"I think he regrets not having your grandma to take care of him anymore, he's far away."
After marriage
We've changed three nannies for him, but he wasn't satisfied with any of them. Now he's unhappy with the new one and wants your dad to find him another one.
"It's not that simple, is it?"
"That's right, they've been here for almost an hour, and they've been cursing your dad the whole time."
Lin Tingyue asked with a smile, "Is Mom feeling sorry for you?"
"Are you asking for a beating? You even dare to tease your mother," Bai Yaxin pinched Lin Tingyue's cheek and snorted. "I don't feel sorry for him. I can feel sorry for him about anything, but not this."
Lin Rusong is a good person in every way, his only flaw is that he always loses his composure when it comes to the old man's affairs.
Bai Yaxin couldn't be bothered to feel sorry for him.
Instead of wasting her time, she should spend more time caring for her daughter.
" Qingqing and your Auntie Feng left?"
"Um."
"Very nice."
"Mom, if you'd like, how about we go out and play together another day?"
"Okay, let's have a mother-daughter get-together with your sister."
Lin Tingyue smiled and said, "Okay."
Lin Tingyue didn't realize that Bai Yaxin was deliberately imitating her until she had almost finished drinking the water in her cup.
The visuals are very impactful.
Bai Yaxin wore a cheongsam with a fur shawl over it, looking elegant and beautiful, but at the same time, she also seemed to have a strong sense of stealth.
Lin Tingyue was both amused and exasperated. "Mom, why are you copying me?"
"So cute, so slow, just like a sloth in the zoo."
Lin Tingyue: "..."
Was her mother praising her?
Something about that sounded a bit off to her.
"Alright," Bai Yaxin ruffled Lin Tingyue's hair, "What do you want to eat?"
"It will be all right..."
Bai Yaxin heartbroken, gave Lin Tingyue a cookbook.
Lin Tingyue: Stunned (jpg)
Is this how I've always been perceived by my mother?
sloth?
Eat a lot?
Lin Tingyue wrinkled her nose, but still happily opened the recipe book. She had only read two pages when a commotion suddenly broke out in the living room.
Lin Tingyue and Bai Yaxin ran out--
"Don't think I don't know that you and your wife instigated Yinan to leave me!"
"Alright," Lin Rusong said angrily, "Dad, you can say whatever you want about me, but you can't say anything bad about Yaxin."
"Can't I say it yet? Is Bai Yaxin a precious gem?"
[Mom is my precious little gem, so what?]
[I'm going to buy my mom a whole room full of precious gold nuggets to keep there!]
Even though she was being scolded, Bai Yaxin was practically grinning from ear to ear.
Seeing that his wife had been appeased by their daughter, Lin Rusong worried that Lin Hong might say something Bai Yaxin wouldn't like to hear and upset her, so he simply said, "Dad, let me take you home first."
"When did I say I was going back? You... you... Lin Rusong, you..."
Lin Rusong pushed Lin Hong out, and even though the old man almost broke his cane from using it, Lin Rusong didn't stop.
"You unfilial sons! I'd rather have given birth to a few pieces of barbecued pork than to you!"
How can a person be born to make char siu (barbecued pork)?
Upon hearing this, Lin Rusong spoke before he could think, blurting it out. Lin Hong's cursing voice even stopped for a few seconds due to shock.
He then grumbled and cursed as Lin Rusong shoved him into the car.
On the way, Lin Rusong received a call from Lin Jiaxin. She, Lin Ruqiao, and Lin Ruzhi were all at the old house. They had originally come to visit the old man together, but when they arrived, they found that the new housekeeper had actually brought her husband and son with her.
Lin Rusong took Lin Hong back to his old house, and seeing what was happening before him, he decisively chose to call the police.
When the police arrived, the woman's son was still saying, "Do you think your family can fit everyone in so many houses? Why don't we help the Lin Family here for a while?"
After looking at his ID card, the police officer said, "It's you again. How many times this month?"
The son's expression immediately crumbled; even as he was handcuffed, he continued to shout that he was innocent.
The police warned, "This family is repeat offenders. Every time the mother gets a job, the father is responsible for moving the employer's belongings, while the son gropes the woman of the house. You must be careful when you're looking for them."
Lin Rusong nodded. "Okay, thank you for your help, officer."
Lin Hong was so angry that he went upstairs to rest.
The siblings sat downstairs talking.
Lin Jiaxin, "Should we ask around to see if there are any good nannies around?"
Lin Ruzhi said, "If all else fails, let Dad coax Auntie Xu back."
Three pairs of eyes fell on him. Of the four people present, Lin Ruzhi the youngest. Suddenly being stared at by his older siblings, he awkwardly touched his face. "What's wrong? I'm just telling the truth!"
"What kind of truth is that? Wasn't it Dad who insisted on divorcing Auntie? Now that they're divorced, he wants to bring her back because there's no one to take care of her. What kind of logic is that?"
