Tang Yi's voice softened.Fu Xiaoyao shook her head, just about to speak, when a chilling voice suddenly rang out from behind her. “Whether or not I love my wife is none of your concern, Mr. Tang,” Lu...After saying this, Mr. Lin got up and went to the washroom, leaving Mrs. Lin alone, feeling helpless.

What should I do, my husband wants to keep Mu Xi in the country!

Lin's mother gripped her phone tightly, completely at a loss of what to do.

She thought that since she helped Mu Xi stay in the country, the old man would definitely stay with her and her daughter.

I never expected the old man to be so stubborn, refusing to stay in the country. He even threatened that Mu Xi would have to stay here for her entire life.

If that were truly the case, what would Mu Xi do

Thinking about this, Lin's mother had no choice but to take her phone to the balcony and call Lin Muhi.

Lin Mu Xi's phone call went through very quickly, she wasn't off as she had just said.

Lin Muhui's voice came, "Mom."

"Mu Xi, where are you now" Lin's mother asked hurriedly.

Lin Muhxi glanced at her surroundings, opened her mouth to speak, but ultimately decided against revealing her location. She vaguely replied, "I'm outside, Mom. What's up"

A mother knows her daughter best. How could Lin Mu's mother not guess that Lin Mu-xi was unwilling to reveal her location Feeling anger mixed with a tinge of sadness.

This daughter, she doesn't even trust her own mother.

"Your dad has woken up and is asking about you. He wants you to call him and come back home with us. If you don't want to..."

"I don't want to know what will happen to my dad," Lin Mu-xi tightened her grip on the phone.

Mother Lin glanced into the room and whispered back, “Your father said that if you don't return to China, you won't be allowed to come back ever again.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Muhi's pupils shrank slightly, and a flicker of fear flashed in her eyes.

But soon, she regained her composure. "Mom, it's okay. Dad was just angry and said some harsh words in the heat of the moment."

"Mother Lin sighed, "I also hope your father was just blowing off steam. Then our mother-daughter duo wouldn't have to worry about anything. But Mu Xi, you don't understand your father well enough. He's not as easygoing as he seems. When he makes up his mind, he's truly ruthless."

When she said that, Lin Muhi's heart started to feel uneasy again.

"Mom, is it really true" she asked nervously.

"It's true, you don't know. When I was carrying you, your dad's previous wife was also pregnant. She had a miscarriage later and gave birth to a son. She said she didn't want him, so your dad is really heartless. Mu Xi, listen to me, let's go back first and don't confront your dad." Lin mother advised.

Lin Mu Xi's heart fluttered a bit, but quickly she took a deep breath and dismissed the feeling, "Mom, it's okay. Dad only has me as his daughter now, he couldn't possibly really abandon me."

"That's what I'm worried about, but I'm afraid your father will bring the child back." Mother Lin had a headache.

Lin Mu-xi now dared not guarantee anything, biting her lip, "But Mom, I really can't go back. The moment I return, I might never be able to come back again. I can't bear to leave Hanchuan."

"Do you really want that bastard back in the Lin family" Lin's mother was angry now, furious at her daughter's stubbornness.

If that bastard were really brought back to the Lin family, where would she, as his wife, even stand!

"Mom, if I have to take him back, just let me take him back." Lin Mu Xi said biting her lip.

Mother Lin's eyes widened, "What Do you know what you're saying"

"I know, I know, Mom, your concerns. But so what As long as I become the wife of Hanchuan, I am the mistress of the Lu family, and you are the mother of the mistress. Then, the Lin family will have to look up to us. We won't have to worry about others anymore." Lin Mu Xi was drawing blueprints, her eyes full of manic determination.

She had never considered the possibility that she wouldn't become the mistress of the house.

Because in her view, that was impossible.

And Lin's mother was moved by her words, thinking carefully about it, she realized it was true. The anger in her heart gradually subsided, "What you said makes sense."

