Chapter 34
Lin Yuzhen's face darkened after she was told off.
"Do not become arrogant just because you are in charge of this project. You have to thank your uncle for recommending you, otherwise I wouldn't have given you this chance at all."
The meaning of these words was very clear.
These words were mocking Lin Yuzhen.
She had worked so hard without complaining - how much had she suffered?
Lin Qiang hadn't helped her at all and had tripped her several times secretly. Now Lin Xiao was actually asking her to thank him instead.
Thank him for what? Making life difficult for her?
"Grandpa, I'm fine with the fact that you've always sided with their family."
Lin Yuzhen took a deep breath. "But can't you have some principles to differentiate truths from lies?"
"Such audacity!"
Lin Xiao was furious and slammed a palm on the table. "How dare you talk to me like this!"
He glared at Lin Yuzhen furiously. He didn't think she would have such poor manners.
"Lin Wen! Is this how you have taught your daughter? If you don't know how to teach your children, then don't give birth to any!"Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Lin Xiao continued his tirade, "What's the use of having a child that takes money out and doesn't bring any in! You want me to count on you? Get out now!"
Lin Wen wanted to defend himself, but he realized he couldn't find the words to say.
He saw the pain on Lin Yuzhen's face and blamed himself. He was ashamed that as a father, he couldn't protect his own daughter from attacks, and she had to suffer such disdain and humiliation!
Lin Wen clenched his fists tightly. He had never felt such deep despair before today.
"Yuzhen, let's go."
He looked hard at Lin Xiao. For the first time, he felt that this father of his was very distant from him.
Lin Yuzhen didn't say anymore, and pushed Lin Wen out.
Lin Xiao was still shouting in rage at them from behind.
"Leeches! A whole family of leeches! Not a single bit of gratitude at all! I must have been blind to have given your family a chance!"
Lin Wen and Lin Yuzhen felt the hurt in their hearts. Such insulting words were hurled at them by someone closest to them.
Neither looked very good as they walked out of the bungalow door.
Their faces were filled with silent suffering,
helplessness, disappointment and anger!
Jiang Ning had guessed as much.
After this round, they should now understand that they didn't have anything to do with this family anymore.
They were able to remain in the family only because Lin Yuzhen was useful to them.
But once this project was completed, Lin Xiao would kick Lin Yuzhen out of the family without hesitation!
He didn't ask anything. He only walked over and took over Lin Yuzhen in pushing Lin Wen's wheelchair. "Yuzhen, go open the car door, let's go home."
The air in the car was very heavy.
Lin Wen was sitting at the back, and he finally couldn't hold it in anymore. He angrily punched his numb legs.
"Useless! Useless!”
Lin Wen continued punching his legs, "Lin
Wen, you're a good for nothing!"
"Dad!"
Lin Yuzhen's heart went out to her father. She turned and her tears started flowing. "Don't be like this.”
"Yuzhen, your father is useless and I have let you down! I have caused you to suffer like this."
Lin Wen's lips were trembling.
He blamed himself, he was ashamed of himself.
If he hadn't become paralyzed, they wouldn't be in this situation today.
Even if Lin Xiao despised Lin Yuzhen for being a girl, at least he would have been able to protect her and not allow anyone to bully her.
"Dad, I don't blame you. Really, I've never blamed you at all."
Lin Yuzhen shook her head. "You and Mum love me very much and I know that both of you have always given me only the best, you don't have to blame yourself."
Today she had seen very clearly for herself that her family had no place in Lin Xiao's eyes at all.
So what if they worked hard?
In the end, they weren't even worth a few nice words from Lin Qiang.
Lin Wen pulled at his own hair. He hated how helpless he was. The more Lin Yuzhen tried to console him, the more ashamed he felt.
"Dad, it is indeed your fault that Yuzhen has suffered so much.”
Jiang Ning had remained silent all this while, and he glanced into the rear mirror.
Lin Yuzhen turned back, "Jiang Ning, what are you saying!"
"It's because you've been so weak, so all the people in the Lin family look down on
your family, trampling all over Mum and Yuzhen. They are women, but they've had to endure so much bullying, so it's only right that you feel ashamed of yourself."