Seeing that Lin Jiaxin was really angry, Lin Ruzhi stammered, "I was just saying it casually."
"Just saying? Your daughter-in-law is about to marry into the family, can't you be a little more attentive?"
"... knew."
Lin Ruqiao said, "How about this, let's go back and ask around to see if there are any reliable nannies."
The three nodded.
When Lin Rusong returned home, Bai Yaxin and Lin Tingyue were setting the table. Lin Rusong glanced at them and asked, "Aren't Xiawan and Yuhuan coming home for dinner?"
"They're all on their way. Yuhuan is picking up Xiawan on the way."
The sound of a car parking in the yard rang out, and Bai Yaxin said happily, "Isn't this a sign of returning?"
"Then I'll go wash my hands and then come eat?"
"He washed his hands, and then came to help."
"Okay, whatever you say."
Bai Yaxin knew why Lin Rusong was acting this way; she was afraid Lin Rusong was still remembering what the old man had said, so she was still trying to comfort her.
"Alright, I'm not angry, you don't need to coax me like this."
"Are you really not angry?"
"Then it's better to cook it so it won't make you angry, right?"
Bai Yaxin gave Lin Rusong a push. Lin Yuhuan and Lin Xiawan came in, and Lin Yuhuan asked, "What's wrong?"
Bai Yaxin to herself, "Full of vitality, a good omen!"
Lin Yuhuan turned around and glanced at the desolate courtyard. Where was the vitality?
After sitting down, Lin Yuhuan said, "I just drove back, and it seems like someone from that building near the gate was kicked out."
Bai Yaxin paused. Her eldest son wasn't usually so gossipy, so why is he now...?
Lin Tingyue asked, "What happened?"
Their anticipation was practically leaping out of their eyes, and even Lin Xiawan's eyes were sparkling. Bai Yaxin finally understood: Lin Tingyue had single-handedly influenced the whole family.
Lin Yuhuan said, "I don't know either."
Lin Rusong recalled for a moment, "The building I entered... When I came back, that person was already outside, still banging on the door, but no one paid any attention to him."
Is this the end of the story?
Lin Tingyue wouldn't allow it.
It's time for her to make her move.
[Ah, he was kicked out by his mother's boyfriend.]
Chapter 98
Was it his mother's boyfriend?
What kind of complicated relationship is this?
[Wow, his own father was in the villa when he was kicked out!]
[Could it be that his biological father saw his mother with her boyfriend and felt betrayed, so the two men started arguing? Wait a minute... why kick him out then?]
Yes, the whole family's curiosity was piqued, and the dinner table was unusually quiet. When Mama Zhang came over, she was quite startled.
The Lin Family always has a harmonious atmosphere at mealtimes, so why is everyone so quiet today? Could it be that she didn't cook well?
Mama Zhang spoke hesitantly, "Madam, you..."
Bai Yaxin suddenly snapped out of her daze and looked at Mama Zhang kindly, asking, "What's wrong, Mama Zhang?"
Mama Zhang tentatively asked, "Madam, I wanted to ask how the food was today? Did everyone like it?"
Bai Yaxin asked curiously, "It suits you perfectly."
Mama Zhang's cooking was always impeccable. Bai Yaxin once thought that if Mama Zhang didn't work for their family, she could easily be a five-star chef.
Lin Tingyue, who had temporarily withdrawn from the melon patch, also started praising others.
Lin Tingyue smiled and said, " Mama Zhang, you're amazing! This sweet and sour pork with pineapple is especially delicious."
Mama Zhang was relieved.
But the Lin Family's curiosity hadn't subsided when the topic was brought up!
Bai Yaxin gestured to Lin Rusong, Lin Rusong in turn gestured to Lin Yuhuan Lin Yuhuan. Lin Yuhuan was probably thinking of a solution in his head. Lin Xiawan shook her head and decided to take matters into her own hands. "That building by the gate, they're probably having an argument, right?"
[Of course they argued! How could a mother not argue when she sees her son and his boyfriend lying in the same bed?]
Is it that exciting?
[This mother divorced her ex-husband ten years ago, but didn't win custody of her son. He's been living with his ex-husband ever since. Every winter and summer vacation, the mother would bring him to visit. This time, she brought him over partly to make amends, and partly to let her boyfriend get to know her son, hoping it wouldn't cause any resentment in the boy.]
Surprisingly, my son has been here for a week and is getting along very well with my boyfriend. They play games together, and my boyfriend also supervises my son while he does his homework.
[Mom was very pleased and decided to go to the supermarket to buy groceries and cook for her. Little did she know that when she returned, she would find that utterly disgusting scene in the bedroom!]
Putting myself in this mother's shoes, it felt like the sky was falling.
But how did this perfectly normal young man end up getting involved with his mother's boyfriend? Bai Yaxin.
[The mother was furious and kicked them both out of the house, also notifying her ex-husband to come and pick up their son.]
Why is only the son outside?
