likes that Shi Yao now, who knows what will happen in the future Men are fickle and inconstant. They're all about the initial excitement. Once it wears off, they'll go back to their old ways. Wasn't that the case with you back then"

"You...... you......" Lin Fu trembled with rage.

Mother Lin still didn't think her words were wrong, and snorted coldly: “Didn’t you love your ex-wife deeply back then As a result, weren’t you still lured over by me So, men are all weak-willed. As long as Mu Xi spends more effort, she can definitely snatch Lu Dong away.”

Lin Mu-xi also nodded in agreement, clearly thinking her mother's words made sense.

Lin's father's face turned red with anger, "So this is how you raise your children, teaching them to be mistresses Not only do you not think it's wrong, but you are so brazen about it!"

If his own daughter truly had the ability to win over Mr. Lu, he wouldn't have to say these things.

But he could see clearly that Mu Xi couldn't compete, and there was even a possibility of offending both the Lu and Shi families at the same time, so he didn't want his daughter to fight for it.

After all, she is his daughter. He doesn't want his daughter to really become a mistress, or even a mistress who can't get someone.

"Wrong" Mrs. Lin crossed her arms. "Where did I go wrong Besides, what's a 'third party' In love, the one who is not loved is the third party. When Lu Dong falls in love with Mu Xi later on, that's when Yao becomes the third party. Do you understand"

"You..." Lin's father was so angry his face turned red and his neck was thick.

He already knew, this woman was impossible to reason with, her thoughts were simply not on the same wavelength as his.

And this woman's thoughts had been completely instilled in Mu Xi, making Mu Xi also feel that being a mistress was not only not shameful, but also an honorable thing.

Luckily, luckily he discovered it early. Otherwise, if the mother and daughter had caused even more trouble later, would his Lin family still have any face

Thinking about this, Lin Fu grabbed Lin Mu Xi's arm. "I really regret now why I listened to your mother back then and let her educate you, making you learn from her every single thing, being proud of becoming a mistress. If you could really get Mr. Lu, I wouldn't say anything, even if the outside world talked about our Lin family, I wouldn't care, after all, our Lin family benefited too, but!"

Mr. Lin paused for a moment before speaking again, "But you can't take Lu Dong away, and you still want to be his mistress The outside world will only say that the Lin family is poorly educated and will ridicule our family. So from today onwards, you return to the Lin family, and I will personally teach you. If I don't turn your values around, don't even think about leaving the house!"

After saying that, Mr. Lin directly grabbed Lin Mu Xi and put her in the car.

Lin Mu Xi was so frightened that she screamed.

Mrs. Lin hurriedly followed, "Old Lin, what are you doing Let go of Mu Xi quickly, you're hurting her."

Lin's father pretended not to hear, slammed the car door shut, and drove away.

As soon as the family of three left, Fu Xiaoyao found out.

She also learned about the conversation between the family of three in front of the police station. She sent someone to keep an eye on them, but that person recorded the entire conversation and sent it to her.

"Didn't expect this Head of the Lin family to still have some morals, knowing that being a third wheel is wrong, and planning to go back and educate Lin Mu-xi." Aunt Song sat beside Fu Xiao Yao, teasing Xiaobao while sighing.

Fu Xiaoyao took a sip of milk and smiled, "Three views I don't think he has any particular three views. He's just more clear-headed and rational than Lin Muhui and her daughter. He knows when to retreat."

"Madam, how do you say that" Aunt Song looked at her curiously.

Fu Xiaoyao shook her milk cup and replied, "You should have heard it just now. The head of the Lin family said that if Lin Muhi could really take away Hanchuan, he wouldn't say anything."

"I think there's a saying like that." Aunt Song nodded.

Fu Xiaoyao sarcastically raised her lips, "This means that if Lin Mu'xi could snatch He Hanchuan away, he would naturally be happy because in this way, the Lin family could soar with the help of the Lu family. But he also knew very well that Lin Mu'xi couldn't snatch He Hanchuan away and might even anger both the Shi family and the Lu family, so he stopped her from continuing as a mistress."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Song widened her eyes and said, "In that case, Master Lin is quite hypocritical."

“Indeed, he's both hypocritical and knows how to avoid danger. That’s why, despite having nothing going for him, Lin Family Head can keep the Lin Family going. He may not have the ability to expand his territory, but because he is cunning and good at adapting to changing situations, he can maintain the status quo.” Fu Xiaoyao explained.

Aunt Song curled her lips, "This kind of person, in ancient times, was a treacherous official like a weed clinging to the wall."

Fu Xiaoyao was amused, "You're right, but it's often these treacherous officials who live the longest."

"Oh, I really thought that Master Lin truly loved his daughter, Lin Mu Xi, and didn't want her to be a mistress. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be like this." Aunt Song sighed, feeling like her worldview had been shattered.

Fu Xiaoyao placed the milk cup on the tea table in front of her, "How to say... he's not that he doesn't love Lin Muhxi. If he truly didn't love her, knowing that Lin Muhxi owed so much money in China, he wouldn't even care, let alone personally go to China to help her pay it back. It's just that his love is limited."

"Madam, what do you mean" asked Aunt Song in confusion.

Fu Xiaoyao, rubbing her somewhat stiff neck, replied: "That means as long as Lin Muhxi doesn't do anything that threatens the interests of the Lin family or himself, he doesn't mind being a doting father and spoiling Lin Muhxi and her mother."Xiao Bao's parents have bribed Dr. Shao too" Qiao Mu exclaimed in surprise.Lu Hanchuan remained noncommittal. "Although I haven't seen Xiao Bao, Shao Si Nian has told me about his current situation.""...
