“Threaten you?” Lin Tian could not understand why Tongtong said that Zhang Lin threatened her.

Zhang Lin saw Lin Tian’s expression and said, “Tongtong is always talking nonsense. I’ve only asked her to come back to discuss some things, but she always assumed the worst of me.”

“Weren’t you the one who used Grandmother to threaten me?” Guan Tong scoffed at Zhang Lin’s excuse. Zhang Lin’s ability to manipulate right and wrong to do her dishonest work never changed.

Lin Tian still trusted Guan Tong because the closest to Guan Tong was only her grandmother. Moreover, Guan Tong probably hated the Lin family to the bone now. If it weren’t for the extremely urgent matter, Guan Tong probably wouldn’t come back here, and he was sure that Guan Tong had the interest just to go and visit any of them.

“You did such a thing?” Although Lin Tian was sometimes weak and incompetent, there were some things that he couldn’t bear to let happen.

“Hmm, if I don’t do such a thing, would you have agreed to me? You have to know that the Lu family invested in our family because you married this girl into the Lu family. Otherwise, the Lin family would have long gone bankrupt. If this matter is exposed, we’ll be in for a long haul!” Zhang Lin defended her actions.

She was livid at her husband’s words, so she explained everything. Zhang Lin felt that Guan Tong was already fortunate to marry into the Lu family. She would enjoy life with the riches and comfort of the Lu family. Moreover, she was so ugly. Zhang Lin couldn’t see how Guan Tong could have a better life.

“Ugh…” Lin Tian struggled. He had to admit that what Zhang Lin said was right. If they didn’t sacrifice Guan Tong, everyone in the Lin family would struggle even to afford food.

“Tongtong, why don’t you…listen to your aunt.” Lin Tian was defeated. Guan Tong finally understood why Zhang Lin asked her to come back. Zhang Lin must have found out that Lin Fei was taken away by Lu Han and was afraid that Lin Fei would say something. However, Lin Fei was taken away under Guan Tong’s name.

Guan Tong felt a chill in her heart when she heard Lin Tian’s words. Her uncle’s heart indeed ached for her. However, this kind of heartache could never be compared to his love for his daughter, Lin Fei, his own family, or even his money. That was the reason Lin Tian had chosen to swallow his anger. As to why he made his decision and allowed such acts from Zhang Lin to happen, Guan Tong had no reason to ask further, and she did not want to hear any sad excuse that would come from him.

“Did you meet Lu Han before a few months back?” Zhang Lin asked.

Guan Tong was confused by Zhang Lin’s question, see Lu Han? Why would Zhang Lin want to know? Guan Tong had clear memories of all the people she had seen before, except that night. Guan Tong suddenly remembered that Lu Han could be the man from that night, yet she was too flustered then. She didn’t see the man’s face. Besides, nobody would know this except herself and that mysterious man.

“I haven’t seen him before the marriage.” Guan Tong thought that Zhang Lin must have heard something from Lin Fei, so she denied it. Zhang Lin, however, didn’t believe it. Lu Han was obviously coming for Guan Tong. How could she not have seen him before?

“Did you get the wrong person?” Guan Tong also didn’t believe it. Was Lu Han the man from that night?

“How is that possible?” Zhang Lin didn’t believe it at all. If she hadn’t seen him before, why would Lu Han come and look for Guan Tong from her name?

“How is that possible? You’d better ask what your precious daughter is doing outside.” Guan Tong said sarcastically.

“No matter what, you’ll always be Lin Fei. Don’t tell anyone about who you are. It doesn’t matter if you knew Lu Han before or not. If you dare to say a word to him about your real identity, your grandmother better watch her back.” Guan Tong’s words hurt Zhang Lin, so she threatened her.

“What did you just say?” Guan Tong couldn’t believe that someone would be so shameless to cling onto the Lu family’s leg.

“You ugly girl, are you deaf? Can’t you understand me?” Because of Zhang Lin’s audacious words, Guan Tong could not react in time. Zhang Lin was too shameless to use Guan Tong’s grandmother as leverage against her maliciously.

“You…” Before Guan Tong could speak, she heard a sharp voice from outside. “Mother…”

Guan Tong was stunned. Why was this sharp voice so familiar? Then, everyone saw that it was Lin Fei who had returned. However, Lin Fei’s clothes were tattered, her hair was messy, and there were bloody cuts on her face. Lin family’s usually exquisite “Little Princess” was now worse than a street beggar.

“Fei’er, what’s happened to you?” Zhang Lin saw Lin Fei and rushed up to her with a look of concern on her face. Zhang Lin had always treated her daughter with a kid glove as if her daughter would break at a slight touch. Zhang Lin had never seen her daughter like this.

“Mother…” Lin Fei threw herself into Zhang Lin’s arms and cried out loud. She had never been wronged like this since she was young too. Her tears flowed to her bloodied face, causing Lin Fei to gasp in pain. She quickly pushed Zhang Lin away.

“Fei’er, what happened? How did you end up like this?” They thought that perhaps, the Young Master of the Lu family was a sadist. Maybe he abused Lin Fei? Zhang Lin was guessing in her head, what if the Young Master of the Lu family liked to hurt girls for fun?

At this moment, Lu Han sneezed a few times.. Was someone talking about him behind his back?
