Chapter 396: Reading Xiao Xuan’s Diary
“Huh?” Lin Li asked.
“Yep.” Lin Qingwan nodded gently, “I read it.”
“It was only after reading this diary that I realized how different Xiao Xuan is from what I remember, and also learned how much he suffered in our Lin Family.”
“Xiao Xuan never had a single good day in our Lin Family. We Lin Family have wronged him. I wanted to make up for it, but Xiao Xuan didn’t give me any chance.”
As she spoke, Lin Qingwan’s eyes became slightly moist.
So that’s how it is.
Lin Li clenched his fists tightly.
No wonder Lin Qingwan and Lin Qingyan changed their attitudes towards Lin Xuan so drastically; it was because of the diary.
Lin Qingwan’s gaze fell again on Lin Qingxiu, who looked utterly disdainful.
“Xiuer, you must finish reading this diary today!”
Otherwise, with Xiuer’s personality, if Xiao Xuan really attended the wedding, she might embarrass Xiao Xuan.
That’s something she didn’t want to see.
Lin Qingyan said, “Third Sister, I know why you hate Xiao Xuan so much. If you read this diary, I believe it will change your perspective.”
“Fine, I’ll read it,” Lin Qingxiu smirked lightly, “I’m curious what Lin Xuan could possibly write in here.”
Lin Li’s hand trembled.
Lin Qingwan and Lin Qingyan changed their attitudes towards Lin Xuan drastically after reading this diary.
If Lin Qingxiu reads it too, then…
Had he known about the existence of this diary, he would have destroyed it.
Even though Lin Li didn’t want to, at this point, he had no choice but to pass the diary to Lin Qingxiu.
Lin Qingxiu initially had an indifferent attitude.
But as she read the first part, her brows gradually furrowed.
Lin Qingyan watched Lin Qingxiu’s expression and couldn’t help but think of herself. She had the same expression when she first read the diary.
If it weren’t for this diary, she probably would have misunderstood Xiao Xuan forever.
“Third Sister, just skip to this page.”
Lin Qingyan flipped the diary to the page recording Lin Qingxiu’s events.
“We’ve really misunderstood Xiao Xuan too much,” Lin Qingyan said, her voice trembling slightly.
She turned around and wiped away the tears streaming down her face with a tissue.
At this moment, Lin Qingxiu still felt quite disdainful towards Lin Xuan.
If her life was so miserable, why didn’t she speak up? Whose fault is it?
Lin Qingxiu started flipping through the page Lin Qingyan opened.
[“Great! Today, Third Sister is taking me out to play. It seems like she’s taking me shopping for clothes.”]
Lin Qingxiu tightened her grip on the diary, her eyes darkening.
This was Lin Xuan’s third day back.
Mom and Dad and the two sisters were busy, so they asked her to take Lin Xuan out to buy clothes.
Reluctantly, she agreed.
On the way to buying clothes, a car accident happened.
Lin Xuan abandoned her and left.
Since then, she hasn’t given Lin Xuan a good look.
She kindly took Lin Xuan out to buy clothes, but Lin Xuan abandoned her at a critical moment.
She doesn’t have such a heartless younger brother!
Having read this far, Lin Qingxiu impatiently prepared to throw the diary aside and stop reading.
Lin Qingyan grabbed Lin Qingxiu’s wrist.
“Third Sister, keep reading.”
Lin Qingxiu frowned, “Big Sister, Second Sister, I don’t get it. Why do you insist I read this diary? The day after tomorrow is Lier’s wedding. Shouldn’t we focus all our time and energy on Lier’s wedding?”
“Rather than wasting time on these trivial matters!”
“Keep reading,” Lin Qingyan repeated.
Even if Lin Xuan wanted to expose the truth, there’s no evidence.
Just talking about such an unbelievable thing, everyone wouldn’t believe him.
Thinking this, Lin Li’s worries eased somewhat.
“But if Xiao Xuan really comes,” Lin Qingwan reminded them again uneasily, “Remember my words, be nice to Xiao Xuan.”
“Okay,” Lin Li nodded obediently.
Lin Qingwan trusted Lin Li. Little Li has always been sensible since childhood.
However…
Lin Qingwan’s gaze fell on Lin Qingxiu.
“Understood,” she responded half-heartedly.
Lin Qingwan frowned.
Still uneasy about Lin Qingxiu, she pulled Lin Qingxiu upstairs.
“Come with me.”
“What are you doing, Big Sister?” Lin Qingxiu frowned.
Lin Qingwan didn’t answer. Recalling something, she turned back and asked, “Yan’er, is the diary with you?”
“Yes,” Lin Qingxiu nodded, “It’s in my room. I’ll go fetch it.”
Hurriedly, she rushed upstairs.
Lin Li frowned.
Diary?
What diary?
Curious, he followed her upstairs.
“Big Sister, here you go.” Lin Qingyan handed over the diary to Lin Qingwan.
This diary had been repeatedly read by Lin Qingyan.
She knew its contents inside out.
After Lin Qingwan received the diary, she handed it over to Lin Qingxiu.
“What is this?” Lin Qingxiu frowned, confused.
Lin Qingwan replied, “Xiao Xuan’s diary.”
Hearing Lin Xuan’s name, Lin Qingxiu’s first reaction was resistance.
“I won’t read it.” Lin Qingxiu pushed Lin Qingwan’s hand away.
“I don’t have the time or patience to read Lin Xuan’s diary.”
Impatient, Lin Qingxiu sat down on the sofa.
Every time she encountered Lin Xuan, things went south.
The car accident was like that, and this time treating the patient was similar!
“Third Sister,” Lin Qingyan couldn’t help but interject, “There’s a lot recorded here. You should really give it a read.”
“I’m too lazy to bother.”
Lin Qingxiu crossed her arms and rolled her eyes.
Lin Li clenched his fists.
A diary, Lin Xuan actually left behind a diary!
“Big Sister, can I take a look first?” Lin Li asked.
“Sure.”
Lin Qingwan nodded and handed the diary to Lin Li.
Lin Li flipped through its pages.
His expression grew darker and darker.
Lin Xuan truly had deep intentions!
He left without a word, yet deliberately left such a diary in the Lin family.
Was he planning to make the Lin family feel guilty so he could return?
“Big Sister,” Lin Li forced a smile, “I didn’t expect Brother to have suffered so much in the past. It’s all my fault, I stole his life.”
“Little Li, how could it be your fault?” Lin Qingwan consoled softly, “Even without you, Xiao Xuan would have been kidnapped back then.”
Lin Qingwan genuinely regarded Lin Li as her own younger brother.
Ever since Xiao Xuan returned to the Lin family, Little Li became extra cautious in the Lin household, which made her feel uneasy.
“Li’er, you’re part of our Lin family. Don’t think too much,” Lin Qingwan continued to comfort him.
“Alright,” Lin Li nodded gratefully, “Thank you, Big Sister.”
“Big Sister, Second Sister, both of you have read this diary written by Brother?”
