Chapter 321: Betrayal and separation
The atmosphere between the Wang and Lin families did not become more relaxed with Wang Lin's return. Instead, it became a bit weird.
Li Anhe and his wife looked at the youngsters who had no appetite and doubts flashed across their faces.
Li Anhe glanced at his second son who was eating with big mouthfuls, and frowned slightly.
Then, she looked at her little granddaughter sitting next to her and asked softly, "Qing Jie'er used to be the one who was most attached to Second Uncle. Now that Second Uncle is back, why don't you sit next to him?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yining looked up at Wang Lin and happened to meet his flattering gaze. She quickly turned her eyes away and looked at her grandmother with the most sincere eyes, saying seriously, "Second Uncle looks scary. Qing Jie is afraid that if she sits next to him, she will have trouble sleeping at night."
Li Anhe glanced at Er'er, nodded in agreement, and said with a smile, "Sister Qing is right. It is indeed scary."
Wang Lin:......
He kept silent, lowered his head and continued to rudely eat his third bowl of rice. The more he talked, the more mistakes he made. The lesson he learned in the afternoon was enough to make him alert.
At this time, Wang Ersheng also coaxed Xiao Yining lovingly, "Your second uncle's face really affects your meal. He makes you lose your appetite. Tomorrow, grandpa will take you to Huichunlou for a meal. I will make sure you have a delicious meal."
When Xiao Yining heard this, he immediately smiled at this unexpected surprise. Just as he was about to speak, the glutton Wang Lin spoke first.
He was surprised and said, "Dad, how could you take Sister Qing there? Huichunlou is a brothel."
Everyone fell silent immediately, even stopping eating.
Those who knew that Wang Lin was different silently looked away, only Wan Niang whispered a reminder, "Second brother, don't say anything."
Unfortunately, it was too late. Li Anhe and his wife looked at their two sons with curiosity in their eyes.
Wang Ersheng spoke first, "Lin Zi, you are the first person in our family to go to Huichunlou for dinner."
Wang Lin’s face was swollen and his expression could not be seen, but his eyes were full of disbelief.
The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. In the end, Wang Lin couldn’t keep his mouth shut.
Li Anhe put down his chopsticks, held his granddaughter in his arms, and said to Er'er in a calm tone, "You spent a lot of money at that time. Because of this, Sister Qing cried for three days."
Hearing this, four big words immediately flashed in Xiao Yining’s mind: “Wang Lin is finished.”
Wan Niang and the two little ones were also trying their best to wink at the "blind man".
Wang Lin glanced past them without expecting anything, and then said shyly, "Mom, I'm a man, and this is inevitable."
Li Anhe took a deep breath, nodded calmly, and said to her husband in a slightly cold tone, "Brother Sheng, throw this man out. This is not our son."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Lin looked at his mother in shock and said in disbelief, "Mom, I'm your son. Can't you even recognize your own son?"
Wan Niang also hurriedly chimed in, "Mother, my second brother told me during the day that he had lost his memory, so it's normal that he doesn't remember what happened in Huichun Tower."
Li Anhe glanced at his daughter sharply and sneered, "Amnesia, do you think your parents are stupid? Will amnesia change their temperament? Even dogs can't forget to eat shit. Since he sat here, has he ever given Sister Qing a look? Has he ever given a look to the younger generation here?"
Little Yining in her arms was numb: Second uncle may be a dog, but she is not shit, thank you.
Pei Yi and Wang Gungun were speechless when they heard this.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yining dreamed of the scene where the child was abandoned in Linjia Village.
No large audience
No fire rack
Only Wang Lin told his childhood stories to prove his identity and there were audiences watching his performance.
Li Anhe and his wife sat at the top, listened to every word, and looked at each other with complicated expressions.
Li Anhe frowned slightly and said, "Wang Lin, mother asks again, where have you been these three days?"
Wang Lin lowered his head and didn't dare to look up, but he still kept on saying what he had said during the day, "Mom, I went to the outskirts of the hunting ground for a few days."
"No prey at all?" Li Anhe asked with raised eyebrows.
Wang Lin shook his head regretfully and said, "Mother, I heard that there was a white tiger hurting people near the Drum Tower. I was anxious and left without saying goodbye. I searched for it for a few days but couldn't find any trace of it."
