Chapter 324: Wretch

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation     Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Stand up, stand up!” Old Lady Lin and Lin Laoyao’s wife forcefully pulled Lin Laoyao to his feet, storming into the ward with an intimidating presence.

Upon seeing the face of Mother Lin, Old Lady Lin’s teeth gritted in anger. Her eyes then fell upon a young, beautiful woman cradling a child, a woman who bore a striking resemblance to Mother Lin in her youth, another seductive vixen! Even without asking, she knew this must be Gu Zi.

Old Lady Lin pointed accusingly at the mother-daughter pair, spewing venomous words. How dare they lay a hand on her grandson, it was as if they were courting death.

‘You useless old hag, you think you’re something special now, don’t you?” she spat. “Bringing back this little wretch, what good can come of it? She’s not even worth a fraction of Lin Miao. Useless, only causing trouble, even daring to accuse my precious grandson, Lin Jie. If anything happens to him, I swear you two will pay dearly…”

The family in the neighboring bed shook their heads in disbelief. Who was this old woman, they wondered, how could she spew such vile words, especially being a woman herself?

Mother Lin was familiar with Old Lady Lin’s consistent behavior. She herself had often been the target of the elder’s verbal abuse in her younger years.

Because her husband had always treated her well, Mother Lin had always tolerated her mother-in-law’s behavior. Even when the elder woman went around calling her a seductive vixen who had ensnared her son, Mother Lin had never lost her temper.

But now, after finally finding Gu Zi, to hear the elder woman hurling the same insults at her, Mother Lin could no longer hold her peace. After all, this mother-in-law had never treated her as a daughter-in-law.

Stepping in front of Gu Zi, Mother Lin retorted, “I am not useless, and neither is my daughter. Mother, you are of an advanced age, it would be best if you were kinder and refrained from speaking ill of others.”

Old Lady Lin’s eyebrows furrowed in anger, she felt as if Mother Lin was rebelling against her, daring to contradict her. She lunged forward, intending to strike Mother Lin, but Su Shen swiftly stepped in front of her, his cold eyes fixed on the elder woman.

Old Lady Lin was taken aback by Su Shen’s icy gaze. Despite his handsome features, his stare was as intimidating as the King of Hell himself.

At her age, Old Lady Lin harbored a certain fear of death. She involuntarily took a step back.

In a deep voice, Su Shen warned, “Apologize to my mother and my wife, or I assure you, Lin Jie will rot in jail.”

Lin Laoyao’s wife felt a chill run down her spine at Su Shen’s words. This was Su Shen, the only wealthy man in their circle. If he intended to target Lin Jie, then Lin Jie was done for.

Gu Zi, the cunning little vixen, had ensnared Su Shen’s soul, it seemed, for he was fiercely protective of her.

Finally, Lin Laoyao’s wife swallowed her pride and pleaded with Su Shen, “Little Su, we are all family, aren’t we? It’s not uncommon for families to have small disputes and disagreements. It’s not serious enough to send Lin Jie to jail. He’s about to get married, please, show mercy.”

Old Lady Lin chimed in, “Exactly, we are all family. Su Shen, you should be calling me grandma. Listen to your grandma, let’s put this matter to rest. I was just upset earlier, but what these two have done…”

Old Lady Lin was a typical old -fashioned woman who despised other women. She rarely had anything good to say about them, but her attitude towards men was entirely different. Gu Zi found this old woman utterly disgusting.

With a cold snort, Gu Zi retorted, “Now you want to claim family ties? It’s too late. Instead of wasting time here, why don’t you go prepare for your precious Lin Jie’s prison stay, make sure he’s comfortable.”

Su Shen patted Gu Zi’s back, his protective stance evident. He addressed Old Lady Lin and her family, “As I said, apologize. And let me clarify, I was the one who reported the incident to the police, not Gu Zi or my mother. As Gu Zits husband, I would be ashamed if I couldn’t even do this much for her.” Old Lady Lin, Lin Laoyao and his wife were at a loss. They hadn’t expected Su Shen to be the one who reported the incident.

Gu Zi, that cunning little vixen, had truly bewitched Su Shen.

No wonder the police had acted so swiftly. Rumors had circulated that many influential figures had attended Su Shen’s wedding, and it seemed they were true.

After a moment of silence, Old Lady Lin shot a glare at her second son lying on the hospital bed. She wailed, “Oh, my life is so hard! At my age, I have to watch my beloved grandson be sent to jail. I can’t bear to live anymore….”
