Chapter 35 - Being Threatened

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Guan Tong woke up the next day, and the sky was already bright. She had a good sleep last night. She didn’t know why, but she felt very safe.

“How was your sleep?” Lu Han looked at the well-rested Guan Tong and asked.

“I slept quite well.” Guan Tong told him the truth. Lu Han smiled lovingly. Guan Tong, who had just woken up, looked like a cute kitten, but she was a kitten that could scratch people up.

“Get up and have your breakfast. Grandmother should have already asked someone to prepare it for you,” Lu Han said. 

Guan Tong was slightly confused when she heard Lu Han’s words, as he talked to her like an old married couple. Guan Tong shook her head and brushed away her fantasies.

“Okay, let’s go down. We shouldn’t let Grandmother wait for too long.” Lu Han brought Guan Tong to the dining hall. The Old Madam looked at Guan Tong with concern, but her eyes drifted to Lu Han as if asking whether Lu Han took good care of Guan Tong last night. Lu Han understood the Old Madam’s gaze and nodded immediately. Only then did the Old Madam feel relieved.

“Grandmother, the Cheongsam you’re wearing today is beautiful.” Today, the Old Madam wore a red Cheongsam, making her look even younger and festive.

“My granddaughter-in-law has good taste.” Sure enough, the Old Madam was pleased with Guan Tong’s compliment.

After they ate, Guan Tong accompanied the Old Madam to tea. Then, she heard the phone ring and looked at the familiar number on the screen. It was Zhang Lin on the other end. Guan Tong looked at it with an empty gaze.

“What do you want now?” She unwillingly answered.

“You ugly girl, why are you talking to your aunt with this tone?” Zhang Lin was displeased with Guan Tong’s tone. Guan Tong sneered. She never saw Zhang Lin as her aunt.

“Just tell me what you want.” Guan Tong didn’t have time to keep Zhang Lin on the call as she wanted to go to the hospital to see her grandmother later.

“Come back here for a while. I have something to tell you.” Zhang Lin’s tone was full of pride.

“Why do I have to go back?” Guan Tong didn’t see any reason to return to the Lin family home.

“Think about your grandmother.” Zhang Lin was proud when she brought up Guan Tong’s grandmother as leverage. Guan Tong hated it. 

Zhang Lin used her grandmother to threaten her again. Unfortunately, she couldn’t afford to pay for her grandmother’s treatment, and she wouldn’t ask Lu Han for money either. For a moment, she was stuck in a dilemma.

“Okay, fine, I’ll go back now.” Guan Tong gritted her teeth as she agreed to the appointment.

Zhang Lin was pleased that she could boss Guan Tong around. The ugly girl cared about her grandmother the most, so Zhang Lin saw it as the right choice to use Guan Tong’s grandmother to threaten the girl.

“Grandmother, I have to head out first.” Guan Tong thought it was better to tell the Old Madam.

“Alright, do you want Han’er to go with you?” The Old Madam put down the teacup and asked with concern.

“It’s not necessary. He just woke up from his coma. I think he should just rest at home.” Guan Tong said. Old Madam looked at her with such love. How kind and understanding must this girl be?

…

Guan Tong walked through the door at the Lin family home, and her face was expressionless. If it weren’t for her grandmother, she wouldn’t have tolerated these people to this degree.

“Why did you look for me…” Before Guan Tong could finish her words, she saw Lin Tian sitting on the sofa.

“Uncle?” Guan Tong couldn’t remember how long it had been since she last saw Lin Tian. She still remembered how much Lin Tian loved her when she was young but who would have thought that things would turn out like this. Lin Tian’s face was similar to Guan Tong’s mother’s, which caught her off guard, but she quickly regained composure.

“Tongtong, are you here to see me?” Lin Tian quickly stood up. Lin Tian once felt sorry for Guan Tong in the past, who would know that it would later turn out to be himself blinded by money.

“Huh? Don’t you know who she is now? Why would she come to see you?” Zhang Lin ridiculed her husband. Lin Tian’s face turned red with anger when he heard Zhang Lin’s words. They were the ones who forced the identity of the Lu family’s Young Madam onto Guan Tong. Now Zhang Lin was the one who ridiculed him for being beneath his niece.

“Stop talking!” Lin Tian yelled to Zhang Lin.

Zhang Lin snorted coldly. She knew that the man she married was too indecisive and weak. Back then, when they were fighting for the family property, she was the one who blew the wind on Guan Tong’s family. At first, Lin Tian was unwilling to let Guan Tong marry into the Lu family on behalf of Lin Fei no matter what. However, after Zhang Lin and Lin Fei’s continuous nagging, he finally agreed. 

“Tongtong, I’m so sorry for what I did to you.” Lin Tian didn’t want Guan Tong to be the substitute wife for the Lu family, but he couldn’t bear to part with his daughter. 

Guan Tong felt the urge to cry when she heard Lin Tian’s words. She didn’t know where it started, but her loving uncle started to distance himself from her. In the end, he kicked her out of his family and forced her to marry Lu Han.

“Tongtong, if you need anything in the future, just come to me. I’ll do my best to help you.” Lin Tian knew that he owed Guan Tong a lot.

Guan Tong could tell that the guilt on Lin Tian’s face was not fake. It seemed that his uncle still had some humanity left in him.

“I know, Uncle.” Lin Tian was overjoyed when he heard Guan Tong call him uncle as he hadn’t heard it for a long time.

“Didn’t you call me here today to threaten me for something?” Guan Tong turned to Zhang Lin and asked. Zhang Lin was stunned. She wanted to take advantage of Lin Tian’s absence to negotiate with Guan Tong, but it didn’t matter.. That old grandmother of Guan Tong had nothing to do with Lin Tian, so what if Zhang Lin would use her as a bargaining chip?
