Chapter 847: Chapter 847: Huh? What could we possibly mean?
He didn’t bother to check Grandpa Yin’s expression and took a seat in front of the hospital bed. Handing her the apple Lin Fan had peeled, he said with a chuckle, “Rest assured, Yin Zhen, The Lin family definitely doesn’t engage in manipulation or deceit. Look at how Tangtang has been raised by me: pretty and happy. Not bad, right?”
Caught off guard by Mr. Lin’s words, Yin Zhen seemed to zone out for a moment before coming back to reality when an apple was stuffed into her hand. Noticing Grandpa Yin’s grim expression suddenly made her get it, and she revealed a smile to Mr. Lin, “Uncle Lin, you don’t mind the trouble?”
“What trouble? Raising one daughter is raising, and two is the same. If someone doesn’t cherish you, we don’t need to fawn over them either. If you have no objections, how about forming an honorary family tie with our family?”
Grandpa Yin coughed dryly at the side.
Mr. Lin spared him a glance, “Old Master Yin’s throat seems to be uncomfortable, and since we’re at the hospital, you might as well get it checked out.”
Grandpa Yin’s face grew sour, “What is Mr. Lin implying?”
“Huh? Implying? I just wanted to acknowledge a god sister for Tangtang, what else could it mean?” Mr. Lin feigned ignorance.
“To accept a god relation is a matter for both families, Mr. Lin should have discussed it with me,” Grandpa Yin asserted.
Mr. Lin shook his head, “It’s not the same with our family. In our case, accepting a god relation is a personal matter.”
Grandpa Yin was infuriated by his nonsense.
Rising to his feet, he banged his walking stick on the ground and sternly said to Yin Zhen, “I won’t interfere in your matters, but remember the promise you made to me just now. I think your mother too would have wanted to enjoy happy family times. Don’t disappoint me.”
Mr. Lin squinted at Grandpa Yin, then turned affectionately back to Yin Zhen, “I feel he’s threatening you, need any legal help? Oh right, my son-in-law’s legal team is unbeatable. How about borrowing them to blow off some steam?”
Grandpa Yin stumbled in his steps.
After Grandpa Yin left, Yin Zhen finally showed a genuine smile, “I’ve noticed that you and Tangtang really are alike, Uncle Lin.”
Especially how just now you subtly jabbed at Grandpa Yin.
“That’s right, like father, like daughter,” Mr. Lin beamed with pride.
He glanced over at the man not far away and casually asked, “Your boyfriend?”
Lin Fan looked up, his gaze shifting to Yin Zhen.
Yin Zhen gave him a glance back, then answered, “Yes, my boyfriend.”
Lin Fan pursed his lips and slowly broke into a bright, shiny smile.
“The young man looks quite spirited,” Mr. Lin appraised him, “What does he do? Is he from C City? How old is he?”
After asking, Mr. Lin wondered if he had been too inquisitive and explained, “If it’s not convenient to answer, it’s alright. Tangtang and Yin Zhen are close, and I just got carried away with my questions, haha.”
Confronted with an elder’s “interrogation,” Lin Fan started to feel uneasy.
Yin Zhen’s mouth curved slightly on the side.
The atmosphere in the hospital room grew more relaxed.
Yin Zhen didn’t mention the idea of forming a god relationship. She knew that without any particular reason or benefit involved, it usually isn’t possible to acknowledge a god relation.
What Lin Mingzhuo said was probably to irk Grandpa Yin on purpose.
After Mr. Lin left, Yin Zhen asked Lin Fan to sit by the bedside and took his hand, “I didn’t tell Grandpa Yin about our relationship earlier because I didn’t want to say it, but because I feared they would target you.”
Just like they took away her dearest mother.
“So you were trying to protect me just now?”
Not that you didn’t want to acknowledge me?
Yin Zhen nodded, and Lin Fan smiled happily.
The hospital room settled into a quiet calm, and reminiscing about the past few days, Yin Zhen picked up her phone and sent Lin Gantang a message, “Thank you, thank you to you and Uncle Lin.”
