Chapter 367: Chapter 359: _2
Manager Guan’s beautiful and smart eyes sparkled slightly, and she hooked her lips, saying, “Hehe, of course they wouldn’t admit it. Unless they come up with evidence.”
Xiao Junxuan also came across the news about Lin Xiaoxiao being kidnapped and sold and rushed to the hospital ward with concern.
He worries that Lin Xiaoxiao would see those bad comments on the Internet, get angry, indignant, and even break down.
After all, she’s still an innocent girl, yet she’s being pointed and cursed by a thousand people online. If her mental state is slightly fragile, she might crumble.
When he arrived at the ward and saw all the people inside, he was surprised by their expressions.
“Grandma, maternal grandmother, Mom, how come you are all here?”
That’s right, Grandma Xiao, maternal grandmother, and Xiao’s mother also came.
While they were working, they heard the tourists discussing the news about Lin Xiaoxiao being kidnapped and sold, and they immediately thought of Xiao Junxuan’s girlfriend, Lin Xiaoxiao.
There are many people named Lin Xiaoxiao in the country, but currently, only one named Lin Xiaoxiao has been kidnapped and sold.
They worried that Lin Xiaoxiao would be upset by the news, so they immediately put down their work to come and comfort her.
However, Lin Xiaoxiao’s mental state is good, very optimistic, and not affected by the news at all. Of course, it’s also because the news is quickly deleted and there hasn’t been a widespread impact.
Grandma Xiao glanced at him, not in a good mood and said, “Are you the only one allowed to visit Xiaoxiao and not us?”
Xiao Junxuan immediately defended, “Grandma, that’s not what I meant.”
Maternal grandmother said, “Hehe, Little Xuan, we all miss Xiaoxiao, so we came to visit!”
Xiao Junxuan, “…” They clearly come to visit every day.
Xiao’s mother smiled and said, “Seeing Xiaoxiao’s rosy complexion and good spirits, we can rest assured!”
Lin Chengdong looked at the three women who had suddenly rushed into the ward, ignoring him, and was full of surprise.
Who are these three people?
Before he could react, Xiao Junxuan returned and then greeted them.
Upon hearing Xiao Junxuan’s greeting, Lin Chengdong’s entire demeanor changed.
Grandma, maternal grandmother, and Mom?
Are they blood-related or related by marriage?
These weren’t too young to be sure.
The ages of these two old ladies seemed to be around fifty or sixty, similar in age to him. And they are Xiao Junxuan’s grandma and maternal grandmother?.
Moreover, this Nationally Stunning woman in her early thirties is Xiao Junxuan’s mother? Isn’t she his biological sister?
Xiao’s mother saw that Lin Xiaoxiao’s condition was good and put down her worries.
Then she noticed that there were other people in the ward besides Su Yichen and Xiao Junxuan, and she was slightly surprised.
Then, she glanced at Lin Chengdong and asked, “Little Xuan, who is this guest?”
Xiao Junxuan immediately introduced, “Mom, this is Uncle Lin, Xiaoxiao’s dad.”
Before Xiao’s mother could greet him, the maternal grandmother began to exclaim.
“What, this is Xiaoxiao’s confused dad?”
Lin Chengdong,
Confused dad, is that the evaluation of him by the Xiao family?
Lin Xiaoxiao chuckled and said, “That’s right, maternal grandmother, this is my silly father.”
Lin Chengdong glared at his crooked-arm daughter.
Grandma Xiao stepped up to shield her and frowned doubtfully, “I heard that you are a very shrewd businessman in the shopping mall, so how could you be so confused in dealing with your two daughters’ affairs?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Chengdong revealed a bitter smile on his face, and he explained, “I’m not confused, Old lady. I always trust my own judgment, and I never saw anyone in the wrong. Who would have thought that I couldn’t even understand a ten-year-old child?
A ten-year-old child framed my biological daughter and used her superb acting skills to fool me. This deception lasted for seventeen or eighteen years, and I never doubted her. If it weren’t for Xiaoxiao’s disappearance, which led me to start doubting, I might have been believing her the whole time.”
After hearing his explanation, the maternal grandmother didn’t understand at all, and she directly and sharply said,
“I don’t know whether your judgment is wrong or not. If it were me, I would definitely trust the child I had raised for several years more than the child I met for the first time.
So, it’s not a matter of judgment, but favoritism. This kind of favoritism is accompanied by guilt and a compensatory mentality, and this mentality naturally shifts to the biological daughter, thinking that it’s okay if her biological daughter suffers a little, as long as the good woman’s daughter doesn’t suffer any grievance.
As a result, you subconsciously ignore the unreasonable aspects. This neglect has caused your biological daughter to suffer for more than a decade. Is this confusion? I think you’re not confused at all, but rather, you’re sacrificing your daughter for the sake of compensating that child.”
After hearing the maternal grandmother’s words, Lin Chengdong’s face turned pale, and he frowned subconsciously.
He now vaguely realizes that it was perhaps that mentality back then that created the ambitious, greedy, and selfish Lin Wanqing that exists today.
If he had chosen to trust his biological daughter and educate Lin Wanqing properly, perhaps Lin Wanqing would be a different person today.
He was wrong, completely wrong.
Lin Chengdong’s face was very ugly, filled with remorse and guilt.
He looked at Lin Xiaoxiao and admitted his mistake for the first time, saying, “Xiaoxiao, the old lady is right. If I had chosen to trust you the first time and properly educated Lin Wanqing when she made a mistake, perhaps, you and Lin Wanqing wouldn’t have ended up in this life-and-death situation. It’s my fault for not trusting the child I raised with my own hands.”
Lin Xiaoxiao’s eyes turned red.
At this point, Xiao’s mother stepped in and said, “Mr. Lin, what’s done is done, and we can only choose to have a more open mindset. Those who harm others will ultimately be punished. It’s already the greatest lucky that Xiaoxiao is safely back now, and we as a family still have to live well in the future.”
