Chapter 910: Chapter 617: Compromise

In the scorching heat, I caught a cold and have a runny nose, what a…

————————————–

It was impossible to sneak into the house quietly in broad daylight, so Lin Wenhang had no choice but to brace himself and greet everyone.

“Sit down, let’s have a family meeting.” Seeing Lin Wenhang trying to run upstairs after greeting everyone, Great Grandma Lin stopped him.

Lin Wenhang’s heart skipped a beat. Great-grandma usually didn’t interfere in the younger generation’s affairs, but once she did, it meant the matter was already decided.

Just as hope was beginning to dawn…

“Did you go to the Huang Family?” Great Grandma Lin asked.

“Yes,” Lin Wenhang nodded, “Huang Suai has agreed to give it a try with me. If it feels right, we’ll get married next year.”

“What, you’ve even set the wedding date?”

If a few words were omitted to become “Wedding date set?” Lin Wenhang would have been delighted. Unfortunately, the questioning tone, combined with the emphasized words, conveyed a completely different meaning.

The silence made the atmosphere even more oppressive. Not only Lin Wenhang, but Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan also felt uncomfortable. The conflict centered around Chuxia, and they couldn’t describe their feelings.

Even though he was recognized back into the Lin family, knowing that his biological parents were children of the Lin family, and knowing he was a lost child of the Lin Family of the Capital, until now, Lin Baohe didn’t truly feel like a member of the Lin Family of the Capital.

The feelings cultivated during his last stay at the Lin Family of the Capital had gradually faded over time. Facing such a scenario again this time, he felt even more distant from this family.

He even particularly hoped that this family visit would quickly end, and that he wouldn’t have to come back apart from festivals.

If their family caused the Lin family to break apart, he would feel guilty for a lifetime. He wanted to voice his thoughts, but his status kept him silent.

Unconsciously, he looked to his son-in-law for help, realizing in an instant that somehow he had started seeing his son-in-law as his main support.

Chuxia naturally noticed her father’s expression and could understand his feelings. But at this point, none of their family, including Zhou Mikang, could say anything; otherwise, it would be disrespecting Great Grandma Lin’s authority.

As for her personally, she felt the same as Lin Baohe and his wife, and she didn’t blame Lin Wenhang at all. Having loved someone for so long, finally seeing hope, it would be impossible for him to give up right away.

Or rather, if he could do that, it would only prove two things: One, he didn’t truly love Huang Suai, and two, he was a particularly heartless person.

The distress and pain of her son made Second Aunt Lin feel very distressed. If it were Old Master Lin or Old Lady Lin who spoke, she might have jumped in to say a few words for her son, but now, since it was Great Grandma Lin who spoke, she didn’t dare make a sound…

Having waited a long time without a response from Lin Wenhang, Great Grandma Lin grew impatient, and her tone became unconsciously stern: “I can clearly tell you now, Huang Suai agreeing to you isn’t really about liking you. What she is aiming for is what everyone thinks, isn’t that right? Yet you still want to be with her?”

“Great-grandma, she’s not that kind of person…” Knowing he could no longer avoid it, Lin Wenhang stood straight, determinedly looking at Great Grandma Lin, “She told me that Huang Xinjun is indeed forcing her to be with me, trying to use her to drive a wedge between us and the Zhou family, to enhance the Huang family’s leverage.

But she doesn’t want to go along with Huang Xinjun’s intentions. She agreed to me because she doesn’t want to disappoint her parents, and doesn’t want to stay at the Huang family suffering Huang Xinjun’s coercion any longer.

She said that if Huang Xinlong were still alive, she would never compromise. But now, she is her parents’ only child left, and she can’t completely disregard them.

Huang Xinjun is focused only on using the family’s girls to strengthen the Huang family’s influence, and the old master of the Huang family has completely condoned this behavior. Under these circumstances, it is simply impossible for her to turn the situation around.

So, she would rather be with someone she doesn’t dislike. In the future, if the Huang family really goes too far, she would choose to sever ties with the Huang family. She said she would absolutely not implicate the Lin family, nor target the Zhou family or Chuxia.”

“Did she personally tell you this?” Great Grandma Lin’s tone slightly softened.