"So Mom, just stop trying to convince me to go back." Lin Mu-xi said.

Lin's mother hesitated for a few seconds, but ultimately she couldn't resist the allure of her blueprint. She nodded, "Okay."

"Thank you, Mom," Lin Muhxi smiled.

Lin Mu strained a smile, "Muxi, because of your few words, I've already staked everything. So you must succeed, you must marry Mr. Lu, only then will our efforts be worthwhile. Otherwise, the consequences for my daughter and me would be nothing. You understand, right"

"I understand, I will." Lin Muhxi narrowed her eyes.

Lin's mother hummed in response, "Alright then, I'll hang up first. Your father is almost done washing up."

"Goodbye," Lin Muhui said her farewell.

Lin's mother also replied with a sentence, then hung up the phone and went back to her room.

Lin's father looked at her, "What have you been up to"

Mom Lin shook her phone, “Didn’t I ask you to contact Mu Xi So I tried calling Mu Xi again.”

"Still can't get through" Lin Father frowned.

Lin Mu's eyes flickered for a moment, then she lowered her head. "Yes, that child Mu Xi refuses to turn on her phone, she's afraid we'll find her."

"Humph, since that's the case, then she can stay in the country. If she wants to drag the Lin family into hell, then I might as well pretend she's not my daughter." Mr. Lin said coldly.

Even though Lin's mother had mentally prepared herself, hearing this still caused her to flinch and stiffen. "Husband," she said, her voice trembling, "are you really so heartless"

“Am I heartless” Father Lin chuckled coldly, “Isn’t that the rebellious daughter the heartless one I told her, she couldn’t possibly win over Mr. Lu and would only offend both the Lu and Shi families, but she wouldn’t listen. She had to run headfirst into this wall, trying to drag our family down to hell. So for the sake of our family, I can only give up on her.”

"What if the Lin family is alright" Mrs. Lin still held out hope at this moment.

Lin Fu looked at her like she was an idiot. "Do you think that's possible"

Of course, it's possible. What if Mu Xi really married Mr. Lu successfully Then our Lin family...

"You're being too idealistic!" Father Lin interrupted her without hesitation. "Even if Mu Xi succeeds, what about our family then Do you think the former Miss Shi, who was replaced by Mu Xi, will let us off the hook Will her powerful Shi family just give up I tell you, that's impossible. The Shi family will first target our Lin family, and then go after the Lu family."

"My goodness!" Mrs. Lin exclaimed, covering her mouth in surprise.

She really didn't think of this.

If that's really the case, then Mu Xi's plan was wrong from the start, wasn't it

What should she do Call Mu Xi again and ask her to give up and return home with them

No, it's impossible. Mu Xi, that child, is very stubborn and will definitely not give up.

So, are they really going to just leave Mu Xi all alone in the country

"What are you thinking" Father Lin looked at Mother Lin disapprovingly.

Mother Lin's face was a little pale. "I... I was thinking about Mu Xi. If the end of things really comes to blows between our families, if they go after Mu Xi, what should she do Even if Mu Xi ends up with Mr. Lu in the end, can Mr. Lu truly protect her"

Mr. Lin also fell silent. After a while, he squinted his eyes, as if he had made up his mind. He said in a deep voice: "So, for the sake of the Lin family, the only way now is to give up Mu Xi."

"Husband..." Lin's mother felt a pang in her heart.

"I understand you're hurting, do I not feel the same She's my daughter, one I've cherished for nearly thirty years. But there's nothing I can do; she's too stubborn. I can't abandon our family for her sake. I hope you understand."

After that, he ignored Lin's mother and took out his phone to call Lu Hanchuan.

He wants to make his determination clear to Lu Hanchuan.e there right away!" Lu Hanchuan's body was enveloped in a chill as he hung up the phone. He opened a drawer, grabbed the car keys inside, and strode out of his office.Thirty minutes later.He hurried...
