Chapter 263: Their Fates Have Reversed
Lin Qingwan stepped in to stop Jiang Shuqin, “Mom, look carefully. This is Xiaoli, your beloved son, not Wang Yajun’s son.”
My most beloved son?
Jiang Shuqin paused her hand mid-air, staring at the blood marks she had scratched onto Lin Li’s face, suddenly snapping back to reality.
“Li’er, it was Mom who made a mistake. I’m so sorry.” She tenderly touched the wounds on Lin Li’s face with concern.
Lin Li let out a sigh of relief.
Looks like this Lin family still doesn’t know his true identity.
Phew, phew, just a false alarm.
But why did Jiang Shuqin react so strongly about his mom? As if calling his mom a tramp?
Lin Li felt an ominous sensation deep inside.
“Big Sister, what exactly happened? Why did Mom react like that?”
Lin Qingwan worried that telling Lin Li everything would make him anxious.
But he would find out sooner or later.
Better short pain than long suffering.
“Xiaoli, Dad… Dad cheated on Mom.” Lin Qingwan sighed heavily.
She never imagined in a million years that Dad would cheat, considering how much he loved Mom and always kept himself clean.
Moreover, she never discovered any connection between Dad and Wang Yajun within the company.
“What?” Lin Li’s pupils suddenly contracted sharply, “Dad cheated?”
Realizing something, Lin Li anxiously grabbed Lin Qingwan’s hand and asked, “Who’s the person Dad cheated with? Mom mentioned Wang Yajun earlier. Could it be Wang Yajun Dad cheated with?”
“Yes, it’s her,” Lin Qingwan frowned deeply, “Mom treated her so well, regarded her as a good sister, even pitied her for taking care of her husband who was in a vegetative state and living in hardship, so she arranged for her to join Starlight Group.”
“Turns out, she’s ungrateful and betrayed Mom.”
Lin Li’s complexion turned deathly pale instantly.
Mom works as the Chairman Secretary in the company, which has been a great help to him. If she’s discovered having an affair with Dad, she’ll definitely be expelled from the company.
That would make it incredibly difficult for him to take over Starlight Group in a short period.
“Big Sister, how is Wang Yajun now?” Lin Li asked anxiously.
“She’s been locked up in prison, probably sentenced to several years,” Lin Qingwan replied.
“What?” Lin Li widened his eyes in shock, “She was only Dad’s cheating partner? That’s at most a moral issue. How could she end up in jail?”
Even if Dad found out about Mom’s involvement in the company, he would still have some feelings left and wouldn’t possibly throw her into jail.
So, what exactly happened?
Lin Qingwan answered, “Her husband became a vegetative state patient lying in bed for more than ten years because of a car accident she caused. It’s her getting what she deserved.”
After hearing all this, Lin Li nearly lost his balance standing.
His mom actually got thrown into jail…
“Li’er, your reaction seems off,” Lin Qingwan stared straight into Lin Li’s eyes.
Lin Li snapped back to reality. He pinched his palm hard, forcing himself to calm down.
He absolutely couldn’t let the Lin family suspect anything about his relationship with Wang Yajun.
“Big Sister,” Lin Li forced a smile, “I just can’t accept the fact that Dad cheated, especially with someone as nice as Wang Yajun. But Big Sister, could there be some misunderstanding here?”
“There’s no misunderstanding.”
Lin Qingwan shook her head, “Me, Second Sister, and Mom personally witnessed them rolling around in bed together. Dad even said he wanted to divorce Mom and marry Wang Yajun.”
Lin Li pursed his lips tightly.
It looks like there’s no turning back now.
“That’s indeed what she deserves,” Lin Li said solemnly.
“Big Sister, why did you suddenly go to Wang Yajun’s house?” Lin Li asked.
He felt like this wasn’t merely a coincidence.
He believed this whole thing was premeditated.
Mom is always very careful when handling things. How could she be so easily caught?
“It was Xiao Xuan,” Lin Qingwan pursed her lips.
“Brother?” Lin Li was taken aback, “What does Brother have to do with this?”
Lin Qingwan took a deep breath, “It was Xiao Xuan who led us to Wang Yajun’s house, saying he wanted to show us a good show. Including throwing Wang Yajun into jail, all these were orchestrated by Xiao Xuan.”
Lin Xuan again!
Lin Li clenched his fists tightly.
Ever since Lin Xuan’s wedding with Qin Ruoyao, everything changed. Lin Xuan was slipping further and further out of his control.
He originally thought that after Lin Xuan left the Lin family, he’d become utterly destitute and unable to rise again.
But Lin Xuan ended up hooking up with Su Hua, the richest tycoon in the Xia country.
Lin Xuan also founded Sky Canopy Group.
And Shen Qianqian is madly in love with Lin Xuan.
As for him, his engagement with the Shen family was dissolved due to his infidelity with Qin Ruoyao, ruining his reputation.
He was captured and suffered unbearable torture, eventually becoming a eunuch.
And now, his mom is in jail.
How could it come to this?
He feels like their fates have reversed. It should be Lin Xuan who ends up ruined, not him!
But don’t worry, it won’t be long.
Once Lin Xuan gets caught by the Black Net people, he’ll be finished for sure.
Lin Li’s eyes darkened.
He gathered his thoughts and frowned while asking, “Big Sister, how did Brother know about Dad and Wang Yajun’s affair?”
“How else?” Lin Qingyan snorted coldly, “He’s always harbored hatred towards our Lin family, wanting to get revenge on us.”
“He’s been keeping a close eye on our Lin family, trying to find something to make our family restless. Isn’t catching Dad and Wang Yajun together just the chance he was waiting for?”
Lin Qingwan’s voice dripped with disdain.
Even if Lin Xuan helped them catch the third party that disrupted their family, given his impure motives, they shouldn’t thank him!
“Alright, Second Sister, stop talking,” Lin Qingwan scolded.
Lin Qingyan rolled her eyes.
She didn’t say anything wrong!
Why is Big Sister yelling at her like that?
“Li’er,” Lin Qingwan spoke gently, “Mom loves you the most. She’s received such a heavy blow. Stay by her side and console her.”
“Big Sister, I will,” Lin Li nodded.
For the next two days, Lin Li stayed attentively by Jiang Shuqin’s side.
Lin Chang hasn’t returned yet.
After two days of Lin Li’s comforting, Jiang Shuqin’s mood finally improved a bit.
“Li’er,” Jiang Shuqin’s eyes brimmed with tears as she patted Lin Li’s hand, “Thank goodness you’re by Mom’s side. Otherwise, Mom wouldn’t know what to do.”
She was extremely grateful that she brought Li’er home back then.
This Li’er is truly the son sent to her by heaven.
“Mom, why are you saying these things? I should be grateful that you adopted me and treated me like your own son,” Lin Li smiled.
Thinking of something, he hesitated and said, “Mom, do you think what happened this time might have something to do with what the master said – that Brother is a disaster star…”
Saying this, he paused, shaking his head, “Never mind, I must be overthinking it.”
“Mom, I’ll go cook dinner for you first.”
Lin Li stood up and went to cook for Jiang Shuqin.