Li Anhe was so angry that he laughed. "Big White? I didn't expect that the saying 'When you haven't seen someone for three days, you should look at them with new eyes' would be proven true on my son. You look like this now, and even your parents don't dare to recognize you."
When she saw her second son looking up with doubtful eyes, she looked back at him with cold eyes, lowered her head slightly and instructed the little granddaughter in her arms, "Qing Jie'er, tell your second uncle where the white tiger is."
Little Yining's sad eyes slowly swept over everyone at the scene, and finally fell back on Wang Lin, and said truthfully: "Second uncle, the big white tiger was on the drum tower with my uncle. You saw it that day."
Wang Lin's bruised face faded visibly. He stared blankly at the little girl in front of him, as if he couldn't believe what she said.
At this time, Li Anhe said coldly: "Do you want me to tell you where your cousin's white tiger came from? It was you who picked it up outside the hunting grounds last year, and Qingjie gave it to your cousin as a birthday gift."
Wang Lin was speechless and could only explain dryly, "Mom, I forgot..."
"forget?"
Li Anhe stared at Er'er fiercely. "Can a simple "I forgot" be enough to make up for your repeated deceptions of our parents? You refused to reveal even a single detail of your whereabouts for three whole days?"
At this time, Wang Ersheng, who had been silent all the time, patted his wife's arm in a soothing manner, sighed heavily, and said, "My son has grown up... He has his own ideas... Zhizhi, you have always been worried about Linzi. It's a good thing that he has become more thoughtful now. Don't force him."
Li Anhe angrily retorted, "He is cunning, but he has set his sights on his family and even deceived us."
"This is not a good start." Wang Ersheng looked at his second child indifferently, then at the younger generation beside him. His daughter's face already showed sadness, and the other two also looked worried.
He took one last look at his little granddaughter, whose heartbroken face looked extremely pitiful.
Seeing this, Wang Ersheng's face showed a serious look for the first time, and he said to his second son, "My mother and I are both open-minded people. Since you insist on covering up the matter of the past three days, we will follow your will."
"But you need to remember that we are your family. If you don't want to talk, just say so. No one is forcing you. Don't lie and make your family sad."
Wang Lin felt relieved, forced a smile and nodded in agreement.
His response attitude did not satisfy Wang Ersheng, and he even sensed a hint of perfunctoriness.
He narrowed his eyes, stared at Wang Lin and said sternly, "If you do it again, your mother and I will not have you as a child, and we won't have to divide the family. You just get out of my Wang family."
The sound was deafening, causing everyone to look at him in surprise.
However, what happened next made them even more shocked and dumbfounded.
Wang Lin could not accept it and said, "How could Dad ask me to get out? Shouldn't you ask Wang Cheng to get out? He is not your child."
The air seemed to freeze completely at this moment, and everyone's eyes were fixed on him, with expressions that could no longer be described as shocking.
Little Yining burst into tears at this moment, struggling to leave her grandmother’s arms, ran to Wang Lin’s legs and beat them hard, crying, “You are not my second uncle at all, give my second uncle back to me, give my second uncle back to me, I don’t want you…”
“Qing Jie’er…” Wan Niang hugged her daughter distressedly, and then asked Wang Lin with great pain, “Second brother, you clearly remember everything about your childhood, why did you let Dad drive Big Brother away? Big Brother raised you!”
Pei Yi couldn't accept what he said and said coldly, "Brother Lin, Brother Cheng is always so nice to you. You are being too disrespectful."
Wang Gungun pursed his lips tightly and looked at Wang Lin with an indescribable expression, not daring to say a word.
At this moment, a cry of surprise came from Li Anhe's mouth, "Brother Sheng...what's wrong with you?"
Everyone looked at Wang Ersheng immediately, and saw a stream of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
Wang Ersheng calmly waved his hand to signal everyone not to get close, then wiped the blood with his thumb, spat out a mouthful of blood, and said coldly, "I never thought that I, Wang Ersheng, would give birth to such a thing that is worse than pigs and dogs. When I saw that you looked like your grandfather, I should have drowned you instead of keeping you until now to piss me off to death."
